TEACHERS, ANNUITY GUILD.
The Coming Entertainment at United
 Church Chapel.

I address my American friends know ing their love for their sister republic, La Belle France" and their aptitude and desire to learn its language and that many of them speak it fiuently. I am very anxious to do something for my fellow teachers and in the interest of the Preachers Annuity Guild" our worthy association. I am we'll aware it will not be in vain that I appeal to American generosity. The past summer proved to me more than ever before their readiness in lending helping hand when the object is deserving. For more than two weeks I had the pleasure of soliciting contributions as member of the board of Grace hospital, in behalf of the brave soldiers.
 Everywhere I was cordially received and met with the most generous re- sponse. This warm welcome encourages me to hope that I will not be disap- pointed.
 On Wednesday, April 26th, with the assistance of my pupils and under the auspices of the members of my "Cercle Brunetier," I will give an entertainment in French, at the United church chapel Temple street This "Soiree Francaise' is for the sole benefit of 'The Teachers Annuity Guild" it being my wish to in crease if possible our annuity fund.
 All, rich or poor, have or have had teachers Yes, they are paid; but can money ever repay our teachers for their care of and anxiety for their pupils.
 Parents, do you sometimes think of your chldrens good friends, their teach CTS? 1f4
 The object off, our guild is to provide annuties for those teachers who after many years of hard and faithful work, are unable to continue their teaching, and therefore support themselves. But we need the assistance of our friends to enable us to accomplish this worthy ob- feet. Those who do not wish to assist at our 'Soiree" may. if they desire, add any small donation to increase the re- ceipts of the evening
 The entertainment will consist of q French comedy La Diplomatic du Menage," and number of pretty French songs.
 Tickets may be had at Cutters Art store, the F. P. Judd company, c. J. Munson Jr, and Co.,, and F. N. Robin son.
 With thanks to the press and the pub lie from a French woman and a lover of America. A. J. de Mets. 6S Howe street, April 19, 1899.

WITNESS FOR THE DEFENSE
MRS. JACKSON, MOTHER or MRS.
 ANDERSON, ON THE STAND.
Simply Denied Statements of States Witnesses as to Troubles in Anderson Famtly-ProfessOr Smith Testified as to Ills Finding of Traces of Arsenical POisOn .- Other Court Matters,
Poison Other Court Matters.

The first witness for the defense in the Anderson murder trial was tic mother of the accused, Mrs Laura Jackson. She was on the stand all yesterday af- ternoon and the cross examination had not been concluded when court ad- journed at 4:30. The next session will begin on Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The gist of Mrs. Jackson's testimony was that the stories of witnesses for the state to the effect that the marital re- lations of her daughter and the daugh- ter of the deceased were not pleasant were false The history of the family was rehearsed From the method of questioning on the part of the defense it is likely that an effort will be made to show that the poisoning was the re- suit of excessive cigarette smoking.
 Professor H. F. Smith, who was on the stand when court adjourned on Thursday afternoon, was called again yesterday morning.
 pr. Smith testified to an analysis of the brain. liver, stomach, colon, and kidneys of John Anderson. In each case, after treatment by chemical pro cess, a precipitate solution resulted in which he recognized arsenious eXide. commonly known as white arsenic. The quantity found was about three grains. There was sufficient to cause death in twenty four hours or less.
 pr. Smith also subjected the crop and gizard of the chicken found dead in the Anderson yard the day of the death of John Anderson to a similar treat ment He found the same octahedral crystals denoting arsenious exide in the organs.
 A portion of the box of rough on rats found by Hamilton Anderson in the coal bin under the stoop of the Ander- son home was analysed by Dr. Smith He found the same crystals in it that he had discovered in tho organs of An derson and the chicken.
 The states theory is that the chicken and Anderson met death from the same cause Walter Anderson testified that John Anderson ate meat, in a beef stew
The daily morning journal and courier., 1899-04-22

for breakfast, and that the scraps ana refuse were thrown into the yard. Here the chicken ate it's fill, and dled within a short time,
 The hypothetical question asked by Attorney Williams covered three pages with typewriter words-about $50 in all. It dealt with the probable result 1T John Anderson had taken rough on rats in his food; had suffered as described by witness; had died in the time given; that the autopsy discovered arsenic in several organs. etc. MT. Chase objected to the question. He took exceptions to about two-thirds of the statements on the ground that they had not been proven by the evidence offered.

Superior court-civl Side.

l Receiver George B. Martin, who has
 been conducting the affairs of the New
 Haven Steam Saw Mill company since | it went into insolvency fourteen years
 ago, was yesterday authorized by Judge Robinson to continue the business for eight months.
 Receiver Martin stated that the as-
 sets consisted of $6O,000 to s70,O00 in book accounts; real estate of considerable | value, especially to the Consolidated | railroad. the stock in trade, and the suits against the city of New Haven. 1 It would take at least six months to dispose of the stock and the accounts without sustaining a loss. The company has practically never
 paid dividend to the creditors. Every
 year dividend of from to 6 per cent. has been declai ed--merely interest on
 the debts which amount to s13OO00. Formal orders were passed by Judge Robinson in the matter of the Lavigne
 & Scott Manufacturing company's reor- ganization.
 The company has turned over it's
 property to the Lavlgne Automatic Ma ! chine company, which is organized un- der the laws of the state of New Jersey. 1 The company has a capital stock of | $150000
 In order to finally close ur the affairs | of the Lavigne & Scott Manufacturing | company 1t was necessary to have re- ceiver appointed and Judge Robinson appointed William Parker, who was | member of the old concern and is also 1 a stockholder in the new. l All the debts of the old corporation
 have been paid, and everything is ad- l iusted except the formal part of the transaction. The company will con- | tinue to use the same plant at 161 River street
 In the short calendar Judge Robinson ] granted the motion of the receivers of ! the Connecticut Indemnity association l for additional authority in the admins | tration of the affairs of the corporation | There were eight other cases against
 the defendant, which were continued l week that creditors might appear and | be heard.
 Colonel Burpee, who appeared for
 stockholders of the company, as well as 1 for himself, stated that there was an | attempt being made in New York to | raise money with which to assume all
 claims against the company, and to | take the charter. Tn this event Colo l nel Burpee said that it would be a | greater benefit to creditors and if they could be heard the sentiment would be found to be against the annulment of | the charter.
 l Catherine G. Shepard was divorced I from Frederick A. Shepard yesterday.
 The ground was assertion. They were
 married April IT, 1891.

 It is said that MT. Beach has decided that the property of the Sawmill com pany was damaged $25,000 on one tract of land and $22,000 on second under these conditions.
