LONG LIVED PENSIONERS.
THREE PERSONS DRAWING REVo-
LUTIONARY WAR PENSIONS.
One Survivor and 1900 Widows of
Soldiers of War of 1912 Are
Now on the Rolls.

Government pensioners, it appears
from the records, live to ripe old
age Notwithstanding their disabilities;
and in many instances their pensions
live after them. Thus it occurs that
Notwithstanding the last survivor of
the revolutionary war died thirty
seven years ago at the age of upwards
of los years there are still three revo-
lutionary war pensioners on the rolls.
They are widows of soldiers, married
in the old age of their husbands, and
each of them is considerably past the
mark of so years. Pensioners of the
war of 1872 are numerous, though
there is but one actual survivor of
that war drawing a pension. He is
Hiram Cronk of New York state, and
will be los years old in April. For
more than an average lifetime Mr..
Cronk has been drawing q pension
from the government for serving three
months and eight days in the Ameri-
can army just as the war of 1872 was
drawing to a close. There are up
wards of 1,500 widows of soldiers
drawing 1872 pensions, and some 5000
widows drawing Mexican war pen
SiOnS.
Since the lives of pensions run so
long a pertinent inquiry is, how long
will it be before the governments pen
sion burden will be appreciably light
ened? The practice of young girls
marrying old men in order that they
may inherit their pensions has become
rather common throughout the north
and west. At least two commissioners
have referred to the matter in their
annual reports. There are some young
women, it seems, who are well pleased
to pick out an old soldier with one
foot in the grave and marry him so
that when he is dead the grateful gov
eminent will continue it's largess to
her as his widow. Thus, if we still
have widow pensioners from the revo-
lutionary war and the war of 1912 it
is reasonable to suppose that during
the next hundred years we shall have
widow pensioners from the war OF
1925 and the war of 1898.

T,ost His MONEY. just the Same.

In New York the other night man
lost $40, 900 in a card game. Just what
the game was seems to be rather a
disputed point. One paper says II
was ''penuchle," another says ''peno-
cle.', another "penuckle," another
s'pinochle, and still another pea
nokle." But, whatever the game,
there seems to be unanimity in the as
sertion that the man lost the money.

California will be distinguished by

Missouri has it's Senator Stone, and In.

they do not compare in hardness with
Flint. Maryland can claim the softest

BOSTON MAN INJURED.

Struck by Bridge Between Here and
 Providence and Lay Suffering in Car
 for Many Hours.
 While stealing a ride from Providence on the roof of a freight train yesterday morning Charles Richards, of Boston, was struck by bridge somewhere be- tween this city and Providence and was badly injured about the head and shoulders. Fortunately, however, he was thrown back onto the roof of the -car, so that he escaped instant death. Although badly injured, he managed to crawl into box car and was carried to this city as far as the Cedar Hill yards, where one of the train crew closed the door of the car and locked him in for several hours. He was in the car about five hours before his cries were heard, when he was removed to Grace hospital in the ambulance. It is believed that he will be confined to the hospital for some time. "

Local Committee Planning for a Big Celebration on. the Fourth.
 The committee of the Trades Coun- ] ell, having in charge the management
 of the trip to Hartford on the Fourth
 of July, wish to announce to the pub I tic in general that they have completed all arrangements for that day. l We scarcely need remind the friends lfof organized labor that the eyes of the country are watching the movement,
 and the more numerous our ranks on | these occasions the more thoroughly will the public at lage. be impressed I with the growth of the Trades, Union sentiment. Only when opportunities of | this sort are offered may we hope to show to the general public that so far from waning, the spirit that underlies
 the labor rnovementsis growing stron-
 ger from day to day. The orderly | marching of the host of workers on the
 Fourth of July is a challenge to those | who might be disposed to question the
 motives that actuate us in appealing I to legitimate methods for the better
 ment of industrial conditions.
 For, this year's Fourth of July de
 montration the Hartford Central La
 bor Union has exerted itself as never before to make the day a memorable
 one; the programme of athletic eve ts I will have special interest for all, in-
 cluding, as it does base ball games,
 running, obstacle, jumping, hurdle, bi-
 cycle races, tug of war, base ball match
 teams from the factory league, tug of war contest for one hundred dollars,
 sterling trophy, one hundred dollas in I gold for the three unions having the | largest number of men in line, fifty dol
 lars to the first, thirty dollars to the second and twenty dollars to the third. I, Silver cup to the union making the best appearance in line. A large or chestra will furnish music for free dan
 cling. The Governors Foot Guards Band will render a choice programme
 of popular music during the afternoon I at the park. A beautiful silk banner
 will be given the most popular union. Arrangements have been made to run
 excursion trains from Bridgeport, Dan- ! bury, Meriden, Springfield and sur-
 rounding towns. It is hoped that labor
 men will not neglect the opportunity to
 participate in what promises to be the
 biggest ard most influential demon- | stration that has bsen known in the 1 industrial history of Connecticut.
 A special train will leave Union depot ! on the morning of the Fourth of July
 at S:15 a. rn., returning will leave Hart
 ford at 7:15 p. m. Fare, for the round | trip ninety cents.

