mics claim at the meeting of the Che

was badly defeated by vote of "a

committee and the enrolling committee
Jointly call the next county convention.
They say that the Fassett men are In
a minority on both committees and that
the machinery is therefore in the hands
Of Mr.. Platt.
They are also saying that Fassett will
not be able to go as delegate to the
state convention. Mr.. Fassett laughs
at this claim. saying that the Platt men
have been crushing him for year and
have not succeeded in crushing him yet.

the past ten days she had been working
as a domestic in the family Of Edward
r. I.aPierre. at Norwichtown. in the
suburbs. The incident of Mrs. Card
ner's disappearance Is very queer one.
She is a plump, comely and vivaclous
western country woman, the wife OF
well-to-do and respectable farmer at
Arcadia. She has three small children
in her far western home. She went to
Boston as the regularly accredited En-
deavor delegate of her home church.
During her stay in Boston and boarding
with a Cambridge family she wrote
three affectionate letters to her hus-
band. In the second one she informed
him that she was dangerously Ill. This
was followed by third one purporting
to be in the writing of a Mrs. Brown.
who informed Mr.. Gardner that his
wife was dead and buried, and that 1t
would be idle for him to look into the
case further.
On receipt Of that epistle the husband
at once sent. friend. J. w. Landers, OF
Arcadia, to Boston to learn the circum-
stances of his wife's death. With the
aid of the Boston authorities Mr.. Lam
ders strove for many days fruitlessly to
obtain a clue to the missing woman.
He reached Norwich this afternoon, and
a after a couple of hours of search located
her at LaPierra4 Immediately after
the close of the Endeavorers' conven-
ton she had come to this town and
registered here as a member Of the
summer school for teachers, describing
herself as Dorothy Mansfield of Michi-
gan.
In an interview with Mr.. Landers, she
told him that she was satisfied to stay
in the east and peremptOrily refused to
return homes She added that her hus-
band had accused her Of being insane.
Mrs. Gardner and the LaPierres had
gone to bed when Times reporter
called at 10 o'clock tonight. but she came
to an upstairs window in the dark and
repeated substantially her statement to
Landers She is satisfied with her pres
ent place and will remain there as a
domestic.

RAILROAD NEWS.

The statement sent out by the Press

ing much 'uneasiness among the MEM
bers of these conservative organiza-
tions. A gentlemon of this city who Is
prominent in one of the railroad orders

lesson in good sound horse sense from
the railroad brotherhoods. Firebrands

their greatest foes and further, any at

the ruin of that order. "Debs may fight

That electricity will eventually be the
motive power of all the great railroads
of the country is the firm opinion of the
electrical optimists, and already they
are stating that the steam road Is

latter power is the best evidence yet
produced of the practlcability of the
scheme. Railroad men are inclined to
regard the change as almost too i'm
portant for newspaper discussion. They
want to see their way clearly before
committing themselves to an expression
of opinion. And now the deal between
the Baldwin Locomotive works and the
Westingham Electric company comes
at time when II carries g-sat weight

N. NJ. Allworth, Of London, who was
secretary Of the English delegation to
the international railway congress. in a
recent interview said: England. while
ahead of America in the block and sig
nal systems has lots to learn in the
matter of speed. The best train we
have ,uns from London to Perth in
nine hours end twenty minutes; the dis
tancc is exactly the same as that be-
tween New York and Buffalo. which Is
daily covered in eight hours and forty
minutes. As matter of fact, the
French are gradually securing pre-emi-
nencc among European countries in the
acceleration of the time made on long
runs. The Paris-Calais express time
equals that of any English train, and
the Parls-Bordeaux service is not far
behind. Safety In England is a greater
desideratum than speed, but It has only
been secured at cost that has we'll
