I W. THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1906. IN SCHOOL, PUPILS HUSTLED, Blaze Started In Closet At the Bartlett School In New Britain. HIGH GALE OF WIND BLEW DOWN HOUSE. Second Ticket In First Ward Complaint Against a Nurse- -Fire In a Drying Kiln.

(Special to The NEW BRITAIN, Friday, March 23. A small fire started in the Bartlett School yesterday forenoon. Smoke was smelled in the kindergarten, apparently coming from a closet. One of the teachers opened the door and ilames burst out. The children were hurried out of the room and word was hastily sent to the principal, Miss Elizabeth V.

Leghorn, who sent in still alarm to Engine Company No. 3. In the meantime Janitor Kallberg had gotten out the hose and the fire was quickly put out. The damage was merely nominal. It is believed that the fire was caused from overheating.

Pipes from the furnace run close against the beams under the closet and there is not a particle of protection. Here is where the fire started. The janitor did not have as. much fire up in the furnace as sometimes but it is probable that the timbers had become charred so they finally caught. The closet was filled with wearing apparel belonging to the children but it was not damaged.

Six Hundred New Voters. The registrars were in session most of the day yesterday to receive applications to be made voters. During the sitting about sixty applicants called. As in the case of the caucus registration, most of the applications either came through the mail or are handed to the registrars personally. Altogether they have received 610 applications to be made.

They have not been sorted out, SO there are some duplicates among them. Registrar W. H. Scheuy was asked about the number of Polish applications, as so many people of this nationality the have come to the city of late years. said they were a good deal fewer in number than one would naturally expect.

He had not looked them over carefully yet, but estimates there were about 35. This is the first time that applications for making voters have been received in the spring time, the right being contained in the new charter. The showing is very gratifying. Most of the new voters are republicans, and this will have considerable effect on the coming caucus, where the contests on the clerkship and collectorship are expected. The selectmen and town clerk will be in session for the purpose of making voters next week Saturday and Monday.

These will be the only two chances given. They will sit from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m.

and the naturalization court will be in session at the same time. Tariff on Leather. Local shoe dealers are deeply interested in the effort to get the tariff on leather reduced. George L. Damon, one of the leading dealers, wrote to the senators and congressmen from Conject, and he received letters in renecticut in this interests of the proply from them.

The answers are very courteous tone. Mr. Damon says that shoe dealers all over the country are writing to their representatives in Congress the same way. He states that the cheaper grades of shoes are principally affected by the tariff. The man who buys a five dollar pair of shoes does not feel it so much, as the labor enters in as a large factor and the price has not advanced, but on the cheaper grades, which are made by machinery with as little labor as possible and where the material alone counts, the case is different.

Shoes which were formerly $1.50 cannot be had now for less than two dollars. The tariff hits worse on sole leather than anything else, owing to the supply not being up to the demand. Looks More and More Like Landers. The probabilities that the democratic caucus will indorse Alderman George M. Landers for mayor look brighter and brighter as the election draws nearer.

A number of the leaders of the party have declared themselves for him, and there seems to be no candiwho wants to face the inevitable crushing defeat which running against him would mean. One of the promiment democrats stated last evening he ders for mayor than any democrat he would rather vote for George go M. Lanknew of. The rank and file of the party was for him. If the democrats do indorse him it will mean a splendid launching for the new government under consolidation.

No smoother sailing could be possible. Mr. Landers is in all probability the only man whom both parties would be willing to tie up to at the present time, House Was Blown Over. A house in process of construction was blown down by the heavy wind yesterday. It was located at the north end of High street.

The framework was up for both and the laying of floor timbers stories, been begun. It went down in a heap. The building wag owned by Pole. May Have Branch Store Here. The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company of New York may open a branch tea store in the Y.

M. C. A. building. The store is now occupied by the C.

J. White Company, who are going out of business. He has a lease for another year, but it is understood the Y. M. C.

directors will release him from his contract. Charles Porter Wilson of York, the general manager of the company, was here yesterday to look the ground over and was favorably impressed. Fire in Drying Kiln. Fire broke out in the drying kiln in the basement of building No. 3 at' the Stanley Rule and Level Company yesterday morning.

