Opera llouao. “lo-night.

To-uiglit John C. Stewart's famous
comedy, "The Fat Men‘s Club" Will be
presented at the Opera House. “The
Fat Men‘s Club“ is an uproarious farce-
conieily with the scene laid in Ballston

family and all the pupils of his conserva-

nish the fun of the piece. Himself and
a brother, equally stout, are ambitious to
join a Fat Man’s Club. The “course of
sprouts" they go through is sufficient to
unnI-rvs them, and to cure them of their
desire to join. The opera project comes
to nothing, and the tired out party is
glad to get back to Baliston.

Opera llouu. Friday Night.

The Montague-Turner Grand Opera
company have been secured by manager
Quintard for a two night's engagement
in the Optra House—Friday and Satur-
day nights. On Friday night they will
present the "Bohemian Girl," and on
Saturday night “Maritana.” The Lock-
port Daily Journal says: We occasion-
ally have II star of merit with an inferior
support. but the singers of last night
were all of rare merit. It is needless for
us to say that the pleasure of the audi-
ence was unbounded and it found free
expression in applause and in encores
that were given so freely that we lost all
trace of their specific relation in our
abandonment of the hour.

 

“ch1; imatéabln."

The Boston Herald says of the "Uncle
'I'oni‘sCabin Co.’ 'that will beat Music
Hall to-morrow evening: [\n' immense
audience witnessed a very fine rendition
of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Peck d: Fume
man‘s Mammoth Company at the Globe
Theatre last night. The introduction of
two Topsys and two Marks in a decided
novelty, and kept the spectators in one
continual roar of laughter. But no
small share of praise was awarded to
Eva's pony, “Prince,"aud the {catholic
donkey, "O‘car," the latter animal being
ridden by Marks, Sr. The scenic eilects
were perfectly magnificent.

A Siieccsnful l’ntertuinnIe—ut.

The South Norwalk Congregational
Y. P. S. C. E. gave a first-class musical
and literary eiiiertainment last evening.
Whether It was owing to the low price of
admission or the cxcelent talent adver~
tised to participate that draw out an
audience of four hundred people we can-
not state, but either reason would have
been sufficient.

ll. L. Ollt'l'al of Bridgeport added ma»

terially to the entertainment by his read-
ings. He did not indulge in the portray-
al of characters as freely as the ordinary
elocutionist, but there was a pleasant
natural feeling in all of his efforts that
was more enjoyed than if he had
thrown himself into contortions to rep-
resent different personages.
Miss Clara L. Rowlee of Brooklyn was
on the programme for two numbers and
she was heartily encored each time.
She appeared with much self possession
and her sweet notes were admired by all.
Miss Imogene Baldwin rang “The (late
of Heaven." Her light, sweet voice
shows careful training. Miss Martha
Knapp, whose“ votce is like the choice
deep notes of a great organ, captured
the audience with a pretty selection.
Miss Knapp‘s appearance at a concert
occasions unusual interest and close at-
tention is given when she arrives to her
number. Horace Hatch sang a tenor
solo in his usual pleasing manner. The
piano solos, by Misses Nellie Disbrow and
Anna Dunning were marvels of accura-
cy and skill. Messrs. W. Ashton and J.
Hopson played a pretty violin duct and
responded to an encore.

The society realized a neat sum from
the entertainment.

Twenty-ninth Annual Ball—of_l'loneor
[look and Ladder Company.
The twenty-ninth annual ball of Pio-

' neer Hook and Ladder Company was

held in the Opera House last night, and
it was the event of the season. Camp-
bell's orchestra furnished music, and
gave a short concert before the ball,
which was listened to with rapt atten-
tion by the spectators. It was nearly
nine when the grand march of about
lilty couples started and executed some
very fine movements. The ladies’ toilets
were very handsome and were in great
variety. Chief Prowitt, of the borough
department, was present, as was also
Chief McGowan and his assistants of the
city department. A fine supper was
served In the truck house. Pioneer Hook
and Ladder Company are to be congrat-
ulated on a very successful hall last
night.

FRAUD ll I'M} MIDI.

'l'hs luprams court Decides that lutclda
Mailers l'olicioa hold.

The tioneml Term of the Supreme
Court now in session in Brooklyn, has
handed down a decision in the case of
Frederick 11. Smith a alas: the Mutual
Bern-fit Insurance C‘any, of New
York, which In of vital internal to all
insurance companies.

