The gross nounted to $7,926,250, comparing with $9,040,351 last year. Net was ?1. 588,513, against $2,721,-429. For the five months ending with No vember the road showed gross earn ings of $44,744,039, against $44,146, 241 in the corresponding, period .last year. Net totalled $12,479,6.70, against $13,699,750. .Vice-President Hobbs, of the Bos ton & Maine, who is- also comptroller ', of the Vermont Railway, asked for bids some time ago for an offering of $2,300,000 one year 6 per cent, notes : to take up indebtedness for construct -ing the Brattle bo ro extension,' and ac quiring the Montpelier & Wells River, ! Bar re & Barre branch roads. No bids were received. , Missouri Pacific sold on' the Stock Exchange at 23, a decline of 1 points from the previous closing, and the lowest at which it has sold since March, 1898. . Erie Railroad Co. has applied to the second district Public Service Com-, mission for authority to Issue $2,000, 000 of general lien bonds under its first consolidated mortgage, dated De cember 10, 1895. The most important bond offering , scheduled for the near future is the : issuer of $51,000,000- 50 year 4 per I cent. New York State bonds for which ; bids will be asked some time near the close of January. The effect of the announcement stating that the bonds , were to be offered was to depress out standing state issues from 1 to 2 : points, and generally to cause a rela tively heavy tone throughout the market- New York state bonds "had been celling on about a 4.05 per cent, basis snd the decline "brought some of them down where their yield is 4.15 per cent. If the new 4 s could be sold on that basis they would bring about 107. The large size of the new issue, and the fact that it will "N be a high premium 'bond, however, will make the price received at the sale some what lower than the corresponding ; level of the 4s at the time. Trading in the new bonds, when issued, began around lOS1, but close the week around 104. The Stock Exchange's committee on securities has made a ruling with re gard to the recent financing' done by Canadian Pacific Railway, entitling common stockholders to" subscribe to an-issue of $52,000,000 6 per cent, notes certificates to the extent of 20 per cent, of their holdings. Therul ing is that all transactions in the stock on December 23, except those made for cash, shall be ex-rights, and that rights may be dealt In after that date. American Beet Sugar Co. is quite certain to show the 6 per cent, divi dend earned on its $5,000,000 prefer red stock in the current fiscal year. However, there will be little left for the common stock, and there is small hope of resumption of dividends on this issue for some time to come. The company is in good financial condi tion with iet quick assets of $2,400, 000, Including over $800,000 cash, and with no bills payable. The company is now practically a self financing proposition and rarely borrows money outside of its own banks. , In answering the Government's charge that it is a monopoly in r-3-' straint of trade, the American Can Co. will be able to submit figures showing that since its formation there has been a steady .reduction in the price of cans.

' Miss Elinor Gros Claude, who pur chased the old Peter Hall homestead on North Main street claims that her deeds cover the triangular piece of land known as Fiat-Iron Park for more than a century, and owned and occupied by the people of the center as a public park for more than fifty years, and objects to the state ap proaching a corner of it for the road purposes. The O'Brien Construction company, have paid no heed to her re monstrances, and the selectmen asslre them that the park so far as it makes a boundary line between the Dan-bury road on the west and the Brookfield turnpike on the east is town property and consequently the town will inter pose no objection to the work - o? straightening the state trunk line. Miss Gros Claude had the records searched by Judge dif Probate Beecher preliminary, to purchase and insists that the latter's search of title is au thoritative, and that it distinctly gives her title to about one-fifth-of an acre Neckwear, collars, shirts, underwear, pajamas,muf flers, gloves, handker chiefs, suspenders, belts, garters,combinatipn sets, slippers, umbrellas,canes, mackinaws, sweaters, house jackets, bath robes, raincoats, slip-ons, cuff links, pins, tie holders, fobs, chains, full dress sets, etc, and all at RIGHT PRICES of land in dispute lying between the arc formed by the before- mentioned roads. It looks as though litigation may intervene, and thus delay opera tions on the state road work as the perative owner has forbidden the con struction company from encroaching on her property, . but this order has been ignored as above stated, -and a small force of new men are at work today.

