PREPARING FOR VIII TER.

John Pudden Steals an Overcoat from
an Oak Street Store-May be Charged
With Burglary - His Arrest Last
Evening.
John Pudden was arrested yesterday by,
Officers Daley and Wiser on the charge of
theft, but it is probable that City Attorney
Daley will change the complaint this
morning to one of burglary. One day last
week the second hand store of Jacob Kucel
on Oak street was entered while the pro-
prietor was sleeping on a lounge. He was
awakened by hearing someone in the store
removing clothing from the pegs. Kucel
Immediately west into the store, where he
found Pudden with one overcoat on his
back and several others under his arm.
When Pudden found that he was dis
covered he promptly made his escape
through window after having assaulted
the proprietor, who endeavored to capture
him. In his hurry to escape he dropped
the clothing which he had under his arm,
but took the overcoat, which he had on
with him. Mr.. Kucel claims that he for
chilly entered the store by means of the
window, and if he can prove this to the
satisfaction of City Attorney Daley this
morning the charge against Pudden will be
changed from that of theft to the graver
one of burglary.

New Haven Wins Agatn-Hartford Ii
Defeated-Smith and Hipsen Rush
for HartfOrd-GOod Playing During
Part of the Game.
Hartford is lost without Cunningham
and Dunning. Last nights game showed
this. New Haven played all around Tom
Cotter and his kangaroos. They came
down with the idea that they could play in
their old form. The New Haven team
played pretty strong game-that ia,
Whiting, Legion and Allen did. Wodtke
at times played pretty well, but both he
and Newcombe seemed to be lost when
good passing was required. They could
bang for goal and could hustle around, but
they could not pass or receive pass.
The Hartford team, too, was useless.
Dunning has gone home and Cunningham
was laid off. Smith and Hipson rushed
and Cotter played center. Cotter played
roughly and pushed the New Haven play
ers whenever he could. Two game started
with rush, Hartford playing strongly.
They worked the ball up and down the
rink and finally Gagged it. The New Ha-
ven team worked hard and soon had the
Hartford team played out. The goal tend
ing of Sword was superb and he and Sulli-
van saving the Hartford's from an over
whe1ming defeat.
Legion and Whiting played very
strong game and the crowd yelled them
selves hoarse at the many good plays made
by New Haven. .s.
Wodtke and Newcombe kept peppering
Swords all through. Swords, however,
was always on deck and so was Sullivan
Between the two they managed to keep the
ball out of the Hartford cage. Smith, who
was playing rush for the Hartford team.
| broke his skate, but managed to skate
| around for about five minutes before he
| was noticed and ordered off the floor. His
loss was not felt much, as he had not
| been playing at all.
The New Haven tam then forced the
game and by clever passing and good jug
Cling by Legion, Newcombe and Wodtk'
| they made goal.
The ball was kept around Hartford'i
| goal and Swords made some good stops
Wodtke and Newcombe, however, did no
seem to know when to pass or how-to re

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Hoyt's sparkling farce comedy "a
Bunch of Keys" was presented last even
ing by Gus Bothner's famous Sparks COM
pany to large and we'll pleased audience.
As announced on the program the piece is
called comedy, because comedy is the
word used to describe almost everything
put upon the stage at present, and the
authors desire to avoid the charge of &C.
centricity, having enough else to answer
for. "a Bunch of Keys" has been seen
several times in this city in seasons past,
but at no time has it ever been presented
by better company than that which
participated in the production last even
ing New speeialties, medleys, songs and
dances have been introduced until the
comedy has been 80 thoroughly recon-
structed as to be practically new. Miss Ada
Bother as Teddy Keys and Lee Harrison as
''Grimesey" carried off the honors of the
evening, and were ably seconded in their
efforts by Misses Annie Whitney, Blanche
Nichols and Messrs, Crosbie and Harlow.
The comedy will be repeated this and to-
morrow evenings, and tomorrow after
noon. s~
'Mugg's Landing" thoroughly revised
and reconstructed will be the attraction
the last half of the week.
PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE. > -
Hanlon's new "Fantasma" attracted q
fair sized audience last evening. The show
gave great satisfaction, and the audience
received the entertainment with many man
ifestations Of favor. 1t is really surprising
to see the amount and variety of material
which the Hanlons have managed to put
into this piece, and all of it Of the very
best quality. The series of pictures pre-
sented are elaborate and beautiful, and the
blending of colors is SO harmonious and sc
| tasteful that the eye is constantly
| gratified. The costumes are in keeping
with the rest of the production, and are
| novel in design and handsome in color and
| arrangement. The tableaux are beautiful
| and effective, and the Hanlons have in
several of them ontdone themselves. The
spectacle will be repeated this evening.

IrcpryaRD STFVART,S CARELESS BUTLER.

The fact that state Senator Lispenard SteWart's but
Ter. Eugene O'COnncll. is not always so careful as lie
might be in his watch on his masters silverwarc and
money. was disclosed in General Sessions yesterday.
Frank smith was on trial for stealing a gold watch
worth S75 from OConneli on March !. The two men
were old friends, and were chatting together in the
pantry Of MI. stewards house. No. 6 Fifth-avc, while
the butler was cleaning the slverwarc. The safe,
which contained silverware worth $4,000 and en-
vclopeS Of money In plain view, was open, but OCOn-
nell left the pantry on some erIand. When he re-
turned smith was gone, having taken his friends
watch with him.
When smith was arrested a pawn tickle. for the
watch was found in his pocket. O'COnnell refused u
prosecute him, saving that they were old friends, and
that lie would have given Smith the watch II he had
only asked for IL. Smith was accordingly acquitted.
