order to make the accounts agree with their stock and bond issue or as they stated 1t to make the accounts on the general balance sheet, balance each other. No other reason was given for this increase in the construc- tion account. The report concludes as fol- lows:
 CONDEMNATION UNQUALIFIED. Your committee can but express decidedly their condemnation of the manner in which the accounts of the Housatonic Railroad company have been written up. As to the issues of stocks and bonds they have deemed it their duty to report fully the facts regard. ing the same rather than their conclusions or law. Many of these bonds have passed into the hands of bona fde purchasers. The questions involved are legal in their charac- ter rather than legislative and will undouot- edly ultimately be decided in our courts.

HoUSATONTC MANAGERS,

The Majority Report of the Railroad Committee on she Stock and Bond Increase Ofthe HousatOnio Railroad The Finding of Facts-Eaeneral Leg. 1slative Business.
 HARTFORD, April 23. Especial Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND
 CoURIER.l
 To-day the majority of the railroad com rnittee were heard from. The report will be printed for to-morrow's journal. It con- demns in strong terms the methods of the present Housatonic management, but states that it was question for the courts to de- eide, and assumes that the legislature desired the committee to find the facts in the case rather than give it's conclusions of law.
 The majority of the committee, Senator Graham, Wallace K. Bacon, 0. W. Beards- ley, R. 0. Amber and George Merriman, therefore submit their report as finding of facts After the conventional introductory formalities the report, which will be very in- teresting reading to persons interested in se- curities of the Housatonic, as well as the general railroad struggle, continues substan- tial1y as follows:

Why the Bear Got Mad.

Said Mr.. Southmayd: when a man
goes out after them he wants to be sure
that his ammunition is all right. Three
weeks ago 1 was out cunning for birds
and happened to run across big black
bear. He was about ten yards away,
standing on log and looking at me in
the most impairment manner.
81 always carry couple of buckshot
cartridges in my left coat pocket for
such occasions. Breaking open my gun,
| extracted the cartridges of small shot,
| kept my eye on the bear and inser-
ted two shells from my left pocket.
Then confidently blazed away at
his head. He didn It tumble over as he
ought to have done. but snarled wick
eddy and made break for me. Without
retreating a step / let him hare the
other barrel, and that didn't stop him
Wol til cent
about that time 1 began to suspect
that there was some hitch in my combi-
nation and when he knocked the gun
out of my hands l inferred that 1t was
time for me to get away. You ought
have won the race if it hadn't been for
big split bowlder in the track. The
split was just wide enough for me to
get through, and went through there
lively. He reached out and got a piece
of my shirt, but he stuck fast in the
cliff long enough for me to get hun
dred yards the start and then Twas
safe.
when l got home found two buck
shot cartridges safe and snug in my
side pocket. 1 must have dropped two
other shells in with them absent mind
eddy, and it was just my luck to grab
the lightloads hen wanted big shot.
had peppered that old bear in the
face with quail shot and 1 don't blame
him for getting mad. l was mad my
self when found it out.-San Fran DISCO

A HonRIBLE MURDER IN ONO.
A Man Killed I'm Hts Buggy and Then
Dragncd ana Crushed,

George :. Eggerson, ofSpringfeld, went
TO Urbana, Ohio, on Tuesday afternoon to
attend the funeral Of a relative, driving TO
that place, ten miles distant, In n buggy.
He len Urbana in the evening, and when
next seen was dead.
About nine o'clock William Wilson, q
farmer, had his attention attracted by a
horse and buggy, because he thought the
robe was dragging In the mud. He called
out but received no reply, and going nearer
was horror stricken TO find that the sup
posed robe was frightfully mangled man,
whom he recognized as Eggerson.
Over the front axle, betwoen the shaft
and the right wheel, rested the right arm
and shoulder. Beneath the axle, face
downward, was tho head. His body
dragged along the ground, tho feet rub
bling against one Of the hind wheels. Tho
body was wedged In so tightly between
the shaft and the wheel that Il was with
difficulty extricatcd. The spokcs of the
front wheel, against which the body rested,
weie entirely cleaned of paint. His limbs
were frightfully bruised from striking
the ground and two large gashes were cut
In his back. The presence of these two
wounds cannot be accounted for and indi-
cate foul play. IIc had no money of any
amount on his person and could hardly
have been the victim of persons desiring
mere plunder. Evidences are to the effect
that some enemy, with whom he had trou-
BILE, is responsible for his death.

though trying to hide his face. He seemed
70 be In great hurry and was walking
very fast. Shortly after this Officer Heiss
saw the same man at the end of West
Orange street going towards tho Marietta

theory that the child was born on railroad
train be right the mysterious stranger may
have had something to do with disposing
OF the child.