The plaintiff was acrcditor of John
Tyler, who committed suicide In the Ma-
liackeino Hotel, to the amount of over
$10,000. In June, 1886, Tyler procured
from the Mutual Benefit Insurance Com.
pany an insurance on his life for that
sum,and Smith was named in the policy
as beneficiary. The policy contained no
clause that death by suicide made it
void. Within a year Tyler insured his
life in thirty-six companies for the ag-
gregate sum of $282,000. lle committed
suicide in November, 1880. Tito evi-
dence produced in a lower court showed
that he obtained the insurance with the
intent of committing suicide, and the
jury found a verdict for the defendant.

The General Term opinion affirms the
judgment. It is written by Presiding
Justice Barnard, who says:

On the day before Tyler's death he
wrote to his mother that all his policies
were In companies that Inado“no con-
ditions as to cause of death, so that my
plans are so laid that if I cannot benefit
or help myself I can in lp those whom I
should help if I could. "

Judge Barnard continues that this was
evidence of fraud upon the defendant,
and that the policy never obtained any
force in his hands.

in the. shape of beautiful valentines. It
may be that some of our readers will re-

extremely happy, as some mischievous
person will expend one cent and send
them one of those pasty little valentines

them so much meaning. Our advice Is
to accept them calmly and don't go into
a rage even if the valentines do strike
some weak point in your life.

:hcrou the Sound Route.
1). S. S. Sammie. of Babylon, in com-
pany with other prominent residents of
this and Huntington town, is agitating
the matter of a ’crosslsland railroad
from the bay to the Sound. It. is under-
stood that several capitalists of New
York have signified their willingness to
take all the stock in such a railroad if a
company is organized, and that Mr. Sam-
mis has guaranteed to give the company
the right of way over his street railroad
from the Babylon depot- to the dock, and
will also furnish addition wharf room if
required. The plan, we believe, is to
build as direct a line as possible between
the villages of Huntington and Babylon,
witfi daily ferry connecting the Island
Wit ‘onnecticut. The New York and
New' England Railroad company pro-
poses to erect large docks and a mum-
moth depot at Wilson‘s Point, Court,
directly opposite and within an hour's
sail of Huntington. It is very probable
that a large town will grow up about
Wilson's Point, and a ’croastland rail-

Mliltury for New lurk.

A reporter of the New York Times an-
nounces that Governor BulkelI-y has de-
cided that the First regiment C. N. (i.
and the First company Governor's Foot
Guards are to represent Connecticut at
the Centennial parade in New York April
30. As a matter of fact the bill to pro-
vide for the state's representation is still
before the legislature and the governor
has taken no action in the matter what-
ever. It is understood that the First rev
giment, in view of their proposed trip to
Montreal this summer, would prefer not
to be ordered to New York. The I" ourth
regiment is more likely to be designated.

Min and the anti“

Mike Colgan was walking up the depot
platform one day, when looking down
between the slats, be perceived on the
collar floors bright, new, shining half-
dcllar. ”Wow,” he said in joyful tones.
“Oi'll hev that." So he waited until the
afternoon, when all was quiet. and then
want down to the cellar. In order to
reach the money he was compelled to
crawl upon all fours. When he got
within a few feet of the shining object
he saw three great, big, black rats. Mike
made some noise, but never a move made
the rats. "Shoo,” said Mike-waving his
hat; but the rats were as immovable us a
Custom House clerk. Mike crawled back
without even getting his breath upon
that silver half-dollar. When he reach-
ed the platform, wondering how he could
get that money, he saw a crowd of men
working on the street. Going over to
them he picked out one, and brought
him [lover to the depot. Mike showed the.
man the silver piece, and laid, “Get that
for me, and you’ll get akcbooner.” "0i
wull, ” said the other. 80 down they

saw the rats and they saw him; and at
once, with much squealing they sociop-
ersd off. Picking up the money, the
man brought it to Mike, and got his
schooner.

tion on the line begun and Mr. Harrison
explained his motive in going into quel-
tioos of finance and interpretation of
charter rights. Mr. Baldwin called at‘
tantion to the nature of the Houutonic's
prayer. Mr. Robinson said the company
was asking for one of the greatest gifts
in the hands of legislators. It is the
duty of the committee to know what
manner of men have charge of the com-
pany's affairs. It is proper to know the
details of the financial operations of the
company. We want to show whether
all of the stockholders are Connecticut
people or whether some of the managers
are not coming to this state for the pur-
pose of railroad speculation. It is of the
greatest interest to know of the good
faith of the enterprise. Mr. Robinson
said he never knew of any objection
being raised to questions before railroad
committees Mat Cm read from the
board of directors the names of Mr.
Barnum, Lieutenant-Governor Merwin
and others and wanted to know whether
any trust might not be imposed in their
hands. The simple question is whether
the restriction of charter he not renmvrd
and whrtln. r it will not be for the public
good to hear the Vtitlrinorr' a prayer
