TROLLEY co. REDUCES FARE.
Five Cent Rate from Pine Rock to
Stratford Residents.

Stratford, Aug. 13-The residents of
Stratford are indebted to Judge
Charles H. Peck for a substantial ben
eft in the way of a fare reduction on
the trolley line running to Derby. Sew
eral years ago residents living north
of Paradise Green obtained a conces-
sion from the company through which
books Of 20 trolley tickets were sold
to them for 81. These tickets entitled
the holder to ride from any point be-
tween Pine Rock Park and the center
of the town for cents. Previously the
fare from any point north of Paradise
Green had been ten cents. Judge Peck,
Stratford representative in the last
Rouse, introduced bill, intended to
cover this ground, but was made gem
eral in its terms. 1t provided for a
five cent fare in any town of the state
That is, under the bill no trolley com
pany could charge more than cents
for ride between any two points In
any town. The trolley companies Of
the state fastened to compromise and
the Connecticut Co. offered to make
the concession named if the bill was
withdrawn, Judge Peck agreed to this
and the bill was withdrawn. The
agreement extended the radius of the
books previously sold to the center Of
| the town. Residents of this town liv-
Ing at or north of the center may now
buy the book of 20 tickets for 81 and
these tickets are good for ride to Pine
Rock Park. AS the fare to Bridgeport
from the center is only FIVE cents the
tickets will not affect travellers going
in that direction, but it will operate to
the advantage of those riding north.
T Passengers may now ride from
Bridgeport to Pine Rock Park for 5
cents, provided they live in the center
or north of It. The tickets are also
good going in the opposite direction
The rule will operate to open up the
section north of Paradise Green where
there is plenty of room for building.

tism by immersion and that always in
water in the open air; they give a
tenth Of all they earn to the prophet
or his representatives for the good Of
the church.
They have revived some Of the prim-
tive Christian customs in their church
services. One is that when a new
Inember who Is called saint" is ad-
mitted to the church her or his feet
are washed by the pastor In the pres
ence of other saints. Then the pastor
imparts the Holy kiss" Among the
members of the church this kiss is the
right hand of fellowship and is used
among them on all occasions Of meet
ings and partings.
In the south most of the members
of this church are colored people, but
there are many white followers in the
west
The religious meeting places are
called "Tabernacles" and are each gov
erned by an elder who acts as pastor
and by one deacon and from five to
seven trustees.
The headquarters are at Washing
ten, D. c., and in Philadelphia there

Elder Blunt has small membership
in his church at present, but the num-
Der is increasing and his work is be-
coming felt The saints Of his church
are willing and earnest helpers and
sincere in their beliefs and the teach
irgs Of their prophet
In speaking of the baptlsms Elder
Blunt said that no particular day was
set apart for this ceremony. When
ever a candidate is ready for baptism
according to the requirements of the
church and so acknowledges himself,
the immersion takes place, always in
the open air.

ANOTHER FORGER
PUTS It OVER"
Morris Pelzman Swindled
Out of 81 by Well Dress
ed Young Man.

Morris PIezman, PA State street, a
saloonkeeper, was the victim of a for
ger this morning and as a result he is
seven dollars behind in his accounts.
A tall, we'll built young man walked
into the saloon and took a few drinks
while he continued to talk amiably
with both the proprietor and patrons.
He seemed like such a straightforward
honest young man that no one doubted
his credibility. When he made the pay
ment for the amount which he owned
he rendered Mr.. Pelzman check for s6
made out to John D. Wells by the Sim
plex Railway Appliance company.
Pelzman after ascertaining that he
had been swindled. reported the matter
to the police at once and gave them d
good description Of the defrauder. His
weight was given as 100 pounds. height
feet 10 inches and his complexion
medium. He was moderately well dress
ed and gave the appearance of a work
ing man dressed in his Sunday attire.
Can't Afford 10 Turn Them Down.
When asked by Chief Rimbach why
he didn't use more care in cashing
checks. Pelzman replied that he couldnt
afford it as it would hurt his business
/ He would rather run the risk of being
defrauded once in a while than refus'
checks rendered BY the working mer

fact, combined with the disadvantage
Of her advanced age. had much TO do
with her pitiful condition. She was
greatly worried for fear OF losing her
pocketbook, containing about $50, the
entire amount of her savings. before
she could reach her son.
Mind becomes Unbalanced.
After brooding over these matters for
some time she lost her mind and con-
ceived the idea that the trainmen were
forming a plot to rob her and she
took advantage of the first opportun-
ity to escape from their clutches. When
the stop at Hammond was reached she
desperately grabbed all of her belong
ings and ran from 0ne car as fast as
her age would permit Not long after
the train had pulled out, her peculiar
manner attracted the attention of the
station agent, who at once notified the
police. Before the latter succeeded in
finding her however, the woman had
hidden her money, hat and cloak under
a sidewalk in a desperate attempt to
conceal her possessions from the train
men whom she thought were still fol-
lowing her
After hearing her story the police
set the woman on the train again and
saw her once more on her way to
Chicago. where she had no difficulty in
finding her son. Both came TO Ham

tempt to locate the missing money and
clothing and the police department.

is now supposed that the poor little
woman is now living happily with her
son, as she has almost regained her
normal condition.
