 Chances on Get
 ting Away.
OUT OF WINDOW AND
 DOWN CHAPEL ROOF
Man Arrested Five Months Ago for Stealing From Cars irl Cedar Hill
 Yards.

Creeping down over the chapel roof Rt the county jail yesterday morning while the remainder of the prisoners were at their breakfasts, Leroy Taylor, sentenced five months ago to twenty one months imprisonment for theft from railroad cars at the Cedar Hill yards made a successful escape from the whalley avenue institution and so far is still at large. Taylor with the remainder of the prisoners was called forth just before breakfast time yes- lterday morning to wash up and with the rest of his fellow inmates he went into the toilet room. It appears that he failed to come out with the rest and the keeper who had charge of a large number of prisoners did not not ice the defectiqn He then is supposed ito have returned to his cell and ob- tained some of his bed clothes. Max ink his way through corridor up- stairs he came to window which was barred with wooden shutter. This he succeeded in forcing out and by us- ing his bedclothes for a rope he lower ed himself unseen upon the roof of the chapel. Thence he slipped down to the edge and dropped to tn ground, making his way carefully to the street or some other avenue of exit along which he disappeared.
 The escape was soon perceived and the local detective force notified of fhe absence of Taylor. The man ere ated quite a furore at the time, of his arrest. He was engaged it is stated as a strike breaker as a brakeman in the Cedar Hill railroad yards. He claimed that someone had stolen some money which he had in wallet and he sci about in medieval fashion to execute his own mode of justice. On the high way in North Haven he met two men whom he thought were the ones who had his money. He promptly helj them up at the point of a gun in true wild west fashion and went through them, Failing to find proof of guilt up on them he gave them back their goods and let them pursue their journey un' molested.
 Upon their arrival home the men re. ported to the authorities and Officer Crockett of North Haven came to thi, city with mind intent upon arresting Taylor Taylor did not see it that way however, and covering the officer with a gun rode away upon a mustang which he had in his possession and es- capped unscathed for that time.
 About this time it became noised about in North Haven that this man Taylor had been selling goods in North Haven in large quantities and Detecr tive Daley of this city went up there to look into the report From informa- tion which he obtained he came to the conclusion that Taylor had stolen the goods from the railroad company 6 ears and he was arrested while at work in the yards at Cedar Mill. He pleaded guilty when put to trial and has beer sn jail about five months having stli to serve some sixteen months,

WAS A DRY SUNDAY New Haveners Find the Lid on Tight in City and
 at Shore.
 g. FEARED STATE POLICE Visit Last Week Resulted in Closeness of Doors
 Yesterday.

It was dry Sunday in New Haven yesterday if there ever was one. The lid was most emphatically on, not only in the center, but throughout the city, and especially at the shore places where laxity might seem less danger ous at this time of the year. The visit of the state police to this city last week with the wholesale arrests which they made and the dire reports of their future activities cast fear that was wholesome from the standpoint Of many persons at least into the hearts and abodes of many dispensers of that beverage which is stronger than water and which results in many 8 man lc,sing control of himself temporarily under it's influence. The chances to do so yesterday were scarce and if any places were doing business at all it was kept very dark, indeed.
 Except in one case, Michael Mona han of 423 State street, peeped out from under the lid and the big stick landed with beautiful crack upon his head. He was escorted to the police station by Patrolmen Spencer and Ledwith and graced the central slate with his name for the first adornment of the day. Monahan was charged with vio- latlon of the liquor law.
 It was the first Sunday in many, many months at least that the slate at central station has not been able to display something in the line of Q drunk But at supper time laet even- ing there was not one in central who had been arrested on that charge and the outside stations reported that all was quiet and tranquil with them. Ap- parently, was the word, they are all afraid on account Of the visit of the state police last week.

 borg's. THIRD SERMON ON
 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Rev. MT. Brown Speaks to Large Audience at the
 First Methodist
 Church.

