poLps NEW THEATER.

Opera, not grand, but at the same time very nice. made it's initial kow tow on the Poli boards Monday, when the new stock company produced sue cessfully eThe Fortune Teller"
 The change on the stage was no more radical than the metamorphosis in evil dence about the house. All the attend- ants, fitted out lin gray uniforms, hobby little caps and summer smiles, gave the house the correct effect for a grand opening, while the plentiful distribution of hard working fans cooled the audi ence and made the theater most com fortable.
 The opera itself is a splendid version of the original Alice Neilsen hit with gorgeous stage effects, good voices and well-drllled chorus.
 The various parts were so well taken that there is little need for individual mention. Tn the double roles of Muz- zette and Irfna, Miss Bertha Davis proved herself a clever actress and her songs added much to the production. Something must be said of the work of James McEhern, the leading comedian in the role of Fresco. His comedy was perfect and of the most finished sort | He ranks with many of the comedians who have shown here in regular pro- ductions this season.
 1 The fine Herbert songs were well re- ' ceived, the most popular being tho 1 Gypsy Love Song" and the Chair Trio

Toledo, O., May 2S.-The Toledo Rail- way and Terminal oompany's property was sold under order of federal court to-day to Andrew J. Sullivan, chairman of the bondholders' committee, at the upset price of $2,OOO,OOO. No other bid was made.
 Most of the S3,5OO,OOO of stock is own ed by J. Pierpont Morgan and accord ing to Mir. Sullivan, this stock is ontire- fly wiped out and worthless.
 MT. Sullivan said there are no agree ments with any outsiders regarding the disposal of the road, although it is be- lieved that the road will be sold or leas- ed to steam roads entering Toledo, and used by them on the, cooperative plan. The property consists of a belt road which circles the city with a passenger and freight station centrally located.
 MT. Sullivan said if Mr Morgan should purchase the road from the bondholders he could undoubtedly make the stock good. Mir. Sullivan said if would take $S,SOOOoO to buy the proper ty in order to reimburse the bondhold- CTS.

MORRIS COVE R. R.
 KILLED IN SENATE
Bill for Incorporation De feated After Earnest
 Fight 21 to 13.
REJECTION BYROLLCALL
Three New Haven Senators Vote to Turn Down Meas
 ure Ten Years Old.

Hartford, May 2S.-Despite the fact that the house by an overwhelming majority passed the resolution incor- porating the East Haven and Morris Cove Railroad company, the senate this afternoon after long and some what sensational session turned the measure down by vote of 21 to 13. The matter was made the order of the day in that chamber and was taken up after recess, the afternoon session opening at 1:S0 The action of the senate puts an end to bill, for the time being at least, that has been buff feted about on the legislative seas for over ten years and which has been the target of those who would criticise the promoters in the state for attempting to float bogus trolley schemes" "wa- tered corporations" and dishonest en- terprfses."
 All kinds of allegations have been made against the promoters and cer- tain legislators who are alleged to have iDSSA SOAAASGNCI HAlAA l4lC ebALOlliJlGu Ill- corporation of the East Haven and Morris Cove road and it was on this proposition that detectives were alleged to have been brought into active duty in the corridors of the'capital building. The death of the bill this afternoon puts an end to all this for at least two years, but it came only after an earnest effort on the part of those who claimed that the propositions was an honest one.
 Senator Chase of Waterbury, intro duced an amendment to the resolution which provided that there should be no Issue of capital stock unless twenty per cent was paid in in cash and Senator Atwater also offered an amendment to the effect that no bonds should be fioated until twenty per cent of the cost of equipment was turned over. Another amendment introduced by Senator Judson providing that the com pany could not sell out to another cor poratiofl. The amendments, however could not be acted upon unless the re- port of the committee, which was an unfavorable one had first been rejected VI dCCeptcu, anu dS result they Ql0 not come up for a vote. On motion of Senator Donovan the vote on the motion to reject the resolution was by roll call and resulted as follows: Those voting yes: Senators, Spellacy, Grant, ] Brady, Middleton, Blakeslee, Homan, Shanley, Hodkinson Thompson, Hurley, |A Farrel, Buell. McNeil, Brown, Hoffman
 Walsh, Gates, Brooks, Barnum, Barnes and Briggs-21
 Those voting no: Senators Luther, McGovern, Hall, Butterworth, Atwater, Chase, Waller, Aborn, Donnelly, Jud- son, Donovan, Potter. and Keeney-13 The bill was therefore rejected. Sena- tor Butterworth at first voted for the rejection of the bill, but later on con sent of the senate he changed over tc those voting the other way.
