BANK DEPOSITORS MET.
6FFALRS OF WILLIIEANTIO BANK
 CONSIDERED.

Will Oppose Any Measure Looking to the
 Appointment of an out-of-Town Receiver
 -Natchaug Silk Mills' Assets Transferred
 to the Wrecked Bank.
 Willimantic, April 90.-A meeting of the depositors of the First National bank was held this afternoon in the town hall. D. $. Casey, who issued the call for the meeting, presided. He stated that there were good reasons for believing that efforts were being made to appoint an out of town man as re- ceiver for the wrecked First National bank, and it was considered wise for the depositors to oppose any such action. It was for the interest of the depositors thems elves, he stated, to have local business man appointed to the posi- ton.
 The depositors also expressed them selves as opposed to the appointment of Charles H. Phelps of Rockville as ad- ministrator of the estate of the late Cashier Risley. The petition for the appointment of MT. Phelps had been made by Mrs. Frank Adams, sister of Risley.
 The depositors drew tlp a petition, which will be presented to Judge of Probate Hubert Clark of this city, fa- voring the appointment of George E. Stiles, wholesale merchant in this city, as administrator of Risley's es- tate. It was also decided to recommend to Comptroller Eckels the appointment of State Attorney John l.. Hunter of this city as receiver for the First Ma tional bank.
 State Attorney Hunter said tonight that he would not accept the appoint ment of receiver for the First National bank if it was offered to him It Is probable that ex-Congressnlan Lewis Sperry will be appointed.
 Two more of Risley's forgeries were found this afternoon, one being note for $10,0O0 on the Citizens Gas Light company of this city and another being a bond that had been cancelled ill 1891. It has been discovered that Risley had been paying the interest on the bond ever since and Is supposed to have ap- proprfated the money to his own uses.
 At a meeting of the directors of the Natchaug Silk Mill company this after noon it was voted to transfer $900OO worth of assets, consisting of raw ma terial and stocks in the several ware rooms in the country, to the First Ma tional bank of this city and to the Sec ond National bank of Norwich, both of which were heavy creditors of the con- cern which failed last week.

ss,ooo TOWN ORDER FOUND.

 Nature of it Not Known-ComfOrt for Depositors.
 Willimantic, April 30.-The affairs ot
 the wrecked First National bank are
 assuming a normal condition. Exam
 iner Dooley and Cashier Culverhouse
 maintain a strict silence. The only statement MT CuIverhouse has made is that so far as any facts have come to his knowledge he sees no reason why the depositors should not be paid in full.
 The only thing which has developed recently is the story that an order on the town of Windham has been dis covered for Ss,O0O, The order is pur- ported to have been made prior to Oc- tober 1, 1884, and to bear the signatures of Selectmen Frank M. Wilson, William N. Potter and William J. Sweeney. It is said to be countersigned by Town Treasurer c. H. Dimmick. No informa- ton can be obtained regarding the date or the number of the order, but it is said that last Saturday MT. Dooley asked Treasurer Dimmick how many $8000 town orders there were out and was told there were none. After mak- ing several inquiries regarding the out standing obligations of the town, MT. Dooley went away but enough Is now known to establish the fact that a Windham town order. for $8,000 has come to light. Whether 1t was found among the assets of the bank or whether description of 1t has been sent for Identification cannot be ascer- tained.
 New cases come to light every day of persons who but a few days before the bank closed deposited large sums there for temporary safe keeping. Many an- ticipate that considerable light will be thrown on matters when the dead cashiers private papers are examined. They are supposed to be contained in a small box in the vaults of the bank, which doubtless will not be opened un- til next Friday, when it is expected that an administrator will be appointed. In this connection there is considerable To- cal feeling that some one should be ap- pointed to administer his estate who will look sharply after the interests of the many unfortunate ones The hear ing will be at Judge of Probate Huber Clark's office at 10 a, m.

and Doctors Talk
 Together.

