ROMANCE IS BEHIND
 sToNINoToN WRECK
Miss May Fisher of New Haven Was at Bedside of Fiancs HoVsring Be- tween Life and Death.


 Miss May Fisher, who is oRe of the staff of employees connected with the depot restaurant, in New Haven, returned Monday from the bedside Rt her betrothed, Frederic Hadley the locomotive fireman at Stonington where the man is lingering between life and death in consequence of the recent wreck there.
 Hadley's locomotive, No. 1904 rolled over on him and pinned him to the ground where he had jumped. He was held there amid the steaming debris for more than three hours, by his lett arm.
 There was the usual delay of wreck ing trains and finally as he was get tins weak from loss of blood, the sur geons cut off his left hand and re- leased his body so that he could be removed to an improvised hospital in a neighboring house
 Miss Fisher stated that the physi- clans said Monday morning that there was hope for her affianced, and that she felt, because of his comparative youth and strength he might get well. Besides the loss of his left hand he had to have the first finger of his right hand cut off his right ankle is broken and his left leg is crushed in two places. Besides this he was badly scalded.
 Railroad men do not think he will recover.
 An especially sad feature of the case IS that Hadley, who lived at 70 arthur street was to have been mar ried to Miss Fisher last Saturday night and the couple had already pro- vided a little home for themselves.
 Miss Fisher is back at her work hoping for the best.
 It was said among railroad work CTS that Hadley, even if he recovers can recover no damages from the rail road company unless it is shown that the company's signalmen were at fault which is quite possible.

collsas Trustees to Meet.

A meeting of the trustees of the Connecticut college for women will be held at New London today. Aetnon will be taken on the death of Oliver Glider sleeve of Portland, who was trustee of the college.
 It is not known as yet what action the trustees will take in regard 10 fur ther proceedings in reference to the condemnation of the Alexander land, which was recently dismissed by the supreme court. It is hinted, however that the trustees consider that they are building not for a few years but for generations to come and that they can afford to wait until the location is definitely assured If it comes to a question of lengthy legal warfare they are doubtless equipped as we'll financially to stand a prolonged siege as those who seek to block their progress.

have finished pouring the concrete for the first floor. They are now putting up the frames for the second floor. At the COW barn, the work has reached the stage where the plumbing is go- ing in, connecting the stalls with the drains.
 For the deep well two SxS air com pressors have been put in, providing for a way of pumping from the three wells by the air lift system. The hos pital employees themselves are doing this work. A concrete tank of 5000 gallons capacity has also been built, into which the water is discharged from the th1ee pumps. The tank pros vides opportunity for the air to sep arate from the water, which is then ready for forcing up to the reservoir by the surface pump.
 With all that has made the hos pital a busy place in the building line up to now, the work on the new ward buildings will still further increase the activities at this growing state insti- tuition.

TERMINAL TICKETS ON
 NORWICH & WESTERLY
New Plan Works WeII-Saves Ere
 quent Fare Payments,

Passengers on the trolleys of the Norwich & Westerly traction company are learning to appreciate a recent in- novation introduced by the company in connection with the payment of fares, by which the passenger is saved the trouble of fishing up a nickel seven different times in going from Norwich to Westerly or vice versa. Conductors appreciate the change as well.
 Celluloid tickets have been printed which are issued to passengers going to the terminal at either end. Wher- ever passenger gets on the car, if he is bound for the terminal, Norwich or Westerly, he pays his total fare and receives in return the celluloid ticket and is not bothered again. The con- ductor collects the ticket at the end of the run. On local runs, not ending at one of the terminal points, passen- gers pay their fare in the old way, just as before.

DELEGATES WILL BACK \
 INTRACOASTAL CANAL.
At Deeper Waterways Convention to
 Be Held at New London.

There is a concerted movement on the part of a large number of dele- gates to the fifth annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways asso- ciation, which meets in New London Sept. 4th for a three days session, to have the convention adopt certain inn portant measures tending toward hav- ing congress recognize the Atlantic in- tracoastal canal as a national problem. It Is pointed out by those interested in the movement that the two great po- litieal parties have included the Mis- sissippi project in their platforms, while the Atlantic intrs coastal project has been thrown in along with the miscellaneous projects. This, they de- clare, is unjust in the face of the fact that the east supports the densest pop ulation in the land anl is congested with commerce while traffic on the Mississippi and other western streams is practically existent.

WILL NOT RELAX ON
 RUNNING BOARD ORDER.
Utilities Corh7issicn Expects to Get at the People Through the Com panlss-Runnins Board Fidins Full of Danger

of Danger.
 The members of the uB1icsptiAties commission, in talk with an tnS CT viewer, in Hartford, haYe made pubNic their position in relatieIi .te the ordei issued recurring the trolley, companies to preserve and enforce Tnle pro- hibiting passengers from riding on the steps or running boards of open ssars:
 In the first place, the memeers VI the commission want 1t understcXN that they have no power to say 10 tfSe people of the state that they must net ride on the running boards. There is no such power given them. The com mission must deal with the companies and not with the people. Thai was why the order was issued to the com pafiies to adopt and enforce rule prohibiting such riding.
 The order was not directed to the passengers on the cars, but to the owners of the cars. The jurisdiction of the commission is limited to the latter. In their deliberations before they issued their order the members of the commission recognized the taet that the law, so far as it related to tbeir authority was inadequate But they realized that the companies would be protected in the establish = ment of the rule which was forced on them by the commission just as they are fI4> the case of every reasonable rule TftASe is an important decision bearing onN this matter in the New York reports.
 The commissionefs expected that the order would cause some inconVienee and ttae there would be complaint from those who were ineonyenlenced, but they were satisfied that the safe ty of the travelling publls and or the trolleymen required the passing or the order and of the enforcement of a rule based on it. It was better that many should be ineonyenieneed ti7at that 8 single life sheuld be lost. Tne order of the commissioners extended to both steps Of the esrs
 Under no circumstances will the | commissioners allow a relaxation or the rule to permit passengers to rlde l on the lower steps. They will oraer l the ears to stop running Esther than | allow the lower steps to be- Qccupieo while the cars are in motion es thsy believe that human life would es l jeopafdized if it became practice 10 stand on the steps The commission-
 CTS do not claim tns gift or lnfalil~ bility and if they find tflst the rule made in accordance with thslf order
 is unavoidable, they will modify it. But there will be no modification for the | sake of convenience which will make
 the running of the trolley cars men,
 ace to the life of the people of the
 state whether they are passengers or the employees of the companies. There
 would be the possibility of serious fatality occurring with car having
