TROLLEY EXTENDED TO STAMFORD.
Direct Line of Street Cars Now from New
York to New-Haven.

Stamford Conn, Aug. (SpeciaD.-The extension
of the trolley railroad from Greenwich 10 the
Stamford town line is completed, and cars are
making regular trips between New-Rochelle ana
that point. This is the last link in the direct
line of trolley between New-York and New-Haven
and there is a saving in time of forty minutes
between Stamford and New-Rochelle by this route
over the Sound Beach way.
The officers of the New-York and Stamford Rail-
road who control the line from Greenwich to
New Rochelle have been endeavoring to make
some traffic arrangement with the New-York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, the Stam-
ford trolley line being owned by that corporation,
whereby the cars of the New-York and Stamford
railroad could be direct from Rochelle
TO Stamford town hall. and passengers be carried
TO and from Greenwich on a fve-cent fare. SO far'
however, the companies have been unable 10
come TO any agreement. The fare from Greenwich
TO Stamford over the steam road is ten cents.

THINK A FIREBUG WAS AT YoNKERs
Empire City Track Officials Investigating
the Two Recent Blazes There

The officials Of the Empire City track, near Yon-
kers are making a2 investigation Of the two re-
cent fires in the large stables containing the valu-
able trotting horses which are now there for the
Grand Circuit meet which begins tomorrow. They
feel certain that there has been frebug at work,
as they do not believe il is probable that both
fires were caused by careless stablemen throwing
cigarettes in the straw. Secretary Ar Reeves
said yesterday the fact that both fires occurred
after midnight made them look like the work OF an
ipcenjiary.
There has been trouble with any Of the en-
poyes al the track" said Mr. Reeves. and it looks
20 me as though there might be insane man
around who likes TO start fires to see the buildings
burn
The latest fire occurred in what was called Stable
No 10. in the extreme eastern section of the club
grounds and in the midst of group Of dozen
other stables containing trotting horses worth
about 100000 Each stable was filled with horses
that are to race the Grand Circuit meeting, and
II is the belief Of the horsemen that the incendary
intended TO burn up several other stables.
The first FIRE occurred last Sunday morning, and
Q stable on the hill. back of the grandstand. was
destroyed. and thirty trotters, worth $4,000 Were
rescued by the quick action Of the stablemen and
trainers
