Where a Balance Is Going.

The decision of Judge Curtis in the
Litchfield county superior court that
a balance of S8,162 I'm the hands of
the receiver of the WATERFOWL Saw
ings bank shall be distributed among
the despositors settles a disputed point.
The depositors have already received
their principal and the forthcoming
payment viii cover a part of the in
terest due them.
good deal of controversy as to
who was entitled to this balance has
taken place. The bank went to pieces
as the result Of irregularities on the
part of its treasurer. The treasurer's
bondsmen were forced to settle to the
extent Of their liability They we're
hard hit and suffered severely.
The question Of determining who
was legally entitled 10 the balance left
after the depositors of the defunct
bank had been paid the amount OF
their deposits developed various views
1t was claimed by one party that the
other faction that the bondsmen should
be the beneficiarles; while a third
contention was that the persons who
were depositors at the time Of the
failure should be the recipients of the
surplus.
The court has now decided in favor
oe the depositors. Doubtless y this
conclusion is sound law. If the
case could have been determined, Oh
the basis of sympathy instead of or
the basis of the statutes, doubtless
the bondsmen, who reaped only loss
and suffering. would have obtained
some reimbursement from the sur
plus.-Hartford Times.

Excessive Regulation.

According to Vice President Will
lard of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad, az proposed laws
regulating railroads are now pending
before congress and the Legislatures OF
the eleven states traVersed by the
Burlington. Happily great many OF
these measures will not pass. Doubt
less a census of the sHti-raiiroad bills
now awaiting action i'll the legislatures
of states in which other great trans
portation systems operate would dis
close a similar surplus of regulation
proposals.
The fad for putting statutory fet-
tiers on railroads in the United States
has, during the past few years, as
sumed the proportions Of legislative
mania. II has checked the eXpan-
SION OF railroads and the construction
of extensions. II has introduced a
disturbing element and has made cap
italists hesitate to pour funds into
railroad development.
The tide Of anti-railroad agita ton
which attained its food just before
the financial panic hit the country is
now receding The hostility to trans
portsiton companies is less aggressive
than It was formerly. but it is still
now pending before the various 1egis
latures and designed to put additional
regulation on the railroads. shows
that the anti-railroad sentiment is still
far from played out. The railroads
Of the country do not object to proper
supervision. but some of the restric-
lions which have been imposed on
them in various localities are calculat-
ed to kill the goose that lays the gold
en- ego The difference between rea-
sonable regulation and excessive and
upsetting regulation is the difference
between an invigorating northwest
breeze and a destructive tornado

100000 a year and set it back to $50

ElonzaIex ouartette.

In the Flonzaiey quartette. Whlch
will visit Norwich next "Wednesday
local music lovers will find one OF the
greatest chamber music organizations
that has eveE~yjsited America. In Bos-
ton. New York and Chicago the Flon-
zaleys have been termed one of the
most excellent attractions that Europe
has had to offer for number or
years, The character OF their playing
may be Judged from the following
comment by the critic OF the Boston
Times: such a rendering OF the
Haydn quartette has certainly never
been heard in Boston. No organiza-
ton which existed before 1885 could
have played it IN this way, and no
more recent group OF players has
chosen to give IT in such manner. IN
ADDITION to technical perfection in
treatment an emotional handling OF
the tone material was to be observed
that made the playing most delightful.
There il no question as to what the
audience thought Of the performance;
rapt attention and enthusiastic ap-
plause showed clearly its opinion II
is hardly necessary to state That no
Boston critic would express such
glowing opinion without conviction.
The Flonzaley quartette viii appear
in Slater Memorial hall next Wednes-
day evening and undoubtedly will be
greeted by a large and representative
audience. All students of music win
find the playing of this quartette
stimulating for the reason that they
furnish a high ideal for any student
of music to strive for, and all those
who love music for its own sake will
find the playing of the Flonzaley
auartette full Of vigor and character
lied by warmth Of deliNersnce ard APP
probation Of the exalted emotional
contents Of the work. Admission, in
GLIDING reserved seat, is 81. Tickets
