 No on the Rockville branch has had three rolled iron beams placed under each rail in place of wooden trussed
 stringers during the past season. The
 track of the main line and the Connect

 branches is in excellent condition.
 THE OTHER DIVISIONS.
 On the Berkshire division, thirteen and one-half miles of steel rails are be- ing laid between Newtown and Bridge port. Bridges are being repaired, new |girders are being put in, and the tracks #are being balIasted. The improvements incidental to the double-tracking of the INaugatuek branch south of Ansonia, |are well advanced. Satisfactory pro- |gress is being made on the extensive improvements in the city of Bridgeport, land 1t is expected that the traffic Of the Hroad will be transferred from the sur face to the elevated structure on or about December 1. The track and branches of the Northampton branch are in good condition, that portion south of Mount Carmel having been re-
 ballasted this season. On the Shore
 Line division repairs are being made on
 the Thames river bridge. The track on the Midland division is being inn
 proved. The track of the Providence
 division, from Willimantie to oneco, is
 in good condition.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-11-16

The track of the Valley branch is to be improved by laying twelve hundred tons of new steel rails, and new steel girders have been ordered for bridges Nos. 905, 917, 924, 925 and BPS.
 On the Middletown and Waterbury branch, the track and bridges have been much improved during the past year. This is especially true of the summit piling," so-called, which has been strengthened by additional piles, caps, stringers and filling the approach es, also the long piling near the old glass works, which is being filled, and other similar structures which have been repaired on various parts of the line, notably beyond Prospect station. The drainage has been improved at the western end of the line by enlarging and opening waterway made for changing brook running parallel to the line, and by ballasting the track adjacent thereto with stone.
 HIGHLAND DIVISION.
 On the Highland division, eleven bridges have been, and are to be, st1p- piled with heavier new steel girders to meet the requirements of heavier traf- fife, and about two miles of new steel rails are to be placed in the track east of Danbury, and twelve miles in the west-bound track between Hartford and Vernon, and three miles in the east-bound track between the same points. Some new ties and guard tim Der will soon be needed in bridge No. 105. The Howe truss bridge, No. 104,

It also seems as if the engineering department, which is especially charged with the duty of planning, designing and supervising all new construction
 would be best equipped to supervise and direct the work of maintenance. HARTFORD DIVISION.
 On the Hartford division new and heavier steel girders have been ordered for bridges south of North Haven, Mer- iden, NeWington and Elmwood. The masonry for the west span of the bridge over the Connecticut river at Ware house Point will soon be complete d, upon which new double track steel girders are to be placed, which will in- augurate the much needed change of the whole structure from a single to a double track bridge. The track from Cedar Hill to North Haven is to be re- laid with new steel rails this fall. The
 Middletown, New Britain and Suffield
 branches are in satisfactory condition.

CONSOLIDATED ROAD.
REPORT OF RAILROAD CoMMIS-
 SHOWERS
On Improvements- --Condits"ns Favor- able All Along the Line-Tho Differ enf Divisions -Nvareho houss Point New

The railroad commissioners have just made their report on their annual in- spection of the lines of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad! company, the Central New England company, and the New London North ern railroad. "t#4M.
 The main lines and branches Of the "Consolidated'' road were inspected from October 13 to B. and the tracks and bridges were found to be in satis" factory condition. The improvement, the commissioners say, is more marked than ever before. The commissioners believe that the placing of the mainte- nance of way and structures under the supervision and control of the engineer ing department is & move in the right direction, and that it will result in se- curing greater uniformity in form, shape and plan of roadbed and strue- lures than if each division was under separate management. It will be a re- lief to the superintendents of the vari- ous divisions, and will enable them to devote themelves more exclusively to the movement of traffic over their line.

Winning Of a Marlborough Check.

The persistence Oh some painters Is
proved by a story that is going the
rounds of the London studios, says the
New York Press. A young artist poor
and unknown, boosted In a crowd of
his fellows that he would paint the
portrait Of one of the twelve leading
women in London within year. There
were many takers of the bet. The art
list took the next train for Blenheim
palace, where the young Duchess OF
Marlborough was staying. Note after
note was sent to her, but the artist re-
ceived no reply. One day he brfbed the
gardener with a couple of shillings to
let him enter by hedge. When he was
in the garden the former Miss Wander
bilt appeared. He jumped from behind
a lilac bush, said he was struggling
and poor and begged permission to
paint her portrait The duchess laughed
and said she could not spare the time
for posing Then she added that If he
left some finished work with her agent
in London she would leave a check. 1t
is said Of the persistent youth that II
he did not paint the Marlborough por-
trait he at least received a MarlbOr-
Ough check.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From fle Atehson Kan. Daily Globe.
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedy for Group
is 10 demand in every neighborhOod.
One of the most terrible thi0gs in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whOop from one of
the children. The Group remedies
are almost as sure TO be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group
known as hive syrup and tolu. but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Syrup is better and
does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupv cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails, and is
pleasant and safe TO take. For sale by
