Miss Mary Hall of Hartford, a
member of the state board of charities
was refused permission yesterday to
inspect the institution for the blind
on Wethersfield avenue, and met
from the superintendent, Charles III.
Jones, personal resistance, SO violent
that she said she felt her clothing tear
under his grasp. The state law is
plain that the institutions which the
state aids shall be open to inspection
by the board of charities. Miss Hall
has been making inspections of such
institutions in accordance with the
custom of the board, which expects Its
members to maize such Visitations.
She has encountered no opposition
anywhere until yesterday afternoon.
Under the new railroad schedule
which went into effect on Sunday the
Highland division trains began rum
ing to and from Poughkeepsie, the
company having abandoned the pas
senger service to Fishkill and the
Newburgh, Duchess and Connecticut
railroad has re-esta blished a service to
Fishlxill and Newburg to take the place
of that abandoned, but the connections
are not good. By the morning train
west there is wait Of over two hours
at Hopewell Junction and nearly an
hour by the afternoon train. The
trains coming east make close connec-
lions. At the Hudson river, however,
the connections has not yet been ar
ranged for the best convenience of the
travellers. If one wishes to- go to
Newburgh it is now necessary to leave
the railroad at Matteawan and take a
trolley car to Fishlkill village, where
the ferry for Newburgh starts. At
Duchess Junction, the terminal of the
Duchess railroad, however, good con-
nections are made with the New York
Central trains, but for passengers
from Connecticut it will be an advant-
age to go to Poughkeepsie for that con-
nection.
