~@&EAA3 V 1AA~7 AN~WVo MANY PROMISES BUT NO SIGN OF. ACTION Cabill Co. Plans Held Up Until
 Spur Track Is Laid GET LITTLE SATISFACTION

Railroad Officials Too Busy To Con-
 sider New Propositions-Visits New York Penal Institutions-Connec
 Owing to their ina bility to get any satisfaction from the New Haven road in their efforts to have a spur track placed on the property which they acquired some time ago from E. T. Carter. the Cahill company of Meri- den has been delayed in the prepara- ton of plans for the erection of a building to be used as a distributing station for this locality Representa- ing to induce the railroad officials to have the track laid for several weeks but thus far their efforts have not borne fruit.
 In the yellow building" in New Haven there is a great activity owing to the stupendous freight business and the various departments are so tied, up with work that they seemingly have but little time to give to new propositions.
 The Cahill company proposes to eventually build a storehouse and distributing station on the property t is anxious to have a spur track run from the Northampton division to make the unloading of shipments easy
 DJ-;,
 regarding the construction of the building this feature will have to be settled.
 At the present time the company is serving it's trade from temporary dis tributing stations in nearby cities. When the Plainville building is erected these will be given up and the trade in all places hereabouts will be sup piled from the local headquarters.
 Back From Albany.
 Representative K. T. Carter has re- turned from Albany where he went with other members of the Connecti- cut general assembly in search of information regarding the manner in which the State of New York con- ducts it's iails and prisons.
 MT. Garter is a member of the com- mittee appointed by the legislature to look up the matter of selecting a site for the Hartford county jail that is more suitable than the Seyms street location. The committee has under advisement several propositions. A site in NewingtOn seems to make the mo OSt favorable impression on the commission and it may be favored in the report.
 Members of the committee will probably visit other states to inves. tigate the jail systems before pre-. senting a report.
 Wants To Make Settlement.
 Claims agents of the Connecticut company were here this morning to negotiate with James Onerato for a settlement of damages for the injuries which he received Saturday night while riding on one of it's cars.
 In an effort to bring his car to a stop at Southington center the motor 1 man is thought to have applied the air 1 brakes so suddenly that the jar threw several of the passengers to the | floor. Onerato was among those

been the means of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deafness.
Recent experiments have proved con-

merely temporize with the> complaint
and seldom, if ever, effect perman-
lent cure. This being so, much time
and money has been spent of late by
Ia noted specialist in perfecting a
|pure gentle, yet effective tonic that
would quickly dispel all traces Of
THE catarrhal poison from the system.
THE effective prescription which was
Eventually formulated, and which
has aroused the belief that deafness
Twill soon be extinct, is given below
