THE KNEISEL QUARTETTE.
To Play for the First Time This Season
 at North Sheffield Hall Tonight

To Play for the First Time This Season
 at North Sheffield Hall Tonight.
 The appearance of the Kneisel quar- tette at North Sheffield hall tonight will be one of the most important events of the season. This famous organiza- tion is heard here less frequently with each year and New Haven will have only two opportunities to listen to their playing this year. This concert was to have been given early in December. but was postponed because of the ill., ness of Wilhelm Gericke. Tho pro- gramme for tonight consists of quar- tettes by Haydn and Beethoven and two movements from a quartette by Cesar Franck The Beethoven quar- tette is the first of the opus 59 in F major and is played by special request. This is the first of the "Rasoumoffsky" quartettes and is, in the opinion of many critics. the greatest of Beetho- ven's quartettes.
 Louis Elson, the Boston critic and lec- turer, said recently of this work: This quartette is the best of the great set of three, and although numbered as the first, was probably written last of the series. In this work, as in the whole Rasoumoffsky set, Beethoven becomes a species of liberator and breaks the bond age of formality in which Haydn had swaddled the form; indeed. he some- times goes too far and gives orchestral ideas to vehicle of. expression incapa- ble of doing more than suggest them"
 The concert begins at o'clock.

MOUNTAIN RAILROADS.
They Are Safer Than the Prairie Rail
 roads.

They Are Safer Than the Prairie Rail- roads
 There has been no state in the Union as fortunate in the matter of accidents as Colorado, so far as her passenger traffic is concerned. This is something marvellous, too, when one takes into consideration the fact that there is more crooked, winding roads in the state than in any other in the Union. There are more up-grades and down. grades and tapping over than on all the rest of the lines of the country com- bined.
 Away back in the past, when the pro- jectors and promoters of the Union Pa cific suggested to congress that it would be possible to climb over the mountains and band the continent with rails of steel, the members of congress laughed and told in long speeches of the folly of such an undertaking. Not very far back in the history of Colo rado, when the Rio Grande proposed to pierce the mountain fastnesses, many of the citizens derided the idea and suggested that others could ride in a train up over mountains if they wanted to, 'but not me-"
 But the Union Pacific found it's way safely through the mountains, and so did the Rio Grande, and so has several other roads. They carry the traffic across the backbone of the continent, and do not report as large a per cent. of loss of life as the air lines on the broad prairies. The secret of the safety of mountain roads lies in the fact that the best equipment is used, and the great est care exercised in the running of trains, two facts which guarantee safety.-Denver Times.

BUILDING AND LOAN BUSINESS.
Annual Report Submitted by State
 Commissioner Scofieid

Annual Report Submitted by State
 Commissioner Scofeld.
 Commissioner of Building and Loan | Associations E. l.. Scofield has just sub mitted his annual report to the gover- nor. In the report it is stated that the domestic associations are the same as were engaged in business at the close of the last fiscal year. During the past year four foreign associations, the Anglo American Savings and Loan as- sociation of New York city, the Guar antee Savings, Loan and Investment company of Washington, D. C., the Mercantile Cooperative bank of New York city and the United States Sav- ings and Loan bank of New York city, have withdrawn from the state.
 The total assets of the domestic asso- citations on September 30, 1898, were s. 637, ,S2S.12. an increase over the preceding year of s3S3 1892. .93; foreign associations, total assets, $4,313, ,Ol5.36, an increase of s472,020.72 The mortgage loans on do- mestic associations increased $3O2, 0O9- 55 loans on shares, s30,3l775, real es- tate, $41 t5730; stocks, bonds and other securities, s1S,270.22 and cash decreased, s13,177.22. The mortgage loans on for egn associations increased SIP, 2,22317; loans on shares, $2,93S.45 real estate, $351 6S137; stocks bonds and other se- curities, $61 ,45O, and cash decreased, s5332463. The liabilities in installments paid and earnings credited, of domestic associations, show an increase of S339,- 231 GA.
 The report states that the building and loan business legitimately con- ducted, has long since passed beyond the stage of experiment. and the public has been brought to an appreciation of the fact that building and loan asso- citation, honestly and economically man. aged, where care and prudence obtain in the investment of it's funds and where the basic principle of mutual CO., operation is strictly adhered to, is a blessing to any community where it transacts its business. As an agency in assisting persons of small means in acquiring for themselves homes, and in giving opportunities for periodical in- Vestment of small amounts, with a fair return by way of earnings, it is without a parallel for good in any other loaning CT investing institution. It should be the policy of the state to foster and en- courage all such institutions as legiti- mately pursue the objects of their ere ation, and at the same time to exercise such watchful care and supervision over them as has been the states policy in the matter of savings banks.
 Commissioner Scofield says that some of the associations have treated delin- uuent interest and premium as an earn ing and have made distribution and credit of profit on this basis. This is not in accord with good business prin- ciples, and he recommends legislation to the effect that no association be per- mitted to use or treat these delinquent cies as an earning.

