CHARITABLE ENTERTAINMENT.


Charity that is practical meets gen
eral support. There has probably new
er been a time in the history of this
city when there was a greater need
than at present for the dspensation of
practical charity. 1t is gratifying to
note how equal the women are to the
demand and how helpful their charit-
able affairs have proven since their
realization of how many needy ones
there are throughout the city Hardly
week passes that does not find a tea,
dance or fair given in the cause of char
ity. OF this order will be the reception
and dance given by the ST. AIMS guild
at Warner hall Tonight, the full par
ticulars of which have previously been
published in the columns of this paper.
Also meriting general support is a
similar event for charity to be given
on the evening of February 20 under
the auspices of St Roses guild con-
nected with st. Mary's church, The af-
fair will take the form of a Martha
Washington dance. In all probability
the women of the guild will be attired
in colonial costume. A Martha Wash
ington quadrille will be danced by the
following ladies': Miss Edith Scranton,
Miss Rosetta WEIGH, Miss Margaret
Swain, Miss Annie Dunn, Miss Mary
Daily, Miss Josie Maher, Miss Susie
Walker, Miss Moriarty, Miss Bern
hardt, Mrs. Henry Spang, Mrs. James
Martin, Mrs. John Mcfarland, Miss
Shannahan and Miss Mamie Clarity.

IN WEST HAVEN TONIGHT.

Tonight at the town hall in West
Haven will occur the reception and
dance to be given by the Rowing club.
Preparations, which have been going
on extensively, are now completed, and
it is almost safe to predict that the
event will outrival any happening of a
social order given this winter at the
hall
The Rowing club, which is of recent
organization, will probably be better
known as the Alpha crew, connected
with the West Side club. 1t came off
victorious in a closely contested race
with the Yantic crew at Lake Whitney
last summer. The race was an event
of Labor day and one of the annual
fetes Of the West Side club. Mr. Ar
thur D. Andruss, Mr.. Cole and Mr.. II.
Mather Brooks are those who compose
the committee in charge of to-night's
event.
Tickets have sold rapidly and a good
assemblage is assured

DE4TH OF RICHARD j. MOVIE.
Occurred Suddenly at Clinton Last Night
Heart Disease Was the Cause.


Clinton, Feb. "a man who said he
was Richard J. Moyle, and a represen-
tative of the Evening Leader company
of New Haven, arrived in town early
this evening and went to the clinton
hotel, where he registered. After going
to his room and undressing he called to
Landlord Pratt and said that he felt
ill. Dr. Reynolds of this place was
summoned and found the man breath
ing with difficulty. Before treatment
could be applied the man died. He was
about forty years of age, wore suit
of dark clothing and had side whiskers.
His card, which was printed, showed
him to be connected with the news
paper in New Haven, and that he lived
at No. 1874 Court street, New Haven.
Medical Examiner Reynolds tonight
sent word to New Haven regarding the
mans death.
Further details are as follows: After
registering Moyle sat down in the Of
flee and lit a cigar Landlord Pratt
and his wife went to church and when
they returned Moyle was still in the
office. They sat and Grated a short
time and about $50 o'clock Moyle re-
tired At 10 o'clock Pratt was awak-
ened by Moyle, who asked him to get
up. Pratt went down to the Office with
Moyle, who pulled out his card from
his pocket and handed it to the hotel
keeper, saying: If anything happens to
me notify these people," He then said
that he feared that he was going to
have one of his old attacks. He COM
planned of being unable to breathe and
said that he had a sharp pain in the
side. Landlord Pratt assisted the map
back to him room again and sum-
moned the physician.
Medical Examiner Reynolds decided
that the mans death resulted from
heart disease. The remains have beer
given in charge of an undertaken and
await the arrival of the mans friends
from New Haven.
Mr.. Moyle was connected with an en-
cyclopedia bureau at the address he
gave in New Haven.

A L1TTERY FORGERY EXposED,

A LITTERY FORGERY EXPOSED,
That active and acute DeVonshire an
tiquary, DR.. Brushfleld of Budleish Sal
terton, who has done so much for the
history of his country has communlca-
ted to the transactions Of a local socie-
ty an important discovery. No scrap
of Elizabethan gossip Is better known
than the story which Collier printed, in
1851, from "a Letter of 1892" telling
how "Sir Walter Raleigh hath been too
inward with one Of her Majesty's
maids; I fear to say who, but If you
should guess at Z, T. you may not be
far wrong" On this letter the success
sive biographers of Raleigh have built
an editice of conjecture. Unfortunate
ly the story, which involves the dis
grace of Sir Walter and o premature
Imprisonment in the Tower, is as diff
cult as it is picturesque. Mr., Gosse, in
his Life of Raleigh" in 1886, was the
first to suggest that the whole letter
might be forgery, but Mr., Stebbing
and others who have followed him have
relied upon its accuracy. But DIR.
Brushfield, who has found and facsim-
lied Golfers draft of the letter-no hui
man being has ever seen the original
settles the doubt, and shows the whole
thing to have been a deliberate inven-
ton. In what strange condition must
the mind of a scholar be who delibe-
rately FORCES historical evidence to give
zest or color to a dull passage of the
chronicle! 1t is scarcely possible to
comprehend 1t in sane man. 1t is like
cheating yourself when YOU are PLAYING
patience. But it is possible that John
Payne Collier whose contributions to
the photography of English literature
We're more considerable than Is some
times allowed, had streak of insanity
in his nature.-London Saturday Re

