ELECTRIC ROAD TO DERBY.
A Fruitless Meeting of Derby's Boar

4 Fruitless Meeting of Derby's Board
 Of Aldermen-Much Disappointment.
 Derby, Oct. 27.-Aldermen Sullivan and Conaty went out of the city hall on Saturday evening just as President Will Hams of the board of aldermen was about to call it to order, to open the hearing on the petition of the c. R. & L. Co. and the Fair Haven and West ville Co. for the laying of the electric road to the Orange town line, and as they did not come back the hearing was continued until the regular meet ing of the board, in November, which will be the seventh.
 This fiasco was a great disappoint- ment to those residents of the east side who had been cited to appear before the board and to the representatives of the companies who were present. The companies are anxious at this time to get some layout so that they can go ahead with the work of building the line. but they cannot make any move now until after the meeting of the board in November.
 There was large delegation of east side residents at the city court room at o'clock, the time for the hearing to begin. c. R. & L. Co. was represented by Attorney W. T. Hincks of Bridge port, assistant counsel, and Engineer Hill of New Haven, and the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Co. was represented by Engineer Punderford. Among the local officials present were City Engin- eer Brinsmade and Corporation Counsel Downs.
 The mayor at 9 o'clock announced that the meeting was hold-over for lack of a quorum.
 Engineer Punderford said that his company was exceedingly sorry. that the matter could not go on at once as the company had been working all sum- mer to complete it's track and through circumstances over which it had no con- trol the work had been set back this far. His company had spent $100,0 in grading the road and it now had $25,000 worth of rails on the way here which it would put down as soon as the thirty cars which were bringing ii reached New Haven. The company had hoped to get the road running before snow fell.
 It is proposed to give the people a 24-minute service, and expected to make the trip to New Haven in forty minutes The fare would be fifteen cents. He thought as the board had failed to get together then there was little hope oi the members being induced to come to- gether before election, although he sai6 he did not pretend to understand the political situation in this city. But he asked the mayor to arrange to call the meeting as soon after the election as possible.
 A Sentinel reporter asked Alderman Sullivan yesterday morning why he Jeff the city hall Saturday evening when the aldermen were supposed to meet. T had good reasons to leave" sait the alderman, "as my child was sick at home. I had been in New Haver since noon and did not go home or reaching Derby. My wife telephoneG to the city hall that the child was sick and I left"

FIRE IN DWIGHT HALL.

Can of Rubbish Blazes But Does No
 Damage-Fire Horse Fell.
 An alarm from box 24 was sent in last night at $50 for a fire in rub bish can on the first floor of Dwight hall. It was probably started by a cig- arette thrown in there by student.
 While rounding the corner at Church and Chapel streets on the way to the fire one of the horses of Engine 2 slipped and slid along the pavement for about ten feet The fore wheels of the heavy engine almost ran over the horse but he managed to get on his feet in a moment and started off for the fire as though nothing had happened. No har- ness was broken by the fall,

COFFEE FLYERS.
Can Be One if You Stick to 1t.

Can Be Cneif You Stick to 1t.
 The coffee habit is as injurious as other drug habits of the same nature. Don't think so? Well, dig in and see. The system craves a stimulant more and more until finally the victim wakes up.
 When we are as fortunate as MT. James D. Kimble, of Northampton, Mass, to realize that we have got to stop or the penalty will be severe, it is a little startling at first to consider. He says, q was an inveterate coffee drinker during twenty years of my life
 The first ten years I experienced no i'll effects from the coffee but it's insid- ious working brought forth a train of evils later on. I became very nervous and irritable, in fact felt all the time as if should fly to pieces.' My nerves . were all unstrung and I craved coffee as teper does liquor, in truth I was a coffee toper.'
 My appetite became very poor and solid food repugnant to the sight: dys- pepsia and Indigestion were my insepar- able companions and food did me but little good. About four years ago & friend advised me to try Postum Cereal Food Coffee I was loath to believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble therefore did not have much faith in Postum, nevertheless I commenced its use and from the very first I experi- enced decided benefit. My appetite returned, food began to taste natural and did me good. My nervousness gradually disappeared; the brain be- came clear, the loss of strength and flesh arrested and the stomach gradu- ally strengthened. Life seemed once more worth living and the continued use of Postun has not disappointed me- To me coffee proved slow poison. I have found Postum to be builder and sustainer of the system and I heartily recommend it to the slaves of coffee without a single reservation
 MT. Kimble mentions in his letter many of his friends in Northampton who have recovered health and strength from using Postum on his recommen- dation. . .A,.

BANK TELLER.

Boston, Feb. 1S.-Fred Moore, who
absconded fonr years ago with $50, DOC
belonging to the National Bank OF
Commerce, has arrived in New York,
surrendered himself and Chief Watts
has gone there after him.
Moore, it will be remembered, was
one of the tellers in the robbed bank,
and, when his thievery was discover
ed, got out of the country before he
could be arrested. 1t soon became
known that he was en- route for Chilli,
and two police inspectors were des-
patched at once, armed with warrants
for his arrest Lawyer Allin of Wat
ertown, went along too, ON Moore S
behalf, but by a different route, SO
we'll chosen that he won the IL, 600
mile race, and had Moores defence in
the extradition fight all ready when
the inspectors arrived.
After sturdy fight in the Chilean
courts Moore's extradition was refus-
ed. The officers returned empty hand
ed. The fight cost the bank a good
deal of money and embargo was de-
clared forever more on the teller.
Moore established himself at Val
paraiso as a photographer. His de-
voted wife abided with him, prefer
ring her fugitive husbands company
in his exile. Reports have reached
this city at different times stating
that Moore was prospecting and that
he and his wife had attained consid-
cradle social eminence.

The injury came some years ago i'll
connection with bicycle race, on the
Tunbridge fair grounds, in which
young Benedict took part, and was a
very severe one from which he is like
ly never to fully recover. 1t was held,
we believe, that the directors of the
fair were legally responsible for it and
that the lower courts so decided 1t.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court, which lately sustained the pre-
vious decisions. The damage award
ed was between two and three thou
sand dollars.

for time like that, not emitting OF
course an appeal to the pockets of the
guests for the benefit of the Methodist
ladies treasury. The day and the

eighty persons were present. A vote
of thanks was heartily given Miss
Woolcut, who could only wish, she
said, that her guests had enjoyed the
affair as greatly as she herself hao
done.
