NEW HAVEN ROAD
 ELECTRICS STOPPED
High Volt Current Short Circuited and Thousands of Commuters Delayed.

| Mount Vernon, Aug. 17.-Through a peculiar accident five thousand com muters on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad living in the cities and towns from Mount Vernon to Stamford were delayed for over two hours last night in reaching their homes.
 The Department of Public Works has been engaged for the last few days in repaving Scott's bridge, which spans the railroad tracks at Mount Vernon, and during the days heavy rain, a large pool of water collected on the bridge. As the 6:13 New Ro- bridge the planking spread and al- burning out the fuse. The electrical display could be seen for miles.
 The burning out of the fuse of the New. Rochelle express short circuited the entire system from Wakefield to Stamford, stalling in the neighborhood of two dozen heavy laden trains. Af- ter the trains had been stalled for about an hour scores of commuters who were bound for towns above Mt. Vernon walked through the rain for over half mile and boarded troll leys.
 They had not gone far before they were again overtaken by misfortune. for the storm had caused a large tree at South Fifth avenue and Third street to fall knocking down the trolley wires and crippling the entire service. It was after o'clock before com muter due home at o'clock reached their destination Ag

HID IN DEN OF RATS
Stamford Boy, Victim of Overstudy, Spent Four Days in Cellar With Ro- dents.

Stamford, Aug. 17.-with rats as large as the average-sized cat scam pering about him, Michael F1orin, Jr., IA years old, lay for four nights and his home, East Meadow and Jefferson streets. here. The police had sent out general alarm for the boy, his father had sought him in, all the near by cities, and every child in the neigh borhood was engaged in the search
 The boys hiding place was about as ErepulSive a, place as could be imagin- ed-s The floor was damp and even in the daytime scarcely any light pene- trated the place. By night the boy slept in an isolated corner between beams in a bed of rags he made for himself, In fact, he spent most of the four days and four nights in this little hole. He had little food during an icebox in the front of the cellar. Often the rats stole this, but they never attacked the boy and he appar- ently did not fear them He was found by a younger brother leaning against the icebox late yesterday, af- ternoon, so weak from hunger and lack of sleep that he could scarcely stand He was put to bed and a physician was called. Today he was better He did not explain his strange prank.
 My son is a victim of overstudy' said the father. tHe is devoted to books and spends every minute he can get pSring over them. Six weeks ago from New York. He said the boys brain was affected from overstudy. He advised me to keep him out of school and to take him to New York for a course of treatment He told me he went into the cellar to sleep and when I asked him why he did not come out when he awoke, he just yawned and said he was too tired.'

has not yet become an industry here.

Who viii Apologize?

The Brandon Union took exceptions
in published statemest, to the town
of Castleton, the home of a state nor.
NAL school, voting for license, where.
at the Rutland Herald picks up the
gauntlet, in behalf of the town Of
Castleton and demands a most abject
apology from the editor of the Union
for mwarranted Interference In the
affairs OF a neighboring town.
The editor OF The Era does not knoT
Just what the editor of the Union will
do under the circumstances but he
knows that the last thing he wodld do
were he the editor Of the Union would
be to apologize.
The editor of the Union had a per
feet right as a citizen of Vernon; to
criticise the policy of town in the
state that was the ward of a normal
school and did he know as much about
the conditions that prevail about the
licensed place in the village of Cas-
Teton, as is generally known by the
people of this vicinity he would be
within his rights as citizen to call
for an examination by the state nor
NAL school commissioners and II they
did not take some steps to have the
conditions improved the people of the
state would have the right to demand
their removal for malfeasance in Of
fee.
The editor of the Herald can easily
ascertain If he is not now possessed
of the knowledge that It is doubtful
If there is another licensed place i'm
Vermont that is run as regardless of
the law as the one that It asks the
editor OF the Brandon Union to apol.
ogize for. A former proprietor was
fined and his license taken away from
him for violations of law, and the
place as run today is not one bit bet.
ter than It was before. It is IN fact
a disgrace to any civilized community
and We're II in the city of Rutland II
would be closed out within twenty.
four hours and its proprietor would be
doing the state a service along with
other law.breakers.
Parents with children to educate
have the right to demand certain
things in the towns where they send
| NhNi Nhliuitl W nCuOOi duu WNRIt us
In this instance the school is a state
school they have even more right to
insist upon the town being clean and
temperate or as citizens of the state
to ask for the removal of the school
TO town where the inhabitants have
some regard for the things that tend
toward cleanliness and temperance.
Il Is matter for regret that the oiti.
zens OF Castleton have not since the
high license-local option law was lac
ed upon the statute books OF the state
given the consideration to these mat
ters that they should have gwen them
but have permitted conditions In their
own town that have been a disgrace
to her people If anyone should be
asked to apologize for the nuisance
that they have long harbored, Il Is the
