WHEAT CROP FOR 1S99.
Report of the stattstfcan OI the Agri-
 cultural Department.

PpAs CA tAAO tDe A&Fts
 cultural Department.
 Washington, Dec. 15.-The statistician of the department of agriculture re- ports the wheat crop of the United States for 1899 at 547,3OO, 1000 bushels, or 12.9 bushels per acre.
 The production of winter wheat is put at 291,700,00O bushels and that of spring wheat at 255,6O0,000.
 Every important wheat growing state has been visited by special agents of the department and the changes in acreage are the, result of their investi- gtaions.
 The newly scheduled area of winter wheat is estimated at 30, 0,150,0O0 acres, which is about 100000 acres greater than that sown in the fall of 1893. The sowing of wheat is still going on in California and some of the southern states and the foregoing estimate is subject to correction. The average of condition is 97.1
 The acreage sown with rye is estf- mated at O.7 per cent. less than that of last year. The average of condition is 92.2 per cent.

Carriers May Do So on and After Jan-

 Postmaster Howarth has arranged to have the forty-two letter carriers of this city register letters in the residential part of the city on and after January 15. This is in accordance with the au- thorization of the postmaster general who has named New Haven among the cities to be thus honored.
 MT. Howarth says the carriers will not be allowed to be delayed in order to explain the manner of sending money in a registered letter, but when person desires to send such letter the applicant will be furnished with a printed card of instruction. Only eight hundred of these cards have been sent to the local office, but it is expected that an additional supply will be forwarded later.

THE DAMAGE FROM FOREST
 FIRES

The actual cash damage done by the forest fires is hard to estimate. A con-
 mission has recently been appointed to make a canvass, and has reported that in the last twenty years in the territo- ry if the United States and the land in British North America the damage has footed up eight hundred million dollars. In the one year of 1880 a territory was burned which comprised at least 10,250,- 900 acres. The value of the forests alone was twenty-five million dollars. And the year chosen was not one par ticularly noted for the frequency of its fires. In the west, where a thick growth of trees, long. dry season and the reckless prodigality of the inhabi- tants make combination favorable to large losses, the damage is wonderful. The smoke from the frequent fires is so thick that 1t renders the navigation of Puget Sound dangerous. Thirty million dollars worth of stumpage has been burned in one part of the state of Wash ington. During the year 1898 the num- Der of fires was exceptionally large, and, though the reports of the damage are not yet all in, there Is sure to have been a loss of property footing up mill lions and millions of dollars.--Detroit Free Press

BOOKS AND READING.

Subject of an Address to St. Paul's
 Church Club by pr. Gilbert.
 Rev Dr. Levi Gilbert of Trinity M. F. church delivered an address before the St. Paurs Church club last evening on the subject Books and Reading" pr. Gilbert spoke of the desire to read and the opportunities that laboring men and clerks have for cultivating the same and for reading extensively He said that reading gives one a full mind and a topic of conversation. He re- marked at the same time on the bar renness of ordinary conversation. He urged the necessity for good reading, and said that the best books are the most familiar books-books that one is ashamed to say he hasn't read. To one who has cultivated the taste for read ing, he said, nothing affords keener en- joyment He advised his hearers to read more, to read good works and fix in their minds and assimilate what they dld read.

PUTNAM TRAMWAY
Has Not Been Sold to the Consolidated
 Road

Has Not Been Sold to the Consolidated Road
 Putnam. Conn, Dec 25-The officials of the Peoples Tramway company to- day categorically denied the truth of the published reports to the effect that the property of the company had pass ed into the hands of the N. Y, N. H. and H. R. R. Go. It was further added that negotiations are pending looking toward the control of the Tramway company by the New Haven railroad people.
 The Putnam company is owned in its entirety by the contracting firm of Sanderson & Porter of New York Its charter authorizes a capitalization of $600,000 and bond issue of $500,OOO It also has trackage rights for about thir- ty miles, from Moosup to the Massachu- setts state line
 Capital has been paid in by Sander son & Porter to the extent of $500 900. and up to date nearly all of this amount has been expended in construction and operation. Ten miles of the protected lines are already in operation; five miles more are in process of construction, and the projected balance of distance will probably be constructed before very long.
 There has been no bond issue so far. but it is announced that about $20O, 900 in bonds will be issued soon
 It is further stated that cordial rela- tions exist between the Tramway com pany and the New Haven railroad to the extent of an understanding provid- ed for interchanging switches at Day vile. In other words the Tramwav company hauls freight from it's con- tributing points to the Norwich and Worcester line of the New Haven com pany, and there is an interchange of freight traffic.
 The official statement is forcefulIy made, however, that in spite of such relations there is nothing to indicate change of control

PROGRAMME AR
 RANGED.
For the Dorscht Lodge Charity Con
 cert Sunday Night

For the Dorscht Lodge Charity Con | cert Sunday Night. | The excellence of Dorscht lodge con | certs is too well known to New Haven people to need any further praise. Al ! that is needed is the bare announce ment that the concerts are to take preciate good music is at once aroused This we'll known lodge. composed of the best musicians in the city, has for a number of years held annual series of concerts, the proceeds of which have gone to a fund which has been estab- lished to aid meritorious aged musi- clans In previous years the generous New Haven public has largely patron ized the charity concerts given by the ledge, and it is expected that when the first one of this seasons series is given next Sunday night at the Hyperion the theater will be filled with one of the largest audiences that has ever assem- bled between it's walls.
 The low price of admission seems re- markable in view of the fact that the musicians who will take part are well known as being the best in the city and among the best in New England. The full Dorscht lodge orchestra of thirty two pieces will furnish music under the leadership of Frank Fichtl, leader of the Second Regiment band Mrs. Nora Russell -Haesche will b. the loist. Miss Grace Gallagher, the harpist, is down on the programme for several numbers.
 Tickets are only twenty-five cents and may be secured from members of the lodge, at the music stores and at the Hyperion. The meritorious object of this concert should commend it to the generous New Haven public, and all who attend may be assured of an even- ing of pleasing entertainment.
 The following programme the merit of which is at once evident has been arranged:

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.

The iron workers on the new Wash ington building, corner of Church and Grown streets, are in the habit of heat ing bolts and tossing them while they are red-hot to an attendant, who catch es them in keg, from which they are taken and inserted in the holes, Yes terday bolt was 30 thrown, but the attendant failed to catch it. It went across the Street and struck a passer- by, James Wilson of Hamden, upon the shoulder, burning a small hole in his coat. Had the bolt fallen a few inches higher, striking him possibly in the eye, the damage would have been serious.

BANKRUPTCY MATTERS.

\ There was a further hearing yester- ' day morning before Referee Newton in < the case of the petition for bankruptcy Aof Simon l.. Simpson of Grand avenue, furniture dealer. The petition was { filed about six weeks ago. At that time the petitioner made oath that his as- sets were $1, 400 and the liabilities about \ $16,000.
 Attorney l.. E. Jacobs, who represents creditors in New York and Pennsylva- nia. having been informed that goods belonging to the petitioner had been found concealed, made application to the referee that Isaac Cohn of Quinni- piac street, who furnished the informa tion. should be summoned before the referee to testify as to what he knew
 about the case.
 At the hearing yesterday morning Cohen testified that quantity of Simp
 son's goods were stored in barn at 1S2 Ferry street. MT. Jacobs made an
 application that the trustee should ob-
 tain possession of the goods and Deputy
 United States Marshal Bowen went
 over and obtained possession of the
 goods. which, it is said, are worth from S2 900 to s3, O0O A keeper was then put
 in possession of the goods
 It is believed that the creditors of the firm of Halsted & Harmount, the lumber dealers, who have offered 50 per cent. in settlement will accept on De- cember 20, when the meeting is to be held. The committee appointed to rep resent the creditors, have heard from most of the lumber dealers and others to whom the firm is indebted, and all of the responses thus far received have been favorable.
