the house with all after the enacting
clause stricken out and the Henderson
bin as agreed on inserted as an amend
ment or substitute.
There were two important changes
from the bill as reported by the sub
committee. The bill as drawn provided
in effect that all liens created by judg-
ment and levy or by attachment with

bankruptcy should be void, or. If en-
forced, go for the benefit of the credit

Success with the system In Connecticut Leads
to Its Further Use.
: HARTFORD. Conn.,. June 22.-Encouraged by
the successful working of the third.rail electric
road between this city and Now Britain and
tho receipts from traffic, which have exceeded
expectations, the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company to-day put 100 men
to work double tracking the road between Ber-
lin and New Britain. A single track 10 already
equipped with the third rail. but has not been
operated regularly because the management
wished to get definite information from the ex-
pertinent on the line to this city. The company
also intends to extend the line out to Bristol and
Plainville. which are already connected by troll
ley lines with Hartford. These two manufac-
turing towns will soon have a connection with
this city by the third rail also.
This will make about twenty-five miles oper-
ated by this system. paralleled the entire
distance by trolley lines The motor cars
eventually will handle freight. The company has
recently purchased thirteen acres ofland in New
Britain to accommodate the increased freight
business to that city. where the road has been
crowded for room for some time. The equip
ment at the Berlin power house. which furnishes
the electricity for the whole line, has been in
creased by an auxiliary engine.
