Good Butter Record by a Cow.

Charles r. Keeney of North Main
street, Manchester, feels enthusiastic
over the success of the COW he recently
sold to the trustees of the Storrs Agri-
cultural college. The trustees decided
to purchase herd of four Jerseys and
four Guernseys for experimental pur-
poses and County Commissioners Potter
and c. L. futile of Hartford, Jersey
cattle experts, were appointed by the
trustees to select the Jersey herd. They
selected one each from the herds of
Congressman Henry, Silas w. Robins of
Wethersfield, Richard Emo of Simsbury,
and Copper Queen, purchased from Mr..
Keeney, made the fourth of the herd.
The Jersey herd and the Guernsey herd
were given six months test as butter
producers, and the production of butter
by Mr.. Keeney's COWS was far ahead of
any of the others. She gave 5,941
pounds of milk during the six months
and produced 1864 pounds of butter, or
about two pounds a day. The COWS
were not forced at all and the record
was without any special effort to have
the cows make record.
The best record in the Guernsey herd
was by Cora. She produced 1888
pounds of milk which made 29O pounds
of butter. Mr.. Keeney has heller
from the COW that he prizes highly.

Railroad improvements.

The Consolidated railroad has ordered
ten locomotives Of the Schenectady Lo~
connective Works, and it is expected the
first of the invoice will be delivered IN
this city early in February. They are
to be mogul freight engines, six drivers
and capable of hauling As cars. These
engines are not as heavy as the COM
pound locomotives, which haul so load
ed cars, but with this exception the mo-
guls are the heaviest on the road. They
cost about 100000 in round numbers
for the whole invoice.
Work was begun on the 300 coal cars
ordered of two of the car construction
companies in Massachusetts. The en-
tire cost will be from 900 to $3.50, 900.
1t is expected that the entire lot will be
in New Haven by spring.
Four hundred dump cars, formerly
used in hauling coal, have been sent to
the Old Colony system. where they are
used chiefly on the Providence and
Worceser division.

A GIGANTIC sen EME.
Edison's Project to Crush Iron Ore at
Falls Village,


Up in the Berkshire Hills, in the vicin-.
ity Of Falls Village and New Milford,
considerable talk has been caused by
the report, published in the Day yester-
day. that ]. Pierpont Morgan and
Thomas Edison, the wizard, have inter
ested themselves in a gigantic scheme
to use the water power of the HouSa-
tonic river.
1t is rumored that the capitalists have
purchased extensive water privileges,
and will erect big plants for working
the new ore separators. There is much
iron ore in the vicinity of Falls Village,
but heretofore the working of it has not
been profitable. BY the new process the
ore is ground into sand and the iron
sorted out by huge magnets. Then the
ore is pressed into bricks and prepared
for the furnace.
1t is reported from Falls Village that
the movement promises to be a COM
plete success, and that when the final
arrangements are made it will give en-
ployment to a large number of working
men. 1t means boom for Falls Village
if the plan is carried out, and people in
terested are of the opinion that such
men as Morgan and Edison would not
take hold of the enterprise unless a
thorough test had been made.
The movement of Messrs. Morgan and
Edison has given rise to discussion of a
project which originated in the mind of
Nicholas Staub Of New Milford, for
mer state comptroller. About five
years ago Mr.. Staub secured charter,
after much opposition, for the construc-
ton of dam at GAINESVILLE, just below
the factory of the Bridgeport Wood Fin
ishing company.
Later on it is said that Mr.. Staub Sc
cured an option upon certain water
rights at Bulls Bridge, and also the
Falls Village conipany's works, which
at the present time have fallen into the
hands q. Messrs. Morgan and Edison.
1t wGs reported at the time the OPP
lions were secured that Staub had in
terested number of New York men in
the scheme to utilize the water power
of the Housatonic river to run big
plant, which in turn would supply all
the towns along the river with motive
and lighting power.
OF late but little has been heard of the
big project, and it has been given out on
the quiet that the scheme had been
abandoned because intending investors
had made Investigations and the engi-
neers had reported that the supply of
water was not as great as anticipated,
especially during the winter season.
Some engineers, it is said. pronounced
the scheme unfeasible. The latest
movement gives some color of truth to

The Coming Athletic Show.

What promises to be the best bout
ever seen in Connecticut is the one be-
tween Jack Coston Of this city and Dan
Murphy of Waterbury, who will box
twenty rounds for the championship of
the state. This is the first champion
ship battle that has ever taken place
in Connecticut and the men will have
no excuse to Offer for they are training
faithfully and will be in tip-top condi-
ton on the 18th day of January. This
bout takes place at the Hyperion the
alter under the auspices of the Franklin
Athletic club and is for purse of $500,
$500 to the winner and $100 to the loser;
and as the winners end will keep eth
err of the men on easy street for the rest
of the winter they will try very hard to
get the longest end Of the purse.
Jack Ward, who is matched to meet
George Munroe ten rounds at liz
pounds, writes to Al Woods that he
will be in the pink of condition and
wants Munroe to be in good shape, so
that the best man will win. Charlie
Kelly, who is to meet Jim Garfield, will
arrive in the city about Tuesday and
will train in this city for his go. Sam
Austin will be referee.

of giving up his law practice some
months ago, but it was not until the

prominent clergymen in this vicinity
during his time. One of his first
charges was the largest church in Lou

st. Stephens church, Pittsfeld; and
from there he went to Southport and
