HE THREAINED HIS LIFE.

Last night two men came into the police
headquarters and asked for the arrest of Z
man named Gus Wolf, whom they said
was threatening the life OF John Nau.
The man was afterwards found by Officer
HAYNES and released upon his own recog-
nizance to appear at police court today
From their statement, it appears that Nau
Z had gone to Wolf to ask him pay for the
care of woman whom he (WolD had
injured. Angry words ensued: Wolf got a
gun and started out upon a cunning ex-
petition for Nau. He failed 20 find him,
but met the officer, who dissauded him
from any further progress In the expedi-
ton.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Modern Revival and Expansion
 Henry Clay TrumbuIT.

Modern Revival and EXPansfOm-
 Henry Clay TrumbulI.
 Rev. Henry Clay Trumbull resumed the course of Lyman Beecher lectures yesterday afternoon in the Marquand chapel, the sub ject beings "The Sunday school :; it's Modern Revival and Expansion" The contrast be- tween the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries is great one. The religious history of the eighteenth century is sad one for England and the continent and America as well. The primary cause as given by historians is open to challenge, for the fact that influences for evil are at work is no reason why the church of Christ fails. It is not the mission of the church to be at it's best always when the world is as it's worst. The great religious de- cline of the eighteenth century is conse. quent of the decline of the church schools, and the vast expanse of the nineteenth cen- tury is consequent of the revival of the Sunday school work. This was at first an individual movement, as all great works are, but from it have sprung the Bible societies. movements of the day. There can be no permanent result without reaching the chil dren. This, also, the great modern Sunday school movement in America shows. The Sunday school is not mere accessory, but it is an absolute necessity, and the American Sunday school as an institution has found foothold in foreign countries with the best results. The progress in America Of the Sunday school is no less marked than it's in crease of numbers. Dr. Trumbull gave a brief sketch of the advance in the work and of the growth in method and in numbers. The next lecture will be given this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

AUDITING BILLS.

 Chief Bollman Explains About an
 Unpaid BIIl and Thinks the Police
 Department Should Have Photo

 The board of finance had meeting last night. Bills were audited as follows: Road department, $11, 1,511.85; police department, $9, 415.56; fire department, $4, 452. 51; sum- dry accounts, $8,00987; health department, .$646.19; sewer fund, $78521; total, $54,- 821.19.
 At the last meeting of the board an objec- tion was made to paying bill of $25 put in by Chief Bollman. . It was for pictures taken of criminals. Chief Bollman appeared be- fore the board last night to explain the matt ter. He said that three men were arrested on suspicion of being burglars There was really no charge against them, but they were locked up as being vagrants until more could be found ssout about them. Their pictures were taken and were sent to other cities. The men were identified as professional bur glars, and in the court heIe some time ago they were sentenced to five years in State prison. The chief said that he had to use his own judgment in taking pictures of per- sons arrested There could be no rule to govern it. He further said that smaller police departments than New Haven had photographing establishment connected with them for this very purpose. The photo graphs of prisoners were taken when they were unaware of it. The chief thought it would be good idea for the New Haven police department to have such a concern connected with it.
 After the chiefs explanation the members of the board affixed their signatures to the bill. s'f'1

He had had plan pre- pared by Harry Austin which was at the commissioner service. It provides for a large hall on the second floor which would accommodate from 200 to 1, 400 persons. He thought it wise to provide the first floor for public library, as it was good place and in central location. The library of ! the Historical society could be incorporated in the public library. Quarters could also l be given to the society. He thought7if the | G. A. R. could be legally given quarters
 there it would be wise to do so. ....s Ex-Commissioner Coe stated the claim of | the G. A. R. to the use of the second floor | of the building, urging that in all fairness and legality the G. A. R. were entitled to 1t. In answer to questions MT. Coe thought 1 the first floor could be used for library, and I the G. A. R. using the second floor would be

