 DOCKING MAIN IN CONNECTICUT.
 NoRwALK, Jan. 26.-A cooking main oc- cured in the attic of a well known sporting resort in Saugstuck late last night and was witnessed by forty sporting men from the surrounding towns. The contest was between Southport and Westport birds, and resulted in victory for the latter. Boosters from that place winning four out of the seven bat- ties fought.

 QUARRELED AFTER PRAYING.
 Melvina Howe and Sarah Lovejoy, two converts of the Primitive church, figured conspicuously in the City court in Bridgeport Saturday morning. The two sisters met in the latter's home Friday afternoon for sea- son of prayer. Melvina was slightly affected by the liquor which she had drunk, but the first effect of this condition was only to make her exhortations rather more fervent than usual. She prayed that her sister Sarah might grow in piety, faith and Christian zeal until she became more consistent and use- full member of the church than she was at present. This intimation that she was not already such bright and shining light as she might be, greatly sfronted Sarah, and she interrupted the petitions of her caller by resentful and vigorous disclaimer. Melvina retorted in kind and the two women were soon engaged in war of words. And later the quarrel waxed hot and Sarah put Aelvi- na out of doors. This so incensed Melvina that she threw her comsly form against Sa- rah's door and burst 1t in. Hence the City court case. Judge Beers decided that both women were equally to blame and discharged the prisoners.
 HARTFORD TALK OVER THE RALE MILLION
 DOLLAR DEFALcATIoN.
 Business men recognized that the matter might easily have been covered up by com promise with Moore. Some thought it would have been ''smarter" to do that way and so avoid giving rivals of the Connecticut Mu- tual chance to talk about this affair, for, as all know, Colonel Greene and the directors have pursued their own policy in managing the company, and have taken conservative and independent course that has been attack ed by other companies. But among policy holders the almost universal expression of opinion was favorable to the publication. It strengthened their confidence, showing the company was as ready to report unpleasant facts ss to report pleasant ones.
 Colonel Greene was found yesterday by @ Courant reporter and asked If there were any further facts to be had and he said there were not. The extent of the dedication is known and as announced yesterday will not exceed $50e, ,000, while the property recovered is ex- pected to realize $100, ,000 and so to reduce the amount to $4O0, 1000.
 Joseph A. Moore, the defaulter, had done some business fer other Hartford parties, but SO far as known no trouble exists with their affairs, which were of comparatively insignif- cant amount.-Hartford Courant.
