VERY RUSTY RAILS
Going Back to Rolling Mills to Be
 Melted Up.

New Haven, Jan 11.-Standing on a siding in front of Union station yesterday was train of eleven cars loaded with old rails which had been picked up along the line. These rails are to be sent to the rolling mills in Pennsylvania and will be again rolled into flrst-class rails. This lot of over 300 tons of railroad iron was rusty aggregation, having been taken out of the roadbed some where up on the line and exposed to the weather for months. From the sale of this lot of steel rails the com pany will realize a snug little pot of money.
 Many of the rails appeared in quite good condition despite the rust. In- deed it was stated that there is many a railroad in the United States that is laid with rails poorer than this lot that is going to be melted up.
 The New Haven railroad on its main lines is provided with the heavy standard steel rail adopted by lne COulpdus SOuie eiiAie dbo anu when a rail shows the least signs of severe wear 1t is taken up and brand new rail substituted. With the very big traffic on the main line the roadmasters keep watch that the rail for the heavy rolling stock is constantly kept up to the highest condition of efficiency On the branch lines not so heavy a rail is required. but even there the rail is heavier than formerly to keep pace with the heavier engines and freight cars that are now m use.

IN THE WRONG BED.
Bridgeport Man Too Full to Find His
 Own Room.

Bridgeport, Jan. 11.-Paval Gala, a drug clerk, went out with some | friends the other night and when he reached his home at Steuben court about 1 o'clock Thursday morning his brain was so befuddled that he blundered into neighbours fiat in- stead of his own, and thereby brought about complications that nearly resulted seriously for himself. Gala, who is married, occupies a fiat on the top floor of the house mentioned, while John Lesko, his wife and their little baby occupy a the Lesko fiat for his own and walk ed in without word.
 Going straight to the bedroom where Lesko, his wife and the baby were sleeping he disrobed and rolled into bed. Mrs Lesko woke first and her screams at finding a strange man there aroused her husband. He promptly tumbled Gala onto the floor
 | The jar of his unceremonious fall rather revived Gala's bewildered brain and he realized he had made a mistake. A sister-in-law of Lesko who occupies the next room in the flat awakened by the noise, hastily appeared with lamp and then Gala s identity was disclosed He was pro- fuse in his apologies but Lesko was not satisfied and while he allowed Gala to go his wife made a con- plaint to police headquarters.
 Officer Joseph Coughlin brought Gala in shortly after noon Thursday, but after an interview with Superin- tendent Birmingham and Captain Arnold he was allowed to go as the officials were satisfied with his state ment that he was intoxicated and supposed that he was entering his own fiat. Gala was admonished to buy a pocket edition of the city di- rectory, or else to take along a chap erone. when he goes out to paint up the village of nights hereafter.
