Wesleyan Uoiverstty-The seney Failure
 The recent financial embarrassment of George I. Seney, of New York, is 8 severe loss to Wesleyan University. He had agreed to give to the college about half million dollars and had actually paid over large part of this, but the depreciation of securities etc, will cause loss to the college of about $15O 900. In other words, the institution will only realize about $35o,OOo from source which had promised about $500, 900. A committee of the trustees has been ap- pointed to consider the financial situation and report the facts at future special meet ing. Until then the exact loss through MT. Seneys misfortune cannot be stated. There has been no change in the faculty. President Beach has been authorized to spend the con- ing year in attending to the financial affairs of the college, and in his absence, Professor Van Week will be the president pro tenn. The salaries of all professors were reduced ten per cent. by vote of the trustees Wednes- day.

For Shooting at 8 Priest.

Sentenced to Six Months in Jatl-W1Iiar0
 Pieree's Escapade With a Revolver.
 Rev. Father Mulholland was in the City court yesterday morning to testify in regard to Willard Pierce, who discharged revolver at the priest in Rowe street, Fair Haven, on Thursday night. The man addressed Father MulholIand rudely and then fired at him. The priest testified that Pierce followed him. He did not believe that Pierce meant to in- jure him. Pierce was sober enough to know what he was about. John H. Coleman said he thought that Pierce fired straight at the priest. Officer Clyne testified that he found the revolver in Pierces house, but that there were no empty shells in it. Attorney Flow Ter defended. The prisoner testified that he had been drinking liquor and then ammonia by mistake, and this so unnerved him that he did not know what he was about. Judge Studley said: "Had this man been sober he would have been charged with as- sault with intent to kill. think MT. Pierce puts himself outside of sympathy. If we impose light penalty there will be no safety on the streets. I will suspend judgment in the case of the discharge of firearms and drunkenness. For breach of the peace shall make the penalty six months in jail. My only doubt is that I should bind him over. If there is an appeal I shall make the bond $500"
