A CRUEL REPORT.

No Truth In the story That Mrs. w.
H. Hotchk1ss IL Dying and In Desti-
tuition.
The report in New Haven Sunday
paper and in various New York papers
yesterday concerning Mrs. Hotchkiss, wife
of DR.. William H. Hotchkiss of this city,
stating that she was dying at Mt. Vernon
in poverty, is without foundation. We
learn from friends of the lady that the
cruel report is baseless, and that Mrs.
Hotchkiss was in the city few days ago
and visited friends here, making a short
stay and then left for the west. She was
in tolerably good health. She had been i'll
a few weeks ago in Mt. Vernon with fever
and ague, but had recovered. One New
York paper yesterday devoted three col
umns to the story Of her life and her mari
tai troubles coupled with the above base
less report. and states that her husband is
millionaire, and els the only child of the
late Benjamin B. Hotchkiss, whose gun
factories were established in almost every
civilized country of the world" ssMr.
Hotchkiss," the paper added, 'fdied in
Paris, leaving to his widow q fortune esti-
mated at $40, 900 ,00O." A single other
item in the same connection states that
cdr. Hotchkiss's father left him an allow
ance Of 500, 900 q year" The absurditv
of the story is patent to the New Haven
readers, and the above is only sample of
the wonderful Embellishments of the kind
the article in question contains.

PnovEssoR wAIr,s LECTURES.

The Prelin1inary Lecture OF \ Course
ofTwelve ON ssInvolution and Evo. /
1utiOnss Delivered Yesterday - A
Large Number PFesent-Succeedine
Lectures to be Delivered Trf-yVeekly
About one hundred and fifty persons,
the larger part Of whom were ladies, as
sembled in the Insurance building yester-
day afternoon at s O'Clock to hear Profess
sor s. F. Wait of Fort Edward, NewYork,
deliver the first of a course Of lectures on
'Involution and Evolution.e The special
subject of yesterdays address was. the
origion, nature and destiny of the soul"
It is the purpose of Professor Wait to de-
liver a course Of twelve lectures or 'sles-
sons' upon this subject provided certain
sum of money be raised sufficient to carry
the work on. The lectures win be de1iv-
cred tri-weekly on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and Sunday afternoons The
price of single tickets for the course
have been placed at So or ticket
admitting two SIS. The lecture yesterday
was simply of preliminary nature, stating
in brief the points that would be set forth
in the succeeding lectures. Professor
Wait is a clear and forcib1e speaker, who
handles his subject in concise and in
structive manner.
The speaker drew comparison between
the days Of creation described in the first
chapter of the book of Genesis and the
different epochs in the life of man as
shown in the history Of individuals and OF
nations. God as seed-sowing power was
| postulated as the antecedent and causation
! of all so-called natural evolution
Creation was shown to be not an
instant act, but continuous pro
cess; not the making of something
out of nothing, but a rearrangine
and re-combining Of materials already in
existence. Jesus, the Christ, was pointed
to as the typical man, the highest product
of involution and evolution, whose nature
and mission, rightly understood, solve ev
cry problem connected with the origin, ma
ture and destiny of the soul, making sci
ence religious, and religion scientific.
Owing to some misunderstanding tn,
room which had been engaged for the lee
ture was in use by another society, and il
consequence the lecture was delayed fol
over half an hour while the committee wa
endeavoring to secure a suitable hall else
where in the building. The Yale bushes
college rooms were finally secured. Tn
next lecture in the course will be given Of
Tuesday evening next in room 16, Insur
| ance building.

The Aged Builder Expires In His
Carriage.


