The Alleged Incendiartes.

Fred Unmack, Joseph Sherry and George Erhler, the three men arrested for alleged incendiarism by setting fire to Courtland M. Wooding's barn, on Grown street, Thursday evening. were before the City court yester- day. Unmaek was charged with arson and all the men pleaded, respectively, not guilty. Assistant City Attorney Deming not being ready for trial asked that bond of $1,O00 should be required to ensure Unmack's ap- pearance when wanted, and three separate bonds of $75 each for the three men in the cases of intoxication. ] 0. R. Whedon de- tended Unmack and the bonds were fixed by the court at the amounts named. Since his arrest Unmack has talked some, and says he knows nothing as to how the fire originated. He further says he did not go into the hay loft just before the fire was discovered. MT. Siebert of the Club House at Westville claims that the men owe him 1925 for wine bought during the night preceding the fire.
 It having been reported that John G.. North had attributed the responsibility of the fire to Mir. Unmack, he has sent the follow ing for publication in correction of the mis- statement
 1T was not present at the Grown street fire, and having no insurance for MT. Wood ing did not investigate the cause of the fire nor procure the arrest of any party, nor have 1 formed any opinion in regard to the incen- diary. Signed. JOHN G. NoRTH.'

 MUTUAL Insurance.

The universality of applying Electro Mag diseases is only question of time, and req, son for this assertion can be given from scientific standpoint, through logical reason ing. The only hindrance to the universal adoption of Wilsonia is that all who apply it expect to be affected by the magnetic cur rents in similar manner and with the ssme promptness, which can never be. Suscepti- bilities to the magnetic influences are varied, and one of the most remarkable features of this treatment in our experience is the marked difference exhibited by individuals in this respect, hence the greater rapidity of cure in some than in others If the susceptibility to the magnetic influence is slow,ye by con- stant, persistent infusion of magnetic cur rents disease must eventually yield the is able. Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances have been last full in curing all forms of disease. We do earnestly invite all chronic sufferers from the country, well as those in our city, to visit our office We have seldom known person who was not favorably imp ressed after full investigation and explanation garding the Wilsonia.

Dr. Hawes last evening continued his exceedingly interesting account of places wis., tied by him in the Old World, giving a fine description of Geneva, the home city of or thodoxy, and of the beautiful lake of the same name. He carried his audience to Lausanne, where four religious ser- vices were conducted on Sunday three Protestant and one Catholic, de scribed the Tyrolese and told of the girls who played the peculiar music of the coun- try on their zitherns, and mentioned the two bridges and the picturesque appearance of the washerwoman at work on the river's brink. Thence to Frieburg, with it's famous organ, and to InterIacken and the mountains of Jungfrau, 13,671 feet high and covered with perpetual snow. A cataract 300 feet high was described. It appeared like an im- mensely long lace veil, the water reaching the bottom only in spring. The description of many other thrilling historic scenes filled the hour, riveting attention.

Death of Mrs. Fannie A. Goodyear.

The death of Mrs. Fannie A. Goodyear, wife of Miles Goodyear, of West Haven, which occurred shortly after midnight on the morning of yesterday, was the more sorrow- full for her relatives and many friends ow- ing to the entirely unexpected character of the fatal attack of illness with which she had been seized only few hours before. Mrs Goodyear had come to New Haven during the afternoon preceding her death apparently in full health, intending to make some calls. She stopped at the house of William B. Good year, her father-in law, on Grown street, and soon complained of not feeling well. It was discovered that the lady was very ill and phy- sicisns were hastily summoned, but the dis order-a disease of the heart-rendered of no avail the earnest efforts made for her ben- eft
 Mrs Goodyear was daughter of the late J. Lester Kimberly, of West Haven, and sis ter of E. l.. Kimberly and of Dennis Kimber- ly, now of Kansas. She had been married about fifteen years. She was lady of great suitability, and her many kindly qualities will be remembered not only by her equals in the social circle, but those in humble station, for whose sorrows she ever had 8 sympathetic word and generous offering.

A nIiIkman,a nItshap.

A milkman in Westville, Mir. Gorham while going over his route recently slipped and fell on the ice on Goffe street, striking on his head. He was not aware that he was seriously hurt, and started of in Q delir- erium, leaving his team in front of the lady's house which he had last served. The lady of the house noticed several times afterward that the team was not gone, and wondered at it. By and by the milkman appeared be. fore her in wild state, and she, knowing that he had had bad fall, urged him to stay. He went into comatose state and a doctor was sent for. The proper remedies were given him and he slept seven hours, and his wife was sent for. A gentleman who was going to buy COW for MT. Gorham met him while he was out wandering around and he went out and notified Mrs. Gorham. Mr. Gorham was taken good care of at the house of his patron and was removed to his home next day. He is now able to be out again, no worse for his fall, but looking out for icy spots Many of his customers missed their daily supply of the lacteal fluid, and were at a loss to imagine the reason.

 KEENE AS MACBETH
 Last evening at Carlrs Opera House ( Macbeth was once more slain by "Mac- duff" and some were made happy, others satisfied and many relieved. It is so long since one of Shakespeare's tragedies has been given in this city, and the reputation of MT. Keene being good, it was expected that large audience would be present, but that such an immense audience was attracted was a surprise to many. It is an evidence that the legitimate drama is 8 wholesome change from the many trashy things which crowd the stage at the present time. It is to be hoped that many of them will have to give way to plays from which some benefit may be de- rived, and some grain of cultivation and i'm telhgence added to the minds of the many who believe in and frequent the theater as place of healthful recreation and innocent amusement. Although the audience was large one, the presentation failed to arouse it to any great enthusiasm, and at times it gave evidences of being bored. The company as a whole was an unusually good one, and MT. Keene many times proved himself an able actor. His acting, while not like that of Booth or Me- Cullough, was impressive, and strongly de- picted the avaricious and malicious villain. The fear and horror with which he contem- plated the first bloody crime gave way to 8 brute strength and courage as he advanced in the record of terrible deeds, and in portraying passionate hate and bringing fear he showed a high degree of tal- ent. Several of his soliloquies were finely rendered. Mir. Keene appears to lack the power in voice and conception to render the trying character of t'Macbeth'' in all it's phases in 8 complete manner, but his work was decidedly praiseworthy. MT. George Learock, as ''Macdu1f," gave an able and satisfactory rendering of the character, and Miss Hamblin, with the exception of @ loo drawling delivery, made an excellent Lady Macbeth" Last year MT. Keene ap. peared here as Richard the H." and his performance of that character was an artistic triumph.