An alarm was sounded by the Corbin whistle from 26, but there was a good deal of confusion. as the people were not used to it. Three lines of hose were laid and it required a good deal of water to drown out the flames. The fire was confined to the Inside of the kiln. The door blew open by an explosion of gases, and some pieces of lumber were ejected with such force that a box at the other alde of the room was broken.

Some firemen were in front of the were door. but they down near the floor SO they escaped being hit. If the door been forced open when it hadn't was a much more serious explosion might have 00- curred. The stock but not damaged much. was watersoaked, It will have to be dried over again.

The damage is said to be nominal. Second Ticket in Field. was announced yesterday that a complete second ticket has been formed to run in the First Ward republican caucus. A. J.

Reynolds withdrew from the race as alderman a few days and it looked as if, perhaps, Hiram Oldershaw might have the field alone. but now Philip Diehl has been induced Air. Oldershhis. Mr. friends to Reynolds's enter against candidacy did not receive the encouragement which was expected.

He is an ex-50cialist and that put a damper on it. Diehl has as his running mates for councilmen John Boyle, the ex-fire commissioner, A. L. Klunker, George W. and William F.

Lange. Chinaman Again Absent. Samuel Waskowitz was before the police court yesterday charged with neglecting to clean off his sidewalk at the corner of North and Willow streets. He not guilty. Officer Hellberg testitied that there was willful neglect on the part of the owner.

He was fined $1 with costs, amounting to $7.42. Sumner M. Jones and Albert Tartat pleadguilty to having neglected to clean the walk at No. 63 Greenwood street. They were fined $1 without costs.

Benjamin Greenstein was charged with neglecting to clean the walk in Winter street and pleaded not guilty. He was fined $1 and costs. Mr. Waskowitz and Mr. Greenstein took appeals.

One gave bonds for the other. The adjourned case of William Donahue, charged with assaulting Fred Wung, was called but the Chinaman was again absent from court. Officer Coyle was sent to the laundry to look him but it was locked. Prosecuting Attorney Gussman asked to have the case continued until Saturday in order that he might be found. He said he had it on good authority Joe Donahue, the brother of the accused, had scared him away.

P. F. McDonough, for the accused, said he was not particular in regard to adjourning the case, but he thought his client should be discharged. The witness had committed contempt of court, and he was unable to see why the Chinaman was entitled to any more privileges than other people. It was not the first time for the prosecutor to say the witnesses for the state were kept away without good grounds for saying so.

Mr. Gussman said he had just been informed threats had been made against witness. Mr. McDonough replied thee prosecutor was stultifying himself in the case. He had witness in his office in the afternoon the day before, and there was nothing about threats then.

He was also in the station in the evening and promised the chief to be in court in the morning. The case was continued until Saturday. capias is out for the Chinaman. After court another Chinaman came in and said that Wung gone to Boston to in his get an interpreter case. Collection of Tin Cans.

The health committee held a meeting last night and voted to request the ordinance committee not to make some of the changes which it has proposed in the plumbing ordinances recommended by the committee. members of the health committee feel particularly that it would be an unwise move to strike out then provision requiring a wiped joint, allowing a soldered joint as well. The committee will ask to have the clause necessitating the wiped joint alone reinstated. The resolution of Alderman George M. Landers referred to the committee in reference to having the garbage collector collect tin cans as well as garbage was discussed.

It was decided to ask the garbage collector to submit an estimate of the cost. It will necessitate a separate collection for tin cans. A number of complaints were received against back yards which are in unsanitary shape, and arrangements were made to order them cleaned up. Estimate on West Main Street Sewer. the difference in the two sets of figures.

