THE MOLINEUX CASE.

Colonel Church, Grand Jury Foreman,
 Answers Osborne's Charges.
 New York, June 19-Colonel Church, foreman of the grand jury that failed to indict Molineux, handed down an affi- davit to-day in answer to charges pre- ferred by District Attorney Osborne a few days ago. MT. Osborne in his charges said that the grand jury asked questions of witnesses which tended to exonerate the accused instead of con- victing the guilty person. The sub stance of Colonel Church's answer is a complete denial of MT Osborne's charges. Colonel Church says that neither he nor any other member of the grand jury heard any feeling of bias in the trial and that his acquaintance with General Molineux. the father of the accused man, was confined entirely to military matters, Colonel Church being editor of the army and navy journal. The grand jury, he says, gave careful and exhaustive consideration to the case and not member was convinced that the address on the poison package was written by MolineuX.

REPLIES TO MIR. TRUEMAN.
Free Trade England the Mother of
 Trusts

Free Trade England the Mother of
 Trusts.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 In your issue of June IT you print an article signed w. Trueman with no ex- planation of its fallacies It states that the republican party taught that under democratic rule the country was suf- fering with overproduction. This was not republican teaching or beliefs, or the facts in the case. We were suffer-
 ing from under-consumption, owing to the importation of manufactured goods from abroad that took the place of home made ones, and consequent loss of em- ployment to labor rendered the idle la borers unable to purchase. Protection has in the past fostered industries, and resultant competition lowered the prices to the consumer, still giving the manu- facturers a profit owing to improved fla cilities. Protection does not of itself cause the forma ton of trusts. If it did the trusts would have been formed un- der the higher protection of republican tariff measures previous to the Mckin- ley and Dingley tariff bills. Free trade England is the mother of trusts and her money and influence in forming them is here as well as at home. If protection plunders the people, then the people want to be plundered some more, as they liked the prosperous times from the civil war in the sixties to the time the democratic demogagues persuaded the working people that they were not getting their share of the prosperity of the country and they voted for a change and much to their sorrow got it, and it's effects are still with us in spite of the now bettering conditions under rule and protection. Have meyer, Trueman and men of that stamp appeal to the passions of men by their false logic, having a purpose to serve of advancing democratic doctrines, but the truth is good enough, and this gen. eration has had their object lesson of the falsity of democratic doctrines, and i that party will have to await the com- ing of another generation that must l learn for themselves, not being willing | to take the experiences of the previous | as was the case with our selves.

William Miller Fell in Front of Team
 on Crown Street
 While riding his bicycle through Crown street yesterday morning Will liam Miller, a seventeen year old boy, who lives in Whitneyville, met with a serious accident. He was going down Grown street between Church and Or ange streets, when he fell from his wheel and landed in front of team of horses attached to a heavy truck The team was going slowly but the boy was so close when he fell that the driver of the team was unable to stop his horses until they had passed partly over the boy. Young Miller was helped up by bystanders and it was seen that he was badly hurt. Patrolman John Grant called the New Haven hospital ambu- lance and the boy was taken to the hos pital where it was found that he had sustained a fracture of the skull. He was dazed and unable to tell who he was for some time after reaching the hospital, but after an operation he grew better and was able to tell his name. He was getting along nicely last night. His father is William Miller of Whitney, vile, who is employed by the Winches- ter Repeating Arms company.

The Cottabos as Practised by the
Greeks-Other Picturesque Amuse-

aeval Games.
We have changed for the worse in
modern times, since we have abolished
or rather suffered to languish into OBJ
livion those interesting and excellent
pastimes of antiquity which We're known
as Musical Games" At the present
hour. If we search through the whole
hemisphere Of innocent pleasure we
shall look in vain for anything APP

signation, excepting always the rustic
and time honored sport of the "lnuscal
chairs which belongs too much to the
nursery to be allowed to count,
The world has become considerably the
poorer by this dropping out of a delight
full and artistic species of recreation,
which is but i'll replaced by the baga-
tele cue, the card table and the game Of
Halma
The most popular musical game of an
tiquity was that known as "the Gotta
Dos" Its origin is very difficult to
trace; also from what country it was
primarily derived. But In Greece in the
early classical times it was already very
popular, and became more and more SO
as the luxury of cities advanced and
wealth brought leisure to the citizens.
In many parts of the Greek world, but
more especially in Sicily, where magniti-
cence and expense reached their height
in the great cities of Tarentum and Gro
tona, buildings used to be erected like
our racquet courts and fives courts, and
of about the same size as the former, for
the express purpose of playing this mu-
steal game, although it was also played
i'll private houses as we'll. All day long
the game proceeded being taken up by
various parties of players, who succeed
ed one another in their tenancy of the
court, which was constructed as follows: |
The arena was broad space, exactly |
like our racquet court, but toward one |
end, and in the center toward that end, |
was fixed large marble basin full Of |

