FOR TROLLEY IN WOODBRIDGE.
Residents Say That a Road Would Be

Residents Say That a Road Would Be
Great Boom.
The last legislature granted a charter
to build trolley line from the terminus
Of the New Haven Street Railway at
the Pond Lilly mill, in Westville, to the
junction of the Woodbridge and Sey-
mour roads, distance of about three
miles. A strong effort was made to
build to Seymour, distance of about
ten miles from Westville, but the char
ter could not be secured.
1t is believed by some friends of the
proposed road that the attempt will be
renewed in the next legislature. Con-
siderable disappointment was expressed
by people living along the proposed line
when the petition for the charter failed
before the last legislature, as their
hearts were set upon the enterprise.
They came to the conclusion that the
project, was not dead, however, but
would be heard from again. .
Since the petition was summary
disposed Of so far as Woodbridge and
Seymour are concerned, there has been
created demand for the line to Wood
bridge really greater than before, in
view of the improvements in that town
during the past summer by a Mr. An
drews of Chicago, a well to do mer-
chant, who has expended nearly $4,000
on the John Peck place, in Woodbridge
and has resided there through the sum-
mer and will remain until 1t is time to
go south. Several other improvements
have been made and the old town is
really looking up.
A Woodbridge man stated, the Other
day, that if trolley line was in opera
ton to Woodbridge there would be ter
times the amount of building there has
been and the number of houses woulc
grow tenfold in a very short time. Al
ready goodly number of New Hayer
families reside in Woodbridge during
the summer, including the families o.
M. +. Tyler, Judge A. Heaton Robert
son, DR.. 7. H. Russell and E. P. Arvine
4 and it is believed that the number
K would increase rapidly if better sys
tenn Of communication was afforded.
Those interested in the Westville an(
Seymour line included T. H. Russell, E
P. Arvine. r. G. Newton and Dwight N
Clark. While the proposed compan!
is not likely to build the three-mile sec
ton from the Pond Lily mill to the Sey
mour road at present, the securing o
the charter is looked upon as a starter
The company is likely to go to the mex
legislature and make big fight In ia
vor Of their pet scheme and,if they arr
successful, 1t Is understood the line will
be built very soon afterward.
The line from Westville to Wood
bridge would be about five miles il
length, affording one of the finest sub
urban rides out of New Haven. Sew
eral years ago, project was started Il
build summer hotel on one OF the
highest Woodbridge hills. The schems
never materialized, but Of the trolley
road was built it would prove quite E
little inducement to carry out the hote
project. Friends of the Woodbridge
and Seymour trolley road have grea
faith in the next legislature. While OPP
position is to be expected, there is pros
pect that a big effort will be made tt
secure a charter for the new railroad

BIG PRAIRIE FIRE.

Four Hundred Square Miles of Terrific

Emma, Texas, Nov. ia prairie fire

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face. Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuious Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy hao
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. IL
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. MY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparllia
| the humor had all been driven out ol nia

Canoyas had at last yielded and in very
short time genuine reforms for Cuba
would be put in force as a means of end
ing the war.
But. alas! when they were made public
I saw thao one great man had trifed with
us as II we were children. I have already
explained in my article in the North
American Review the hollowness and
emptiness Oh the whole shadowy pretence
embodied Dy Senor CaDovas in the royal
decree OF February T. 1897. 1t deceived no
one. Certainly not the Oubans.
General Estrada Palma, in his notable
article Wh1ch appeared last Sunday morn
ing, laid bare the whole situation with
perfect accuracy, SO far as the value OF
the reforms actually offered to Cuba are
concerned; and in the Herald's telegram
from Havana this morning the statement
is made that: Leading members of the
autonomlst party here express surprise
and some indignation over the facs that
in all his speeches since his arrival ten
eral Blanco has made use of the woro re-
form instead of autonomy
ADVOCATES INTERVENTION.
In my former article I deliberately
ventured to assert that II am satisfied,
after careful investigation, that the ruling
Glasses in Spain, civil, clerical and mill
tary, are resolved, regardless Of party, to
refuse to make any such concessions to
their rebellious colonists as would meet
with their acceptance. cannot doubt
that any minister that dares to undertake
such perilous enterprise will be at once
disoredited and driven from office, and it
will be great weakness on our part to be
lnisIead by any false hopes and promises
in that regard"
Events in the near future will demon.
strate that am right on that point. or
course, If General Blanco had brought
with him anything like autonomy he
would have proclaimed it at once. His
effort, on the contrary, was to conceal the
fact that he was powerless to give any
such assurance.
In the light of these facts believe that
the Herald. In common with ali fair
minded men, will see how utterly un-
reasonable it is to call me 'siineo.n I
am just the reverse. My dear friend the
Duke OF Tetuan, late minister of state.
who escorted me to the train upon my de-
parture, gave me his portrait, with a
tender inscription, In memory Of nv con
tinuous efforts during stormy times to
Keep the peace. For that reason many
trembled to see me 90 away,
And now that this personal transaction
has been brought to light by Senior Sal
vani, who has the right to speak for Senior
CASTELAR, as well as himself, it appears
that In season and out of season, per-
sonally as well as officially, I was always
working to find way to end this cruel
Cuban war and to render unnecessary the
Intervention of the United States. I am
now the advocate of such intervention be-
cause Am satisfied that 1t is the only re
naming means by which peace in Cuba
can possibly be secured
