Plan to Hold Their Yearly Meeting In
New Haven.
The principal officers of the Connect
icut Music Teachers association have
held several important meetings within
the past fortnight, and plans for the
coming festival in May have been prac-
tically settled upon, The dates for the
festival are May II, IS and 10 at the
Hyperion, New Haven. The festival
throughout will be marked by features
never before introduced at a festival by
the association. Moreover, the events
will be more meritorious and on much
more ambitions and elaborate scale.
! There will be an air of professionalism
over all, and greater care has been
given to the arranging of each event
than ever before.
The festival will as usual open with
a business meeting. Instead of the
usual organ recital on the, afternoon of
the first day, and which heretofore has
been rather dull event, there will be a
choir and organ concert, one-third of
the time being devoted to chorus choirs,
the second third to church quartets and
the remainder of the time to organists.
| 1t Is pIOpdDle lldl lllS COICpIl Will pG

promenade at the Hyperion will follow
and close the first day.
The second day of the festival will
open with a business meeting, to be fol-
lowed by a lecture. AT II a. m an I'M
usually good miscellaneous concert will
take up the time left in the morning
! session, with a song recital to follow at
8 O'Clock in the afternoon. A very beau
! tiful chamber concert will be given at 4
and in the evening a symphony concert,
| similar to that of last year, will be
| heard.
The composers concert is set for
| Wednesday. All competitors are re-
quested to send their compositions to
the judges no later than March is. The
lecture in the forenoon will be by a
noted lecturer upon the work to be per-
formed in the evening. A piano recital
is announced for the afternoon, the
pianist to be announced later. The
o'clock concert will be given by cho-
rus of women's voices, the society to be
announced later.
| For the evening it is possible that an
| operate work by the best company in
! New York will close the festival
| Added to these events will be an ex-
! hibition of the newest inventions and
| the novelties in musical instruments,
admission to which will be by coupon
attached to the regular ticket.

Twenty Cases of Homicide-Oth-
er Gruesome Statistics.

lWelty-hlVe cases OIL HOHlClQe-Oln-
er Gruesome Statistics.
Waterbury, Jan. THE Republican
will tomorrow publish a review of the
homicides in Connecticut during 1885,
The summary will show that, not
twenty-five cases of homicide took
place in the state during the year. The
first one occurred in Waterbury Janu-
airy Z, when one of the guests at a
Polish wedding was shot and killed,
and the last one was at Voluntown
December 49, when father in a fit
of jealous religious frenzy hacked his
son to death with an axe. Homicides
We're committed every month, with
the exception of March and August.
The largest number assigned to any
month was four and that number oc-
CURED in January, May and June; one
each in September and November; and
three in February. The longest period
which was exempted from a homicide
was from July q to September IS.
Geographically the homicides were
scattered over the state, and the only
county which does not figure in the list
is Windham. Of the twenty-five cases
nine are credited to New Haven coun-
ty, four to Hartford county, three each
to Fairfield, Litchfield and Middlesex
counties, and one to Tolland county.
Fourteen of the homicides were COM
| mitted in cities and eleven in smaller
communities or country towns. The
! fourteen were distributed as follows:
New Haven, six: Waterbury and DAN
bury, two each, and Hartford, Bridge
port New Britain and New London,
| one each.
OF the twenty-five victims seventeen
We're males and eight were females. In
| three cases wives were killed by hus-
| bands, in three cases children were
killed by parents, in two cases parents
were killed by children, and in one case
brother was the alleged slayer. In
one case the killing was done by wo-
| man.
| One of the slayers was found guilty
| of murder in the first degree and was
executed Three were convicted of
murder in the second degree, and were
committed to state prison for life.
Three We're found guilty of manslaugh-
| ter, two being sentenced to prison and
| one to Jail. -Four are now awaiting
| trial, two of them being under indict-
ment for murder in the first degree.
| Two committed suicide shortly after
| their crimes One escaped and has
never been captured. In six cases in
| which arrests were made the charges
were nolled, two on the ground that
| the killing was accidental and two on
the ground of insufficient evidence. In
one case the slayer was acquitted on
| the ground of insanity. In one case no
arrests were made because of INSULT
cient evidence, and in two cases be-
cause the slayers were obviously in
