DEMOCRACY UBER AUTOORACY. < Reforming the constitution of the German Empire will be no mean task for anybody Or any party who under takes 1t, ali thtnss considered. Yet the Retohstas committee pretends that this reform will be brought about. The powers of the Emperor arc to be limited. Wilhelm Hohen- xollern is to have his wings clipped.

TROLLEY CARS BURNED UP.
Loss to Connecticut Company
 Placed at 9oO, 900

: 7.
 At the conclusion of a rigid inves- tigation into t,le origin of the fire which completely destroyed the car barns of the Connecticut company on Campbell avenue. West Haven, yes- terday noon, the officials of the com pany and Chief Cameron, of the West Haven fire department agreed last evening that the fire was caused by crossed wires upon the roof of the structure That the blaze gained such considerable headway, before the arrival of the fire apparatus is which covers the barn Is very old and consequently very dry.
 The officials of the Connecticut company stated last evening that the loss of the company amounted to about $6O,000, being divided as fol- lows: Seven large closed trolley cars. valued at $6,500 each and the barn itself with tools. etc. valued at about $15.000. The destroyed cars were of the latest type prior to the pay-as- you-enter cars. ,and were considered very valuable by the officials.
 The new Christ church gymnasium, built from the old parish house. but almost entirely a new structure. was totally destroyed by the, fire which spread in this direction with great rapidity, due to the strong wind which was blowing in from the sound. That the handsome new church itself was saved from damage was due largely to the heroic work of the departments, who finally checked the blaze after 1t had spread to the gymnasium.
