COULD HAVE KILLED
 HAD HE WISHED TO Colored Chauffeur Offers Novel Defense to Charge of st A ASsa111t tO KiI11

Probable cause was found by Judge Wilder in the case of George White, the colored chauffeur for Lyon & Grumman. who fired off his revolver on Tuesday night in an altercation with Alfred Johnson of 61 Elm street. the father of the girl he loved. The accused was bound over to the next term of the Superior court under $200 bonds. White declared to-day that he had no intention of shooting MT. John son or even of firing the revolver, but when Johnson attempted to put him out of the house he happened to be changing the pistol from one pockea to another. In the struggle the re- volver went off and the bullet lodged in the floor.
 White showed that he was a rather Intelligent negro and was quite precise in his language. In giving his ex- plantion of the affair to the court he insisted that he could have shot John son at any time while they were clinched, if he had wished. as he was the Master of ceremonies Attorney John c. Chamberlain appeared for the prisoner.

Dumas and His Economical Son.
 Alexandre Dumas, the great French story writer, was very fond and proud of his son Alexandre, who also became famous author. His regard for him was increased apparently by the fact that the son had a very good apprecia- tion of the value of money, quality which the father did not possess in the slightest degree.
 A writer of recollections relates that he once visited Dumas at St Germain. He had just been bitten in the hand by his dog and was unable to write, but was dictating a novel,.
 His son went out as the visitor came in.
 Alexander has just left me-" said the father. What a good fellow, that boy is! Just fancy, this morning I re- ceived $50 francs. He said to me, I'll take 50 francs of it. I didn't quite hear and thought he was going to leave me only 30. So called out: Hold oni Let me have 100 of it at leastr But I tell you I'm only going to take GOT he called out oh, oh, said I, T thought you were going to take the GOO. Well. take as much as you want"
 And Dumas added proudly, What a golden hearted fellow Alexandre is, to be surey'

GREEK CHURCH
 MAY BE USED
Services No Longer Prohib- ited by Injunction, Which is Dissolved.

Judge William S. Case of the Su- perior court yesterday filed a decision on motions in the cases of OrtynSki and others against Dujack and others, in which the defendants asked a dis solution of the temporary injunction restraining the defendants from occu- pying and using the building in New Holy Trinity Greek Catholic church, and they also asked for an injunction restraining the faction of the church which does not recognize Rev. Eugene Volkay as the priest in charge from attending the services and making a disturbance. The judges decision. con- tinues only the injunction preventing a conveyance of the church property and, under this decision, the church can be re-opened, the injunction closing it be- ing dissolved.
 The memorandum of decision is given below:
 ssThe plaintiffs say that unless the church property is maintained. the more belligerent' of their own faction will probably resort to riot, bloOdShed, arson or such other offenses as may be incidental to factional religious strife. Under these circumstances they ap- parently seek deliverance from their friends by urging that the opposing faction in the church is restrained from putting temptation in their friends way.
 Passing this claim, which assumes a somewhat involved theory of the proper function of a court Of equity, think that SO far as the remedy it should be limited to a continuance of the injunction against a conveyance of the property, pending a final hear ing on the merits of the cause"

New York, Aug. 19.-(Opening)- Pronounced weakness was shown again this morning in the Hartman issues, Union Pacific, common and preferred each declining more than 1 point and selling in the first 15 min utes at the lowest range so far on this reaction. New York Central was down nearly 2 points to 143 and Southern Pacific scored a loss of over a point. After the first Is minutes the tone was better and some recoveries were noted. Union Pacific, common and preferred moved up to about the same extent Reading recovered all it's early losses with slight fractional gain.
 Il a. m.-A flood of selling orders, many of them for amounts from 5000 Co 10000 shares, which struck the market at the opening. caused addi- tional declines, many stop orders re- sulting in heavy liquidation for specu- 1ative accounts. It was most marked in Union Pacific which fell 21z points to below 209 during the first hours, a loss of over 70 points since the begin ming of the week. Reading also sus- tained decline of over points and about the same loss was made by New York Central while a large number of stocks fell a point or more. The weak ness of the market was popular as- of Hartman and it was stated in some quarters that prominent banking houses have been adverse to a con imitation of the upward movement and have been steadily selling to start a reaction.

 There were cures, for drunkenness In the early days of this country, and from this account. in the New York Gazette of May z, 1772, we are told of treatment that cured one patient be yond all possible question: "On Satur- day last MT. Montanny's negro mn. who had misbehaved himself and was remarkable drunkard. was sent to Bridewell and underwent the usual dis cipline of the house for such offenses- viz. a plentiful dose of warm water and salt to operate as an emetic and of lamp oil as purge. in proportion to the constitution of the patient. Of these he took about three quarts of the one and two and a half spoonfuls of the other; also gill Of New England rum, which operated very powerfully, attended with violent sickness which obliged him to lie down. and between 8 and at night he was discovered to be dead. He died of excessive drink ing, cooperating with discipline and medicine. MT. Dobbs, the operator, was Innocent of his taking on"

The Duke of Clarence, afterward William ", once received a very adroit and humorous hint which he took in very good part He was wis fling Portsmouth and inspecting the ships there when it happened that his guide over the seventy -fours" was an aggrieved and battered lieutenant who had waited for promotion many years in vain He seemed deseised and, for gotten. As this man removed his hat to salute royalty the duke observed that he was bald and said jestingly:

 "Why, your royal highness." was the quick answer, tits a wonder have any hair left, for so many young fel- lows have stepped over my head"
 The duke laughed and made his in- spection of the fleet, but in few days his Portsmouth guide received an ap- pointment as captain.

