The man made a pitiful ap- pearance in court this morning as he is on the verge of delirium trem ems and Prosecutor Gibney asked the judge to send him to jail so Witham could have a chance to overcome the effects of the liquor in his system As hospitals will not accept as patients, men in the prisoners condition, Judge Griswold imposed a jail sentence of sixty days.

 Concerning Trolley Lines. Now that it seems certain the Meriden, Kensington and New Britain trolley company intends to take ad- vantage of it's charter and open up line through Blue Hills, there is con- siderable thought as to what effect ] that announcement will have on the plans of the Hartford, Meriden and New Britain Trolley company. The former company has practically de- cided to experiment with the storage 1 battery cars and committee is busy raising enough money to start the venture. The latter concern has se- cured charter to run line from Hartford to Meriden by way of New Britain. According to the rumor
 prevalent 8 few weeks ago the line
 was to come from Meriden as far as 1 Durkee's corner and then branch off,
 so as to go through Kensington by the l Paper Goods shop. Whether the fact
 that the Meriden-New Britain com pany's intentions will change the
 plans of the Hartford Meriden com
 pany remains to be seen, for no infor-
 nation could be gleaned from the di- ! rectors of the latter corporation. Briefs.
