PRAISE FOR MIR FENNELL

Tho Western Division of the New Eng
 land Road in Better Condition Than
 Ever Before.
 Travellers on the western division of the New England road speak in glowing terms of the management of affairs under the direction of Superintendent T. H. Fen nell. The road along that section is in much better condition than ever before and the result of this is that there has been less accidents on the western division of the New England since Mir Fennell as- stunned control than during the correspond ing period under any other superintendent. The block signal system is one of his intro ductions and the trainmen pronounce it of incalculable benefit and claim that they would not now consider themselves safe without it's use
 Engineer James Muliigan: who has been in the employ of the company for many years. told a representative of the DEMO. GRAF the other day that he considered the road in better condition than it has been at any previous time of his knowledge and said that he makes his trips with greater | sense of security than ever before, for nothing has been left undone by Superin- tendent Fennell to secure the best possible l results both for the company and the patrons of the road.

TO REPEAL BOUNTY ACT

Governor May be Asked to Summon 6
 Special Legislative Session.
 The act passed by the last session of the leg islature providing that any veteran of the late rebellion, who was honorably dis charged, may recover from the town to which he was credited, the amount of bounty voted by that town, is causing more and more agitation among the local town authorities and those of other towns throughout the state.
 The claim of Edmund Shelley, a navy veteran, for $1 .430. including bounty and interest, presented st the meeting of the New Haven selectmen Tuesday night, has clused the citizens generally to open their eyes to the enormous responsibility which confronts them. and has set them to cal culating It has been computed on the basis of Shelley's claim that the town will be called upon to pay at least $500 900 and the sum may amount to S1 ,000, ,0OO. The most serious aspect of the case is that there is no way of shirking the responsibility. The act is clear and emphatic in it's terms, and if the bounties must be paid it is stated that many towns will be driven to the verge of bankruptcy.
 Attorney Edmund z .cher, who is coun- sel for the towns of Branford and North Branford, has advised those towns to re- fuse to pay the bounties and to fight the claims in the courts. As a consequence the two towns have issued a circular to the town counsels throughout the state, asking them to co operate wilh them in a move ment to have the governor call a speci Il session of the legislature to repeal the bounty act

SERIOUS CHARGES.

Concerning the Death of Little Mary
 Lexotte-What pr OsHara Says. Yesterday afternoon reporter of the DEMOCRAT was informed that the death of little Mary Lezotte, daughter of Paul Le- zotte, of 235 North Elm street. which took place last Sunday night, occurred under ! somewhat. suspicious circumstances. It will be remembered that the child was badly scRlded Saturday afternoon and died of congestion of the lungs Sunday night. No doctor was called until Sunday. It is alleged that few hours before the child died there was loud noise heard in l the house and this has led the neighbors | to say that the child, which was getting along all right up to that time. was injured | in a scuffie and that death was not due to natural causes.
 Dr O'Hars, who attended the child, was asked about the case last night and said he had heard the story, but did not believe that there was any truth in it. He be- lieved that the injuries which the child re- csived were sufficient to cause death, While he was not called when the accident occurred, still the family handled the child all right during the interval. using sweet oil and other ointment and this, he said, was about all a physician could have done in such case.
 Undertaken Mulville, who buried the child, said he saw several burns on the body of the child and that was all. Acting Medical Examiner Graves was asked this afternoon if the case had been reported to him. He said it had and he called there Monday evening in company with Deputy Coroner Callahan and inquired about the case among the neighbors. but the coroner said he could not find sufficient evidence to warrant him in taking action. He instructed Dr Graves to make further inquiries and notify him if he thinks il necessary. Dr Graves said he intended tc start out this afternoon and make a thor ough investigation of all the rumors and if he finds anything that looks suspicious the body will be exhumed and an autopsy performed.
 Dr O'Hara and Undertaken Mulville W er' at the medical examiners office this morn ing prepared to tell all they know abou
 the case, but he was not prepared to hea
 them.
 It is generally conceded that there wa
 some trouble in the house, but what effect
 if any, the rumpus had upon the chil' must be determined later. MT Lezotte wa
 not home when the child was injured an, it is alleged that the trouble started be tween Lezotte and his mother-in-law be cause physician was not called in sooner

NO AGREEMENT YET.
The Proposed Denver Meeting Has Been In.
definitely Postponed Difficulties
in the Way,

Chicago, June 21.--The meeting which
the Western passenger lines was to
hold in Denver June "a has been in
definitely postponed, as has the general
meeting which the lines intend to hold
next week in Chicago. 1t has been
found practically impossible to re-
organize the association until after the
settlement Of the troubles between the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short line.
Until these matters are determined one
way or the other the Union Pacific
will not be in position to join any
association, and none of the Western
lines are disposed to enter into any
sort of an agreement on Western and
transcontinental business with the
Union Pacific on the outside. 1t is pos
sible that the meeting originally
scheduled for Denver will be held there
during the early part of July, but this
is by no means certain. 1t will, how
ever, be held before any general meet
ing of the Western lines is called.
The rates made on grain and
grain products by the Grand Trunk
and the Erie roads We're generally
met to-day by the Eastern lines.
No further reductions are ex-
pected Immediately, but it is reason
ably safe to say they will come unless
the money pool Is re-established.
