forfeited his bond. IL was understood
that the company bore the loss.
Hamilton, acting under advice and bear
ing = letter TO minc-owncr I'm Denver,
Col. went to that city and tried to get
work. II failed.
According 10 the story that he has
written to his friends at home he re-
ceivcd money from the trolley company.
About the time the last damage suit
had been settled with families OF victims
OF the disaster. Hamilton says, his re-
mittances from the company ceased.
Hamilton had by this time ged
10 get work. bat was SO haunted by the
horror of the accident that he could not
keep from talking about SC and was dis
charged.
Every time HIS identity became known
he waA discharged. Several times he has

Things went along happily after the
wedding until the two girls returned from

competition between these two rival COM
panies, or not. There is not much doubt
what the answer Will be
The Union Railroad Is desirous OF run
ming ttg cars, whether loaded with freight
or otherwise. I'm any place where their
franchise permits, and without the In
tervention OF any outside force.
II claims that should the Consolidated
road have it's way and restrict them
within the city limits man wishing to
carry goods directly on the Union road s
line but a quarter OF a mile beyond tho
city limits. would have 10 convey his
freight by whatever means he could pro-
cure, into the city. where he then could
load IL on to the car.
The Union railroad wishes 10 prevent
any such thing as this occurring, IL
says through Manager Potter by being
allowed 10 carry the freight from any OF
the suburban towns where their lines
may run 10.
The city will be the gamer by II, says
Mr. Potter, the company will be
forced 90 pay a revenue whether the
freight Is carried in the city limits or in
the outlying districts.
But should the restriction be placed and
the electric road confined 10 the city. then
the Golfers OF the city treasurer Will lose
this much needed revenue, and while
city, manufacturer and public Will be the
loser, the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad alone Will be the
gamer.
