Missing Again.
The postal clerks between New gYork
aid Springfield are having gay times
with our daily Washington letter. Yes-
terday it was carried east and returned
after we had gone to press. 'l‘O-day it
is again missing and is probably enj oy-
ing another trip to the east. 1
One peculiar feature of this neglect on
the part of the clerks is that not a mark
is stamped on the envelope to show that
it has been detained.
Wise clerks.
No State Aid for City Streets.
A few days sire-a Selectman Selleck

money from the State in the improve-
ment of such road, in which the Com-
missioners express (1 the opinion that
such condition Wouzii make no differ-
ence. He received a letter yesterday,
however, from them in which they ex-
plicitly say that. no road improvements
will receive aid from the State appro-
priation unless altogether controlled
by the town in which it is located.

It Mires on West Avenue This Mbrning.
West avenue, at the Corner of Cedar
street, was the scene of an “accident at
an early hour this morning that strange?
ly enough from its nature did not re-
sult seriously. William Daugherty
in the employ of Liveryman Dann was
driving a coach to South Norwalk. In
the coach were William Riley and a

the point mentioned above the forward
wheels of the coach sank into the
s‘unmni STOP or A COACH.
ground and the horses were brought to-
a standstill with a suddenness that
hurled Dougherty from the box sprawl-
ing on the street.
The body of the coach was thrown
forward and on.to the horse's heels by
the force of the concussion and partial-
ly toppled. So deeply were the forward
wheels of the coach mired in the ground
the horses could not have run even if
they wanted to.
Mr. Riley managed to get out of the
coach and then assisted Miss Shields
out, both having escaped injury. The
driver was able to pick himself up and
beyond a severe shaking up he also
escaped harm.
Word was telephoned to the Norwalk
police who advised night-watchman
“Philly” Petrie of the situation. Men in
the employ of Mr. Dann attempted to get
the coach, which was a complete wreck,
out of the hole, but were unable to do
so. The horses, however, were extri-
cated and driven back to the stable
where it was found that they too had
escaped injury.
The break was close to the Street
Railway tracks and Superintendent
Kyle was notified, and at about 3:30
o’clock had a gang of men and the work
car at the scene. The “break-in” was
about 10x20 feet, and 8 feet deep, being
directly over and into the sewer cross-
ing over West avenue at that point.
The tracks were “jacked up” with
railroad ties and no delay was caused
to the running of the cars today. But
a short time previous to the accident
one of the company’s cars had safely
passed over the tracks.
The sinking in of the ground was no
doubt the result of the overflow of the
old Goslin brook ditch water which
had in the afternoon flooded the entire
street at that point with a foot of water,
and had presumably undermined the
street at the same time.

LEAP YEAR DANCE.
Ladies Entertain Their Gentlemen Friends
at the Opera House.
Last night was without exception one
of the most disagreeable of the year
1896, and it is doubtful if the year of
1895 furnished a more unpleasant one.
The wind blew at a hurricane speed
and the rain descended, as it had done
all day, in torrents. .
But these conditions did not prevent
perhaps 150 ladies and gentlemen from
replying in person to the imitation
they had received from the Ladies Leap
Year club to attend a sociable to be
given under the patronage of Mrs. W.
J. Tracey, Mrs. B. C. Feeney, Mrs.
Edward Kelly, Mrs. J. H. Magnet,
Mrs. Edward Barrett and Mrs. W. LI.
Hyland.
All Was happiness in the hall and the
rich and handsome costumes worn by
the ladies together with the dazzling
rays of incandescent lamps, the joyous
faces of those present and the sweet
strains of mustc from the Philharmonic
orchestra made the scene one of sur«
passing brilliance.
About to 5couple took part" in the grand
march which was splendidly executed,
and this number was augmented to 150
couple when the dancing commenced,
and for which Harry Richmond acted
as prompter.
Conspicuously hung on the walls in
different parts of the hall were the fol-
lowing “mottoes:” “A ladylike dee-
portment is expected of the gentlemen. ”
“Gentlemen should act with becoming
modesty and not invite the ladies to
dance.” "Kind attention should be
paid to the wall-flowers.” “A season
for good — — -—.” .“Any gentleman
unladylike (" 12-31 to ask a lady to
dance will be ll... .1 25d; second offense,
500.” “Ladies should help the gentle-
men on with their opera coats.”
"Leap Year.—Young men be careful
hbw you mix with ladies now, It’s ’96.”
There were fourteen numbers on the
dance favors each dedicated to some
society or club. It was 2 O’clock before
the last dance a Lanciers, was finished
and all went home surfeited with the
pleasure it had been their privilege to
ei joy at the‘hands of the Ladies Leap
Year club. ‘

The fact that the total of bona fidc bids
reached an aggregate of over $568, 000 ,OQC
was a great surprise to Wall street and
even to the largest bidders for the loan,
who thought that not even $200,000,000
would be bid for. Then, again, it is evi-
dent from the bidding that the loan will
be allotted, at an average, only a shade-1m
der 111, and Wall street conjecture during
the past few days fixed the average at
about 109/.

in the appearance of the chief members of
the dissolved syndicate as collective bid-
ders for $100,000,000 at 110.6877 or for the
Whole issue at the highest figures'of any
of the largest bids.
The bid from this quarter was indeed
one of the great and most pleasant sur-
prises that Wall street had. It was be-
lieved that from 40 to 60 per cent of the
issue would be allotted to the Morgan
group, which would insure a. large amount
of new gold to the treasury. for, While the

Morgan's Principals.
Mr. Morgan’s bid of $100,000,000 was
for the firms of J. P. Morgan & 00., Her-
vey Fisk & Sons, the City National bank
and the Deutsche bank of Berlin in four
equal parts. . The fact that since the dis-
solution of the syndicate Mr. John _.

been generally known, and the announce-
ment that the aggregate of the bidding
through his agency would amount to 876,-
000,000 caused the majority of people to
assume that a. large proportion of the
bonds would” be allotted to his combina-
tion. It was also known that his bid
would be made at 110.075, and therefore
all bids below that figure for at least $76,-
000, 000 of the bonds would be shut out.
As stated, the street did not suspect tie
bid that was made by the Morgan group.
which, being made for the whole issue or
any part of it at 110.6877, of course shirt:
out all bids below that figure. The bids
for the bonds in excess of the Morgan fig-
ure for amounts up to $1,000,000 foot.

numbers of small bids made above this

assumed that the Morgan group would re-
ceive from 50 to 60 per cent of the new
bonds.

Comments of the British Papers on the
Success of the Loan.
Lounox, Feb. 7.—-The Westminster Ga-
zette this afternoon says that the action of
President Cleveland in deciding upon a
popular loan was fully justified and can-
not fall to have a favorable influence. not
only in the United States, but abroad.
The St. James Gazette s totes that the
success of the loan is a useful reminder to ,
Englishmen that, in spite of financial dis-
orders and the “’eccentricities of the ad-
ministration” the United States is a very
rich country and has “11 great reserve store
of wealth among its people.”
The St. James Gazette adds: “The suc-
cess is not Wholly hopeful of the prospects
of peacefully solving the Venezuelan ilil .-
culty and is only too likely to add to the
aggressive self confidence which caused
the president ’5 message and the new Olney
doctrine to he hailed with so much enthu-
siasm. We have no desire to be pessimis-
tic, but we searcli'vainly for any indica-
tion in the United States of a disposition
to concede anything. We have the alter—
natives of submitting the whole claim to
arbitration or incurring the hostility of
the United States. It is still a. very un-
satisfactory and dangerous situation.”
