 Three students were before the City court yesterday morning charged with breach of the peace toward Fred. Lotto, keeper of the Criterion restaurant on Chapel street, while Lotto was charged with a violation of city ordinance relating to discharging firearms within the city limits. The trouble grew out of slight disturbance in the Criterion res taurant on Sunday morning about o'clock. After hearing the evidence Judge Deming discharged one of the students, fined the two others $1 and costs and made Lotto's fine ST and costs. The students appealed.
 The case of Captain Nathan A.. Hull, charged with carrying passengers on his tug boat without having license so to do, was to have been heard before United States Commissioner Platt yesterday morning, but owing to the engagements of the commission CT in Fairfield county the case was postponed until next Saturday.

 William Hughes, the employe of the Derby railroad who is alleged to have stolen $100 watch and chain from Frederick Kirsch, shopmate, last week, was released on $2OO bond furnished by M. Cooney. His case was on the docket for trial yesterday morning, and Hughes was in court when it opened. When his case was called he was nowhere to be found. Attorney Daley said the ease'was States prison offense, and as he believed Huphes had skipped he moved that the bond be called. Attorney James l. Hayes said he thought Hughes had fled, but on be- half of MT. Cooney, the bondsman, he asked continuance of one day in order to bring in Hughes if he could be found. The judge granted the request.

DIED LIN TEXAS.

Followed to the Grave by His Fellow.
 Tewnsmen-AN Notable Funeral.
 A recent issue of the Cotulla (Texas) Ledger
 pays the appended tribute to a deceased
 townsman of high estimable character, whose
 was native of Ellsworth, Me-, and brother of MT. c. P. Jordan of the Hub clothing store, this city. The deceased went to Texas in his young manhood and his life had since been srent in the far South. The Ledger says:
 Died in Cotulla, Texas. on November 10th, 1886, at 3 o'clock pm, Capt. R. Jordan, aged 6s years. Oh, when the heart is full-when bitter thoughts The poor words of common courtesy
 Are such very mockery.
 ment was made that Capt. R. Jordan had breathed his last wave of grief swept over our entire com friends It will be remembered that he was accidentally shot on the 3d inst. and Captain Jordan or possessed that happy % combination of character that secured for him the love and re- and n with firmness and gentieness formed harmonious hood. Duty was the ruling element of his charac- ter, and % his @ superior judgment was s73e sa1ed tSe the req9irements @ of e1toe the golden nng ruIe. which was the chart of his actions Christian by in his daily walks of life Candid in his expressions and sincere in his professions he easily forgave the follies and indscretions of others, but duplicity and dishonesty were held by him unpardonable offenses. True and firm in his friendship charita- ble and humane in his actions, his influence was felt by all Affable courteous he attracted all whe came within the circle of his influence. Possessing a gentle dignity of manner happily blended with spirit of good humor. it was in the sanctity of home that the beauty of his character unfold ed. The people of La Salle county had just tie day previous to his being shot expressed their con fidence in him st the ballot box by eleeting him county treasurer, which speaks in thunder tones of the high esteem in which he was held. The remains were fol- lowed to the grave the 11th inst. by the largest procession ever witnessed in Cotulla- nearly the entire populace of the town aud neigh the once hospitable patriotic and noble citizen. Captain Jordan leaves a wife, two sons and daughter to mourn his untimely death, who have the sympathy and condolence of, not only the peo- pie of this immediate section but those throughout western Texas generally.

ON THE CAMPUS Examinations open To-Day-Y. M. o.
 A. Lecture Im Dwight Hall Last Eve-
 ning-Twenty Marks For Snow Ball.
 fng-Prlnceten To Have A Tobog-
 gan Slide.
 Recitations ended for all classes yesterday in the academic department. To-day exam nations begin and will continue until the 22d of this month.
 The first of the series of the lecture course in Dwight hall occurred last evening and was well attended by students of all depart ments. This Y. M. 0. A. lecture course is peculiar to Yale alone of all her sister col leges, and we'll maintains the mantle of re- ligioia that she has ever worn. The subject last evening was upon the s'Unshaken Con fidence in the Gospel" by the Rev. w. M. Taylor, D. D.
 In the concert given in Milford last night in aid of the Plymouth church Williams 'S9 took part.
 Snow balling has become so prevalent on the campus for the past few days that the faculty has determined to stop it by infict- ing penalty of twenty marks upon anyone caught in the act.
 The picture of the football eleven will not appear until after Christmas. Yan Phou Lee '87 gave an illustrated lec- ture last evening in the Asylum Hill Con- gregational chapel, Hartford, on "Chinese Manners and Customs" He appeared as usual, in all his lectures on the above sub ject, in Chinese costume.
 Princeton has probably at last found the best use she could put her ball ground to. She is going to have toboggan slide of for ty feet high and two hundred feet long. Since the Yale Field, to a Princeton mind, would be natural toboggan slide it must have taken students and faculty en masse long while to reduce the height of one of her mountains sufficiently to insure safety to pleasure seekers.
 An article appeared in the Yale News yes terday discussing the subject of a common dining hall at Yale to be in character like that of Memorial hall of Harvard.

PRESIDENT wATROUs.

Am old Rumor Revived-He Does Not Think of Resigning-Other RumOrs. The rumor in some of our exchanges that President Watrous of the Consolidated road is about to resign, or is contemplating re-
 signing his presidency of the road, is no news to Mr. Watrous. Such a rumor is started from some enterprising source about twice every month. MT. Watrous says he has no knowledge of any intention on his part to resign, either now or in the immedi- ate future. He had not found the position a bed of roses, by any means, and did not think the position, with it's man duties and cares, a thing to be greatly envied. Such a runor might have been started by stock speculators. But the Consolidated was not run for that class, but for the benefit of it's owners, and it had been managed acceptably to the public as a means of safe, speedy and cheap transportation. As to the chances of a union of the Consolidated and Bostsn & Albany President Watrous said there was no intention of any such union, and there had been no overtures of the kind from the Bos- ton & Albany The reduction of prices on the Consolidated road had been warmly ad- vocatedi by MT. Watrous. He had never op- posed it. Our road, continued MT. Watrous, is capable of doing more than it is now, and it is our intention to keep it progressing in the right direction.

