RAILWAY HEARINGS.

Consolidated Wishes to Condemn Land
 in New Haven-C. R. and l. Com
 pany Appeals.
 Hartford, July 27.-Hearings were given by the railroad commissioners on
 two matters to-day and in each no re-
 suit was reached. The first was on the petition Of the New York, New Haven
 and Hartford railroad for the approval
 of location of tracks, and the other mat
 ter related to siding extension in the town os Huntington on petition of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company.
 In the first hearing Attorney J. c. Sweeney for the road said that it was the intention of the company to sub- init plans to the board in a few days, showing the proposed improvements embodied in a change of location of
 tracks, and os the four tracks through the cut in New Haven. Commissioner
 Seymour suggested that the company had not asked approval of the board for relocation Of the tracks as proposed and until that was given the board could not well approve of condemnation of land. Attorney Sweeney in reply said it was in the province of the board to order the condemnation of land in
 question without first approving of the general plan of improvement.
 On the appeal of the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting company from the decision of the selectmen of Huntington in refusing to allow the extension of a siding, it was shown at town meet ing that it was voted by the selectmen be instructed not to grant the company
 any concessions additional to those all ready given until it has reduced it's fare to five cents to all parts of the town. For the company ex-Speaker
 Allen W. Paige said that the matter of
 fares had been adjusted by the conn
 pany on a basis which it deemed fair for the length of the line. The board took the matter under consideration.

YOUNG WOMAN'SDARINGAGT
BESSIE WARToN, OF WEST HA- YEN, MAKES BALLOON ASCENT.

Young Man With Whom She Had Guar
 reIed Dared Her and She Took Him
 nt His word-Made Double Flight
 With Jack Crossby-FrIends Tried to
 Dissuade Her-Worls in White City.
 Miss Bessie Warton, pretty young woman of twenty-six years, employed as cashier at the laughing gallery in the White City, yesterday surprised her host of friends by announcing that she was going to make balloon ascension with Gentleman" Jack Crosby in the afternoon. At first they laughed at her. but later on when they saw she was determined they tried to persuade her to give up the idea of such a dangerous exploit, but no argument would budge her. She stated that a young man had dared her to go up and she was going if for no other reason than to show him she had mind of her own. Although Miss Warton would not admit it, some of her friends declare she had quarrel recently with the young man in ques- ton, with whom she has been keeping company, and that her determination to make an ascent was the outcome of this. The young man was on the spot just before the ascent yesterday and begged her not to go. She said it was too late now to change her mind. All the morning she had been under in- struction from Professor Flowers and MT. Crosby. and she did not fear the ascent.
 A crowd of 5000 persons saw the flight" and during it business at the Rock was almost at a standstill as pro- prietors and employees, among whom Miss Warton was well known both turned out in body. The young wo- man was attired in pretty costume of red tights and waist, and went up snlil- ing and shaking her hand at her friends, The ascent was one of the prettiest double ones ever seen here, and Professor Flowers was as much pleased as anybody. He said he had trained number of women aeronauts, but never had one that had the nerve of Miss Walton. At an altitude of 1000 feet the young woman cut loose and made a perfect drop, being followed a minute later by Mir. Crosby. When seen after the drop Miss Warton said that she could not describe the sensa- ton of the flight, except that in the first minute every episode in her life-- her home and her parents flashed through her mind Tn fact, she lived the twenty-six years of her life over again, and all in that one minute Af- ter that she came back again to a real- ization of her act and also that she must not lose courage, and she didn't Asked if she would go up again, she said yes, if they would let her, and 1t is very likely she will be allowed to go to- morrow afternoon. MT. Crossby's eve ming ascent with fireworks was also very successful The ascents are now made from the Grove, in front of Cur nans hotel, instead of at the baseball grounds.

The two runs of the locals came in the second inning on single, double and a single by Bannon. Canavan and Fitz- maurice, respectively. O'Gara, who was pitching for the Silver City men, was taken out after this and replaced by Thomas, who during the remainder of the game allowed but five scattered hits and kept the Blues from scoring. Mer- iden's only run came in the eighth, when Weisbecher drew a base on balls, Burke struck out and Kennedy and Theisen singled, Weisbecher scoring. With only one man out and two men on bases Meriden had an excellent chance to IOFS6 dHedut put v A1dItt dllu iouAAlS could not get the necessary hit, both flying out.
 The feature of the game was the bril- liant work of Larkin, the shortstop for the Meridens. He had two put-outs, five assists and double play unassist- ed without an error, and at five times at the bat got two hits. Bone, the for mer New Haven player, was in hard luck.
