4 SLICK THIBF CAPTURED.
He stole Money and Clothes From His
 Employers Store.

Employers Store.
 Detective Sergeant Dennehy saw a young man standing on the corner of Grand avenue and Hamilton street about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and under one arm were stored a new pair of trousers and two suits Intui- tion told the officer that the lad had not come honestly by the goods, and so he accosted him and demanded to know where they came from. He said he had just come from New York and had brought the clothes with him; also that his name was John Fry. The detective did not believe the story and decided to take the fellow to the Grand avenue precinct. Here he was held, and later it was learned that the boy had worked for H. & P. Daniels, clothiers, 694 Chap el street, under the name of John Fry. Last Tuesday the proprietors left him in charge of the store, and when they returned few hours later Fry was missing and so was $19s25 from the drawer For some time Messrs. Dam iels had been missing clothes from their store, but they did not know who was doing it until their suspicious were aroused by the disappearance of Fry
 Still further it was learned that "Fry's'' real name is William Glanery, and that he has mother living in this city. He has only been out of the re- form school a year. In the cellar under the Chanel street store two other suits were hidden away. It is believed that Glanery put clothes in the cellar dur ing the day and having left the cellar door open would return in the evening after the store was closed and get them. He is about twenty years old, and is a slick thief.

THE SYMPHONY CONCEPT.
A Large Audience at the College Street
 Church Yesterday Afternoon.

A Large Audience at the College Street
 Church Yesterday Afternoon. \ The first concert of the New Haven Symphony orchestra at the old College street church brought out large and appreciative audience yesterday after noon. It must have been highly grat- flying to the musicians themselves, as we'll as to the promoters of the scheme. to see what an interest has been shown in the orchestra by the public and to have their efforts receive such gener- ous reward. The purpose of the organ ization, it's character and the numbers of the program have all been discussed in these columns, so that it only re- mains to commend the performance.
 Since it is symphony orchestra 1t is pleasant to be able to say that the symphony was the best number on yes- terdays program. In this, the heaviest work they have yet attempted, they were most successful. It was even, fin. ished playing and reflected great credit on the conductor, Professor Parker, not only for this spirited leading yesterday, but for the painstaking rehearsing and individual coaching which must have preceded it. What a splendid compost tion this second symphony is. Seldom heard, its beauty and spontaneity were doubly welcome yesterday. Some one of the critics has said that in it is a sort of titanic gaiety, the joy of inn mortal youth which is a characteristic quality in Beethoven. The parts were nicely balanced throughout and was quite a brilliant achievement for our youthful band.
 Mendelssohn's early overture, Re opening number This was followed by an "Eutracte" from Schubert's Rosa munde.' In both of these there were certain discrepancies of pitch in the woodwinds and horns that occurred with distressing frequency. Of course we do not want to be severe with the orchestra at this tender stage in its de- velopment, but they are given as pain ful facts in the spirit of parental cas- tigations. Aside from this the numbers were interesting and decidedly pleas ing.
 MT Troostwyk played with the or chestra the Beautiful Romance in ma- jor of Beethoven and was generously applauded. But the Nachez Tzigane Dances that followed were rapturously received They were given with dash and verve worthy of their Magyar com poser and with a finish that we fear he could not compass. MT. Troostwyk, with the privilege of a popular soloist, responded to an encore and played the Pierne .Serenade" with the string or chestra, which Marsick played here.
 Bach's great G minor Prelude and Fuge for the organ was the other or chestral number. The arrangement was by Albert of Leipzig and was schol- 1 arly and effective. Professor Parker has his men well under control now and they have become familiar with his methods, and everything seems to be happy and prospering.
 The announcements for the next con- 1 cert have not been made beyond the 1 fact that it will take place on the 23d of January and the soloists will prob ably be local pianist of whom much IS expected.

AGAINST THE JEWS.
AhIwardt Gives the Purpose of His Visit to
 United States.

