4 BLOW AT TRUST COMPANIES
Important Decision Just Handed
 Down By Supreme Court.

The Decision is the Result Of Case
 Which Started in This City-Judge
 Loves Original Ruling on the Case
 Upheld by Supreme Court.
 New Haven, April 5.-A decision which threatens to upset the standing of a score of trust companies doing business as foreign corporations with ill the bounds Of Connecticut. has been handed down by the supreme court of errors The decision refers to the administration of estates and ~ means in brief, says the Register. that no foreign corporation, although es- pecially chartered in New York and Massachusetts. has the right to act as administrator of Connecticut es- tates. The decision came about on a case brought by the Farmers Loan and Trust company against Frances J. Smith. resulting from the death of Edward S. Smith of Waterbury in the summer of 1900. The will was proven and the Farmers Loan and Trust company was offered as admin fstrator, but the judge of probate did not approve of the appointment and an appeal was taken to the superior court. Judge George w. Wheeler de- cided in favor of the trust company and an appeal was taken to the su- preme- court. The latter court upset the decision of the other court on the grounds that as foreign corporation it had no right and was de- prived by the statutes from acting as of estates of deceased persons. The effect of this decision may be sweeping from the fact that there are at least twenty foreign cor porations transacting business in this state on some of the largest estates.

FLEMING G|RL ALL RIGHT.
Case Not One of Varioloid But
 Only Vaccina.

Excitement Has Subsided ill the North
 End and Bishop Street School Will
 Not Be Closed-Two of the Isolation
 Hospital Patients We're Released
 From That Institution To-day-No
 New Cases.
 Health Officer Kilmartin said today the case reported yesterday i'll the fam- fly of Michael Fleming, 27 Beacon street, turned out to be nothing seri- ous, nothing worse than an eruption brought on by vaccination. He said that there is nothing to fear there and he saw no reason why every inmate of the building should not attend to their usual occupation This will be well come news to everybody, and especial ly to the residents of that section of the town, many of whom feared that 1t meant the closing of the Bishop street school and also an indication that the malady was working it's way into that neighborhood. All the rooms in the school will be open Monday as usual. There is nothing new in the situation, so that it looks as if the au- thorities have got the disease under control, and it is hoped that we'll hear of no more new cases.
 The Misses Rosie and Mary Ann Neayette, two of the isolation hospital patients, who were removed there from the Mccarthy block, were discharged from the institution to-day ill good health and spirits. Their cases were we'll developed when they went there and on this account they are the first to leave the premises. Several others will be let go during the next week. The quarantine will be raised to-mor- row on the Bernier block on Baldwin street, the Gauthier place on Charles street and on the Nieman house on Jewelry street. This will still leave a quarantine maintained in portions of buildings in Washington, River Farm and Division streets; full quarantine at the house on Meadow street, and at the hospital; a quarantine in the upper floor of McCarty's block and at house on Ben Mohr

Over $GUO, ,OO0 To Be Divided Among
 Towns-Waterbury Gets $6,44S.9S.
 Clerk Mansfield in the office of State Tax Commissioner Andrew F. Gates at Hartford has completed. from the returns made to the commissioner, the amounts which are due to the towns of the state from the tax on banks, trust, insurance, investment and bridge companies, in accordance with the law passed at the last session of the legislature, by which the tax on the stocks of the corporations named is paid to the state treasurer by the corporations and by him transmitted to the several towns in which the stockholders reside. From the one per cent tax on the value of these stocks as fixed by the board of con- trol the sum of $633, ,9O2.5 has been raised. Of this amount $115, ,S46. .43, being the amount from nonresident stockholders, will go into the state treasury. The balance, less the ex- emptions to ecclesiastical societies, charitable and educational organiza- tions, will go to the towns. Last year the state treasury received $175,3S3. 75 from nonresident stockholders, or S59,537.32 more than this year. The decrease indicates that large amount of the corporation stocks have come back into the state and now pay tax to the towns. The amount Water bury will receive is $6,44S.98; Nauga- tuck gets S2,635.21; Watertown, ST. S36.5S. Hartford will get the largest amount, it's share being SPOT, ,5S1. 80, while New Haven, which is next high est, gets only 9,95S.S7.
