HANDLING THEM NICELY.
Heavy Holiday Railroad Travel Keeps
 Company Hustling.

The usual heavy tide of travel on ford railroad at this season of the year. on account of those who are travelling to their sundner homes and resorts at the seashore and in the mountains, is now at it's height, and coupled with the rush of business on account of the Fourth of July presents an almost unprecedented volume of passenger travel on the railroad. All the passenger trains are crowded to their utmost capacity. It has been necessary, to run all the through New York and Boston trains and many ofh- CTS in two sections. and the railroad is finding it a difficult task to perform efficient service for tlpe enormous amount of business it is being called upon to take care of The hot weath- CT of the past few days, after the weeks of coolness and rain, has played no small part in bringing about this record breaking volume of traffic. Many who have ordinarily gone to their summer homes early in June postponed their trips this year, await ing the advent of more favorable weather, and are now adding their numbers to an amount of business that, without them, would tax not a little the facilities of the road to han dAe and care for properly. The rail- road, however, is doing even better than could be expected under such conditions, and undoubtedly will be able to transport all the business it is called upon to handle.

A QUIET FOURTH.

Superintendent Kelley Had Debris
 Swept Away for Sunday Morning.
 The Fourth of July passed of very quietly in Waterbury and nobody ap- preciates this more than the police Of fcers, none of whom had anything un- usual to do except lecture youngsters once in a while about being too en- thusiastic in the matter of giving vent to their patriotic tendencies. An un- usually large number of people spent the day out of town and no doubt this had some influence upon those who re- mained at home. But the city was by no means deserted and to the credit of those who loitered about the old haunts it ought to be said that while behaving well, they made things pretty interesting for themselves and their neighbors. There was a liberal dis play of flags and enough fireworks to please anybody. Several of the young sters and a few of the older folks got too near the explosives and are nursing sore spots to-day, but no one, so far as can be learned was seriously injured. The fire department had but two calls, one to the residence of MT Wiidman on Round Hill street, about 7 o'clock in the morning, where window cur tain caught on fire. It was extin guished before doing any damage. In the evening a balloon squatted down on the roof of house at the corner of Hawkins and and Adams street and soon set the shingles smouldering. The fire 1addies from the Burton street house were on hand in jiffy and club bed the incipient blaze into submission in short order. It was a glorious Fourth of July and everybody said so when they strolled about the public streets Sunday morning and found no trace of all the explosives that had been used up. What became of the debris? Why Superintendent Kelley appeared on the scene with force of men soon after the shooting ceased and kept sweeping until early daylight Sunday and by that time the streets looked as clean as if nothing unusual had happened.

The Engineer Was Dead

Knoxville, Tenn. Jan. IL
Passengers on an incoming
Knoxville and Ohio railroad
tram rode several miles this
evening with the hand of a
corpse at the throttle Of the en-
CINE. The train left Buckeye,
Tenn, on time and ran through
to Careyville, the next station.
When the train ran through the
latter town Fireman Mattlock
discovered something was wrong
and stepped to the engineers
side of the engine. He found
Engineer A. G. Young dead, and
Immediately stopped the train.
There is wound on the left
side of the engineers head and
the suppOsition is that a piece
fell from the side of a high cut
through the mountains and kill
ed him instantly. The train ran
perhaps eight miles after Young
was killed.

Epidemic of Blind Staggers.

During the past two weeks 2 great
number of valuable horses and mules
throughout the State have died of
blind or mad staggers. This disease
attacks suddenly animals that are
seemingly in the best condition and
is nearly always fatal.
Blind staggers originates in a dis
ordered condition Of the stomach. ar-
tecting the brain, causing the animal
to walk in a circle to the right, push
ing the head against stall, etc and
sometimes the eyesight is entirely
lost.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders for
horses and mules only is a sure pre-
ventive. BY the use OF three or four
doses a week the digestive organs are
put in healthy condition and then
there is no danger whatever of stag
gers.
Mr.. f NJ. Griffin, of Monroe. N. G..
one OF the best known horsemen in
North Carolina says: 81 have never
had case of blind staggers in my
stables when Ashcraft's Condition
Powders were used during epi
denies"
Ashcraft's Condition Powders are
on sale at Crawford Bros.
One 25c package would be cheap in
surance fyr a valuable horse or mule.

PENSIONS FOR OLD SLAVES.
Roosevelt Threatened With Bolt
of the COlOred Vote.
From New York Times.

Washington, January 14.--De-
mand that the Republican party
shall cause the enactment of a
law to pension former slaves was
made to the president today. The
penalty of refusal will be the re-
nswal Of a movement to organize
bolt of the Republican party by
the Northern negroes.
This threat is made by three
negro clergymen, whom Surveyor
Clarkson took to the White House
during the fall campaign. There
was at that time a movement to
organize the negroes. particular
ly in the doubtful northern states
to vote against the Republican
party unless the Lilly White"
movement In the south was disa-
vowed by the administration.
Alter their interview at the
White House the three clergy
men, who had announced their
intention of issuing a manifesto
In favor of such an organization
declared that they would discoun.
tenance the movement because
the administration was going to
fight the Lily Whites" The
idea was thereupon dropped for
the time, although local organi.
cations have been kept in some
states.
Unless the Republicans take
up the old scheme, which has
been before congress year after
year, the irdependent negro or
ganization will be started again
and the matter carried to the
polls. The pension Idea has taken
strong hold upon thousands of
negroes. The postoffice depart
mont investig ated the matter and
found that many thousand were
in correspondence with the pro-
moters of the scheme.
Mitchell says that the pension
ing Of the X-slaves would bring
about a more equitable distribu.
ton of public moneys. The north.
he said, is getting three fourths
OF the money now being distribu-
ted, and the greater portion of
pensions, river and harbor appro-
prlatlons, ETC., go north.
The only recourse left for the
adjustment of the matter" said
Mitchell, "will be the polls. If
the president and his cabinet and
congress fail to hear US we can
by organization in the northern
states change things greatly be-
fore the next election. The agi
tation of this question means the
negro vote IN 1904.
