\ Correspondent in the antigua St0p-

case Of supposed obeah which goes ID
great way to support the opinion formed
bN Mr.. Froude in his new book, that

hand.in hand among the lower classes in

the Savings Bank. The Rector OF the
thurch communicated the matter to the
police. who at once set to work to recover
the money. Several weeks passed away,
and no money being found, the schOolmlS-
tress was advised by one OF the "ElderS OF
the Church" to employ an obeah practl-
toner. Both ladies are said to have been
important and leading members OF the
Brethren's Church, for whom the late
Bishop Westerly had entertained the
highest esteem and regard from their
Youthful days. The obeahman seems to
have done his best for the two ladies', as by
a sort of miracle, the correspondent says,
one half of the stolen money was safely
deposited in the school-mistresS' residence
after the engagements. The Rector OF the
Church. the Revd. Mr.. Clemens, on hear
inc of the matter, summoned the W par
ties to appear before him, but when the
day Of Investigation came the Rev. gen.
tleman was taken i'll, and his medical
advisers thought it necessary to urge an
immediate trip to Europe. Then came
the superstitious belief among the people,
especially of the lower orders, that the
obeahman had been playing false with
the ParSon. The obeahman had charged
seoen pounds. The schoolmistress paid
two pounds in advance, and on a dispute
ensuing for the balance, the whole thing
leaked out. A meeting of the Church
Council of that persuasion was held soon
after and both ladies were excommunlca-
ted. The correspondent expressed his
belief, in which we share, that the ooeah-
man was the thief !-D0minicGn.

THE nA1Lrwnnn ARREST.

Alleged SvvIndIing of the StOnfngton
 Bank-PrOeeedlnRs at the City Court
 The Case Continued 10 December
 15-The Case From the Standpoint
 or the Accused.
 Samuel Halliwel appeared before the City court yesterday forenoon to answer to the charge of embezzlement preferred against him by the Savings bank of Stonington. Later in the day another warrant was issued charging Halliwell with obtaining $2, 600 from the bank upon false pretensee. Upon motion of Attorney James Fl. Webb, counsel for the accused, continuance was granted until December 15.
 An official of the Stonington bank called upon Assistant City Attorney E. O. Dow late Monday afternoon and briefly stated that Halliwell, who had for several years been the confidential agent of the bank in this city, had appropriated 5000 of the banks funds on November 20, 1888, and If he was not arrested at once the statute of limitation would bar all prosecution as the five years allowed would be up Wednesday. 4 warrant was hastily drawn up and served, l, and Halliwell was released on $3, 900 bail furnished by his old friend Phi1ander Ferry. Yesterday morning the warrant for false pre- tenses was served as it was thought the other complaint might not prove broad enough to cover the case.
 The banks allegations in brief are: That Halliwell WAS the banks agent in April, 1882; that he represented to President Grant of the bank that one Sidney Raynor had 8 piece of land on Commerce worth $4,000; that Ray nor proposed to erect thereon four dwellings and that he wanted $10, 0,00o in order to do it. President Grant left the matter with Halli- well, and he, later, wrote saying that Ray nor was about to build and wanted $4, 900 to pay for lumber, etc. The money was sent and 8 note purporting to have been signed by Raynor was received by the bank. Sub- sequently, the bank asserts, Hslliwell wrote three letters stating that Raynor was progressing with the work and by these representations obtained other sums for which the bank received "Raynor's" notes. At last, says the bank, on November 29, 1883, Halliwell obtained 1000 and re- turned to the bank an instrument in writing purporting to be 8 mertage from "Raynor" to the bank of the Commerce street property with buildings thereon. The bank alleges that "RayDor" was person who had no ex- istence in fact and that no dwellings were ever erected on the land in question.
 MT. Hslliwell said yesterday that the mort gage was all right and that the bank had re- ceived its interest regularly. Attorney Webb stated that he did not understand why the bank had brought suit at this late day. Hal- liwelI, he said, had made mistake in allow ing Raynor to grab the money before he erected the houses, but there had been no dishonesty and MT. Halliwen had told the bank how the matter stood nearly five years ago and the bank had known the facts in the case all along. MT. Halliwell has stated to friends that he asks suspension of pub lick in the case until he can present his statement.

The Market opens Active and After a General Upward Movement Closes at Highest Figures

There was little more vim to the speculation in stocks at the opening this morning, though the
 first sales generally made at slight losses, and under some selling from Chicago, further slight de clines were established The market, however, showed sudden change in it's temper and became strong throughout. though New England was the only stock displaying any unusual strength. After the first demand supplied, the list sank into in- tense dullness but after noon there was a renewal of the upward movement and more animation was shown in ths dealings. The best prices were reach ed toward delivery hour, after which time there was some reaction, but the market finally closed
 firm to strong and quiet, generally at close to the highest prices of the day. Railroad bonds were again dull and devoid of feature of importance. The majority of the important changes in quota tions are in the direction of lower prices.

Yale in the Revolution ana In the Civil
 


 In the last number of the New Englander in an article on Yale in the Revolution, Will liam L. Kingsley remarks, no one can read the account of what WAS done in the Revolu- ton by the graduates of single college with oat being impressed anew with the fact that the young men who are graduated in the numerous colleges and universities that are scattered all over this land are soon to be the men of action who to exert marked in- huenee on their generation. In the civil war eight hundred and thirty-six Yale graduates were mustered into the Union army. More than forty more were in arms on the Confed- crate side. Probably these lists are far from being complete. It has been supposed that Yale sent more men into the army than any other college. It is to be hoped that the ex- ample of what was done by their predecessors of the revolutionary period may incite them to contend in generous rivalry on the broader field that is soon to open for them, that they may also excel in rendering service to their country in every field in which the exigen- eies of their time may require it.
