A number of the executive officials of the Consolidated railroad, including First Vice-President P. R. Todd, went to Boston via Hartford and Williman- tic, one day last week, on special train from the Union depot. They went to look after the interests of the company in that quarter of the sys- tenn. These officials have just re- turned from a trip to Campbell Hall, N. Y., which is the western end of the roads newly acquired Poughkeepsie bridge freight route. It is stated that it is now the plan of the Consolidated railroad to make the important por- tion of it's Highland division a great freight route from Campbell Hall over the bridge and by Hopewell Junction to Bridgeport, via Danbpry, Hawley;; vile and Botsford. The Highland has hitherto been regarded of chief importance as covering the territory from Fishkill Landing to Willimantic. The coming route for freight over the bridge hereafter will be via Bridge. port, as it has been for the past six months, or since the Consolidated SC. cured the bridge route, and it is ex. pected that the Consolidated will now double-track it's road from Campbell Hall to Hopewell Junction, in order tt keep pace with the demands of the traf fic

HELPS HIMSELF TO A BICYCLE.

Sylvester Dayton, on September g, longing to A. B. Nichols, Jr., of Taun- ton, with whom he was temporarily stopping, and on which he rode to South Norwalk and there sold the wheel for S4. He was caught in Green wich on Friday last, by Deputy Sheriff c. B. Johnson and brought to New town for trial on Saturday, and was bound over by Justice P. H. Mo Carthy to the next criminal term of the Su- periOr court to be held in Bridgeport in December. In default of S2OO bond he went to jail. It seems that after he had disposed of the wheel he went South and stayed until he thought the matter had blown over. But in this he was disappointed.

TOWN TOPICS IN JUSTICE NC CARTHY'S COURT. JAMES THOMPSON GETS HIS JUST DE-
 SERTS.

James Thompson, for merly of Derby, later of New Haven jail, and later still of Litchfield, came into town on Sun. day, and proceeded at once to get square with John Philip Egan of New town. It appears that almost two years ago Egan prevented the escape of Thompson and friend from the .Newtown lookup, where they had been put by the late Sheriff Glover on
 ne charge of burglary, for which '3hompson spent nine months in New Haven jail. It seems that he met Egan in the Street about D. m., and followed him on his way home, and down in the lot back of the Snoitf
 himself. He was arrested by Sheriff Johnson on complaint of Grand Juro:
 Cannon and brought before Justice Nc Cart 7, Monday morning. The
 fine and costs amounted to BPS. He was unable to pay the same and was committed to jail to work it out. Will liam H. Sanford, who expected to go to New York, Monday, on the first train, was detained as witness. At torney Beecher appeared for the State.

SOCIAL TOPICS.
NO LICENsE.-BY o. o. WRIGHT.

Are we really going to have the privilege, under the law of the state, of making 8 protest, however feeble and unavailing, against the saloon business in this town? Will those who have petitioned for ballot see to it that the necessary conditions are con- piled with so as to make the vote ef- fectual? Or will it prove to be a spasm of virtuous feeling, without the moral courage and good sense to carry the cause through to an actual test? Is there not need enough that some- thing should be done to put check upon the excesses and intolerable bur dens of the drink traffic in this com munity?
 Whether we may look atshe matter from the moral standpoint, or from a purely economic consideFation of the question, is 1t not Won1 while to ex-

THE CONVENTION AND THE
 SCHOOL MATTER.

Ia adjouruing without nominating members of the school board last night, the citizens convention acted properly, wisely and fairly Under the new law women are entitled to vote for school officers, and iJ would be maniiestly un- fair for the men to make nominations that would be equivalent to election at a convention in which the women had no voice. It would have been fair neither to the women or the candidates for places on the schQVl, bOari, pad ths convention proceeded further Than it did. No candidate, who bad permitted the use ot his name last night only to 20 down in defeat, would allow another convention or any number of petition CTS to secure a place for him on the of fcial ballot. As it is now, every aSpir- ant for hou0rs in connection with school affairs is ou an even footing. Any % men or women in the city can by peti- tion have the name of a candidate for school director, school treasurer or school clerk, or the names of candidates for all three positions placed upon the official ballot, and one set of candidates will not have the prestige of having been endorsed by a convention composed of only one class of the electorate.

