 T regret exceedingly the military did not preserve the peace.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-"You cant expect to take off trains that people have been used to ta, lg for some time just because they cease to be profitable to you. You can't shift time tables to suit your profits and at the same time cause thousands of people great inconvenience by so doing"
 It was while B. c. Buckland, attor. ney for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, was trying to explain to the state railroad commissioners at public hearing why the company he represented had taken off certain trains largely patronized by commuters to New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and other points near New York city that Frank M Baker, one of the commissioners. interrupted him with the above declaration.
 MT. Bakers short statement, which in the opinion of all present apparent. ly showed that the commissioners are in sympathy with the complaining pas sengers, was concluded with applause from half hundred citizens who were present from several towns along the New Haven road lines.

 A petition signed by number of New Haven taxpayers importuning the board of aldermen to find some way of taxing at least a portion of the real estate owned by Yale unfver- sity, was presented to the aldermen Monday evening. The aldermen who presented the petition said that the right of non-taxation which the uni versity now enjoys through its charter could be overcome by having the legis- lature pass an act requiring the uni- versity to pay taxes on all property bought in the future. In 1898 the su- preme court decided in favor of the university in an attempt to force it to pay taxes on land occupied by build ings other than those used strictly for educational purposes, such as dornli- tories. The university now pays taxes on $117, ,OOO worth of land from which an income is derived.

 "A couple of boys saw what they thought looked very much like a sil- yer coins in the water under the bridge on Bank street this morning. They were out in the middle of the stream, where the water IS about three feet deep, but this did not matter to the boys; they were going to get them no matter how wet they got. In their eagerness to reach the objects first they went right into the stream clothes and all. There was race and the boy who reached them first found nothing but a couple of small pieces of tin. When they came out of the water their clothes were wet through.
 Two boys about 15 years of age unhitched peddler's horse that was standing on Washington avenue this morning while the pedd1er was in one of the houses. They loosened all the harness and tied the traces up with string so that the peddler would not detect the mischief until he took hold of the reins and started the horse. When he did so the horse started off and the wagon started to go down the h1l backwards. The peddler saw where the trouble was in a minute and looked around to see who had done it. He soon perceived the two boys hid- ing behind a fence. He started after them with his whip in his hand, but the boys were too quick for him and gave him the slip.