Sons of St. George Cribbage. City Engineer F. Oldershaw explained Sin regard to his estimate on the West Main street sewer between which and the bids submitted by the contractor there was a considerable discrepancy, that he did not figure the rock into account. He states that it is not customary for him to include rock in his estimate a for the sewer department as the amount of rock is an unknown quantity.

His estimate included the number of yards of excavating, amount of pipe and joints. This can be accurately guaged but it impossible to tell the amount of rock. It may be more or less than the engineer would figure on. The contractor's figures should be submitted on this basis with provision allowed for 80 much extra for rock, according to the amount encountered, to be of any value in a comparison with the engineer's estimate. This will account for The Hartford and Bristol Sons of St.

George played their games in the three cornered cribbage tournament between the Hartford, Bristol and local lodges last night in Vega Hall. The Bristol players won out by a score of 21 to 15. At the close of the games coffee and sandwiches were served. New Britain played its games previously and wins the tournament, having a percentage of 63. Death of William L.

Potts. William L. Potts, aged 84 years, died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Nelson A. Crane.

He was a native of Greenpolnt, N. Y. He came to New Britain about thirty years ago. A TORPID THINKER The Frequent Result of Coffee Poisoning. A Toledo, business man says that three years he had no appetite for breakfast; that about once a month he ate solid food at that meal, generally contenting himself with his cup of coffee and having no desire for anything else.

Coffee frequently plays this dog the trick; while it furnishes no nutriment itself, it destroys the appetite for food which is nutritious. The result was, in time, a torpid mentality, which was a distinct handicap in his business operations. "Last Christmas," he says, "I consulted my brother, a practicing physician in Chicago, and he advised a diet of Postum Food Coffee, instead of the old kind, and also Grape-Nuts food. Since that time I have followed his advice with most excellent results. My brain is active and clear in the morning when it naturally should be at its best: I no longer have the dizzy spells that used to make me apprehensive; have gained materially in flesh and feel better in every way.

"The Postum seems to be no less a food than the Grape-Nuts, and the two together fill all requirements. My wife has tried several of the recipes in little booklet and we have enyour joyed the result, but to my mind GrapeNuts food 19 best when served with sliced fruit and covered with cream." Name given by Postum Battle Creek. Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book.

C. The funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Bell officiating. New Burritt School Principal.

A. M. Eldridge has been selected by the committee on teachers to be recommended for principal of the Burritt School. He is a graduate of Bridgewater Normal School, and has had four years' experience in grade teaching. He comes here from Highland Military Academy at Worcester, Mass.

Other changes are also made at the same school. Miss Anna Ross has resigned her position, which she has held there for three years, to accept a place in Canada at an increase in salary. The vacancy has been filled by transfer. Miss Grace Flannery has been engaged for a position in a lower grade, and Miss Burke is promoted to Miss Ross's room. Miss Flannery graduated from the normal school last fall.

Miss Cornelia Polson, who finished her normal school course last January, has also been engaged at the Burritt School. Miss Margaret McEvoy, teacher in fifth and sixth grade work at the grammar school building, has resigned to accept a place Hartford. Her position is filled by arranging a transfer teach- ers. Nurse Robbed Employer. Chief Rawlings received a complaint yesterday that a nurse, who was hired by a family in Olive street, had stolen a dress, skirt, silver knives, forks and spoons.

They were missed after she left the house. She was suspected but no action serine taken until the nurse called to former patient again. The latter and another party suggested returning home with the nurse, as they wanted a chance look around. The nurse pretended to be delighted, but made an excuse to get home ahead of her callers. The ladies hurried to the house and smelled clothing burning.

One of them looked in the stove and saw some of the missing goods. The chief instructed the complainant to get a warrant from the prosecuting attorney. Notes. The special ordinance committee will meet this evening. Miss Violet Beyer of Whiting street is convalescing from an attack of the grip.

OPENING AT QUIGLEY'S. Fine Showing in This Popular Store. The formal spring opening at "Quigley's" is most favorably commented on.

