in revival services, having penitents come

fashion us the Methodists, They have also
discarded many Of the peculiaritiesi in dress
which formerly characterized the Friends

stPatrick's Picnic.

A Gala Day at Hamilton Park Which
 Was Enjoyed by Several Th0nsand
 People.
 The great annual picnic of St. Patrick's parish occurred yesterday, and as has been predicted was grand success. The day was all that could be desired for such an occasion and Hamilton Park never presented more gay appearance. The children in large num- bers were present during the. early part of the day, and their elders later. All kinds of amusements were introduced for the benefit of those in attendance, and dancing was in dulged in by both young and old. Captain Flaherty prompted, and kept the feet of hap py dancers in motion to the music furnished by brass and string bands.
 The horse racing was one of the principal features of the days sport. The trottlng hurdle racing and flat races proved very in- teresting and was greatly enjoyed by the spectators.
 It was one of the largest gatherings ever assembled at the Park, and throughout the day it was thought at least 5000 people had visited there, which will result in netting a l very handsome sum for the benefit of the or phans of St. Patrick's parish Among those present were Rev Fathers Slocum, Briscoe, Mu1holland, Cooney, Hard l ing and Preston, besides quite number of
 the Catholic clergy from out of town. At the close of the day's festivities it was | St. Patrick's was the best, and that is saying | A yood deal

The Police Commissioners

Refer the Wilcox Matter to a Committee
 and Fine Officer Mantle Five Days Pay
 for Sleeping on His Beat.
 A special meeting of the Board of Police
 Commissioners was held last evening, Presi-
 dent Bollmann presiding. All the commis
 sioners were present. A petition from sev
 eral residents of the Twelfth ward asking
 that two men as special policemen be assigned
 to duty as speedily as possible to protect that
 part of the city bounded by Middletown ave-
 nue, Pine, Atwater and Fillmore streets was
 read and referred to Chief Webster.
 The matter of further investigating the
 cause of Aaron Wilcox's death was then taken
 up. Commissioner Harmon stated that the
 brother of Aaron Wilcox was present and perhaps might have some explanation to make. R. ". Wilcox, of Southington, the
 brother of the deceased, said that he had
 nothing further. to say than that he was most anxious to have the cause of his brothers death investigated fully. He thought that the Commissioners had done all in their power and he had no fault whatever to find with the manner of their investigation.
 The testimony of Rufus E. Wynkook, 8 former inmate of the hospital, who was at the institution when Wilcox was there, and which was taken at the last meeting of the Police Commissioners by phonographer, was then read by Assistant City Clerk Crowley. Wynkoop's testimony was similar to that given by Dr. Russell so far as concerned the statements made by Wilcox when in the insti- tuition. It was to the effect that the officers | had used him harshly and in putting the nip pers on kneeled and stamped upon him. AL though Wilcox was at times in great pain and prayed for death to release him from his mis- cry, he was perfectly rational and seemed to know what he was talking about.
 After the reading of this testimony the Board went into executive session, which lasted over two hours. As no conclusion was reached the entire matter was referred to 8 committee consisting of Commissioners Sloat and Catlin to present finding for the Board s approval at the next regular meeting.
 Charges against Officer Maulte preferred by Chief Webster, charging him with sleep ing on his beat, August 6, and also reporting for duty forty-6ve minutes late was then ] taken up: No evidence was introduced as the officer admitted the offences charged. He said he very tired and while standing un- der an awning went to sleep. His only ex- cuse was that he had lost his usual amount of sleep on Saturday as he went to West Haven to see If he could ascertain anything as to the cause of Jennie Cramers death. In ex- ecutive session the officer was fined five days pay. The board after discussing several fea-
 lures in the Cramer mystery adjourned.
