ABANDON FARM LINE.
Is Connecticut Western Considering a New Way 10 Spring field.
Hartford Post. Oct. 21.l

Hartford Post. Oct. 21.
 It is reported that the Connecticut Western road. which was prevented from getting straight route for the Tariffville extension through the Montague farm, and which has been considering the scheme of building a loop around the farm at the cost of several hundred thousand dollars, has about decided to abandon that scheme and will now build branch over to Windsor Locks, and from there to West Suffield, where it will connect with the line to Springfield.
 An agent, it is said, has been in the vicinity of Windsor Locks and has se- cured an option on all the land neces- sary for the line. except a few pieces, in East Granby.
 By going this way it will give the road the benefit of the freight carrying from the mills there. and in means a boom for Windsor Locks. The site for a station at Windsor Locks has been selected. The branch which will be utilized has been incorporated as the Granby < Suffield railroad.

JAIL PLANS SAVED.
They Came Near Being Put In the
Furnace.


What came very, very near being a
most serious mishap yesterday befell Slr.
w. N. Bowman. the representative of the
Stewart Iron Works, who is hoping to
secure for his company the building Of
the new city Jail.
Mr.. Bowman is stopping at Murphy's.
After good breakfast yesterday morn
ing he found some friends in the lobby
who were well freighted with two for a
quarter cigars, and the morning passed
rapidly. When he went to his room about
midday the plans and drawings for a
Jail, which he had been at work on for
weeks, and other papers, were nowhere
to be found. By mistake a dentists chair
had been taken to Mr.. Bowman's room
and unpacked The mistake was soon
discovered though. and the porters in
their strenuous zeal to remove all traces
of their blunders also removed all loose
papers in Mr.. Bowmans room. Among
them went the plans and drawings for
Richmond's jail ~ diligent search was
inausurated and Murphy's was ransack-
ed from cellar to roof. After half a day
of general stir and running to and fro,
the drawings We're found on the ash pile
in the boiler room As the Gay had been
a. mild one, special fuel had not been
needed and the plans for Richmonds Jail
were saved.
