These meetings are quite interesting and are well attended The secretary reported that about 150 shares had been sold since the annual meeting March 5. Ths East Hartford Fire-Importnnt De-
 veIoa oaments Probable.
 The burning of the dwelling house occu- pied by the two Judson sisters in East Hart ford early last Friday morning caused at first suspicion that double murder had been committed and that the destruction of the house by fire was designed to conceal the crime, but there were no positive clues to establish the fact. The authorities, howev- CT, have come in possession of evidence which at least warrants close investigation of the affair, and it is probable that within 2 few days there will be important develop ments regarding it. Henry Judson, a brother of the two ladies who perished in the fire, has arrived from Chicago and is actively interest ing himself in the matter.
 Evidence was taken yesterday bsfore the coroner's inquest the most important of which, perhaps was that of the two local physicians, Drs. Newton and Markham, who examined the remains yesterday morning.
 
 around the neck of one of the bodies (proba- ply Elizabeth) several times, and also under the right arm. The cloth was saturated with blood, and, in their opinion, was used to ef- feet strangulation. There was also evidence of 8 severe confusion and extravasation of blood on the right side of the head. The other body was so badly burned that no evi- idence of foul play was to be found. John Jenks, the young man who discovered the fire, Geo. W. Smart, who broke in the front windows and the other witnesses testified to the habits of the two sisters and the incidents of the fire. No traces were seen of the Misses Judson till their burned bodies were found the following morning. A TE11-rA1E PIECE OF PAPER. Between 10 and Il o'clock on the night of the fire, Henry Anderson, who lived near the Judson house, passed 8 tall, slim man wearing slouched hat, long ulster and rub ber boots. He was walking in the road while Anderson was on the walk, and it was impossible to judge whether he was white or black Some fifty feet further along MT. Anderson took the road, and picked up small piece of white paper and put it in his pocket. After the fire he examined it. It was a receipt for years subscription to l newspaper and read as follows
