CLOSED A FARM CROSSING.
Miner R. Knowlton Sues the Consoli.
 dated Road.

| Miner R. Knowlton Sues the Consoli- dated Road.
 Bridgeport, Dec. 20.-A suit to adjudi- cate the differences between Miner R. Knowlton and the New York, New
 Haven and Hartford Railroad company over so-called farm crossing in
 the town of Stratford, was on trial this afternoon before Judge G. w. Wheeler in the superior court. Attorneys Can field & Judson represent the plaintiff, and Stoddard & Bishop the railroad company.
 In 184S, when the New York and New Haven road was built, a right of way was deeded the company through the Booth farm by the original owner, the deed containing proviso that there should always be a crossing over the railroad in order that the connection between the divided farm property be continually maintained. The property ultimately passed into the hands of William A. Booth, and from one to
 another, until Miner R. Knowlton of New York bought the farm on the north side of the railroad. In order to have a right of way from the property to Stratford avenue on the south side of the railroad, he bought a strip of land forty-five feet wide from other
 owners through to Stratford avenue at point nearly opposite Avon park. For more than ten years MT. Knowl- ton used this farm crossing at certain
 periods of the year without interrup- tion by the Consolidated road. When the improvements were made in the town of Stratford by the railroad com pany, the tracks were elevated and the ! farm crossing was closed by a big em- bankment.
 MT Knowlton then brought a suit for trespass against the railroad con-
 pany for the purpose of adjusting the dispute. He claims that under the
 deed by which the road acquired a
 right of way through the land. they are obliged to keep crossing there.

NEW TROLLEYS.
Some of the Plans to be Considered at
 Hartford.

Some of the Plans to be Considered at
 Hartford.
 The number of printed petitions to the coming legislature for new trolley roads or extensions show trolley prof. ects on an unlocked for scale of magni- tude, equalling, if not surpassing, those before the last legislature, says Clar- ence Deming in the Evening Post. The present mileage of the trolley lines in the state is a little over 400 miles, and the projects set forth in the new peti- tions represent about 300 additional miles, of which about 140 miles, if built, would parallel steam roads. The pro- posed parallels are a new line from Hartford to New Britain, three lines from New Haven to Derby, two lines from Middletown to Hartford, and lines from Hartford to Winsted, from Nau- gatuck to Beacon Falls, from Ansonia to Seymour, from New Haven to Wall ingford, from Norwich to New London, and from Southington to Waterbury, Mount Carmel, Plainville, and through central streets of Meriden. At least eight of these schemes are sure to en- counter resistance from the New Haven Steam Railroad company, and another hard fought steam-trolley campaign in the legislature seems imminent. They are likely to be, however, as in the last legislature, division among the troll ley companies themselves, some of which, threatened by parallels, will join the steam interests in resisting them.
 
 necticut trolley company have each sent in petitions to build practically the same line of trolley parallel road.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
An Assassination Canard-Bnscless Re- port That the President of San Do- mingo Had Been Killed.


 mingo Had Been Killed
 Paris Dec, 20.-A dispatch received here from Cape Haytien said that 1t was rumored there this morning that President Heureaux of the republic of San Domingo had been assassinated while attending a christening incognito. Washington, Dec. 2O.-United States Minister Powell, at Port au Prince sent cable dispatch to the state department this afternoon stating that there was no truth in the rumor that President Heureaux of San Domingo had been assassinated, The dispatch had been preceded by one from the minister in- forming the department of the rumor. President Heureaux of San Domingo was at Nassau, New Providence, to- ward the end of October last on board a warship belonging to San Domingo. There he met a commission headed by Smith M. Weed, which went to Nassau on board the United States cruiser Charleston. The commission was not a governmental body, but is believed to have been organized in order to obtain control of the railroads of San Domin- go. If President HeureauX was mur- dered on his return from Nassau the crime it will be seen, must have been committed about seven or eight weeks ago, and it is not likely that the facts would have remained concealed all this time.
