BOOKS ARE SEALED
Consolidated Railway Co WIl Not Allow City a Look at Them.

William B. Boardman, of New Ha- ven, assistant attorney of the Con- solidated railroad, which has just ac- quired control of the trolley rights in this city gave Mayor Thoms and his lieutenants nut to crack this morn- ing which will keep them busy for Il season. Mir Boardman notified City Clerk .Sandland that he had received q copy of the vote passed by the de- pertinent of finance regarding per- centages due the city from receipts of the trolley company's earnings in ex- cess of six per cent, and added that he knew of no contract existing be- tween the city of Waterbury and the Consolidated road, which obliges them to allow the city to examine their books, and concludes by stating that the company declines to comply with the request contained in the res0lu- tion passed by the board of finance and submitted to them by Comptrol- Ter NJ. D. Russell and Commissioner Edward |. McElligott, representing the city government. This of course is in line with what the c. R. x T.. people did, but 1t appears it was nec- essary to put 1t up to the new owners and in order not to run any chances of losing its standing in the courts the matter was attended to a week or so ago. It was expected that they would make fight to prevent an ex- animation of the books and now it is up to the city to take the new owners into the court and see what can be done towards making them stand and deliver.

SCH00LSHIP LEAKING.
Towed Into Harbor at Delaware
 Breakwater Badly Damaged.


 Delaware Breakwater, Del, Feb II, Storm swept and leaking. the Pennsylvania schoolship Saratoga, which left Philadelphia January 22 for winters cruise in the West In dies, was towode into the harbor here yesterday in distress by the tug Asa w. Hughes.
 On January 27, when 200 miles north of Bermuda, the old frigate was struck by a northwest gale, which sent the vessel laundering through the seas which for time threatened to engulf her. For days the Saratoga was hove to- but the seas continued to batter the vessels blunt bow until leak was sprung and the boy sailors began to realize the perils of sea life. Com. mander Atwater put all available hands to the pumps, and, to the young seamen none hesitated to do all possible to assist in bringing the vessel back to port.
 AS the Bermuda Islands were still 200 miles distant, after the storm had spent It's fury, a course was shaped for the Delaware breakwater.
 The Saratoga will be lowed back to Philadelphia as soon as possible for a survey and repairs. There are about sixty boys on the vessel, and they have had an experience they never expected. The Saratoga is an old time war frigate. built at the Portsmouth, N. H., navy yard in 1S42.
