Asserts His InnOcence,

George F. Joachinson, son of 4. a
Joachinson of New Haven, was formerl,
a naval apprentice on the United States
training ship New Hampshire. Last
summer he was court-martialed on the
charge of theft and dismissed from the
service. 1t is claimed that the young
man was tried without friends or ad-
visers, that he was not proven guilty
and that he is the victim of persecution
Powerful friends have interested them
selves in his behalf and the case will
probably be reopened. Secretary of the
Navy Tracy, at the instance of Senator
Platt and Congressman Wilcox has
called for all records in the case.

Dollars Of DIfferNnce.

In December of 1891. two young boys
Albert and Osnim Atkins, were drown
ed in Middletown. Their parents were
both dead and the boys were heirs to
property valued at about 100000. The
boys were skating when the younger
one broke through the ice. and the older
one seeking to rescue him, also fell INTO
the water and both were drowned. Ii
became important, on account of the
property to ascertain which died first
The courts have decided on circumstan-
tial evidence, that the younger died first
and that the older one therefore inherit
ed his property. AS a result, $50, 900
will go to Thomas j. Atkins. Il paternal
uncle of the boy, and $4,000 to Frank

MILITARY MATTERS,
Looking About for a Successor

LOOKING ABOUT Tor Successor to
Major Wclles.
The election Of Il ma or to succeed
Major NtlleS Is the most interesting
subject of debate among the members of
the Second regiment The election will
take place at the New Haven armorv
next Monday afternoon. Among the
candidates are Captain Perrin of Mid
dlrtown. Captain Burpee of Waterbury
and eA-CNptain Callahan of the Sars-
fields. As Jar as can he learned, saws
the New Haven \ AVS. Perrin is out of
the race. He is very unpopular in the
regiment. and has done work to secure
his election which is not considered in
good taste in military affairs. OF the
remaining candidates Captain Burpee is
an efficient officer, but it is thought
that Waterbury has sufficient recogni-
ton in having the colonel. adjutant and
MISUNDERSTANDING all residents
there. This nalrows the strife down to
the eN-captain of the Sarsfields. Mr.
Callahan would accept the honor. and
there is no man who could better fill
the place than he.
Col w. j. Leavenworth of the Second
regiment. who has been in the National
guard service nearly twenty years.
says
Il am opposed to the renting of state
than military.
POSSIBLY it cannot be shown that the
renting of them has been greatly detri-
mental to discipline thus far. but any
officer of experience knows that such
renting is to Il certain extent dOmoral-
ling. and increases the difficulty of
securing complete and enthusiastic SER
vice from the men.
AS the matter now stands, any per-
son by the payment OF money can hire a
state armory with the arms and NUM-
tions therein. and can then place it in
possession of any organization, no mat
ter how socialistic or hostile to the peace
and good order of the state it may be
''Why not run the same risk of plac-
ing your fire and police department in
the power of an organized band of in
cehdiarics | do not hesitate to say that
state armories ought not to be out of