New York, Dec. 5.-Herman Ahl- wardt, the anti-semitic agitator, ar rived here to-day from Germany on the steamer Spree. He said:
 1T come here for the purpose of unit ing the working classes of this coun- try against the Jews, because the lat ter form a race who do not produce any result due to their own labor. Their sole desire is to derive the bene- fits of others labors by tricks and fraud. I hold that the Jewish spirit is corrupting the gentiles. Labor is op- pressed by the Jews and it's fruits are being absorbed by them. I hope that I will be able to arouse the anti-Semitic spirit in this country which I am told is strong, but yet is slumbering. It is in its infancy. I hope that those who do not agree with me will fight me openly in a manly spirit, face to face. I will be glad to enter into controversy with any one or listen to any ques- tion or argument that may be made against the principles which advocate. I am here to defend them and shall be ever ready to give answer to any at- taeks if they may be called such"

This concern, which is one of the largest in the country, is mammoth plant comprising ten buildings. The fire broke out in the wet room of lle bleachery, which is a four story struc- ture about 100 feet in length. For some days the bleachery has been rlln- ming without oil and tonight the watchman, Jerry Reardon, was about tos enter the pit with his 'spetticoat lamp.

IN THE NICK OF TIME
THE POLICE QUELL 4 SERIOUS VA
 TER STREET DISTURBANCES.

Charles Flanagan and Will am Winter
 field Jugged While Threatening to Kill
 the Formers Step-Son.
 Charles Flanagan and William Win terield, two extremely unpeaceful char acters, run amuck of the police last night and this morning they will have to appear in the city court and answer to the double charge of drunkenness and breach of the peace. And it is likely that a more serious charge than either of these may be preferred against Winterfield, as it is alleged that he threatened to assault man.
 About o'clock last night he and Flanagan repaired to the formers house on Water street, near Custom House Square, and commenced to talk defamatory to Mrs. F'lannagan's repu- tation in that woman's presence. This was not at all tolerable to John Me- Farland, a son of Mrs. Flanagan by her first husband, and he objected in strong terms. This enraged the two men and, according to a statement made by Mcfarland to Patrolman Doughan, Winterfield whipped out a re- volver and threatened to perforate his economy with lead drops. He further stated that Flanagan had threatened to do him up several times because he objected to his mother living with him.
 Winterfield and Flanagan have both servedAterms at Wethersfield and they are known as bad men. When Mrs. Flanagan took a second leap into the matrimonial world she did not exactly know the kind of man she was to fetch up against When her young son, Mcfarland, who was living In New York at the time, heard of the matter and learned that Flanagan was not all that a good man should be, but was all that such a man should not be, he entered vigorous objection to his mother living with him. On this ac- comfortable for his stepson whenever an opportunity was afforded.
 The row was pretty nearly at it's height when the officers reached the house, and Patrolman Doughan be- lieves they were just in time to pre- vent a murder. Both of the men show ed fight when arrested, but the officers knew who they had to handle and gave them no chance to cause any great trouble. The men were hand- cuffed and brought to the lookup in the patrol wagon. Officers Good, Doughan and Powers arrested the men

He sent word to New Haven that he was not injured. He assisted in the work of taking out the dead bodies of the fireman and en- gineer. His relatives here were alarm ed when they heard of the accident, as they had reason to believe that he would take the train in Question. Mr. Damn will next month start for Hayti. where he is to supervise the construc- ton of a railroad from the interior to the coast for B. New York company, in which he is interested.

If tYasa Gnod Rattle.

New York, Dec. 5.-Frank Erne of Buffalo proved himself one of the clev- crest men of his class by boxing a ten-round draw with the colored feath- erweight, George Dixon, before the new Manhattan Athletic club tonight. It was one of the best battles seen in this vicinity and was clean and scientific exhibition throughout. Dixon's rushes proved, with a few exceptions. futile, owing to the clever methods of his op- ponents. When it came to fighting Erne was quite a match for his an- tagonist.

CANNOT CHANGE DECISION
so OINSISTs ATTORNEY CHASE ABOUT
 MODERATOR TRACE,S ACTION.

