Harves. Festival At The Second
 Church-The Police On Duty-In Case
 of Fire, Whata
 The harvest festival at the Second Congre- gational church last evening was an unquali- fled success and was largely attended. The platform was handsomely trimmed with autumn leaves and sheaves of grain, and the exercises were very appropriate. The chill dren of the Sunday school sustained their parts very nicely, the recitations of the in- fant class being particularly well done.
 John M. Kehoe is quite seriously ill with quinsy and sore throat.
 The new special policemen donned their bright new blue suits yesterday morning and began patrolling the east side, the Iefulgence of their g1ittering brass buttons striking terror to the hearts of the would-be disturb CTS of tie peace whose wont has been to congregate on the corners of the principal thoroughfares and annoy church-going peo- pie with remarks not beftting the day. The officers will no doubt prove unequivocal and Quinnipiac streets will henceforth be able to get asleep any evening before mid night.
 Dr. H. E. Stone is materially improving his property on South Quinnipiac street.
 The temperance meeting held yesterday afternoon was the largest held in some time.
 The south side of the bridge over the west channel of Mill river is open, although the horse cars are able to pass readily. Saturday evening gentleman from New Haven, not being aware of the changes, attempted to jump off the car while it was passing the opening in the bridge and had he not been dragged back by the conductor would have fallen into the river.
 Miss Hattie Augur, of South Front street, had the misfortune to lose pocketbook cor taining considerable sum of money on that street last Saturday night.
 The recent fires on the Heights have had the effect of awakening east side people to the fact that in any residence the east side should catch fire nothing could pre- vent it's burning down completely.
 Church services were well attended yester- day. At the Second church communion service was held.

THE INSTITUTE.
Proposition Looking Towards a

Free Library.
 Saturday evening the committee appointed by the Court of Common Council to make arrangements for free public library con ferred with the directors of the Institute in regard to the question of the latters turning over their property to the city. The direc- tors held private meeting up stairs, the citys committee in the interim waiting be- low in the reading room, and presented proposition to the city's committee. The substance of the proposition submitted is as follows: ''If the city will guarantee to main tain a free public library, they will turn over all the property in their hands upon either a nominal rental or else an actual rental, in which latter case the amount received from the city is to be invested in books and towards maintaining the library. The propo sition contemplates the establishment of library in the present building for some length of time and also contemplates it's re- moval to some more suitable building soon as possible. It also provides for reassuming control of the library by the directors if, at any time, the city should not fulfill it's agree ments' The expense of running the library is to be defrayed, according to the proposi- tion, by an appropriation from the city an- nually."
 The city's committee thought favorably of this proposition and voted to recommend that it be accepted by the Common Council at it's next meeting.

SECRETARY COON srEps DOWN.
Prompted by Secretary Manning HI,
 Sends In His Reclamation.

sFromPted by Secretary Manning He
 Sends In His Resignation.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Early last week Assistant Secretary Coon of the Treasury de- pertinent went to New York for few days On the day before his departure Secretary Manning informed him that the time had come to ask him for his resignation, but that there was no pressing hurry for it. MT. Coon after reaching New York addressed the fol- lowing letter of resignation to the Secretary:
 NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 1885,
 The Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the
 Treasury:
 Sir-In response to your request I hereby tender to the President through you my res ignatlon of the office of assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to take effect upon the quali6- cation of my successor. In doing so beg to express my acknowledgements for the kindly assurance of your entire satisfaction with my performance of the duties of my office and for your expression of regret that you must part with me. You further say that for reasons not necessary to explain you are under the necessity of asking for my resigna- tion. I can only infer from this that these reasons are political, or, in other words, that I am retired from the office to which I was appointed some eighteen months ago because I am not in politica. accord with my supe- riors. I beg to inform you that early in March last, on the supposition that there might be feeling of this kind, frankly in formed the President and yourself that while I had been promoted to the office of as- sistant secretary after a service of nearly twenty years in the treasury without the in tervention solicitation of 8 single poli- tician, had always been and still was Re- publican. That while I did not deem it consistent with either the circumstances of my appointment or the spirit of the reform in the civil service to which the administra- tion was pledged to abandon my office be- cause of political preferences, yet I was ready to do so at any moment it desired by you. To this yon replied that you desired me to remain and assist you 'for the pres ent at least, i" and while solely intent upon giving you large support in all matters ap- pertaining to the public business have not failed to observe that my continuance in office has not been acceptable to considerable portion of the party. press and many politi- cians. The frequent criticisms showered upon you in this connection have made it plain to me that public sentiment as con cerns one party at least is not yet sufficiently advanced to encourag or approve the retention of sub ordinate officers for reasons other than poli- tical. I infer that this is also the conclu- sion reached by you. With the pleasantest recollections of your courtesy and best wishes for you personally, have the honor to be, very respectfully your ebedient servant,

