 NO EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
 From the New York Worldl
 The Malley murder case is on trial at New Haven. The main question to be determined IS whether the Malleys poisoned Miss Cramer, and the answer to this question will be de- termlned by the answer to the question whether they had any motive for such an act, It is to be hoped that the American judge and lawyers for the prosecution at New Haven will heed the lessons of the Lamson case, in which great stress was laid by the Grown counsel upon the prisoner s vices. It has been shown that the "Malley boys" were per sons of loose and immoral habits. But loose life and immoral habits do not constitute a capital offense under the laws of Connecticut, as the coroner's jury seemed to image.

 1.-THE PASSING REGIMENT
 The appearance of the New Haven Opera House, filled as it was with select audience last evening, called to mind it's former suc- cessful period and the many excellent enter that were given there. The advent of Mr. Daly's company ffom his theater in New York is always sufficient guarantee of 8 irst-class performance, and be the play but good, the talent of the actors is such that they are sure to please. "The Passing Regiment" though very light, has clever portions, and, after the style of other plays of Daly, combines sentiment and fun in natural, pleasing way. Love, of different quantities and qualities md with all the trials and troubles which al- ways accompany the genuine article, monop- olizes the, greater part of the story. It arises naturally enough from the quartering of three or four gallant young officers in family where there is like number 3f willing maidens. The ridiculous situations which are brought about greatly amused the audience and brought forth shouts of laughter. The cast in the main was the same as appeared in New York, md, with the exception of the occasional loss ,f the ''cue, rendered their parts with their ,sual ability. Miss Ada Rehan has an un- common charm of manner, and portrayed he character of & Russian heress-'sa bit of Iuscovite ice and impulse"-in a fascinating md very natural manner, winning and hold ng the favor of the audience. MT. Harry I Pitt, as ''Lieutenant Thorpe Sydam," l made an excellent representation of fop- | ,ish young officer, worthy of special mention l or it's excellence. The scenes, stage setting | nd costumes were all in keeping with the | eneral excellence of the performance which | 7as highly enjoyed by all present The work of enlarging and reftting our | tore being completed, we are now ready to how those in pursuit of mems and boys lothing as complete line of spring and ummer goods as can be found in the State. With our Improvements we now have one of he best lighted and best arranged stores in he city, which enables us to show our large tock to the very best advantage, not only to urselves, but to our patrons.
