The resolution incorporating the State
Loan and Trust company, of Bridgeport.
struck . sung in the State Senate, yester-
day, in a motion by Senator Ferris,
chairman of the banking committee. to
table it. He said there was ”a little
poison in it." The proposed incorpor-
ntors are T. L. Watson, 1.. N. Vsokeursn
'and Erwin Strickland, of Bridgeport,
and W. J. Albero and John Classbery, of
New York.

To a Bridgeport Farmer representative
Senator Ferris explained that heobjected
to a clause which provides that the capi-
tal stock shall be a legal investment for
trust funds. Under the present laws the
only legal investment for such funds is
in savings banks, and by granting the
Bridgeport company the right asked for,
the way would be opened up for another
such financial disaster as that of the
Middlesex Banking company of a few
years ago, in which many thousands of
dollars of trust funds were swept away.

Senator Ferris further said that he was
assured that the objectionable clean
would heeliminated before the bill was
reported. ids would see that such oiimir
nation was made, and then there will
probably be no further objection.

Tbs Westport ghost was captured last

night by Countable John Gsult. The
officer was in the vicinity. of
Willow Brook cemetery, where

the spectre was frequently seen, when
the figure suddenly appeared in fr‘ont of
him.

He drew a revolver and commanded
the ghost to throw up its hands. The
dark rohed form obeyed, and when taken
into custody the ghost proved to be Mrs
Len Louis, of “Hockneum.”

DARIEN AND NOROI‘ON.

Among the recent arrivals at Fitch's
Home, is Jesse ii. Atherton, of Walling-
ford, who comes from a pttriotic family,
his grandfather having been a soldier in
the Rose utionary War, and his father,
David, having fought in the war of 1812.
He enlisted in New Haven, in Company
B, Fifteenth Connecticut Volunteers.
and was in the service about two years
and six months. He was in the siege of
Suffolk and took part in the Fredericks-
burg engagement. A pleasant surprise
came to him one day when, on account
of broken-down health, be was honor-
ably discharged several months before
the war closed, without having made any
application for such a favor. Mr. Atherr
ton has come to the Home to go! recruit-
ed, if possible. He is now in his seventy-
secoud year, and his wife, to whom he
seems to be devotedly attached, in her
seventy-fifth year. is staying at their
home in Wallingford. Of his eight chilo
dren, only two sons are living. One son
died who was soon to have become a
minister. The aged veteran in an earnest
Christian man, and has written several
beautiful hymns which have appeared in
a church paper of his denomination. Two
of tbese,“The Eden Land" and "Longing
For Home," are especially worthy of
mention. Aged as is the author of these
hymns. he walked down twice yesterday

Ills. II J. Davis, principal of Elmwood
school, is grieved and indignant on ac-
count of an article that appeared in the
I'ress in which it was stated that one of
the students of her school had suffered
great indignities at the hands of some
fellow students. When iniervie ted Miss
Davis said there was not one word of
truth in the entire article. nor dhes she
know of any occurrence of hazing in her
school as the least foundation for such an
inexcusable falsehood. It is true that a
few days ago the little boy spoken of ran
away from school, but he was soon found
rid brought back, and he denies having

eon submitted to any unkind treatment.
He was in his place in church and Sun-
day school, and he did not look as if he
had been tied to a tree with a the built
around him. Reporters may “call it
fun" to write such fabulous stories, “but
grand juries give such pranks another
name."

Francis 8, Fitch has leased his landing
properly for a period of three years, and
possession taken will be taken by the
lessee shortly. The old building,
which has been used for grist and
cider mills, will be torn down and the
lumber used in a dwelling, which Mr.
Fitch proposes to erect.

The hearing on the remonstranoe
against granting a license to Chris. Fli-
singerto sell intoxicnnts in the Webb

the County Commissioners in the town

George W. Loder has plans out for

cause [desire to protect the Connncllcut
road bondholders. It has been the cuav
lore of the road when issuing new stock
to provide that such stock shall be dis-
tribulei pro rats at par value among ex-
isting shareholders. The fact is that the
New Haven road stock is worth much
more than par and if it were sold in the
open market would bring at least a third .
more than when porcelled out according
to the old agreement, if sales were pub-
licly made in the manner I suggest the
value of the outstanding bonds would
secure an increased marketable value
and the bondholders would prolitln oonv
sequence. Ishsll push the bill with all
the energy! can muster."

Vice President Hall's attention was
called to tho bill and It. laid thaths
had not yet examined it, but that it
would receive proper attention before
being disposed of by the committee.

Certain stockholders of the road had
thought it“pooolhle the bill camofrom
some of the large stockholders of the
road who desired a chance to increase
their holdings beyond what is pudbl.
under the long established custom of
themsusgsment of the road. As tho
interview with )lr. Goodwin prom
the managementof the road in not I.-
sponoibie for the bill.
