Lively limo IN store.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. There Is n
rumor in town that an effort will be made
shortly to have the statue OF Columbus,
erected by the Italian societies on woos-
ter street, removed TO East Rock Park.
When the proposition to erect the statue
first came before the public there was a
great deal of opposition manifested 10
placing IL on the green, chiefly upon the
ground that IL was a cheap metal affair OF
an insxtistic design. The councils, how
ever, granted the requisite permission to
the societies and the societies plans were
carried through. Should the efforts TO
remove the statue gather further force
there Is lively time in store for those in

Thomas McHale Sues the Equitable As
surance Company of New York.
In the United States Circuit Court to-
day the suit brought by Thomas Nc
Hale, administrator Of the estate OF Pat
rick j. McHale of New York against the
Equitable Assurance Company Of New
York for $1,000 was begun.
On March 3, $780, Patrick McHale took
out a life insurance policy in the above
company for $1,000. aud on March g 1891,
he died. The insurance company refused
to pay the amount of the policy on the
ground that the holder had made a false
warranty at the time he took his policy
out. The statement ne swore to was that
he was not addicted TO the use of liquor.
He died from the effects Of heavy drink
ing.
The parties who bring the suit will
contend that Mr.. McIIale did not set up u
false warranty, as he did not become
addicted to tue use OF liquor until after he
mad taken out his policy.

ATTACKED The JEWS.
The Marquis De Mores Says They
Are Haters of French Honor.
TREMENDOUS STORM CREATED.
He Claimed That They Have Long Stood
in the Way OF the solution of Social
Problems-A Pitched Battle Fought
Between the Factions.

PARIS, Jan. T. A great anti-Semitic
meeting was held at the Tivoli Vaux hall
last evening, under the supervision of the
Libre Parole group. The hall was packed,
and the first two speakers were received
apparently with enthusiastic approval.
The principal speaker was the Marquis
de Mores. He began with general on
slaught on the Jews as the corrupters OF
French honesty and the haters of French
honor. A tremendous uproar greeted
these assertions and fifty men started
forward to dispute with the marquis his
place on the platform.
They met thirty partisans OF the Libre
Parole group who showed fight. Police
Commissary Veron announced that un-
less the disorder ceased, he must dissolve
the meeting. A short lull followed.
The Marquis de Mores expounded his
ideas on socialism and strikes and then
returned to the subject of the Jews with
the declaration that We're it not for them
and other capitalists like them, the social
question would be solved easily.
The Jews, he said, had brought about
the state OF affairs eliminating in the
Panama scandal. They rejoiced in such
ruin of French regulations. About 300
persons here rose, groaning and Kissing.
The rest OF the audience cheered or shout
ed for order.
The marquis, on account Of the uproar,
could not be heard even by those near
him, but he continued talking and gestic-
ulating. Eventually the Libre Parole
crowd made a rush for the principal dis
turbers, upsetting and smashing seats and
trampling down all antagonists In their
way. Commissary Veron then called in
200 policemen and cleared the hall.
newspaper man who attended the
meeting says: When the attempt was
made to storm the platform, iron chairs
and tables were thrown about and there
was a terrible struggle. Many nasty
wounds were inflicted.
De Mores and his party fought their
way to the floor, where a pitched battle
was fought by policemen and the factions
OF the audience. Many were removed un-
conscious from the hall, and numerous
arrests were made.

Massage Treatment.
THOMAS ]. FALES PETITIONS.
Other business in the Supreme Court To-
day and Several Rescripts Handed
Down-The Other Courts and the Work
They Did.

In the Supreme Court this morning
the petition of Thomas j. Fales for di-
vorce from Mary j. Fales, was heard be-
fore Judges Wilbur and Douglass.
Mr.. Fales makes this petition on the
grounds of desertion, cruelty aud misbe-
havior. He was represented by Benjamin
NJ. Bosworth. while Mr. Salisbury ap-
peared for Mrs. Fales.
From the testimony introduced in be-
half of the petition it appears that Mr..

evening, when shs would kiss him upon
his taxing his departure.
The pc itioner also claimed that his
wife threw chairs aud dishes at him aud
ran him in debt TO such an extent that he
was Obliged to post ner.
The testimony for the res 1ondent goes
to show that she was suffering from

ing for his wife in return for his services.
Sbe denied that the door was ever locked
upon her aud the doctor, and claimed
that she was never alone with him. Gen-
orally her sister was with her.
Ia regard TO the petitioner she said he

vide sufficiently for her support. Sue
