FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.

j. n. Hall, Former Resident OF
This City, Mysteriously Missing
From Hartford-Known to Have
Large Amount of Money In His Pos
session.
John R. Hall, formerly of this city, but
more recently of Hartford. suddenly dis
appeared Tuesday morning, about $50
o'clock, and since that time his friends
have been uaable to find any clue as to his
whereabouts, though diligent search has
been made in every direction, and the as
sistance of the police has been brought to
find the missing man. There are indica-
tons in the case which point to foul play,
but his friends are rather averse to believe
that so dire fate has befallen him, and
still hope that he may have wandered off
in fit of mental alteration, and will turn
up all right.
Last Monday evening Hall, who lie
about twenty-six years of age and who has
but recently recovered from an attack OF
the grip, attended in company with sever
al of his friends an entertainment of So
cial nature. Shortly after o'clock Tues
day morning Hall left the party and start
ed to go to his boarding place, distance
of but a few blocks. This is the last clue
to the missing man, as he has, as yet, fail
ed to turn up at his boarding place and
from the fact that he is known to have
had considerable sum of money, about
$125 in his possession, and it is feared
that he may have fallen in with footpads
and become victim of foul play.
Hull was we'll and favorably known in
this city, having resided on Meadow street
and for some years held a responsible posi-
ton at Winchester's, which he gave uI
about year ago to accept position ai

SHE RUNS AWAY.

Michael Pope Claims That His Wife
Will Not Stay at Home-He Also
Claims That She Drinks.
Last evening Michael Pope, an Italian,
living at 81 Laurel street, called at station
2 and wanted the police to arrest his wife,
Mary. He says she had run away from
him. He then commenced story of his
woes. He said that his wife is always
running away from him and he has taken
her back every time. This time, he says,
he will hand her over to the police when
she resppesrs on the scene of action. He
also said that every day after he was
through his work he came home and found
his wife in q drunken state surrounded by
q number of women who were also far
gone with the effects of the flowing bowl.
He had, he claimed, to do his own wash
ing and cook his own meals besides paying
his wife's liquor bill.
His wife is an extremely pretty woman,
and is well known around the lower parts
of the town. Pope is very jealous, and
thinks that she is always receiving some
Young man while her husband is at work.
She is about to become q mother, and Pope
claims that the child is not his, and that
fs one reason why he wishes to have her
arrested. The police are inclined to be-
lieve that this ia only subterfuge Of Pope
to GET rid of his wife and her child.

Minutes Under An Umbrella.s'

Miss Pardees entertainment down for
the evening of January 10 at the Hyperion

The private sale which, as before an

all, was very large and now that the box
Office sale has begun the seats are going
very rapidly.
The withdrawal of Miss Ingersoll from

necessity be shortened. But neither Miss
Pardee nor any of her company were IN
the least discouraged at the sudden change

Miss Edith Perkins of Whitney avenue and
Mr.. Thomas Trywbridge are to take part
in it. It takes the same number of min
utes for presentation as "The Serenade, p"
and is greater attraction for Miss Par

The annual collection in aid of the New

The amount received for the care of the
1,035 patients under treatment at the
hospital during the past year fell short of
the actual cost by at least 81, 900.
The income from our small general fund
is sufficient to cover only portion Of this
deficit and we depend on the annual Sun
day contributions for the balance.
Our ability to aid the suffering poor has
been largely increased by the Marett and
English funds and will be still further in.
creased by the Clifford fund as soon as the
new buildings are finished. But with the in
creased facilities come increased demands
and we have found it absolutely necessary
to construct an entirely new heating sys
tenn. Although friends have contributed
literally for this purpose, we have been
obliged to incur debt of over 81, 900 in
order to complete the work.
Other much needed improvements must
wait until the funds can be supplied.
The hospital is doing more and better
work each year, and We feel confident that
its friends will continue their generous aid

one of the series of comedies depicting
New England life, of which The Old

in the part of Abigail Prue, the New Eng
land splinter. ''Prim, prudish and practi-

and mannerisms very naturally. The play
itself, though good as a careful and exact
reproduction of country life, lacks the hu-
NOR which gave The Old Homestead such
a run, but is nevertheless immensely popu-
lar from its human touches and appeals to
