HELD FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT

A New London Man Who ObtnIned $500
 From Charles F. Turner Under False
 Pretenses.
 In the police court at New London yesterday. Charles R Tinker was bound over to the superior court under bonds of $500, for obtaining money under false pretenses. The testimony of Charles E. Turner of this city, tEe plaintiff in the case, was to the effect that in August last he was met by MT Tinker in New London with a request for a loan ot $500, with which to stay the claims of some pressing creditors. MT Tinker represt nted that his stock was worth SEQ 900 and his household furniture was worth Sl 500. The furni ture was exhibited to MT Turner, and the latter took bill of sale of the furni- ture as security in part for the loan, the time for payment of the loan although MT Tinker professed him self able to pay il inside of thirty days. The loan was never re paid. In the fall Mir Tinker received some of the furniture. not exceeding Sl25 in value. Mr Tinker also owed the Turner estate. of which witness was ad- miuistratOr, S4000. and Mir Paine $4,- 500. He told MT Turner that outside of these debts and what he owed the oauh0' Nhhii "t't dhtliN StNu'tu' ht' owed about s 500 MT Turner's trip to New London was particularly in rela- tion to Mir Tinker paying the $4000 he owed the Turner estate, and on MT rinker's representations he loaned him the $500 to tide him over his difficulty and thus protect, as far as possible, the Turner estate, because Mir Tinker said if the Turner estate would wait it would receive every cent. The $500 N..s N T. Tinker's finances were as he repre- sented. It was shown in court that the liabilities of the Tinker estate amounted to $62, ,916 93.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

The most interesting place on

the class-rooms, is the gymnasium.
Work here is progressing rapidly.
The running track is almost com.
pleted or ready for the Narragansett
people to lay their track, and it prom,
ises 10 be fine one.
1t is now in mind to formally open
the new gymnasium on Thanksgiving
day. Many invitations will probably
be sent out, and it is hoped that many
former students and friends of the
school will be present to show their
interest in the growth and prosperity
of our Normal School.
A committee of the Faculty has
been appointed, to prepare suitable
programme for the day and occasion.
= No report has been made as yet,
but we doubt not that all who spend
Thanksgiving day on the hill, will be
pleased and glad to know that each
new year marks changes and improve.
ments for the school.
A large force of men and teams are
now at work, under direction of the
superintendent of grounds, grading the
campus lying west Of the buildings.
To level up the hollow is a great
big undertaking but the corps now at
work make daily impressions upon the
big hole, and with ten days more, we
will not know the place. This when
finished, will make an elegant ground
for field sports.
The authorities of the school de.
serve much credit in their zeal to
make every part OF the school as it
should be.

PARISH HOUSE CASE SETTLED.

The suit of Jonathan Bachman
against the Rector, Wardens and YES
trymen of St. Paul's Church, tried at
last May court, resulted in a verdict in
favor Of the plaintiff for S54S.oo.
Though the church proved that it had
made a contract for the erection of a
Parish House for a certain amount
with rhos. Cory, and held his re-
ceipt in full for the contract price,
and Cory had a written contract with
Bachman as sub contractor for the
stone work, and showed that he had
overpaid Bachman on that contract,
Bachman swore that he had a differ
ent verbal arrangement with Corey
for extra work, and the jury gave him
all he demanded. The defendants
feeling that they had been wronged,
took an appeal to the Supreme Court,
and the case would have been argued
there next April But few weeks
ago the church authorities concluded
that it would be better to settle the
case, because it would cost several
hundred dollars to carry it to the Su-
preme Court, and by adding a little
more to this, the workmen whom
Bachman had not paid would get
their money. Accordingly a propo
sition was made, and after some ne
gotiations, an agreement was reached,
and the docket was satisfied by the
plaintiff on the payment of $6a5 by
the church. The full amount OF the
debt, interest and costs, was about
$3.50.

BURGLARS CAPTURED.

On Saturday night at about half
past ten O'Clock, the cellar of the ST.
Elmo Hotel was entered and a three
gallon demijohn Of whiskey and sever.
al bottles of case goods amounting in
all to about thirty dollars were stolen.
On Monday morning J. l.. Girton
went before Guy Jacoby Esq. and
swore out a warrant for the arrest Of
Hiram Long and Jonathan Chromis,
who were taken in custody by Officers
Thomas and Woodward, and brought
before the Justice and given a hear
ing. ]. l.. Girton testified to the
breaking in the cellar and the loss Of
the liquor. The men entered by the
back cellar door by breaking a pane
OF glass, and unlocking the door, and
broke into the liquor cellar with a
piece of gas pipe. John S. Williams
testified that Long and Chromis told
him they were going to get some of
Girton's whiskey, and he watched
them. They went down to the rear
end of the lot and when they disap-
peared Williams called Harry Doak
who works for Winner & Derr, and they
watched together. Pretty soon the
men came down through the lot one
with demijohn, and the other with a
bag full of bottles. Williams and
Doak followed them to Catharine
street when Mr.. Doak came back, hut
Williams followed them to Chromls'
house, where they were emptying the
liquor from the demijohn into bottles.
1t was then late at night, and Mr..
Doak told Mr.. Girton on Sunday
morning what he had seen. The
thieves gave Williams bottle of
whiskey and the latter stated that he
took it to use it as evidence against
them. Doak corroborated Williams
testimony. The Justice committed
the men to Jail without bail, the charge
being burglary. Long and Chromis
admit that they broke in the cellar
and took the liquor, but allege that
two other men planned the THEFT for
them.
