Owing to the universal satisfaction ou1
teas and coffees are giving we have decided
to give an extra inducement to purchasers
every day this week to more fully introduce
them to the public. We intend to fight it
out on this line: First, know what we are
buying; second, buy them for cash (no credit
like it); third, to sell for cash the best goods
at lowest prices; fourth, to allow no false
representations; fifth, giving a guarantee
that the goods will be satisfactory or return
the money. Centennial ANA. Tea company,

harness and carriage that were stolen from

cas-, resident of Fair Haven. Lucas is an
egg dealer and he has been in the habit of
hiring horses of Robinson to go out on the
road buying eggs. One week ago Friday he
hired conveyance as usual and left the city.
He drove as far as Mt. Carmel where he sold
the horse to butcher named Ives for note
that Ives held against him and $40 in money.
It was sold with the understanding that
Ives should return the wagon and harness to
Lucas home in Fair Haven. Mr.. Robinson
has recovered his turnout, but the wherea-
bouts of Lucas is mystery although efforts
have been begun to find him. He is charged
with stealing by Mr.. Robinson and also OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses by Mr.
Ives.

the affair, was arrested for breach of the
peace against Robinson. Ehrler belongs to
the class of hackmen known as

five dollars. Judge Studley will try to I'M
ravel the truth Of the matter in the City

OBITU AR
Death of Luther G. Tillot,

Death of Luther G. Tillotson.
Luther G. Tillotson, who died in New
York city on Saturday morning, was well
known in business circles in this city He
was partner of General E. S. Greeley fol-
nearly twenty years, the house being known
as L. G. Tillotson & Co.
The New York Times of yesterday pub.
fishes the following brief extract of his life:
LUTHER G. TILLoTsoN.
Luther G. Tillotson, prominent mer-
chant, died in his residence, No. 10 East
Forty-ninth street, at $50 yesterday morn
ing. He was born at Ithaca, N. Y, March
1, 1884, and received there an English edu-
cation. When about fifteen years old he
went West with his father, the late Daniel
T. Tillo;son, a constructor of telegraph
lines, where he learned telegraphy. After a
year he returned East and entered the tele
graph service of the Erie Railway company,
of which, when 10 years old, he became
superintendent. In this position he re-
manned several years, adding to his duties
those of a division superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph company. Early
in 1862 he began business in this city as a
merchant in railway and telegraph supplies.
The house was known as Tillotson & Co.
On Nov. 1, 1865, Mr.. Tillotson, with Gen
eral E. S. Greeley, founded the present house
of L. G. Tillotson & Co. During the past
twenty years Mr.. Tillotson has been asso-
ciated with all the most eminent men in rail-
way and telegraph construction. His opin-
ions were almost universally sought in enter
prises of this character, and his cooperation
very frequently solicited with off rs of posi-
tions of trust and honor which he generally
declined because they would distract his at
tention from his main object-a successful
mercantile career.
In December, 1857 he married Miss Emma A
CLAIM a cyranddanphfar Of William TT inL
ney. The only child of this marriage died in
infancy. Mr.. Tillotson leaves, among other
surviving relatives, his wife and mother. He
was a vestryman of theChurch of the Heaven
ly Rest, where the funeral services will be
held at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning.

A GREAT RELIGIOUS WORK.

Large Additions To The Member
ship Of Trinity M. e. Church.
Over Three Hundred I'm Nine
Months.
Yesterday was a notable one in Trinity M.
E, church. The services in the morning
were entirely occupied in the reception of
new members, the administration of the rite
of baptism and the holy communion. The
exercises were of most interesting charac-
ter from the fact that one hundred and fifty
four new members united with the church,
twenty-five of whom were received by letter
from churches of this and other denomina-
tions, including Congregational, Baptist and
Episcopal, while the remainder were re-
ceived on profession of faith, the fruits of
the present religious interest which has been
prevailing at this church for the past
month. The space about the altar was
crowded with the candidates for admission
among whom were many entire families,
and by far the larger part being adults. The
rite of baptism was administered to fifty four
of the number received, and the entire ex-
ercises We're of a most impressive and in
teresting character. Since the beginning of
Rev. Dr. Peck's pastorate with this church,
last April, three hundred and one have been
added to its membership, nearly two
thirds of this number being by
profession of faith. This is probably unpar
alleled in the history of any church in New
Haven. A noticeable fact in connection
with this large increase of membership is the
absence of all undue excitement. The extra
meetings have been conducted in manner
that would not cause the most fastidious in
regard to religious excitement to complain,
and this fact has been observed by members
of different denominations who have attend
ed the services. The extra meetings will be
continued every evening this week except
Saturday evening.
