MOVING EASTWARD.

The Change to be Made by Howe &
 Stetson to the Wilcox Store-The
 Large Increase of the City's Popu-
 lation East of State Street.
 Yesterday the New Haven dry goods lease and fixtures of the Wilcox & Co. store on Chapel street and will occupy it for their business by June 1 next, if not sooner. The lease of their present prem ises expires June 1. MT. Howe, of the firm, said last evening that the papers for the purchase were signed yesterday noon. The lease bought is the unexpired lease of Wilcox & Co.,, and holds good for about two years. The price paid is not named. MT. Howe was unable to state but little further regarding future plans, the firm having had no time to consider the matter, having been extremely busy every moment with a rushing business at the store, yes terday's weather being so fine for shopping and bringing out the ladies in great num- bers. The Wilcox store will, however, be handsomely improved.
 Several prominent gentlemen were speak ing last evening of the city's big growth oaSuWarQ ln the laSU lew years eiuo IoihdrA- ed that Chapel streets mercantile business was certainly extending eastward as well as westward and at rapid rate There is the big firm of Howe & Stetson locating further east. There is the notable pur- chase by General George H. Ford of the Simpson block and the elegant improve ments which he is to make upon the build ing's store fronts and on the State street side as well, There is the big dry goods firm of Monson & Carpenter, whose busi- ness continues to grow and enlarge and who as soon as they can obtain suitable temporary location will move out of the present building, in the place of which an elegant new building will be erected. These indications emphasize the fact of the city's big growth to the eastward in the last ten or fifteen years. Look at the great increase of population in Fair Haven, between the two rivers, in that period. Look at it's big growth in the last year-everywhere new houses and blocks erected and more in process of erection. Look at the new parks in the eastern section-the one on Water street near the yacht club house, the one on East Chapel street near the Yale boat house. and those in the annex on the former "East Haven shore" of the harbor. The city is growing, and it is growing eastward and it is growing west ward. Ours is a growing city.

NEWS FROM THE VALLEY.

Flaherty and Grifen Bound over for
 the Superior Court-MOre Trouble
 at the Birmingham Dam-A Wash
 out on the Extension.
 BIRMINGHAM, March 10.-The court room was filled to-day to it's fullest capacity at the re-opening of the Flaherty and Grffen manslaughter hearing, before Judge Net tleton. The conclusion was reached about 4 o'clock when the judge found probable cause in the case of both men and bound them over for the April term of the supe- rior court.
 The rain storm of Monday was one of the severest of the season and came at the most unfortunate time for the work which is going on up at the new coffer dam. The water this morning rose to such a height that the engineer, D. s. Brinsmade, becom- ing alarmed, with gang of workmen inn mediately began to take measures toward strengthening the structure with cables and bracing it as far as possible against the heavy stones already sunk there.
 But the work was of no avail, and about 1O:3O o'clock this morning the center of oAAo oACSolo, "ulCu udu SlOWly Ucub OuI- ward. gave away, the strong piles break ing like pipestems, and about sixty feet of the centre went down with a crash, the piles floating down with the rapid current, while the railroad track, which had crown ed the structure, broke at the west end and swung at nearly right angles with the dam.
 This was about all the damage done, and the work of reconstruction will be begun immediately.
 A washout on the extension road occur red, due also to the same storm. The trouble was at the culvert near the old red house, just above Shelton. Superin- tendent Ho9gson was out all day with gang of men repairing the injury, and had 1t completed by about o'clock this after- noon,

What He Has to Say About the New
 Haven Team for This Season-A
 Prosperous Season Assured-A New
 Pitcher and Two Outf1elders to be
 Signed.
 Manager Burnham was seen last night by COURIER reporter and stated that he had just mailed contracts to Pettee and Cudworth, and expected to receive the signatures of these players to same by re- turn mail He said further that another strong pitcher would be secured at once to assist Horner and Gilliland in the pitch ing department. While it has not as yet been definitely decided who will play in right and left field this season, at the present time he had applications from twenty felders under consideration and the men would be selected from among them. Contracts will be rendered to Hor- ner, Lang and Doyle within the next few days, and he thought that all these players would undoubtedly be members of the team this season. Manager Burnham still further stated that it was in accordance with his advice that President St. John of the Yale team had cancelled their dates with Barnie's Baltimore club. This step was necessary owing to the war between the American association and the clubs under the national agreement, in conse- quence of which the latter clubs are pre- hibited from playing with clubs of the American association or any college or other team playing with said clubs
 A new departure at the grounds this season, he said, would be the printing of the score cards on the grounds, thus in- suring an absolutely correct card. The season he said, in conclusion, for the h. ternstional league would be most excel lent one and the New Haven team would be one of which the citizens might be justly proud

