wreck occurred on the Northampton
division of the Consolidated road near
Milldale tonight, which resulted in the
wrecking of one car and the total de-
struction of a caboose. None of the
train hands were injured, however.
The accident was due to the break

regular freight in charge of Conductor
Burke, which leaves here at $40, was
following closely behind and when the
detached part of Conductor Chases
train came running down the sharp

the irons. The engineer and fireman
on Conductor Burkes train jumped be-
fore the collision and escaped injury
A wrecker was Immediately sent from

the parlors of the First NJ. e. church
tomorrow evening at o'clock. Every

measure, keep up the systematic study
which they have previously enjoyed.

further knowledge, and feel, moreover,
the need of guidance in their reading.

years course is complete in itself. The
Chautauqua Reading circle became an
established institution in 1878 The
books to be read during the current
year are: Imperial Germany" by Sid
ney Whitman; "The Social Spirit in

tauqua," the official magazine of the

POLICE CO5TMTSsIONE
Board of Finance to be Asked to Recon-
mend Transfers.

Board of Finance to be Asked to Recon-
mend Transfers.
The police commissioners held a
short session last night and voted to
ask the board of finance to recommend
to the common council the transfer of
$3.50 from the forage account to the po-
lice alarm account and of $50 from the
special detective account to the police
alarm account, both transfers being of
funds from accounts in the police de-
partment. The transfers are absolute
ly necessary to meet existing indebted
ness in the police alarm account.
1t was announced that James Nc
Queeney was eligible for promotion to
grade A, and the matter was referred
to the efficiency committee. While the
promotion was under discussion Super
intendent Wrinn remarked that there
was no better man on the force than
McQueeney.
The application of Harry Goode for
appointment as a special constable was
referred to the efficiency committee.
The application gave rise to some dis
cussion as to the need Of a large num-
Der of special constables.
Commissioner Hubbard thought that
there was no reason why every man
who asked should be appointed special
constable. He thought that it was well
enough to appoint men who are watch
men in factories, or who are employed
in halls, but thought that there was no
need of so many special constables in
other places.
Superintendent Wrinn expressed the
same opinion.

HAILRoAD COMPANY PROTESTS

Against Being Assessed for Damages for
Change of Grade in East Chapel Street.
The board of compensation last night
held hearing on the benefits and
damages caused by the building of the
East Chapel street railroad bridge.
Attorneys Alling and Webb of Alling,
Webb & Morehouse, appeared to rep
resent the Fair Haven and Westville
Railroad company, and Attorney Wat
rous of Watrous & Buckland to repre-
sent the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company and the
New Haven Gas company.
Mr.. Watrous presented the following
protest against the assessment of dam
ages in behalf of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad:
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company respectful
ly protests against the assessment of
any damages in favor of any party
which may form the basis of any claim
against said company by reason of the
construction rof the bridge in East
Chapel street over the railroad tracks,
or by the approaches thereto or by
reason of the changes in grade necessi-
tated thereby.
Said bridge was ordered neither
upon the application Of the city of New
Haven nor upon that Of this company,
but by the railroad commissioners
upon their own motion. This was the
governmental act of the state in the
exercise of it's police power Damages
resulting from such acts does not en-
title parties incidentally affected there
by to compensation unless specially
authorized by law. The statute upon
which this order was based makes no
provision for the payment of dam
ages to individuals except where the
railroad company takes land for the
purpose of carrying out the order. In
cidental damages from change Of grade
alone is not "a taking IF land" accord
ing to ihe DECISIONS of the supreme
court of this state.
There is not so far as this company
is aware any statute or rule of law
which confers the right to make any
such assessment.
Respectfully Submitted,
N. Y, N. H. & H. r. r. co.
By Watrous e Buckland, it's attor-
neys.
This protest having been read, Com
missioner Coyle asked Mr.. Watrous, if
in case the bureau of compensation de-
cided to assess damages, he would sub
NIT an estimate of damages Mr. Wat
rous replied that he would not care to
do so, but would trust to the judgment
of the board to assess fair damages.
He was then asked by President Hill
ler of the board if he meant to say
that he would accept the Judgment of
the board in any damages that might
be assessed and not appeal to the
courts Mr.. Watrous replied that he
did not wish to be so understood, but
desired to reserve the privilege Of ap-
pealing if he decided that the proper
caurse to pursue.
After hearing Mr.. Watrous the board
went into executive session and dis
cussed the matter on which the hear
ing had been held, not arriving at any
decision as regards assessment of dam
ages, however.

TIE FOOT UARD
And Their Part in the Farragut Day Cello
bratlon,


The Second company, Governors Foot
Guard, returned from the Farragut day
celebration in Hartford yesterday at
about $3.50 D. IN. A full account Of the
celebration is given in another part of
the paper. The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the day was the most
enjoyable one the company has spent
for some time. The company, l5O
strong, accompanied by the Second reg
lment band of thirty pieces, arrived in
Hartford at about II o'clock. They
were met at the depot by the First
company, Governors Foot Guard, and
escorted to the new Hartford hotel,
where lunch was served and the ia
t1gue uniforms were changed for full
dress. Thence they proceeded to the ar
mory ofthe First company, and from
there marched to their place in the line
of parade. After the parade the COM
pany returned to the New Hartford
hotel, where fatigue uniforms were
again donned and light lunch served.
The company then repaired to the First
company's armory, where they were
most royalty entertained by the mem
bers of the company and a banquet
given them. A pleasant feature Of the
meeting of these two famous military
organizations was the presentation of a
handsome silver loving cup two feet
in height by the Second to the First
company. Major Brown made the pre-
sentation remarks on behalf of the Sec
ond company, and Major Hyde re-
sponded, accepting on behalf of the
First,
The appearance Of the Second COM
pany was greeted with continuous ap-
plause all along the line.
On Main street, where the width per-
mitted such a manoeuvre the COM
pany marched in battalion formation,
the two lines of eighty men each
stretching from curb to curb of the
broad street.
The police did efficient work in clear
ing the crowd from the street, thus
making battalion formation possible
The banquet to the company by the
First company in the armory is the
first time the Second company has been
entertained there. .. .
Many of the veterans of Admiral
Foote post also went to Hartford, and
were escorted to the depot by the Foot
Guard.
All speak of the parade as a highly
successful and enjoyable one.