ludicrous and with not the vestige of a

the early medieval times. On Easter

scene of a carnival A. large ball was

says the writer in the "Acta Sanctorum"
from whom we are quoting, Ibid not dis
dain to handy the ball about, if he were
there; and meanwhile the choir boys
were leaving their places in the stalls
and leaping and bounding all about the
chancel the elder clergy also joining ill.,
and footing it to the sound of the organ
which exactly authenticates the scene
of confusion described this species of the
ball to be.
Another very favorite musical game of
the same epoch was the burial of the al
leluia. Odd and profane though this
ceremony may seem, it was yet gone
through with great gravity and earnest
ness, and was greatly enjoyed by the on
lockers, although generally speaking
they were not allowed to participate in
the game.
1t took place in the churches in the
middle ages on Septuagesima Sunday
After the blessing all the boys of the
choir came down the church, some
whipping tops on which the word "Alle-
lula was written, others carrying turfs
on which the name was cut. Followed
by the congregation they proceeded to
the church-yard, and buried the tops
and the turfs with q great deal Of gro
tesque horse-play, which we should |
deem irreverent, but which in those days !
was esteemed excellent drollery. And

DEWEY'S ANCESTORS.
One of Them Lies Buried In Hartford's
Ancient Ground.

One Of Them Lies Buried In Hartford S
Ancient Ground.
Various articles have appeared about
Admiral Dewey's ancestry, and Connect
icut has been proud to claim him. but
none have shown how closely he is con-
nected with Hartford, says the Courant.
At least one of his ancestors lies in the
ancient burial ground so recently thrown
open to the public view, viz: John Tai
colt, who came from Braintree, County
Essex, England, with Hooker and was
deputy from 1887 and magistrate and
treasurer Of the colony, 1654-166O The
admirals grandmother was Mary Tai
colt, daughter of Samuel and Mary
(Smith) Talcott of Glastonbury. The
house where they lived is still standing
In Marlborough, that town being formed
out Of territory from Colchester, Hebron
and Glastonbury. On the Gilead church
record is the marriage Of Zachariah Per-
rim to Mary Talcott in January, 1881
Some years later they removed to the
then pioneer settlement of Berlin, Yer
mont, near Montpelier A number of
families from Hebron, Colchester and
Glastonbury went together to the new
settlements in Vermont. The story Is
told howXachariar Perrin left Hebron in
winter, with two pair Of oxen and sled,
taking his wife and two children, and a
stock Of provisions, by the Connecticut
and White River to Brookfield, which
was then the end of the road. The re-
mainder of the journey was by marked
trees and In snow three or four feet
deep, and they arrived at their destina-
ton in March.
Mr. Perrin took an active part In the
settlement and organization of the town
and became prominent citizen His
daughter Mary born IN 1893, married
DR., Julius 7. Dewey of Montpelier, and
became the mother Of Admiral Gearge
Dewey. The admiral inherits his fight
ing qualities fairly, as he Is descended |
from a number of men who served val |
iantly in the Indian and French wars.
In this line he has Captain Samuel Tai |
colt, who commanded the Dragons at |
Deerfield at the outbreak of King Will |
liam's war 1890; Captain John Mauds- |
ley, or Moseley, who served on King |
Philips war as lieutenant and captain |
Captain Elizur Holyoke, who was an
early settler of Springfield, and Indian
fighter, and the man for whom Mount |
Hoyofe was named, and others also.

The Outlook reprints two articles from
its issue of October 81, giving " The Case
for the British and The Case for the
Beers" Few readers will deny that the
British case is weak and the Boer side Is
strong. Dr. Stewart, who sets forth the
British side, is at the head of a mission in
Cape Colony. He finds that Cecil Rhodes
is an interesting man, and that President
Kruger is bigoted. He enumerates the
disabilities of the Transvaal outlanders
and then asks the people of the United
States: Would you like to live without
these necessities ~ But that is not the
point, and Mr.. Van Sicien, who speaks for
the Beers, shows the worthlessness of that
sort of argument. He enumerates each of
the grievances alleged by the outlanders,
and shows that in every instance the same
disabilities apply to every foreigner in the
United States at the present moment. The
British in the Transvaal refuse to accept
franchise by which they would renounee
their allegiance to Great Britain. They
remained, therefore, in exactly the same
status as Europeans in the United States
who refuse to be naturalized Such resi-
dents have DO vote in the levying of taxes,
no voice in the payment of officials, no con-
.trol OF education, no right to sit on jury.
Great Britain would have the same
right to attack us on these counts as to at
tack the Beers. 1t had no more right to
interfere with the internal affairs of the
Transyaal than with those of the United
States. 1t has the right OF all the nations
to protect its own citizens when they are
being oppressed, but the alleged snfferines
Of the Outlanders are discounted by the
fact that no outlander regiment has thus
far been heard of in the British army.
Most of them did not want any Imperial
interference, and are now simply disgusted
because their business has been interfered
with. Americans regret to see braye men
killed on either side, but they cannot over
look the fact that the British cause is weak
