Michael Arlington Arrested While
 Searching For His Wife.
 Michael Arlington was arrested by Officer King at 10:30 o'clock last night while prowling around another mans house on Bank street and refusing to leave the premises when so ordered. In court this morning Arlington claImed he was looking for his wife from whom he had been separated for some time and who, he had reason to believe, was in the house where he was arrested. Judge Bradstreet imposed a fine of 8 without costs.
 Martin Brophy, Bridge street boy, was charged with throwing stones at John Burke last Sunday. The lads mother claimed that she could prove an alibi for her son and the case was con- tinued until tomorrow.
 Edward Coyle, Edward Gaughan and William H. McCann hired a team from Liveryman Dwyer Monday noon to go to Southington and back. When they returned they left the horse in a good condition considering the drive he had. A short time after they returned, how ever, the horse was taken suddenly sick and died. The liveryman attempted to make the men pay for the animal but this they refused to do. Wilson H. Pierce, representing the Humane society had the men arrested. The case will be tried tomorrow morning.

They Cannot b@s Detained on Mere
 suspicion.
 The Hon J. N Tyner, assistant attor- ney general of the postoffice depart ment, has just rendered an important decision in relation to lottery letters. namely, that they cannot be refused de- livery except upon positive proof that their contents relate to lotteries. In the case in point batch of letters was received from foreign point all in the same handwriting, and the same style of envelope. One of these was opened by the person to whom it was addressed and found to contain the prospectus of several lotteries, including the Louis- jana. Such letters of the same sort as had not been delivered were thereupon held by the postmaster to await the ruling of the department. This ruling is as follows:
 ''It seems you have no evidence of the contents of the letters and that you as- sume that they contain matter rendered unmailable by the lottery act, because such matter was found to be inclosed in other envelopes oItwardly similar in all respects. My answer is that you cannot treat those sealed letters as unmailable upon the mere suspicion that they were sent in violation of the provisions of said act"

Thatcherss MinstreIe.
 There is no more popular form of en- tertainments to the average theatre goer, than first class refined minstrel show and in George Thatcher's minstrels, who appear at Jacques opera house, Wednes- day evening, 1t has been the aim of the management, to present performance of unequalled merit in the history of minstreIsy. The company is headed by the favorlte minstrel comedian George Thatcher, assisted by such well known fun makers as John Wild, Thomas Le Mack, Wood and Shepard, John A. Ple- man, Jay Quigley, George w. Lewis and Ed Marble. The vocal contingent is re- presented by such prominent soloists as R. J. Jose, Raymon Moore, H. w. Frill- man, Thomas Lewis, w. A. Patterson and Albert Evans.
 At the Casino.
 A better and more enjoyable enter tainment could not well be imagined than was furnished by Manager Pincus last evening. The exhibition of Till's marionettes was a great novelty and was well worth the price of admission, while the wonderful military act of the great Kissen kept all SD ,ll bound. Ravens and Earle did some great danc- ing to the tune of bag pipes. Bryant and Byrnes made all laugh with their comical musical act. Donovan and Albright are always good, so the people think. Miss Myrtle Arlington lent a charm to the entertainment with her graceful dancing. It is show that cannot fail to please all.
