Her Ticket sixteen Years Old.


The fare from West Hampton, n. Y, to
Middetown on the New York. Ike Erie and
Western Railroad is 10 cents. l was aboard
a train which stopped at West Hampton the
other day and my attention was attracted by
a prim old maid who stepped aboard there
One could assert with safety aftera glance
at her bonnet and sha WI that both had done
service for many years. Conductor Manda-
vile stopped at her seat to get her ticket.
She found ii after some time in an old
fashioned pockctbook, the flaps OF which
were held together by an elastic band. He
smiled aS he looked a the ticket. and when
/ inquired about il he passed it over for my
inspection. II bore the date, May 3,
ISS0.''
Ten cents he said, and it's been
guarded sixteen years. I'll bet there's
no mortgage on the house she lives in
| wondered why the ticket had not been
used before.
You can bet she kept ii because il was
worth 10 cents. said the conductor He
was probably right. for when she reached
MiddletOwn. n far as the old ticket would
take her. She bought another for Port

WALLfNGFoRD.

N.
The heavy wind of Saturday night
has removed another of Wallingford's
old landmarks and the noble giant elm
tree that for 225 years has stood on
North Main street is now thing of
the past, as it succumbed to the fury
of the blast just before II o'clock Sat-
urday night and fell with a tremen-
dous crash that startled everybody in
the vicinity The tree fell toward the
southwest and completely blocks up
High street. Had it gone to the north
west the house nearby would have been
crushed and it inmates probably killed.
ONE OF THE LARGEST IN CONNEC-
TICUT.
The old elm was one of the largest,
If not the largest, in the state and
measured 81 feet in circumference two
feet from the ground, with a diameter
of seven feet and with it's branches had
a spread of 1856 feet. For several years
the trunk has been hollow and some
years ago some boys playing inside the
tree set fire to it and the fire engine
was called out to save the flames from
destroying the old landmark entirely.
The old tree has quite a history that
dates back to long before the Revolu-
tionary war.
DURING THE INDIAN WARS.
Just north was a fort used in those
days of peril as a refuge in case of
an Indian attack. There was, it is said,
another fort or block house down in
South Main street near where E. r.
Halls house now stands, and it is also
told how during the long and dreary
hours of his vigilant night watch the
sentinel use to rest secure in~the crotch
Of the old elm, where there was a clear
view for miles around. Tradition also
states that
THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY.
General George Washington and staff
while journeying from Boston to New
York rested for awhile under the far
spreading branches Of the old tree.
Another old legend was that during the
long and weary struggle Of our fore
fathers for liberty during the Revolu-
tionary war; a Tory was hung by the
enraged citizens who had banded into
a vigilance committee, to one of the
limbs of the old tree and allowed to
remain in it's lofty position for sew
eral days as a warning to other traitors
who might prove unfaithful to their
country in its hour of peril. The same
limb has been pointed out to the young
boys and girls for years, who have
gazed up to the very place with awe
and almost in their Imagination could
see the shadow of the despised Tory
dangling from the end Of a rope The
tree has for time immemorial been the
pride of the citizens with it's many ira
ditions and yesterday the relic hunt
ers were out in force with saws and
knives cutting souvenirs and cords of
the branches were carried away.
FOUR INCHES OF RAIN FELL.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1896-03-02

ending Sunday morning, was just four
inches as registered by the water gauge
at Mrs 3. It. Harrison's and is the
heaviest fall ever recorded here in that
number of hours. The water in the
Quinnipiac river and the lake was the
highest that has been known for years
and at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
there was a body of water going over
the dam $50 feet wide and four feet
deep. The warm rain and fog broke
up the ice in the lake, which was car
ried over the dam and went crashing
down the river into the trees along
side and carrying everything before it.
The addition put on Wallace's dam last
fall was carried away and the meadows
below were flooded. Above the lake the
water was up to the rails on the cleo
trio road and the old turnpike covered
in places by a foot of water. At the
lake the high water played havoc with
the docks and bathing house on Para
disc Island and all but one piece Of
dock was carried, away and went over
the dam Early in the morning two
boats were launched and the Lakesides
life saving crew were out and saved
one long dock, which was afioat, also
the bathing house. The latter was tow
ed ashore and securely fastened, but
later a gang of contemplate hoodlums
out of pure cussedness cut loose the
bathing house, which was sent out into
the current and went crashing over the
dam. A Waterman was kept at Malt
by, Stevens & Curtis Co.'S factory all
day to look after the property in the
yards, which was liable to be carried
away by the flood.
J. P. Stevenson and George hampton
were over to Paugh pond Sunday af-
ternoon and found that the guage in
the gatehouse registered "A inches,
which shows gain of ten inches since
Friday afternoon. A stream Of water
four feet wide and eight inches deep
was running into the pond through the
canal. Considerable water must have
been lost by bad break in the banks
of the canal during Saturday night.
The break was repaired yesterday and
is in good working order again. The
water in the pond is now fully foot
higher than a year ago.
A very bad washout and dangerous
place is reported in the road on North
Elm street, east from George Beau
monts, which needs the attention of
the authorities.
During Saturday nights gale the
pieces of the slate from the roof of town
hall were flying in all directions and
several passers-by on Center street mar
rowly escaped injury by the flying
pieces