Many new gowns. coats, skirts and waists of most attractive model are shown, these for the most part being the fashions of their own expert delineators. and showing a marked exclusiveness of style and fabric. No effort is made to exploit "show" models; all are practical and the wanted kinds in quiet elegance, good taste and dependable material and workmanship. A few mentions of exceptional merit may be made.

A Princess gown of Alice blue chiffon taffeta, being a most harmonious combination of narrow plaiting effect in both waist and skirt, quiet but rich. A black silk Eton jacket of glace taffeta has white ottoman silk revers, elbow length sleeves, shirred in at arm vents and terminating with turned back cuffs, a deep crushed girdle of self material and ornaments of encrusted gilt buttons. An opera coat of cream white French broadcloth fittingly represents the coat department. The design is most pleasing and yet quiet. coat is full and white satin lined.

The collar and yoke are of attractive design in panne velvet. Other embellishments are trimmings of dresden buttons, gold military braid and Persian bands. The store is attractively decorated with natural palms and plants. DOUBLE TRACKING OF THE HIGHLAND. HOW WORK FROM BRISTOL TO WATERBURY WILL BE DONE.

UNDERTAKING WILL COST VERY NEARLY 82.000.000. Many Sharp Curves to be Eliminated More than Two Miles Will be Saved by the Improvements. (Special to The Courant.) Bristol, March 22. The greatest railroad undertaking of the present generation in this section is about to be commenced. when the New York.

New Haven Hartford Railroad Company starts to double track the Highland Division from this WATERVILLE GREYSTONE WHEATONS TRUMELL TRRYVILLE CUT ROCKY BRISTOL DOUBLE TRACKING WEST OF BRISTOL. Plain line shows the present road. Crossed line shows the new layout. town to Waterbury, a distance of fourteen miles. The last big railroad job that was done in this locality was when the Main street grade crossing was removed in 1900, and the town has hardly recovered from it yet.

This later work of double tracking will offer problems in engineering that will give people along the line plenty things to talk about for a couple of years. It is known that the railroad company has been dissatisfied with the present trackage to Waterbury 1 for some years, and, several times within A generation, surveys have been made by engineers to try and remedy the present route. One of these running the tracks along the of South Mountain, south of the borcugh and thus. get into Waterbury that way, but there are important manufacturing interests to be taken care of and the northern route through Bristol center is the one that will be clung to for many years to come. An engineer has already arrived in town to take charge of the work and he will for the next year or more.

Smith of Danbury is to stash re have charge of the work. A corps of men will arrive shortly and assist in the engineering work. will also be started from the Waterbury end of line and the two gangs will work towards each other. The big job under contemplation, and which will be carried out during the next eighteen months, will cost the railroad company at least $1.700,000. The elimination of the grade crossing in Bristol several years ago is understood to have cost not far from $100,000, and the removal of the Terryville grade crossing cost about $50,000 more, so it is seen that the company are spending a good deal of money in this section.

Line Very Crooked. The old line between here and Waterbury is about as crooked as a ram's horn. The track from Hartford out to Bristol is all right but, when the heavily laden trains pass Bristol and try to get to Waterbury, over he summit, as it is called, the experfence is a good deal like that of Northern Pacific trains as they are going over the divide in the Rocky Mountains. The work of double tracking the line from here westward is for the purpose of eliminating grades, shortening the distance and making it possible for far better time to be made between here and Waterbury. As it is at present the distance of fourteen miles is hardly covered in forty minutes, so it is seen that the running time is very slow.

The grades will be materially cut and distances shortened but, the principal achievement of the change, is to make it possible for heavily laden passenger and frieght trains to make time between here and Waterbury. The sharp curves at present make this almost impossible as a glance at the map accompanying this article shows. The distance now is practically fourteen miles, 1 but by the changes the distance saved will be about two miles, with straight sailing for trains. The principal changes will be between this town and what is called the little of Terryville station. "The tracks, from Bristol passenger station the place called "the rock a mile northwest of Bristol, will remain the same, and the siding track through the Bristol freight yards will be used as the extra track.

