The decision of Judge Pholps In tho Superior Court of Clinton Is of tho utmost Im portance in Its bearings nu tho Connea ttcut Governorship contest now la tho courts. A Democrat contested tho election Inst October of a Republican Selectman on the ground that the Republican ballots were left blank as to certain ofllces, or had names pasted or written over blanks. Judge Phelps found thnt, owing to flaws In the ballots of both parties, not a single legal ballot had beau cast ta Clinton at tho last election. By ajraa incut of both sides nil the law points in volved wero reserved for the Supreme Court of tho State at Its January ses sion. These will thus roach the Su promo Court not long, after Its decision in the quo warranto case. Tho highly important quostton is about tho legality of tho Prohibition blank ballots cast at the Stato election of 1890 to the number of 8,000, the In validation of which would Immediately let In all the Democratic oandldatss for Statu offices.

THE RAILROAD TIE OF THE FUTURE Its Advantages Explained It Pro- vonts AccldentB and Ensures Comfort and Safety to Travelors. Railroad managers are not as apathetic in regard to improvements as eoino would have us believo, and tho thorough test of Steel ties, begun in October, 1889, by Mr B Thomas, Preiidcnt of'tho Chicago & Wottern Indiana Railroad, undor the, personal supervision of his General Head master, Mr. Jno, W. Clarke, followed tin year by President McLeod and General SunerinUndent Swolsard, of tho Pbila- dnlplla & Heading, and by Vice President Norton and Chief Engineer Ford, of the Long Island, upon the irrespective roads, shows that there aro railroad managers in tho country who are progressive enough to seek an improvement upon tho antiquatt d and unsafe wooden ties with spike fasten ings. Steel tics are largely used in Europe and havo been experimented upon to some oxtent in this country, but the Europoan types bad so many disadvantages caused by the rails being brought into direct contact with the motal of tho ties, causing great noise and vibration, that until tho Standard Stool Tie, whoso use -was begun by the rail roads abovo mentioned, it may bo said that no real progross had been mado horu towards supplanting tho wooden tie. Tho chiol qualities of this tie aro that it prevents tho rails from spreading and up setting: reduces tho chances of accident from tho breaking of a rail to a minimum ; admits of tho highest possible speodiat tho lowest cost Its great smoothness and per feet alignment reducing resistance; its cost of laying Is less; cost of maintenance is wonderfully reduced ; and if it is generally adopted, railroad travel will have attained almost to tho point ef perfection, so far as safety Is concerned. A recent test mado on a portion of the Long Island Railroad showod a surprising ease and smoothness of motion and the chango from the ordinary roadbod with wooden tie to tho part laid with this steel tie was compared like the transition from a hard pavement to a fine Brussels carpet. Noise is almost annihilated and oscillation done away with ; in fact, it will bring rail roud travel to such an agreeable condition that it will bo much safor than staying at home and far pleasanter, and the mortality tables of the insuranco companies which now servo underwriters as a guide in taking risks will soon btivo to undergo an import ant revision. AVo raako tho following extract from Engineering News of Oct. 17, giving a de tailed report on the track laid two years ago on the Chicago & Westorn Indiana Railroad, which was tho first section of Standard Steel Ties oyer laid: "Steel ties, mado by the Standard Metal Tie and Con struction Co., of New York, wero placed in tho track of the Chicago & Western In diana Railway in October, 1889. Mr. John W. Clarko, Roadmaster, who placod tbem In the track, now makes a report upon them, of which the following is an abstract: He finds that tho total oxpenso on 1 000 lineal feet of track laid with tho Standard stool UJ, during nineteen months, was $15.60. Tho greatest part of this was ex pended In the first surfacing up .n soft billast to bring tho steel ties to the same olovation as tho wooden ties along. side. During the same nineteen months, tho cost of labor alone on the 1,000 feet of track alongside laid with wooden ties was $210.25. This was equal to a saving in la bor alone sufficient to purchase Co now steel ties. The track was exposed to a very heavy traffic, but Mr. Clarke says that the part laid with tbo Standard tie was 'not only safe, smooth and pleasant to ride upon, but the lies were a money-saving de' vice, and should commend themselves