The Attached Rolling Sfeck Company
 Bridgeport Confidence in the Con
 cern.
 Very little is yet ascertained relative to the Housatonic Rolling Stock company, further than that it's stock which was selling at par last year is very much depreciated in value in the estimation of buyers, and that the president, Mr Hurd, maintains that the stock holders are unnecessarily alarmed. Business is proceeding as usual at the offices of the company. Those who have faith in the con- cern assert that the dividend which was due April 15 will be paid; that the money IS ready and will be paid ss soon as collected from the different companies and that it's non-collection is no fault of the rolling stock management. The January dividend was 15 or 20 days behind. A Bridgeport bank president said yesterday that he owned stock in the company and had full faith that he should not lose dollar by it. bank director expressed confidence that an investigation would show that there were no Irregularities in the company's af- fairs, Another gentleman endorsed Mir. Hurd and said: ''He is doing great and pay ing business. The elevator here IS put one and the smallest of number of projects in various parts of the country, operated aud controlled by him. have good reason to believe that even with this attachment ($300, oOO) hanging over him, he could within thirty days raise $1O0, 900.
 The company was organized in 1881 under the, laws of Michigan by Mir. Hurd and Fred H. Miles, of Bridgeport, and the Hon. William H. Barnum, of Lime Rock, with capital stock of $500 .OoO and the privilege of increasing the number of cars and issuing stock for the same for their individual bene- fit. Barnum took ] 1000 shares, Miles 20 and Kurd 3, 3,98O. It is alleged that Hurd and Miles increased the stock to $1, ,O00. 900, and the plaintiffs complain that they have fre- quently refused to disclose what has been done with the funds.
 MT, Hurd presides at the office of the com pany as usual, and says everything is all right with the companY.-

The opera will be repeated this afternoon and evening.
