MORRIS COVE CHAPELs.
Two Church Buildings Likely to b

Two Church Buildings Likely to be
 Erected-Methodists Were First in
 the Field-Subscriptions Solicited,
 There seems to be a clash at Morris Cove between members of the various denominations which propose to erect churches at that place. For many years religious services have been held in the white school house at the lower end of the Cove, but in recent years as the num- Der of summer residents has increased, the school house has been found inade- quate to accommodate all who desire to attend religious services, and as a re- suit it was suggested some time ago that chapel be erected.
 The movement was started by the Methodists and lot for the site of church was donated by Edward M. Clark public meeting was called on January 20 to take action on the build ing of the proposed chapel and only one vote was recorded against instructing the trustees to proceed with the erec- tion of the building. The trustees to whom the lot was deeded by MT. Clark are Henry s. Sinner, Lyman Thomp- son, G. Hastings, D. A. Morris and c. B. Shepard.
 Plans for the new building were pre- sented and favored by all the trustees except Messrs. Thompson and Morris, who offered their resignations. Final ly another special meeting of those in- terested in the erection of a chapel was called and the former vote instructing the trustees to proceed with the build ing was rescinded.
 Messrs. Shepard, Steiner and Hast ings then decided to go on with the building of the chapel and secured a lot at the corner of Ocean and Shepard streets Another meeting was called and Edward Ward was elected chair man of the building committee. The offer of Hudson Forbes to donate lot near the Pequot club house was &C., cepted and the meeting voted to build 8 chapel thereon.
 The Methodists have already broken ground for their chapel, and work on the foundations is now going on. They hay already secured a considerable amount of money to begin the work and solicit subscriptions to help com- plete the building.

George to New Ha- ven He will speak before the Mems club of the United church next Sunday evening, and will describe the Republic for Boys and Girls which he has found- ed at Freeville, N. Y. This movement has attracted wide attention and is the most unique and successful attempt yet made to reach boys. In this republic two hundred and more boys have or ganized themselves into a Junior Unit ed States. Taking the constitution for their basis, they elect their own presi- dent, cabinet, senate, judges, police, etc, and thus reproduce in miniature our country in all it's phases.
 Illustrated articles on this movement are in the Review of Reviews for May and in the Outlook for October 31, 1896. These may be seen at the free public library.

NO GREAT CHANGES TO BE MADE


 In the Mechanical Outfit of the Manu
 lecturers Street Railroad-The Road
 More Than Meets the Expectations of
 It's Projectors.
 Representatives of the Consolidated road and the Manufacturers Street railEpad of Fair Haven went over the latter's line yesterday afternoon to in- Vest1gate the condition of the road and to see about certain minor changes in construction that have been suggested. 1t is probable that no changes will be found necessary, but if any changes are made they will be of a minor nature. Some time ago while the Manufactur- CTS Street railroad was yet incomplete, the management was requested by the Consolidated road to make certain changes, and it was intimated that un- less these changes were made the run ming of Consolidated cars on the street railroad would be forbidden, but after the. latter road had been looked over by representatives of both roads the proposed prohibition was withdrawn by the Consolidated road The plan of combining the mechanical workings of steam and electric systems on the same road is new idea, and it is stated by those prominent in the Manufacturers Street railroad that their line is the first in the country that has attempted such plan. From this fact it was found necessary, after traffic on the new road had begun to make certain changes to make the combination work smoothly
 The Manufacturers Street railroad has proved of great advantage to the manufacturers along the line and has more than fulfilled the expectations of it's projectors.
 The New Haven Rolling Mill com | pany has not decided to abandon the | use of the new road as was stated in an afternoon paper yesterday, nor do | they contemplate doing so. Business at the rolling mills is, however, dull and | for this reason material brought in on | the cars has been piled along the | tracks, there being no demand for it's use, as there would be in a good 1yusi- 1 ness season. The firm ha shad recourse | to truck wagons to do some hauling recently, owing to the crowded condi- | tion of the yards, resulting from dull | business.
 The motor used to furnish power on the new road was built by the General Electric company, and was on exhibi- tion at the worlds fair. It Is of the same type as those used at the Ba1ti- more and Ohio tunnel, and those used by the Consolidated road at Nantasket Beach, the only difference being that the motor used on the Fair Haven road is smaller than the others.

TAXING THE COLLEGES.
The Wide Influence of the Williams
 town Decision.

The Wide Influence of the Williams
 town Decision.
 Apropos to the supreme court decis- ion that the Williams college profess sors' houses shall be taxed is a snappy letter from President Carter to the Yale News, bearing on the similar suit of New Haven's assessors against Yale:
 q have no doubt that unless the su- preme court judges do decide the case before them in our favor the assessors, under the leadership of the acute grad uate of the college who advises them, will include dormitories, gymnasiums and everything else except the college chapel and the building used for recit- ation rooms, and possibly the library. This is part of a general movement in the direction of socialism, and if Mass achusetts gives way to it we may ex- pect to see within the next twenty-five years our college and church property taxed. My impression has been that New York state would be the first to give way"
 If it applies at Williams and Yale it does at Harvard, and the increase in Harvard's tax bills in Cambridge will be something handsome. The Cam bridge assessors are already planning a standardization Record.

OBITU
Death of Hugh Doherty, the Well Known
 Veteran Policeman.

In the death of Hugh Doherty, the veteran policeman, who passed away suddenly Sunday evening at his home, 1855 Davenport avenue, of heart disease, the community suffers 6 loss, none the less keen because in the performance of his public and private duties he trod the humber paths of endeaVor. What ever task was assigned him, he per formed his work well and faithfully. No more need be said as to the man her of man he Was,
 As an active member of the police force for twenty-five years the de- ceased was a conspicuous figure in New Haven, and he numbered his friends by the hundreds. Fearless in the perform ance of his duty and always exercising rare discretion, his bravery and judg- ment had become recognized not only in the department of which he was a valued member but by citizens gen. erally.
 Among his friends the deceased was affectionately known as Sergeant" Doherty. The title was no empty hon. or, having been earned in Her British Majesty's service in India in the times when military duty in that land meant that every man serving under the royal standards of England should be compos- ed of the stuff of which heroes are made. When he retired from the ser vice to come to this country it was as q sarg major of the Eighty-eighth reGiment
 The deceased was born in Ireland in 1888. He came to this country and set tied in New Haven, and on March 8 1874, was appointed 8 regular patrol man, being retired February 15, 1892 since which time he has done but little though retaining his vigorous health quite until the end.
 He leaves @ widow, three sons and three daughters. One son, William G.. is 8 policeman here. Another is Mich ael J., the ball player, who was captain of the Augusta, Me, team the last two seasons. The daughters are Mrs. John Conklin, Mrs. Augustave I4ofacker and | Miss Margaret.
 The funeral will be held Wednesday at 9 o'clock at St. Johns Catholic | church Interment at St. Bernard's | cemetery.
