THE CouRr RECORD.

Superior Court, Civil Side, Opened Yester- day-Assignmento of Cases for Next Thurs day-Hearing Granted in Case of City vs. N. Y., N. II. and II. K. R.-Other Court Notes.
 Judge M. A. Shumway came to New Haven yesterday to hear the cases which had been assigned for trial in the superior court civil side, before him, but not one of the five on the list was ready for trial, and Judge Shum- way stated that he could not be here to try cases next week until Thursday as he is engaged in the trial of a case in Putnam, which will take until that time. He assigned the cases of s, A. York, jr,, against Breen and the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road vs. the city of New Haven espe- cially for next Thursday.
 There will be a short calendar ses- sion here this morning.
 The suit of Franklin F. Strong and wife against the Consolidated Railroad company, which was to have been tried yesterday, is in process of settlement, and will probably be withdrawn from the superior court next week.
 A HEARING GRANTED.
 Corporation Counsel Ely appeared before Judge Shumway in the superior court yesterday morning and asked that a speedy hearing be granted on the injunction suit brought against the city by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad to prevent them from planking the crossings. George D. Watrous, counsel for the railroad {, opposed the hearing.
 Judge ShumWay, however, granted a hearing on a motion to dissolve the in- | junction for next Thursday, and if this motion is denied another hearing or the merits of the controversy will be l held later.

THIRD RAIL SYSTEM.
Consolidated's Nantaslet Experiment
 Satisfactory.

Consolidated's Nantasket Experiment
 Satisfactory.
 The results obtained from the third rail on the Nantasket branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford system are said to be so satisfactory that the system will be adopted next year on number of the short lines of the Consolidated.
 President Clark, while in Providence recently, did not say that the. third rail would be used in the vicinity of Provi- dence next year, but he stated that the Nantasket experiment had exceeded his expectations, and that in all proba- bility the third rail will be installed on the Dedham branch This, 1t is be- lieved is the first step toward the dis continuance of steam locomotives in the suburban service of Boston.
 President Clark said that he was hardly prepared to accept the reports of the economy of electric traction at Nantasket. The figures seemed to be too favorable to be true, and before or dering an extended use of the third rail he wanted to be satisfied that the result which so greatly surprised him could be duplicated wherever the system was introduced. He trusted, however, that nothing to offset the saving in coal would be discovered.
 It appears that electricians who were consulted previous to the laying of the third rail have acknowledged that a steam railway man was able to tell them something about inSolation that they didn't know. MT Clark was in | formed that the rails must be insulated | by porcelain to insure conditions favor l able for economy at the power station. But the president of the Consolidated didn't see the necessity of adding so | largely to the cost of construction, and, knowing that wood was non-conduc- 1 tor, ordered the rails laid directly on 1 the ties Four months service has proved the correctness of MT. Clark's
 judgment Porcelain insolation isn't needed, even when an effort to break all records on economy is being made. | During the summer there were two cloud bursts at Nantasket, and the en- l tire road was under water. Trains were run as usual, and the submerging of the rails did not seem to effect the service in any way; the service was as
 efficient as when the roadbed was | baked hard by the July sun.
 l The electric cars are much more pop ular than the coaches handled by 1 steam locomotives because of the free dom from smoke and cinders. The Consolidated is preparing to give its
 patrons what they want and the re l norts from Nantaskpt indicate that the suburban service of the New York New Haven & Hartford will be superi-
 or to that of the best managed trolley | company. The Consolidated has not accepted the best offered by makers oi
 electrical machinery; it has spent 3 good deal of money experimenting, the intention being to produce better
 equipment and to do away with the ob- iectionable features of trolley construc' | tion.

Action by the Bank of England-Gold
 Still to Come Here.
 New York, Sept 24-A London cable dispatch to the New York Evening Post last evening says: 'To-day's gold withdrawal from the Bank of England was arranged before an announcement that the governors at their meeting to- day had advanced the minimum rate of discount a half per cent, but it is believed in good quarters that the rise to per cent. is not likely to check ex- ports to America. Gold will probably go tomorrow to Egypt"
 The Post adds: "The Bank of Eng land gold reserve decreased $4090, 900 this week; the Bank of Frances $4,- 235, ,O00.
 ''The London stock market prices for American securities were not adverse ly influenced by the action of the bank. On the contrary prices were slightly higher. The New York market also opened strong this morning, after hear ing the news from London.
 'The steamship Aurania, which ar rived from Liverpool this morning, brought S2O0,0O0 gold for the New York Produce Exchange bank, and the steamship Lahn, which came in last night, brought $65,OOO gold for Laden burgh, Thalmann & Go.
 "The treasury gained $50, 900 gold to- day on transfers of currency to New Orleans, of which there were s3OO,OOO The Bank of British North America re- ceived $1OO,OO0 gold from Canada yes terday. On the sterling exchange mar ket the rise had surprisingly little eff feet"

A GIANT ELM.
Measured by MT. I. w. Cobleigh at F'ramingham Mass

Eram1ngham, Mass.
 Monday mornings Bulletin contained a statement that the largest elm in New England, a tree eighteen feet in circumference, was located near North Bennington, Vt Secretary Cobleigh, of the Y. M C. A., in 1890 measured a gigantic elm, the measurements of which go ahead of the Vermont tree. It is located near the road from Fram- ingham to Fayville, and about mile from the latter place, on the farm of Nathan Gates
 One foot from the ground the trunk of this veritable giant measures twen- ty-eight feet six inches in circumfer- ence, and four feet up the girth it is twenty-two feet. It's longest limb has a girth of ten feet three inches and the next nine feet seven inches. The longest limb on it's northerly side reaches out sixty-thre feet; on the south side sixtysix feet, and on the west fifty-six The circumference of it's shadow at noon is two hundred and ninety-fve feet
 Two thousand people could easily find room beneath it's tremendous SpTedu. liueeu, IL Hdo peen liie 0Seiie of many a picnic party and more than one Gates family reunion. Beneath one great branch is a large two-story farm house. which appears like a toy compared with the tree.
 Upon one branch thirty feet from the trunk and twenty-one feet from the ground is a good-sized summer house, with seats for dozen people. This is built just where the limb forks, and is reached by stairs and a board walk out on the b.-Norwich Bulletin.

