X general order from the adjutant generals office announces the figures of merit of each organization of the Connecticut National Guard for De cember, 1904. The First infantry stands second in the infantry regi- ments with 3s.63, the Second being first with 92.17 and the Third last with S4.13. The First, however, has the honor of having the company which leads all other infantry com panies, Co As figures being 9S.S0.
 The Hartford division of the Naval Battalion. the Second. leads the other divisions. the figures being 92.54, against s3.56 for the First and 77.95 for the Third. The average for the battalion is S4.6S. Other figures are: Hospital Corps, S3.34: Signal Corps S4.O5; Cavalry 92.92; Battery X S5.12; Machine Gun Battery 9l.2O: Coast Ar tillery TICS; Separate Company 9l.42.
 The same order calls attention of the commandants of the National Guard organizations to the fact that much of the clothing and equipments turned in to the arsenal for exchange shows evidence of marking and defac- ing, which is contrary to an order quoted which imposes q penalty of fine or Imprisonment or both for such acts. Commanding officers are warned to inspect all property returned that they may see that there is no further violation of the order
 The same order gives list of the changes since December B. 1904, in the commissioned officers of the Con- necticut National Guard, which have "'ready been announced in special or ders.

 Last evening as the 6:52 trolley car was crossing the track at the Naugatuck station the pole became detached from the wire just as the Watertown train was approaching. The conductor seemed to have lost his head and did not know what to do. Office: Donahue. who was on the car, replaced the pole just in time to pre- vent serious accident.
 Some of the residents of Bank street are aroused by the actions of sneak thieves who have been w,rkis,g in this section for the past few days. Yesterday the detectives were noti- fled that Mrs John Yablumas had lost two valuable rings which she had laid on the bureau in the bedroom. While she was out doing her trading some unknown person entered the house and took the rings. The thief has not been found yet, but the detectives are still working on the case.

TO HEAD OFF ATWOOD.
Legislative Hearing Will He Held Ts.
 morrow Afternoon.

No time is to be lost in bringing about an enactment of some legisla- ton which is aimed to make futile the efforts of Dwight Preston Atwood of New Haven to collect over $5O,OOO from administrators of estates on ac- count of failure to file inventories. Practically the first hearing before a legislative committee this session is to be devoted to the various plans for nullifying AtwoOd's suits.
 The one on which the lawyers pro- pose to concentrate their efforts is that offered by Representative E. $. Banks of Fairfield, who is himself member of the committee on Judi ciary, to which the whole subject is referred. That provides that none but one personally interested fn the settlement of an estate shall have the right to sue for failure to file an in- rentory.
 The clause directed particularly at the Atwood actions is that which pro- vides that the act shall affect all pend- ing litigation and suits.
 .,,,H has, been, suggested that. there might he some doubt about the effect Of the passage of such an act.
 In commenting on this phase of the bill Judge Banks says: There can be no vested rights in penalty prior to Judgment and consequently the prohibition against retroactive legis- latiOn does not obtain in this case.'
 The bill which was offered by Judge Banks is said to have heen drawn with the approval of many of the most eminent lawyers in the state. Morris w. Seymour. one of Fairfield county's ablest lawyers. is the chair man of the committee from the bar of that section and he has endorsed this bill
 The hearing will be held on Thurs day afternoon at ? o'clock, instead of Tuesday. as had been proposed, in the supreme court room in the capitol. and lawyers will he present from all parts of Connecticut to favor the en. actment of some bill which will pre- vent Atwood from collecting the dam ages he seeks.
 Atwood will be represented i,y At. torney Jeremiah Toomey of Bridge port.
