New Watch Order Extended.

As a result Of the new order for a standard watch to be used by the trainmen on the New Haven system, calling for watches of the approved type to be in service on May 1, there have been. several conferences of the men with General Manager C. l.. Bar do and Time inspector Ball. These conferences on the part of the men have been held to prove to the com pany that many of the men on low pay cannot comply with the order as peremptorily as the does would wish them to do. Consequently they asked for delay.
 After going over the whole matter the operating officials of the road granted several concessions to soften the severity of the order Among the concessions was the extension of the time for the order to take effect to May 31 instead of May 1, and it has also been granted that railroad tele- graph operators. who are not train despatchers, who sit by the side of a standard electric clock, may not need immediately to purchase. watches. of the standard BPS type (and upwards) but they will have to do so later.

MARRlES HIS HoUSEKEEPER. But Dona s. Sevieny Required a Lit.
 tie Proddine from the Law.

A long story is that leading up to the marriage Monday morning of Dona G. Sevigny and Miss Annie Morin, formerly his housekeeper
 A few days ago Sevigny notified Se- fectman R. E. Mitchell that his house. keeper was under the influence of in- toxicants and he wished her taken away. The police were told of the fact and upon their arrival found the shoe on the other foot. Shortly there after Sevigny had his housekeeper's s trunk taken to the town farm, and thereupon the selectmen got busy, and investigated.
 As a result of the young woman s story, as told to them, warrant was drawn up for Sevigny's arrest on a charge of a misdemeaner, and he was arrested by Chief Richmond at his home, after an attempt to hide in the cellar. There was sign on the door stating that Sevigny was in Hartford, and it was only by threatening to break down the door that the chief ob- tained entrance.
 After the arrest, another warrant was drawn up on a bastardy charge, and Attorney W. A. King was retained
