10 MIL Els an HOUR.

Passenger trains between Boston and
New York over the tracks of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road, rushing across the country at a
rate of seventy-tive miles an hour, and
drawn by massive electrical locomo-
tives, are scheduled by the officers of
the company TO begin running at no
distant date. The energies of the
heads of the operating department of
the road are now being directed to a
contamination of these gigantic plans.
Trains will be run day .and night.
They will be luxuriously appointed.
Sleeping cars of the latest pattern
will be used at night and parlor cars
in the daytime. Fares will be reduced
also.
Plans of the new high-speed electri-
cal locomotives which will haul these
passenger trains have already been
prepared They will. it is said, fol-
low closely the lines of the engines
that are now being built for the New
York Central road in the shops of the
General Electrical Company and the
American Locomotive Company at
Schenectady.
The present large A Atlantic type of
steam locomotives, which haul the
Twentieth Century Limited and the
Empire State Express, have an iudi-
GATED horsepower of !, 800 when run
ming at speed of sixty miles an hour.
The new electrical locomotive will
develop 1900 horsepower at normal
rating and Q 800 at maximum.
Seventy-ive miles an hour is the
rate the electric locomotives will haul
passenger trains, according to the Off.
cial announcement.
The significance of the Oentrsl's
project and that of the New Haven,
according to railroad official, lies in
the fact that 1t points out clearly that
electrical power soon will supersede
steam, and that trains will rush from
New York to Chicago at eighty miles
an hour. or, with the doing away of
CURVES, perhaps ninety miles an hour.

RUTLAND'S REPUBLICANS.

Rutland, June S.-Charles l.. Rob-
inson of this city, secretary of the
board of assessors of Rutland, today
stated that according to the books of
the board there are now just nine men
in the city who acknowledge that
they are members Of the Democratic
party.
The records which have just been
completed, after the annual taking of
lists, show that there are 3, 44l legal
voters in the city, which is just nine
more than the number of names ON the
Republican check list used at the eau
Gus few days ago.
There are really many more Demo.
Gratis than this in Rutland but the
heat of the recent local Republican
contests has caused most of them to
have their pames placed ON the list
f the opposing party.

recognize that the license law has not

consistency, and to the end that the
decision of the people as between IL
cense and prohibition may be final and
conclusive, they believe that the
legislature of 1904 should amend the
defects in the present law which expe-
rience has revealed, making it as
effective and restrictive as possible in
every way, and give it fair trial for
another two years. Both, il elected,
will work to this end in the legsla-
turc and will do so in good faith
