AN EXTRA REHEARSAL
Of the Semi Chorus of the Gounod So-
 ciety Last Night.

Of the Semi-Chorus of the Gounod So-
 ciety Last Night.
 There was an extra rehearsal of the semi-chorus of the Gounod society at the home Of Mrs. H. Grant Thompson last night to perfect the extremely diff ficult chorus, 70 quam praeclara regio." The difficulties of this particular chorus are perfectly heartbreaking and are giving much trouble. MT. Parker by certain peculiar uses of the voices, has obtained an absolutely original effect which is very striking. To train voices to sing the music as it was written, and to give the exact impression which is meant to be given, has called most strenuous effort on the part of every one. But the worst of the work is now over and the extra rehearsals are for the polishing, the brushing up of de- tails.
 An extra rehearsal will be held for the whole chorus tonight al o'clock. Every singer must be present. No out sidars will be permitted to listen to the rehearsal, because the date of the pub lie performance, Tuesday, April 16 is too near at hand. Most of the time will be put upon the motel Adstant Angelo

hero of the episode was Philadetlphia,
 man and, like the New Yorker, he had
 accidentally discovered plant of very
 line claret in little old shop in the suburbs of the city. The proprietor
 however, had a vague idea that thes stuff might be valuable and named such
 steep figure that the collector went away to think up some scheme for
 bringing him to terms The upshot of 1t was that he sent around a friend, who sauntered in, priced number of things and finally spied the claret He picked up bittle, remarked causally that that particular vintage had all spoiled in the glass and declared the stuff wasn't worth shelf room. The caller was bir pompous individual and the shopkeeper was duly impressed. Next day the Philadelphia collector appeared and asked whether he was willing to talk reason about that red wine. I'm sor- ry monsieur, said the proprietor, but had no idea you would return and sold it last night to a ship captain What did he give you for it?' groaned the connoisseur. Ten cents a bottlA,' said the other. I found out after you left that it was spoiled, he added con- ddentially "-New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat.

 nothing pleases him more than to get the best of a bargain. Some of the ruses these foxy old bon vivants resort to are very amusing. Last year, for in stance, a noted connoisseur who is on the wine committee of leading New York club was looking through the show window of dingy little saloon near the river front, when he discovered a couple of dozen of very scarce claret, buried under lot of other stuff in one corner. It had evidently lain there un- disturbed since the place was opened, and meanwhile the vintage had grown to be worth anything you chose. The connoisseur managed to dissemble his joy, covered up the claret again and presently asked for a price on some cu- rious f1agons of cordial that formed the top layer. The proprietor was a good natured, easy-going Latin, who loved to bargain, and the two haggled for an hour over a difference of S.50. Finally the New Yorker pretended to notice the claret and dragged it to light. 'Hello!' he exclaimed, here are few bottles of red wine, probably spoiled.
 "'I'll tell you what I'll do,' he added; throw this stuff in and I'll take the cor dialsn The saloon keeper snapped up the offer, and the willy connoisseur car ried off his prize in basket When he got to his hotel he gave the cordials to the porter. l suppose some Of the clar- ct is now in his cellar at home.

TROLLEY LINES FOR CHESHIRE.

Two Petitions for Permission to Build Tracks from Meriden to Waterbury. Among the most important matters affecting this section of the state up for hearing before the railroad com
 mittee in Hartford this week were the petitions for permission to construct
 trolley tracks through Cheshire to con-
 meet Mer.den and Waterbury and to
 connect the tracks oe the Fair Haven and Westvile Railroad company at
 Mount Carmel R. K. Alger, of the firm

 united in a petition to the legislature
 for charter to build an electric road
 from Milldale to connect there with the
 tracks Of the Meriden and Compounce
 company to connect at Mount Carmel
 with the Fair Haven and Westville
 tracks. and also for a charter to build tracks from Hanover Pond in West
 Meriden, through Cheshire to Water bury. The town of Cheshire at the last town meeting voted to take steps to have trolley connection with New Ha- ven and Waterbury, After the town meeting citizens of the town requested MT. Alger, Mr. Bristol and MT. Walter, prominent residents of the town, to take action in pursuance of the vote
 The Mer.den and Compounce com pany, whose tracks extend from Meri- den to Milldale, and then to Plantsville. to Southington and to Lake Compounce also asked for a charter to build tracks over the same route from Milldale to Mount Carmel, asked for by the Ches- hire party, The question now before the railroad committee is, which of these two petitions shall be recommen- ded favorably.
 The Meriden and Comoounce com- pany asks also for permission to ex- tend it's tracks From Milldale on the Meriden turnpike to Waterbury and to go into Waterbury by way of Dublin street and opposes the granting of a charter to the Cheshire people to build a line from Hanover pond through Cheshire to Waterbury because that would furnish another through route from Meriden to Waterbury, At Han- over Pend the proposed Waterbury and Cheshire line of the Cheshire parties would connect with the Meriden and tracks already built. and so furnish a route fer Cheshire people to reach Meriden by trolley conveniently.

NEW YORK EAST CONFERENCE
Continued From First Page.)