Hatters' Strike Ends,
 Eight Months Fight

New York, Aug. 1s.-The 2,5oo hat ters who have been on strike in Orange, N. J., for ,eight months vot- ed unanimously to go back to work yesterday following the proposition made by Gov Fort. This proposition contained the provision that the manu- lecturers may retain the services of their present non-union hands if they are needed and it had been predicted that the strikers would not accept. They were plainly opposed to the plan when they entered the Orange Armory, where the vote was taken, but after an address by President Moffitt their attitude changed.
 Word of Oranges action was imme- diately sent to Newark, where the To- cal strikers met to decide the same question.
 President Moff1tt. after the meeting, said that he believed the controversy would be all settled in a few days more though some doubt is expressed whether the manufacturers will agree to proviso inserted by the men in the Agreement to allow the strike@ breakers membership to the nnion- z.

The Mentone Man.

An almost perfect skeleton was found in a cave at Mentone, France, March, 1872. It showed its owner to have been a tall, well formed man, with an aver age skull and a facial angle of eighty five degrees. The antiquity of this skel- eton, known as the Mentone man, is undoubted. His bones are associated with those of the cave lion, cave bear and other extinct animals. All the bones were in place, surrounded by flint implements and the remains of animals which the man probably had killed. Twenty-two perforated teeth. which may have formed a chaplet, lay by his head. These bones, with the Dutchman's skull found in a cave near Engis, are the oldest specimens known of human remains and go far to prove that prehistoric races were well fur nished with brain power.

The four made their debut in to the realms of publicity today at the 39th reunion of the 18th Connecticut Volunteers Association, where they made a decided hit with their rendition of classical pieces and the best popular music being encored to the echo.
 They have been coached by Henry E. Riley, who is to direct their move ments in the future and preside at the piano. Their next public appearance will be at the dinner which will fol- low the New Haven Bridgeport police game to be played at Newfield on Thursday, Aug. 26. The dinner is to bookings for Savin Rock.

Selling thousands and thousands of pairs of gloves, as we have done this sum mer, there simply must be some odd lots now on hand. 1t IS impossible to sell every pair of each size of any cer- tain sort.
 Now we take those odd lots, mark them at new and lowered price, and combine them into an offering in which every woman may count almost certainly upon sharing in.
 No, there is not your spe- lfic size in more than half of. the sorts, probably. But 1t is surely there in some sort. And that sort is to be bought at a goodly saving.

HEROES OF PORT
 HUDSON REUNITE
Ebert O. Rugles Reelected President of Veterans
 Association
RECORD OF 18TH CONN.

Members of the 18th Connecticut Veteran Association with their wives and children to the number of 150 gathered today at Otto Lehmann's Shore House on Seaview avenue, the occasion being the 39th reunion of the association. Not only was mostly ev- cry city and town in this state repre- sented, but even New York, Pennsyl- vania and Ohio sent her former Con- necticut veterans. The business meet ing was called by President Ebert O. Ruggles of this city, at II a. m. The principal order of the day was the election of officers. Charles H. Gaylord of Kent was nominated and elected as president, but declined to
 serve. Elbert @. Ruggles was then again elected for another year, as a mark of the appreciation of the work he has done for the association in the past. Other officers elected were: 1st vile, 2nd vice-president, Frank E.. Weed. New Canaan, 3rd ivice-president Cyrus B. Prindle, Roxbury, 4th vice. president Wallace King, Shelton; Chaplain Henry Upson, New Britain; assistant chaplain. Fred c. Franics, Collinsville; secretary and treasurer, L.. D. Penfield, New Britain; executive committee, President, secretary and vice presidents.
 The reports of a number of com- mittees were read. The committee on the Port Hudson medals stated that it was hoped that all the veterans of that historic place would be supplied with medals within the coming year.
 There is a little story connected with the medals. On July 1, 1863, Gen. Banks issued a call for 1000 volun- teers. promising all who would enroll medal. Port Hudson surrendered the fact that the 1000 volunteers were gathered. Throughout Connecticut from five to ten men from each bat tery acknowledged their intention to join, but out of the 18th Connecticut alone over 250 men responded.
 The executive committee decided to hold the 10th reunion at Savin Rock. about this time, in 1910 The meeting being over about 12:30 all those present sat down to a sumptuous shore dfn- ner, such as only can be had at L1eh- mann's.
 President Ruggles presided at the banquet tables. carrying things off with a. dash which was pleasing. A number of the old veterans were called on and spoke of their doings in the War of the Rebellion During the fes- tivities the police Quartette of this city rendered a number of classical pieces which were well received. Miss Helen O'Rourke, of this city, the adopted daughter of the 18th Connec- tfcut, was present at the festivities for the first time. As a souvenir of the occasion, President Ruggles presented each person with a new Lincoln penny