Tho sscoad Ward trouble Stin Unsettled
 The Dem scrats Bound to Stick by the
 Position I hey Y, ok the Night of the Eiec-
 tion--A New Phase In the Trouble Which
 is Likely to Create a Stir-All the Present
 Incumbents May Hold Over.
 The second act of the political farce which has grown out of the trouble in, the Second ward was played in the First ward last night before a small, but interested audience. The act was a short one. but it lasted long enough for the democrats to demonstrate that they intended to stick by the decision they took the night of the election, and not admit the legality of the repub- lican city ballots cast in the Second ward. Moderator John Trace for the democrats. Counter Carr, who is affil- iated with the same panty; P. W.. Chase, the defeated democratic nomi- nee for alderman; Senator Lyman H, Johnsor General Registrar Frederick L. Averill, James E. McGann and a number of others were present at the session. Attorney Chase claims that Moderator John Trace cannot now change his decision that the republican ballots are illegal. However, it is the general opinion that Trace, inasmuch as the returns have not yet been filed, can change his decision just as a judge of the civil. superior or supreme courts, before such decision has been filed. Sev- eral democratic lawyers agree with this opinion. A new phase in the difficulty sprung forth last night, and it is said to be strictly legal one, too. Provided the trouble is not soon ssttled the pres ent commissioners in the police and fire boards, whose terms expire the first Monday in next February, will be compelled to hold over until their sue cessors have been duly declared elect ed, according to the returns of the full twelve wards, and also qualify. Ac- cording to this Police Commissioners Prince and Gilhuly and Fire Commls- sicner Parsons would remain as hold overs, and Messrs. Clancy, Ullman and Sanborn would be left out in the cold waiting for Moderator Trace to order Counter Carr to sign the Second ward returns. This new phase will be greet ed with open arms by the "Gilhulyites,' Y Vas it will leave the bounded trades in soda waters still a member of the police beard. The question now arises, will the "Clanceyites" allow this. or will thsy bring sufficient pressure to bear on the men who are holding off on a teohnica1ity to sign the returns and thus positively settle the matter. Of course all this brings up the Clancey- G.lhuly melee once more. Concerning the board of public works. there would be no holdovers in this body as Messrs. States and Johnson were renominated.
 James J. Carr. democratic candidate for registrar of vital statistics, said yesterday that he would ask for a re- count of the ballots cast in the Third and Fourth wards, but as yet no formal step has been taken by him.
 R. B. Farren has decided not to con test MT. Baldwin's right to the town agency.

FIGHT OF THE GAS TRUST
JUDGE SHOW.4LTER DECIDES IN
 FAVOR OF THE COMPANIES.

He Said That the Laws of Illinois Cave
 Recourse Without Being Obliged to Re-
 sort to the Courts Decision Is an Impor-
 tant one.
 Chicago, Dec. 5.-The attorneys for the Chicago Gas companies this morn ing concluded their argument before Judge Showalter in answer to the ap- pllcation of w. Pitt Barrows for an injunction to prevent consolidation. Attorney Joline of New York began with an elaboration of ex-Attorney General Hunts argument yesterday on the statutory right of the four com panies to consolidate under the amen datory antitrust law of 1889, which is interpreted as not repeating acts which permit consolidation. William Allen Butler of New York made brief ar gument, mainly on the same line,
 s. Gregory closed for plaintiff this afternoon. MT. Gregory argued that the companies should be restrained from combining. He declared that it was contrary to the principles of demo- cratic government that great corpora- tions should combine to harrass the common people. At the conclusion of the arguments United States Judge Showalter surprised everybody, includ- ing counsel on both sides, by deciding the case at once. It was thought he would take the case, which involves some nice points at law, under advise- ment for at least two months. The de- cision was in favor of the gas com panies and according to it they can now combine when and where they please.
 MT. Barrows had asked for an injunc- tion to restrain the defendant com panies from combining, as he under stood their purpose to be under the new reorganization plan. This injunc- tion Judge Showalter refused to grant construction to be placed on the Illi- nos law in regard to corporations, which was passed in 1872 and amended in 1889. The amending clause provided that all companies now doing busi- ness in Illinois were the words of the law-could not consolidate in groups of more than companies The defendants claimed that as the original law was passed in 1872 all amendments must date back to that time and that as the Chicago Gas companies had been combined and incorporated since 1872, they were legally united. The plain tiffs claimed that the law must be strictly construed and that all com panies incorporated between 1872 and 1889 came under it's ban. This view of the case Judge Showalter outline to agree with. Moreover, he devoted part of his decision, which was verbal, to discussion of the rights of Pitt Bar rows, as a bondholder, to come in and ask that the companies be- restrained from combining.
 On this point, also, he declared him. self in favor of the gas companies. The court could not see how MT. Bar rows rights as bondholder would be ieopardized by a combination of the gas companies. I'm any case, said Judge Showalter, the laws of Illinois gave recourse without being obliged to resort to the United States court. EAn action of quo warranto could be brought and in fact an action of some what similar character was now pend- ing in the state courts.
