SUIT AGAINST THE TRAVELLERS


 Brought by Insurance Commissioner Betts-Damages Laid at SOO0,
 Hartford, Dec. 14.--Insurance Com missioner Betts has brought suit against the Travellers Insurance com- pany of this city. The writ, which was served by Deputy Sheriff senk, states:
 On the first day of February, 1897, the secretary of the defendant deliver ed to the comptroller a sworn list of all it's stockholders residing without this state on said day, and the number and market value of the shares of stock of said company belonging to each, &C., cording to which list the total numbe. of shares of It's stock belonging to it's stockholders residing without this state on said day was 2,0S3, and the market value of each share of said stock was $23O.
 The board of equalization met at the treasurer's office on the 18th day of Oc- tober, 1897, to examine and correct said return to the comptroller and the valu- ations required on said return, and then and there heard the defendant in regard to such valuations and adjourn ed until the 18th day of October, 1897. Upon the 18th day of October, 1897, the board of equalization found said re- turns to be erroneous. and on the best information which it could obtain made out the statement required by law to be returned by defendants secretary by correcting the statement as returned and the valuations thereon, so that when corrected the statement showed the total number of shares of defend- ants stock owned on the first day of October, 1897, by stockholders residing without this state on said day was g. 0S3, and the market value of each of said shares of stock, on said day, was $220.
 On October 23, 1897, the defendant paid to the plaintiff $146S.51, but de- clined to pay to the plaintiff the bal ance of the tax payable to the plaintiff from the defendant under the provis- ions of section of chapter CLIII of the Public Acts of 1897, and has never paid any more than said sum upon the tax payable to the plaintiff by defend- ant under the assessment hereinbefore described.
 The plaintiff claims $7,O00 damages. The writ is returnable to the superior court on the first Tuesday of January, 1898.

TO RE HANGED FRIDAY

Hartford. Dec. 14.-Nicideno Tmposi- no, the Norwaik murderer will be hanged at the state prison between 12 and 1 o'clock Friday morning. At present he is cool and takes matters quietly by spending a good deal of his time in sleeping. Before his associate in crime, Guisuppe Fuda, was executed he was forgiven by Imposino for all the ,wrong he did him. This was brought about by the help of Father Flannery, his spiritual adviser
 Before he dies 1mposino will probably be told about the confession made by Fuda. Thus far nothing has been said to him about it lest it should interfere with his preparations for death by rais- ing his hopes.

Action of Mnnufacturers' Committee Re-

 Fall River, Mass, Dec. 14. After be- ing in session the greater part of this afternoon the manufacturers commit tee has concluded it's labors and finally adjourned. At the close of the meet ing Secretary Rounseville gave out the statement that the committee voted to recommend a general cut down in all departments on the same basis, The matter of an address to the operatives is now settled and there will be none, nor will there be a conference between the manufacturers and the representa- tives of the operatives unless the need of such should become necessary to avert trouble, when there is possibili- ty that something of the kind would be brought into the situation. It Is hoped by the members of the committee that the fact that the cut is general and in cludes treasurers and superintendents in the same ratio as the operatives will lead the latter to accept the situa- tion, for which the manufactur say there is no remedy save that taken The salaried men in general favor the re- duction of their incomes as well as the wages of the operatives, not only as an expression of good faith, but on a busi- ness basis.

 Appeal-Big Business.
 The Consolidated road has practically completed the improvements upon it's equipment in the way of safety couplers and air brakes. agreeable to the order of the Interstate commerce commission providing that all the railroads in the united States shall be thus equipped by january l, 1898. This work has been going forward as fast as possible in con- nection with the general repairs, and there are now only a few cars in the shops in process of receiving this safety equipment, and it is expected all the rolling stock will be ready by the time prescribed. This does not include the New England system, however.
 The New Haven Railroad company Will appeal to the supreme court from the decision of Judge Wheeler in favor of the Shelton Street Railway company. This is practically certain, in any event, to block the project for several months. The consideration of the question of electrical equipment of a part of the Naugatuck division and similar plans in other directions will be deferred until spring, one motive for the delay being the test of the effects of ice and snow on the third rail, now in operation be- tween New Britain and Hartford.
 It Is stated officially that the traffic of the New Haven Railroad company for October and November was the largest for those months in the corpora tion's history, the increase being dis tributed in all branches of business. A part of the increase In passenger busi- ness was due to receipts from football passenger traffic in connection with the 1ale-Princeton game at New Haven.
 It is stated that the survey on the Groton extension of the Norwich and Worcester railroad carries the line through the front of the New London navy yard, and so conforms it to the east shore of the Thames as to specially adopt the line to observation trains for college races. Work on the building of the extension will begin next spring.

THE COMING NEW OPERA

MT. John Philip Sousa, whose new opera, "The Bride-E Elect" comes to the Hyperion theater on December 2S, 20 and 30 for it's initial performances un- der the management of Klaw x Er- langer and B. D. Stevens, said the oth- CT day in reference to his work: t'Ratfi- CT an unusual thing occurs at the very beginning of the opera in the length of it's first number which lasts over twelve minutes. I don't recall in the history of comic opera, as far as my own observation goes, any opening scene quite so long. In that respect it may be an innovation. And has it a march, you say? It hasr"
 The cast of "The Bride-Elect" has been selected with unusual care to form a perfect ensemble. The chorus of fifty has been pronounced the best singing chorus that has ever been organized for comic opera. The voices are young and fresh, and the girls are all guaranteed young and shapely. The chief come dian is Albert Hart, who "broke in" to comic opera via the Clipper quartette and as DeWolf Hopper's successor as Wang" Hart's excellence as a stage humorist has been conceded for some years. Nella Bergen, the best singer on the light opera stage to-day, is the prima donna. Christie Macdonald, the ingenue, was for some years with Fran cis Wilson and in "The Bride-E Elect" will have the best part of her career.

He Has Acquired the Century-Old Tom
 Mead Place in Greenwich.
 The colonial Tom. Mead farm on the Boston post road etween Portchester and Greenwich ha s6een sold to R. Jay Walsh, judge of the common pleas term of the criminal court of Connecti- cut. In making repairs an ancient toll house separating New York from New England is being removed and only the old chimney is left standing. The toll gate is believed to be more than TAO years old. It was established by a company which owned and improved the road.
 It is said that the only body of men who dared to march through the gate in defiance of the keeper was the Con- tinental army, with George Washing ton riding at the head.
 The gate was kept until the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road was completed in 1S4S and stage coach travel between New York and Boston was abandoned.