to railroad men from that standpoint.' He adds that by reason of the rail being held rigidly upright, tho life of the rail was in1 creased a good many per cent. He also ob' served that there was less oscillation and vibration in the engines and cars passing over them, especially In heayily loaded cars of yiolding material like grain. Ho believes that rolling stock would also have a longor Ilfo for these reasons. Tho many advantages of this tie deyel oped by the above experience, will, to tho practical and economical railroad'manager struggling to tnako dividends for his stock holders, bo overshadowed by tho romarka' hie saving in the labor account. Taking tho figures of this report as a basis wo find tho labor expense- per milo of steel tlos to be at the rate of (161,69 per year and that J of the wooden ties for labor alono to bo I $701,12, saying nothing of the cost of now ii ' wooden tics laid each year to replace lb decayed ana worn out ones, xniseingii labor Horn shows a saving of $549.63 per milo por year in favor of tho Standard Steel Tios. On 1,000 miles of track subjected to tho same heavy trafllo conditions as the Chicago & Western Indiana tho saving In labor would airount to $650,000 per year which would ben verv respectable addition to a dividend upon such a road, and by bosom ing a permanent addition to the road's resources would largoly Increase tho market prico of the stock. In fact, it would bo a pretty saf financial operation, if such a thing could be done, to buy up tho stock of a road now struggling hard to pay -I per cent, per annum, put Standard Ties on it which would advance its dividends to C por conti and sell out at the prico its stock ctuld then bo easily marketed at. Whon woremombor how railroads laid with iron rails could not earn their Interes' and wore re bonded to lay steel rai s, aftir- warJs becoming dividend payors from the decrease in their expense account, wo pre dict that a similar revolution will take place when railroad managers realize what a saving of 78.4 per cent, in labor account means. Tho tie is so simple. It is so made that tho rail Is held down by clamps ol groat power upon a crcosoted bl ck ol wood, placed with its grain running vor tically, and thus has a cushion which take! up the vibration and makes it smooth and noi.-eless to ride over. Tho rail not coming in contact with the sides of tho tie, there, is an onliro absenco of tho metallic vibration so objectionable in all other types of metal ties. Tho open channol Is filled with ballast and tho centre Is cut out and Hinges tu nod up to i rovent any cbanco of lateral slip ping on curves. Such accidents as occurred on the Balti more & Ohio Railroad a week or to ago from snroa&ing of tho rails and ono of u Imilar .haracter on tho Missouri Pacific, would bo impossible with tho Standard Tie. Tho officers of tho Standard Metal Tie and Construclion Company deserve groat credit for the persistent way in which thoy havo kept their tio constantly before the railroad world; and now that they have proved by figures, after a long and excep tionally severe test, that its economy im even groater than they claimed, they de serve to do a largo and romunorativo bus! ncss. The enormous profits mado by tho West inghouse Brako Company ,bid fair to be equalled, if not surpassed, By this enter prise, as the field js a large one, and pro- grestivoand economical railroad managers cannot afford to stick to an imperfect and unsafe track when a perfect and safo one is tbo cheapor of tho two.

In spiking of tho electric railway and voicing a sentiment In favor of a "T" rail n pref. rt-nee to a flat rail, tho Ashland 'elegram says : Ono of the most uncertain things In tho world is the route of a proposed railroad. Many towns who were absolutely suro thoy would get a road havo boen disap pointed. Tremout is a fair example. Sho was sure the L' high Valley road would build to them and not stop at Blackwood ard In consiqucnco real estato valuo took a ump to dizzy heights only to fall again wh' n tho railroad stoppod at Blackwood breaker within two miles of her. It is ptssiblo Ashland, like Tromont, will be disappointed. Flirting with Capital is a ticklish businoss, and ono of tho things capital always avoids is an act that will unpopularizj their investment, or an act that may lead to litigation. If tho road is not built to Ashland wo will havo only our selves to blanio becauso tho company only asks of us tbo same reasonablo conditions that havo been accepted by our sistor towns. Tho people want tho road." Thoro wore throo robborios in Ashland Sunday and thoro is no cluo to tho per petrators.
