During the year 1904 we have gained 5000 telephones in Connecticut, and we can but believe that this is largely re- sultant of our efforts to furnish the kind of telephone service that pays.
 We do this because. from our stand- point also. 1t pays; for, while the tele- phone has become permanent insti- tuition. our success and growth depend upon the good will and cooperation of our subscribers.
 we believe that you, as well as the 5000 others mentioned above, can use the telephone to advantage, and we should be glad to send a representative at any time to discuss all matters per taining to either business, residence or toll line service.

BIG MAIN BROKE.
New Workers in Danger of Drowning To-Day Fire
 Protection Cut Off.

New York, Feb 19.--A four and one-half foot water main in upper Broadway, the largest main in the city, burst early to-day between 91st and 92nd streets doing thousands of dollars of damage to adjacent prop erty and, depriving large section Of the upper west side of fire protection and water until the damage is re- paired. The torrent of water tore up the roadway and filled cellars for four hours before the pressure was shut of.
 Easements in the neighboring buildings filled up so rapidly with the flood coming from the huge high pressure main that in 2 number of cases sleepers in basements had mar row escapes from drowning. Boil CTS and heating plants in the flooded buildings were put out of commission by the water and residences and abaftments housing 8 thousand per sons are without heat until the wal ter can be pumped.

People Crowlang at Lord Roberts's Dismissal King Edward Smoothed Out Matters By Inviting Roberts to the Palace.

London. Feb. 19s--The Royal eulo- gy of Lord Roberts contained in the special army order issued yesterday evening in which King Edward took leave of Lord Roberts as commander in-chief of the. army is commented up- on as another instance where the tact of his majesty rescued the minister from an awkward dilemma
 The curt manner in which the war office dismissed Lord Roberts deeply incensed the late commander-in-ch chief, and this feeling was shared by the public to such an extent that it threat ed to lead to serious attack on the government in parliament. The kings first tntimation of his disap- proval of the war office treatment was to invite Lord Roberts to Buckingham palace where marked attention was shown to the field marshal. This has now been followed by the general army order, which was sent out by the king personally not as usually through the war office.

INJURIES PROVE FATAL.
Youna John O'Brien Has Both Legs
 Cat on by Train.

Bridgeport, Feb 1e.-John J. O'Brien, 16-year-old boy, who lived with his parents at Al Water street, died at the hospital yesterday forenoon from the effects Of fatal injuries received at the foot of South avenue, where he was run over by switch engine No 61. Both logs were cut off close to his body.
 The boy was picking up coal nt the junction of the tracks naar the Nauga- tuck dock in the lower freight yard. The lad tailed to see the switcher and before the engineer had time to stop hss engine, or before tae boy had time to get out of the way, he was struck and knocked down and the wheels of the tender passed over his legs. A crowd Of men pushed to the rezcue of the boy, but too lHte. He was picked up by tender hands and the emergency ambulancs sent for. The boy's father, who works in the South avenue freight station, heard Of the accident and came hurTying to tho scene and was in time to assist in placing his boy in the aNDulanoe. The boy was hurried to The losutal, but died shortly after ar riving fhere. The body was removed to the homo later.

WAR COMPLICATIONS. Wheat Prices to Highest
 Point Reached in Six Years.

New York, Feb 10.-The most striks ing news of the business week, as shown by political telegrams from cor respondents of the International Mer- cantile agency throughout the United States and Canada, is found in Pitts burg advices that constituent steel cor poration companies making steel bars ficient to warrant discussion of vol untary offer to advance wages a month hence.
 Quite as significant are reports from New England that the volume of rail- road traffic there in general merchant disc lines Is 15 per cent heavier than B year ago. that 1t is heavier than a year ago on roads centering at Chicago, at Duluth and the Irwin Dities,n at St Louis and New Orleans, and is but slightly below last years total at Pitts burg, with the volume increasing.
 This in the face of Interruptions to traffic by snow and ice and extreme cold weather, presents a more favora- ble situation respecting current distri- button of goods than had been sup posed
 Prices of shoes are to be advanced soon. Smaller New England cotton mills may have to shut down during
  tairty of prices and supplies.
 Southern adyices say many interior buyers are unquest ionably loaded with high priced cotton, and unless prices advance eIects may be felt later. [ The only thing in railway gra n rate cutting which has attracted attention was the effort to explain. 1t is with out significance. Foreign war complf- cations have stimulated wheat prices to the highest point reached in six years. Baltimore jobbers will be able to supply the bulk of orders on hand, but will not handle as much business during the spring as if there had been no. fire
 General trade in the Dominion of Canada continues quiet Interest is taken in the proposed re-organlzat ton of Consolidated Lake Superior as the Canadian Improvement Go, in which 1t is said the government vii become financially interested. The business community is interested in the appar- ent hitch in the ratification of the ar- rangement between the Grand Trunk Pacific and the government. It is re- garded as certain, however, that the new trans-continental railway will be constructed. The expenditure, it is thought, will involve $1Oo, 100000.

BOYS IN
 THE RIVER.
Two woYoungsters Had a Narrow Escape.
Broke Through Ice-Were Being Carried Along With Current-Father of One Boy Rescued Them Just i'm Time.

Two little boys, John Murphy of Green street and James Pryor of North Riverside street, aged z and 3 years respectively, were nearly drowned in the Naugatuck river, a short distancei above the Brooklyn bridge, about 1O:80 this morning. Only quick and decisive action upon the part of James Pryor, father of one of the boys, saved the children from drowning.
 The Murphy boy, who is a son of MT and Mrs Michael Murphy of 15 Green street, had been visiting the Pryor boy at his home, 567 North Xiv erside street About 1O:30 the two children went out to play. The Naug- atuck river, which flows along in the rear of the house, was covered with a thin coating of ice. Unknown to their parents the children went on the river to skate. A part of the ice was so thin that the boys broke through and fell into the river. Their bodies began to float down the river. Some person had seen the boys fall in and ran to the home of the Pryor boy and 1n- formed his father of the accident. MT Pryor ran with all speed to the river, saw the two bodies floating in the water, Jumped in. swan toward the bodies, seized one and then the other and brought them safely to the shore. When the boys were carried out of the river their bodies were apparently life less. Some friends worked over them and succeeded in reyiving them some what before Dr Russell arrived. The boys were then carried into the home of MT and Mrs Louis Rossi in Wards flats, where every attention was paid to them. Dr Russell succeeded after hard work In restoring the boys to con- sciousness. They were then removed to their homes, where they are now resting comfortably. No serious re- suits are feared

Isham's gents furnishing store and asked Mfr Isham to cash a check on the Waterbury Lumber Go for a small aomunt. alleged to be due him for wages. The check was cashed. The amount Of the check, 1t is said, was $14.5O. Later in thB day the same well dressed stranger went in. to the store Of the Connecticut Boot and Shoe Go on East Maan strest and asked to have a sinnilar check cashed by the clerk in the store. The clerk, thinking that fe WIS check
 on the Waterbury Lumber and Coal Go, readily cashatl 1t. The stranger, who signed his name James Rey- holds, received S1A in this transac- ton, On the san1e day Reynolds went into Laka 6 Strobel's store and is said to have been successful in having & cheek for small amount cashed.
