ALTMAN ACQUITTED.

The Charge Of HOr stealing Falls
 Flat and He Threatens to Bring Suit
 Against Wood.
 The trial of Daniel T. Altman of this city, who was arrested yesterday for horse stealing, was held this morning before Judge Platt The accused was defended by Attorney William Kennedy of Nauga- tuck, and Attorney Mueller prosecuted. Fred J. Wood and a man named Finley testified that Altman sold the horse to the former. Both of the Aumans swore that the horse was only loaned to Wood for the winter.
 Judge Platt decided that the accused was not guilty, but instructed the prose- cutting attorney to prepare new instru- ment holding Altman for injury to private property, not wishing the costs in the case placed upon tue city of Meriden. The amended complaint was based on the fact that Altman had broken a lock upon the stable door in order to secure possession of his horse.
 Attorney Kennedy said that the costs would be paid by the state, and not by the city of Meriden Judge Platt said that he had been co Nnected with the court in some way for fourteen years and did not see how that could be. Attorney Kennedy looked up the statutes and showed by sec tion 1852 that in case of this kind, where the accused must either be bound over or acquitted, the state pays the costs, The amended complaint was then dropped and Altman was acquitted. It is probable that civil suit will be brought by Altman against Fred J. Wood

shell district, very near the Charleston harbor. This section was entirely de- stroyed during the war.
 We visited the citadel last evening" This is broad plaza with a statue of John O. Calhoun Tn the center. Here it was that the local military companies went through their daily maneuvers, when they had a "home guard" but for some time Charleston has been without a military or ganization. A year or so ago they were ordered out to enforce a law which they, as we'll as a great many others, considered obnoxious. They refused to go out, and consequently the companies were immedi- ately disbanded by the state. We visited the famous St Michael's yesterday, as we'll as St Philips, another old landmark. The interior of St Michael's is draped in mourning out of respect to the memory of it's pastor. who has just died. The organ. 130 years old, was being tuned up for Easter while We were there. We sat in the pew which George Washington and family occupied in this old church. It is an elegant structure and is kept in such condition that it does not look as old as it is, During the earthquake a feV years ago the spire of this edifice dropped about ten inches and it stands just so to-day.

A visit to the battery and a walk along the handsome and spacious wa ter front was thoroughly enjoyed A fine view of the hsrbor is obtained here. This water front is considered one of the best, if not the very best, in the country. The many old and spacious houses in this part of the city and the gardens of beautiful flowers, magnolia and palmetto trees. are sights which northerner views with pleasure. We expect to visit Fort Sum. ter, Sullivan island. the Magnolia gardens the Magnolia cemetery and many other places of beauty and interest It is { lovely season here and We would like tC tarry longer than our limited time vii allow. but in few, days we will bt speeding back to the land of steady habit and wooden nutmegs. c.

ElGATAG GRADE GRADUATES.

Class Exercises This Morning and
 Diplomas Conferred This After
 noon.
 City hall presented a cheerful appear ance this afternoon. The whole interior was eaily decorated with streamers and bannerettes and the front of the stage was oue solid bank of roses, one hundred and sixteen graduates of the eighth grade, forming a pleasing background. There was one class each from the Bank, Clay and Bishop street schools and three classes from the high school building. one each from the rooms of the Misses Mccarthy, Donahue and Whiting. There was a musical programme by the pupils of the public schools under the supervision of Professor O. R. Bill. Secretary Charles D. Hine of the state board of education delivered m address and Thomas D. Wells of the board of education awarded the diplomas. All these pupils will enter the high school at the opening of the April term. The hall was crowded to the doors with parents and relatives of the graduates and the pupils went through their exercises in a manner which proved that the system of education in Waterbury is up to the highest possible standard.
 At the high school brilding this morn ing the graduates held exercises in their respective rooms. The place was literally thronged with friends of the different pupils. Exercises were also held at the Bishop, Bank and Clsy street schools with unusually large attendances. The sight ot the children this afternoon as they marched to City hall was inspiring and the interest manifested in the success of the different pupils by their parents and the members of the board of education bodes well for the future of Waterbury. The graduation exercises of the pupils of ,he high school class of '95 will commeuca at 7:3O o'clock tonight Chairman Mulcahy of the board of education will award the diplomas

ROAD MATTERS.
Bound to He a Kick Against the Spec
 Limit Ordinance.

Bound to He q Kick Against the Speed.
 Limit Ordinance. a a
 The Traction company has adopted a. new rule in regard to transfers. Hereto fore people have been in the habit of se- curing transfers, spending from half an hour to an hour around the center and then boarding car from wherever they happen to be. The object of the transfer is to enable passenger to secure a contin- uous trip to any part of the city for one fare, but, it seems, the privilege has been abused. Hereafter transfers will be good only from Exchange place.
 Nearly all of the cars are now equipped with new cash registers. made in New Ha- ven. They are said to be an improvement on the registers formerly in use and are more economical, as they can be pur- chased outright, while the old registers could only be rented.
 People are already beginning to kick be- cause of the ordinance limiting the speed of the trolley cars to eight miles an hour, AS it will undoubtedly lead to confusion in making connections at Exchange place. To comply with the ordinance it will be necessary to take twelve minutes to trip. Should traffic on any particular line be heavy making the car three or four minutes late. in order to keep on their schedule and obey the law the other cars may not wait, but must start out on time, or at best may make only a short wait, and there will be some tall kicking from people who ar rive at the center just in time to be, too late to make connections.

TIME TO PAY YOUR TAX.

During May Collector GriEGs Will Not
 be in His Ofhee evenings.
 Tax Collector Griggs issued his notice to-day for the town. city and school tax of 1894. The town rate bill is in readiness and was filed with tho select men to-day Three-fourths ot one per cent per month will be added as the law provides from May l. 1895, to any tax remaining unpaid June l, 1895. Collector Griggs has estab- lished new office hours for the month of May. hours which are customary h sll other cities. The oficR will not be open nights during that month. The office will be open from 9 o'clock in the morning and all through the noon hour il necessa> y and from 2 to 5 in the afternoon. The reason why the office will not be open nights is. that there is 8 large amount of money taken in during the evening. The banks do not care to be lnconvenienced to re- main open until such money is deposited and it is unsafe to allow large amounts to remain in his office safe. The warning the collector issued weeks ago relative to liens on the tax list of 1893 has been pro- ductive of much good. Nearly $7.000 has been paid in since on that list.

Two Officers Who Were Parading the
 Avenues in Disguise. :S
 Wednesday, evening a prominent mer- chant living on one of the avenues in the northern part of the city went to the police station and said that two suspicious look ing strangers had been seen by his servant girl lettering around his house. He started for the st ltion. he said, to inform the po- lice when he passed the two suspected men, whom he described as tough looking GUS toners. He could not get a good look at at their faces He kept watching them until they turned in a northerly direction. Chief Egan was in the station and he i'm mediately put on his coat and started toward the home of the informant. At the corner of the avenue in question he came face to face with the two'f tough customers who answered the descrip- ton giveL, und the tbree joined in good laugh, one of the two exclaiming "I told you he would go to the station and report us." The two hard looking custo- mers" proved to be officers, W. Brickel and Blakeley who. dressed in citizens clothes, were patrolling the avenues looking for burglars. The disguised officers did look tough enough as they wore caps drawn down over their their eyes. The merchant is probably congratulating himself that he did not bring his gattling gun to bear on the suspected characters.
