Features of she BiIl Presented by she
 Consolidated Road Yesterday Before
 tho Legislature.
 HARTFORD, Jan 16.-The bill authorizing the Consolidated road to increase its capital stock was offered in the Senate yesterday by Senator Cleveland. It is very important measure, one of the most important to come before the General Assembly. The bill is for authorization ''to increase its capital stock to such extent as shall be required from time to time either by purchase or payment to take up it's outstanding funded and float ing debt and to make permanent additions and Improvements in the property of the company and of it's leased lines. No such increase of stock for the aforesaid purposes shall be made except upon the payment of one hundred dollars in cash for each share so to be issued"
 The bill further says: "Said company may also increase it's capital stock for the purpose of exchanging the same up to and during the year A. D. 1899 for the shares of the capital stock and for the obligations of any railroad company whose property 1t may at any tune hold by virtue of lease for term as long as fifty years."
 It provides that the exchanges to be legal must be ratified by the chief justice, notice of the same to be given beforehand to the railroad commissioners, in order that the lat ter may take such action as they deem best, the chief justice also being empowered like wise to amend or alter the terms and methods of exchange before the work is consummated. But the amount of new stock to De Issued ID exchange for the stock of said leased lines or by purchase of said stock of said leased lines, as hereinafter provided, shall not exceed the whole amount of capital stock of said lines authorizad hv their charters.
 The call next provides the legal formula | involved in the future transferring of the leased lines to the main line, all notes, bonds ! and debts left standing to be charge upon | the main road; and the capital stock of any | such leased lines so consolidated, to be under l the control of the main road until the entire purchase is accomplished; said stock to be used for all purposes of income, corporate organization, management and franchize, ,and the road being protected in it's requirement l of the leased lines until the work is consum- l mated.
 The new section provides that "the new l capital stock hereby authorized, excepting | that which is used or exchanged for capital l stock or obligations of leased lines, shall be | first offered to the stockholders for subserip- ton in proportion to the number of shares l held at the time of increase, excepting that the directors may arrange for the disposition of fractional shares Such shares of new stock as are not taken by shareholders may l be sold at public auction for the benefit of the company, but no shares shall be sold at less than par."
 The last section provides that this amends ment may be accepted by the board of direc- tors of said New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company.

TWO Persons KlIed-Their Bodies
 Thrown Fifty Feet.
 WEBSTER, Mass, Jan. 16.-As Joseph Moorehouse of this place and his niece, Miss Edith Cooper of Woodstock, Conn.,, were driving this side of the North Village this evening the carriage was struck by the 6:15 train from Worcester on the Boston and AL bany branch Mir. Mooreheuse was killed instantly, his skull being fractured. Miss Cooper received deep cut in the head and lived but short time. The bodies were thrown fifty feet from the scene of the acci- dent and were found in side ditch.
 The train ran back and brought the bodies to the Albany station, from which they were taken to Ayers undertaking rooms. The horse and carriage were unharmed. The en- gineer in approaching the crossing sounded the whistle and rang the bell, but as the north bank hid the train Mir. Moorehouse no doubt thought he could cross the track in safety.

fCasper, the Yodler' was very pleasantly represented at the Hyperion last evening. MT. Charles T. Ellis as "Casper" was as funny as anticipated. and delighted his au- dience with his comic display. The play is not strong in dramatic plot and detail, but affords an excellent opportunity of passing a very enjoyable evening. Casper is the whole play in himself, and the interest of the en- tire presentation centers in charaeterizations of comicalities. The programme will be re. neated this eYeninp.

AWFUL EARTHQUAKE.

Death and Ruin at Costa Rtca-ManY Million of Dollars Worth of Prop- erty Destroyed.
 SAN JOSE DE COSTA RIGA, Jan. 5.-At 4:20 a. a.m December 30 the severest earthquake experienced since 1882 was felt throughout tine republic of Costa Rica. h San Jose both the national capitol and the magnificent ca thedral fronting the public square, which re- quired ten years of labor to erect at an ex- penditure of $100,00O, are in ruins. The presidential palace, City hall, national post office and dozen other public buildings were almost wrecked.
 Advices from surrounding cities report the shock even more severe and bring accounts of loss of both life and property. The latest estimate of the damage throughout the coun- try exceeds 5000, ,0O0.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 16-Late adviees from Costa Rica regarding the earthquake of December 30 last, briefly mentioned in the cable dis patches short time ago, says the shocks were the most severe experienced since 1852.
 The Poas volcano has suddenly become active. It is located twenty-eight miles northwest of this place at an altitude of 8,S95 feet from the sea. It had been dor mant for years, and only couple of weeks before the earthq quake party of explorers after a visit there reported the crater entire- ly filled up. Now 1t has broken out with all it's old fury and in another place half a mile distant from the original mouth. An aver- age of three slight shocks was felt daily for several days after the first. Business during that time was almost entirely suspended and the majority of the people of San Jose camped in the public squares, fearing their houses would fall,

Entertainments.


 Mile Rhea completed her engagement here yesterday presenting "Much Ado About Nothing" in the afternoon, and her latest play, "A Dangerous Game" in the evening. Both performances received large audiences that were more than usually generous with their applause. The latter play is by Ssrdou, the author of "Fedors," and the character of Helene" is certainly the best suited to Mile Rhea of any role she has yet attempted. The author has created a bright, witty, charming French demoiselle and it is needless to add that it receives from Mile Rhea an iu- depreciation that could not fail to satisfy even the veteran playwright himself. The play is strong one and is at times serious enough to make the comedy element all the more acceptable. In the "Baron de Iron. ville'' MT. Harris has 8 frst-rate part which he has evidently done his very best to make perfect. He played it in very dignifed and effective manner and won we'll merited applause at the close of the third act Miss Ida Waterman was also excellent as the Baroness de Trow- vile" and MT. w. R. Owen played "Henri Leverdier" very acceptably. The large au- diences that have attended the Rhea perfor- mancss this week in spite of the other at fractions at the Hyperion Theater prove that she is still great favorite with our theater- goers New Haven was one of the very first cities in which she appeared, and it was here that she was first recognized as an artist of great merit. Since that time she has but confirmed the favorable impression she then made, and it will be hard indeed for her to wear out her welcome
