THE REVIVAL PROGRESSES.

Increasing Interest Being Manifested
 Large Numbers in Attendance.
 A large audience, considerably larger than any since Sunday, attended the re- vival service at First Baptist church last evening. The sermon was from Matthew ix, 37-3S and was an exceedingly earnest plea for courage in Christian work. MT. Davidson instanced such an historical case as Martin Luther, who was only 8 monk, but who moved the German world and be- gan the great reformation. D. L. Moody is another case of zeal that will not be si- fenced. When he began it was suggested that he was too ungrammatical to speak in the prayer meeting of cultured Boston church, but in few years special build ing had to be provided for thousands who wished to hear him preach. In Rochester, N. Y., few years ago, a commercial traveller just returning home from a trip was near the river and saw crowd running toward the river. He ran to see what the matter was He was told that boy had fallen into the water and had just gone down for the third time. Stripping off his coat he plunged in, and succeeded in rescuing the
 
 the surest way to secure the best good of our own friends, and labor for the salva- tion of others. A very striking incident was given of recent service in church in New York state. A poor woman, of evil repute, came to the meetings and e1- pressed desire for her own conversion A rich man attended the same meetings, and the church people much desired his conversion. They feared the woman hindered him from expressing interest, 80 the pastor was requested to suggest to her that she did not need to be quite SO prominent in the meetings as the pastor in weakness did. The rich man saw it done, took his hat and left the church, never to return. Served them rightl s'Be brave, be earnest. go after everybody without respect to their social positions, and have faith in God" Many requests for prayer were presented, and several persons asked prayer for their own conversion. The meetings are steadily and surely gaining in interest every day. All persons who attend at 4 o'clock or at half past seven are made welcome.

 A meeting of the members of the First Connecticut Heavy artillery was held last evening in the city hall, E. c. Dow presid- ing, to make arrangements for the state reunion to be held the 10th of next June. Comrade Walton made the motion that General George M. Harman be elected chairman of a committee of ten, who are to have full power to act in the arrange ments for the reunion. After some dis cussion the motion was carried unani- mously. It was then decided that instead of appointing the committee at last nights meeting committee of five should be ap- pointed to bring in the names of ten men to be acted on at another meeting to be held next Thursday. The reason for this movement was that out of the 250 mem- bers of the organization in New Haven only about twenty-five were present. This will enable the lists to be gone over and 8 more satisfactory committee chosen than might be hastily selected at a small meet ing. This committee of five consists of K. c. Dow, chairman; J. J. Bradneck, Henry w. Loomis, W. R. Sawyer and Ed ward Hope The names as selected at the next meeting will be forwarded to the president of the association at New Lon. don, where the reunion was held last year and will in all probability be approved by him

the finding of diamond in Prokasky's saloon by any of these men would not show them guilty of theft or any criminal intent, but it is the actions and behavior after the finding of property that tend to show what the intent of the persons is Now Cook, Frank and McDermott are all employed in Prokasky's place. They knew of the circumstance of the loss of MT. Preston's diamond. They saw the detectives looking about the place and they heard MT. Preston offer re- stone. The evidence shows that the morning after the loss of the diamond Cook found it. He did not turn it over to MT. Prokasky, the | officer or MT. Preston, but after keeping it @ day gave it to Frank. Frank in turn | kept it three weeks and gave it to McDer- mott. These three, though they knew of the loss of the diamond, made no effort at restitution. I therefore find probable cause in these three cases.
 l Taborini was discharged. Frank and Cook went to jail. while McDermott was released on $500 bond furnished by Pro- kasky.
 The diamond has not been found. Mo Dermott and Taborini promised Sergeant Cowles that they would get it for him shortly after their arrest, and Taborini went to New York, where it is claimed he disposed of it. When he came back he did not return the diamond, and he would say nothing about his journey to the de, tective.
 Attorney Goodhart will advise his clients to aid in the recovery of the store.
 Frederick L. Martin, aged fourteen, ot 23 Hudson street, Wesley Jackson, aged thirteen, of "A Eaton street, and Isidore Putzel, aged eleven, of 32 Charles street