ARMY OFFICERS IN A FIX.

A Duel on Their Hands if They
 Do Not Apologize for Insulting an
 Aged Divine.
 FL PAso, Tex, Nov. IA scene imp1ica- ting two well known army officers took place in the Methodist church here few nights ago and is causing sensation in church and social circles. On the night in question Lieutenants Day and Birmingham of the reg ular army accompanied two young ladies to church to hear the eminent Kentucky divine, Rev. Dr. Ditzler. The four seemed to have attended church purely as matter of diver sion for they laughed and conducted them selves in such fragrant and improper man ner as to cause persons in their vicinity to move their seats and avoid them In his ser mon Dr. Ditzler touched upon the evils of dancing and skating rinks, whereupon Lieu tenant Birmingham and his companion got up and left the church. Their departure caused Dr. Ditzler to request the congrega- tion to remain seated and not be leaving the services. It seems the behest of the minister was construed by Lieut.. Day as an insult to his friend Birmingham, for inn mediately upon the close of the services both soldiers returned to the church and openly charged the aged divine with insulting them This he denied and in the heat of the contro- versy charged Birmingham with untruthful- ness. Birmingham drew himself up in hos tile attitude as though about to strike the old preacher. Intense excitement prevailed and M. $. Brewer, prominent member of the church, came forward to the pastors re- lief and took the quarrel off his hands He ordered both officers to leave the church, at the same time giving them both his address and stating that he expected them both to call on him and intimating that they were towards if they did not. Both officers are placed in unenviable positions They must either apologize or fight Brewer or resign their commissions. A fight is looked for, as Brewer is a typical Texan and will laugh them out of the army unless they fight.

Said to be a Very Active Seeker After
 Offices.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. Tt is said Mrs. Gen. Sherman has been quite persistent an office seeker, and has urged the appoint
 ment of her brother, Hugh Ewing of Lan- caster, O., to position in the diplomatic corps. She wanted him sent as minister to one of the Catholic countries of South Amer ica, on the ground that he is devoted mem Der of that church, but neither the President nor Secretary Bayard consider such a reason sufficient in making such appointments. Mrs. Sherman has been active in behalf of others beside her brothers, but none of her candi- dates have been selected so far. The Presi- dent has been quite obstinate in his treat
 ment of women who have sought appoint ments, as he does not consider it consistent with the dignity Of true womanhood for them to come here on such arrands. Those who have written him letters have received re- spectful consideration, but those who have come here have accomplished nothing

WARD GONE TO SING SING.

Sentenced To Ten Years At Hard La
 Dor And He Does Not Move a Muscle.
 NEW YORK, Nov ,1885.-Ferdinand Ward was sentenced by Judge Barrett yesterday to State prison for ten years. After overruling exceptions to his rulings and points for new trial, Judge Barrett said: s'You seem to experience no remorse whatever over the ruin and sorrow which you have brought to hun dreds of people in this countay. You have done more to unsettle public confidence in moneyed institutions than any other man of this generation, and yetthrough this entire trial you have shown yourself to be wholly unrepentant for the sins you have commit ted. This being the fact, I must simply content myself with pronouncing the sen tence of the court, which is that you shall be confined in the State prison at hard labor for the period of ten years" Not 8 muscle of the prisoners face changed while these scathing remarks were made. He bowed his head, but did not tremble or show any evidence of feeling. Ward was quickly surrounded by his friends. He put on his overcoat, took his derby hat and left the court room accom- panied by his keeper. He was taken to Sing Sing on the 2:30 train, accompanied by Sheriff Davidson and Warden Kiernan Ward received the extreme penalty for the crime of which he was convicted.
