SUSPICION OF FRAND.
Treasurer of Car Company Arrested on
Suspected Swindle.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May II.
Mavor D. n. Morgan and some twenty
other citizens attached ths property of John
Hurd of this city. today, for S250,000. Hurd
is treasurer of the rolling stock and the car
company. and has sold thousands of dollars
worth of the stock in this vicinity. The
April dividend has been stopped, and these
holders of stock allege that some swindle is
connived at.
Much excitement was created here today
when it became known that the property of
John Hurd had been attached to the amount
of $500, 900 and accounting demanded in the
interest of the stockholders of the Housatonic
Rolling Stock Co. The company was org
anized in 1881 by John Hurd and Fred H.
Miles of this city and Hon. VIM. H. Barnum
of Line Rock. The capital stock was $780,
600. 1t was provided that said parties might
increase the number of cars and issue stock
for the same for their indiv idual benefit
After the formation of the scheme they
caused to be provided a greater number of
certificates than the articles of the association
called for. II is alleged that Hurd and Miles
have increased the stock to 81, ,000, 600. The
plaintiffs desire to know what has become of
these funds.

SPAIN DISSATISFIED
With the Commercial Arrangement With
the United States.

New YORK, May II.
A letter from Havana, under date of May
8, says the accounts from Spain are to the
effect that dealers and exporters of -four in
that country are not satisfied with the COM
mercial arrangement between Spain and the
United States as far as it affects that article
in trade between Cuba and the United States.
A committee of -four merchants waited upon

ported from Spain in proportion to the reduc-
tion which the duties on -four from the
United States will experience.