The production of "Uncle Celestin" at the Hyperion tonight promises to be one of the most amusing and entertaining events of the winter. Although it has never been produced in this country prior to this season, it has attained a surprising degree of popularity. MT. Edmund Andrau, who is the author of the popular vette," is the composer of the music, which is one of the best recommends it could have. The opera, or rather comedy, with music will be repeated tomorrow evening.
 "Jane" comes February 16.
 PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 The popular comedy-drama Birds of a Feather" played to another large house last evening.
 ''Natural Gas" will be the attraction to- night. The company is particularly well selected one. The authors, Donnelly and Girard, are the Upright, particular planets" of the play, while Manager Samuel P. Cox has surrounded them with stars that shine brightly, even if brought in contact with the planets themselves. Among those are Miss May Howard, who sparkles in Natural Cas-" Annie Mack Berlein, Kitty Kursall, George Murphy, w. w. Black and Pete Mack of Dockstader's minstrels. Besides the company embraces five pretty and nimble young ladies, the Misses Jessie Gardner, Clara St. Maur, Kitty Allen, Ida Rock, the Misses Fanny and Sagar Midgley.
 The comedian, William Barry, of Barry & Fay, will appear Thursday evening, February 4, in "McKenna's Filtration"
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 ''One of the Bravest" played to an i'm mense house last evening, standing room being at premium at 8 o'clock. The cast ia most excellent one. Charles McCar- thy is especially deserving of praise as is also William Cronin in the role of Mrs. Crogan. It is rare that an actor can so we'll impersonate female character, but MT. Cronin has reached high degree of excellence in this part. Miss Lottie Burke is most pleasing singer, dancer and actress and forms one of the leading features of the company. MT. c. J. New ton in the role of Butter Kelly alias the "Tiger," who loves trouble ''causin it's e1citin'," is well known as an actor of su perior ability. MT. Edwin G. Russell, as the colored comedian, and MT. J. Herbert Mack, as the Gold soldier" excite roars of laughter. The company also contains two children, one ss Master ''La Maritime" ss "Rats." the bootblack, and Little Helen, as "Little Mary" It is wonderful now such little people can perform their parts so well. The interest of the play, how ever, centers in the second act in which the burning tenement house and the white Arabian horses are introduced. The horses Ire magnificent. Tho play will be here the remainder of the week with Saturday matinee.
 The May Howard Burlesque company will be at the Grand opera house February IS, 19, 90.

Attorney Fox said that the defendants did not desire to take the stand, but that he would argue for their discharge on the ground that the state had not made out a case against them. MT. Fox spoke more particularly for Anthony Taborini and Timothy McDermott, while Mir. Goodhart argued for the discharge of Henry Frank and William Cook. City Attorney Daley followed with an argu ment for the binding oyer to the superior court of all four of the accused.

 Hall.
 Judge F. B. Hall, of the superior court, filed his decision yesterday on the demurrer in the islander suit of Blakeslee & Sons against Anthony Carroll. The arguments on the demurrer were made some time ago. Attorney Bennett, who appeared for Car roll, claimed that the words used by Car roll in response to the Blakeslees at the hearing before the board of public works were not of a ibelous nature. Judge Pickett and E. P. Arvine for the plaintiff, argued that they were. The decision over- rules MT. Bennett's demurrer, which means trial of the suit.
 Judge Hall partially heard the suit of William H. Hewlett, trustee of the Osborn & Cheesman company of Ansonia, for $15,000 for services, and continued the case until to-day, after the short calendar session.

THE BODLEY SUITS.

IdE 6ODLE1 SUITS.
 Several suits which were somewhat con- nected with the settlement of tie estate of Mrs. John s. Bodley have been settled out of court. When Mrs. Bodley's will was Of fered for probate last November Mr. Bod ley, her husband, contested the will, when long and sensational trial ensued, which terminated in victory for Bodley and the setting aside of the will.
 In the will Mrs. Bodley left all her prop erty, valued at $5,000, to Mrs. A. M. Holmes, and completely ignored her hus- band. In the trial it was proven that Mrs. Bodley was in dying condition and only partially conscious when the will was drawn. Previous to her death, which occurred July 29, 1891, Mrs. Bodley deeded to Mrs. A. M Holmes certain property which she did not want to fall into her husbands hands, owing to his
 misconduct with his sister-in-law, Mrs. H. J. Hatch. Bodley then brought suit to have the suit set aside and the property turned over to him. While this suit was pending Bodley's brother-in-law, H. J. Hatch, brought suit against Bodley to re. cover 5000 for alternating his wife's affec- tions. Bodley was arrested by sheriff and lodged in jail, but he secured bonds that the suit brought against him by Hatch was only conspiracy to injure him in the will case.
 The suit of Bod1ey vs. Mrs. Holmes, the suit of Hatch vs. Bodley and the appeal of Mrs. Holmes from the probate court de- cision have been withdrawn.
 Judge York and William P. Niles acted as counsel for Bedley, and c. K. Bush for Mrs. Holmes and Hatch.
