AMPLE WORKING SURPLUS

Special to the Journal and Courier.)
 New York, Oct. 2S.-Though the market price of the stock of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road company was battered down to- day to 194 1-2 the drop can be attrib- uted to the general shrinkage of all securities ard not to well founded suspicion of dizzy financiering on the part of the management The fact has been noted and commented on by shrewd students of railroad statistics that with but one exception, and that last year, the showing or the road this year is the best in it's history. Pre- vious to last year, when the surplus was In the neighborhood of $4,000,0OO after the dividend had been paid, the average surplus was between $2oo, 00O and $30o,000. This year the surplus, according to the sworn report, is in round numbers, $2,0oo,o oo0
 Aside from the fact that the New Haven railroad Is holding it's own bet ter than any of the railroad properties except the Chicago, Illinois and the Chicago and Northwestern, it was sug- gested to-day by well known banker and broker that if the market Is to be | disturbed by reduction in the sur plus from $4,000,000 to s2,000, ,000, when before 1t grew fat on surplus never in excess of $300,000, 1t would | not be bad policy for the management | hereafter to keep it's acknowledged surplus at the latter figure, which is | 1t certain to earn. Even the oldest | f1nancier cannot explain on specific grounds even the unimportant fact that the New Haven is third in | the race of first class railroad securi- ties, In their judgment it ought to be as steady as a church, especially in view of the fact that in less than two months the road will begin to get the advantage of it's extensive improve ments.
 The same fnancier further sug- gested that in self defense it might be- come necessary Tor the New Haven management to enter upon an illfberal policy In making further expenditures in order to avoid harsh but unjust criticism. In commenting upon Pres ident Mellen's administration, he gave the man credit for outwitting them all in having anticipated what has occur red and filled him money bags with millions secured by the sale in France of railroad bonds, He gave it as his opinion that the New Haven is snugly situated with a surplus in the neigh borhood of S20,000, 900.

HARTFORD AND HER WIRES
SLOW UNDERGROUND WORK
Not More Than Half Buried, When All Should be Ac- cording to Legislative
 Enactment.
Special to the Journal and courier)

Special to the Journal and Courier.)
 Hartford, Oct 2S.-The legislature of 1895 passed law specifying the period within which electric wires should be laid underground in the city of Hart ford. This law provided that wires
 within a distance of one half mile
 north, south and west of the city hall
 building, the old state house, should be ordered underground during the ten years from June 22. 1895. Not more than one-half the wires within the area fixed by the statute were to be or
 dered underground prior to June 22, 1897. In the construction, of conduits for the wires one conduit is reserved
 for the city by agreement with the street board. The Hartford Electric Light company and the Postal Tele- graph Cable company have delayed in one way or another compliance with the statute until this fall. The electric light company has been laying conduits
 for its wires in the city hall district for
 two months. The wires of the Postal
 Telegraph company overhanging the SNASSISt RSAAAS3 ASNL AOA AllSSoSAA6S vice, have been ordered down. They will be replaced by laterals connecting
 with conduits of the Southern New
 England Telephone company. The lat ter company fully complied years ago with the statute that was passed In 1895 It has gone far beyond the boun- daries specified by law, and has its wires underground for one and half to two miles from the city hall. The company put underground last fall
 miles of 400 pair cables, The disposl- tlon of the Southern New England Tel
 ephone company to keep abreast with city has been commented on very fa- vorably from time to time. It was the first company to comply with the stat ute of 1895, and has been in the van yearly since that date The under ground cable system of the company in Hartford is one of the best in the country.

Especial Journal and Courier News service.)

Wallingford, Oct. Westminster eleven of Simsbury defeated Choata this afternoon on Choate field by a score of 10 to 0, in one of the hardest fought battles seen this season on the local gridiron. Both sides were very evenly matched and Choate came the nearest to scoring of any game this season. Bartlett kicked off to Case who caught the ball. He was downed. Then by desperate line plunges the Manor boys carried the pigskin over the line for the first touchdown after three minutes of play. Bartlett tried the goal and missed. After the second kickoff Choate took a brace and start ed the ball toward Westminster Two or three forward passes were tried, none of which worked. In a scrim- mage Brooks of Choate got the ball and started down the field for bril- liant thirty-f1ve yard gain By this time, the ball was on Westminster 8 five yard line and with little team work Choate would have scored Choate lost the ball and Bartlett got off a long clean punt which carried the visitors out of danger, Then the whis- tie blew and the first half ended with 8 score of 5 to 0, in favor of Westmin- ster. The second half opened with the ball on Choate's twenty-five yard Iine Case made a working forward pass to Masuda which netted the local boys f1f- teen yards. Then BrooKs reeled off a fine fifteen yard gain and again 1t looked as though Choate would score. In the next scrfmmage the visitors got the ball Hart started for brilliant run and carried the pigskin back to Choate's fifteen yard line after running almost the entire length of the field. A touchdown was made. Bartlett tried the goal and missed. The remaining five minutes of play the ball stayed in the center, neither side gaining. Near the close Goodspeed of Westminster was taken out and Williams was put in his place. For Choate Brooks and Masuda did good work. Hart and Bartlett played good football for Vest minister.

There was hearing in the superior court at New Haven to-day on an ap- peal from the Wallingford probate courts decision regarding the settle ment of the $60,000 estate left by Frank c. Shipman, late of Wallingford.
 Shipman died intestate. His parents were dead; he was unmarried; he had no brothers or sisters His realty hold ings, which included the south half of the trade building on Colony street in Meriden had descended to him from his father.
 Two sets of claimants of the real es- tate sprung up-called paternal and maternal heirs. The former of whom Mrs. Allen Butler, of New Haven. is one to base her claims on the ground of ancestral estate, contending that the property reverts to the estate of the elder Shipman under he circumstances, and thus falls to them. These heirs are represented by Williams & Harri- man of New Haven and W. c. Mueller of Meriden
 The maternal heirs, who include Mrs Rust, wife Of Ds. T. S. Rust, argue that the realty has lost its ancestral char acter by the conversion of some of it into cash and other changes and set up next-to kin rights, This faction of heirs is counselled by Judge Frank S. Fay and Attorney George A. Clark
 The probate court of Wal1ingford de- eided in favor of maternal heirs, and Mr. Mueller and the New Haven law firm took the appeal which is now be- ing heard.
