TROLLEY RULE WORKS WELL

The first days trial of the new idea
for doing away with the locking of
trolley cars at Chapel and Church
streets was certainly most satisfac-
tory one, not only the object of the in
novation being quite well accomplished
but also the amount of inconvenience
to the public being smaller than would
have been expected. The public took
to the scheme readily and very few
persons were discovered who failed to
get on to the idea. In the early part
of the day few persons missed car

The people seemed to be quite well
pleased with the arrangement and es-

car service which is the outcome of it.
The fact that the cars can get right
away as soon as they have crossed the

WILL NOT REBUILD.
MFR. Tllyou VIII Dispose of Lease of
SteepIechase Island.

Bridgeport, Aug. t9.-According to
the figures to-day on the fire at Steeple-
chase island yesterday the loss total is
$40,0 Of which George G. Tilyou
suffers $1,000 and Mr. Weber $4,000
Mr.. Tilyou when interviewed to-day
said: Il carry blanket insurance on
the whole island to the extent of $40,-
O00 How much of that will apply to
the ruined section I do not know, as
the policies were forwarded to New
York this morning
II estimate the damage at about
$4,000. From that there will be some
salvage and also a certain amount of
insurance. The damage to the grand
stand falls upon Mrs, Mcmahon. She
has, I understand, that structure fully
insured.
II do not intend to rebuild. I have
not fully made up my mind but as the
season is near the close do not think

people of a city of this size have tired
of the horses. There is a possibility
that l will rebuild the grand stand, as
the baseball there has peen a success.
Il am tired of the island. 1t is all
right from financiar standpoint, and
Capt, Boynton has made an immense
success of it, but at the same time it is
so far from my holdings in Coney Is
land and at Rockaway that l am sick
of it,"
Asked if he would dispose of his
lease Mr.. Tilyou said: Il certainly will

We do not owe one cent. 1t is paying,

BOYS PILFER At The ROCK
STEAL FROM THE STANDS
Branford Man Forfeits His
Bond in the Town
Court.

OF late the keepers of stands at Saw
in Rock have been bothered continual
ly by pilfering carried on by small
boys. The young culprits sought to
make their depredatlons more profit
able by breaking into the cash box Of
Ia penny-in-t he-slot machine at the
White City and were successful in the
first attempt, but a second visit to the
same box caused Anthony Labanca, an
Italian lad, living with his parents at
LA Sylvan avenue, to fall into the
hands of officer Kelly. When arraign-
ed in the court Monday morning he
pleaded guilty and was fined 81 and
costs.
The police are determined to bring
the crowd of young criminals to JUS
tice and say that young Labanca es-
capped with so light a fine only because
! he is one of a family of twelve chill
dren, and a heavy fine would have
caused innocent ones to suffer, but
others cannot except such leniency.

When Captain Ben Golden retired
from the sea and bought place on the
Connecticut shore he made only care
less inquiries as to who were his neigh
bors. AS matter of fact. he did not
care. AS he explained It:
81 am man as attends to my own
business and expect other folks to at
tend to theirs. shall have house
keeper and servant and live very
quietly. My nephew, George Lee, may
come down from the city now and then
to stay over Sunday, but that's all the
company shall have"
Two weeks later, in buying and TAX
ing possession of the property adjoin-
ing Captain Golden's on the west, the
purchaser, who was q man of sixty
and rather crusty, had said to those
who sold to him:
II don't care who lives around here.
All / want of them Is to mind their
own business and let me mind mine.
II catch any of them trespassing on
my land they won't do it second time.
/ shall live here quietly, with my niece
to manage the house."
There were no fences dividing the
property, but for the first few weeks
Captain Golden and Mr. Bingham, who
was the man with the niece. were too
busy to walk abroad much. They saw
each other from distance, but made
no effort to get acquainted. One day
they were tramping through the shrub
berry near the dividing line and came
face to face. Both were there for the
same object. Each one Of them had
been thinking Of putting up line
fence to shut the other out There was
some embarrassment for moment,
and then Captain Golden, being the
more jovial of the two, called out:
Good day. neighbor: glad to meet
you.'
Good day, SIR" replied the other as
he drew himself up in an icy manner.
Being we are neighbors"-
I'VE are not neighbors sir. You sim
ply happen to live near me- That is nc
