FREIGHT CARS DAMAGE HIGHWAYS


 Consillted-Larabee Sent. to Jail
 Mrs. Parker's Will in Probate--
 Court Appoints Neal-Briefs.
 Appeals to the highway commis- sioner and the public utilities com mission to force the Connecticut com pany to discontinue hauling freight cars from the steam road" through the streets of the town to the plant of the Hart and Hutchinson company in New Britain are being considered by the board of selectmen' and it is likely that within a few days expert road builders will be here to look over the damage done to the macadam on Pine street by the fianges on the car wheels.
 The macadam is in very bad shape, although the street was improved less than year ago. and a considerable amount will have to be expended to make the necessary repairs. While the breaking up of the highway sur- face is admittedly the result of oper- ating the freight cars, the company has made no offer to do any repairing and unless something is done soon to force a discontinuance of the pra actice. the selectmen fear that even greater damage will be done.
 AS the cars are hauled through East Main street on their way to the fac tory, there is a belief that the wide fanges on the wheels will also tear the pavement now being laid and may eventually spoil the street.
 1,i1c T the freight cars through the streets | under cover of darkness, it appears to be gradually preparing the towns people for freight trains in the day time, the unsightly box cars now showing up early in the evening. One car was hauled over the tracks short ly after o'clock last night and as a result there was considerable criti. | cism from the townspeople.
 The selectmen have been advised to lay the matter before the public utilities. commission and as East Main street is a trunk highway and under control of the state the plan of of bringing the highway commissioners attention to it has also been suggest ed.
 i Larabee Goes to Jail. Charles Lara bee of New Britain, was fined $14 and costs and sen- fenced to sixty days in jail on charges of breach of the peace and indecent exposure late yesterday when he was given a hearing before Justice E. P. Prior. Larabees arrest resulted from complaints from women living near Cedar Rocks on the noun tain. They alleged that he was con- ducting himself in an objectionable ! manner last Sunday. Constable Downing placed him under arrest. 1 Prosecutor Norton suggested a jail | sentence for both offenses and Jus- tice Prior acted accordingly. Numerous complaints about the l objectionable actions of stranger who made frequent trips to the noun tain had been received by the au- thorities and it is believed that in the arrest of Larabee, the police have captured the offender.
 Mrs. Parker's Will Admitted. Judge George R. Byington yesterday afternoon admitted to probate the will of Mrs. Emily c. Parker, whose death occurred a few weeks ago. Af- l ter directing the payment of her debts, Mrs. Parker willed $500 to Alt torney Randolph Parker, who lived l with her since, childhood and also gave small legacies to two half sis 1 ters living in Virginia. The rest and residue of the estate goes to her sis ter, Miss Annie D. Carnes with whom she resided. Miss Carnes was also l named as executrix in the will. Judge Byington appointed F. S. Neal and Fred Callen to make the appralsal.
 l Court Appoints Neal. l Letters of administration on the estate of Mary N Tyler were granted yesterday by the probate court to of Miles H. Tyler. Mrs. Tyler died in 1871, her will directing that her husband be given the life use of about $500, which she had on deposit ] in one of the banks
 l Probably through a misunderstood ing. no effort was made at the time to l get the estate settled by the probate court. MT. Tyler, however. carried out the instructions of the will and l succeeded in drawing on the bank, 1 despite the fact that certificate had not been issued by the probate court. l After his death and the appoint ment of Mir. Neal as administrator of his estate it was discovered that there was no record of the will ever having been probated. The action of Judge ! Byington yesterday will enable MT. l Neal to get clear titles to both es- I tates for the heirs.