A Startling Runaway on Ihe Avenue
 A Singular Circumstance Connected
 With Kt.
 Yesterday afternoon, while Whalley ave- nue was crowded with sleighiag turn-outs, a chestnut horse hitched to sleigh owned by an oyster dealer named Belcher, and driven by a friend, created sensation. As the team was being exercised up and. down the avenue the hoid-back strap broke and let the sleigh on 10 the horses heels. This was at Winthrop avenue, on the way down towards the city. The driver pulled the horse over on the south side of the avenue and under took to stop him, but, despite the drivers frantic efforts, the now thoroughly fright ened horse kept on his mad career until he reached University Place, when he took to the sidewalk and tried to knock tree down. The tree was the strongest and stood firmly. The man held the reins firmly and when the team struck the tree was thrown out, and man and reins were wound around the tree. The horse was thus brought to sharp stop and took tumble on the sidewalk In the meantime the curbstone brigade had sur rounded the animal and seized him. The man picked himself up, put the pieces to- gether and continued driving on the avenue.

 Considerable further enquiry was made yesterday by persons in this city who had been insured by MT. Meeorney in the Allot- ment company of New York, the enquiries being consequent'upon Mir. Mecorney's sud- den closing up of his office here and depart ure from the city. Friends of MT. Mecorney say that his conduct was upright and square, but that the company he represented had got into serious difficulty, as the following from
 a recent issue of the Springfield Republican
 indicates:
 A confused state of affairs exists in the
 office of the American Allotment association
 at Worcester, and several attachments have
 been made on their property. The Worces-
 ter office is g branch Of the home office at
 New York. The company was Teorganized
 under the laws of New York in 1886 with 8
 capital of $3,000. The purpose of the com-
 pany was to enable men to own their own
 houses by paying stated assessments of cer-
 tain rate on $1 ,000. A life insurance policy
 was also given, so if a subscriber died the property went to his family. It gave rose-
 hued prospect to many, and fully one-half of the subscribers of the association came from the Worcester agency. The subscribers awaited with impatience for their turn in a
 house of their own, till they gradually dis trusted the reliability of the concern, and finally brought action. One man chose an $8, 900 house. The company was to pay $3,- 500 down, and the rest was to be mortgaged. The man himself was to pay $6 month, and all above 5 per cent. of what the company advanced was to go toward redeeming the mortgage. He was to pay his first install
 ment of $200 and be placed in possession of | L. I..L
 the promised s3, 800 failed to appear and he ! finally put on an attachment. There is l trouble in the ranks of the company itself ! and the Worcester agent, John P. Leary, says he has left the concern. An investiga | ton shows that they own very little prop. erty in the city, and what they have is mort gagged. The financial backing which they ! apparently had, and by which many subscri bers had been allured, has been found to | have very weak back. The report haE been made and denied that receiver would be appointed. L. J. Warren, the sub-agent has received a dispatch from G. P. Stewart of the New York office stating that the re l ceiver story is all nonsense and that he will ! be ca hand to-day.

Family Row.
 It leaks out that Boston's Ancient and Honorable artillerists (who gave so brilliant a promenade in this city few years ago) had a high old TOW at their meeting on Monday night over the question of expenses for en- tertaining the Honorable artillery of London in May next. It is likely to result ill the withdrawal from membership of consider able number of the members. The Hartford Times summing up the matter says: The committees report, including the plans for five days junketing the Englishmen to Washington, Gettysburg and West Point, was tabled by majority of about thirty-fve votes. The committee promptly resigned and consequently all it's 1abors in preparing for the celebration are wasted A bill of expenses remains to be paid or repudiated. Last year when the corps visited England it's members footed their own bills, some of them paying as much as $1 ,50O in dining English men, and now they think the proposed jun keting of the visiting Englishmen should be paid for individually by the members of the committee. Next June the corps celebrates it's 250th anniversary, when a good many resignations may take place.
