NEW CATHOLIC ORDER.

Sisters of the Good Shepherd to Look
 After Wayward Girls.
 Hartford, May 9.-A community of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd is to be established in Hartford within q few days. Bishop Tierney yesterday closed the deal for the purchase of the Thomas Sisson estate on Sisson ave- nue for the use of the order for a House of the Good Shepherd. The estate, consisting of twenty acres, will be turned over the sisters at once and as soon as the house can be reno- vated the sisters will take possession. Those coming here will come from the mother house at Brooklyn, N. Y. This will be the first establishment of this order in the diocese. The principal work of the sisters of this order is the looking after of wayward girls. Wher- ever established the order has done splendid work and has reclaimed many young girls. Tn Brooklyn and Manhattan the work has had the in dorsement of those outside the Roman Catholic church, as it has been so practical and successful.

CONFERENCE TONIGHT,
About Approving Plans to Lay Tracks
 Under Oakville Bridge.

About Approving Plans to Lay Tracks
 Under Oakville Bridge.
 The board of public works will have a conference tonight with representa- tiyes of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go regarding the company's application for approval of it's plans to lay tracks under the bridge at Oak vile. Colonel Burpee, counsel for the company, stated before the board of aldermen that the conditions now existing at the bridge are such that tracks should not be laid there per- manently. It is understood that the city officials and the public take this View of the situation, too, so that for once the company and everybody else appear to be of one mind. The com- pany IS of the opinion that if it can get permission to fight the Consolidat- ed road in the name of the city it can compel the road to remove the abut- ments which are said to be in the high way. If this can be done then the tracks could be changed to suit the new order of things. Some people think it would be a good plan to allow the traction company to go through there pending action on the question in the courts, provided they are will ing to put up a bond that in case they fail to force the Consolidated road to widen the street that they will do the work at their own expense Others take the ground that the tracks should not be laid until the street is widened. Judging by what can be heard on the matter it looks as if the company can get permission to build the road if it wants to assure the city that the abut- ments shall be removed, either by themselves or the Consolidated road. Unless some such arrangement as this can be made before anything is done towards laying the tracks it is believed that the expense will have to be met by the taxpayers later.

HEAVIER AFTER DEATH.
Body of Judge Elmer S. Bundy Shows
 Great Increase.

Body of Judge Elmer S. Bundy Shows
 Great Increase
 New York, May 9.-For some time there has been speculation as to whether the body of Judge Elmer s. Bundy, who was a United States cir cult court judge, was petrified. Though at the time of his death, five years ago, the judge weighed only a little more than one hundred pounds, it took six or seven to handle the cof- fin recently at the Morayian cemetery, where the body is now in the receiv- ing vault, awaiting re-burial. The present weight is said to be more than five hundred pounds. There is nc doubt that the body has undergone marked and curious changes, and the fact has attracted the attention of em. balmers.
 Friends of the late Judge Bundy re- call that he had a theory that if one lived almost entirely outdoors the body would become enduring and moi subject to the usual changes. He used to spend much of his time in the open air and generally went without a hat

TAKING $50 TO THE BANK.
When He Went to Deposit, the Money
 and Bank Book Was Gone.

When He Went to Deposit, the Money
 and Bank Book Was Gone.
 H. c. yanderburg. who conducts a jewelry store at 63 East Main street, lost $50 this morning while on the way from his store to the Manufacturers bank. MT Vanderburg put five ten dollar bills in his bank book, secured 1t with rubber band, then put the book in one of the outside pockets of his coat, mounted his wheel, rode to the postofice building, left his silent steed standing against the curbing while he rushed into the postoffice and purchased some stamps; then re- turned to it and took a spin through Exchange place to the bank. AS he walked toward the receiving clerks window he thrust his hand into his pocket but could find nothing in it. He immediately went back over the ground he had travelled from the time he left the store but failed to hear or see anything of the book or money Then he reported the case to the police and the detectives started out to see what they could do for him. MT Vanderburg does not know whether the book fell out of his pocket or was snatched by some one while he was at the postoffice. The wind was blowing so that if the book dropped onto the street it must have been whirled about like feather and it would be hard to tell where it stopped. But if it dis appeared in this way, Mir Vanderburg may recover his loss. His name was on the book so that in case an honest person finds it lie will know what to do with it. But if it was picked out of the mans pocket whoever did it will not make much bones about making his own of the five ten dollar bills and throwing tie book over his shoulder.

ton to q convention to be called up
on the application of the legislatures
Of two-thirds of the states. The
states which have been heard from
thus far are Colorado, Michigan,

ACCIDENT AT A CROSSING.
4 Pennsylvania Passenger Train Crashes
Into the Rear Of m Exprsss from Gin
clnnati ut Chicago.


