final seven years which leads up to the
end of the 2,520 years assigned to the

POLICE COURT.
A Falthless Wife and Her Paramo,

Arrested on Union Street.
The police court room was pretty well
filled this morning with principals, wit
nesses and that portion of our people
who are attracted when they know that
the police court docket contains some.
thing sensational.
John Meackle was first called to
answer to the charge of intoxication.
He had but lately come down from the
town house where he said he had been
sick with pneumonia. Yesterday morn
ing he got drunk. He was fined 81 and
costs.
Edward Killoughy and John RYAN
for being drunk, also paid each 81 and
costs.
Lizzie Boylan and Robert Hotchkiss
were next called and charged with
adultery. They pleaded not guilty and
Mrs Boylan's husband was called on to
testify. He said they were married in
Watertown on September 81, 1889: thew
lived together until last June when he
left her, and he had not seen her since
until last night, when in the company
of Officers King and Blakeley, he found
kiss at the house of Mrs
Susan White at 80 Union street.
The woman in her own defense stated
that she was not undressed, and said
with emphasis that her husband could
do his worst, that she supported him be-
fore they were married and since; and
that she cared nothing for him. Hotch-
kiss being called said that he wanted
counsel. Prosecuting Attorney Kellogg
thought that a queer time to ask for
counsel, as the evidence on the part of
the state had all been heard, but Judge
Cowel wanted to give the accused
every means of defense andseso ad-
journed the case until tomorrow
morning. The bonds were placed at
$500 each.
Clifford NJ. Coles, one of the men ar
rested yesterday, charged with writing
policy checks, was then called to
answer to the charge. His attorney,
Mr. O'Neill, wanted the several charges
consolidated, that there might be but one
set of costs. After some debate on the
matter of doing SO, the court decided
that they may be put in as separate
charges, as they occurred on different
days and with different persons. Mr.
O'Neill asked time to file q plea of
and the case was adjourned
until Saturday morning, both men
being under bonds.

Henry w. LongEeIlOw's Charming Love
Story NEusloally Told.
The Choral society held a very sue
cessful rehearsal Of Priscilla last
evening. Principals and members Of
the chorus are deeply interested in the
work and the opera promises to be one
of the great musical events of the
season.
The opera is based on Longfellow's
poem, 1.-THE Courtship Of Miles Stand
ish," and is the joint production Of
Thomas w. 6urette, the composer. The
music has received the warmest praise
from the leading musical critics of New
England. The dialogue Is in verse, and
its humor throughout is delicious. It is
burlesque without q shadow Of coarse
ness, and the mosaic Of fun and senti-
ment Is 80 deity put together that q
very numerous picture is the result. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to any
one, until these authors revealed the
fact, that the puritan life and traditions
humorous operate treatment. Yet,
when once the suggestion is made, it
dawns upon all what an excellent
travesty can be made of LOngfellow's
dainty tale.
The historical personages, who figure
in the opera are doughty Miles Standish,
the bashful and obliging John Alden,
the disnitied William Bradford, gov
ernor of the colony, and the roguishly
demure Priscilla. Squanto, the Indian
friend of the cOlonists, and Barbara,
whom Standish eventually married, also
appear. The more strictly comic work
is given to fictitious characters, among
whom are Resignation, a susceptible,
middle-aged spinster, and Hatebad Hig-
gins, agent of the 'tMayfower," and
president of the the Ancestral Relic and
Anticipated Heirloom Co, limited. This
latter worthy is a combination of aus
tere hypocrisy and modern Yankee en-
terprise; his various money making
schemes, his comical love-makine
scenes with the coy Resignation, and
his unsuccessful attempts to carve up
Plymouth Rock to sell for relics, afford
much merriment.

WILCOX FOR CLEVELAND.
Says That Hill Has Been u DisappOIn

Says That Hill Has Been q DisappOInt-
ment at Warrington.
In an interview yesterday Congress
man Wilcox of the Second. district said
81 do not see how the Chicago con-
vention can fail to nominate Cleveland.
He represents tariff reform and he
represents sound money. AS to Hill, he
has fallen steadily in the estimation of
democrats here ever since he came. He
has been a great disappointment.
Particularly is this so in regard to his
attitude on the leading questions of the
day. He did not appear to have any
particular convictions in regard to the
tariff or to silver. Everything appeared
to be a matter of policy and policy
alone. 1t is now raid Mr. Hill will vote
for free silver when the matter comes
up in the senate. If he does this he
will never be able to head the New
York delegation to Chicago, and, as a
natural consequence, Cleveland would
get 1T. Some say that the Hill people
would knife Cleveland should the ex-
president be placed at the head of the
ticket. l do not believe Tammany
would consent to any such thing. Its
success as political organization would
be endangered, and Tammany looks
after that first. The complete knock
out of free silver is a victory of which
eastern democrats can well be proud.
With tremendous odds against them
they fought almost against hope and
won. No possible result could have
been better for the party. 1t leaves
many of the republicans of the east in q
bad position while every eastern demo
crat is on record as unalterably opposed
to free silver. Connecticut democrats
now have victory next fall in their
grasp; They have only to present a
united front and go in and win"

made the point that the call was illegal,
which was sustained by the chair and

There was q fair sized audience to
hear Rev Mr. Foster last night in his
lecture on "Rebel Prisons It was
one of the most interesting discourses
that has been given here this season.
Appraisers were appointed yesterday
to appraise the loss on the Hall building
burned on Sunday morning. They did
not agree and made e. A. Hotchkiss the
third man to decide to-day.
The annual meeting of the Congrega-
tional society and election of officers
