One evening while Duse was dreaml- Iy lmprovlslng, eight. of the patriarchs headed by Father Ileurlcl. stalked In- to the room. They surrounded the boy and all fell on their pious knees In prayer. After a lougwiuded explana- tion to a wruthi’ul Ilod came the solemn “Amen."

A new complication has arisen In the affairs of the Groton and Stoulngton Street Railway Company, but one from which little trouble In anticipated. Wednesday night President Thomas Hamilton, of Hartford, received it th~ egram from the Aetna lndcuity (‘om- pany, which furnished a bond of 325,000 for satisfactory completion of the road, that the company was prepared to go on with the work and complete it as lriglnsily contracted for, and would commence work on the coming Mon‘ day. Yesterday John B. Machine, of the John B. MncAfee Company, arrived in New London again and represented himself as the agent of the Aetna Com- pany, and that he had the contract from that company to finish the work. Iand was prepared to go ahead prompt,- Y The Aetna Company had a clause In its bond, permitting It. to complete the work rather than forfeit the amount of_ the bond If It so chose. After the fail- ure of the MacAfee Company to finish the work on account of financial trou- bles the Acton Company denied all re- sponsibility on the technical ground of Insufficient notice of unsatisfactory, program on the road, The Aetna Com- pany was formally notified that it would be given a certain number of days to finish the contract, and. as it .made no sign of Intention within that time, the trolley company proceeded to seek another contractor. The con- tract hns not been signed, but It has been practically awarded to Michael Sorreto. of Boston. and it is understood Mr. Sorreto has already commenced ss- sembllng his tools and arranging to bring a large force of men to New London at once. The trolley company officials consid- er that they have given the Aetna Company all the time legally required, and are warranted In Ignoring this let— est development, and the company now. proposes to let the contract where It can have a prospect of speedy comple« tion. ' The executive committee of the trol- ley company was In session a good part of Wednesday afternoon, but did not sign the contract finally. other matters oécupylng the time. The committee meets again this afternoon at 2 o’clock, for the purpose of considering bids for furnishing steel rolls and ties for the road. . AMERICAN OFFICERS HONORED.
