TEAR UP THE ROAD
Drivers from Hamden Com plain of the Method of
 Macadamizers.

Drivers of teams which come from Centerville, Cheshire and Hamden to this city are complaining of the bad road alongside of Lake Whitney. The road has been torn up in order that it may be macadamized, and instead of digging up half the street for a short distance, the drivers say that all along the road the Italian laborers have dug up the whole width, so that it is hardly possible to get horse and wagon through.
 In addition, they say that the work was started too late to get it finished this year and so the road will be in bad condition all through the winter

stamboul, La, Oct 16.-If President Roosevelt had been stationed a few hundred feet further south than he was yesterday he would possibly have pro- cured the bear he came to the Missis- sippi canebrakes to slay. ..

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Vote on the Directors Liable to Take
 Place To-day.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The meeting of the Illinois Central stockholders which was called at noon to-day was finally ad- journed late in the afternoon until g o'clock to-morrow morning. No vote on the directors was taken and it is possible that none will be reached be- fore late tomorrow. It is generally expected, however, that the early ses- sion will see the new directorate estab- lished. The delay was caused by the inability of three election inspectors who were appointed to act as a com mittee on credentials in considering the proxies, to finish their work. The ad- journment was taken after an earnest tilt between William Nelson Cromwell MT Harriman's leading counsel, and James A. Patten, a prominent member of the Chicago board of trade.

MARLBOROUGHs
ARE SEPARATED
Duke and Duchess Have Reached
a Settlement Without Aid
of Courts.
ROYALTY INTERVIEWED IN CASE
Duke Will Retain 100000 a
Year, Settled on Him by
His Wife.

LONDON, January 1e.-The confer
ences which have recently been going on
| between relatives, lawyers and others
concerning the differences between the
Duke and Duchess OF Marlborough have
resulted in an arrangement by which
their affairs will not be brought before
the courts, and separation will ba
affected SO as to avoid publicity. This
was largely brought about through the
Intervention OF royalty. which Is friendly
to both sides. and DESTROYS of averting
public proceedings involving the ancient
ducal house.
While the present status of affairs
cannot be set forth officially or authori-
tatively, owing to a natural desire to
avoid discussion. yet the following,
gathered from well-informed sources. is
believed to embody the most essential
features of the arrangement:
Through the Intervention of the Mar
auis of Lansdowne who Is the Duke OF
Marltoroush's uncle, the duchess has
been induced to take a position favora-
BILE to an adjustment.
Keep Blerheim Open.
According to the present arrangement
the duke and duchess will live apart, the
duke retaining blellUeiilt fdidce eHllielS,
and continuing to enjoy the 100000 year
settled upon him by the duchesss family,
with the custody of their two sons for six
months each year. the control OF their
education until they become Of age, and
the choice Of their professions. On the
other hand. the duchess will enjoy the
use of the Marlborough family jewels,
and will have precedence as dukes wife,
with the right to take her sons with her
to any part of the continent during their
holidays without Interfering with their
studies after the age of fourteen. It is
also said that the agreement exacts that
the boys shall not be taken to America
for an extended period until they reach
the age to choose a place of residence
for themselves.
Blenheim will not be closed as at first
intended, and the duke will continue to
live there instead Of at Woodstock House,
where he proposed to make his head
quarters when he decided to let his an
cestral home. The duchess. however. has
Withdrawn her collection OF Sevres china,
books and bronzes. antique furniture and

riage.
Mrs. Oliver III. P Belmont who has
been with the duchess for the past five
weeks, has done her best to further
an understanding between her daughter
and the duke. She is still with the
former at Sunderland House. where Oliver
H. z. Belmont is also staying.
