Attorney William W. 0ager, re- ceiver for the Almon o. Judd Co.,, was on the witness stand in su- perior court as Judge Edwin O.. Dickenson began hearing arguments in the appeal of the company from alleged over assessment of It's Hotel Elton property by the city of Waterbury. The hearing, which in- cludes many highly technical points of controversy, is not expected to end until tomorrow.
 The hotel is objecting to a total assessment of SAYS, 400 placed on It's property ct West Main and Pros- pect streets by the city. The appeal Is to the superior court from Q rul- ing by the board of relief refusing to change the valuations set by the board of tax commissioners. It IS contended that the assessments are excessive.
 Both sides had several real estate experts in court today, ready to tes- tify during the hearing. The city placed Q value of Si2l 300 on the land where the hotel stands, one of S2o, 400 on property in the rear, one of $279,700 on the hotel build. ing and one of $42,5oO on personal property of the hotel.

NEW FREIGHT RATES

J. J. Pelley, President of the AS
sociation of American Railroads. ha,
announced that proposals for adj
J justment Of the freight rate struc.
ture, to take effect upon the expira,
tion on December 81, 1886, Of the
emergency rates now in effect, have
been practically completed by spe-
cial committees representing the
railroads.
These proposals will be submitted
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the various state commits
sions. They represent an effort on
the part of the railroads, after a
close study of the freight rate
structure, to work out equitable ad-
justments through increases and re-
ductions. that will partially offset
the drop in revenues which will take
place when the present rates expire.
The roads do not contemplate that
the emergency increases now in eff
feet will be carried into the perma-
nent freight rate tariffs.
As part of the general adjustment. |
the railroads are planning an i'm !
EpA NNhN otGp AUWaAu simplicity IN i
rates and tariffs. by making practi- |
cally uniform for the entire country |
the classification of all articles now
moving on first, second and third
class rates in less than carload lots.
This is to be accomplished in most
instances by making the ratings in
all territories the same as the low
est classification now in effect in
any territory. The railroads feel
that this marks the most important :
single step ever taken to promote
simpler and more unified freight
rate structures for the nation. I
The railroads will ask that the
readjustments be made ef-
ective January 1. 1887, so that the :
ines may avoid the serious losses I
which would result If the emergency
ates expired and a new schedule =
ras not ready. q
1t would seem that the rails are I

the gravity of the fire problem, that
brief statement should. If you have
a strong stomach, think of those 10.
600 roasted bodies. And then realize
that at least eighty per cent of fires,
big and little fires alike, could cas-
lily have been prevented.
It is a human ffailty to read such
a statement as this. reflect for a
moment on the horror Of it, and then
forget it with the mentally-made OBJ

there's better than an even chance

An up-to-date house is not neces- !

MARINES REACH NEW
MILESTONE

Born: Nov. 10. 1775)
He is always rather dapper.
But a real two-fisted scrapper,
Eager for a fight or frolic on any
foreign scene.
He is faithful, true and steady
AND he always has been ready
To uphold his country's honor
the United States Marine.
When the tide of war he's breasted
Never once has he protested.
Even though the odds against him
were enough to make him quail:
When the outlook was the gravest
He has always been the bravest.
For he knows the corps tradition.
a Marine must never fail!
So his birthday We'll remember
On the tenth day of November.
FOR the welfare of his country he
has been forever keen;
Always fair and hearted.
5ut a whirlwind when he's started.
He's a bulwark of the nation

100000 MORE ELECTRIFIED
FARMS

According to Charles W. KELLOGG
President of the Edison Electric In
stttute, the miles of rural lines be-
ing built by the electric light and
power companies this year are al
most twice the number built in 1885.
Nearly 100000 rural customers are
expected to take electricity from
these new lines, and $4,000 custom
ers Will be added to existing lines.
The average cost of the lines, in
cluding meters, transformers, ETC.,
Is about S1,250 per mile.
This should take some of the wind
out Of the sails of those who claim
that the private electric industry
isn't interested in advancing farm
electrifcation. The truth of the mat
ter is that the industry is Just as
eager as the farmers themselves. or
the critical politicians, to bring the
blessings of power to a larger part /
OF the nations farmers. But there |
are difficult problems involved tnat !
can't be worked out in a minute.
For instance. the principal cost
factor is charges on investment.
l MS years ngures show that the
investment of utility and
customer averages $476 to get pow
n to a farmer whose average bill
OF current consumed. in areas not
dominated by irrigation pumping, is
bout 81 per month. 1t is obvious ,
hat in many parts of the country / ,
economic conditions make it impos- I
ible to rapidly extend lines under l
hese circumstances.
Yet the power industry is working
onstantfy on the problem, and it is I
ding the limit in building new rural I
nes. 1t is cooperating to the fullest I
Stent with the farmer And the re- =
lit is that we are gradually attain r
lg rural electriication on sound '

lg private investments, not govern a

son and brother John r. Warren. Jr
who departed this life. November s
1895:
Our hearts are very sad today.
For our only son has gone
Far from our sight. our touch.
Into the great unknown.
One whole year has passed us by,
Since Jack went away;
Yet the pain grows keener
And sharper. day by day.
Friends may think wen soon forget
you.
And our wounded hearts be healed:
But they little know the sorrow.
Deep within our hearts concealed.
Our hearts are torn asunder.
'Tis hard to give you up;
But we pray that grace be given,
To drink this ehastening cup.
You are gone. but not forgotten,
You viii meet us here no more:
But we hope some day to meet you
On that Happy Golden Shore.
