John l.. Billiard Denies Story That He Will Take Over New
 Haven Holdings.

Boston and Maine Purchase Enough Responsibility, Thinks Meri-
 den Man.

Meriden, July 5-ft has been report ed that John l.. Billiard of this city. who now controls the Boston 6: Maine railroad will also take over in the very near future all the electric holdings of the Consolidated road in Massachu- setts. It has also been said that MT. Billiards purchase of the Boston &s Maine stock was for the purpose of avoiding the litigation over the merger proposed by the New Haven road and that for the same purpose he will take over the electric holdings of the com- Ipany in Massachusetts.
 MT. Billiard was interviewed by a reporter Sunday afternoon at his home on Lincoln street and most positively denied any thought of purchasing the control of any of the electric roads in Massachusetts now owned or controll- ed by the New Haven roads holding company, the Connecticut company.
 q now hold the control of the Bos- ton X Maine and will run that road to the best of my ability" said Mr. Bill lard.
 "I have absolutely no thought of pur- chasing any of the stock of the Mas sachusetts electric roads now or in the l future. l think l will have work enough to handle the Boston x Maine"

ROTTEN FIRE HOSE
New York Investigation Involves Fire
 Chief Crokcr.

New ---rk, July 12.-Grave charges are made against officials of the New York fire department and against the
 Windsor Appliance company which made and sold to the city fire hose found to be defective in the Parker building fire last January, in a report which the commissioners of accounts have just made to Mayor Mcclellan The report declares that the Windsor hose came nowhere near the specif- cations furnished when bids were call
 ed for; that the company, though re- Ipeatedly called upon to do so, never replaced any defective hose under it's guarantee.
 Testimony dscloses the fact, says the report, that MT. Loughman, presi- dent of the Windsor Appliance com pany was for number of years, and
 Is at present, an intimate friend of Ed ward r. Croker, now chief of the fire l department
 l The report says that examination of
 the books and correspondence of the
 Windsor company shows that in most sales to the city efforts were made, in
 some instances successful, to obtain the assistance of Chief Croker, Deputy
 Chief R, Callahan, Battalion Chief w Clark, and Captains McNamara and l Braisted.

Democrat Who Ran Against Uncle N. D. Two Years Ago Said to Be in the Run
 ming Again.
HAS DECLARED FOR BRYAN
But Will Have to Make Peace With Alexander Troup Before Race Bcgins--Lovc Feast
 Coming.

While 1t was tacitly understood that all plans concerning the nc mination of democrat from this congressional district to run against the republican nominee, who in all probability will pe N. D. sperry, this coming fall, should be left until the return of the dele- gates to the national convention from Denver, when they arrive here they will find that George M Wallace If this city, who ran against Mir. Sperry last time, is in the running again, and Is out for the nomination.
 It was stated by a friend of Mir. Wallace last evening, that because of the good showing he made two years ago against Congressman Srerry, Mr. Wallace should be given the nomind- ton again this fall, and should be given the backing of the united demo- cratic party of the district He said that Mir Wallace would most certainly be candidate, although he had not yet publicly committed himself
 Mir Wallace paved the way for the announcement Saturday @hen he an- nounced that he would support Mir. Bryan for the presidency, and would vote for him and take the stump for the Peerless One as he has done twice before. He said that while he differed ! from MT. Bryan in some of his minor contentious, he agreed with him in the main ones. He stated that Mir. Bryan was the only democrat who could control votes enough to give hm chance to win, and so should have the united support.
 Mir. Wallace made good run against Congressman Sperey last time, and the vote In the city itself was very close. In the other parts of the district MT. Sperry kept up his time friends believe that they will be able to weaken this lead in the coming campaign.
 Before MT. Wallace gets the nom- ination. however. he will have to make peace with some prominent democrats, one of whom IS the Hon. Alexander Troup. During the last campaign MT. Wallace ani Mir Troup were very chummy but several months later sudden bolt came out of the clear sky and MT. Troup and Mir. Wallace were at swords points Var ious newspapers carried on the dis agreement quite zealously end the es- 1 arrangement between the two promin- ent democrats was increased. Now MT. Troup is coming back from Dem yer in triumph with MT. Bryan nom- mated on the first ballot and with two thirds the Connecticut del ,gation hav- ing voted for his old friend, Mir.
