The ChnDDeIl MurtIer.

The adjourned inquest into the cause of the death of Harvey Chappell, the old man found murdered in Lebanon, was in progress yesterday. The reports that the hammer found in closet in the old mans house was covered with blood and hair proves incorrect. The hammer is known to have been about the place and was ss likely to be found in one room as another, but there is nothing to connect it with the crime as the instrument used except that it was in the house and the weapon must, from the nature of the wound, have been a heavy, blunt instrument. The finding of so much money in the house, $100 check and $6O in bills, is regarded by some as destroying the theory that robbery was the motive of the murder and leaving some other object, either interest or revenge, to account for the crime. The deceased had frequently expressed his of devising his property to some anti-masonic society and judging from his eccentric manner of life he was quite capable of putting his intention into execution re. gardless of the claims of relatives.

Sale of Patat1ngs.

It should be remembered that all of the pictures in the exhibition at Cutters gallery are offered for sale. The annual repetition of these exhibitions depends upon the sales that are made. The eminent artists who contribute their works for the cultivation and instruction of the New Haven public reason ably expect that fair number shall be sold ffom each collection, and if such is not the case of course they will feel no interest in trying to cultivate an unpromising field. Last year fifteen pictures were sold out of the collection, which was regarded by the artists as fair beginning. but it was hoped that a larger number would be sold this year. All lovers of art should feel personal inter est in making 1t possible to repeat this exhi- tion every year. It should be borne in mind that the collection will be closed on March 6, and tho unsoId pictures returned to the ar- lists f26 2t

AMERICAN THEATER.

Novelty and excellence are the characteris- tics of this popular amusement resort, and these are what have given it such strong hold on the amusement loving public of New Haven. Last nights performance opened with the ''American minstrels," in which Billy Williams and Press Eldridge "worked the ends, and there has not been given there this season more original or spicy minstrel scene. Most of the jokes were new and they were got of in that inimitable style that have made Eldridge and Williams such solid and lasting favorites. The finale, 'Scenes on Southern Race Course" was racy, witty, excruciatingly funny act and won for Billy Williams, its author, the com pliment of double recall. If it were the only attraction on the bill it would well re- pay an evenings attendance. James Dilks and Miss Nellie Gray, the musical artists, gave choice exhibition, their tomato can being especially interesting from it's novelty. The four Friscos presented a strong act, their singing and musical limitations being very fine and being received with liberal applause. The double song and dance act of Press Eldridge and Billy Williams gave the genial manager 8 chance to show his versa tile powers, and the ease with which he ma nipulated his feet was revelation to those who had never supposed his agility was so much superior to his avoirdapois. He can dance. and no mistake. The afterpiece t'Pay your Debts'' made the audience scream. The same bill will be given every evening during the week and Wednesday and Saturday after noon.