(Contlnued, From First Page.) 1 New Haven; William B. ,Pruner\ Rocky
 Hill, a member of the Connecticut leg ! islature; Henry D. Trinkhaus, Water I vile, formerly of Bridgeport; and Will liam D. Tuckey, Trinity church, Meri- den. ff
 The programme for the sessions in- clude a conference prayer meeting each morning at o'clock, led by Rev. Dr. B. M. Adams, of Bethel, Conn.,, formerly of New Haven; a conference session at o'clock, and in the afternoons and evenings the anniversary of the differ ent societies will be held.
 Already the gossip has begun to fly
 It is known that Bishop Fitzgerald and his cabinet are going to have a serious time in adjusting the appointments and there will be shakeup that will be as- tonishing. The abrogation of the time limit has not yet helped matters any, and it is not likely to for several years. Churches have pretty generally been after the promising yong men with view to permanency in the pastorate, leaving men in middle life and in their prime unprovided for, or at least, not invited back It is thought by men who have Methodist ecclesiastical politics down to a system that there will be more moving, or changes in pastorates, for several years to come than there has ever been.
 Some of the gossip is of an interest
 ing character It is said that Rev. Dr. D. A. Blake, of Hartford, is willing to take a transfer out of the conference He may be sent to Portland, Ore, one of the Methodist pastors there having been invited to Indianapolis to succeed Rev. Dr. c. c. Lasby, who is wanted at Meriden. This is considered an equiva- lent exchange and will give Dr. Lasby the chance he desires to re-enter this conference. From Meriden Rev. pr. J. Wesley Johnston retires, having noti- fled his officials that he would not re- turn for the fourth year.
 Dr. Johnston, so far as can be learn- ed, is not placed, but a rumor declares that he will be made presiding elder of the New Haven district, succeeding Rev Dr. John E. Adams, who, it is said has received a call to Roseville, N. J., although it is said his acceptance or declination has been withheld, he leav- ing the ma tier entirely in the hands of the bishop.

 Whitely.
 New York, April 1o.-The London market under general improvement in the political and financial situation in Europe opened strong and on heavy transa ctions in our securities listed there lest none of the opening advances. Here the market opened stronger and higher, developing and accommodating further strength and advances in al- most all stocks throughout the session with the exception of the coalers, which latter are under a cloud owing to the threatened strike on the Jersey Central Very little news is out in regard to it, but the fear of 1t makes holders ner- vous. Should it eventuate In positive fact, no. alone the coalers, some of which are not selling much higher than they were four months ago, but other railroads may be affected also. Tn the meantime the reports of the long moot ed deals having become facts, and new ones in course of formation, caused gen. eral and heavy buying by pools" and outside operators with the most san- guine confidence of higher prices later on. At the present. level of values, profit taking would seem to us recom- mendable, particularly as there are soi many contingencies and eventualities, a little far fetched, perhaps, but yet in the realm Of possibilities, Which would give us a quick setback in the market There were no new features in the money or foreign exchange markets, quotations are unchanged from yester- day.

 runs only two trains a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. and these trains are . combination trelght and passenger trains, which are not much patronized It is urged in behalf of the petition that mere travel goes from Cheshire to Waterbury than to New Haven, and the people of Cheshire claim that citizens of that town should be given the right to build the line be-

 would be in the town of Cheshire

 CTS and Judge Marcus H. Holcomb rep

 company. George A. Tracy, represent
 ing the Connecticut Lighting and Pow
 CT company objected to the Meriden and
 Compounce company extending it's
 tracks to Waterbury because that com pany wants to go into Waterbury, into the center of the city by way of Si- yer and Dublin streets, while the Cheshire petitioners only ask to go through the plank road from Cheshire to Waterbury to the corner of Silver street, where the Connecticut Lighting and Power company's tracks terminate.
 The two petitioners have made the same layout between Milldale and Mount Carmel where they would con- meet with the tracks of the Fair Haven and Westville company, which is said to be willing to make traffic arrange ments with that one of the petitioners which is successful. There appears to be such need for a line over the pro- posed layout that probably one of the two petitions will be granted.
 The Mer.den and Compounce company two years ago brought to the legisla- ture petition to build the line and the Cheshire people were then willing, and prepared to assist in securing the franchise but when the petition was about to come to a hearing the com- pany withdrew the petition. A line from Mount Carmel to Cheshire and thence to Hanover would furnish a good route from New Haven to Meriden and would be shorter route than one | by way of Milldale.

While Hadad and his family were away from home yesterday their apartments were broken into, two trunks were broken open and about $10O in money was stolen. The police were notified and the two detectives were assigned to the case. They went to the house, and from what they learned there suspected Nasib, whom they questioned. He said that he came here from South America and arrived only few days ago. He said that he was wealthy and owned number of stores and that his father, who was also wealthy, had just gone home to Syria He is a peddler and by telling these tales he had secured the confidence f the members of the Syrian pedder col ony in New Haven.
 When the detectives visited Hadad's apartments a number of Syrialls were there, and the detectives afer awhile announced that they would search all present for the missing money. NaSib was the second one searched, and in his pockets they found a considerable sum of money In satchel which l,e carried they found another sum ef money, and the two sums amounted to the amount which had been stolen.
