Hawley in suits brought by different leased lines of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad Company and that company against Eaton for a refund of corporation taxes and costs, which the plaintiffs claim was illegally assessed upon the net income of corporations which were not carry ing on business within the meaning of the act of congress of August ,, 1903, in that all it's property was leased to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, which had paid corporation tax on the income of it's leased lines, which had already been paid by such lines under protest, as double taxation. The amounts asked to be refunded with costs are as follows: Providence, War ren and Bristol Railroad Company S2234 Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company, $5,873.91; Proyi- dence and Worcester Railroad Com pauy, S3.459.67, Hartford & Connecti- cut Western Railroad Company and the Central New England Railway Company, f543.t6.

Bitterness In an Epltaph.
T.. P B.
Boston, Sept. 1912.

Mason and Dixon's line Is fast be, coming a memory. but here and there are to be found evidences of the once bitter hatred which prevailed in the days of the Civil war.
 George w Kerdolff. who before en- tering the insurance business spent much time in the south, tells this story of an epitaph rudely carved on a block of sandstone yet to be seen in a Louisiana parish:
 When the slogan of the south was "On to Washington" and the youth Of the Confederacy had shouldered their muskets for the front, leaving only the older folks and women and chill dren at home, a band of Union sol diers came into Louisiana. Sighting the enemy, the aged men, assisted by the women. gathered together their scant supply of firearms and planned resistance. AS the Federal forces came up narrow lane. the southern CTS opened fire with such deadly effect that the invaders retreated, leaving one of their number dead upon the field of battle.
 The victors buried the fallen foe, and over his grave, to this day, one may read the roughly ehiseled epi- taph; The Yankee bands with bloody hands came southward to divide our lands. This lonely and deserted spot is all this -- old Yankee got Kan sas City Journal.

One of the particular features at the recent Guilford fair were some splendid apple blossoms. exhibited by Russell White, aged eight years. The display by the boy won a first pre- mium, and the blossoms excited much admiration from the many who visit ed the exhibit. Apple blossoms in September are considered quite rare and their appearance in the Guilford town hall caused much comment Among the other exhibits was a dish of strawberries picked from the field.

Wants Better Water.

Alleging that the health and safety of the public of New Canaan is endan- gered by the water supply, the warden and burgesses of that town asked the public utilities commission here to or der the New Canaan Water Company to improve the quality of it's supply. The hearing was largely attended. Professor W. H. Burr said that the company was not living up 10 it's char ter, and that the complainants could show that the water furnished was not fit to drink or even to bathe in. He said it was not even suitable for laundry purposes. Miss Olive NJ. Reamy told the commissioners that about all the water was good for was to water the lawns and plants, The bacteriological report submitted showed that the water is soft. of high color and not seriously polluted. It also showed that while the water is tuclean, 1t is not necessarily unsafe.

Opinion on Dividends.
 Attorney General Light gave writ ten opinion to the bank commission CTS in the case of companies which temporarily fail to pay dividends. In substance the opinion says: The legislature has said that the bonds under consideration s Il not be legal investments for savings banks when the corporation shall fail to pay divi- dends on all of it's capital stock. The word when is an adyerb of time and as used in the statute means at which time or while So l interpret the statute to mean that no bond of any railroad corporation named shall be a legal investment for a savings bank while or at the time such cor poration or the system of which it is a part, fails to pay dividends on all it's capital stock Therefore I am of the opinion that the payment of di- yidend after default ipso facto re stores said bonds to the eligible list for investments for savings banks"
