child in this undeveloped section of the State. I have sent to the clerk s desk petition signed by 1850 electors of the towns through which this road will operate. Who objects to the granting of this charter? Nobody, but the New Haven road. Does it parallel Any road they now operate, or desire to build? No. The opposi- tion is based on the fallacy that the soil of Connecticut is sacred to the New Haven road.''
 Senator Judson then went on to des- cribe the dog in the manager attitude of the New Haven road as shown in their attitude towards the people of these towns. He said that from 1893 to 1903 the New Haven road held a char ter which included this very territory The road permitted this charter to lapse Now, when the people of these towns petition for relief in order that they may have transportation facili- ties whereby their children can be carried to the city of Bridgeport and thus obtain the same educational ad- vantages as are afforded to the chiI- dren of towns that have convenien, transportation to that city. the new Haven road steps in he said, and seeks to block the plan. They say they won't serve the people and they won't permit the people to serve them selves

Hartford, Aug. 30-Despite an elo- uuent and impassioned address by Senator Stiles Judson who pleaded the cause of the people of Huntington and Shelton, the Senate yesterday after noon by a vote of 15 to 10 sustained the railroad committee and rejected the petition for a charter for the con- struction of trolley line between the towns of Huntington, Shelton, Nichols and Trumbull.
 The House had passed bill provid- ing for the granting of a charter by an overwhelming vote rejecting the unfavorable petition of the railroad committee It has been known for several days that an active lobby has been at. work against the prospective line in the Senate but in view of the record of that body this session little fear was entertained for the ultimate outcome. The effective work Of the railroad lobby however was shown when the vote was taken yesterday and much to the chagrin and disap- pointment of Senator Judson the rail- road committee was upheld.
 In the course of his remarks Sen- ator Judson said: T rely upon the votes of this Senate on the merits of this bill The charter for this road is desired by every man, woman and

Especial to the Farmer )

Hartford, Aug 3O.-The special committee on the Investigation of the price of necessities reported through Representative Chandler in the House yesterday three bills which were pass ed.
 MT. Chandler said as chairman of the Investigating committee he knew that great deal of work had been done. They had examined 100 wit nesses and held twenty-ni1e hearings and had employed the state police to help them. The members had de- voted their Sundays to research when they should have been in church. He knew that the committee had been criticised and as house chairman he had been called upon to bear the trQnt of it. He accepted the chair condition that Aaron Johnson of Man chester be on it even though neces- eary to take him from another com mittee. He praised the milk bill which the committee had produced with the aid of the agricultural com mittee, as one of the best bills in the country. MT. Chandler said it had been unjustly charged against him that he had shown hostility to the farmers. In refuting this he would say that he had made the motion sending the bill to the agricultural committee. MT. Chandler told about the conditions in the various towns and cities of the state in regard to the inspection of weights. He said they are execrable.
 MT. Chandler said Hartford and New Haven have competent weight inspectors but other towns and cities Dnply make an apology of enforcing fhe law MT. Chandler said the state would never have a weight and measure bill that would be worth it's weight in tissue paper until it had provided for county inspectors. A man must be kept on the job all the time. Under our present law, the sealing of weights amounts to noth- ing, as a dishonest dealer can alter the weights as soon as the inspector leaves.
 The bill follows:
 Section 1. The weights and measures received from the United States under a resolution of congress approved June A, 1S36 and such new weights eand measures as shall be received from the United States as standard weights and measures in addition thereto or in renewal thereof, and such as shall be supplied by the state in conformity herewith and certified by the national bureau of standards, shah be the state standards, by which an county and municipal standards of weights and measures shall be tried proved, and sealed.
 Sec. 2. The superintendent of state police shall be state superintendent of weights and measures. There shall

cerned is of one opinion, that they | are entitled to have a trolley line to connect with Bridgeport. They can- not see why they should be refused this little request when they stand
 ready to build the road themselves" Senator Judson in closing said that the question Was-deeper than that in- volved in the granting of local char ter to a; community. He praised the Senate of today for its independence of the public service corporations of Connecticut and said that this issue was fairly presented and that it was the duty of every Senator under his oath to decide whom ye shall servs, the people of Connecticut or the New
 Haven road" He said 1t was a moTs- little communities q desiring fo build little road of only nine miles to provide themselves with conveaiences to which they were certainly entitled should be deprived of the right by the New Haven road, especially when they were not paralleling the property of any other enterprise.
 There having been some objection bill which would 2 give si4e promoter of the new line the privilege of dis posing of the charter, Senator Judsou promptly sent to the desk an amend ment eliminating the section. An< other objection being raised against the charter on the ground that thers was no provision gfof its Iapsing ia event that work was not begun. Sen- ator Judson sent to the desk a sec- ond amendment providing for the 1aps< ing of the charter if the incorporators hadn't completed 25 per cent of tfs line by Dec. 1912 Thus sseeptn81y having overcome every objection. thf Senate rejected the bill amended as if had been to meet the objections of those who had picked flaws in it af it was originally presented.
 Those who voted to accept the fe- port and thus to, turn, down, the small towns were Senators Spe11acy. Bailey. Marlowe, Dickerman, Mitchell, Mars~ den, Parker, Woodruff, Avery. Park. McNeil, Jr., Paddock, Barnum, Fris< bic and Leonard.
 Those who voted against the unfa< vorable report, thus standing with the small towns against the New Haven road were Hooker, Shanley, Platt4 Lounsbury, Bartlett, Peck, Jbdson Donovan, Meara and Wright

Bread by Weight.

