ROBINSON MAY RECOVER
10TH FfMILIES IN 4 TRAGEDY MAINTAIN STRICT RETfCENCE,

The Police Are Suspicious of the Case Be-
 heVing That it is Similar to That of the
 Hannigan AHair-The Man Who is Anx-
 ious to Talk Cannot be Seen by the Re-
 porters.
 New York; Dec. 30.--Willlam Robin son, who was shot this morning at his home by Edward HallenbaclS, was resting easily at midnight in Roosevelt hospital. The doctors think he will re- cover, It is learned that Hallenback, who lives in Brooklyn, went to Robin sons home this morning and knocked at the door. Robinson appeared and Hallenback drew a revolver and fired, shooting Robinson inthe head. Robin- son fell, as if he had been killed and Hallenback, who had dropped his hat, ran out of the house bareheaded.
 As already stated Hallenback was af- forwards captured and when brought to Robinson's bedside fired three more shots at his victim, two of which struck the latter. The police have been making futile inquiries as to the cause of the shooting.
 Both the prisoner and the Robinson family maintain an inexplicable reti- cence regarding the whole affair. Hal lenback declared he had never seen Robinson before he shot him, but was sorry he had not killed him. At the Yorkville court Hallenback was com mitted without bail to await the result of Robinson's injury. The police thought the motive was similar to which led Hannigan to shot Mann.
 The one man in the case anxious to talk was Jeremiah Conway, hack driver, who was locked up as a wit ness. The police refused to allow re- porters to see him. Halenback's wife when seen refused to say anything as to the cause of the shooting, but said that at the proper season it would come ont

Special Meeting Last Evening to Consider
 1.-two Factions in the Church--Salaries
 in Arrears.
 A sensation has been caused in the Dixwell avenue Congregational church by the resignation of the pastor, Rev. A. P. Miller, read at last Sundays morn ing service. MT. Miller had intimated this step at the Christian Endeavor meeting a few nights previous, and so the church on Sunday morning was crowded with the largest congregation ever assembled in the church. It is stated that the reason of MT. Miller resignation is some difficulty over sal ary. He now receives HOO per year, but some few members of the church have expressed wish to reduce the salary on account of the hard times i'll the last few years. The pastors salary is now $500 in arrears, but this, it is said, has nothing to do with the resig- nation, which will not, in case MT. Mill until July l. 1896
 A meeting of the deacons of the church was held last evening to consid- CT the resignation, but those present would give out nothing in regard to the action taken It is stated on good au- thority that the majority of the mem- bers of the church are very reluctant to have the pastor resign, as he has done so much for the church and is so thoroughly in touch with the church work that it is thought his place will ba very hard to fill When he first took charge of the past0rate the member ship was only thirty-sevent but at pres ent, under his efficient leadership, it has grown to over 200. Although MT. Miller is firm in his purpose to leave if there cannot be proper harmony in the church yet it is stated that if the church con- siders it for its best interests that he stay he will do So. although at a great sacrifice to his own interests.

IdIIluils
 Greenwich, Dec. 30,-Robert Londen manager of the Sound View Sanitarium, to-ninght said he had no idea what the result would be of the investigation in which Governor Coffin had been officially interested. He added that while he was willing to abide by the laws of the state of Connecticut he thought the authorities were making up a one-sided view of the story of the confined persons at the sanitarium. He said the inmates there he supposed had the proper commitment papers. He would not admit that any of his pa tients had been transferred from Amit- vile, N. Y. He said he believed it was a scheme or the part of politicians to break him up and that the asylum was conducted as well as Blooming dale or any other like resort.

 the General Committee win Make n Full
 Report on Friday Afternoon.
 The New Haven Police Mutual Aid association will hold it's regular quar- terly meeting in the city court room next Friday afternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock. The indications are that there will be a large attendance, for though this is a regular session, considerable special business will be transacted and it will be of importance and interest, inasmuch as it will be mostly in refer ence to the police ball, which is sched" uled to take place at the Hyperion the ater three weeks from tomorrow night.
 Captain Wrinn, who is at the head of the general committee, has been doing some effective hustling for the past two or three weeks and as result about ali of the requisite arrangements for the second ball in the history of the department have been completed and the committee is ready to report to the association. Some time ago the tickets for the event were distributed among all the members of the force and many have already been sold.
 The merchants about the city have bsen generous in taking the tickets, but the men have not yet finished the can- vass of their beats and therefore hope to dispose of morG The tickets are g each, which is the same as charged at the last ball. This time however, the number of persons allowed admittance on one ticket has been limited. At the first ball the tickets read, Admit gen. tleman with ladies" The result of this was an overflow of ladies. Many men brought four, five and in some n- stances six ladies, and a crush was oc- casioned.
 The number of ladies admitted on one ticket this time has been restricted to two, and it is thought that the ball will be much more enjoyable. The Hyperi- on will be fixed up in splendid style for the ball, and even now the arrange ments are almost complete for its trans forma ton. The police fully expect to do themselves proud

Adams is a cousin of Constable Fred

Adams is cousin of Constable Fred
Stonestreet, and when the murder was
announced Adams became suspicious of
the watch and turned it over to the po
lice, who have had the watch positively
identified as belonging to Mrs. Matson.
It has even been identified by Mr.. Mat
son himself.
The sheriff claims to have two wit
nesses who helped Frank Novels make
the slung- shot with which Mrs. Matson
was killed. An apron of the same mate
rial as the rags used on the handle of the
slung-shot has within a few days been
located in Mrs. Novels possession.
The officers in view of all these facts
believe they have evidence enough to
convict at least one of the trio, and it is
only a matter of time until all the details
of the murder will be known and the
mystery which has surrounded the aw-
full crime will be solved.
