NEW HAVEN ROAD CAINER
THROUGH B. & M. MERGER
Believed That Massachusetts Line Will be Leased at
 Seven Per Cent.

Although it is believed in railroad circles that when the Massachusetts legislature finally allows the New Ha> ven road to merger the Boston and Maine it will be through lease of not less than per cent, it is stated that this proposition will be worth sev- eral millions to the New Haven com pany.
 In an interview accorded a New Eng land capitalist identified with railroad interests, has the following to say on the matter.
 If the New Haven is finally obliged to adopt the lease method to secure control of the Boston and Maine, the practical operation of the lease would work to the advantage of the New Ha- ven in several ways. For instance, the New Haven could retain the Boston and Maine stock it has already acquir- ed and give to the minority stockhold- CTS of the Boston and Maine per cent. guaranteed stock AS guaran- tCSu otOChs DOoLOil ShIlu hdlHe COInIilOH would, of course, sell practically on g bond basis, or, say, $1S0 to $190 per share in normal market conditions. IT this event the problem of financing Boston and Maine construction work would not be nearly so burdensome tc the New Haven as though the merger was complete and the New Haven were obliged to issue it's own 8 per cent stock for this purpose, for the guar. anteed Boston and Maine stock would command from $2O to $9O more in tht market relatively than the New Ha. ven stock.
 Furthermore, under a long time lease the New Haven would have nc need of retaining its Boston and MaiO shares, which it could sell as guaran, teed stock at handsome profit above the cost price

MILITIA DRAWS PAY.
Wages of Soldiers Means Big Expense
 to the State.

A modern philosopher will tell you
 that to the average man who takes q
 vacation 1t means money out of his
 pocket Ask a member of the New
 Haven militia how his vacation affected
 his purse, and he will assert that it
 means a neat little salary for him.
 During the past two days the state has
 been paying them all off, for their ar
 duous military duties performed at
 Camp Woodruff.
 None seemedto at all bashful about
 accepting money from the benet1cent
 old commonwealth, and almost all of
 them were on hand when their turn
 came to welcome the man with the money There was even necessity now and then of repressing the too eager
 ones who seemed to think that they had run the limit of endurance by
 waiting three weeks for their pay. Meanwhile the humble taxpayer may find a few figures interesting. The wage maintenance of the infantry for week in camp calls for a wage ex- penditure of over S6,000. Captains re- ceive s5 per day, first lieutenants get I$4.17. second lleutenants $8.S9, first ser geants S2.50, sergeants $2, corporals, S1.75, and urtvates $150. These wages are generally considered entirely fair, To those who treat their work at camp as a vacation trip and really delight | full outing, the money comes as well come addition to their regular incomes, whileto those who have taken the week | as a long period of arduous toil the | money comes as well earned and de- served remuneration for services per- 1 formed.

--a@l-a7777-77777 DAY OF ACCIDENTS.
Band Luck at Bristol Broken by Man
 Who Falls Heir to $25,0O0.

Bristol Aug. 23-Y esterday was a seriesl story of accidents in this town. All day long the local physicians were busy on accident cases of a more or less serious nature, and people began to fear that an epidemic of some kind of i'll luck had struck the city. Among the more seriously injured was J. r. Crane, who, true to his name operates a big travelling crane at the foundry. He caught his hand in some of the cogs and as result he will lose all but one of his fingers, while the whole hand Is severely bruised. ! A railroad employe named Frank Dominic, was another victim. He fell under a hand car which was being used by a gang of laborers, and every bone in his foot and ankle was broken when he was picked up.
 A third chapter in the series occur red when Nicholas Powell, also rail road employe, was buried alive under landslide at one of the deep cuts. He was dug out after some hours work, more dead than alive. It will be several days before he will be able to get out again.
 Several minor accidents occurred later in the day.
 The spell was finally broken by a la borer named John Mullen. He was just finishing his days work at the southern portion of the railroad ex- cavation, when he was approached by a stranger, who proved to be lawyer who told Mullen he had fallen heir to a large fortune in Boston. This piece of good news seemed to counterbal- ance the accidents, as no further un- fortunate occurrences were reported during the remainder of the day. Null len went to Boston to-day to look into the matter of his good luck, It is said that the bequest amounts to about i S25, 900.

Attitude of Railroads
Toward Commissions.

The attitude of the railroads IN in
diana just at this time is deserving
Of special notice, and furnishes an
example which the railroads OF other
states might follow with profit TO
themselves, and to the public seneI-
ally
The railroad commission of Indiana
has made twenty-One recommends
tions 70 the legislature of that state.
and the meat of them all is to bestow
upon the commission the power to
carry into effect its rulings. The rail
roads realized that the people were
determined to act in the matter and
sought conference with the railroad
commission, which is described by
the indianapolis News as follows:
Several years ago the. commission
vas informed by the chief counsel
Tor one of the roads that he had
been in the east and had roDSuIf-
ed with the head officers Of his line as
We'll as with the officials of some OF the
other bIS systems on the subject OK 'eSiS-
lation in Indiana ana that the sentiment
by all of them was that the roads should
not oppose any legislation in Indiana that
was reasonable. II was suggested that
the commission call a conference between
It's members and representatives Of the
railroads at which time the proposed leg
iSlatiOn should be discussed Tn. com
mission followed the suggestion and a Few
DAYS ago the conference was held in the
state house.
II the railroads wOuh change their
policy of fighting every thing done by
the railroad commissions and come in
closer touch with these bodies. there
would be less friction between them,
and hence less litigation By them.
We commend the policy OF the rail-
roads of Indiana 10 the systems oper-
aung in Florida, and believe they
would render better service 20 the
people, and receive more considera-
ton from them, if they would get in
closer touch with the Florida railroad

A TOURIST
The Journal takes pleasure in an
swering the above questions, in the
order in which they are asked, as fol-
lows:
1-Mardi GraS is from the French
and its literal meaning is Fat Tues
day" 1t is generally known, in Sec
tons where it is not celebrated with a
carnival, as 'ShrOve Tuesday" and is
described by Webster as the last day
of Carnival" before the commence
ment of the Lenten season, when all
hiIarity is unseemly. The celebra-
ton is, in effect, the final wind up Of
the mirth and frivOlity of the year as
a precursor TO donning the ''sackcloth
and ashes" of lent. 1t was trans
planted from France to this country
by the early French settlers, being
first celebrated at New Orleans and
later being taken up by Pensacola
and Mobile
2-There is no particular signiii-
canoe to the King, except that a my
casion. For the same purpose his
identity is kept a secret until the I'M
masking at the grand Carnival bail.
3-See answer to question number
one.
4-Confetti is, according 10 the Stand
ard Dictionary, the plural form of the
Italian word, 'confetto,' which means
a bonbon. or sweetmeat 1t was the
custom in the old Italian carnivals
for those who participated in the
street pageanJs to throw bonbons. or
sweetmeats, tconfettD from their
carriages, chariots. or mystic floats,
to the people in the street. and the
practice is still followed to certain
extent, through small pieces of paper,
or what We call confetti" is now used
to represent the bonbons which were
formerly used.
We are unable to see where the
fun of throwing the present kind of
confetti comes in, but it must be fun
or people wouldn't do it. The fun is
simply a matter of taste or opinion.
