A CLEVER CAPTURE

And Ano tn CT Detective In the Police
 Force-E. Button Caught Embez-
 zling From Ills Employer, s. E.
 Dtbble.
 Are all New Haven's sergeants born de- tectivesa It looks now as though the whole force will turn into the business. Last week Sergeant Cowles performed some pretty detective work, in which he was as- sisted by Officers Hackett and Goode. The same night Officers Farrell and Jackson executed a clever piece of detective work in capturing two thieves.
 Now comes another detective.
 Quite number of times lately s. E. Dibble, the we'll known, Grand avenue stove merchant and plumber, has lost small amounts from his safe. The matter depredations continued. Another thing which puzzled him was that no one knew the combination of his safe but himself and his bookkeeper. He finally got tired of puzzling over the matter and gave it into the hands of Superintendent of Police Smith. :. S.'+
 Superintendent Smith put Sergeant Mo- Grath on the case to work it up. Tester day afternoon Sergeant McGrath secreted himself in MT. Dibble's store in such 8 manner that he could see the safe without being seen.
 Orvis E. Dutton of 569 Dixwen avenue is salesman for MT. Dibble, and in some way learned the combination of the safe. He had used this knowledge more than once. He used it once too much. Sergeant McGrath saw him go to the safe, open it and take out a quarter. Before he could take any more Sergeant McGrath stepped from his hiding place and put him under arrest. At police station No. 3 Dutton broke down completely and confessed all the thefts. He gave bonds for his appear ance in court to-day.

Many Holiday Fairs and Entertafn-

 At the Atheneum last night the Couthoui Entertainment company drew out the largest crowd of the/ series of entertain ments. This is the last entertainment of the course, which has been extremely en- joyable and successful
 The annual Christmas bazaar, held by the Ladies' Social union of the Trinity M. E. church, is meeting with great success. The Japanese booth attracted consider able attention. The trimmings of the booth were brought from Japan, by MS. Plumb, who has been a missionary there and has just returned. An entertainment will be given by the children this evening. A supper and re- treatments were served. The candy booth was presided over by Mrs. William Ever hardt and Mrs. Emma Sloane; the Jap anese booth by Mrs. Jesse Welch Mrs. J. J. Dickerson and Mrs. L. A. Bettcher; the supper was under the management of Mrs. A. O. Styles.
 The entertainment for the benefit of the needy of the Howard avenue church met with great success last evening. Miss Ollie Smith of City Point, Conn.,, gave a reading, and MT. G. Smith and Miss Thompson each sang a solo. The affair netted S60.

WINDING UP.

The Campus Deserted-Many Men
 Left for the West on the Special
 Train-The Grip Sweeps Clear of the
 College.
 Everybody connected with the college looks tired. The students that have money enough have gone home, and the others are frantically trying to borrow enough to take them part way at least. The hack men, with all their prosperity, are tired and cross. But the most tired people in town are those with bills owing them.
 There are very few students remaining. Among them are few who spent sleep less night last night, fearful of the faculty meeting which will decide whether they are to be dropped or not.
 The grip, so prevalent elsewhere, has so far swept clear of the college.

 This evening, at the Hyperion, the grand concert of the Gounod society will take place. Everything betokens most bril- liant and successful affair. The soloists have arrived and are now at the New Haven house. This afternoon there will be dress rehearsal, not open to the pub

There will be large party present from each of these towns: Bridge port, Milford, Ansonia, Birmingham, Shelton and Meriden, and a special party from Guilford. One of the boxes will be occupied by some people from Hartford. This will be without question one of the most brilliant concerts ever given by New Haven people, and packed house of cul tured people will be present.

CHANGES AT PROCT0R,s.

MT. Turner of Proctor & Turner VIII
 Personally Manage the House-NO
 Efforts Have Been Made to Sell tho
 Lease-The House Has Made Money
 in Past Seasons.
 Quite decided change in the local man agement of Proctor's Opera house has taken place within the past few days. Colonel D. A. Reyes has been retired from the To- cal force and will return to Brooklyn in the course of a few days, or as soon as his health is sufficiently recuperated to permit of his travelling. Colonel Reyes has been ill for several weeks past and in conse- quence Messrs. Proctor & Turner sent W. F. Graham here from New York to look after the interests of the house. MT. Ora hams stay was but brief, and Wednesday evening he severed his connection with the house.
 It is authoritatively denied that Proctor & Turner are desirous of selling the lease of the theater and will continue to run it under their own personal super vision.- Mr. Turner will spend several days each week in this city and will per sonally direct the policy of the house. The house has not, it is stated, been run at financial loss for the past several years and MT. Turner will, by earnest efforts, endeayor to restore the old time popularity which the house at one time enjoyed.
 Thomas O'Brien will remain in his capacity of treasurer and will have full charge of the box office at such times as MT. Turner may be absent from the city and Walter Blakeslee will remain in full charge of the stage.
 @ Messrs. Proctor & Turner have se- cured as house superintendent and general advertising agent, John P. Mcfarland, who is well and favorably known to local theater-goers from his. Connection with Bhe theater last season, and J. D. Wash burne's management, when he made hosts of friends by his untiring efforts to please all the patrons of the house. It is safe to say that the theater will now take on a new lease of life.
