rHoLmEs, CASE CONTINUED.

Taken to Jail in Default of $500
 Bonds-Butler, One Of the Victims,
 Much Improved and No Serious
 Results Anticipated Unless Inham-
 nation Sets In-Tholmes, Version
 of the Afray.
 Elmer A. Tholmes, the man who did the shooting in Hamden early Sunday morning and was later arrested for the crime, was taken to Centerville yesterday morning in the custody of Officers Tripp and Watrous Henry for a hearing. At the request of the prisoners counsel, Judge Blydenburgh, the case was continued until November 26 and Tholmes placed under bonds of $500. An unsuccessful attempt was made to se- cure bonds in Hamden and Tholmes was brought back to this city and incarcerated in the New Haven jail.
 Tholmes in his own behalf claimed that he was attacked by Jones and that he was thrown upon the ground before Tholmes drew his revolver and fired. Butler then interfered and pulled Jones off and Tholmes upon reaching his feet in the excitement of the moment knowing neither friend nor foe, fired twice more, wound ing the two men. The fact that Jones was shot in the back is easily accounted for; in the scuffie to get him off he had
 been turned around by Butler. That he
 was close to the pistol when it went off is evidenced by the fact that his coat was
 set on fire. It is asserted that third
 man was shot in the leg, but who that
 man is, is as yet unknown. None of the | parties interested knew him. It is safe to | presume that if third man was shot, he was hit by the first discharge | of the pistol when Tholmes was down, and the fact that he was hit in the leg bears
 this theory out, for it is positively known | that neither Butler nor Jones were shot un- I til Tholmes arose to his feet. Tholmes | was unable to state why Jones should have attacked him unless it was because he was
 liquor spotter, and claims that he is
 aware that threats have been made against l his life.
 | Butler was much better during yesterday
 and it is now believed he will recover if inflammation does not set in. It is not | yet known whether the bullet penetrated
 his left lung as at first supposed. Jones
 is very comfortable and his wound will
 heal in short time. As yet there is nc
 clue to the identity of the third man, who l was shot in the leg.

Educational. .'--% Concerning Miss Skinner and Miss Hintz

EOuc0J1Ohh1s
 Concerning Miss Skinner and Miss Hintz,
 who contributed their quota to the interest of the recent taachers' convention here, the Springfield Republican of yesterday says:
 The interest in the primary section centered in the afternoon session, when Miss Skinner of New Haven read paper on ssThe Significance of Form and Color Study in the Primary Grades" and Miss w. Bertha Hintz Of New York gave practical exemplihcation of the use of blackboard illustrative drawing in primary schools. It was an Interesting and
 instructive program" and innocent looking withal, but those who arc behind the scenes understood that these two bright women, both of whom are graceful and effective speakers, represent the big fight between the Prang and White drawing systems that is just coming on, and which bids fair to give educational America as much of . stirring up as the rival systems of music have
 been able to create during the last few years
 Miss Skinner is @ champion of the Prang com pany, and her appointment as supervisor of drawing for New Haven last month is regarded as quite triumph for their cause because under the former superintendent this city was rated as ssmugwump" town as regards drawing, not
 being committed to either of the great systems.
 Miss Hintz for long time connected with the
 Boston normal school, has lately gone to New
 York, under the auspices of the American Book company, to build up the New York normal art school After her talk she delighted her auditors by distributing some of her sketches among them. sss
