Kali Adt's palace here, In reply to the
demand by some Of the people to sell
his wheat, he replied, Let the people
eat dirt. He was offered two krans a
batman, equivalent to $1.2o a bushel,
for his wheat, but refused to sell at
that price, demanding four krans and
more, $3.50 a bushel Once he promised
to sell at $1.2O and then went back On
his word, He had been warned many
times that he would be killed if he
would not sell. For nearly nine months
he and other wealthy grain owners have
received word that they must sen Peo-

Yesterday morning at 10, while

George Dudley Seymour, secretary of

OPEN ELECTRIC LINES.
Suburban Trains ON New Haven Road
After Sunday.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company will begin
operating it's suburban trains by cleo
tricity next Sunday. After that date
there will be no more steam locomotives
run through the Park avenue tunnel
except the switch engines.
The electric trains will be run be-
tween Grand Central station and New
Rochelle until August l, when it Is in
tended to extend the service to Port
Chester, and by September | the COM
pany hopes to be running electric trains
between New York and Stamford The
steam locomotives hauling the express
trains will be switched off at New Ro-
chelle and the trains run into the Grand
Central station by electricity.
II is said that the company contem-
plates no change In the running sched-
ule or number Of trains until steam IS
entirely done away with as far o
Stamford, after which more suburbs.t.
trains will be put on and the running
time Of all trains, both local and ex-
press, will be considerably reduced
The company will begin the service
with thirty-fve 1,000-horse power mot
ors capable of drawing a train of ten
coaches at an average speed of seventy
five miles an hour. The Westinghouse
company, which has installed the over
head system on the New Haven road,
has thoroughly tested 1t and says that
1t does not expect any damage or diff
Guilty with the new system. 1t says
that the only possible danger could
come from the breaking of the wires
carrying the electric current, and these
have been tested and found to be cap
able of sustaining weight of 140 tons.
The wires recently withstood two ex-
traordinary tests at Mount Vernon,
where a freight car jumped the tracks
and was thrown against them without
causing a break, and in another part of
the city where a planning mill burned
the flames were within six feet of the
wires, but did not melt them.

deavor to learn the Identity of the per-
Sons who set fire to the Lyme church
which was recently burned to the
ground. It is generally conceded that
the destruction of the church ediice
was the work of firebugs. No definite
clues have been discovered.
Those who are directing the efforts
of the state police intimate that the fire
was set either by boys in spirit of
malicious mischief or by someone who
wished the fire to communicate to other
property.