In his able work entitled Longevity published few years ago, Dr. John Gard ner, of England, predicts that 0 vegetable agent will yet be found that shall so retard those changes that bring about old age as to prolong human life much beyond its present limit.
 Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced by this thought, many eminent physicians have called from time to time upon the Shak- CTS of Mt. Lebanon to inquire of them con- corning the secrets of medicinal plants, Tn which these sincere, simple-m1nded and Goa1 Tearing people are known to be wise ana skillful beyond all other men.
 The Shakers willingly told what they had iearned, and in turn received rom thelr Vis- ftors much valuable information about dls- ease, winch they at once made practlcal use of. The most important point was that II genuine and certain remedy could De Iounu for indigestion and dyspepsia, and the all- ments growing out of 1t, q long step would pe talk ell In the right direction. Old age, salu these phspiCians, begins In q failure or tne digestion, and so do most diseases at any and all periods life. The result of these com situations was the discovery by the Shakers of the desired specific, made Wpolly Iroh herbs, and now known as the Shaker Dlges3 tive Cordial. Its action Is magical ana worthy of it's origin.
 Where there is distress after eating, heart burn, sick headache, bad taste in the mouth; bilfousness weakness and wearlness, cold hands and feet, aversion to food, nervous ness, or any other symptoms of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove It's curative virtues. Behind 1t is the reputation Of people Wno have never defrauded or deceived their fel- low men.
 In order to test whether this remedy is adapted to your case, at practically no cost, you may procure trial bottle for ten cents of almost any druggist. myleoo et

Dredging company is now engaged in deepening the water along the 200 feet frontage of w. A. Warren & Brothers wharf on South Front street. The dredger takes up about three cart loads at each dip of the dredge and the work is watched with interest by many spec tators. It is the intention to give a depth of seven feet a low water and thirteen feet at mean high water, thus allowing a pretty large vessel to come loaded to the wharf. The material is used In filling back of the new wharf. The company has a dredger and scows down the harbor to transport the sur- plus material that is dredged.
 The repairs on the east side of the Grand avenue bridge are being pushed ahead under the general directions of City Engineer Kelly, w. H, filling Is in charge. of the men employed by the town. The repairing on the east end has brought to light a large amount of rotten timber and 1t Is believed the electric cars would have broken through had they been rum over It. When the city made repairs three years ago the town part was not rebuilt. New tim bers are being substituted under the railroad tracks to make that portion secure; the rest of the structure will do very well until the new drawbridge is built next year.
 Professor W. H. Brewer will give an illustrated lecture on "A Trip to Greenland" at the Y. M. c. A. rooms this evening. n

CHTN4MEN HEED FOR TRIAL.
Three for Opium Irregularities and Two
 for Attempt at Bribery.

Three for Opium Irregularities and Two
 for Attempt at Bribery.
 Hartford, April 30.-Joe Him, Wang Swon Ink and Bow Yee, the three Chinannen arrested Thursday afternoon after the raid on the opium joint on State street, were given a preliminary hearing before United States Commits sloner Marvin yesterday afternoon. They were charged with manufacturing opium for smoking, without having given the required bond. United States District Attorney George F. Mclean conducted the prosecution and the ac- cused were defended by Joseph L. Bar bour. United States Inspector J. Thomas Scharf, Deputy Collector A. E. Howard, T. M. Byxbee and HI. G. Par sons of the internal revenue office tes- tified as to the raid and the seizure of the cans of opium. Charles T. Sing of Third avenue, New York, was sworn in as interpreter. The three accused men all swore that the opium was a manufactured product made to eat, not to smoke They described the process of manufacture and the ingredients used. It was made from opium upon which duty had been paid. Argu- ments were made by District Attorney Mclean and MT. Barbour, and Com missioner Marvin found probable cause in each case. Wong Swon Ink was held in $100 bonds and Joe Him and Bow Yee in $50 each for trial at the next term in the United States district court in this city on the fourth Tuesday in May.
 The cases of Lou Yan and Wong Ling, charged with attempting to bribe United States Inspector J. Thomas Scharf were then taken up. MT, Scharf, Deputy Collector Howard and F. W, Giddings testified as to the facts in the alleged attempt at bribery. United States District Attorney Mo Lean prosecuted and Joseph l.. Bar bour defended the accused, as in the previous cases. No interpreter was needed as both men can speak and un- derstand English. Lou Yan told story to the effect that MT. Scharf had promised to get the three other Chinanlen released if he would get him $200. He was only able to raise $50 then, which Scharf grabbed" from the hand of Wong Ling in the United States court room. Ling testified that he went with Tan as witness and to hand the money to MT. Scharf Com missioner Marvin found probable cause and held the men for trial at the May term of the United States district court, Lou Yan in $500 and Wong Ling in $10O bonds, the latter on his own reeognizance. MT. Marvin afterwards reduced Vans bond to $150.
 The four Chinamen were handcuffed and cained together and taken to jail. Commissioner Marvin's office was crowded with Chinamen and other spectators during the trial. The $50 which MT. Scharf took from Wong Ling, Friday, was given to Lou Tan by the direction of Commissioner Marvin. | It was after o'clock when the hearing closed.

