ELECTRIC REPEAL SUBSTITUTE
 SPECIAL ORDER FOR WEDNESDAY,

tricity Is manufactured"
 While it is true that this substitute measure is agreeable to the electric light monopoly it by no means follows that it will prove acceptable to the members of the General Assembly, ations are located in blocks across the There is no denying the fact that there exists among many of the legislators that the statutes now upon the books shall be repealed It is believed that the House espe- cia1ly will insist upon repeating the entire law. The electric monopoly has maintained from the outset of the present session a powerful and active lobby and they rely upon the influence of the influential agents who represent them in the third house to see that their interests do not suffer.
 Under the leadership of MT. A. M Cooper of the Rowland Dry Goods Go. the business interests of this state have been aroused as they have not been in years, with the result that if nothing more is gained than the sub stitute amendment today introduced the victory will be of no mean import ance. The amendment practically gives to the business interests of the state all that they originally demand ed, but notwithstanding this, so strong has the sentiment against the monop- .oly become that no one need be surprised if the fight for straight out repeal is successful.

Especial from United Press.o

Boston. July 29.-President Lucius Futile of the Boston & Maine railroad today refused to affirm or deny reports that on October first he will be SUD- planted by Charles Mel1en, president of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford.

It is not definitely known whether the Boston holding company has secured control of the Billiard stock of the Boston & Maine in time to vote at the October annual meet ing, but it is expected that this trans fer will be completed before any change is made in the presidency of the road.
 New Haven, July 29-It is expected that a. statement will be issued from the offices of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford Railroad late to-day which will either confirm or deny the report that President Charles s. Mel len is to supplant Futile. president of the Boston & Maine. MT. Mellen is out of the city but is expected later in the day.

Potatoe Bug Destroyer.

w. a. Woodruff, residing near Yale,
brought into our Office the first of the
week some small bugs which he claims
are saving the potatoes from the ravages
of the potatoe bug. In looking over
his patch Of late potatoes he found
many vines with none of the pest.
Others were partially destroyed. Not
ing this he looked for the cause and
found a small red bug with black spots
which when closely watched he claims
were destroying the eggs of the potato
bug with avidity, not molesting the old
bug or the vine. We have read Of this
savior of the potato plant in other
parts of the country and trust it has
come to stay. The bug is on exhibit