ORDER OF TONTI.
A New Benefit Association Soon To Be Organfzed-&enerOus Provisions For Members.

New Benefit Association Soon To
 Be Organfzed-&enerOu Provisions
 For Members.
 A new lodge of the society known as the Order of Tonti will be organized in this city within week, which bids fair to be a very prosperous organization. pr. B. L. Lam bert has received his commissions as deputy supreme president and medical examiner of the new lodge, and is busily engaged in the necessary preparations for the organization. The new Daughters of Liberty hall in the COURIER building has been secured for the lodge headquarters, and from the large num- Der of charter members already enrolled, it is safe to assume that the lodge will start un- der most favorable auspices.
 This is an order in which member does not have to die to receive benefit; a frater- nal society that provides for it's members by paying benefit not exceeding twenty-five dollars per week during sickness, and one- half of the amount of certificate to those who may1become permanently disabled by reason of disease or accident, and finally the pay ment of the full amount of the certificate, not exceeding one thousand dollars, at the end of seven years, less the amount that may have been paid for sick benefits.
 The objects of the society are to unite to- gether all acceptable white men between the ages of eighteen and sixty years, of good moral character, steady habits, reputable calling, sound bodily health and who are competent to earn livelihood, in fraternal society of mutual aid and protection, and as an assistance to themselves and those de- pendent upon them, when overtaken by sick ness or accident and unable to follow their usual occupation.
 The formation of the order consists of su- preme and subordinate lodges, and is found A. O. U. w., A. L. of H., R. A. and O. HI. that pay benefits upon the assessment plan. There are no grand or State organizations, but all of it's subordinate lodges are under the direct control of the supreme lodge with headquarters at Philadelphia, Penn.
 The Order of Tonti was organized in the city of Philadelphia, Penn, and regularly incorporated according to the laws of Penn sylvania and instituted April 27, 1885. The lodge so soon to be organized in this city will be the first of the kind in this State, and it's generous and wholesome provisions will no doubt attract large membership. The small amount of $2 50 paid on each as- sessmsnt insures weekly benefit when sick or disabled of $25, $500 in case of total disa- bility and $1 ,000 at the end of seven years. The assessment, however, may be less with corresponding reduction in the amount re- ceivsd, this being left optional with the members as to which of the five classes they will come under at the time of making his application. The lowest amount is fifty cents on each assessment, $5 for weekly ben efits, $100 in case of total disability and $200 at the end of seven years.

NOfth H8Vems THE REGENT TRIBUTE TO MISS EUNICE A. LINS LEY-ANoTHER SURPRISE.

LEY-ANOTHER SURPRISE.
 NORTH HAVEN, Dec 13.-Reunions and surprise presents seem to be the order of the day here just now. On Thursday evening last Miss Eunice A. Linsley, who was former ly school teacher and for some years held a private school in her own house, was invited to the court room in Memorial hall where she found about one hundred and twenty five people present, mostly her former pupils with their husbands and wives. The evening was passed in very interesting, entertaining manner. Refreshments were served and toasts and speeches were given by the school mates of other days, which recalled many pleasant "reminiscences of the time they were Miss Linsley's pupils. Rev. MT. Reynolds ana Dea. o. B. Foote were called upon for re- marks and responded in happy manner. Rev. MT. Bryant of New Haven was present, and although only half pupil, but that his "better half, :" responded pleasantly to call for speech. Miss Annie Reynolds, one of the scholars, in a graceful, gifted way pre- sented Miss Linsley a package containing $135, gift from her former pupils present and absent.
 On Friday evening the Sunday school class of young men of the Congregational
 church of which J. w. Futile is teacher, met
 at the house of E. L. Linsley and prepared a
 surprise for their teacher, who was attending
 the teachers meeting in the lecture room.
 After the meeting was closed MT. Futile was
 invited to Linsley's hall, where the class
 with their wives and lady friends numbering
 twenty-four were in waiting, and all sat
 down to feast of oysters and many other
 good things thought necessary for happy
 time. At the close of the supper speeches
 were in order and R. O. Eaton, master of
 ceremonies, introduced E. L. Linsley, the
 class historian, who made happy, eloquent
 speech, touching upon scenes of other days
 and finally remarked upon the fact that
 their teacher had seen twenty-five years of welded life and presented him with an ele- gant clock, which is so arranged as to need winding only once in fifteen days or twice in a month. Two members of the class were appointed to purchase the clock in New York and went there for that purpose. The teacher replied to the remarks of MT. Linsley, after which every member of the class responded to call for a speech or toast. Four of the class were obliged to be absent, but those present feel that another link has been formed in the chain of pleasant memories which are known only to this class.
 The next lecture in the Bradley library course is to be given in Memorial hall on the evening of January 6, 1887, by Judge Dem- ing, of New Haven.

How People Are Humbugged.

Housekeepers cannot afford to use impure salt. Most of the salt in the market to-day contains chloride of magnesium, magnesia, clay, ,and ether insoluble matter which tends to retard digestion, thereby producing serious disorder of the stomach Saltine is pure salt absolutely free from all adulteration,
 manufactured under special contract for the Saltine Co., of New Haven, Conn.,, and put up in convenient form for household use.
 Ask your grocer for Saltine and take noth- ing else; only five cents for large pack
