POOR .H.fN'S LUXURY.
The Modern Motor Boat PrOTides
1t at Little Cost.

The development Of the gasolene engine has
worked a revolution in TWO great national
pastimes- The automobile has in ! large meas
ure replaced the carriage and pair and even The
horse and buggy OF former DAYS. The motor
boat has not only ousteG the steam yacht 10 a
large extent hut has gained votaries among
thousands who were never able 10 afford the
expense Of steam driven pleasure craft.
Motoring upon land is still the paStiinc Of the
wealthy in spite Of the rapid improvement Of
the motor car. not 50 much because Of the size
Of the original investment in 4 scrviceable ma

quent expense of maintenance Motoring upon

millionaires who indulge in magnificent floating
palaces in which speed is secured with a mini
mum sacrifice Of space. that comfort and
luxury may he INDUCED in to an extent iInpos-

same money. It has also its enthusiasts, who
for the modest expenditure Of few hundred
dollars are able to enjoy the possession Of boat
in which both speed and comfort are combined
New-York tribune., 1907-12-08

But il is in the subsequent cost OF maintenance
that the motor boat has the great advantage
over its land competitor, the automobile. If
one is anxious to equip his modern automobile
with all the luxuries invented. the cost is nearly
equal to the original investment in the machine
itself. Similar convepences and comfort for
motor boa,ing can be had at i comparatively
tTifiinC expense.
The Development CT the speed Of the motor
boat has brought into service a type Of safe
ana seaworthy craft that can be naviEated by
onc not familiar with technical engineering
matters. Thys" boats range in size all the way
from the siXtrs n-foot craft costing 500 u the
thirty and forty foot eeacoinC motor boats cost
ing several thousand dollars. Between these
extremes there is u great variety of boats cost

 Trolley.

Waterbury, Nov 29.~ Five were al- most instantly killed and twenty -four others were more or less seriously in tured at $40 this morning when a "doubleheadedf' freight train ran into a trolley car at the West Main street crossing in this city. The car carry ing twenty-nine passengers, most of whom were employees of the American Pin company, at Oakville.
 J. K Punderford, general manager of the Connecticut company, and J. &, Pollock, superintendent of the High land division, arrived here at il a. m. to conduct the preliminary investiga- ton into the cause of the disaster, but owing to the deputy coroner's inquest here had been already started it was impossible for them to make much headway
 Gen. Manager Punderford stated last night that there would be vigorous investigation undertaken tomorrow by himself, Supt. Pollock, c. s. Lake, SUI perintendent of the Naugatuck divls- ion and H. L. Wales, the superintend- ent of the local system.
 "The testimony we have already taken is so conflicting that it will be necessary to go thoroughly into the matter tomorrow, and we have ar ranged conference for 9:15 a, m"

FINANCE BOARD
 REVIEWS PROOFS
(contlnued from First Page. }

(Continued from First Page,) The vote is regarded as more or less of a formality in the proceeding, it having been possible to take this final vote at the session yesterday.
 The tax rate of IA 3-4 mills has practically been determined. George w. Lewis of the board said that the increases made had good deal to do with this boosting of the tax rate from 13 1-2 mills.
 At the session yesterday afternoon it was decided to give to Miss Eliza beth Hugo, the daughter of Sheriff Philip Hugo, an increase of salary of from $936 to $1,O0O. Her salary has been standing at the first named figure for number of years, and as she is one of the most faithful attaches in the city hail it was thought proper to recognize her worth at this time, and in this way. She is employed in Town Clerk Whittaker's office.
 The board of finance has for the last few months sedulously avoided action upon the payment of the sal aries of John J. Scally and George Mccarthy, who claims to be the legit- innate enrolment officers of New Ha- ven. Each wants $500 for a years work in making an enrolment of those who are required to pay mill tary tax.
 The existence of these two enroll ment officers is due to the old fight in the aldermanic board a year ago when the republican members named John J. Scally as the enrolment officer. Mccarthy at that time had been the enrolment officer, and the appoint ment of Mir Scally by the republicans he contended did not affect his stand ing as an incumbent of that office. He is a democrat, and the democratic members of the aldermanic body sup ported him in this contention. Corpo- i ration Counsel Leonard M. Daggett

 MT. Bryan spoke encouragingly to the delegates of the league present, and thanked them for the support given him. It will be remembered that at the time of Mir.

 Colonel Drinkwater offered a reso- lution affirming the movement led by Perry Belmont for the presentation of resolutions to the coming congress up- on publicity in campaign contribu- ! tions. The league pledged itself to urge the enactment of federal law requiring the publication of campaign contributions before election. A res olution introduced by ex-Governor Garvin of Rhode Island relating to the amendment of state constitutions was also approved. This speaker also urged the adoption of the initiative and referendum, movement which he declared is fast gaining headway in his state.

TOOK ALDERMAN
 F0R A BURGLAR

To a fortuitous circumstance Alder man David L. Davis of 22S Shelton avenue, owes his narrow escape from being arrested by Police Sergeant Michael J. Connolly of the Dixwell ave- nue precinct as a burglar last night. He had been seen lurking about Sher- man avenue and Percival street at g o'clock by the police sergeant, who, not recognizing him in the stygian dark ness that prevails whereabouts, con- cluded he was suspicious person, and perhaps a housebreaker, about to se- cretly enter one of the houses with the aid of jimmy. He had in mind at the time the burglarles at the houses of Professor Thomas D. Goodell, Rich mond R. Harris and L. L. Rosenberg Thursday night,
 After shadowing the alderman for a short while he decided that 1t would be wise to give him an opportunity to operate, if that was his real intention. Alderman Davis about this time dis appeared.
 A few minutes later the police ser &eGuE Fdppeu at lle QUOT Ol uil6 resi- denoe of M. F, Shanley in Sherman avenue. He w1~sed to know if Mr. Shanley had seen a dark complexioned individual with heavy black mous- tachesl lurking about the corner.
 Yes" said MT. Shanley; Ines up stairs in my house right now His name is Alderman Davis"
 Police Sergeant Connolly said some thing about procuring an automatic kicking arrangement for personal use, as he retired in confusion.
 It appears that the automobile in which the party took the trip had talk en fire in Hazel street and this had clused a delay of about one hour oveI the scheduled time for arriving where Davis was waiting. The consequence was that he was kept lowering about the dark spot looking for the rest ot the committee during which time tn vigilant sergeant spotted him an, l thought he had victim coming.

 The letter of MT, Miller also alludes to the action of the board of fire com missioners in supporting the request of a raise for the chief at public hear ing last week In the letter appears a sentence, through which light line is drawn. This sentence reads;
 Another thing the commissioners failed to tell your committee was that on Sunday the chief was not on duty only in case Of bell alarm of fire"