Fishermen Don't Like the Bill Restricting

 The bill now before the legislature providing that during the summer months, in seaside resorts, no pounds shall be set within 800 feet of the shore of a summer residence, without the owners consent, is of especial in- terest to several New Haveners who |own cottages at Crescent Beach and Mantle. A short time ago Professor J. J. McCook of Hartford, whose cottage lis at Crescent Beach, received an i'll spelled letter, presumably from some fishermen, threatening to fire the cot tages at that place if they were not allowed to set pounds where they pleased. The cottages of George w. Newton and W. O, Carpenter, both of Hartford, who requested the presenta- tion of the aforementioned bill, were burned to the ground last Thursday, and other cottage owners are extremely anxious about their own cottages

l Speculation Irregular and Business Was
 on n small Scale.
 New York April Misrepresentation at
 the stock exchange was irregular to-
 day and business was on a smaller
 scale than of late, amounting. to 262,S5o
 shares. The market lacked foreign
 support at the opening, in fact Lon-
 don was seller in the initial trading,
 but subsequently arbitrage houses
 turned buyers. As a result good judges say that the foreign purchases and I sales about balanced each other on the | day. Local operators who have op- posed the rise from the very begin- ming also sold at the start. Then they reversed their position but toward the
 close they tried their hahds once more
 at the grangers, Sugar, Louisville and Nashville and General Electric. In the last hour they had the assistance of liquidating sales by holders willing to turn paper profits into cash, but they made little impression on values. Northwest ran off to 96B, Burlington and Quincy to 73A, St. Paul to 62 and Rock Island to 66A. These shares showed little if any recovery at the close. General Electric moved up point to S41s on the publication of the figures from the annual report, which were more favorable than expected.
 Late in the day the stock returned to 931s on the rumored retirement of Directors Twombly and Mills. The last named confirmed the rumor of his retirement After considerable backing and filling the industrials except Leather common closed lower on the day The announcement that the Amer ican Sugar Refining company had ad- vanced certain grades of refined an- other 1-16c per pound did not stop reali- .zation in the stock, which at one time sold down to 10S1s and closed at l095s against 110 yesterday. The leather stocks enjoyed another spurt, the com mon rising 21S and the preferred to 90. The Cordage stocks were heavy and 1@11s per cent. lower. The anthra- cite coalers weakened early in the day, I but subsequently, recovered and closed steady. Lackawanna lost % on the day, New Jersey Central F and Dela- ware and Hudson 4; while Reading was unchanged. The street waited for the action by the sales agents all day, but nothing developed until after the close when it was stated that the agents had again adjourned without action until Thursday next.
 Speculation in the last hour was weak l and a majority of the active issues sold I at the lowest point of the day, The closing was rather weak. Northern 1 Pacific preferred was exceptionally | strong throughout, ranging between 21ss & 221s. Net changes In the active list | show losses of M@11s per cent. on the day.
 Railway bonds were active and I strong. Sales were $2,23S0O0
