IMPROVING IT'S SERVICE.

Inc southern railway, which has be-
come one of the most popular tourist
and commercial lines in the country
because of its superb service, splendid
equipment and fast time, has just added
two new dining cars to the equipment
of the popular Washington and
Southwestern Limited"
This is one of the most famous trains
in this country, carrying as it does
through Pullman drawing -room, sleep
ing cars and library, observation and
dining cars between New York, Wash
ington and New Orleans, Mobile, Bir
mingham, Memphis, Knoxville, Chatta-
nooga and Nashville, Tenn. Ashevlle,
N, c., and all the chief cities of the
South These new dining cars are in
keeping with the thoroughly high class
equipment of this and other trains of
the Southern railway, being quite sim
liar to the beautiful diners operated on
the Congressional Limited of the
Pennsylvania railroad between New
York and Washington.
Their interior is magnificenfly fin
ished in hard woods and each table is
furnished with chairs instead of the old
ldSHOHeu lulleu seats, J. ne CHlld,
glassware and silverware are of the
most modern pattern and exceedingly
attractive, while the cuisine will even
surpass the high standard previously
maintained in the cars of this COM
pany Both the northern and southern
marekts are drawn upon literally for
the delicacies as well as the substan-
tials of each section.
THE Washington and Southwestern
Limited leaves New York daily at 425
p. m. and Washington at f045 p. M,
and the dining cars are operated be-
tween Greensboro, N c., and Montgom-
cry, Ala, furnishing breakfast, dinner
and supper the train arriving at New
Orleans and other cities in time for early
breakfast the next morning
With the added attraction of these
new diners, this train, which has long
been the fayorite of travellers between
the North and South, will become even
more popular as in its entirety it is the
most perfectly equipped train operated
between New York and the Southwest.

C. c. Foster, Hampton High School,

most noteworthy schools in eastern
connecticut. AT the first reunion, held
October 12 1898, there were 80 of the
old pupils present, out of about go and

WHITE LETTER BOXES.
They are to be Adopted In Water
bury.

New Haven is exultant over it's gray
white letter boxes, and Waterbury may
be happy too. The Waterbury Repub-
lican says:
Postmaster Guernsey is anticipating
visit from John E. Halter of Phila-
delphia, who has a contract to paint
the Letter boxes in every city of the
United States, New Haven and
Bridgeport have already been visited,
and it is expected that Waterbury will
also have the white letter boxes which
denote that Mr.. Haller has been around.
The boxes in this city as well as
everywhere else will be painted with
aluminium and will be lettered in red.
The post office department has abol-
ished all other colors for letter boxes
and the aluminium will be used in the
future
Mr., Haller has a process for painting
the boxes, which is his own, and with
which the officials of the post office
department are favorably impressed.
After sizing the Letter boxes he applies
the aluminium powder dry. In five
minutes the powder sets and cannot be
damaged by rain. He always has an
assistant and sometimes three or four
to prepare the boxes, but he alone
knows the secret(of the mixture.
This preparation and the aluminium
color is thought to be a great improve
ment over the old red paint which
is apt to make confusion owing to their
resemblance to the fire alarm boxes in
many cities. The new color makes the
box look very much as though they
We're made of aluminium.
The raised letters on the boxes are
topped with a dark red paint and the
entire effect is quite attractive as well
as exceedingly durable

prIcrs for Lnnnl SIncISs aud Bonds.

Prices for Local Stocks and Bonds.
The talk about the resignation of
Charles p Clark as president of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company has little effect upon
the price of its stock or bonds. The
stock sold yesterday at PIC H. and the
dabentures are quoted at 1SS to 1879 and
very few offered for sale at any price.
All the non taxable securities are in
demand at this time, so that capital
will not have to go into the tax list
next month, and for the same reason
this class of securities are scarce and
high in price Southern New England
Telephone is 1S1 bid; SO has been bid
for New Haven Gas Light company;
112 12 for New Haven Water company.
Diamond Match company sold at 13l
to 1872; the new stock is ready for de-
livery.
Boston Electric Light company, pay
ing only per cent, is quoted at us
to 1870, the high price being caused by
expectation of new stock privileges. Ii
the gas commissioners of Massachusetts
should decide that that company should
offer the new stock to the present stock
holders at say 175 instead of par, the
rights would be worth little or moth
ing.

once Owens, who was completely ex-
hausted, fell over into the sea and was
washed away by the waves. Pike
managed to keep his hold, and was
rescued about $50 by a fisherman,
George II. Wells. Pike, being uncon-
scious, was taken into a house on the
shore, where he was cared for by ply
sicians Thomas Owens, brother of the

his brothers body. The dead man was
81 years old and at one time kept a

DESIGNATION OF PRES. CLARK.
rendered Mt Meeting of Consolidated
Road Directors saturday.

AT a meeting of the board of directors
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company in New
York Saturday afternoon, President
Charles p. Clark handed in his resg-
nation as president of the road The
communication was referred to the
standing committee to consider and
make recommendation concerning 1t at
a future meeting of the board of direc-
tors.
The first business transacted after the
meeting was called to order was to pass
resolutions of regret on the death of
Cornelius Vanderbilt. President Clarks
resignation was handed in after these
resolution were passed. 1t is under
stood that President Clark stated that
he desired to have the resignation take
effect by the close of the present year,
although he did not desire to have it
take effect until the directors had time
to choose his successor. 1t is under
stood that the resignation will be con-
sidered at a meeting of a standing com.
mittee to be held sometime within two
weeks There is q strong probability
that the committee will endeavor to in
duce President Clark to reconsider his
resignation, but in case efforts in this
direction are unavailing it is probable
that he will be asked to continue in
office until January l next. The stand
ing committee consists of the following
gentlemen: Charles p Clark, Judge
John NJ. Hall and Prof George j.
Brush of New Haven, William Rookie
Teller and j. Pierpont Morgan of New
York, Charles f. Choate of Boston,
Henry C. Robinson of Hartford and W.
D. Bishop of Bridgeport
