 Since the city. installed an electric light on the lower end of Sylvan ave- nue, youngsters have been busy aiming missiles at, it, with the result that 1t does not burn regularly and the people are constantly finding fault about it. Things kept growing from bad to worse and finally they got together and agreed upon a plan of watching which could not help but bring the rascals who were breaking the globes and car bons into court, and yesterday they were rewarded by capturing two boys just as they had put the. lamp out of business. It now remains to be seen what will be done with them. Detec- tive Dodds has the matter in hand.

 Traffic on all the railroads yesterday was exceedingly heavy. Thousands left and thousands visited here, and the depots were thronged in conse- queHco IdSC evening". The n0dVleSC traffic is said to have been on the Highland division. The S:O7 train, the last one going east, was half an hour late and five cars had to be added to accommodate the waiting crowds that were anxious to get home Usual ly two or three cars make up that train. Officer Byrnes had a difficult time in keeping the anxious crowds out of danger for the pressure was so great that hundreds were in danger of being pitched headlong on the tracks not withstanding there were engines mov- ing to and fro every minute. The order recently enacted by the board of public safety should have been employed at the Highland division depot last even- ing, for there was not room on the platform to accommodate one-half the anxious waiting crowd. The evening trains on the Naugatuck division was unusually large also, even for Labor day.
