The Alden Eafale.

in the bar ar1ibrary yesterday before Messrs. Bennett and Bush, commissioners on the in solvent estate of the late Dexter Alden, the final arguments were made by John w. Al ling, attorney for Felix Chillingworth, re- ce;ver of the Automatic Fire Extinguisher company, and by Clark, Swan & Rogers and w. K. Townsend, attorneys for the trustee of the Alden estate. The last claim argued was that of Mrs. Charles K. Billings for six thousand dollars for breach of contract, as alleged, on the part of her father, the late Dexter Alden, who, as claimed, gave her a warranty deed of a house end lot when there was mortgage on the same for the amount named. Professor Townsend, acting for the trustee of the Alden estate, rendered Mrs. Billings certified check for $6,0 ,000 and an amended note and security for which it was given. This was refused by her attorneys on her behalf, and the final arguments were then made by them and by Professor Townsend for the Alden estate.

operators Scared Into Unloading and A Selling Movement Knsues-PrIces Run a Variable Course and Close at Irregular Changes.
 New York. Jan 25. 1886. The continued receipts of reports from the West of stormy weather and the interruption of railroad traffic on several of the western roads and quent loss of earnings, together with the Baltimore & Ohio-Pennsylvania fight and troubles in the coal pool, operated adversely against the market this morning. The bears took advantage of the situa- tion to raid several of the leading stocks and fright ened many of the more timid holders into unload. ing The selling was brisk at times, some large blocks of stock coming on the market. The selling was mainly of St. Paul, Lackawanna, Western Un- 1on Lake Shore, Northwestern, Union Pacific, North ern Pacific preferred, New York Central and Louis vile and Nashville. Both Lackawanna and Louis vile wore we'll supported and did not decline with the rest of the market, both of them showing frac t1ona advances The rest of the list declined with out interruption from the opening up to 11sO, at which hour about the lowest figures of the morning were current. The decline ranged from 4 to 214 per cent. This was partly recovered by midday on buying induced by the announcement of @ reduc- tion in the rate .of exchange. The sales to noon amounted to 217, 900 shares. The market grew in strength after midday and the decline of the ing was fully recovered in most cases before the close. while in some instances the final figures showed a sharp advance Louisville & Nashville and Lackawanna were the strongest the list and they closed per cent. above Saturdays prices The market closed. however, with prices irreguarly changed. soma of the list being higher and others lower than Saturday. The specialties were ir- regular and the changes unimportant. Sales 479, 905 shares.

poktnr Fun at the shepaug.

A correspondent of the Litchtield Enqulr- CT says that the train hands qf the Shepaug road have 75O muskrat and mink traps set along the banks of the Shepaug river. When a.train goes down in the afternoon it makes good time because the hands can bait the traps and skin the animals by daylight, but when it returns in the dead of night and they are compelled to work by the ftful glare of kerosene lantern it is belated correspondingly to the ratio of their luck.

New Laurels for New Haven Girls

The Misses Schneeloch of this city, whose vocal efforts at Steinway Hall, New York, called forth such favorable criticisms from the metropolitan dailies recently, have again been the recipients of marked attention both from preas and public. Their last appearance was as soloists at the Valencia Boat club concert at Jersey City. The Evening Journal of that city speaks of them i:i the following laudable manner:
 The Schneeloch sisters made their debut il this city and received a perfect ovation wher their talent as vocalists became apparent They were attired in low neck and sleeveless dresses, and their unaffected manner, win ming ways and sweet voices won for the n merited applause.
 Both of the young ladies are at presen pursuing a course of study under Prof. Maj Maretzek, of New York.
