Manchester. \. H.. Jan 1.-wltb the formal opening to-day of the line Of the new Goff's Falls, Litchheld and Hudson Electric railroad the last gap in trolley connection between Boston and Concord, N. H, is filled and hereafter it will be possible to cover the entire distance of $ m;iies between the two capitols by trolley The entire trip will require between nve and six hours, following t.,a banks of the Merrimac river. most or the way between Lowell and Con cord. The connecting lines covering the route are the Boston & Northern Hudson, Pelham & Salem; Manches- ter: Concord & Manchester; Concord. and Goffs Falls, 1tchfield X Hud- son Electric railways.
 The GOffs Falls, Litchfeld & Hud- son roads establishes the first trol- ley connection between Manchester S Nashua, the two principal manrfac- turing cities of New Hampshire If Is planned to make the running time between the two cities exactly one hour for the eighteen miles, although the trial trip made last week by off, cials of the road and guests was ac- complished in 43 minutes. As the new line runs largely through priyate ground with few street crossings, it will be possible to make high speed over many portions of it. Another feature is the fact that the road is practically level and has few curves.
 The line is largely controlled by the Manchester Traction Light & Power company, from which concern 1t se- cures its power.

Prisoner Makes . False key Out ola Broom Handle and Un-
 locks Jail Door
NOT YET CAPTURED
His Wife Who Was With Him Was Scared By the Jail Dog
 and Returned to Cell.

Bennington, Vt, Jan 1.--Ingenious- ly making false key out of broom handle, E. c. Smith, said to be of Boston, Mass, escaped from the county jail here early to-day. and, with half an hours start over the oficers. made his way. 1t is thought. towards the New York state line. A woman who is said to be the mans wife. and who was with him in the cell, also tried to escape, but was frightened by. the barking of the warden's bulldog and aftet getting outside the jail returned while her husband continued his dash for lib erty.
 Smith and his wife had been held in the local institution on charge of forgery. The man claimed to repre- sent the commisson house of A. M. Smith & Co of Boston, and upon re- ceipt of goods would hand dealer a check drawn for an amount in excess of the bill, receiving the balance in cash. Suspicion was aroused that the checks were not genuine and after an investigation the man was held for the next session of the Benning- ton county grand jury, with woman companion who is said to be his wife.
 The couple occupied the same cell and this morning Smith made use of key which he had fashioned from broom handle. It successfully un- locked the cell door and in the corri- door the prisoner found jailer's coat hanging up. From this he took re- voiver and with his movements as yet undetected he and his wife unbolted the outer door of the jail and stepped outside. The sharp ears of the war den's bulldog, however. caught the sound of their exit and he set up furious barking. The woman's cour- age failed at this and thinking that with the jail 70 quickly aroused she would enly haparer, her husbands movements she returned to her cell, closing the doors behind her and threw herself on her couch as if asleep. Meantime the warden and the jail Attendants, aroused by the watch dogs uproar. hurried from their rooms. Mir and Mrs Smith were the only prisoners confined at the time and nasty glance into their cell showed Mrs Smith apparently asleep. Mir Smiths absence was not discovered for half an hour, when posse started at once on his trail.

TEXT OF NEW FRENcH BILL.
Supplementary Church Separation
 Measure Passed by Senate.


 The text of the supplementar, church and state separation bill which has passed the French senate and which is backed by the Frencl government, is as follows:
 Article I. Independently of thu associations contemplated by the law of December g, 1905, public worship can be held by means of associations under the law of July l, 1901, as vel as in virtue of the public meeting law of June 30, 1881, under indi vidual initiative.
 Article H.. Even in default of tho cultural associations provided for by the law of December 8, 1905, the usage of edifices intended for wor. ship, as well as the furniture con. tained therein, shall remain at the disposition of the faithful and of the clergy for the practice of their re ligiOn. The free usage of the churches may be accorded either to associations formed under the law oi Juy 1, 1901, or to clergy designated under the declarations prescribed by article 25 of the law of December g, 1905. This usage. however, shall be made under the conditions stated in article 13 of the last mentioned law, by means of an administrative act either by the prefect. for the property placed under seQuester, when such property belongs to the state or de- partments, or by the mayor when it belongs to the communes. The above mentioned regulations will apply to edif1ces intended for worship, which, having belonged to ecclesiastical es- tablishments, will have been assigned by decree to charitable institutions under article of the law of Decem- Der 3, 1905.
 Article III. With the promulga- tiOn of the present law, the state, the departments and the communes will recover the free use of the episcopal mansions, presbyteries, seminaries, and so forth, which are their proper ty. and the use of which has not been claimed by an association formed un- der the law of December g. 1905. At the same time lodging indemnities, falling upon communes where there is no presbytery, will cease.
 Article ". The property of ec- clesiastical establishments notclaimed by associations constituted under the law of December g, 1905. will be as- signed. upon the promulgation of this act. to charitable institutions. as provided by article g of said law. without prejudice to assignments which may be made under articles z and concerning property not dedi- cated to public worship.
 Article V. At the expiration of one month after the enactment of the present Jaw allowances made under the law of December g, 1905, to the clergy who have failed to carry out the requirements of that law. will be suppressed. The failure of members of the clergy to fulfill the require ments of the law will in each case be determined by joint decision of the minister of justice and the minister of finance.
 Article VI. All the provisions of the. law of December g, 1905, will re- main in full force in so far as they are not in contradiction with the pres- ent act.

Then com menced a mad dash that lasted until they reached Brooklyn. A crowd fol- lowed. expecting to see q big blaze. but in this they were disappointed. The damage was slight.

A PRETTY ROUGH
DEAL FOR FIGUERO
WAS HELD IN JAIL FOR SIX
MONTHS BEFORE HIS CASE
EVER WENT TO TRIAL.

A case of hard luck and certainly a
hard deal came to notice this morning
in Judge De Bolts court. Martin FL
guero, Porto Rican, was charged
with vagrancy under an indictment
found by the grand jury on January 25.
Deputy Attorney Milverton had told
the defendant that IL he would plead
guilty, he would ask the court 20 sus-
pend sentence, so that the man could
secure his liberty Immediately. The
defendant had been in prison awaiting
trial ever since the indictment was
found. Figuero pleaded guilty and the
court suspended sentence for thirteen
months The defendant was released.
1t appears that last November FL
guero was arrested on a charge of be-
ing associated with some denizens of
the Iwilei district The man was en-
ployed in a barber shop at the time.
He was committed by the district mag
istrate to await the action of the grand
jury The Jury found an indictment
against him for vagrancy, a lesser Of
fence. The man was kept in Jail six
months and six days