HINDLE'S DRUG STORE. m : "My Mamma Says - sgvi lis Safe for "SllSf Children" 3k CONTAINS m- OPIATES -feVC Secret Session of Board Lasts Three Hours ' Before Agreement Is Reached. At a secret session which lasted nearly three hours last . night, the board of education arranged to award the contract for the building of the new high school. Closeted with the board were Superintendent of Schoola Charles W. Deane, James G. Rogers, the architect who lrew the plans for the school, his assistant, C. P. S. Card wood and, during a part of the time. Miss Alice M. Durkin of the firm of Durkin & Dass, the successful hidders for the contract. The school will cost $312,000 com plete without the wings. This is a reduction of about $3,500 from the original bid of this firm, but the firm takes a chance of getting bonds voted to build the wings, and proposed to build these for $58,500. As the origi nal bid of the concern for the build ing without the wings was. $55,000, it simply gets back the money allowed on the main huilding if the wings are built. ' This price is for terra cotta columns. The firm agrees to take the Kelly house which is on the property near Lyon Terrace where the new high school will be located, and if the wings are tmilt to substitute lime stone' columns at $8,000 less than the total price originally bid. Commissioners Webster and Havens were in consultation with Miss Dur kin and her building superintendent. Paul Grillo, at the Stratfleld hotel for an hour before the board met. When they reached the board, meeting Mr. Webster immediately moved that the board go into executive session and that the newspaper men be excluded. After the executive session members of the board said that the three hours they were in session had been taken up in an effort to have Miss Durkin agree to huild' the school for a-lower figure. Little , of the money which Is pai-5 for the school will remain in- Bridge port. The contractors are New York people. Almost all the material used in the building will be bought outside of Bridgeport. The excavation for the school will be dug with a steam shovel. Most of the labor-used on the building will be imported as the Durkin & Lass people do not think they can get suitable labor in Bridgeport.. It is said that even .the carts and men who- will carry away what is dug by the steam shovel will be brought here from New York. The architect will receive more than $18,000 for his fee for the building without the wings and more than $21, 000 if the wings are added later. Mr. Rogers has offices in New York. . Last night a number of agents in terested"' In selling ' workmen's com pensation insurance to employers were about the ante-room of the school board offices waiting to see the award of the contract. These agents said If the board required contractors to re figure on the school -the price would be higher instead of lower, as the first figures did not Include premiums for workmen's compensation. 1 The motion by ,which the contract was awarded was made by Commis sioner Bishop and was as follows: "Voted that the contract- for the erection of (the main building of the high scho.ol, without wings but with heating, ventilation, plumbing and electric work, he written with the low est bidders at a sum -total for. said work not to exceed the sum of $312, 000; provided that dates and pay ments satisfactory to the board are agreed upon, and further provided that it is agreed that the board shall have the right to demand the build ing of the wings and the substitution of limestone columns at a total price not to exceed $8,000 less than the price originally bid, with wings and limestone columns. The board is to transfer to the general contractor the Kelly house to be removed when di rected by the board provided author ity so to do is given by the common council." ' ... To pave the way for the council acting in the matter, of the Kelly house the following resolution was drawn and on the -motion -of Commis sioner Boardman, seconded by Com missioner Colonel Havens, it was also carried unanimously: ... "That the board of education peti tion the common council for author ity, to sell or make other disposition of the Kelly house and for a re-appropriation of the avails thereof to Its use for use in the erection of a high schol, and recommended to the com mon council .the "adoption of - the fol lowing resolution: "Resolved, that the board of educa tion be and they are hereby authorized to make such disposition as to them may seem best of the Kelly house, situation on Golden Hill street on a portion of the property to be used as the site of the high school or to sell and convey title to the same, and, "Further resolved, that the benefits thereof or the avails thereof, be ap propriated to the board -of education for use or disposition by them in the erection of a new high school."

Special Policemen Charles Murphy and Harris Rahn will be given a hear ing tonigbt at a special session of the police board to defend charges prefer red by Superintendent Eugene Birm ingham alleging that they did not con duct themselves properly while on duty at a dance in Eagles' hall. The charges were investigated by the com mittee on discipline and were con sidered to be of a nature warranting the consideration of all of the com missioners. It is also expected that there will be a consideration of the annual budget and there Is an intima tion that this will include an attempt to push through some of the "police improvements'' advocated by the ' ad ministration.
