RAIDED BY THE POLICE.
Twenty Seven Charged With Frequent
ing the Places and Six Charged With
Being Keepers.

About 1130 o'clock Thursday night
the police raided the six houses of i'll
fame in this city and took the keepers

and who was brought into the superior
court on a bench warrant and is now
out on bonds awaiting the May term
OF the criminal superior court, charged
with a similar offense as Addie Burns
in connection with the May Burns

Since the New London police have
been so strenuous in their efforts to
clean up that city it has been claimed
that many of the women of those
houses have come to this city and the
police state that OF those arrested
many are new 10 this city. Three of
the houses are In Water street, and
the others in DUrkee lane, Ferry and
Summit streets. Most of the women

thought she was going to be locked up
I'm a cell but quickly revived. while
the keepers displayed the customary
and looked for appearance of being dis
pleased at the interference by the 20

EXTRA BOAT NEEDED.
Signs Of Increasing Business-Freight
for Points North.

/ The first real signs Of an increase of
business hereaboUts will be noticeable
today. when third boat will begin
making trips on the Central Vermont
railroad marine line between New
London and New York The running
of third boat is due to the vast
amount of freight now held at the New
York wharf. awaiting forwarding to
New London, consigned mostly to
points north. The additional boat will
be the New Haven railroad freight
steamer City Of Fall River. This boat
loaded at New York Thursday night
and will reach New London this after
noon or evening.
The Fall River will be maintained on
the line as long as the business war
rams The regular steamers, Mohawk
and Michigan. carry nightly from 1900
to 1900 tons of freight The Fall Riv-
er carries about 300 tons Of freight.
The Mohawk and Michigan have been
carrying their full capacity for some
time, but despite this fact over 5000
tons OF freight have accumulated on
the New York wharf and has made a
third steamer necessary.

DOUBLE TRACKS FINISHED.
Work Between Waterbury and Tolles
Station, Near TerryvilIe, Finished
Will Extend to Hawleyville.

The double tracking of the old High
land division, from Tolles to Water
bury, has been practically completed
and the temporary telegraph station al
the summit, just west of TerryviIle
the highest point of the long hard
grade which has long been a hard
route for heavy freights. Westbound
trains always found it necessary 10
use two engines 10 get over the grade.
The completion of this dou5le
tracking marks another step in the
most important improvement in rail-
reading in this part of the state. It
is expected that as soon as the spring
weather permits. that double tracking
between Hawleyville and Waterbury
will be resumed.
The work on the proposed big tuu-
mel east Of Terryville has been at a
standstill for some time and was prac-
tically the only railroad improve
nent in the state that was stoned nv
the panic. Only about a fourth Of
the work On the tunnel has been com
pleted.

sold this week to Angus Park of Han

some Of the spinning machinery. The
machines are now being shipped. Mr..
Park intends them for use IN his mills
in Hanover and East Glastonbury.
There is no likelihood that the mill
win be operated as a wooden manufac-
