Sudden Death of Clerk fin the Secre-
 tary of States Office.
 MT. George w. Roberts, for the past three years valued clerk in the office of the Sec retary of State at the Capitol, Hartford, while on his way back to the office yesterday afternoon from his dinner was prostrated with heart disease on the Capitol grounds. He called for help and two Capitol employees went to his aid, assisted him into the build ing and to the Secrstary's office. He was placed on 8 lounge and, in almost unintel- igible tones, murmured that his death was close at hand. Representative Stevens of Monroe, who is physician, was summoned, and applied such restoratives as were at hand, but without avail, and in few mo- ments MT. Roberts was dead.
 He was born in Middletown, and was for ty-four years old. He represented that town in the legislature of 1875, and when ex-Sec- retary of State Northrop was elected he of fered MT.

Important Insurance Decision.

Judge Carpenter, in the United States Cir cult court at Boston Tuesday, rendered an important opinion upon points at issue in an insurance case. The ruling was made in advance of trial of several important cases, the one in point being James E. Crossley vs. Connecticut Fire Insurance company. The question at issue was whether the insured could bring the present action without com plying with certain conditions contained in his policy. The question for the court was whether the agreement is collateral con- tract, or is expressly or by implication con- dition precedent to recovery or to any proof of the amount of the loss. Judge Carpenter rules that it is the former, and states that he should overrule the objection of the de- fendants and permit the evidence of amount of loss to go to the jury. He would also overrule the request of the respondents for an instruction to the jury that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover

The feature of the dealings on the exchange this morning wore Pacific Mail and Jersey Central, both of which were actively traded in and ad- vanced steadily throughout These stocks with St. Paul, Lickawanna, Western Union and Union Pacific absorbed almost the entire speculative in- terest of the morning The buying of Pacific Mail was attributed te announcement to the effect that the president of the company con- ferring with MT. Huntington of the Southern and Central Pacific and other roads interested in the Transcontinental peol, which presumed to be settlement of the subsidy question.

No definite conclusion has been reached, but the conviction prevails widely that something of the kind will be brought about ultimately In view of the heavy tourist travel between New Yolk and Maine sum- mer resorts, to say nothing of business trav- sl generally, the project looks feasible.