There are already two tracks over the Main street bridge, so that is provided for. When the rock cut is reached the new line, as will be seen by the drawing, will branch off by itself and follow an entirely independent course of its own. which will put out of business the old line that has twisted engines and spoiled the tempers of engineers for years. The new line will take a westerly direction towards Terryville and. in pursuing the new layout, will cross the tracks of the old line six times in a distance of five miles, so it can be seen what a lot of curving will be done away with.

The new tracks will cross the lots near the house of Edward Fitzpatrick on the Terryville road and come out very near the roadway. The tracks will be almost seventy feet above Mr. Fitzpatrick's house and go quite close his dwelling, thus practically putting him out of business. The Terryville passenger station will necessarily have to be moved from its present location although it is at present over a mile from the center of the village. The new tracks will cross the road to Bristol, near the home of Louis Burg, and from all that can be learned the new station for Terryville will be near the present plant of the Bristol Specialty Company.

This will necessitate Terryville people coming half way to Bristol to take the train to get out: of town. The Biggest Obstacle. Halt a mile west of Terryville will be encountered the big feat of the whole job, that of tunneling through the mountain, a distance of 3,525 feet, and straightening up the line from the present ox -bow curve that has proven so disagreeable. 'The present grades are from 75 to 110 feet to the mile and the average grade is 75 feet to the mile, which is extremely heavy in any country, even the Rocky Mountains. The new tracks will reduce this grade from 75 feet to the mile to 57.

There are seventeen curves between here and Terryville, at the present time, and with the new tracks there will be only four, thus eliminating thirteen, and reducing the curves to a remarkable degree. The length of the old line between Bristol and the proposed tunnel is 25,278 feet, a little less than five miles. while the new line will be only 19.339 feet thus saving a trackage of 5,939 feet. The new line will also cut out entirely 1,022 degrees of curvature, which is equal in engineering terms, to three revolutions and a half. The change of grade from an average of 75 feet to the mile to 57 on the new line cuts down 18 feet to the mile and puts the new track about 25 feet under the present one at Terryville.

This gives the traveler who is unacquainted with railroading some idea of the magnitude of the proposed changes. The work of building the new line from here to the tunnel will be most elaborate. There will be four new bridges on the new line of from 12 to 25 foot span, and the masonry will all be concrete. Most of the excavations between this town and Terryville, will be steam shovel work and several of the cuts will be 75 feet high and one side hill cut will be over 90 feet. The 90 foot cut contains over 150,000 yards and will be a big piece of work.

The tunnel that goes through the mountain west of Terryville will be lined with brick throughout. From the tunnel west to Waterbury there will be nothing usual in the work to be done, and it will be straight railroading, so to speak. The old line at present has eighteen curves from that point to Waterbury and the new one will have thirteen, thus saving five bad curves. new tracks will save in distance 550 feet and 189 degrees of curvature. When the new tracks approach Waterbury they will be included in the improvements that are being made in that city at the present time.

Stations Will Stand. It was thought at one time that the double tracking of the line from here to Waterbury would necessitate moving the Bristol freight and passenger stations, but it is generally understood now this will not have to be done, sO that the two stations will stand where they are at present. The Terryville station will get moved. The third rail track here to Hartford will serve as the double track that side of Bristol, and it is understood that A scheme is being worked out the electrical department of the company to have cars propelled by overhead trolley instead of third rail. When the improvements are completed the saving in distance from Waterbury to Hartford will be two miles or more, and it will permit a.

much faster running time than heretofore. This line will in all probability be used in Makes you Eat, Sleep Twenty- Second and Year Feel Better MO IE Millions For Sale of Bottles By Sold Annually All Dealers 06A102: time to come for an express route between Bridgeport and Boston. It is indeed possible for an express passenger service between New York and Boston to go over this line, and it all looks as if the plans of the company tended more and more to take Bristol and Waterbury out of the "branch line" class and give them the through service between the two large cities. -The average small boy doesn't care particularly about soap, so long as he can get the soap Record.
