nipiac Rink.
Bridgeport, with Dumpy Williams, as
the star actor, will make its first APP
pearance at the Quinnipiac rink this
evening. 1t will be worth while to go
to the rink this evening if for no other
purpose than to hear the old time fans
welcome Williams. The game ught to
be a good one firm the fact that Bridge
port defeated the Wallingford team
Saturday night, The league at their
meeting yesterday wisely agreed to
strengthen the teams where needed
and this will assure Connecticut Of
good polo during the season.

Charged With Murder in the First
Degree.

Charged With Murder in the First
Degree.
City Attorney Simpson Saturday
night filed with the police a warrant
charging Samuel H. Knox with muir
der in the first degree. The warrant
stated that he premeditated the MUIR
der. He stated that he did not know
whether Knox would be taken over to
the superior court on a bench warrant
or not.
A well known citizen stated Satur-
day night that there are hundreds of
New Haveners carving revolvers Just
as Knox did. and if the law was such
that they would have to go to Jail for
such an offense the practice would
st3p.
A point which is important in this
case is that the revolver used by Knox
was a self cocker and hammerless.
This will, of curse, aid him in his de
fence that the pietol went off acct
deatallv.

ST JOHNS CHURCH AND THE BEGIN
 Unless most persons have changed greatly from the customary habits of life their feeling when they wake up on Wednesday morning, June 19, will be something like this: eff I had known how much of an affair this Bi- Centennial was to be l should have done thus and so." The time to think of that is before and not after, and we want to say right here that it is going to be big thing, and it is time every one walked up to that fact. There is of course lot of work connected with making the arrangements for it; but there are those who are willing to do this work, and they are doing it. When the time comes all arrangements will be made. Our thoughts turn at once to our parish. We want the members of this parish to realize what an inn portant event 1t is to he and consider what we should do to bear our part worthily. The matter of services will be arranged later-only we want to say that there will be morning and evening services at 1.-the usual hour. We hope to have special music and consideration is the appearance of the church property. We want it in the best of condition at that time. .The | first thing that strikes one on enter ing the church is the condition of the carpet. It is worn out. For a num- Der of years the ladies of the Guild have been working with 8 view to meet this condition, either by buying l a new carpet or by having the floor | dressed and put in order. They now have about $500, and though the cost will probably be more than that, 1t seems as if the time had come to take the matter up. We want the church to look it's best best at the Bi-Centen- nial. Besides this, the parish house and rectory are sadly in need of coat of paint. We should be glad!t have sll the old residents and visitors see these two buildings present freshel appearance. After these matters are
 attended to it would be very nice if
 we could have the church lighted with
 electric lights for the first time the
 evening of the Bi-Centennial service
 Since it is no longer possible to ge,
 the higher grades of gasolene, the
 lights we have cannot be satisfactory.
 We should still keep the gas for emer
 gency and also to use in the parish
 house, but if the main body of the
 church could be lighted by electricity
 it would he very great improvement If the the Bi Centennial should } bring to us a finished hardwood dool in the church, two new coats of paint and electric lights we should feel like
