A Fire Insurance Suit.

After the Chicago fire several of the Hart
ford fire insurance companies were compelled
10 go into insolvency. Among them was the
Putnam company, whose settlement with the
Chicago creditors was by a composition Of
twenty-five cents on the dollar. This was sup
posed to exhaust all the available assets; but
recently 1t has been ascertained by the Chicago
losers that an unexpended balance of about
one hundred thousand dollars remains to the
credit of the company officers, and twenty of
the losing policy holders by the Chicago fire
have brought suit in equity against the Off
GERS and managers of the company, for diyi-
sion of this surplus fund in further settlement
of their original claims. Wrlts of attachment
have been served and the case will come before
the Superior Court for Hartford county at the
September term.

ADJUSTMENTS.
National Thsatre-Hayerly's Miu,trely,

This popular troupe was greeted on their
second appearance by large and appreciative
audience, who we've kept in roar of laughter
from rising of the curtain until the last act.
The old favorites, Barlow and Wilson, seem
to improve on each visit to our city. Their
witticisms are fresh, and rendered with vim
which assures us that they study hard to
please their audience, and On last night they
seemed to boil over with funny sayings. Prim-
rose and West are most artistic song and
dance artists, and their ,lOS dancing is most
wonderful. The SINGING of the California
quartette was delightful. Edwin French, the
splendid banjoist, came in for large share of
the honors. Milt Barlow, as the doctor in the
act of "No Pay, No Cure, was immense.
The entire entertainment is first class in every
respect, and we'll deserves the patronage Of
our citizens who wish an evening of rare en-
ioyment.
