 The Gounod society will celebrate its tenth anniversary by grand perform ances of Gounods beautiful oratorio, "The Redemption" thls afternoon and evening at the Hyperion theater. The chorus will number 25O strong and will be assisted by the following eminent talent: Mrs. Corinne Moore-Lawson, so- prano, Cincinnati; Miss Gertrude May Stein, contralto, New York: Miss Lily Welch, ezzo-soprano, New York; Mir w. IT. Rieger, tenor, New York; and pr. Carl E. Dufft, basso, New York; the Boston Festival orchestra, augmented by four additional trumpeters and Sig nor Fabiari, court harpist to Russia and Austria; and MT. w.

 Splendid audiences for both the after IlOOn anu SNeIllHS pe1 LOl IiiuiASSH Sti ' e'S- - sured.
 The matinee will probably be distin- guished by the presence of His Excel lency Governor and Mrs. O. Vincent Coffin and party, who will occupy one of the proscenium boxes. The governor telephoned yesterday that he was try ing to arrange to come. He expected to arrive in New Haven at about one o'clock A committee from the society will meet him and escort him to the New Haven house. The governor will be without his staff on this occasion, as he prefers to be present unotficially- He and his party expect much pleasure from the performances.
 Some of those who will occupy boxes in the evening are President Dwight and party, the Rev F. s. Lines and party, Postmaster Beach and party, Miss Trowbridge with bevy of young ladies, Dr. Mason and others.
 The final rehearsal of the chorus took place last evening and was a marked success. The different numbers were sung with wonderful spirit and precis- ion.

 The matinee will begin at 2:15. Gen eral admission 50 cents. Admission ill the evening 75 cents and $1; and to top gallery 50 cents.

CONDUCTED WITH SECRECY.
Republican Members of Congress Met
 Rehind Closed Doors.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Both the repub- lican and democratic committees ap- pointed for the purpose of filling the vacancies in the senate committees met to-day. The republicans conducted their conference with the utmost se- crecy. No conclusion of any kind was reached and meetings will be held from day to day until committee assignments are ready to be submitted to the cau- GUS. The large addition to the repub- lican membership of the senate makes the eask of suitably and satisfactorily adjusting the assignments a task non easily performed
 Senators like Sherman, Morrill,, Alli- son. Mitchell and Aldrich, who have been chairmen of committees for yearsx will retain their places and where 0 senator is the ranking member of two or more committees he will be per- mitted, in accordance with the usage of the senate, to select the chairman- ship from his list that he prefers. The difficulty comes in locating the new men and rearranging those committees, the membership of which has been al- most entirely obliterated. Every re- publican senator will receive a chairs manship.
 There are sixty standing and select committees. Of these fifteen are given to the minority, leaving forty-five for the republicans. As there are but for- ty-two republicans in the senate, they can thus be easily accommodated to say nothing of a present of three chairman- ships to populists if need be. The sil- yer men will doubtless dominate the finance committee and will fill the va- cancy caused by the retirement of MT. McPherson.
 There is also a. proposition to increase the number of that committee by add- ing MT. Platt of Connecticut, and if this were done MT. Platt, who is the ranks ing man on three important commits tees, would probably give way on the most important of these and give some of the new men the place. The demo- cratic committee at it's conference came to no conclusion, preferring to wait and see what the republicans did.

GRINTEp AN TNJUNCTION.
Judge Bischof Takes Action Against the
 Gas Trust.

New York, Dec 9.--Judge Bschoff of the common pleas court granted an in- junction late on Saturday restraining the Chicago Gas trust from carrying out it's plan of reorganization adopted October 1. The plaintiff is William E. Whitney of this city, who is said to also represent large interests outside of New York The defendants are given as Fred P. Olcott, Roswell F. Flower. Anthony N. Brady, Walter Ferguson, c. K. G. Billings, William J. Campbell and the Central Trust company of New York In regard to the action counsel for the plaintiff state that parties own ing very large amounts of stock be- lieve that the present plan is illegal and cannot be carried out without re- sulting disastrously to stockholders. They also assert that they believe they have a plan for preserving their inter- ests which is legal, but does not con- solidate all the companies in the trust.
 Still it is said to be in perfect har- mony with the laws of Illinois and will preserve all the properties.
 The order sets forth that the defend ants attorneys and all others connected with the plan of consolidation of Octo- ioer ] are enjoined and restrained until the further order of the court from in any way, directly or indirectly. pro ceeding to carry out the terms of said agreement. Further, the defendants are ordered to appear before Judge Bischoff or one of the jus tices at the special term to be held De- cember 13, or as soon after as counsel can be heard, and show cause why the plaintiff should not have such other and further relief in the proceedings as may loe deemed just and equitable, sufficient cause appearing therefor

PERSONAL.

MT. Edward Laurence, the wholesala coal dealer, and wife, returned yester- day from their trip south. They went directly from here to New Orleans. where they remained about week and then went to Atlanta, where they stayed position. MT. Laurence speaking of the trip yesterday, said that while in New Orleans mosquitoes were very nu- merous, lively and inquisitive. After leaving New Orleans and when the Crescent City was well left behind flies were numerous in the cars and at all the stations. On reaching Atlanta they found cold wave in operation there and last Tuesday the thermometer dropped to within thirteen degrees of zero. The first snow met with this season by Mr. Laurence was also in the sunny South" They found the ground white with snow at Alexandria, Va, on their way back. But these were only inci- dental matters, not sufficient to mar the trip, which as a whole was greatly enjoyed.
 Franklin H. Hart left Saturday for Atlanta. After brief stay there he will go farther south to Florida, re- turning to New Haven about the firsa of January.
 Mir and Mrs. J. Mason Hoppin, jr., sailed Saturday morning on the Kaiser, Wilhelm for the other side, where they will spend the winter at Naples.

She Was Bitten Several Times in Her At
 tempt to Drive the Dog Off-She Was
 overpowered and Thrown to the Ground
 -Passersby Attracted to the Scene and Helped the Woman to the House.
 At about S:S0 o'clock yesterday morn ing Mrs. Samuel Morris was attacked by ferocious bulldog belonging to her husband, who is superintendent of the clasp department at Mayer, Strouse & Co.'S corset factory, and was terribly bitten. It seems that a chicken be- longing to a neighbor, Mrs. Spencer, had flown over into Mrs. Morris yard and the dog had caught it. Mrs. Nor ris ram out to get the chicken away from him. She had taken it away and handed it to Mrs. Spencer, who stood on the other side of the fence. when the dog flew at her. She fought him off as best she could, being bitten several times in the attempt. Finally, becom- ing exhausted, she leaned against the fence. Again the ferocious brute came at her and this time she was so weaken- ed that he overpowered her and threw her to the ground. He then bit into her right hand near the wrist and be- gan to chew it while Mrs. Morris, with great presence of mind endeavored to choke him and push him away, but her efforts were futile. By this time several passsrsby attracted by the en- counter and Mrs. Spencer, who had got ten around the fence, came to her as sistance, but were only able to make the dog let go after choking him nearly to death. The nearly fainting woman was taken into the house and Dr. FL tot was summoned. He cauteriZed and dressed the lady's injuries and last eve ming she was resting quietly, although greatly unnerved by the terrible strug- gle. Her hand was terribly lacerated and both arms and limbs were badly bitten, as was also the chest and vari- ous other parts of her body. Dr. Eliot stated that it was one of the worst cases of the kind he ever saw. No bones in the hands were broken. Mrs. Morris sister. Mrs. Sharpe, of 230 Wooster street, is at present nursing her.