Chicago, Jan. l3.-A fast Penn
sylvania passenger train from New
York crashed into the rear Of an
other express from Cincinnati on the
same system last night at the Balti-
more a. Ohio railroad crossing near
Forty-ninth street and Wentworth
avenue. Two men, both train at
taches, were seriously and perhaps
fatally injured and although the pas
sengers on both trains were severely
shaken up, no serious injuries were
suffered. A possibly large loss of
life was prevented by the fact that
ut the rear of the forward train was
the empty dining car Delmonico. The
locomotive of the rear train plowed
its way half the length of this car.
The cook, Robert Hatcher, was
caught in the wreck and was terribly
burned by the fire which caught
from the overturned stove in the
kitchen. He probably will not re-
cover. The other injured man was
John Tuberdy, who jumped from the
rear engine. He was badly cut and
received internal injuries. William
Wallace, engineer, jumped and es-
capped with slight bruises. No reason
is given for Wallace's failure to stop
his train in time to avoid the acct
dent.

Ion ROAD BUILDING.
Martin Dodge Makes bis Repor,
for the Year 1901.
DEMAND FOR OBJECT LESSON ROADS.
The Once VIII Cooperate with the Ma
tl0nsl Good Roads Association and
the Southern Railway In Work
Down South.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-The report
Of Martin Dodge, director of the Of.
flee Of public road inquiries Of the
agricultural department, for 1901 has
just been issued. Mr.. Dodge says
that the work Of his office during the
year was continued along the lines
laid down in previous reports. Rep
resentatives Of the office visited near.
ly all the states and made scientific
Investigations regarding local roads,
road materials, etc. Several state
legislatures were furnished assist
ance in framing new road laws. Farm
ers' organizations, farmers insti-
tutes, business organizations, schools,
colleges, petitioning for cooperation
and advice, were accorded as far as
the resources of the Office permitted.
Never before in the history of this
country, says the report, has there
been so much interest manifested in
the subject of road building and
more actual work in that line was
dono last year than ever before.
It Is the intention OF the director,
i, in continuing the work during the
ensuing year, to enlarge its scope SO
far as the appropriation will permit.
Out Of large number Of requests for
practical cooperation, five places
have been selected where the office
will assist in building object lesson
roads. These places are Buffalo, N.
T.; Cumberland, Md; Charlottesville,
Va; Jonesboro, Tenn, and Tama, la
Sections Of the various kinds Of
roads, including earth, gravel, ma
cadam, tar macadam, etc, will be
built. The office will cooperate with
the National Good Roads association
and the Southern railway in the
building Of object lesson roads in tie
states OF North Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia.
The director says that 1t should be
distinctly understood that the work
OF the Office is purely educational.
There Is no intention to shift the bur-
den and responsibility of construct
ing improved roads from the states
and counties to the general govern
ment.
In order to meet the constantly in
creasing demands that are being
made from time to time for practical
assistance and advice, the director
suggests the organization of two OF
three outfits of road building ma.
chinery, including rock crushers,
screens, rollers, road graders, etc, to
be sent to the various places which
have asked for cooperation of the
department. and where preparations
had been made for actual road con-
struction. Each of these outfits
should be accompanied by one or two
practical road builders and compe-
tent road engineer. The director
asks an increase to $4,000 of the ap.
preparation for his Office.

PHILIPPINE NEWS.


Manila, Jan. 13.-The news received
! from Batangas province is cheerful
The expedition to Loboo, in Batan'
gas, has been complete success. The
columns under Coils. Whit and Wells
have destroyed q large number Of
barracks and hamlets and enough
rations to keep 10000 Tilipinos foI
six months. There was not single
American casualty during the entire
expedition. The enemy fled before
the Americans, many Of them were
killed and several surrendered.
Maj. Henry Allen, formerly govern
or Of the island Of Leyte and now
chief Of the insular constabulary,
who has been making tour Of in
spection through the islands Of Leytc
and Mindanao has returned to Manila
and reports that the native constab-
ulary is fully able to control the
situation in the province Of Misamis,
in Northern Mndanao, where he
thinks the situation has been much
exaggerated. Previous reports con-
cerning this province caused Gems.
Davis and Wade to request that ii
be returned from civil to military
control.
With the exception of the church
the entire town of Quinquc in Bulu-
can province, Luzon, was burned to
the ground and thousands of Filipi-
nos have been rendered homeless.
Medical authorities here assert
that considerable portion Of the
breaking down among American resi-
dents of the Philippine islands is due
to inconsistencies. The newspapers Of
Manila are urging the United States
Philippine commission to make an APP
preparation for daily cabled news
service from the United States, thus
bringing Americans here into closer
touch with their home life.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. s.-War-
den Jewett, of the Kansas peniten-
tiary, has decided to abolish the lock
step in the marching of convicts. He
made this announcement to them in
chapel and it met with approval. The
lock step has many disadvantages.
in hot weather it increases the afflic-
ton of the heat and it prevents rapid
marching and after a convict has
marched in the lock step for eight or
ten years and he is released from the
penitentiary he never walks with
ease again.
