Entertainments, HYPERION THEATER.

It is safe to say that few attractions this season have been or will be more enjoya- ble than J. M. Hills presentation to-mor- row and Saturday evenings and Saturday matinee of 'Ship Ahoy," the farcial nauti- cal opera, with the same company that won so much glory in Boston. The conserva- tive Boston Herald said: "The record of Ship Ahoy' is entirely unprecedented in the history of Boston amusements, and it is gratifying to know that the sfarcial nauti- cal opera written and composed by ma tive Americans, has proved source of large financial benefit to all who have been associated with its career in this city. It can be stated as an absolutely indisputab1e fact that Ship 'Ahoy' has drawn the biggest houses, got more laughs, called out more demands for repetitions and won more general favor with it's audiences than any attraction ever known at the Park theater under the pres ent regime. Manager Hill has shown @ clever knaek of correctly estimating the demands of Boston audiences and has ca tered to the Park theater patrons of the last twelve weeks with pnfailing success.
 Ship Ahoy' and success will therefore be synonymous terms with the Boston public in the future, and it goes without saying that New England audiences will confirm and endorse Boston's estimate of this lat est addition to the American repertoire of works by native authors and composers. !"

in the famous E. S. Scranton & Go. bank which failed here so disastrously in 1875. He got to the bank with the check just two minutes after it closed its doors and announced it's suspension. One of his friends, a former business partner of his, deposited $4,500 in the same Scranton bank an hour before it failed.
 Another gentleman started for the Bun nell & Scranton bank the day before it closed it's doors with s40O in his hands to deposit it there as fund to draw from when he and his daughter should go to the White mountains this season. He had ar rived at the corner of Orange and Chapel
 streets when he ran against his friend. Mr. Bartlett of the Union Trust Go. This decided him that he might just as well de- posit the money with the Trust company, which pays no interest on balances. He is glad he did so.
 Among the facts which was current talk yesterday afternoon was the fact that MT. F. c. Bushnell, of J. D. Dewen & Co.,, had | $2, 500 of trust funds on deposit with the | firm, belonging to an estate which he is settling up.
 MT. George Wykes, jr., of New York,
 who was business manager of the branch ] banking house which was conducted for 8
 number of years in this city by W. T. Hatch & Co.,, of New York, was in town | yesterday afternoon. He said there was nothing in the report that his firm would re-establish a branch house in this city. The failure was all the talk about town
 last evening in the clubs, stores, streets. saloons and private houses. Groups of prominent men discussing the subject were to be seen on Chapel street at most I any time during the early evening. A prominent banking man suggests quite an idea, which is, if it can be so ar ranged, that the business of the Bunnen 6 Scranton concern be merged under the control of a joint stock company, said
 company to be composed of the creditors of the bank, each, of course, sharing pro | rata in the stock according to the amount
 of each of their respective claims; the business to be then resumed. It is urged that this is good idea, as the legiti- mate business of the house was pay ing one and one well established and altogether too valuable to be allowed to 20 to waste He thinks that properly managed the business would under such an arrangement pan out well for the creditors and pay them certainly dollar fol l dollar.
 1 MT. Scranton was feeling improved last l night and now that the cloud has burst. as he said to friend, be had begun to fee thst burden was partially rolled off from his mind. His great concern was to have l all feel that his firm had not Intentionally
 gone wrong, but that adversity had over
 taken the firm despite all their efforts.
 As to the solicitude of patrons of tht
 bank, who had bought stocks on margin
 the transaction being incomplete when tht
 house went under and who had left money
 on deposit toward keeping their margins
 from being wiped out by adverse fuctua
 tions, prominent lawyer said yesterda.
 that in such cases such deposits must talk
 pot luck with the rest, but whether th
 dealer could get these stocks or not he dit
 not say.

THE ANSANTAwE COMPANY.

The Purchasers of the maltby Prop
 erty at Savin Rock Organize and
 Elect Officers and Directors.
 A meeting of the subscribers to the stock of the company which recently pur- chased the Maltby property at Savin Rock was held at the New Haven house last eve ming and company to be known as "The Ansantawe Company" duly organized. About thirty five of the stockholders were present, representing a majority of the stock, and full set of officers and directors were elected. The officers elected were: President, ex-Governor H.B. Bigelow; vice president, Eli Whitney, jr.; secretary and treasurer, Benjamin R. English; directors, H. B. Bigelow, J. E. Earle, J. w. filling, c. s. Mersick, Eli Whitney, jr., Benjamin R. English, Willis E. Miller, George H. Ford, Frank H. Hooker
 The following committee of three was appointed to draft proper bylaws and re- port at an adjourned meeting to be held at the New Haven house next Wednesday evening: John W.Alling, George A. Butler, George H. Ford.
 The association decided to adopt the name selected owing to the fact that An santawB was the sachem of the Wapowage Indians who occupied the territory from West river to the Housatonic river and from Long Island sound to Derby, and who made the first grant of property to the first settlers in this country in 1889.

s STRANGE .DENoUMENT.

