TROLLEY TALK.
Will Be No Break in Line Between
 Waterbury and New York.

lWill Be No Break in Line Between Waterbury and New York
 General Manager Sewell of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go was in a communicative mood last evening regarding the extension of the 1 trolley system He said that if Wa terbury and New York are not con nected by trolley next year, by the Fourth of July at the latest, he could not say when they will be, He ex- pected that by early spring Waterbury and Cheshire will be connected. and as the. only other break in the entire line was connected last week, or at ] least ought to have been connected, that is, between Stamford and Cos Cob, the right of way was complete. Cheshire and Mount Carmel were con- nected two weeks ago, thus leaving a break of about S1s miles between Cheshire and Waterbury The sur vey on this route may be completed any day. The head office of the com pany is expected to hear from the sur veyors at any moment, and then the work of laying the tracks will begin as soon as possible. As the route is almost entirely on private property there will be as little delay as possible, as the obstacles that are encountered on public roads and streets will not have to be endured
 l MT Sewell said that once the survey ors got off the ground the tracks can be built at the rate of about a mile a week under fair circumstances so that there is every prospect that at last Waterbury will be connected by trolley with the outside world by next summer. One can then take a ear every fifteen or twenty minutes at the utmost, and travel in ease, cleanliness and comfort in any direction south ward Or, by changing at Milldale, over Cheshire way, and going up to Bristol, the whole field Of electric communications, covering almost the en- tire state of Massachusetts, is open.
 When trolley travelling one cannot help noticing the difference in the roads built by local companies and those built by the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Go. The latter are as smooth as they can possibly be. The road between Bridgeport and An sonia is said to be the finest in the state. It is certainly q delight to travel over it. 1t was built under the personal supervision of General Man. ager Sewell, and runs through charm ing scenery.
 The pleasure of long trolley ride has not yet been experienced by the public of this town, and the state ment, even from so high an authority as General Manager Sewell himself. that this pleasure can soon be in- dulged in, seems too good to be wholly true, for this city has been so securely isolated ill this respect that it appears l impossible 1t will ever be released. Un- Hike travelling on a train, the passenger can alight at any. point desired and can be picked up by the next car which comes along in quarter of an hour It is pleasure the poorest may enjoy as well as the richest, for the trolley is the poor mans carriage, his automo- bile if you like. and the statement by MT Sewell that he can enjoy 1t next summer to his hearts content IS cer- tainly sopething to be appreciated.

 GONAIVES, Haiti, Sept. 11.--An in vestigation made into the sinking of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a- Pierrot at the entrance of this harbor Saturday shows that Admiral ISillick, her com mander, personally fired the after mag azine of that vessel when the German gunboat Panther attempted to capture her and that he apparently went down with his ship.

The Panther then left Gonaives.

 The Driggs x Smith Go, which has occupied the big store room at Grand and Bank streets since the fire last February, will move today into the store room No 49 Center street. This move is made for the purpose of ser curing more adequate quarters for their fall and winter trade.

For the fall and winter trade, and especially for the holiday trade, the Driggs & Smith Go will put in large stock of pianos, musical in struRents and musical merchandise, book and sheet music. The store room which the company will move to to- day is partially occupied by the Zig latzki-Marks Go, but this business will soon be able to get into permanent quarters on South Main street. After the Ziglatzki- Marks Go vacates the Driggs & Smith Go will occupy all the room at 40 Center street until they are able to get into their old home on Bank street.

 This Morning.

 For interfering with Officer McEvoy George Miller, who keeps a saloon on East Main street, near Spring street, is carrying bandages round his dislo- cated jaw to-day, and it will be some time before they will be removed. Mill Ter is about twice the size of AIcEvoy. but apparently is not quite as handy as him. Last evening about 6 o'clock the officer asked Miller and gang that stood near him on East Main street to move on. Miller, according to the officers story in the city court to- day, refused. He also gave impertin- ence. McEvoy is compared to mod ern Job, so that it Is said he was thor oughly exasperated before he buckled into Miller and struck him on the jaw. Miller resisted even then and a lively fight is said to have taken place, but Miller landed in the station house. It was not until after his release on bonds that he found his jaw was brok- en. He was charged with breach of the peace and resistance, but the court evidently thought he had suffered enough, for sentence was suspended
 William Hickey was found by Ofi- cer J. Sullivan sleeping on veranda on. South Main street this morning at 2 o'clock. Hickey said he came down from East Berlin. where he is em- ployed, to pay up an insurance policy He was fined $10 and costs. George Fontaine, who is said to be degenerate, was charged with breach of the peace. A Mrs Connolly of North Elm street testified against him. She said that he pretended to her he was a private detective looking for two girls from New York. He also insulted her. AS this was the second time he was thus charged he was fined $25 and costs
