WALL STREET SUSPECTS
 LEAK ON I. c. 0. REPORT

New York. July 14---That there was a eleak's in Washington through which trickIed advance information on the character of the Interstate Commerce Commission g report on the New Haven situation was the general conclusion reached in Wall Street af- ter the. contents of the report were made public yesterday. New Haven was firm and closed higher, whereas it was rnysteriously weak all of last week. At that time the Street con ciuded that the Department of Justice was planning some prosecutions, but yesterday, the secret was out.
 The present maRagement of the New Haven was mot responsible for Acknowledgement of the past; it is en- gagged in a. 1nerftorious programme or reconstruction which eventually should put the road in as strong a financial position as it was a decade or more ago Around present prices. New Ha- ven has discounted it's unfortunate past and henceforth it is more likely to begin to discount a better future.

DINNER TO MR. BAKER
Retiring Assistant Y. M. Q. A. secre- tary is Given Appropriate
 Send-oR.


 A farewell dinner was given to. G. Cornelius Baker, the retiring assistant secretary of the, local Young Mems Christian Association, last evening. Mir. Baker leaves today for his new duties as general secretary of the association at Chelsea. Mass. and the affair of Monday night was gotten together by the alumni and undergraduates of the Springfield Y. M. c. A. college who are in this vicinity this summer.
 The guests of the evening, in a.ddf- ton to MT. Baker, were his successor Thos. F. Willmore, Springfield fl, and Dr. Laurence L- Doggett, president of the college. P. P. Haven, one of the first graduates of the institution. way back in 1887, proved an. admirable scompanion and speaker with his rem iniscences and stories from so long ago. D. ?. eBridges, Springfield II, also responded to a toast in very delightful manner.
 The arrangements were In the hands Of J A. Wells. industrial secretary of the r. M. c. A., where theNdinner was held. It was a very successful event. and a fitting recognition of the three years of service rendered this city by the former assistant secretary.
 Bridgeport has been always very close to the Springfield College, for during the twenty-five years of it's ex- istence she has contributed fifteen men to be trained up in the Massa- chusetts city Of homes. But Spring field has sent many graduates. to this city, and in MT. Willmore the twelfth man has come to Bridgeport from that institution.

FIg Tree Ripens Fruit In Yard of
 SmaffOrd Man

While Fairfield county is noted throughout the state for It's fruit growing the first fruit bearing fig tree on record in the county is one owned by William Roehrich, a florist of Strat- ford.
 Four years ago, MT iRoehrich was. given a slip of a fig tree by an Italian. With little hopes for ts growth, MT. Roehrfch planted It. Since that time the tree has thrived until St IS now more than six feet in height. Its branches are loaded down with luscious fruit, already three-quarters ripe Mir Roehrich believes that the fruit will ripen, even though the climate of Com necticut does not tend towards tie proper growth of the fig tree,
 The tree first bore fruit two years ago.. Tn moving the tree, he in some manner injured it, so that many of the blossoms fell off while those re- naaining did not develop. Last year the tree again bIoomed. Because of it's location, he found 1t necessary to move it again, resulting in the loss oe all the blossoms.
 This year MT. Roehrich believes that the, fruit win ripen- The branches Of the tree are loaded down with the fruit and he anticipate with pleasure che rfpening of the fruit This year the tree has not been moved or in any way hampered with, so that the frait ripening more rapidly. and reaching a more advanced state than ever be- fore.

THIRTEEN ROADS IN
 RECEIvERS' HANDS
(Barron F,fnanciaI News.)

New York, July 14@With the ap- pointment Of receivers for the Cincin- natl, Hamilton & Dayton Railway, the total mileage of railroads under the operation Of receivers was brought up to 16, 0o0swith an aggregate stock and bond capitalization of more than $1,- 900, ,00o, ,O0O., Without taking into ac- count minor systems which are in de- fault there are at present thirteen roads being operated under court di- rection, having a total of 16.1e4 miles, funded debt of $747,172, 168, and capi=. tai stock of $319,8O9, 1885.
 In the present year, two roads pass ed into receivers hands These, are the c. H. & D. and the. Trinity and Brazos Valley, and, in the case of both roads, receivershfp action was taken because. controlling interests were no longer willing to carry the load innS posed by the unprofita'bIe operations. The railroad situation, in addition to being c1ouded by a billion dollars of securities in geceivership, rests also at the present time under the shadow of another $219,689,1 ,152 of securities of the Rock Island, passing through friendly reorganization, and of two other systems, Missouri Pacific and Boston & Maine, unable to meet note maturities and forced to offer exten sion to noteho1ders with the alterna- tive of receivership.
 Heavy liquidation of Western Mary land stock propably has some connec-1 tion with the unprofitabIe operations of the road in the past fiscal year. For the fiscal period ending June 30, there was a. deficit. of $2,5O ,Oo0 after de- ductfon of all expenses of operation and fixed and miscellaneous charges, as will be seen when the pamphlet re- port is published. It required 114 per cent. of gross Revenues in May for operating expenses alone, before mak- ing any allowance for taxes, fixed and other charges Including fixed charges property for that month. will approxi- mate 150A per. cent. Including all ex- penses and charges for the full fiscal year, operation of the property re- quired between 1SO and 15O per cent; of gross revenues.
 An involuntary. petition in bank ruptcy dIed in the United States Dis urict Court in Buffalo against the United States Light & Heating Go. by a member of the Investigating com nnittee appointed at the recent annual m eeting ofSthe company was precipi- cu1ar to stockholders offering them s1, 100000 6 per cent. bonds for sub scription July IS. This bond issue was authorized at a special meeting of stock holders on the suggestion of the stockholderss investigating committee, which is composed of three stockhold- CTS The bond offering was made without the signature of the commit tee.
 As ar matter of fact the bond offering was not well patronized gby stockho1d- CTS and it's successful disposition did not seem probable. A second petition has been s1iled against the company by merchandise creditors who have claims of approximately s1o, 900. Both petitions have been taken under ad- visement by the court.
