BLACKBURN, East TRAINS 'HERE SAFELY "OPERATED | WUWCMRMF’E&[WM M—No‘Onler for an Increase of Trainmen Would lnceaquue of Safety—Defines Number in Train — In the matter of & general investi- gation. into the operation and man- ning’ of passenger and ' freight trains within the etate, to determine what regulations or recommenda- tions, if any, may be necessary for the safety and protection of the public or Pany operating. Such traine, ihe Con 0] e on- necticut public utilities commission has announced its finding, which is as fol- lows: ‘The conclusion of the commission as & result of th:‘rruent investigation is that in gene the freight and pas- senger trains -operated over the ralil- roads in this state are now sufficiently manned and operated with a degree of safety which no order for a general in- crease of trainmen would augment. ‘The permission granted by the rafl- road commissioners in May, 1896, un- der the provisions of section 3809 of the general statutes applied oi to the New York, New Haven and - ford Railroad company, and made no provision or distinction as to the type of car or coach, whether passenger, baggage, Pullman, malil, or express, and the second clause of the order or per- mission hereinbefore quoted appears to be Inconsistent with the previous clause. / To make more definite, therefore, and in the interest of uniformity ap- plicable to all steam raflroad compa- nies - operating revenue passenger trains in this state and having a sys- tem of brakes operated by the engi- neer, the commission deems it ad- visable to modify and amend sald per- mission and order, and the eame is %ureby modified and amended, as fol- ows: First. On all revenue passemger trains composed of not exceeding two cars and operated by any steam rail- road company over its lines in this state, there shall be at least one brake- man, who may be a baggageman. This provision, however, shall not apply to; electric street railway cars operating over oad tracks. Second. . On al.lt Tevenue )i::unm ‘trains pond of three or cars oo ot phsjor, dining, Sleeping, or - express cars) op- - railroad campany over its lines in this state, there shall be at least two brakemen, which may include as one of such the baggage- man, assistant conductor or ticket col- lector. Third. On “all revenue passenger trains composed of not less than five nor more than eight cars (exclusive of parlor, dining, sleeping, mail or express cars) operated by . any steam company over its lines in this state, there shall be at least three brakemen, which may include as one of such an assistant conductor or_ticket collector. Fourth. On all revenue trains composed of nine or more cars (exclusive of parlor, dining, sleeping, baggage, mail or express cars) aperat- ed by any steam railroad company over its lines in this etate, there shall be at least four brakemen, which may include as one of such an assistant conductor or ticket collector. Fifth. On all Pevenue passenger trains composed entirely of parlor, dining, sleeping, baggage, mail or ex- press cars operated by any steam rail- road company over its lines in.this state, there shall be at least two brake- men, one of which may be a basgage- man. Sixth. Nothing In this order and permission shall be construed to pre- vent a conductor, assistant conductor, ticket collector or baggageman from performing trainmen’s or brakemen’s dutfes. A combination baggage and smok- ing car shall count as one passenger car, and a club, official or private car shall be considered as a parlor car. It 1s not the intention of the com- mission that the foregoing permission and order shall be construed to apply to cases of emergency from time to time arising in the operation of the railroad, due to circumstances which may not be foreseen. WHEN THE ACADIANS WERE IN CONNECTICUT Parcelled Out Among the Towns—147 in Vicinity of Norwich, The interesting paper on the Aca- dians in Connecticut by Miss Julia Burbank, read recently at a meeting of the Ruth Wyllys chapter, D. A, R. invites a further recital of details con- cerning - the Acadians in Hartford, writes William DeLoss Love in the Hartford Times. A few of these ‘Neutral French” arrived in 1755 at New London and were quarantined there on account of the smallpox. The main company comprised about four hundred and ar- rived January 21, 1756. Others arrived on May 22. The former company were brought from Nova Scotia in Captain Rockwell's sloop and a dready voyage it must have been for these Acadian exiles. The general assembly appoint- ed a committee consisting of Hezekiah Huntington, Gurdon Saltonstall, Chris- topher Avery and Pygan Adams, to distribute them among the towns of the colony. Thirteen were allotted to Hartford., the same number of Wind- sor and nine to Wethersfield. An act was passed by the general assembly embodying the conditions of this dis- trbiution, and ordered to be printed and sent to each town. The select- men were required to care for them “as though they were inhabitants of the town.” Most of them were simple peasant farmers, so they were to be let out to suitable persons to work in the flelds. The act provided that the aged and sick were to be cared for at the expense of the town that received them. Theyv were forbidden to leave that town without a written permit. It was also ordered, to the credit of the general usembly that families were not to be uepa.mted. Some were, however, by mischance be- fore they reached Connecticut and the theme of Longfellow’s Evangeline was justified Dby their experiences. Paul Landre and his wife were sent to Maryland. Two of their children were placed in another ship and came to Woodbury in this state, where their parents later found them. The allot- ment for each locality was conveyed to the nearest seaport in New Lon- don vessels.. Thus they reached Ston- ington, Norwich, Saybrook, New