STEAM SUPPLANTS GASOLINE
 NEW HAVEN RUNS LAST CAR
Stranger Sent to Shop For Re pairs and Train Put Back On Run.
Locomotives Laugh As Inter loper Goes Out of Commis- sion.


 Steam supplants gasolene, New Haven runs last car. Last week this caption was reversed and read "Gasolene supplants steam. New Ha- ven runs first car" But the first car. or thereabouts. was the last car, at least the last gasolcne driven car that will be seen in Putnam on the tracks of the x. '. N H. and H., for the present.
 After the prominent display given the advent of the new mode of con- veyance last week 1t is only fair to the old steam driven locomotives with the firebox and coal pile to give an equally prominent position to the re eording that the "gas" bus was unable to stand the haul After one sue cessful round trip on the schedule Of train ITO from New London to Put nam and train 7f9 from Putnam to New London the "gas" engine on the stranger chugHed out on the day foi- lowing its debut and the big iocOm0- lives and the little locomotives all over the system hearing of it wink ed as thev passed and there was an extra chrerfuiness in the sound of the whistle as the engineer pulled the whistle cord So far in Gas vs Steam steam has won the contest by six block signals and a couple of switch towers
 Proud of it's first days work the epast bus started from New London tho next day. Whether it died be tween the Whaling city and Gales Ferry or limped into the Rose City ig not certain at this terminus of the run. Railroad men and passengers waited in vain for the stranger and finally word came up the line that the bus was being taken to the repair shop for A thorough overhauiing and it would be absent until further notice and 7iO and 7l9 would be as was,
 The regular train was soon back on the run. cinders flying and smoke coming from the engine stack. The wheels ground out T told you so, l told you SO" as they passed merrily over the rail joints. As far as the nublie is concerned it remains neu- tral. perhaps a little in favor of the old timer over the y0angster. There js mere fascination about railroad train than there is about a trolley car or gas bus on a railroad track. The arass bus. as stated last week, IS still in the experimental stage. at present very still indeed. Anyhow gas has not permanently supplanted steam on the railroad with the five initials and an &.
