Rev. D. M. Hodge, pastor of the Univer- salist church in Danbury, and known to many in this city, has been called to the Second Universalist church of New York city. His Danbury congregation are much disturbed for fear of losing him. The society calling him is the one which was formerly located in Orchard street and ministered to by the Rev. Dr. Sawyer. So many of it's members have moved up town that the parish has just built the Sawyer Memorial church in 127th street. Harlem, between Fifth and Lexington ave- nues and Mir. Hodge, if he accepts the call will be the first pastor in the new location. The field is considered full of promise, and some of the religious papers predict that MT. Hodge will soon have one of the best parishes of his order in New York city.
 The Danbury Neaos says: The Rev. M. H. Houghton, of New Haven, will supply the pulpit of the Universalist church next Sun- day MT. Houghton is one of the most elo- quent men in the State, and has attracted large audiences in New Haven.

Proposed Improvements at the Navy

Col. Wait returned to Norwich, Wednes- day, from 8 trip to Washington, during which the preliminary steps toward several improvements at the navy yard were taken. At consultation between Secretary Thomp- son, Col Wait and Engineer Chandler, it was decided to erect at the navy yard building 15O by 40 feet, to supply hall for drilling the boys who come here on training ships. Engineer Chandler is to draw up the plans at once, and bids for material will soon be called for. It is not unlikely that the work of gathering and preparing material will be be- gun this fall. After consulting with the sur geon general, the Secretary also decided to recommend the construction at the navy yard of large wooden building to serve as hos pital costing from $2O,OOO to $50, ,0OO Chief Engineer Wright has also agreed to recon mend 8 handsome appropriation to continue the work on the dredging of the Thames river and New London harbor.-NO77cich Bulletin

seemed to be a new view of the matter
to Mr.. Blaine. In charging such bar
gain upon the two political parties in the
Senate, he was accusing both of great
baseness. Such an understanding would
have been anything but honorable, and
Mr.. Blaine but disclosed his own per
verted feelings in SO designating it. He
was alive to the dishonor of violating
this understanding, thereby showing
his knowledge of the rules of honor pre-
vailing among thieves. But he could not
arise to the elevation of sentiment which
perceived the dishonor of trading in the
rights of states and bartering senatorial
seats. Mr.. Blaine did not make good
exhibition for presidential candidate,
either in his bringing a charge that he
could not sustain or in his exhibition of
his idea of an honorable understanding.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

SPECIAL Meeting Of tho school Board.
A special meeting of the school board
was held last evening to make further pro-
vision for the erection Of the proposed new
school building, corner of Lime and Lemon
streets.
The president stated the object of the
meeting.
Mr.. McComsey read the report of the
committee presented at the February
meeting Of the board, and said that al
though he had signed the report it had
never fully met his views. He thought
the difficulties in the way of securing all
the advantages school room should pos
sess were much greater in a twelve-room
building than in an eight-room building.
He had visited other cities and found them
all opposed to buildings having more than
eight rooms. The lowest estimate of the
cost of the proposed twelve-room building
is $4,000. For this sum he believed an
eight-room building could be erected on
room one in some other section of the
city where it may be most needed. He
therefore moved that much Of the action
heretofore taken by the board as related to
the size Of the proposed building be recon-
sidered, with a view of offering a substi-
tute for tho erection Of an eight-room
building instead. The motion to recon-
slider was adopted-yeas %, nays 6.
Mr.. McComsey then offered the follow
ing substitute:
The building to be erected at Lime and
Lemon streets shall contain eight rooms
with an aggregate minimum capacity for
40 pupils. And shall be so constructed
that if at any time increased capacity shall
be required it may be enlarged without de-
stroying the symmetry of the building the
building to be erected after the plan adopt
ed by the board, without the annex.
After some discussion in which the
over-crowded condition of the schools was
referred to and tho necessity for still fur
ther room pointed out. Mr.. McComsey's
substitute passed unanimously.
Mr.. Slaymaker offered a resolution,
which, after slight amendment, passed in
the following form:
Resolred, That a special committee of
seven members of this board be appointed
to at once proceed to have drawings and
specifications made, in accordance with F.
L. Davis's plan of light and ventilation,
as adopted by this board at a previous
meeting, for the school building to be
erected on Lemon street, and report to
this board as soon as possible;
four members Of said committee to be
from property committee and that this
committee be authorized to make such
changes as may he necessary, and report
to this board.
The chairman announced the following
as the special committee Messrs. H. E.
Slaymaker, William McComsey, Luther
Richards, John l. Hartman, Robert A.
Evans, Thos. B. Cochran and c. Zecher,
the four last named being members of the
property committee.
Adjourned.

Mrs. Carrick, very emphatically; " it is a
complete fabrication, and cannot believe
that my husband ever made such confess
sion. He had too much consideration for
myself and his family to make a confession
which should be published to the world
five years after his death, when he could
have foreseen that his trial and his death
would have been forgotten by all except
those who were near and dear to him. If
it were possible for him to make confess
sion of crime of which lie was not guilty,
he would have made it public before he
died.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,
Before Judge Patterson.


Anthony Homan VS.. Gottlieb Heune. ac-
tion in debt. The plaintiff in this case
rented farm, which is situated along the
Conestoga creek, Immediately south of the
city, to George Henne, in April, 1874. The
amount Of rent for the year was $625, and
the plaintiff claims that George Henne
paid but $3.50, and there is yet 1915 due
him. When the farm was rented GOttlieb
Henne became surety for George, and the
suit is therefore brought against him.
The defense claim that the contract
shown in court is not the one signed by
them as that one was on whole sheet of
paper, while this one is but half sheet.
On the side which they allese was torn off
there was stipulation by which the plain
till was to build fence along the fields,
bordering on the creek. The defense
further is that Henne paid S475 to Homan.
He holds a receipt for that amount, and
he alleges that he suffered damaged
from stray cattle which got into the fields
on account of the bad fences.
Yesterday afternoon the plaintiffs coun-
sci stated that they were surprised at the
defense and asked the court to indulge
them until this morning to summon more
witnesses. The court therefore adjourned
until 9 O'Clock this morning when wit
nesses were called to show that tho con-
tract paper is in the same condition as it
was when signed by the parties and that
the receipt held by Henne is not in the
handwriting of Homan. On trial.
Before Judge Livingston.
In the lower court room the case of the
WaynesbOro mutual insurance company
VS.. George Shiffner was taken up. The
plaintiffs are an insurance company in
Franklin county and II. G. Book was the
authorized agent. The defendant took out
a policy through MIR. Book in this COM
pany and gave a premium note. They
called upon Shiffner to pay two assess
ments for losses by fires, but ha refused to
do so and they bring suit to recover the
amount of them, which is $3.50. On

from Louisiana. He was at once chal
lenged for his authority for the statement
and could produce none better than a

demand he eXonerated him from any
connection with the bargain. Senator
Bayard and other Democratic senators
emphatically declare that there had been
none. Senator Bayard asked how there
could be an honorable understanding
that balanced the right of one state
against the right of another state. This

ment bonds on tho homo and European
markets. 1t has branches in Paris, Frank
fort, New Orleans (where Mr.. Seligman
died) and San Francrsco. Mr.. Seligman's
seven brothers were connected with him
in the business, and this is the first death
which occurred among them. He was

and founder Of the Hebrew orphan asylum.
One Of the episodes in his life was the re-
fusal to admit him into tho Grand Union
hotel at Saratoga on account of his Hebrew
birth.