The Rev. Francis T. Brown spoke last evening to an audience that filled the auditorium of the First Methodist Episcopal church on why no Real Christian Should Be a Member of the Cult Called Christian Science" This was the third in a series of Sunday evening sermon lectures on the teach- ings of Mrs. Eddy In his introduce tion Mr. Brown called attention to the form of the evenings topic and showed that many true Christians are among Mrs Eddy's followers in spite of the errors he is discussing.
 Mir, Browns sermon in full follows:
 At the beginning of this series of sermon-lectures it was affirmed that neither the truth nor the error of so- called Christian Science is rev; that the truth is part of our universal her. itage in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the error, false principle of Hindu philosophy partially disguised in Chris tian phrases. To the truth we promised that we should seek to do full Justice before the close of the series. Of the error in it's bearing upon the Christian faith we also engaged to speak at a later time. But first of all. we felt 1t necessary to consider in it's scientific and metaphysical bearings this Hindu error-namely that the physical uni- verse Is merely an illusion of the self deceived human mind. In the two pre- ceding discussions, we have seen that Mrs. Eddy's, espousal of this error, to- gether with her general incoherence of thought, has placed her book Science and Health" forever outside the pale of genuine science and philosophy It now remains for us before passing to the consideration and enforcement of the values which may be suggested by Mrs. Eddy's book, to indicate as pro- posed the influence of this same error upon her religious teachings. Tn piras- ing the topic under which we shall trace this influence, 1t must be noted that while there is general corre- spondence of form between this and the

RESIGNATION OF WRINN AT HAND Well Pounded Report That He Will Hand It in Tomorrow Even
 ing. C0WLES TALKED OF
 AS STUDLEY MAN But Mayor Said He Would Not Appoint if Martin Was Elected to
 Office.

The probabilities are that there will be important changes in the depart ment of police during the coming week The change will affect the very head of the department. The next meeting of tie board of police commissioners will be held tomorrow evening, and 1t Is stated on very oer- tain authority that at this meeting the resignation of Chief Wrinn will be presented. With this preliminary as almost certainty speculation has been very busy with the successor to Wrinn in the chiefs office. It Is marked down in the books of those who know that if the appointment is made by Mayor Studley before he goes out of office it will fall to Henry Cowles, the present captain of the de- tective bureau, In connection with this slate it is understood that the captain expects to have the police commissioners allow him to select his successor, and that the captain desires to appoint in his stead in the detective office James Ward.
 This is the slate which is most talk ed of at present, but there may be catches in Its progress that will upset a part of it. Prominent in the men, tion for either the chiefship itself or the captaincy is Detective Henry Don nelly. While 1t is practically assured, unless something very unforeseen changes the present plans. that Stud ley will appoint Cowles If he makes the appointment, the mayor stated ,aJ a meeting held some time before elec- tion that, in the event of Mir. Martin being chosen mayor of the city, he would not make any permanent ap- pointmcnt of a police chief, Unless he changes his mind this will make the appointment of chief, If Wrinn's resignation is accepted at the present time, q temporary one, and when Mir. Martin comes into office it will be changed again.
 It is said that the commissioners will not be likely to take any action on the resignation if it comes before them tomorrow evening as is pre- dlcted The matter will probably be laid upon the table. In the mean time the mayor may take action upon the matter and make either a regular or temporary appointment to the of flee. If the appointment is of the temporary order there will probably be change in January, when Martin comes in, as 1t is said that Donnelly is the more likely man as his appointee In case Cowles gets the regular ap. pointment now the captaincy may fal to either Ward or Donnelly, for while 1t is understood that the captain ia. vors the former, the latter Is a strong candidate and may land the headshlr of the bureau.

 At Chapel street one side of the bridge is completed with the excep- ton ofone arch and at Grand avenue two arches remain to be constructed. Both of these structures will be open for use probably within eight weeks. Cold and stormy weather will delay the work as the concrete. cannot safe-s " be allowed to set in freezing weather
 At the Crown street end of the. Wooster street bridge building is held up pending an adjustment by the city of the amount of indemnity to be paid to owners of the four story brick structure which is in the line of the new thoroughfare, and has already been condemned
 When it was made imperative by the increased traffic which coming from the west dlverge through this throat and is distributed to the east several different plans were con- sidered, the one. chosen year ago doing away with the steep grades at the approach to the l4 bridges cross- ing the cut. In the wholesale dis trtct, where street traffic is congested the approaches will be heightened and the grades reduced from six and eight per cent, to three per cent, a marked aid to heavily loaded trucks.
