Consolidated Railroad Intends to Ac
quire All Trolley Roads in State.
It Is the intention of the ew York,
New Haven and Hartford riailroad to
purchase control of all of the import-,
ant trolley, roads in the state, accord
ing to a statement of the road's plans
made yesterday by an official of the
railroad.
, Plans to this end were discussed at
a recent meeting of men who outline
thn policy of the New Haven road.
This is known to be a fact, as the au-J
thority for the statement could not
be better. The purchase of control of
the lifiiir Haven and Westville road is,
as a matter of fact, a very small mat
ter in connection wilth the plans
which the; road intends to. carry out
Some time ago when a certain of
ficial of the railroad was relieved he,
in conversation with a reporter, quot
ed offers which had been made by the
New Haven for certain trolley lines
which then dild. or Intended to paral
lel the steam road. In nearly every
case these offers were rejected and on
hecount of the so-called cheese-paring
policy of the road at that time, the
plan was abandoned because it in
volved so great an expenditure.
It can be stated, however, without
fear of contradiction tttat ' this
scheme has been revived and under
the president administration of the
steam rond will be carried to a suc
cessful end. '
There was a meeting of some of the
directors of th New Haven road In
New York yesterday, but whether
thisf matter was" taken up could not
b0 learned as the New Haven direc
tors were not .Inclined to talk.

HancocK Man Came to Waterbory t '
Get Rltf of a Two7 Tears Growth
Brakemen and passengexa on tha
train from Hartford; which arrives In
this city at 8:05 every morning ex-
cept Sunday, were much startled by
the appearance of a man who board
ed the. train at Hancock on Monday
morning. They could scarcely be-
lieve their own eyes. Some thought '
that Itlp Van Winkle hiad risen from
the sleep which Is bound to come to ,
all, and was again an Inhabitant of
this sphere. But their -thoughts '
were wad of the mark. The sight
which surprised and startled them
was a man with a long shaggy
beard, untrlmmed, which was nearly
two feet long. Hils hair was as shag-V
long and apparently had not beenX
touched with a comb for many
months. The curly locks fell over
hig neck and lay strewn about his
shoulders. His forehead and part of
hi8 face were concealed by the hair,
and In certain places hU nalr and
beard had met and become so Inter
woven that it was Impossible for the
observer to tela which was which. It
was no wonder that the passengers
were startled. The mian might have
made a little fortune for himself or
somebody else by exhibiting himself
In : dime museums. But he was no
fading vision. He wa8 not Rip Van
WSnkle, but Preston Goodrich of Han
cock, who lias lived in that place
for about two and a half years 'and
during that time. It is said, bad not
received a shavft or a. haircut until
last Monday. On that day he came
to Waterbury and had hJs superfluous
supply, of lock8 removed1, v -
Preston Goodrich lived with an old
and aged man, James Scarrett of Han
cock, who died Sunday. Goodrich
came from Wisconsin about three
yeiairs ago and at once took up hi res
idence with Mr Scarrett, who la said
to have been one of his 'relative.
Scarrett wag about 79 year old and
Goodrich about 30. The two men,
alone, occupied the, house. They kept
much to themselves ani the neigh
bors knew little about them. Mr Scar
rett was born and always lived! In the
house where he died. Neighbors say
that the furthest he had ever been
from home during his entire life was
Waterbury... His compandon con
formed very much to his Ideas of life
and was contented to stay at the
house in Hancock and. the sur
rounding woods. To all appearances
mo happier or more contented'' couple
lived than these two.. - " ,
But a change came. The old man
grew sick and died. Then it was
that the youngi man decided that he
must get rid of his extra supply of
beard and hair In order that he might
appear in a presentable condition at
the funeral. Hence the trip to Water
bury. Brakemen- who saw the man ;
when he left Hancock and again
when he was returning state that
tbey could hardly bell ere was th
same man. i t ;
THE GREGORIAN HANT.
In a Short Time Women's Voices Hay
Not be Heard In Catholic Cbolrs
, Bishop Tierney has not yet Issued
instructions to his priests in reference
to the decision of the pope on the mat
ter of - reforming church music, says
the-Hartford Times. The reforms,
contemplated by the pope, include the .
adoption of the ; Gregorian chant,
wnich is solemn and impressive, and
the substitution of choirs composed en
tirely of male voices for the present
mixed choirs. Bishop McDonnell of
Brooklyn and Bishop O'Connell of
Portland, Me, have already taken ac
tion on the matter. It Is understood
that Archbishop Williams of Boston,
the ecclesiastical province to which
the diocese of Hartford 'belongs, will
issn a circular In a short time In con
formity with the decision of the pope,
A prominent priest of this diocese
treated to-day that it will take some ,
tima to make the alterations In the
church choirs required by the decision
Of the pope. In the first place it will
be necessary to adopt music. In all
probability a committee of prominent
ecclesiastics will be appointed by the '
bishops of the Catholic church in the
United States to pass on the music
with the view of securing uniformity
throughout the country. After uie
committee has made a report to the
authorities of the church the music , '
will be published. Then It will be
necessary to organise the choirs of
male voices and to train the singers In
the rendering of the Gregorian chant.
It will take from six to nine months
to have everything in readiness for
the. substitution of the Gregorian chant
for the music that is used at present
at the services. "
When the Gregorian chant shnll be
adopted there will be no longer female
voices in the chOlTs at the ordinary
services of the church. It is said there
will be a concession to permit of the
singing of favorite hymns at funerals
and weddings. - L;
There Is also some talk to the effect'
that the POP contemplates ordering t -reform
in the dress.of priests, and tha
they will be required to wear ttaeirH
cassocks on the street, gsme as the .
clergy on the continent of Europe andx
In the province of Quebec.
