 Times have been picking up the last week or two at the Pratt & Whitney foun. through the week, where hours with about three days in the week, was the general average.
 A man named Barlow, was either choked to death or died of heart disease, Monday evening. The doctor found large piece of meat in his mouth. The family had only just moved into the tenement, having been ordered out from their former resi- dence. Misfortune seems to have followed them for years, and sad to say, alcohol has much to to with it.
 The entertainment given by the ladies of the Land League at Harbison's hall, Wed nesday evening, was gratifying success, and a nice little sum was netted to strengthen the hands and encourage the hearts of "the men in the gap" Although the hall and galleries were we'll filled, many of the old members of the league in it's palmy days were conspicuous by their ab- sense. However, those of the old crowd present came together and temperately drank to the ultimate success of ''Parnell and the cause of old motherland."
 Last Sunday noon the class in Good Citi- zenship at Unity church was asked, is it right to charge government higher price than it would charge another purchaser? There was 8 general negative reply. The pastor said, as the money of the govern ment belonged to the people collectively, was it right for it to pay as much for eight hours labor (being the time fixed by it as days work, as would be charged for ten hours to a private employer? There was some diversity of opinion, but it was gener- orally held by the class to be right, as eight hours were all that should be exacted by any employer, and the government was justified in setting the example. The pas tor remarked that if days work was linn ited to eight hours, or even less, then there would be no enforced idleness as now; there would be work for all, and more than all. This would produces @ competition for labor CTS in the labor market, increase the rate of wages, and make rise in the price of products necessary, but would at the same time enable more consumers to purchase, and thus bring about an era of general prosperity. The subjects of double taxa tion and how to prevent cheating the asses sors were also discussed.
 The trouble at Unity church last sabbath which has been so greatly magnifed, when simmered down to bare facts, ammounted to but little after all. It seems that the pastor, Mir. Kimball at the close of the morning services, gave notice that he would hold services in the evening, at which, MT. Spettague, an English gentle man, would be invited to give an account of the doings and principles of the Salvation Army in England, aud it was advertised that he would do so. This had been ob- jected to by the Executive Committee; but as the const stitution of the society gives the pastor full control of all it's religious ser vices, he felt that the, committee had no right to interfere. At the appointed hour the congregation assembled, but the doors were locked. The president of the society, Mir. w. k. Dickenson, asked by whose au- thority the doors were closed. He was told that it was by the committee. Having key he unlocked the door, but found the gas shut off. This fact, rendering it inn possible to proceed, was quietly announced by the pastor to the people outside; who as quietly dispersed. There was no contest, nor high words, though there was gen eral feeling of suppressed indignation. The committee, it seems, are gentlemen of leisure," or of wealth, and their oppo- sition to the pastor seems to arise from his not being sufficiently exclusive" he vel coming to the church the laboring men as cordially as the millionaire. The invita- tion to the Salvation Army, and many other allegations promulgated, were mere embellishments, gotten up for sensation, and originating probably in the prolific imagination of the committee, as the pastor saysghe had not dream e1 of asking the Saliva tion Army 70 the church to hold services MT. Kin bal is warmly sustained by nearly the whole of the Unitarian society.
 AT THE CAPITOL.
 Chief Clerk Hinman of the Secretary of States office, has been accused of immoral practices with a little girl of five or six years of age. He denies of course, and says something about blackmail. Money seems to be the uppermost thought in the mind of the placeman. Prosecuting attorney Coogan failed to take action, on account o1 the youth of the child, bearing on the matter of giving testimony.
 A secret ballot bill introduced by Repre- sentative Kehoe of New Britain was the cause of little breeze in the House or Thursday. Coming back from the Senate referred to the Juduciary Committee MT Kehoe moved that it go to the Committee on Labor instead. Messrs Hoyt of Green wich and Lee of Meriden, advocated ad- herance 10 Senate resolution, claiming that there were known friends of labor or the Judiciary Committee who would secure proper recognition for the bill. MT Kehoe said that that was on open question. In tht meantime a note from the Speakers desl quietly handed to M. Hoyt, caused tha gentleman to withdraw his resolution O concurment with the Senate, and refe the bill to the Committee on Labor. Messr Kehoe and Phelan were appointed com mittee of conference.
