RAIL ROAD MAGNATEs.

Ohicials of the New England Road Visit
observation-disclosures Agent f. e.
Dewey Sprained His Ankle and Called
on Agent Manwaring For a Pair of
Clutches. $50
The special train containing Receivers
Platt and Perry and other officials of the
New England road pulled into the depot at
80 last night. The party spent all day
on the route from Foughkeepsie to this
city and must have made thorough in
spection of all points along The line, for 1t
is only a three hours run, The party did
not remain long here but passed on to
Cromwell, remaining there last night.
They remained here long enough, how
ever, to puzzle the genial ticket agent at
the local office. Mr. Manwaring was pre-
pared to answer all questions pertaining
to the road, but when Traffic Manager
Randolph asked him about the price of
crutches the ticket agent thought the Off
cial spoke in jest and is reported as saying
that the road did not deal in that line OF
business. 1t was explained that Trans
portation Agent T. E. Dewey had sprained
his ankle and needed a crntch to assist his
locomotion. Mr. ManwariDg and Mr. Ran
dolph then started out in search of pair
crutches and secured them at the
Waterbury drug store and presented
tnenl 10 MT dewey. IL WAS alleT"dIuS4e ttI leu
that they were too short and when the party
reached here on the return trip this morn
ing another pair were given in exchange.
The party arrived at the New England
depot from Cromwell about 10 o'clock this
morning. 1t is gorgeous equipage, the
| engine and cars being the handsomest
ever seen on the road and the officials the
most imposing body of men ever seen on
| the platform. Receiver Thomas G. Plat
was approached by representative of the
DEMOCRAT. He pointed to Mr. Perry who
stood by and said that he did all the talk
ing for the party. Mr. Perry smiled and
answered; "When the party started out
we decided that if any newspaper man
| should endeavor to interview us he should
be laid on the track and the engine run
over his body" He said an exception
would be made in the case of the DEMO
GRAFT and informed the reporter that there
was nothing the in trip except that in the
order made by the court they had been in
structed to make a thorough examination
of everything along the line and file re-
port with the court. They had found
everything in excellent condition, finely
drained, we'll bridged and in much better
| shape than most roads in the country. The
party consisted of Receivers Plat and
Perry, J. P. Odell. George F. Randolph

Bidwell H. B. Plat and Messrs Quigg
Vaughan and Dewey. After looking over
things in the local yard they left for Hart.

There Will be split if He Lays the
Home Rule Bill Aside for Other Meas
LONDON, March S.-The first council of
Lord Roseberys new ministry was held
this afternoon. The session was devoted
to discussing the queens speech which
will be read Mt the opening of parliament
and which is said to be quite an import
ant document. The MeCarthyites and
Healeyites are still in a very. much dissat-
isfed state of mind and a split is looked
for when a vote is taken on the
first measure proposed by the
new ministry. Both factions stated
this morning that unless they
received the most explicit assurances from
Lord Rosebery in regard to his policy on
home rule and the evicted tenants meas
ure the twenty members in these two
factions would divide against the govern
ment." There is no doubt that Lord Rose
berry is greatly concerned over the attitude
assumed by the Irish leaders and it is
probable that he will seek the aid of Mr.
Gladstone to bring about solution of the
difficulty. Both Justin Mccarthy and
Timothy Healey appear to fear that Lord
Rosebery will not follow Mr. Gladstone's
programme, but will lay the home rule
bill aside for other measures demanded by
the liberals.

\ Military Critic FINDS Fault With Adj

Adjutant General Bradley's report has
been received throughout the state with
much praise. A military critic to-day,
however said:
He finds space to criticize the system of
monthly figures of merit for each company
and says he thinks it is misleading. l don't
think that thing sits we'll with the officers.
They all know there are some cases of
juggling. but they think the general would
do much better to separate such cases than
to bring every captain under suspicion. /
have had some talk about the publication
of rating at annual inspection Previously,
it is true, it has been held that the lack of
such publication weakened the effect of the
muster and inspection. But in order to
have the ratings amount to anything there
than that now in use. They tell
me that some companies are
marked perfect in military discipline
and appearance when every one knows that
they are far from it. Still, they might
have been on the night of inspection and
it would have been so considered were it
not that other companies inspected by other
officers and distinguished in the brigade
for their excellent appearance, were marked
down. But how is an officer going to tell
in ten minutes inspection what the disci.
pline of the company is?

Tells of Probable Appointments.
Ex-Congressman Robert J. Vance of
New Britain reached New Haven on his
way home from Washington yesterday and
held a long consultation with members of
the democratic state central committee at
o'clock in the afternoon.
president Cleveland is more than anX-
ious to prevent factions from killing all
hopes of democratic success in New Eng
land" said Mr. Vance. Here in your
own district the second congressional, the
men who have supported democracy so
Loyalty in the past, will be sustained. Mr.
Mccain will receive his commission as
collector of the port of New Haven.
Frank G.. Beach will be the postmaster.
Selections, already outlined, for subordi-
nate places will be agreed upon. In fact,
they have been agreed upon already.
John ]. Lane, the private secretary of
Congressman James p. Pigott Of this dis
trict, arrived with Mr. Vance yesterday.
He is said to be slated for the assistant
postmastership at New Haven.
The New Haven News says: The out
come of the fight concerning the Water
bury postmastership will probably result
in the selection of Fred Brown the present
secretary of the state central committee.
The following special from Washington
was received by the DEMOCRAT to-day:
Representative Pigott called at the post
office department yesterday to talk with
Postmaster General Bissell regarding the
vacancies in the post offices at New Haven,
Meriden, Waterbury, Naugatuck and Mid
dletown. The postmaster general was too
busy to give MIR Pigott all the time he de-
sired, to discuss these matters, and sug-
gested that he call again to-day at given
hour when the entire subject will be care
fully gone over. Mr. Pigott thinks the
time has arrived when some action should
be taken with respect to these offices, and
is very hopeful that at his conference with
Mr. Bissell to-day, some understanding will
be reached as to when the vacancies will
be filled.
