THE LOCOMOTIVE HELPED.
Pulled Load for Team of Horses ilt
 Ansonia,


 The unusual sight of 6 locomotive as- sisting team of horses was noticed in Ansonia one morning this week. One of the heavily loaded trucks of the Far- rel Foundry and Machine company was being driven over the place where an old we'll had been filled up. The load was so heavy that it cut down into the soft earth, where the filling was done Monday, so the team was unable to pull it out.
 There was locomotive on the siding near by and a chain was fastened to the end of the pole of the truck and then to the engine The word was given, the engine started slowly and the load was drawn onto hard ground with out any exertion on the part of the horses

London, April 4-General Colville and
 General French have given up the movement against the Boers east of Bloemfontein, and have rejoined the main army. It doubtless seemed to Lord Roberts vain thing to send from ten thousand to twelve thousand of his best troops into the wilderness, with a field transport, in the direction of a right angle with his chosen line of ad- vance. The Boers have probably moved elsewhere, and, if to the southwest. General Colvile could as easily strike them from Bloemfontein as by follow ing them up across the plains.
 These differences still leave the situa- tion bewildering for the time being. The enormously superior British forces appear inactive in every part of the war field, waiting yet, probably for the accumulat ation of material, for a swift advance on the Transvaal frontier. The London military commentators and the puDllC, LOO, LO some eXLeHL dTt lITlIdttu and confused by the situation.
 A further list of the casualties sus- tained by the British officers at Kroon Spruit on March 31 adds eleven missing and one wounded, making the total thus far thirty-two.
 The permanent bridge at the MOdder river station has been finished. The first train passed over it Tuesday
 The British garrison at Springfontein was reused at midnight on Monday by the information that the Boers in force were about to make an attack, but not burgher appeared.
 Details received of the scenes on Green Market Square, Cape Town, on Tuesday, when Premier Schreiner en- countered an English demonstration, show that the premier, fearing personal violence, sought refuge in a restaurant. He was hooted and tried to reach Par liament house protected by police. The people shouted "Traitor!" but he suc- ceeded in reaching the house. Finally, on the people again singing God Save the Queen he raised his hat amid cheers, and was heard to say, Reserve your Judgment
 Lord Roberts did not meet his wife at Cape Town. She will proceed to Bloem- fontein.

SUIT AGAINST CoNsoL1DATED

Three suits against the Consolidated railroad were returned to the superior court at Springfield Tuesday. These are brought by parties living in Mid dletown. Charles Closson of Middle town brought suit for S25,0O0. The plaintiff alleges that he was injured at the Miller street crossing in Middle town. The planking at the crossing was out of repair, he claims, and he caught his foot between this and the rail. and before he could eXtricate him self a train passed over his foot thereby crushing it and making it necessary to have it amputated.
 Peter Tuchko of Middletown sues the same corporation for $4,000. He alleg- es that while crossing the railroad tracks near Easthampton, the team he was driving was struck by an engine and he was brown out of the wagon and injured
 Roger Kennedy of Middletown wants &. 900 from the same corporation for damages to his horse and wagon, the team being the same which Tuchko was driving.

EAST HAVEN DRAWBRIDGE MAT

EAST HAVEN DRAWBRIDGE MAT TER
 Major Leachs Report Just Made IS
 Said to Favor the Bridge.
 Major Smith s. Leach, the United States engineer in charge of the Long Island division, has forwarded his re- port to Chief Wilson of the engineer corps at Washington with reference to the proposition that a drawbridge be erected between Branford and East Haven over the Stony river. The re- port is practically the same as was made by Engineer Leach the last time when he found that the dike and bridge now in the river are obstruc- tions to navigation. The engineers re- port was sent to Washington a few days ago and yesterday several citizens of East Haven who are strongly opposed to the building of the bridge, wrote to Con gressman Sperry asking him to lnrorm Them of the contents of Engineer Leach s report. Il, ceiyed conference of the taxpayers of Branford and East Haven will probably be held and q plain of action determined upon Attorneys will probably be sent to wash ington to appear before Chief Engineer Wilson who must pass on Major Leach's report before it is submitted to the war department.
 Should the dike, which Is considered to be an obstruction to navigation by Major Leach, be removed, 1t Is alleged by those who oppose the building of Il draWbrdge that about 300 acres of valuable meadow land would be rendered useless; Part of the land is in East Haven and part in Branford The owners of this land will join in the protest against the building of draWbridge.

COTTON SCORES ANOTHER DECLINE The Bears Run the Bulls
 to Cover PRICES 60 OFF 38 POINTS Liverpool Cables Were Unfavorable and the Market Was Without Support
 The Tones Were Nervous T.
 and the Close Dull
PRICES 60 OFF 38 POINTS

New York, October 15.-The bears in cot ton today left no stone unturned in an ef fort to stamp out all signs of bulls SUI premacy which had obtained for a pro tracted period until last weeks reserves caused extensive assertions from the bull camp. The trade quite generally had an tctpated a higher Liverpool market today and expected to see turn for the better here. But the English news was fully as unfavorable as that received Saturday, with private cables that sentiment abroad had become intensely bearish. Our market fell by the Liverpool break with drop of 6 to 20 points on the call, the loss later be- ing increased 35 to 5S points under irresst- ible pressure of long stuff, and heavy sales Tor special account whenever the market showed the least symptoms of reaction.
 Europe was leader in the local selling, though Southern interests were not far be- hind. The public hurriedly unloaded cot ton accumulated last week on the idea that the market was entitled to a reaction. Not until after midday was there the least in- dication of lull in the selling movement or change in the trend of the fucua- tions. By ? p m. the advance from bottom quotations was less than 10 points with parties having profits in sight about the only buyers. The late market was nervous and with prices down to the lowest of the day.
 The factors which led to the break abroad and here consisted of heavy receipts at all points, enormous export clearances, a de- cline in Southern spot markets of ls to h cents Reports that magnificent weather was causing cotton to mature had not been expected. Statistics from all quarters were bearish and the attitude of holders in the South was the reverse of what it has been since the season opened while exports seemed to have lost all their fears of cotton famine in Europe and natly refused to buy except at emphatic price conces- sonS.
 Official estimates for continued large re- ceipts and predictions from Washington for unchanged weather conditions during the next 36 hours tended to check buying late in the day. The market closed weak at net loss of 8 to 3S points.

 New Orleans. October 15.-Liverpool was unfavoraIbly affected by the estimate of MT. Buston, who places the crop now being marketed at ten and a quarter million bales which estimate is subject to an n- crease with a late frost. The movement of the crop to the country's outports is assuming ponderous proportions re- ceipts at all ports for the day footing up s0,2S7 ~. inst 59, 340 last year and s2,734 for year before. The movement in interior towns is also running free at Memphis and Houston, points of distribution, and which were falling behind last year up to within a few days ago, outdoing last year. The sharp break of 3-16d in spots in Liverpool today disturbed American holders of spot ctton on this side; the interior was offering cheaper. and factors were eager sellers at