A FORMER NEW HAVENER.

For a Candidate for Governor of the
 Empire State-Theodore Bacon, Son
 of the Late Rev. Dr. Bacon of This
 City-His Name to be Presented.
 dispatch from Rochester, N. Y, last evening says as follows: "It is ex- pected that the delegates from this city to the national democratic state convention in Brooklyn will urge upon the other delegates the wisdom of the nomination of Theodcre Bacon for the governorship. They believe that his ability and character, hts unf1inching devotion to the cardinal principles of true democracy, and particularly the favor with which his lexer to Dr. An drew D. White has been received throughout the state would make him an ideal candidate. His power as a speaker is also cited as an element of his availability in a campaign of edu- cation like the present. Although it is not known whether he would accept, there is no doubt that he would be most glad to do whatever would secure the triumph of the cause of sound money.
 Theodore Bacon is a son of the late Rev. Dr. Bacon of this city, who was pastor of Center church for many years and who from his wisdom, age, ability and his large influence for many years in the councils of the Congrega tionaI- ists was known as the ''Nestor of Con- gregationalism." The New Yorker is a brother of Dr. Francis. Bacon of this city Another brother now in Califcr- mia is a former pastor of Dwight Place church, this city.

Various Stops Between Here and Hartford.

Various stops Between Here and Hartford.
 Hartford, Sept. 24-Bryan made short speeches at Cedar Hill, North Haven. Wallingford, Meriden and Berlin Through some mistake in train ar engagements, the special car containing MT. Bryan and party could not stop over at Meriden. Fully five thousand people were gathered at that station. MT. Bryan spoke from the rear plat form, but little of his short speech was heard. The band, expecting that the stay of the candidate was to be pro- tracted for half an hour at least, start ed in to give him a rousing serenade, and before the music had ceased the train was rolling out of the station, leaving a disappointed crowd The Mer- iden reception committee boarded the train at Wallingford.
 There were about 4000 people at the depot in this city to see the candidate. MT. Bryan arrived there as at New Haven to-day before the scheduled hour and he remained in his car, which had to be side tracked till 6:45, when the party was received by the Hart ford committee. MT Bryan's voice seemed to have improved since this morning, but at best he could not be heard at any great distance.

ment with the least effort.

MT Bryan prefaCed his remarks by denying that the silverites had raised sectional question. The restoration of bimetalism was not only good for the west and south but for the people of Connecticut also. Sometimes" he said they had accused people who live in Connecticut of making wooden nutmegs and selling them for the real article. I want to tell you that a man who palms off a wooden nutmeg as real nutmeg is a man of honesty compared with the man who advocates gold dollar and calls it an honest dol lar" Loud cheering followed this sediment MT Bryan asserted that you cannot have honest money and a gold standard at the same time, and q man in the crowd immediately asked why? Because a gold dollar, said MT Bryan, under a gold standard, grows fatter every day, and that is not an honest dollar. (Great applause.) Now what would be an honest dollar? Why, they say a dollar which, when you melt, loses nothing. According to | that the Mexican dollar is an honest dollar because you can melt it and 1t | doesn't lose anylnlnS.
 How much is it worth?" was asked | from the audience.
 | MT Bryan: Tt is worth just the same that the bullion in it is worth. Now, if the Mexican dollaf is worth l just as much as the bullion in 1t and the bullion In it is worth just as much as the Mexican dollar, then want to ask you if it is not an honest dollar ac- cording to those who say that an hon- est dollar is dollar that loses nothing by melting. (Applause)
 T understand that some of your em- ployers are very much worried for fear their employees will only get fifty cent | dollars. They need not be worried. Ii they have as much love for the laboring | man after the election as they have now, even if free coinage meant fifty cent dollars, they could pay their labor ing men twice as many dollars and save them from any harm done them my friends (Applause.)
 You say they won't do it? If they won't help you when they have a chance to, why do you believe them when they tell you they're losing sleeI at night now for fear you will huri yourselves? (Applause) Employers don't pay wages because they like to- they pay wages because they have to, and when there is a greater demand for labor there will be a better price paid to labor than there will bt when two men are looking for the same job. (Applause)
 "The gold standard destroys the op portunity to work; the gold standard makes men work half-time because there is nobody able to buy the pro ducts of the factories, and the farmer is not able to sell his crops for enough to pay taxes and interest. There is no a spot over which the American flag floats which will not be benefited b! the restoration of the money of tn, constitution. (Applause.) There is no a spot which will not be cursed by thu continuation of the gold standard. (Applause.)
 MT. Bryan concluded with the advic he has given frequently about votihs the republican ticket if a continuation of the gold standard is desired, and al insistence that the silver cause was no a craze.
