The nTerchants, Bank Case.

In the Merchants' bank case there are no new developments. The bank authorities are certain that the surplus will not be wiped out as they expect to recover some- thing on the paper that went through illsgit- imately. Matters are proceeding at the bank as usual. Mir. David A. Alden, the bank examiners assistant, is there assisting in the regular work of the bank simply in order to help out. He is spoken of as a very compe- tent man in the work. Governor Bigelow is one of ex-Cashier Bradley's bondsmen. The bond is $20, 900, and the other bondsmen are W. J. Atwater and W. A. Beckley, the lum- Der merchant. Charles W. Palmer's bond is for $5, ,OOO, and Mir. Morse of Cheshire, his father-in-law, is one of his bondsmen. The savings banks in this city held considerable stock in the disabled bank. The New Haven Savings bank and the Connecticut Savings bank each hold large blocks of stock and the National Savings bank also held quite a block. These three banks probably own one-sixth of the stock of the Merchants bank. The directors of the savings banks
 are not at all worried about their stock. In their opinion the stock will not be impaired in the slightest; undou btedly some of the surplus will be saved. When the stock. holders hold their meeting the savings banks will be represented.

Attwster Barnes, to restrain them from spending any money be- longing to the town in fighting consolidation. The case will come up in the Superior court in June. One of the members said that it was wonder some one did not enjoin Messrs. Esterbrook and Barnes from being too nasty in the matter.

Yale Defeated by staten Island.

Several hundred people witnessed rather peculiar game at the Field yesterday after noon. Though Yale led in batting and field ing, Staten Island led by lucky punching of hits, as for instance Moore in the fourth inn ing making home run off Dalzell with three men on bases. Had Bates pitched for Har- yard this year he probably would not have proved all to them that was expected, as he was hit quite freely, and Poole to everyone's surprise made home run in the third and 8 three- base hit in the ninth. The game ended with Staten Island 13, Yale 12. The experi- ment of putting Dalzell in the box for the first four innings proved costly and the loss of the game.
 The score is as follows:

 Saturday, before Delshanty: Philadelphias second baseman, was injured, Bastlan, their old second bsseman, was released to the Chicago club. Such is base ball luck. Umpire Coreoran should be given 8 per manent pesition ag one of the regular umpires of the Atlantic association. He was one of the greatest pitchers in the profession before his arm weakened. Last summer he retired from mplayine.-Wilkesbarre Record. Pitcher Con Murphy of the Syracuse Star base ball club, which leads in the Interna- tional league contest, was so chagrlned yes- terday because the Buffalo nine, which is seventh in the race, defeated the Stars, that he went on big spree after the game. Buff falo's pitcher, Tanning, had secured three hits on Murphy's delivery and Tanning had kept the bali away from Pitcher Murphy when he was at bat. Murphy became abusive by midnight and acted very disgracefully in the Genessee lobby. Manager Chapman re- monstrated with him, when Murphy struck him in the face Chapman retaliated and 8 red-hot exchange of blows followed, Chapman getting the best of the fight. He fined Mur- phy $50 for getting drunk.

VERY FINE CONCERT.

The Parsons Quartette Assisted by Other Local Celebrities, Give a High ly Successful Entertainment as she Church Ofthe Messiah.
 The concert st the Church of the Messiah last evening by the Parsons quartette, assisted by local talent, was one of the most success during the season.
 The church was crowded by an audience that thoroughly appreciated the endesvors of the performers. The Parsons quartette never sang in better form, and were obliged to re- spond to several enthusiastic eneores.
 The assisting talent was excellent in every particular, and although some of them were young artists they acquitted themselves in an admirable manner. The programme opened with selection entitled Moonlight" by the Parsons quartette, and in response to an en- core the quartette rendered "Hello" in 8 charming manner. The second selection was a recitation by Miss Edith Peckham of this city. This young lady proved herself to be a very gifted and accomplished elocution- mirable, and she was obliged to render another selection in response to an encore. Miss Tillou is an adept with the piano, and will undoubtedly soon make mark in the local musical world.
 Mrs. Blinn was in unusually good voice and "Never Again" was magnifcently rendered by her. It seems ss though Mrs. Blinn gained every day in strength and clearness of voice, and her efforts were thoroughly appre- cisted by the audience last evening, as was evinced by the vociferous applause which greeted her selection. She was compelled to respond with Daddy" which was also en- Enthusiastically received. The reading by Mrs. Allen was well received. Her manner and gestures were perfect and her mode of ali thor0noh1v r1aaafno sEMu Little Woman" by MT. T. J. Adams was un- usually good and this gentleman may rest assured that his work was thoroughly appre- ciated. His response to an encore was ad mirable.
 The duo of Miss Mansfield and Miss Wilson was excellent. The encore which followed was If anything superior to the first selection. An extra selection was rendered. It was given by a mixed quartette consisting of Miss Wilson, Miss Mansfield, MT. Adams and Mir. Lsngdale. "Dear. .Hesrt," by Miss Fechter, scored hit. It was magnifcently rendered, and was considered by many to be far superior to any effort heretofore made by Miss Fechter. She responded to an encore with waltz song. The evenings entertain ment was concluded by 8 selection by the quartette entitled "The Owl and the Pussy Cat" The following is the entire pro- gramme:
