railroad against Fred C. Wagner. This
| is a fight over the attempt Of the rail-
road which is commonly known as the
"Notch road" to get right Of way
through the land of one Charles III.
Montague at Suffield. The road runs
from Tariffville to Springfield and there
has been a long fight over the right Of
way through the Montague road The
railroad parallels the New York, New
Haven and Hartford roads line and

DIFFERENTIATION OF ANIMALS.

EXTERMINATIO OF ANIMALS.
The giraffe is now one of the rarest
of quadrupeds fact due to the per-
sistence with which it has been hunted,
and but for the care with which the
Indian elephant has been domesticated
and bred, 1t, too, might have declined
as race, a fate that may soon over
take it's African compeer One of the
most typical Illustrations which we
have of the short and sharp extermina-
ton of an animal race is that of big,
unwieldy animal called the rhytina
near relative of the seacow, one spe-
cies of which, the manatee, is not I'M
common in geological collections.
These animals have no hind limbs;
their fore limbs exist as f1ippers. and
their tail is set horizontally, as in the
whale The rhytina was discovered
about the middle of the eighteenth
century on small island off the KAN
tchatkan coast, called Behring's Is
lard. It.was here Behring himself was
wrecked, and Steller, who was natural
list to the expedition, described the rhy-
Tina the specific name of which ac-
cordingly is Cor was) Stelleri. The an
imals were easily killed, and afforded
good eating, the latter an all sufficient
reason for their slaughter The last of
this race dates from the year 1858 AS

ones, we have long list of extinctions
as the result of mans Interference.
Not to speak of the great aux, we
nave the dodo and the solitaire. The
second named was found in Mauriti11s
1t was killed off at the end of the sew
enteenth century The solitaire inbab-

IN AND ABOUT The COURTS
KNOTIY POINT DECIDED IN THE
PROBATE COURT YLSTERDAY.

Cases In the Divorce COurt-CIinton's
Peculiar Case-ShOrt Calendar in the
Superior Court-Many Claims for
Land.
Judge Cleaveland of the probate
court yesterday decided that he had
jurisdiction in the insolvent case Of the
Connecticut Electrical company, of this
city, and appointed Iohn T. Manson as
trustee. When the insolvent corpora
ton made voluntary assignment over
a week ago, through its counsel, Henry
c.. White, Judge Cleaveland was not
quite sure as to whether he had Juris-
diction or not.
Lawyer Henry G. White, for the as
signing electrical company, argued that
the probate court had jurisdiction.
Counsel relied for support of his con-
tention on Section 4 of the United
States bankruptcy act, which says that
"any person who owes debts, except
a corporation, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this act as a voluntary
bankrupt" He argued that this sec
ton plainly barred corporations in vol
untray proceedings from taking advan-
tage of the act and that therefore, the
probate court clearly had jurisdiction
in the case of the electrical company
which was a voluntary assignor. He
also claimed that this state has en-
couraged corporations when embar-
raised, to distribute their assets equt-
ably.
Judge Cleaveland did not decide that
he had jurisdiction until he had con-
suited every authority bearing on the
question. His decision, however does
not bar any creditor now, from apply
ing to the United States court to nave
the electrical company declared
bankrupt and thus taking the matter
out of the probate court.
