AGAINST THE CONsoLIDATED.
Important Decision IN cennecticut on Trolley
Railroad Litigation.

"
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Jan. 25.-The Supreme
Court of this State has decided that the appeal
Of tho New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company from the decision of Judge
Wheeler OF the Superior Court in the matter of
the building of the Shelton Electric Railway
cannot be allowed. The work will now be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and be-
fore the summer is over this city and Ansonia
and other towns up the Naugatuck Valley will
be connected by trolley lines.
This attempt to parallel the system Of the Con-
solidated road has been fought moro bitterly
than my other. 1t has twice been in the Su-
preme Court. On the first hearing the CONSOLE
dated road secured n victory. Judge George
w. Wheeler then heard the case. and rendered
q decision against the trolley road. He laid
build must show It's financial ability to do so.
The Supreme Court sustained this opinion, Tho
or. and the street rail way company showed to
the Judges satisfaction that 1t was in good
financial condition and able to build the pro-
solidated road gave notice Of an appeal. assert
ing that Judge Wheeler had not found in ac-
cordance with the decision rendered by the Su-
preme Court on the previous hearing.
The steam railroad is beaten on a technical
point in taking the appeal. In giving notice OF
correct formula as to when and where the APP
peal was to BIO heard. namely: ITO the Supreme
court OF ErrOrS, AT ltS next SCSSlOn, 10 pe nOiuen
within and for the claim to have occurred in
tho trial Tuesday of January, 1893"
:. But when 1t came to making the actual ap-
peal. by q curious mistake the time and place Of
meeting of the Supreme Court was not given.
Whom the case came up for argument a week
ago counsel for the street railway filed a plea
OF abatement against the jurisdiction Of the
court. saying that the appeal Is fatally defec-
tive because 1t failed to give the term to which
tho appeal was taken and the time Of the meet
ing mentioned. Two decisions Of tho Supreme
Court Of recent date were quoted to sustain this
view.

New BEDFORD. Jan. 25.-The strike sltua-
tion remains unchanged. A committee of bust.
ness men met this afternoon to listen to a pro-
posal of the Rev. Matthew G. Julien for the
amusement and instruction of the strikers.
Money was forthcoming and Continuous per-
formances' will be given every day at the
north and south ends in the mill districts az
long as the strike continues. The idea is to
better preserve order by giving tho thousands Of
idlers pleasant surroundings. Every morn
ing the entertainment will begin, and practical
addresses on educational subjects will BIO sand
wiched In between songs and recitations, with
out intermission, day and evening. The poor
departemnt is overcrowded. Two agents Of the
State Board ooCharity are here working with
tho local force.
1t is noticeable that all Of the new appli-
cants who have appeared since the strike began
are well dressed. None of them make any de-
mand for clothing, the requests being con.
fined to food and fuel. The strike leaders say
they are encouraged by pledges of funds which
are pouring in by every mail. The weavers
this afternoon voted to send collectors to all tho
New England textile centres.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 25.-Thc spread Of
the strike at NJ. c. D. Borden's iron works mills
was the feature Of to.day's labor troubles here.
When this strike began it was regarded by
many as insignificant and would last only a
few days.
When the mills started this morning the 200
strikers from No. 4 mill gathered about the
gates and endeavored to prevail upon those of
the other mills to join them. Many were will
ing TO do SO, but they realized that uni ss they
acted as a body It would do them no good to
come out. They went to work, and during the
forenoon those In favor Of striking talked with
their, companions. At noon the strikers as
sombled again and they succeeded in bringing
the spinners of No. 8 mill into a meeting. The
latter:voted to resist. and ut l o'clock two Biills
were crippled and 400 spinners were ON strike.
A. committee of three representing the strikers
conferred with Superintendent Hathaway, VINO
asserted that the wage reduction aid not OK
coed II. 10 per cent. The spinners said that 1t
did. The strikers are confident now that in n
short time the spinncrs in Nos. ] and Q will join
them. superintendent Hathaway is quoted as
saying that II the strike becomes general the
mills will be operated until the supply Of filling
is exhausted. The entire plant will then DO
closed for an indefinite time.
At the King Philip mill there is no change
and at the HarRravcs the trouble is settled prac-
tically. A strike began to-day in the spinning
room Of tho Sycamore and half OF the mill is
of unrest is increasing, that the situation ia
graver than ever. The carders are grunbling
and other employees object to the rates of the
reduction. Ship meetings are held nightly and
@ general outbreak is not far distant.

