 Matter.

Ihas. .Nau~st2aucss road tf'-Nill HsSuf <5ly not discontinue the sale of alcoholic liquors in its buffet cars for the pres ent, at least not until an injunction or some other legal proceeding has been procured by some interested party which will prove as test case.
 A statement given the Journal Cour- fer last night by the New Haven road s press department said: "Thc New Ha- ven road will De glad to discontinue the sale of liquors upon it's trains when ever properly constituted legal author ity will call its attention to the fact that such sale is in violation of the law"
 The matter of the sale of alcoholic liquors was brought to the attention of the New Haven road yesterday by Matthew F. O'Brien of Bridge port Mir. 0'Brien claims that the road has no right to sell alcoholic drinks in its cars under the present state laws. One point necessary for an applicant for a license to name is the place where the liquor is to be sold, and the railroad because of the many miles covered by 1t is unable to do this.
 Already the railroad company is un- able to sell liquor in New York state, but in Rhode Island and Massachus- etts the laws are more liberal.

 After four months of life, Formato, son of Pasquale Maccarato, died on the first day of the New Year, his little strength sapped by pneumonia. Pas quale is mason. and very proud of his boy he was. Nothing could be too good for his progeny. Frand De Lucia as undertaken was called upon to su- pervise funeral arrangements, but even he knew nothing about the band until he saw it leading the procession yesterday. playing with true Italian fire, the music that will inspire Forto- mato on his Journey.
 Starting at the home of the father, services were held at St. Michae, $ church, Father Salvatore officiating. And then the band led the way to St. Lawrence's cemetery. Behind it came the white horses drawing the white hearse, and within the little coffin. Then followed four American boys as pallbearers, who were dressed in white. Then four carriages containing Che chief mourners. Behind the carriages streamed host of boys. partly inter ested in the funeral. partly attracted by the stirring airs the band played.
