Preparing the Second Regiment for
Street Riot Duty.
Says the New Haven Palladium: Of
ficers of the local battalion expect that
Colonel Doherty will unless a more elab-
crate plan is adopted, soon issue Or
ders that the companies turn out togeth-
er as a battalion under command of
Lieutenant Colonel Lee instead of separ-
ately, for the spring parade this year.
1t is an open secret also that Colonel
Doherty has hopes to gather the whole
Second regiment here at that time. To
do this he must obtain permission from
the adjutant general and also secure an
allowance to pay for transportation. He
is now corresponding with the adjutant
general on the subject. II he receives
the necessary permission, he will un-
doubleday mobilize the regiment in New
Haven and the day will be devoted to
practical military work. One important
feature will be a street riot drill, in
which the whole regiment will take
part.

Business Transacted at Last Nights
Meeting OF the Boards.
At the meeting of the road and sewer
boards, held last evening, the latter
board voted to give hearing May IA, on
the matter of extending the Washing
ton street sewer.
Griggs brothers, the owners of the old
Universalist chapel on Grand street,
were given hearing on the matter of a
sewer assessment. When the sewer was
built the church property was not as
sessed. City Attorney Terry is of the
opinion that an assessment can now be
collected, as the property is not used for
church purposes.
The pay roll of the street department
for last month amounted to 81, 225.2S.
A bill of S152.97 was presented by
James Sutton. There was one item of
sic for use of his team for three nights
since his street sweeping contract ex-
pired. Another item was $S0.55, the
percentage on the bills of February and
March deducted for poor service. The
other amounting to $60.4e was the con
tract price for April, until his contract
expired. The bill was ordered paid with
the exception of the item for $80.55.
The bill of the telephone company was
laid on the table.
A sidewalk was ordered laid on Har-
rison avenue from Leavenworth street

NAN; nus NATURE AND DE.r1N I

MAN; HIS NAIU NE AND OEST1N
Address Of Father Mulcahy Before
the Catholic Literary society.
Another interesting paper was read by
Rev j. A. Mulcahy before the Young
Mems Catholic Literary association last
evening, upon the above subject. He
said
ITO the questions Who art thou ?
What is the law Of thy being? What is
the purpose of thy creation? There are
three different solutions given. viz The
pantheistic, the materialistic and the
christian. The pantheistic says man is
God because he is the highest manifest
alton of the divinity. This theory which
was in existence at the coming of Christ
has appeared again in this century but it
cannot bestow upon its apostles the
peace which they have sought. Mater
ialism says man is the product of matter
aud tends to lower him to the level Of
the brute creation. The definition Of
man given by the christian religion is
the true one. Man is a reasonable being
composed Of a body and of soul made
to the image and likeness of God. The
phenomena manifested in man are inn
mense and varied.
ut is by the aid of his intelligence
that man studies mathematics and
geometry, and pursues his calculations
almost to the borders of the infinite. 1t
is by the aid Of this reasoning power
that the physician, the chemist, the
geologist decomposs and analyze mat
ter, liberate its forces and determine its
laws. 1t is by its aid the astronomel
measures the heavens, discovers the
stars and describes their revolutions"

A CLEVER HORSE THIEF.

DR. jacques of Manchester Has a
Horse Stolen From n Freight Car.
A very clever and daring theft of
horse from a freight car was made in
South Vernon, Vt, last week. DIR
Jacques of Manchester, uncle of Mana
ger Jean Jacques, purchased fine
blooded mare in st Adams and shipped
her to F. H. Sedgwick of the Hartford
Cab company. DR. Jacques says he
noticed a man hanging around at the
time the horse was placed in the car.
The man concealed himself in the car
with the horse, and when the car was
side-tracked at South Vernon waiting to
be transferred to the Connecticut River
road he took the mare from the car. The
loss Of the horse was soon noticed, and
kilograms were sent in all directions by
the railroad company. A reward of $50
was offered by DIR Jacques and another
of $50 by the company. This caused a
pretty close watch to be kept, and the
result was that Sheriff Pike caught the
thief in Bennington, vt. He had failed
in his attempts to sell the mare.
The chap gave the name of Daniel Nc
Holen, and claimed to be from New
York. The sheriff as we'll as the railroad
people believe he is one of gang, and
that the brains that were put into the
trick were furnished by some pal not yet
discovered. He was very close mouthed
about the entire transaction, only giving
away what he was obliged to. 1t has
been learned that he offered the mare
for sale on the route, and had her put in
harness and shown, having offered her
for $3.50. The fellow will be made an
example of when his case comes up for
trial, as warning to his confederates.

NEW HAVEN, May 1.-The situation

would take the strikers back, but would
not concede their requests. He said
none of them earned less than $12 d
week, which was as high if not higher
than paid by any other concerns. Seven.
