ROBBINS STREET TROLLEY.
Petition Will Be Sent to Aldermen in
 Effort to Bridge the Difference.

An effort is being made to bridge the difference between the city and the trolley company regarding the Robbins street layout, with view to getting the street laid out and worked so that the c. R. & L.. Co may be in position to build the road to Quassapaug and Woodbury this year. At meeting of the di- rectors of the, Waterbury Business Mems association last night the mat ter was discussed and made quite plain that it is something in which everybody who has an interest in the development of Waterbury should concern himself about. It was voted to circulate the following petition for signatures and present the same { to the mayor and board of aldermen: < To his honor the mayor, and the honorable board of aldermen of the city of Waterbury:
 Whereas, the Connecticut Rail- way & Lighting Co has petitioned the city of Waterbury to extend its troll ley line through Robbins street to Lake Quassapaug, Middlebury and Woodbury, and
 Whereas, said city has granted said petition under certain condi- tions imposed upon said company, and
 Whereas, said company regards said conditions as unjust and unrea-. sonable, and has appealed to the railroad commission to adjust it's differences with the city in this mat ter, and
 Whereas, the difference in cost to the city on the one hand, and the company on the other, as apportioned by the city to effect said extension, is not great,
 "Now, therefore, we members of the Business Mems association and citizens and taxpayers, appreciating the great importance to merchants, business men and citizens generally, of trolley extension to neighboring towns, and in this case to Lake Quassapaug, the only pleasure re- sort available to our people, do here by respectfully request your honor and your honorable board of alder men to compromise the differences with said company if possible. This would avoid the delay of four or five years possibly that would occur in case of an appeal by either side, from the decision of said commissioners to the superior and supreme courts, as has happened in like cases hereto fore"
 The directors voted to increase the trolley extension committee from five to ten members. It is now made up as follows: w. J.. Pape, N. R. Bronson, Cornelius Tracy, R. N. BlakesIee, Homer G. Filley, Charles A. Colley, George F. Hughes, John Moriarty, William s. Jones and w. w. Holmes, the five last mentioned being the new members. The com mittee was instructed to request the railroad commissioners to hold the Robbins street hearing, which is set down for next Wednesday, in this city instead of in Hartford.

THE WINDOWS RATTLE. Sas~ sasss' ~@S ssA Attendants at Court House Suffer From-P Poor Ventilation. ,

Some stormy day the pile of terra cotta brick and granite on Leaven- worth street known as the court house building will be blown away. It is only about nine years old, and though it cost about $90,000 it looks to be 100. It is impossible to prop erly ventilate any room without freezing out everybody in it. On windy days it is full of drafts, the windows rattle and make a clamor, the window shades are blown like a ships sails in the wind and snow and rain get in freely between the chinks and window frames. On stormy days like yesterday it is almost i'm possible to hear one speaking with the rattle of the windows, and the walls get soaked with rain and snow The walls in some of the rooms are cracked and black, and every one of them needs a coat of paint. The building needs thorough overhaul ing.

NOT 4 SUICIDE.
Robert J. MoCollum Was Stricken
 With Heart Disease.

Robert J. McCollum, of the firm of R. J. & A. McCollum, proprietors of the Red Cross pharmacy, 20S
 North Main street, died suddenly at his home, 30 Cooke street, last night shortly before midnight. MT McCol- lum had not been iu good health for some time past, but he was able to be at work and was in the store last night until he was relieved by his brother, Andrew J., quarter of an hour or so before closing time. There were several people in the place at the time and at the request of the older brother, Robert went homo while Andrew remained to lock up. There was nothing unusual in his conduct when he left and the broth CT thought nothing of it until short time later when his mother came hurrying to him through the snow and informed him Robert was seri- ously i'll in his room. At that time Andrew J. was shoveling snow from the walk in front of the store and on hearing what his mother had to say he lost no time in getting to the house and saw that his brothers con- dition was serious. Dr Lally was called, but the patient was dead when he got there. pr Graves and Medical Examiner Crane were also called. Owing to some unfortunate misunderstanding 1t got noised around that the man had committed suicide by taking dose of prussic acid, but this Is not so. To-day Dr Crane told a Democrat reporter that there was absolutely no truth in the statement that Robert J. McCollum had died from the effects of prussic acid, that it was not case of sui eide, at least nothing that he had been able to discover would warrant any such conclusion. The immediate cause of death, he said, was heart failure.
 Robert J. McColfum was born in Hartford, but came to Waterbury with his mother and brother ten or eleven years ago. He was for time at Leavenworth & Dikeman's and other places, and later formed partnership with his brother and they appeared to be doing good business. He talked with his mother last night before retiring and ap- peared all right as far as she could see. He was undressing when he was stricken and toppled over. His mother heard the noise and went into his bedroom and found him in dying condition and alarmed her oth- CT son as quickly as possible. What worries me most" said Andrew J. McCollum, lis the statement that he committed suicide and that there was trouble in the family. We new CT had family jar and there is not a thing that anybody could detect to warrant the statement that he took his own life. His heart bothered him and once within week he almost collapsed in the store. When I ask ed what was the matter he put his hand to his side and said his heart troubled him."
 The body was prepared for burial by Undertaken Bergin. MT McCol- lum's father died some years ago and was buried in Calvary cemetery, New York.