true and worthy of honor and esteem.

spoke of the loss the bereaved family
had sustained in the death of so esti-
mable a mother and of the many evil
dences of her worth of character dis
played in her long and useful life.

beautiful pillow inscribed Mother, -
and an anchor from the grandchildren

Speculation I'm Stocks Dull Yesterday Save
in Industrials.

in Industrials.
New York, Feb. 9.-Speculation was
extremely dull to-day with the sole
exception of the industrial group, in
which there was free selling for the
short account as well as more or less
liquidation by holders in consequence
of the probing into the affairs Of the
trusts by the state senate investigating
committee.
The short rise in Sugar just previous
to the close yesterday proved to have
been nothing more than an effort on
the part of certain interests to get out
additional short lines at higher range.
The stock declined from 1131s to 1113a
and closed at the lowest prices Of the
| day.
| Tobacco made an equally sharp de-
| cline, opening at 71& and later selling
at 695s. Leather preferred yielded about
| a point Despite the testimony of
| Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles OF the
| Sugar Trust showing the enormous
earnings of the property holders Of the
shares display uneasiness because Of
the fear that the Lexow investigation
will lead to unfavorable legislation
The announcement that Charles r.
Flint of the United States Rubber COM
pany will be called upon next to testi-
| fly before the committee was followed
| by a decline of 21s@2A in the common
and preferred stocks, respectively. The
| trading, however, was light, only 1,20C
shares of the common and 974 of the
preferred changing hands.
Consolidated Gas was sold down a
point on the introduction Of bill at
/ Albany authorizing the board of alder
men of this city to look into the FEAST
| bility of municipal ownership or gas
| plants. The railway list offered a SHARP
| contrast to the weakness of the indus
trials. Despite the dizziness railway
stocks held remarkably firm. Read
| ing was the only stock that could be
called weak, and the decline in this in
| stance was less than point. As rule
after merely fractional concessions at
| the opening prices improved y to Y per
| cent. Lake Shore, on purchases of SOC
shares, advanced IA to 154H.
The dealings were almost entirely
professional and the foreigners did next
| to nothing. Speculation closed quiet,
| the tone being steady for the railway
list and weak for the industrials.
| Net changes in the industrials and
coalers show losses Of u to rs per
cent, Sugar leading. The railway list
scored advances of A@lA per cent.
| Lake Shore leading.
| The bond market was strong in tone
| Sales were $1,94 900.

ported by Prince 6 Whitley, bankers

PATROLMAN RESIGNS.
rendered to Mayor Bailey and at Once
Accepted...The Statement of Mr..
Flaherty About the Case.

Patrolman Martin Flaherty yester-
day handed his resignation to Mayor
Bailey and it was accepted. The resig-
nation was asked for. 1t is alleged that
Mr. Flaherty shot at Lieutenant Zang
and Patrolman Neuls Wednesday
night.
Mr.. Flaherty was appointed in Oc-
tober, 1888, by T. V. Powderly, then
mayor, and has been a member of the
police force ever since. The following
statement of the case has been sent to
the Tribune by Mr. Flaherty:
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Last evenings Truth and Times
contained statements purporting to be an
account of a shooting affray that took
place between me and two brother Of
ficers on Prospect avenue Wednesday
night. The statements in both those pa
pers grossly misrepresents the affair, and
to say the least does me a great injustice.
While l frankly admit that a little es-
capade, in which l figured to some ex-
tent took place at the time and place
mentioned, yet l deny emphatically that
any officers We're present as was stated.
l had occasion to visit some friends in the
Ninneteenth ward after being on duty all
day and on my way home about 8 p. m.
a party walked after me a block or more
occasionally laughing and jeering and
in order to divert their pursuit L inad-
vertently fired shot into The ground.
The mayor called me to account for this
the next day and he as kindly consent
ed to investigate the matter, which is all
/ ask. Hoping the press will reserve I'M
just comment until my case is honestly
considered by the proper official.
Yours respectfully,
Martin Flaherty.

two persons. Mrs. Howell had a large
pan of boiling water on the stove and
the bottom of this pan suddenly drop
