 The case of Edward F.

 After co"Tt Walton and his wife held a consultation in the city attorneys office, but before it was finished there came near being a family quarrel and no definite settlement was made.
 Mrs. Walton said she was able to support herself but she wanted Walton to support his child. During this con- versation Walton addressed his wife as Miss Brooks and this angered the wo- man so that she flew at Walton and threatened to scratch his eyes out.
 This was prevented by City Attorney Matthewman, who had to act as refe- rec and peacemaker He then told Wal ton that he must either make some ar engagements for the support of his child and could do 50 out of court without

ARRIVED IN THE HARBOR.

The New Launch Gertrude-Now at
 Whites Dry Dock--A Look at the
 Boat
 Captain Kirk of Hampstead Harbor arrived here yesterday with his new launch, Gertrude, which is now hauled out on Whites dry dock Captain Kirk bought the Gertrude last March from T. T. Ta'ber of this city. The boat was formerly sloop and as such proved very fast. She was successfully sailed for several years by MT. Taber under the colors of the New Haven Yacht club. MT. Taber was for two years commodore of the Glen Cove Yacht club and a member of the Cor inthian fleet of New Rochelle. He has designed many noteworthy boats, among them being the racing cat boat Wenonah,
 Captain Kirk has added to the Ger trude sixteen feet amidships and a four foot elliptical stern. completely chang ing the appearance of the boat. She is now fifty-eight feet long and has a beam of sixteen feet six inches, making her comfortable and seaworthy.
 Captain Charles Foster of this city is now at work supplying the boat with two Globe gas engines of ten horse power each, with a pair of twen- ty-siX-inch Foster reversing propellers, dispensing with the Globe reversing gear, cog wheels, etc. She will also have patent thrust bearing, reducing friction to minimum and increasing the horse power fully 10 per cent. Cap tain Kirk intends starting for Florida as soon as his boat is completed. He will spend the winter cruising in south ern waters.

THEADM1N1sTRATIoNc CRITICISED

Rev, pr. Hamlin Blames Secretary
 Olney for Not Interfering in the Ar
 menian Masaores,
 Rev, Dr. Cyrus Tamlin, founder of Roberts college in Turkey, and for thlr- ty-llye years a missionary in that coun- try, gave an address in Center church chapel yesterday morning on "The Ar menian Outrages." After giving the history of the outrages pr. Hamlin criticized our government severely.
 Our government could have acted and put stop to the troubles If Secretary Olney had protected Ameri- can property, Turkey would have yield ed. I know the Turks well enough to say that if force had been used, the sul- tan would have yielded immediately
 If we pray for the Turks, we should also pray for our government which has shown great weakness towards Turkey Our flag is not treated with respect, It was torn down, and the servant of 8 house clubbed to death and our officials did not demand any satisfaction. Instead letters were writ ten home, announcing the pleasant re- lations between the United States and the sultan.
 Tt is painful that Secretary Olney has descended to newspaper politics to deny testimony given us by Dr. Grace Kimball. The sultan pronounced her a liar and Secretary Olney then sends out a statement telling how she was protected. But it reveals the falsehood of it all. Olney, 1t seems, does not know enough to distinguish between truth and absurdity. He says the American losses are nothing compared with those of England, France and Italy"
 Ill closing, the speaker said: T hope, also, the time of Secretary Olney and l Grover Cleveland is nearly up." Dr. Hamlln has been staying with his daughter, Mrs. T. G. Ladd of 14O Howe street, in this city, but left for Hartford yesterday noon
 Dr. Hamlin gave the opinion that the Turks would continue their massacres and that American missionaries would suffer as the result

Court of Common Pleas--Criminal Side Judge Hotchkiss.

William Rush of this city was yes terday in the court of common pleas, criminal side, Judge Hotchkiss on the bench, acquitted of the charge of over driving brought by Stephen J. Tracy of Derby. The facts in the case are these:
 On July 29 last Rush hired a horse from Tracy He was to keep the ani- nal a certain time on trial and if he liked it was to buy 1t for $40. On July 30 Rush drove the horse to Milford, and the next day back to Derby via New Haven. At that time Rush resided in Derby, where for ten years he pursued the wholesale fruit business, and dur ng all that period bore the reputation of an honest and industrious man.
 When Rush arrived in Derby he told Tracy that the horse was not as rep resented, and that he should not buy 1t, Tracy therefore had Rush arrested on several charges all of which were nolled in the city court save that of overdriving. The fact that Rush had been hiring horses for ten years of the liverymen of Derby, Ansonia and shel- ton, and had never been complained of before, was brought out at the trial by several witnesses.