To Certain Evidence Being Given by
 the Officers of the First Regiment In
 the Graham Hearing.
 HARTFORD, March 10.-[Specia1]. The General Graham hearing before the senate committee was resumed to-day. The sen ate chamber was crowded with officers of the brigade and interesting evidence was looked for, but failed to materialize. At torney Cole, who appeared for the present adjutant general, called General Graham to the stand and by way of rebuttal kept the witness busy for nearly two hours an- swering questions relative to the duties of an officer of the National guard. General Graham in substance testified that the cus- tom had been for all troubles arising in the brigade to be settled from the adjutant generals office and not by the brigadier general, as the code pro vides, and that consequently he did not act in the matter of the resignations of the officers of the First regiment, but left 1t for the adjutant generals to decide. He further testified that he did not uphold any insubordination on the part of these officers, nor had he ever heard officially that they resigned because the armory had been rented for other than military pur- poses.
 Attorney Cole also cross examined Ad- jutant General Barbour and several off cers of the First regiment for the purpose of showing that they had combined to- gether to resign from the state militia, and were thus guilty, of insubordination, of which General Graham was aware at the time the resigp&tions were handed in and was thus also gully of ;ipspbordina' tlon. MT. Cole, however, was not very successful, as the above facts were denied | by those examined, and Attorney Hyde for General Graham constantly objected to ter of the First regiment troubles was all to be gone over in the superior court, and that it was immaterial at this time. The committee will probably not report in the matter for day or two.

A CHANGE OF TIME.
The Fair Haven and Westville Road
 to Adopt a New Schedule.

to Adopt a New Schedule.
 For the past few months the Fair Haven and Westyille horse railroad com- pany have been giving the matter of run ming their cars every five minutes on ten minutes schedule thorough test. It has been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that it is impossible. Owing to the fact that large portion of the road is single tracked only, necessitating number of switches and turn outs, more or less de- lay is bound to occur and in consequence too rapid rate has to be made in some
 portions to even up the time. An al
 teration in the time table, which, while
 not reducing the number of cars, will make little difference in the running
 time, will be adopted and doubtless be found more agreeable and advantageous to all concerned. A meeting of the directors of the road was held yesterday afternoon
 and the following was given as the reasons for the adoption of new time table: "The change of time has been decided upon ow- ing to the delay at switches and which can be obviated as soon as certain portions of the road are double tracked, permission to uO Wu1Cu Aa6 UoCA t15hC4 4O1 oISA 1S AAS |"

Offered.
 Owing to the proposed change in busi- ness by General George H. Ford and the interruption which will occur in the alter ations of the building recently purchased by him, he finds it desirable to reduce stock and dispose of some of the large and important pieces that occupy space, and in consequence it has been decided to make very important reduction price in all the stock of this character. Many of the large and expensive things that have been selected in Europe with great care and many odd lots will be made leading features of the sale and offered at half the cost of importation. "It is not our GUS tom," said General Ford last evening: Ito be constantly offering so-called bargains. Our prices are always marked in plain figures, and when reduction is an- neunced it is an important one and worthy of due consideration. This is an opportu nifty that rarely occurs to obtain articles of the character named at the prices at which they will be offered for the next few weeks"

MATHEMATICS AND TACTICS.

Lieutenant TOtten Lectures Last
 Evening-A Most Interesting Sub-
 ject.
 A large audience gathered last evening to hear Lieutenant Totten speak on "Napoleon's Solution of the Pons Asin- orum." The lecture was on the western and was treated at some length last year in Frank Leslie's magazine and the regular Yale course. It dealt with the causes of the Franco-Prussian war, merging into the causes still existent of prospective repe- tition of it. Lieutenant Totten first took up the problem known as the "Pons Asinorum" and described it's antiquity being known, he said, long before Pythagoras and being found in the Great Pyramid-and it's applica- tion to the bridge He then showed it's application to the map of European powers, dividing the history of Europe, dating from the fall of the first Napoleonic dynasty, into four periods, ending with the present European diplo- matic status. The problem was appro- priately fitted to the geography of Europe when Louis Napoleon came to the throne The four maps, corresponding to the four periods, were successively dissolved into four mathematical diagrams, starting with the right angled triangle of powers, France, Austria and Prussia, of which the former made the hypothenuse or balance of power, Italy being then non est; and ending with the present quadrilateral of western nations. The lecture was divided into two parts, the first being devoted to the political phases leading to the war; the second half was a brief summary of the military features of it's opening campaign, which ended at Sedan. He contrasted the policy of Bismarck and of Napoleon IT., showing that the primary cause of the war was the latter's Italian policy and the dis aster at Sedan only natural sequence of his miscellaneous plans and his stumbling over the "pons asinorum," while Bis marck's silent and crafty scheming for the unity of Germany and the downfall of France showed consummate skill.
 The lecture was copiously illustrated with the stereopticon.