OFF WANTS CHARIOT TROPHY
Sues Pasadena Tournament of Roses,
Alleging Vests Illegal
Drivind

Ed r. Off, one of the contestants in
the chariot races held in connection
with the tournament of roses in Pasa-
dena on New Years day, filed suit
against the Pasadena Tournament of
Roses association in the county clerk s
office yesterday for the recovery of
$1,000, which he alleges is due him as
rightful winner of the race.
The complaint alleges that C. c..
West, charioteer for e. j. Baldwin,
another of the contestants in the races,
cut in on the PLAINTIFFS chariot as the
latter reached the pole, causing West
horses to impede the progress of the
plaintiffs, which were driven by Mack
Virgins.
The complaint further alleges that
the alleged action of West was con-
trary to the rules and regulations of
the race, and that because of this al
legged conduct of West, off was the
rightful winner and should have been
awarded the $1,000

SANTA FE ASKS FOR SPUR
Company Wants Use of Sixth and
Mesquite Streets for
Tracks

Undaunted by past defeats the Santa
Fe railroad will again come before the
city council Monday morning and ask
for franchise for spur track.
The latest petition is for a spur from
the north line of Sixth street along
Mesquite to a point 300 feet south of
Sixth street.
This railroad has been before the
council three times in the last few
months asking for spur tracks, and
each time before has been turned down.
About the only courtesy the council
has lately extended the Santa Fe is to
grant a spur to the new plant of the
Republic Iron works. of which the
mayor is president.
What will be the fate of this request
from the Santa Fe was not announced
by any member of the council yes
terday.

Charlotte Corday' with the clever and
polished actor, Kyrle Bellew, now best
known for his 'RafTles,' featured as her
leading man. The great infatuation
and almost doglike devotion of this
really fine actor for Mrs. Potter is well
known in the theatrical world. Long
after they had separated finally, his
rooms were filled with her pictures of
all sorts, sizes and conditions, and he
could not speak of her without his eyes
filling with tears.
Irony of Fate
ut must seem now to the former So
ciety woman and once autocratic ac-
tress, manager and producer, the irony
of fate to realize that her faithful and
humble associate and adorer is a sue
cessful star, while she Is struggling
futilely to regain her hold on the pub
lie by pitiful attempts on the vaude-
vile stage.
"There is an old story told of Bishop
Potter of New York, her former hus-
bands uncle, that will bear repeating.
The famous divine, whose father and
uncle were bishops before him and who
comes OF a race of distinguished clergy
in the Episcopal church, went to his
nephew's wife after she had forsaken
the domestic hearth and the quiet OBJ
scurity of society life (SicD for the pub
licity of the stage, to beseech her to
change her name.
'Whatl' said the beautiful Cora.
Give up the name that have made
famous!'
THAT this unfortunate woman, beaten
and sore as she seems to be, is still
fighting for the name she realizes was
and is her greatest capital, while it
exposes a great poverty in her re-
sources, shows consistency in her
policy that is to be admired, for with
this as u semi-annual or annual adj
vertising medium. she may keep her
frail little craft afloat"

out success. The river IL now In such a
shape that unless something can be done