Two injunction suits, meant to interfere with
the plans of the Brooklyn trolley companies for
operating their cars on the way to and from the
bridge, were begun yesterday. Hugh V. Roddy.
Jr.. one of the plaintiffs. is tho owner OF the lit
tie building in Washington street sandwiched
In between tho Post Office and the Columbia
Theatre. He alleges that the arrangements for
increased trolley traffic on Washington street,
consequent on the completion Of the bridge con.
n~ections. will still further longest tho traffic on
that thoroughfare and result In n depreciation
in the value Of his property. He asks for an in
junction against the Brooklyn Heights and the
De Kalb Avenue roads. forbidding any further
invasion of Washington street by the trolley.
Valentino Schmitt. the owner OF the Raines
law hotel In Fulton and High streets, Is the
plaintiff In the second case. His complaint is
that the bridge rapid transit scheme VIII cause
the De Kalb avenue cars to swing past his
corner In going uptown instead of as hitherto
going up Washington street, and that owing 10
the almost constant procession OF cars the lives
and limbs of pedestrians will BIO seriously I'M
perilled at his corner.
Justice Maddox OF the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn. before whom tho papers were laid
late yesterday afternoon, issued an order direct
ing the defendants to show cause on Jan. %
why IN Injunction should not be granted.

Of severe snowstorms began hero which are still
raging with undated 1erceness. A gale from
tho northeas. drove the Arctic loo foos toward
tho land. blocking the whole northern coast.
The mail steamer Virginia, which was sent north
by the Government with relief for destitute
fishermen. had to abandon the enterprise and re-
turn here, fearing an enjoyment which would
keen her icebound tho whole winter. For the
same reason the scaling steamers Iceland.
Greenland. and Vanguard had to leave Harbor
Grace on Sunday and run to st. Johns.
On Sunday night tho damaged tramp steamer
Pictou forced her way in here for repairs, driv.
ing through strings of ice extending $50 miles
Oft the coast. The steamer Portia, with q gem
eral cargo for New York, scheduled to sail on
Saturday night, and tho steamer Parkmore.
also ready to sail, cannot leave their piers. The
harbor is solidly blocked with heavy ice, so that
citizens arc crossing all tho time. The Their.
mometor has been 10 below zero the whole
period. The ofing Is filled with ice as far
as the eye can see. The steamer Grand
Lake, specially built for river navigation,
tried to sail from Halifax last night, but was
enmeshed in the foeotwo miles OF the harbor,
and 1t is doubtful when she will get clear. Ton
or twelve sailing craft are laden with Goldfish
ready to start for Europe and Brazil. but they
cannot move. Goldfish never brought q higher
price than to-day. and tho detention may prove
q serious loss to tho owners.
Tho continuance of the blizzard has been pro.
duotive of much restitution among the poorer
classes. Tho railroads arc blocked and the roads
are impossible. business is at a standstill. 1t
is feared that the American herring feet at Pla.
centia Bay and the fishing schooners on tho
Grand Banks will suffer severely.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-Lyman J. Gage, Sec
Rotary Of tho Treasury, spoke at tho annual
meeting OF the Philadelphia Trades League In
the Academy Of Music tonight. After mem
tioninR several evidences Of prosperity he
turned his attention to reform In the currency.
On this head he proposed;
First, to commit the country more thorough
~ to the gold standard, and remove as far as
possible doubts and fears on that point. and thus
strengthen the credit of the United States both
at homo and abroad.
Second, to strengthen the Treasury In rela-
tion to its demand liabilities, In which are In
oluded greonbacks, Treasury notes. and the In
cidcntal obligation to maintain on q parity,
through interchangeability with gold. so far 40
may DO necessary. the present large volume Of
silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third. to do this in such a way as not to con-
tract the volume Of circulation in the hands OF
the people.
Fourth, to take an initial step toward a sys.
tenn Of bank noto issues without the conditional
deposit OF public bonds az security therefor"
With regard to the first proposition Mr.. Gage
said that IL Benton and jackson were right In
tho estimate of the value Of gold rs the work
ing standard In the United States. then we
are justified In guarding 1t against q
downfall. The second proposition he con-
sidered laudablo IL the Treasury needs
strengthening in these directions. and as
regards this there is little or no difference
of opinion among men Of Judgment asd export
once both at homo and abroad. Mr.. Gage held
that common sense dictates that we guard the
third proposition, and In respect to the fourth
he held that. II we prosper rs q people. the
