TO BUILD TROLLEY LINE.
Ley Brothers Awarded Contract fot
 the cheshire Route.

The contract for building the trolley line from East Main street to Cheshire was awarded yesterdaySto Ley Bros. who have the contract for laying the water main on West Main street. The figures of the contract include con- struction only and amount to $175 900. The Cheshire Street Railway Go, which was the company that awarded the contract is controlled by the Connects cut Railway and Lighting Go. A fea- ttlre of great interest to the people of Waterbury is that the line from East Main street to Mad river must be fin- 1shed by August 1 of this year, and the entire line by June, 1905. The c0m- pletfon of the new line will be of the greatest convenience to the people Iiv- ing along it and particularly to the people of Waterbury, who have for years been elamoring for an outlet of this kind. Until the full line is com- pleted, however, the people Of Water bury will not realize the convenience of trolley that has outside connec- lions Or the pleasure to be derived from means of locomodon that will drop you anywhere you desire and pick you up again in fifteen or twenty minutes, and in this way take you to your destination Work in the contract will begin immediately at both ends of the proposed extension. A great part of the way will have to be blasted, as there are considerable rocky points to be overcome
 Ley Bros, who have secured the cons tract, are said to be well known in their branch of business They have just completed n large job in Pitts field, Mass, and have contracted for good deal of work in Waterbury. The firm is composed of Fred T., Harold A. and Leo s. Ley.

At tne Lynn, Mass. H0splIaI IHFy received S9,463.S .S6 from church coIlec- ,tions on Hospital Sunday and S4.s70.20 from hospital boxes.
 Commenting upon hospital prices, the National Hospital Record states that there are hospitals thut can take care of patients for S7 and $8 per week in wards, but if they really do gocd nursing and furnish good food, anything less than $12.5O is an actual loss.
 All this will be news to many resi- dents Of Waterbury, opinion being pretty general that the Waterbury hos pital was an expensive place. much more so than similar institutions in New England.

EASTERN RAILROADS
 HELP THOSE INVEST

Chicago, May 13.-Eastern railroad managers have come to the relief of Chicago shippers by announcing that they will take business at lake rates until the strike of masters and pilots is ended.
 Lake rates, however, already have been advanced in consequence of the deadlock As the Lumber Carriers as- sQciation and the masters have settled their differences the lumber vessels are free to take any business offered, and seven were chartered yesterday for cargoes of corn to Buffalo.
 Nearly million bushels of grain is on vessels tied up in Chicago. and all this must be taken out of the strike runs into warm weather. Vessel men gave shippers permission to unload the ships at any time.

A PECULIAR MARRIAGE.

Le Sueur, Minn, May 13.-The mar riage of Miss Myrtle Thyme and Al bert Grayland occurred under peculiar conditions.

is not the case. There Ia no primary

The court house foundation wa
completed yesterday. and that portion
OF the work undertaken by the count,
IL now finished. The county court re.
jected all bids for the foundation ant
undertook the construction. The low.
est bid was about $4,000. which wa,
considered excessive. AS yet all OF the
bills have not been presented to this
court. and not for some weeks TO come
viii II be possible to give exact figures
as to the cost OF the foundation. How
ever. the total cost Is estimated al
from $4,000 to $4,000. For a time
much difficulty was experienced by the
county officials, because OF the dis
position on the part OF the workmen to
neglect their duties. Finally an eff
Client foreman was engaged and the
work progressed satisfactorily. The
foundation Is pronounced by experts
to be an excellent one, and there Is
not the slightest doubt that It will
hold the big building. Messrs. HASTE
&C. Dougan are now placing the stone
for the basement and the walls are be-
ginning to assume proportions. The
stone is finely cut and each block plac-
ed yesterday fit perfectly. The con-
tractors are determined to make rec
ord on Clatsop's new building and
there is every assurance that the stmic-
ture will be fine one throughout.
While the court house is to be OF two
stories. the basement will be built
above the street grades, so the build
ing will really have a three-story ap-
pearance.

Said President p. Metzler in the As

plant was made before the council
that the theater had been built by scab
labor n committee was appointed to
investigate the charges. The commit

employed in building or fitting up the
theater were non-union men. So far as
the committee can find out union men
were employed on the building and
the actors and actresses are union peo-

to declare the house unfair. I was
there myself last night. OF course the
