Ii was Campbell's seconding speech
when William Alden Smith was nomin-
ated for senator that first brought MIN
forward. The legislators were UMPIRE
pared TO hear eloquence from the tall
rather awkward. boyish new member.
But he had prepared himself well and
his unusual voice enabled him 10 reach
effects which a smaller man could

During the session he was Gov.
Warmers floor leader, except when
the bill to tax telephone and teIe-
graph companies on an al Vaiorem
basis was up. His opposition 10 this
was doubtless due 10 the large num-
Der OF people who own independent
telephone company stock in the west
ern portion OF the state.
In the recent campaign. Campbell
declared that he would vote for the
bill il IL comes up again. His popu-
larity was shown by the fact that he

For a number OF years Colin Camp

Although no posing as a reformer.
Campbell has been assistant prosecut-

reform administration which has In
sisted on the enforcement Of the sa-

His connection with the alministra-

SITS. The gas piping was supported
by wooden structure.
While % men were working between
York and Front.sts.. the gas main
on the east side OF FrontsI sagged
and burst with terrific report.
The workmen were hurled In every
direction. When an ambulance sur
geon arrived he found the men who
We're lying about were dead. A num-
Der OF others were badly hurt.
With the explosion OF the gas. II IN
some way ignited and flames shot up
from the street TO the hight OF 100
feet. Nearby buildings were endange,
ed for some time. but the flames con
tiDued 10 burn straight upward until

In the neighborhood. Gold-st.. between
Front and York-sts. is lined with frame
houses. These were threatened with
destruction by the tower OF flame from
the gas main. and the IS families oc-
cupying the houses worked frantically
TO save their belongings. Two OF the
structures were partly destroyed by
fire.
AT Front and Gold-sts. several hun.
dred pupils were at their studies In
ST. James Catholic school. They made
Il dash for the stairways when the ex-

ven Manufacturers To-day.
 A delegation of fifteen manufactur- CTS Tn towns along the Canal road held a conference with General Superintend- ent Blerd of the New Haven road yes terday relative to giving the people In the towns along that line adequate train service. The New Haven road to curtall expenses, has planned to with draw two of the passenger trains on the Canal next week The manufac- turers to-day said that this would ser iously interfere with the convenience or the people and they requested that the matter be earnestly considered be- lore the trains were withdrawn.
 Superintendent Bierd, after hearing the manufacturers, said that he would give a decision in the matter to-mor- row. It is probable that a midday train from New Haven north will be given and this plan seemed to mee' with the favor of those who were at the conference to-day.
