IN QUIET MrDDzEBURY.
Beautiful Quassapaug Lake and Tram
 uutltty Farm.


 Charles D. Sherman of this city spent Saturday and Sunday in Middle bury as the guest of MT. and Mrs. H. A. Abbott at their beautiful home, Lake View farm, on the shore of Lake Quas- sapaug. During his brief sojourn he took ride on the little steamer which makes frequent trips about the lake, which is two and one-half miles long and one and one-half miles broad He also visited Tranquility farm, which is the summer residence of J. H. Whitte- more of Naugatuck. Everyone who has occasion to travel between Nauga- tuck and Lake Quassapaug will appre- ciate the splendid road which MT. Whittemore has caused to be con- structed at his own expense for the benefit of the general public. From the observatory, located on the highest point of Tranquility farm an extensive view of the country for miles around is obtained, including Waterbury, the Hanging Hills of Meriden and, on a clear day, Long Island Sound may be discerned. Middlebury, although one of the smallest towns in New Haven county, contains one of the best ap- pointed town halls in the state. The new public library and reading room, which is open daily, is located in this building. Here again MT. Whittemore' s generosity is apparent, as shown by the many costly engravings which adorn the walls and the expensive oak furnishings, which include book-cas library and reading tables.

THEY DEPARTED SUDDENLY.

Two men appearing under the guise of electric wire inspectors obtained en- trance to the house of a prominent gentleman of the city yesterday by say ing that they desired to inspect the connections. It was evidently their purpose to have one watch the servants while the other went through the house after jewelry and money. The lady of the house hearing some one in the next room where, as it happened, were the watch and valuables of her husband, asked who was there. In reply to the fellows answer of Me- she desired to know who Me" was. Not satisfied with his explanation that he was in- specting the wires she went to the speaking tube and called to her hus- band. The men immediately made haste to escape from the house and were not caught. They secured noth- ing of value but would probably have done so had they not been disturbed. People will do we'll to be on their guard against any such men.

 City Court Bench,
 The United States bankruptcy law went into effect yesterday. There is a question among lawyers as to whether the law takes all insolvency business out of the probate courts. The text books say 1t does, but there are decisions of the state supreme courts which differ.
 In Connecticut there are decisions which are to the effect that the juris- diction of the probate courts is not disturbed. Judge Cleaveland will con- tinue to receive petitions in insolvency till the matter has been passed upon in this state.
 In the United States court referees will be appointed to look after all the insolvency business.
 MUST RELINQUISH THE STOCK.
 A decision was handed down by Judge Elmer yesterday in the suit brought to ascertain to whom ten six ty-fourths of the schooner Howard H. Hanscom belonged The suit was brought by William c.