An Unexpected Result of the Board
 of Public Works, Recent Investf-
 gations-The Morning News to Be
 Placed Under S1O.OOO Attaeh-
 ment.
 The recent investigations by the board of public works into the engineering de- partment will bring libel suit to light, if nothing else. To-day Deputy Sheriff Spiegel will place an attachment for SIG, 900 upon the Morning News," the amount of dam ages claimed by w. J. Atwater for certain articles printed in that paper referring to MT. Atwater, and in particular for an edi- torial which appeared in last Fridays is sue. Attorney c. s. Hamilton is MT. At waters lawyer, and yesterday noon turned the papers over to the deputy sheriff, who was too busy to serve them that day and will do so probably some time this morn ing. The attachment will be placed not only upon the Morning News, but will also include the lot on the corner of Starr and Newhall streets, which that paper has been for some time offering as prize for the most popular subscriber to the News. The suit will be one of the most interest ing when it comes before the court that has occurred in years
 MT. Atwater last evening said his ac- ton was due in particular to the editorial squib in last Fridays News, but, though, there were other articles included.

 As secretary he reported that 133 inter ments had taken place in the past year, a gain of thirty-four over the year preced ing He said that there are now only about five of the ordinary sized lots 1Sx30 feet left for sale, these being over on the west side next to the wall on Ashmun street.
 It was voted that the salary of the treasurer, superintendent and clerk be the same as last year. The present board of auditors, Rev. Dr. Beardsley, Wilbur F. Day and Charles H. Leete were reelected.
 The standing committe were authorized to hire a night watchman for the warm weather, as they have done the past four or five years
 This practically completed the business to be done, but before motion to adjourn could be put in, Frederick B. Fansworth arose and moved that they proceed to elect a treasurer, secretary and superinten- deIt for the ensuing year. He said this question was raised last year and the meeting was informed these offices were filled for life, and he did not know wheth- CT this information was correct or not. He asked the chairman for his opinion if these offices could be held until the incumbents' died, resigned or were removed.
 MT. Baldwin replied that he had been asked by the authorities when the gues- ton was raised last year to look up the charter and consult the records, which he had done, and that he took particular in- terest in the matter, as his grandfather was one of the founders of the association and held office. He said that it had always been the custom for the incumbents of these offices to con. IT, IL the charter might perhaps be little old fashioned, but according to his opinion, officers to these positions could be elected only at 8 corporation meeting duly called together.
 MT. Farnsworth, continuing, said he thought yearly election would be much more satisfactory to the incumbents them selves and be much more business-like He affirmed that sometime they would be in position to regret that it were not so, though with such officers as they had in al present it might be good enough.
 Alderman Hitler was among those present and wanted to be informed if the trustees were elected in that way and wal told by the chairman that according to hit impression they were.
 Mir. Hitler also wanted to know how an6 when the treasurer's salary had been raised from $500 to $1, ,000. He was told this had been done some years ago at regular meeting.
 Ex-Mayor Henry G. Lewis made vigor ous defencesof the present custom, affirming it was the way to have officers who would take an interest in the association and tha he for one would not have the slightest delicacy to speak, if he saw an officer who was not attending to his duties. He said he did not want the question of office te loiter around and find fault when they can't do as they wish. Some people, he said, over step their authority.
 When he finished speaking burst oi applause went up and then the meeting adjourned.

THE ORANGE STREETS WIN.

THE ORANGE STREETS WIN. An Exciting Contest on the Howard
 Avenue Grounds - Neary's Good
 Work in the Box and the General
 Excellence of Both Teams.
 One of those games of base ball that tires the nerves of the excited spectators was that played at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday afternoon between the Orange Streets and the New Haven Ath- letic club It was certainly a remarkable game for amateurs and would have been credi table to professionals. The work of both pitchers was superb, Weary giving one of the best exhibitions of pitching by by an amateur ever seen on the grounds. He had the heavy strikers of the Ath- letics just where he wanted them, striking m sixteen u,O out on his pu puzzhng dsliv- v too much for the batters and they suc- ceeded in connecting with the ball only in spots. Kinsella, too, was effective in keeping the Orange Street batters down to six hits, although he was hit pretty hard at times. The out and infelders of the Athletics were kept continually on the hustle, pulling down long flies or stopping cannon ball grounders.
 Captain Beecher supported Weary be- hind the bat just about right and the clock-work regularity of the two quite gulfed the Athletic boys in haze. At sec ond base Hotchkiss played his usual bril- liant game, assisting in a pretty double play besides assisting at the obse- quies of several base runners. Lincoln was another terrible obstacle to ambitious base runners, playing strong game.
 The teams were neck and neck from start to finish, and base hit or mis- play of any kind would have won or lost the game.
 In the first half of the ninth inning the Orange Streets went to the bat with the score to against them. Their penchant for pounding out victory in the last inning has giving Captain sPatten no end of trouble and he changed his shoes for luck. The efficacy of this charm was not apparent for A. Beecher, the first man at the bat, drove liner to right field for a base. Second he reached by theft, and a moment later went to third on pritty hit by Clark to right field. Ford then drove grounder to Shortstop Coogan, which nearly lifted him off his feet. Coogan made valiant effort to down the ball, but he was at the bottom of the heap when time was called, and Beecher and Clark had crossed the plate.
 Then all the pent up enthusiasm of the Orange Street contingent asserted itself, and for short time pandemonium reigned. No more runs were scored by either side, the next three Orange Street batters going out Neary easily retired the Athletics in rapid succession, and the vic tory was with o. s.