The next bill concerned the sale of bread by weight. MT. Chandler stat ed that bread made in Springfield and sold in Massachusetts and Con- nectfcut, was ounces lighter for the Hartford market than for Springfield consumers. The bill is as follows: All bread baked and kept for the purpose of sale, or offered or exposed for sale, or sold, in this state, shall be sold by weight, and no bread shall be so kept for the purpose of sale, or offered or exposed for sale, or sold, un- less there shall be attached to each loaf of such bread label or stamp, of a size prescribed by the state superin- tendent of weights and measures stat ing, in type of a size specified by said state superintendent, the weight of such loaf and the name of the man. ufacturer thereof. Any person who shall bake for sale, sell, or offer to sell Or procure to be sold any bread in violation of the provisions of this sec tion shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
 Coal by Weight.
 weight, Mr. Chandler said the bill would stop all cheating, either inno- gently or otherwise. The bill is as follows:
 All coal sold, except in accordance with a written agreement with the purchaser otherwise, or offered for sale, in this state, shall be so sold or of fered for sale by weight. No person, firm, or corporation shall deliver any coal unless such delivery is accom- panied by a delivery ticket and du- plicate thereof, on which shall be dis tinctly expressed, in ink or other in- delible substance, in pounds, the gross weight of the load, the tare of the ve hicle or receptacle used in making the delivery and the weight of the coal contained in such vehicle or re- ceptacle, together with the name'of the seller and the name of the purchaser of such coal One of such tickets shall be surrendered, upon demand, to the sealer of weights and measures, for his inspection, and such ticket or when the sealer desires to retain the original ticket, weight slip issued by the seller, shall be delivered to the purchaser, or his agent or represen- tative, at the time of the delivery Of such coal, and the other ticket shall be retained by the seller. If the pur chaser, or his agent, takes such coal from the place of purchases delivery ticket, showing the actual number Of pounds delivered, shall be given to the purchaser or his agent, at the time of delivery. Any person who shall vio- late any provision of this act shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars, or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

EXPLOSION A CHURCH.

An explosion at the Church Of the
Brethren in Ridgely, Nd, Sunday
night at S O'Clock threw the whole
town into great excitement. The
acetylene plant which furnishes light
ior the church, and which is located
about SO feet from the church build
ing, was out of order. II. +. Hotsinger
and 0. P. Pherson. trustees Of the
church, went to investigate the trouble,
carrying lantern. Just rs the door
of the building where the acetylene
plant is stationed was opened the ex-
plosion occurred.
Mr.. Hotsinger was blown several
feet into the air and rendered .uncon-
Scious. His hair was siuged, and his
face and body were bruised. Mr..
Phcrson, who is 20 years 0; age, lost
his chin whiSkcrS, but otherwise es-
capped injury
The explosion was terrific, and not
only rocked every building in Ridgely
and shattered hundreds Of windows,
but the shock was also felt at Hillsboro
aud Denton, six miles away The ex-
plosion occurred at time when large
congregations were attending the
various churches. People by the hun
dreds ran from the churches, and i!
was sometime before they could locate
the scene oftrouble.

TEN MEN IitaEED.

In an explosion ten men met instant
death at the plant OF the Pluto Powder
Company in the outskirts Of lshpem-
ing, Mich, late yesterday. One man
was injured. The dead were blown to
pieces.
The explosion took place i'll the gela-
tin powder mill. What caused it is not
known. Gelatin powder is largely
composed of nitroglycerin, and 1t is
supposed that the mixture was being
stirred in the big crucible within the
house when the stuff exploded.
About l 900 pounds exploded. Only
20 minutes before the disaster 5000
pounds OF the explosive were removed.
The main plant was little damaged and
the shock felt in Ishpemtng was hardly
perceptible. Windows at Winthrop, a
mic away, however, were broken.
Immediately after the explosion the
men employed in the other buildings
ran out to learn what part of the plant
had blown up. They fastened to the
place where the gelatin building bad
stood and found q stretch OF bare
ground and splintercd timbcrs scattered
over a wide ares around the spot.
Only fragments OF the bodies were re.
covered.
