Hoped That the Scoyill Co Will Pur-

The Matthews & Willard Co.'S affairs
are now in full swing under the receiy-
ership of Judge Beardsley Of Bridge
port, who accepted the appointment
last week after some consideration Of
the matter. His bond is $4,000. Yes
terday in the superior court in New
Haven David S. Plume, of the Plume
s. Atwood Go, and Frederick b. Farms
worth of New Haven were appointed
appraisers and four months was al
lowed in which all claims against the
company shall be filed. The affairs
of the concern shall be wound up as
soon as possible. Every effort will
be made to sell the concern in six
months time, in which period it is
practically expected that it's affairs will
be in a form to put it on the public
market, when it will be sold to the
highest bidder.
The employees of the company earn
estly hope that it will be bought by
the Scoviil Manufacturing Co, the larg-
est creditor whose claim is about $780,
00O For long time the concern has
been running under shortened sail and
it is thought that if it is bought by the
Scovill Co business will flourish there
once more. Since the company took
hold of the Randolph Cloves Co bust
ness has been booming there and under
conditions far better than under the
old management. The wage rate has
been increased, better class of labor
has been employed and in a general
way a great improvement has taken
place. This is the reason why the
employees of the Matthews & Willard
Co hope the concern will become the
property of the Scovill Co.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The com
mittee appointed by the president to
select a site for the proposed uptown
.postoffice in New York city has prac-
tically accepted the proposition of the
Pennsylvania railroad to sell the site
on Eighth avenue running from Thir-
ty-frst to Thirty-third street, directly
west of the site of the proposed termi-
nal station of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The commission will meet in a
few days to take final action.
In addition it probably will recon-
mend the erection of a similar post
office building on site directly over
the underground system Of tracks of
the New York Central railroad to take
the place of postoffice station III, which
is adjacent to the Grand Central sta
ton. The New York Central people
have not yet submitted definite prop
osition, but it is expected they will
make one later on that will be accepts
BILE to the government.
The site Of the building contemplated
near the Grand Central depot is part
of the New York Central's right of
way. The PENNSYLVANIA railroads site
is part of the right of way Of that road.
The latter site occupies AGO feet ffopt
on Eighth avenue, running back 500
feet on Thirty first and Thirty-second
streets, and faces the proposed Penn
sylvania depot. 1t is calculated by the
committee, which consists of the secre-

THE STORY A FAKE.
Principal Of Washington School Denies
Story About Her Pupils.


The principal of the Washington
school desires to state that there was
no trouble in that building yesterday
because one of the teachers had ridden
on the cars. The principal was at
her post at the opening OF the school
and was the last to leave the building
in the afternoon. She is positive that
no disorder of any kind took place in
the school The teachers in, the
Washington school pride themselves
on the discipline maintained there and
the story that some OF the pupils re-
belled and caused trouble is very an
noying to them. Where or how the
rumor started is to them a mystery,
but the principal of the school says
she cannot deny the story in any too
strong terms.