mILKMEN TO CoNSoLIDATE.
Hope to Get New Haven Capital to Con-
 trol New Hayen's MILK Supply.

t The milkmen of New Haven are still l firm in their resolve to resist the en- | croachments which they think a syndi- | cate of New York capitalists is about to endeavor to make upon their business. Another special meeting of the Milk l mems association was held in the In- surance building yesterday afternoon, when the report of the committee ap-
 pointed at the last meeting to look up l the work being done by the syndicate was heard This committed, composed
 of J. M. Clark of Orange, P. c. Allen of Westville, J. R. Husted of Fair Ha- ven, c. N. Brock of Whitneyville, J. D.
 Bishop of Clintonville and George Page of FoXon, reported that the results of their several canvasses among the pro- ducers and milkmen concerned showed a general desire to resist any offers of the syndicate. The producers as a whole are willing to stand by the milk men and furnish them milk and milk men themselves, outside of the associa- tion, are not in favor of giving any op- tions to the syndicate.
 They reported that number of indi- vidual milkmen are scared at the threats of the syndicate's agents, some of whom are reported to have said that if they didn't give options to the syndi- cate now it would not do any business with them later. The routes, though, on which options have been actually given to the syndicate are few, and de- spite all the talk the association receiv- ed the report with satisfaction.
 Considerable comment was indulged in by the members present yesterday afternoon concerning the offers made by the syndicate's representatives, who would try to secure an option upon @ route, if taken, the owner to retire from the milk business for five years with out offering anything specific in return, except to snap up the route at whatever price it was offered, no matter how fabulous. An instance was cited of one route, the price talked about being $3,500 and the actual value being about $500.
 The milkmen also report cooperation in the stand they have taken by the merchants of the city, who are not in favor of the syndicate securing control of the milk trade and taking all of New Haven's milk money out of the city. New Haven pays fully one million dol lars per year for its milk, according to the estimate of a well known milkman. One merchant, hardware dealer, is re- ported to have said that he believes that it would ruin him to lose the trade he has in consequence of the milk busi- ness.
 At the end of the meeting a plan was proposed which met with general ap- probation-that of trying to effect a consolidation of New Haven capitalists to control the milk business and to fix a rate for both the producer and dealer. To talk over this plan committee of five was appointed as follows; w. M. Andrews of Orange, chairman; J. N. Huston, l.. G. Hemingway, William H. Hosley and Charles E. Buell..
 The next meeting will be held at an early date.

 ties.

 It was stated at New Brunswick this morning that during the day some of the county officials would have con- ference with representatives of the Le high Valley Railroad company. The latter have not yet given out state ment fixing tho responsibility for the accident and do'not indicate when they will do so.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
The Bourgogne Dtsaster-Opening of the Trial of the Suit of the Cromnrtyr-

London, Jan. 1.-The trial of the suit of the owners of the British steamer Cromartyrshire to recover damages from the Compagnie Generale Transat- lantique, on the ground that the lat ter's steamer La Bourgogne was respon- sible for the collision on July last, which resulted in so much loss of life, was opened to-day in the admiralty court. The French companys answer is that the Cromartyshire did not make the proper fog signals and ignored La Bourgognes signals of distress.
 The captain and officers of the Cro- martyshire testified that they sounded fog signals. They did not think La Bourgogne was in danger of sinking.