THE eur" PROBLEM To-NIGHT.

Plan for Concert of Action by City and
 Railroad.
 Corporation Counsel Daggett said yesterday:
 "A resolution will be >resented to the board of aldermen tonight which, if adopted, will make it possible for the railroad company and the city to agree Upon some satisfactory solution of the cut problem. This move is the result of a communication from President Mellen, made in answer to the question whether any reopening of the matter was possible.
 He now states that he will reopen negotiations, provided there will be a duly authorized commission of not more than three persons, the action of two of whom shall be conclusive, au- thorized to speak for the city and to conclude a contract. It is, of course, eviden& that for such 8 commission leg islative authority must exist

terly, Rhode IslanA, extending through the towns Of StcningtOn, to Ledyard, to Preston, to Norwich, to Franklin, to Windham, to Mansfield, to Chapin, to Ashford, to Eastford, to Woodstock and finds an exit into Massachusetts.
 'eThese are the principal trunk lines starting at Ihe old Boston Post road, and extending from the southern to the northern Tart of the state. There are, however, only a very few main trunk 1 lines running from east to west.
 ''Dhe first and most available trunk line running from east to west, begins at the state line of Rhode Island and extends westerly through the town Of Putnam, Pomfret, Eastford, Ashford, Wilmington, Holland, Vernon, Manches- ter, East Hartford, Hartford. West Hartford, Avon, New Hatford, Win chester, Norfolk, North Canaan, and finds an exit at the northern boundary line of the town of Salisbury into Mas sachusetts.
 The second trunk line should be very popular as it very nearly divides the state, although not quite. It be- gins at the state line, at the town of Sterling, extending through Plainfield, Canterbury, Scotland, Windham, Leb- anon, Columbia, Andoyer, Bolton, Man chester, East Hartford, Hartford, West Hartford, Pennington, Burling- ton, Harwinton, Litchfield, Warren and Kent, and finds an exit into New York state. This highway when completed should be a very popular highway, as it is not only very direct road, but it crosses a part of the state that is very thickly populated, and it would furnish a very pleasant and convenient access to all of the railroad centers for the transportation of freight.
 "The third trunk line, from east to west, begins at the state-line, in the town of Killingly, extending througil the town to Brooklyn, Hampton, Scot land, Windham, Lebanon, Columbia, Hebron, Marlborough, Chatham, Port and, Middletown, Middlefeld, Meriden, Cheshire, Waterbury, Midd1ebury, Woodbury. Roxbury, Washington, New Milford, through Sherman into New York state.
 These fourteen trunk lines are prae- tically the principal highways of the state. All other highways leadinginto these fourteen roads are branch high- ways, either going between the large business centers or finding outlet into these main trunk lines,
 '"The direction of each of these trunk linss is fairly accurate, although not absolutely so, as the very small scale of the map will only allow of general direction in the mapping out of the lines taken by the highways. but they are sufficiently correct to furnish an, in- telligent idea of the main highways upon which the state has been using state and town money during the last ten years.
 If a separate and special appropria 1 tion were made to be used exclusively l by the commissioners for the compile ton of said trunk lines, that the state has been at work on for several years, it could be step in the right diree- tion.' tr %..f. t-. 3.s, ae tEt> '