THAT ADJOURNMENT

Two or three people have seen it to make an uuseemly display of temper because they think the chairman Of last nights convention had no right to entertain a motion to adjourn at the time he did. That the charges of these two or three are entirely without ioun- dation and that the motion to adjourn and the vote upon it were regular and in order are indisputable.
 The facts were these:
 w. B. King moved that the couven- tion dispense with the nomination Of school officers, and that the nomina- tion be left to a subsequent convention at which the women could be present. This motion was seconded and stated by the chair. John Kalem, who with to or 50 others was standing Iu the hdll had been seeking recognition, and he was given the floor by the chairman. Mir. Ealem raised the point that there was DO question before the house, say ing that he understood Mir. King slmF- ly to have made a suggestion. He was put right by the chair, who then recog- nized k. W. Jennings, who had arisen to his feet. Co mak a motion to adjourn. This motion was seconded from all over the house, put and carried by an unaui- nous vote.
 The point is raised that Mr, kalem had the floor and that no man can be recognized Co make amotion to adjourn when another has the floor and Is speak ing in order That the point is correct if the premise were true is known by anyone who knows anything about par Hamentary law, but Mayor Keller, who was in the chair, believed that Mir. Kalem had yielded the floor when he was put straight on his point of order. Mir. Kalem had not sat down, it k true, but half the convention was on its feet because there were no chairs. He had ceased talking. II the chairman were wrong. it was Mr. Kalem's place, in Or- der to hold the floor, simply 10 state that he had not yieldedit If any spec tator believed the mo,ien to adjourn not iu order, it was bis duty to arise to a point of order and state his objection to the proceedings. The chair gave ample time for this before calling for the ayes land nays. None ot these things were done, and the motion to adjourn was carried unanimously.
 After failing to go on record when it vas time to speak, and after assentiug to an adjournment by failing to vote against the motion to adjourn, it seems rather like playing the baby act to go out of a convention and to graruiJously insult the mayor of the city and others by accusing them of perpetratiug "gross ourages' ana in applying "gag law etc, etc

THE FAMOUS PHlLANTHRoPlST
HOPES FOR ULTIMATE sue
CESS OF PLAN.
SAYS RUSSIA WILL WIN
Returning From Trip to Europe Mr..
Carnegie Gives Out Interview in
Which He Says Car viii Emerge
Victorious From the Struggle.

New York, Nov 7.-Prophesying
eventual victory for Russian arms in
the mighty duel between the czar and
the mikado and confidently predicting
an approaching period when the whole
OF Europe would be amalgamated into
ono centralized government, founded
upon the same basic principle as the
United States, Andrew Carnegie on
Sunday sounded the keynote of a re-
markable interview He explained
that he championed The Hague peace
tribunal as the greatest and most en-
during monument of modern civiliza-
ton.
That Mr. Carnegie readily winces un-
der criticism early was apparent, as he
hastened to mention Sir James Kitson,
the distinguished English ironmaster,
as having declared that war was the
only sure cure for war and that he
was inclined to believe The Hague
tribunal idea slightly impracticable.
Between Andrew Carnegie and Sir
James Kitson there is unbridgable diff
ference of opinion on many matters Of
international import.
Trend Is Away From War.
Certain critics of the peace con-
sgrtss have defined the nation as an in
Ldividual many times multiplied" said
Mr.. Carnegie. "On the surface this Is
SO; underneath let us hope it is false.
Why? The time is not so long past
since every able bodied man went
armed, just as did every tribe. 1t is
not long since war-fghting--was the
ordinary occupation of tribes and men
Indeed, even contemporary history
| tells us of instances where warfare
! Is, or was. the only occupation worthy
OF gentlemen. Only women were cham.
pions of peace
But within recent years war has
been steadily discountenanced For
l.merly even the good ST. Francis oi
Assist was one of those who went
! forth to war against the men OF
Perugia. Up to the time of Napoleon
there were 1872 individual nations, each
capable of declaring and prosecuting
war Napoleon consolidated 131 OF
them"

HIS REPLY TO RoosEvELT's LET

FAILURE.
N 0 PROOF OF CHARGES
Even the Democrats Are Discouraged
BY Their Candidates Utter Failure
to substantiate His Accusations Of
President Roosevelt.

New York, Nov. THE effect of
Judge Parker's speech in Brooklyn
Saturday night has proved demo-
cratic damper in New York 1t had
been asserted by men in authority at
democratic headquarters that the dem
ocratic candidate would follow Presi-
dent Roosevelt's letter with circum-
stantial proof of trust contributions.
For week, in fact, there have been
intimations of sensation along this
line, and when, following the publica-
ton of the Presidents letter, Mr.. Par
ker announced that he would add an
other speech in Brooklyn, 1t was ex-
pected that the proofs" of which
there have been so many democratic
dark hints, would be forthcoming.
One of the democratic rumors was
that newspaper friendly to Parker
had evidence of trust campaign con-
tributions in the shape of checks that
had been cashed by the republican ma
tional committee. Where and how this
rumor originated is not to be traced.
No Proofs Are In Sight.

pointing out that their candidate had

Parker Is Not Excused.
They were silent, however, on its
other phases, nor did they attempt to
excuse Mr.. Parker for not specifically

he had made.
