TROLLEYMAN IS BLIND
Pathetic Scene at Trolley conpasy's 0ffiee--.
 Motornan Led in by Wife.

New Haven. March 3.--COurtney I. Pickett of 119 Ellsworth avenue. for the past five years motorman on the Consolidated Railway Cos lines in this city. yesterday walked into the office of the company on Chapel street and reported that he was blind and could work no more. Mr Pickett was ac- companied/by his wife. who was lead ing him, and it is doubtful if the af- fiicted man will ever recover his sight.
 Mir Pickett is one of the best known and most popular of the motormen on the local trolley system and the great est sympathy is expressed for him by those who were regular patrons on his car. For nearly his entire term of ser vice he has had ear on the Branford division of the system. His eyesight began to fail about two weeks ago. Realizing the seriousness of his affiic- ton and his duty to the company, he reported the matter to the proper au- thority and leave of absence was granted him by Superintendent Judge with the hope that rest for his eyes would result in the restoration of his sight. However. instead of improving. his trouble has grown more serious. despite the services of the best eye spe- cialists. and today Mir Pickett is total ly blind.

HAVE A GRIEVANCE
People in Eastern Section Want
 Better Trolley Accommodation.

The people of the eastern section are little sore over the treatment which they have been receiving of fate from the employees of the trolley com pany. It is well known fact because of the many incidents which have hap 'pened of late, that the motormen and conductors on this line suit themselves and do not seem to care much about the service they give their patrons. It has reached such state that the cars pass right by person standing, when ever the motOrman or the conductor imagines that The has no time to stop. Within the past week lady residing on East Main street signalled three cars, and although she was waiting al, a white pole the cars flew by without making any pretense of stopping. The service, so the residents assert, has been fairly good up until short time ago, but since then 1t has gone to the bad. The cars travel along the street faster than on other lines in the ely and perhaps this is the reason why the men in front do not care to delay to pick up passenger. The east end people think their nickels are as goo1 as those of other parts of the city and expect good service as long as they pay for it. The car which leaves the center at I minutes to twelve, former ly reaching the switch at Rutledge street about F o'clock, now waits ten minutes at the switch at Hayden street to take on passengers from Sco- wills. Of course it is good thing for the factory hands, but as it inconven- fences others who arrive home little earlier, it would seem that an extra car could be sent out.
 The officials of the company have been notified of the poor service and the east end people expect to see some results come from their complaints.

A PATIENT CONDUCTOR.
What a Trolleyman Got for Taking
 Pay for a Dogs Ride.

Eds TUT u lUS hiut.
 She got aboard Zion street car, says the Hartford Courant, about 6:3O o'clock last evening, followed by A snow-white Spitz dog, and after taking q seat in the middle of the car divided the skirt of her tailor made coat so that her pet could sit on her lap, which he did. assisted to his com fortable seat by her gloved hands. After the car had got fairly started down Main street the conductor col lected his fares and It was then that the passengers, who could not refrain from casting approving glances at the outfit. were shocked, startled, slammed as it were.
 The conductor took a dime from her extended hand and rang up two fares Just as he did this and extended his hand to another passenger, holding on meantime to the register cord so as to remove any suspicion that his reach was not good. the passengers heard, as did also the conductor:
 Here. conductor, where's my changer
 ''I took for the dog. ma'am."
 Why didn't you ask for my permit! How dare you take for the dog; What kind of conductor are you. anyhow; Why didn't you wait until I got out my purse; Why do you charge for a dogT and a lot more interrogations were fired at the conductor. all in one breath. and the poor fellow couldn't get in word edgeways.
 The conductor tried f0 explain that it wasn't his fault that she didn't tell him that she had permit for the ani- nal: that. as the newspapers had noted recently. no more permits would be is- would charge cash fares for the ami mals. and that it didn't make any diff ference anyhow. as a dog permit costs ! cents and the next time she rode she could pay a permit for him. No. that wasn't it. He ought not Co have for the dog: he ought tO have asked her for a permit. he ought to have known that she had a permit in her purse: 1t wasn't any way to treat a lady. and so on.

TRANSFERS GOOD
Orders Issued. To-day to Accept
 Them on Cheshire Line.

Trolley transfers for the Cheshirs line are now good from all cars, and. at all times. Orders to that effect were issued at noon to-day to all trol- ley conductors, and they are the result of n series of conferences between City Attorney Kellogg and officials of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co. It is quite Il victory for the city and a sensible arrangement for the company, for big lawsuit has been averted in which the company would assuredly have been made to keep to its agree ment with the city to accept transfers from all cars at all times on the Che shire extension

Bill Regulating Naturalization of For.
 eigners Makes Changes.
