SING WON TEsTIFIEs,

The Trial of Marvin HI. Amesbury
 and Son-MurderOus Assault and
 Robbery-The Court and Jury Take
 a Trip to tue Laundry Premises.
 The case of Marvin H. Amesbury and his son Charles H. Amesbury, charged with murderously assaulting and robbing Sing Won, the Chinese laundryman whose shop is at F George street, was taken up by the Superior court, civil side, Judge Stoddard, yesterday morning, and occupied the court all day. The case will be finished probably before noon to day. The circumstances of the case are familiar to the readers of the pa pers It will be remembered that much ex- citement was created in the locality the night of January by the discovery that Sing Won's shop had been robbed and him self almost murdered, and that various indi- cations subsequently, threw such strong sus- picions on the Amesburys as the guilty par ties that they were arrested, charged with the crime. Their case comes to the Superior court by appeal from the City court. Ex- Judge Blydenburgh and c. w. Willett ap- peared as counsel for the accused. Miss Net tie Dyer, who was Amesbury's housekeeper, and often called his wife, sat beside the accused, whose wife lives over east near New London. State Attorney Doolittle had about twenty witnesses sworn, including policemen, newspaper reporters and a aeew Chinamen. Out of the number of China men present one was selected as interpreter and sworn as such He was Lee Ton. of New York. The other applicants for the place retired apparently not much cast down at their failure.
 Sing Won testified. He looked as if the memories of the night uf his assault still hung over him, rendering him nervous, uneasy and frightened. He testified that Marvin Ames- bury was his assailant. He just made out to recognize him by the aid of the electric light shining in the store. Amesbury and his son made their way ont through a side door which led to the stairway by which the eel lar was reached Sing Won also testified that while the father assaulted him the son broke open the trunk and took $200 in money.
 In order that the jury might get an idea of the premises where the assault took place, and especially as to how young tAmesbury got into witness room, the court and jury and lawyers went down to George street in a body and looked over Che premises. Quite a crowd was attracted by the unusual occur renee to the scene
 Judge BlydenbuIgh's cross examination of the Chiuamsn seemed to establish the fact that the witness had had row with some brother China,nen few nights before the as sault in question.
 Officer F. D. Geek testified as to his ser vices rendered, his responding to call of killee kiliee! robbeel robbee! and finding Sing Won in deplorable state covered with blood Officers Nichols, Stormont and oth- CTS testified. The case will be resumed this morning.

Complimentarr Words.

George E. Martin of St. Louis, graduate of Yale '72 and Theological seminary '79, and at one time organist at the Third Congrega- tional church of this city, is spoken of quite highly by the Springfield, Mo, Herald, in an article referring to the last lecture of the Drury college course in that place, which was delivered by the Rev. MT. Martin. He is the son of George H. Martin, of Norwich, Ct. The Herald says: 'The speaker was in action and voice the nearest an orator that has yet spoken, and his lecture was highly appre- ciated. He portrayed vividly the trial and execution of Joan of Arc. The description of her death was of such power as is seldom seen and it's effect on the audience was proof of the interest,""

THE CALTFORNIA MILLIONAIRE

How The California Papers Discredit
 The Story of MT. Woodruff.
 Below is an extract from the San Francis co Chronicle of April 7th .Afterrehea1sing the golden stories of wealth given out in New Ha- ven by MT. Woodruff of Oakland, Cal, and the golden promises made here to friends the paper says: - ,
 A reporter of the Chronicle called on number of old Californians yesterday who well acquainted with all the mining men the coast for the last fifteen twenty years William Duncan, Howard Coitt, Eyre and Jones, J. Peckham, M. Schmidt and others ransacked their memories, but failed to call the name of Woodruff to remember the brilliant financiering of which he boasted. They all regard the man as an impostor, who has fabri- cated his magnificent tale of wealth for the purpose of imposing on his relatives. John Coleman, who was the business partner of Jim Keene for many years, made retrospect of the bonanza days, but could not remember any Woodruff. His clerk, J. Russell who was years ago employed by Keene. also had never heard of the eudomillonaire. MT. Coleman has lived in Oakland for eighteen years and never heard of Woodruff as owning any land or doing business in that place.

THE ANNUAL OF THE H. H. s. ASSOCIATION.
 The fifth annual reunion of the H. H. S.. Alumni association was held in the High School hall last evening. The president of the association extended hearty welcome to all who were present. The minutes of the last meeting were read by MT. Fox. Profes- sor William I. Knapp, of Yale college, then gave a lecture on ''Spain, Past and Present. !" It is a common thing for people to think and speak of those old lands of history in a sighting way. Spain contains evidence of & great people. One must see the solemn les sons which her history teaches in order to know why her people are so solemn and si- lent. About 1900 B. c. Spain was the FL dorado of the world. Almost all the metals of that time came from Tarshish. Prof. Knapp then gave short account of the invasions of Spain by the Canaanites, Greeks, French and Romans and the Swa- bian, Gothic and Vandalism people who set tied there. Under Ferdinand and Isabella Spain was united, but not homogeneously. The Spaniards at present are not so bad as they are represented. They wear sashes around the body and knives in belts, but these knives mean nothing more than that they carry bread with them and need the knives to cut it. They are cordial from their standpoint. Mir. Knapp gave some of country, which were very interesting.
 After the address the treasurer's report was read showing balance of cash on hand Of $47-S6. MT. Fox read the secretarys re- | port upon ths state of the association and school. Two graduates have died during the 1 last year. Miss Woodward, 8 teacher in the l school, left and went to the Normal school in | New Britain in September 1884 A special | course of instruction in English for the | fourth class has been established and the | laily marking system abolished The work | D the school is vigorous and progressive.

SLEEPING CARS IN FRANCE.-Sleeping
cars are now run on all lines out CT Paris
except to London. The sleepers are small
err than Pullman cars. The cabins are all
on one side of the car; on the other is an
aisle running the entire length Of the
coach, with wide windows, close to
which are fixed stools for the bene-
ct of travellers. The beds are rather mar
row, but the mattresses are good, the COW
ering clean and plentiful. Instead Of re-
posing with your feet toward the engine,
you travel sideways. The cabius are lined
with maple and oak, and the door may be
locked on the inside. The roof of your lit
tie room is of canvas, painted a sky blue,
with birds in red and black flying around
among deecy clouds Of gray. The bed
blankets are red so, too, are the window
curtains, and if the lamp shines two bright
ly there is red hood which you can draw
over it, The prices for berths are about
double what they are in this country.
