BANKRUPTCY HEARING
Held Before Referee ShieIds-ln Mat
ter of Max Rabinovitc1.

On Monday Max Rabinoviteh, bank
rupt, and his daughter, Miss Dolly
Rabinovitch, were examined for four
hours before Referee in Bankruptcy
Thomas H. Shields in his Office. Some
weeks ago Mr.. Rabinovitch'S dry goods
store in GreeneviIle was damaged by
fire and he received 1892 insurance
money After the fire he went into
bankruptcy. He an dhis daughter were
examined in order to discover What be-
came of the insurance money.
The witness told the court that he
gave his daughter Dolly $3.50 and an
other daughter, Sadie, $3.50, and spent
5000 for goods, the balance going for
minor matters. The money was paid,
he stated, to daughters for back wages.
He claimed that his son Nathan, who
was not in business with him, owned
the two best horses and that he owned
the poorest one himself.
Dolly said she had expended the $3.50
she received for various articles and
that the court had the privilege of Wis
iting her home and looking them over,
but all she could specifically mention
was a 10 cent pin. The court learned
what Rabinovitch had to say relative
to $500 he had secured from his son
on note and regarding $575 he had
received from P. Strom.
Trustee V. P. A. Quinn appeared in
behalf of the estate and r. NJ. Doug
lass and E. w. Perkins for the cred
itors. The claims aggregate $3,26S. So
and the assets are about $1,000.

and the results in MeFiden and Hart
ford show this.
Mr.. Browning spoke of the pro-
gressives who, he said. had made their
great effort and had failed and we
must admit, speaking in all kindness,
that they had essentially gone into
defeat. The struggle was still between
for the progresstves was with the re-
publican party.
Referring to the last town election
last fall, Mr.. Browning said there was
much in its results for the eneour-
agement OF republicans for the party
and whether their names were Barnes,
Henderson or Bailey, they had all
made themselves felt and had proved
worthy members of the party and of
the support of their constituents.

SOM E MIXER,
Governor HeIconab Enjoys the PoEitico
Social Circle.

Governor Holcomb, who like Gov
ernor Baldwin. reached the age limit
for high judicial position. Is of a more
social turn than was his predecessor.
Governor Baldwin came from his home
in New Haven to the state capitol on
every legislative day and returned in
the afternoon. During his stay in
Hartford he spoke to no one and no
one spoke to him, outside of the ex-
ecutive Office. Not so with Governor
Holeomb, who smokes cigars and min
giles with the legislators. He is at his
office every day while the legislature
is in session. and is in the Allyn house
corridor every night, when not off ON
some social function. He presides at
the polito-sociaI circle, enjoys the
stories and keeps up his end of the
sociability. AS the midnight hour
nears he, with other friends, takes a
light lunch, and is on hand in the
morning to greet his companions of
the night before. Just because he hap
pens to be governor has not changed

A New Name for CHARS.

In one of the German papers recent
ly there was reference to Bismarck
herrings, Bismarck cigars, etc 1t ap-
pears there are also Bulow herTings,
which run Bismarcks very close in
popularity, and also Bulow hams. 1t
is suggested that the failure of Beth
ann-H ollweg to associate himelf with
any comestible is due to the length
of his name. But an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of Hindenburg has been selling
cheap .cognac as Hindenburg schnaps
and grog as Hindenburg tea Also
doubtful mixture of various intoxi-
cants has been christened HindenbuPg

were sold in opaque cups. should uave