Ha- ven and Fairfield. From Norwich, Thomas and Sumuei Leffingwell trans- ported In carts the parties for Can- terbury, Plainfleld and other inland towns. It is thought to have been about the first tof July, 1756, when the com- pany for Hartford arrived. ‘They were brought up the river in Captain Tin- ker’s sloop, the Hannah. Probably the number thirteen only included the adults. They had some portable house- hold goods, but their wealth in lands and herds had been left in Nova Sco- tia. Where they were at first housed is uncertain. On December 6, 1757, however, the town of Hartford pass- ed a resolution to build or procure a house for them as no comfortable hab- itation could be hired for them. The house they lived in, or which was then hired for them, was located on the southeast corner of Trumbull and Pearl streets. They were an in- dustrious people, peace loving and do- mestic, very like the Belgians. Thus the first company of Roman Catholics known to have settled in Hartford were these simple French peasants, exiled, as Longfellow's poem relates with- such pathos, from the land of Evangeline. In 1767 these Acadians petitioned the general assembly for transportation back to their native land. Their old homes and lands, they state, had been taken by others. but the government of Canada had offered to settle them in a desirable place. In their petition they describe themselves as havinb llvad for eleven years as “Strangers in a strange land, among a people of a different tongue and religion,” com- forting themselves with the hope that, after the trouble of war was over, they could have liberty to return to their );damelnnd. The petitioners represent- of “forty persons.” No |band. taken company action is known to have been on this request, but they p-robably Te- turned shortly afterwards to Canada. In 1766 a similar petition was made in behalf of ome hundred and forty- seven Acadians living in the vicinity of Norwich. The following year Cap- tain Richard Leffingwell sailed from New London with a company of two hundred and forty. Let us hope that the descendants :of these = old-time guests of Hartford are uvinz ‘happily somewhere in the north lan Told to Leave the Town. Mr. and Mrs. William Hickey of Fall River; each 62 years of age, ac- cused of being drunk in Taftville were told to get out of town by Judge Kel- ley in the police court on Thursday LAST DAY FOR PAYING PERSONAL TAX. Collector T. A. Robinson Will Proceed to Make Out Dollnquent List. Tax Collector Thomas A. Robinson had a number of callers Thursday at his office in the town hall and also kept the office open uv to 8 o'clock in the evening to receive the payment of the 1913 personal tax by those who up to this time have been delinquent. Thursday was the limit for the tax te be paid.’ The tax collector will now proceed to make up the delinquent list for handing over to the prosecuting attor- ney. Just how many there would be on the list he said on Thursday he could not tell. The 1913 personzl tax was due on Feb. 1, 1914. The law which covers the collection of the personal tax is Chapter 222 of the public acts of 1913, Section 8,which is as follows: Section 8. When any person shall neglect or refuse to pay his personal tax so assessed against him or any uncollected poll or military tax after payment of the same shall have been duly demanded by the collector by per- sonal demand or by depositing in some postoffice in said town, postage pre- paid, a written demand for said tax, addressed to such person at his last known place of residence, the tax col- lector of the town wherein such tax is laid shall notify a grand juror of such town, or, if in a town where a town, city, police or borough court is esta lished, the prosecuting attorney or of- ficer of such town. city, police or bor- ough court of such neglect or refusal with all data and information nece: sary to draft a complaint in the prem- ises, and such grand juror or prosecut- ing attorney or officer shall prefer his complaint to any justice of the peace residin~ in such town, or to such town, city, police or borough court establish- ed therein, alleging the non-payment of said tax, and such justice of the peace or court shall thereupon cause such delinquent taxpayer to be arrested and brought before such justice or court. Any policeman or patrolman upon such complaint -being preferred and the is- suance of a warrant thereon, may ar- rest such delinquent taxpayer and im- mediately present him before such jus- tice or court. Such justice or court shall thereupon hear and determine such case and, if no proper or euffi- cient reason is shown by such delin- quent taxpayer why such tax has not been paid, shall order the accused to stand committed to the jail or work- house in the county until such tax, with interest thereon and all costs of proceedings, shall be paid. All town, city, police and borough courts shall have all the powers and jurisdiction conferred upon them necessary to hear and try all complaints arising under this act, and proceed therein to final judgment and execution accordinz to law. Any person committed to.jail under the provisions of this section shall be required to do such work as his physical condition may allow and shall be discharged when his labor at the rate of $1 a day shall amount to said tax and interest and costs, taxed as in criminal cases, and including the sum of $2.25 per week for board dur- ing ‘such commitment, and thereupon the county commissioners shall pay to the treasurer of the municipality from which the delinquent was committed the amount o fsuch tax, with the costs taxed by the authority committing such delinguent. —_—— American cotton gins are being In- stalled in South Africa. —_— FEEL YOUNG? s Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets For You! - Beware of the habit of constipation.
