Another Spanish-Ameriean War Vet
eran Answers Last Bugle Call.

Announcement was made late We'd
nesday afternoon of the death of Her
man 0. Miller, which came like an
electric shock to his numerous friends,
for very few knew that he had been
ailing. Up to a week previous he had
enjoyed perfect health, but one day was
stricken with pneumonia, and since
that time had been confined to his home
on Grand avenue, and had gradually
grew worse until his sufferings We're
relieved by the visitation of Death. De
ceased was born in this city April 18th,
1873, and gained common school edu-
cation in the public schools of Wausau
In 1894 he enlisted as a member OF Com
pany q and served until the spring of
'98, when he volunteered his services in
the Spanish-American war. After leav-
ing this city, and while in camp at
Chicamauga, he was promoted to cor
pOral of the company, and while in
Porto Rico he was made sergeant.
While on that island he made good
record as a soldier.
Near Barros was band of guerillas
and Mr.. Miller was detailed with
squad of men to capture a block house
held by them, which he did, capturing
a number of the Spaniards A Spanish
flag now hanging in the armory was
torn from this block house by deceased,
When the company returned from
Porto Rico, Adjutant Holway made him
regImental quartermaster of the Third
regiment, which office he still held at
the time of his demise.
After returning to this city he worked
at his trade, that of plumber, and only
a few weeks ago started in business for
himself, and was on the road to success
when his summons came.
Herman Miller was a young man of
industrious habits, generous to Il fault,
and his gentlemanly manners caused
him to be a general favorite with his
acquaintances Besides wife, deceased
leaves his parents, Mr.. and Mrs Her
man Miller, and several brothers and
sisters.
The funeral took place Saturday
morning The remains, which had lain
in state at the armory since the after
noon preceding, were escorted to st.
Mary'S Catholic church by his late com
RAIDS and from there to the grave. The
funeral procession was headed by the
Fourth Regiment Band, followed by
about forty members of Company q,
and about the same number of ex-mem-
bers, the balance of the procession be-
ing made up of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The pall-bearers were old

HOW TO MARK YOUR BALLOTS.

The following letter, which explains
itself, was received by the county clerk:
To the County Clerks:
Since sending you the sample ballot,
my attention has been called to an APP
parent conflict in the law; between the
section prescribing the form of the
ballot and the section asto how it shall
be marked. The form sent you is in
strict conformity to the section relative
to how it shall be made, but the statutes
are so conflicting in reference to the
marking Uf it, that after consulting
with the attorney general, it has been
deemed best TO change the instructions
at the top of the ballot to the follow
ing:
Make a cross (X) in the square under
the name of each candidate for whom
you desire to vote, if it be there, or
write any name you wish to vote for in
the proper place"
You will please act accordingly and
in printing your ballots substitute the
above for that on the printed form.
Very truly yours,
VIM. II. FROEHLICH,
Secretary of State.
Have your watches and clocks re-
paired by Otto Mueller, jeweler, Paff
block Sd street All work warranted.

CONSOLIDATED" EARNINGS.
Probabilities That Quarterly Report

Probab1lltieS mat quarterly Report
Will Show Satisfactory Results.
1t is understood by those interested,
that the quarterly report of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road company, which will be submitted
at the next monthly meeting Of the
board of directors, will show very sat
isfactory returns in the line of freight
earnings. 1t is said that while it is not
certain that the total will be in excess
of the earnings for the December
quarter or the corresponding quarters
in 1900, they will show for the months
Of February and March a marked in
crease over the same months in 1900
This is alleged to be the result of the
new departure of the road in handling
western export freight and the new
policy inaugurated by Percy II. Todd,
the new second vice president and
freight traffic manager. Considerable
of the new class of business is handled
over the Highland division, via New
burgh and Fishkill Landing.
The w. T. Hart, the transfer boat
between those points, transports an
average OF 600 cars per day. Vice
President Merrill is quoted as saying
that the facilities at Fishkill Landing
will be further improved by laying a
little additional track, which will en-
able the road to take care Of all the
business coming and going that way
for some time The Highland division
is now handling large quantity Of
western beef for export.

W4LLINGFORD.

| There was quite a little excitement
| at the depot at 6.19 last evening. The
| accommodation train from Hartford
was just coming to a stop in the sta
ton, when the 6:10 express from New
York, about ten minutes ate, went
| through the station at full speed be-
| tween the train and the depot, causing
CONSERVATION among the many who
were preparing to board the train for
New Haven. There were several mar
| row escapes. The railroad flagman was
at the south crossing and waved red
flag for some time before the express
got near the station. When the engi-
neer on the down train saw that the
express was not going to stop he start
ed up his train, thereby probably saw
ing many lives, as the passengers who
were getting ready to stop off stayed
on the train. The presence Of mind Of
only for the train starting up they
would have been caught by the ex-
press. The express train slowed up af-
ter passing the station. What the rea-
son was that the engineer Of the eX-
press did not hold up for the danger
signal and broke the rules of the COM
pany by going between train in the
station and the depot is not known, but
it is supposed that the air brakes failed
to work and he could not stop the train.
How the many at the depot escaped in
jury is a mystery, as all expected that
the express would stop before reaching
the depot.

TO GET AROUND CIVIL SERVICE.
Proposed Amendments to the New
Haven Charter

Proposed Amendments to the New
Haven Charter.
A number of New Haven politicians
interested In the repeal Of certain feat
ures OF the civil service law in the
New Haven city charter and who desire
to arrange matters SO that the present
director of public works and other pres
ent employees OF that department shall
go out Of office on June / next have
drafted a bill for proposed act to
amend the New Haven city charter to
provide for the change. The time limit

but the bill has been presented to the
committee on cities and boroughs as an
amendment to the bill now before that
committee providing for change of time
of holding the New Haven city cleo

the bill tomorrow The bill provides
that the charter shall be amended so
that the present director Of public
works shall go out of soffice in June,
and that during the month of June and

strike out from the present charter the
provision which requires that the di-
rector of public works shall devote his
entire time to the service of the city,
and that he shall have no other occu-
patton during his term of office. II al
so provides that the term of office of
members of the board of charities and

director of public works may appoint
not more than three assistant superin-
Iendents of streets at salaries not to ex-
coed $500 per month, and who may be
removed at will by the director, and
that the mayor, instead of the corpora
ton counsel, shall appoint the assist
ant corporation counsel.
