HIGHER RATES FOR
 NEW HAVEN ROAD
President Elliott Makes Appeal to
 Public Service Commission.

An appeal for increased passenger and freight rates for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was made by Howard Elliott, president of that road, before the state public ser vice commission in Boston this week.
 Tt is a sum in simple arithmetic" MT. Elliott said, that the New Haven cannot pay out millions more each year for labor and materials and have an adequate amount for better better revenue remains stationary" He sug- gested that 2 3-4 cents a mile and the mileage rate be increased to 1-2 cents a mile from 2 1-4 cents.
 The hearing was hero as a result of recent report of George w. Bishop chief inspector for the com mission, in which he stated that the passenger train service rendered by the New Haven in Massachusetts was far Z'om being reasonable or satis- factory" President Elliott, who pre- sented the New Haven's side of the case, said in part:
 "As all the money within the con- trol of the company is now being spent for improvements and payments of debts, additional revenue should be permitted by increasing the rates now charged for transporting pas sengers and freight. for the use of freight cars used as storage houses, and for the carriage of mail and parcels post.
 '"The various commissions, both state and national have been investi- gating and analysing New Haven affairs for number of years and have criticized them. The manage ment is trying to adjust its affairs to meet the suggestions and criti- cism The time has come in the United States as a whole, and par ticularly in New England, which many of us In the business world have been expecting, namely, when transportation is not sufficient for the needs of the country The req sons for this are nation wide, and they are accentuated in New England by the peculiar conditions of the last five years.

Will Case Before Superior Court
Asked Determine How Trust Fund Left by North Stonng Woman is to be Divided Money Was Left for Sup port of Daughter Now Thought Dead-Judge Burpee Took Papers After Hearing Testimony.

On Aug. 1, 1879, Nelana Brown left her home, and nothing has been heard or seen of her since, and it is pre- stunned that she is dead. The terms of Mrs. Browns will are such that the court is asked to determine whether under the will the money of the trust fund of Nelana Brown is to become the property of Ciliffa Brown or be divided equally between Ciliffa Brown and the estate of Ellen Brown.
 Nelson A. Brown, the administrator of the estate and sister of Nelana Brown, was the first witness and gave testimony as to the disappearance of his sister in 1879, and of his efforts to find her, which proved useless.
 All the testimony was introduced and the arguments made by 12 o'clock, when Judge Burpee took the papers.

Bird of the Con- necticut Power Co.,, General Manager Callaghan of the Shore Line Electric Railway Co.,, and General Manager E. c. Ford of the Southern New England Telephone Co.
 Mayor Rogers explained that he had hoped to have a meeting of this char acter the past year but so many other problems had arisen that it was inn possible to do so. For long time he had felt that street excavation had not been carried on in the most ad- for the greatest convenience of the travelling public.
 He believed there should be a spirit of cooperation between the public ser vice corporations and the municipal
 departments in this respect and that
 the only way this could be obtained is
 to place the sole authority in the hands of the highway commissioner as expressed in the charter. Mayor Rogers then informed those present that they were to consider an order tC this effect in force immediately As
 to emergency cases Mayor Rogers in- timated that Highway Commissioner Darrow would undoubtedly allow all
 reasonable latitude.
 As an example of his position, May or Rogers stated that frequently in the past a street had been newly ma ca damized only to be torn up again for water or sewer pipes, conduits or something of the sort. He considered this not only a loss of money but a
 nuisance.
 In the future before a street is ma
 cada1nized the highway commissioner will notify both public service corpor- ations and municipal departments and I they VII have an opportunity to in- stall any work which they had con- l tempIated.
 | The conference was one of the mos1 informal and friendly character an6 | the various details incidental to the new order were discussed at length

 BUCKING ADVERSE CONDITIONS
Shortage of Coal and Labor Troubles
 Affect Situation in This City.

Shortage of coal and labor troubles at the mines, lack of proper transpor- tation facilities, labor difficulties in New York and shortage of help in this city are conditions which local coal dealers are bucking. The shortage of labor has become so acute that the production has steadily fallen off and the local dealers were handicapped in ordering their coal last spring when the orders could not be placed until May. One local dealer is short on stove coal but has plenty of nut coal in his bins. Another dealer who placed an order for five barges received only two. The raise in price is declared to be, the biggest increase at any one time for many years. It hovers around the $95O mark

The Time to Act

You never should neglect a cold a single day, particularly at this time of the year. Ordinary colds can be quickly cured. but if neglected are likely to prove serious. A cough that hangs on weakens the system and makes one liable to disease. Jacob Zolun, 791 Lake Linden Ave, Lauriuin Mich, writes: ''FIoley's Honey and Tar is the only medicine we use in our family for coughs and colds. It does the work promptly" It heals raw, in famed throat; clears air passages loosens the phlegm. Reliable. The Lee and Osgood Go.
