Holy Name Societies Listen to Father
 Theunte of New Haven.
 The snow storm of yesterday did not deter large numbers of people from making their way to St Francis Kay Hers church to hear the Rev Father ,Theunte of New Haven, who was an lnounced to speak at the 10:3O o'clock mass in the morning and at the Ves- per service in the evening. The rev erend father preached an interesting land instructive sermon on the gospel ! of the day in the morning to q large and appreciative congregation. In the afternoon he met the members of the Third Order of St Dominic. The church was crowded at the solemn ves- lper service. The officers were Father as~eWley, celebrant; Father Grenier, deacon; Father Fleming, sub-deacon. The musical program, published here in Saturday, was rendered in most acceptable manner. Father Theunte' S sermon was aimed principally at blas- phemy and the taking of the name of God in vain. He wanted all to protest against the abuse of the name of Christ and to endeavor to add recruits to the ranks of the society organized specially for the suppression of the Eyice of swearing and particularly to do away with as far as lies in its power Hhe profane use of the most holy name Iof Jesus. The speaker referred to the strength of the Holy Name societies in New York, Connecticut and other places, and said there was no place of it's size where it should be stronger than right here in Waterbury, one of the most Christian and most Catholic cities in the state.
 The Holy Name societies of the city 1 were in attendance and made a very cre6itable showing.

thought that the accusations should be proved, or some action taken in the matter.
 Grig-by insisted that his execution should be noted, as to the ruling of the court, and the court stated that lie had already taken notice of this matter: that notice of it had been taken that morning and an opinion expressed, and perhaps that was sufficient for the time. That Mr. Grlgsby'S conduct was repre- hensible, the court continued, didn t need to be stated ''in the presence of an intelligent audience, if they would know the facts,' and then he told McCinn that if he wished he could put the clerk of the court and the jury commissioner on the stand to explain.
 McGinn thought there was nothing to explain. Ut waS,' he said, mere ly the statement of a person not backed up by anything.' The court also said he didn't see anything, and McGinn said that he didn't know what "these gentlemen could explain" The grand jury seemed to be satisfactory for crlm- inal purposes, but it was not satistac- tory for some civil investigations that were anticipated, or such were the re- marks of MT. Grigsby that morning.

They had. and conple of routine matters were disposed of. and the court then ad- iOurned until next morning.
