On Friday evening young man arrived in
Hartford and took a room at the Allyn
House, Hartford. whore he registered as
Samuel Fl. Jones, of New York He was
about feet inches in height, slim figure,
light complexion, face shaved close, except a
slight moustache, and well dressed. On Sat
urday he started cut to carry out what he
thought would be successful plan to rob the
merchants of Hartford. But he failed most
ANONYMOUSLY, and is now in jail. At first he
called On Hart, Merriam & Co., where he
represented himself as a student of Trinity
College by the name of W. Hayne Mason. He
said he was a relative of student of that
name, who, during his stay at college, was
one of the best known society men. He
looked at some Turkish rugs, and finally Sc
lected two worth $75 These he wished sent
to his room in Jarvis Hall, and rendered in
uayment check for 5000 on the Yale Ma
tional bank, of New Haven. The salesman
said il was against the rules of the firm to
cash checks for strangers, but that ne might
call for the balance, or it would be sent with
the goods He said it might be sent; and
the firm deposited the check in the after
noon, but did not send the goods, and were
first informed of the fraud after the arrest of
the would-be swindler.
AT two other stores he tried the same game
but failed, at third place, Graham Co. IS

bought articles amounting to 50 and got $11

At the station house he acknowledged that

to get money, as he was dead broke. lie said
his relations were in good standing.

to advise with him, and at Mr.. Jones re-
quest, after short consultation, the case

The Railroads..

Vice President Reed expresses the opinion
substantially agreeing with the views of
President Watrous viz, doubt as to the sim
cerity of those who talked of building road
parallel to the Consolidated railroad in this
State. He is further of the view that there
is not room for the two roads, land the peo-
pie who are after a charter know it, and only
want it for speculative purposes. To build
road on the line laid out would cost an enor-
nous sum of money, and no matter how
built it could not be made to pay. No, there
is not 70 ON for two railroads running up
alongside the Sound. There is no money
for us in much of the freight we carry. The
through freight is especially Improbable,
and I think we would be better off without
it at the price we get" AS to rumor
printed in Providence paper that the Con-
solidated road had signifed desire to lease
the Stonington and Providence and Boston
and Providence railroads, he said there was
nothing to it that it on par with some
of the other silly rumors that had been float
ing around about the Consolidated road.

The Leliten Season.

Bishop Mcmahon, of the Catholic church,
has not yet issued the regulations for this
diocese, but they are prepared, and provide
that all the week days of Lent from Ash
Wednesday until Easter Sunday be fast days
of precept on one meal day, with the allow
ance of a moderate collation. in the evening.
This precept of fasting implies abstinence
from the use of flesh meat; but by dispen-
sation of the Holy See the use of flesh meat
is allowed in the diocese at the principal
meals on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
of Lent, except Holy Thursday. The fasting
restrictions are not laid upon the Sundays
The use of fish with flesh meat at the same
meal is not allowed, but eggs, butter or
cheese may be used provided the rules of
quantity prescribed by the fast are complied
with. Lard and dripping may be used in the
preparation of fish, vegetables, etc. The
church excuses from the obligation of fasting
but not of abstinence from flesh meat, ex-
cept in special cases of sickness or the like
the following classes of persons: The inirm
and those whose duties are of an exhausting
or laberious character, growing children and
youth, women nursing infants and those who
are enfeebled by age. The regulations will
be officially issued in day Or two.

Glass Metallic Burial Cases.

An exhibition of glass metallic burial cases
in Peck Browns window on Chapel street,
under the direction of Mr.. Askins, attracts
much attention. The caskets are of the usual
shape and appearance, but are made with
frame work of iron, the panels being of glass.
The sides are draped with lace satin that
shows from the outside, and the combination
has many evident points of superiority, ad-
hitting of varied kinds and degrees of orna-
mentation. They are air tight, are claimed
to be indestructible by ordinary natural
forces, and are so constructed and finished as
to remove much of the unpleasant appear
ance of coffin, and the cost of them is mod
crate, they being furnished at nearly the
price of ordinary wood caskets. These beauti-
full caskets, which are well worthy an exami-
nation, are made in Thompsonville, Conn,
by the New England Glass Burial Case COM
pany, and are for sale at the Messrs. Blairs.

Yale Theological school.

President Robinson, of Browns Universe
ty, and his lectures before the Yale Theologi-
cal School are thus spoken of in yesterdays
haired gentleman of impressive appearance
between 60 and 70 years of age, tall, of Wig
orous countenance, with large yet symmetri-
cal features, having all together a physique
finely adapted for effective oratory He is
Roman in the cast of his mind and character,
with true Greek, but slightly concealed be-
meath the surface. His methodsQf thought,
construction and delivery are strikingly for
ensic. His mental processes are marked by
logical and metaphysical tendencies. His
introductions, in their measured deliberation
and somewhat angular manner, suggest
thoughts of GOODNESS and dryness, which are
very soon forgotten in the glow of discourse.
President Robinson has proved himself one
of the most powerful and intellectually elo-
quent preachers in the land. There are citi-
zens of Hartford, not exclusively Baptists,
who have heard him at his best, who declare
that in the magnificent sweep of elevated or
atory ne surpasses all preachers whom they
have ever heard Frederick Douglass stated
to the writer that President Robinson's in
formal, off-hand address 10 an excited meet
ing of citizens of Rochester at the time of
President Lincoln's assassination was unsur-
passable for the fitting choice of words and
the perfect voicing of the sentiments of all
hearts. President Robinson is an alumnus of
Brown University and of Newton Theologi-
cal Seminary. He was pastor for brief terms
near Boston and in Norfolk, Va, and for four
years at the Ninth street Baptist church in
Cincinnati, his principal pastorsh1p. Here
he delivered course of Sunday evening lee
lures on skepticism, which attracted much
attention and crowded his house. He had
previously acted as professor in theological
seminary in Covington KY, and in 1853 he
was made professor of theology in the semin-
airy at Rochester,N. Y ,of which he was after
ward president Here he remained until 1872.
when he was called to the presidency of