The Aged Builder Expires In His
Carriage.
Stephen P. Perkins, the well known
builder, died in his carriage while driving
from his home in Woodbridge to this city
with his wife on Saturday afternoon. They
suddenly expired.
They were on their way to this city to
attend to some matters of business, and
before starting Mr.. Perkins seemed unusu-
ally bright and cheerful. Just before his
death he was chatting pleasantly with his
wife, and she, expecting some reply to a
question raised, looked around and saw
that he was dead. His death was due to
heart disease, and he had suffered from it
at different times for several years. He
was eighty-four years of age, and was born
in Woodbridge.
When boy he learned his trade with
Stephen B. Butler, the builder, and later
became senior member of the firm of Per
kins & Hine, then a member of the firm of
Perkins & Lum, afterwards of the firm of
Perkins, Treat & Chatfeld, and finally a
member of the firm of Perkins & Chatfield
He was one of the best known builders in
the state and was man Of irreproachable
character. He built among other structures
the Smith building on Chapel street, in
which Gilbert & Thompson are now locat-
ed, the Exchange building at the corner of
Church and Chapel streets, the Yale Art
school, the city hall, Alumni hall, Peabody
museum, the theological seminary, North
Sheffield hall, st. Johns block in Elm
street, the Sacred Heart church and the
old depot in Hartford. He also built the
Branford beacon and its predecessor, the
old beacon.
The firm either built or remodeled near
ly all the buildings from the Leffingwell
around to st. Thomas church ON Elm
street. Their work in the builders line
will stand as monuments to the memories
of both Perkins & Chatfeld, who have
passed away. After the big fire in New
York in 1885 Mr. Perkins took a number
of contracts in that city and erected several
buildings.
Mr.. Perkins will be sadly missed in
Woodbridge where he was very properly
recognized as one of the leading men OF
the town, which he has ably represented in
the legislature and elsewhere. His zeal
and energy in pushing any undertaking
etia1 Was Ior Ine SOOO OF the town was I'M
firing: Since he retired from active bust
ness in this city, 1878, he occupied his
beautiful home ON q commanding
location on the Woodbridge hills, since
which time he was prominent in leading
or assisting all the public improvements OF
the town. The church and surroundings
bear evidence of some of his work in this
direction. At one time he gave his atten-
ton to identifying the cemetery, and the
many Improvements that can be seen there
are evidences of his taste and good work.
Mr.. Perkins will be as much missed
socially as in other respects. His pleasant
words for people in various walks of life,
and his uniform politeness won for him q
genuine popularity that but very few per-
sons possess. In consequence Of his abil-
| ity and interest in the welfare of the town.
and his cordial and pleasant ways he was
very much esteemed and respected. He
leaves wife and one young son.

CHURCH MEETING.


Yesterdays Meeting Very Quiet and
Orderly-A Council to be Held OctO.
Der 2O-Committee Appointed to
Hear Grievances and to Arrange the
Details for Calling Said Council.
The church meeting of the First Congre-
gational church in Milford was held yes
terday Immediately after the morning
preaching service. The meeting was held
in accordance with the resolution adopted
at the previous meeting to the effect that
the manner of calling the council be de-
ferred until yesterdays meeting. There
was q large congregation present, but the
spirit of discord and dissension was only
conspicuous by its absence. The meeting
was most orderly and quiet one, very
much in contrast to the previous meetings
of the society The feeling in the church
seemed to be that the only thing to do was
to leave the entire matter to arbitration,
and to abide by the decision of the coun-
Gil about to be called, in every particular.
The meeting was again presided over by
Mr.. John G.. North as moderator. The
church committee recommended the hold
ing of q council on Monday, October 90,
and the recommendation being presented
in the form of a motion, it was adopted by
the church society, the vote standing 80
in favor to T. opposed. A committee of
four members Of the church was appointed
to meet with the regular church committee
on Wednesday evening next, October 1, to
agree about the details of holding said
council, and to perfect all the necessary
arrangements for same. All persons hav-
ing any grievances, real or fancied, were
invited to present them in writing to this
committee, 30 that they might arrange
them and present them before the council.
Remarks were made by various members
of the church, and the meeting adjourned
after being in session about three quarters
of an hour
