Eleanor SadIer, Who Admits Cutting at Gay COlOred Party, Victim of Insulting Renlarks-POlice This
 Noon Arrest Harry Ryder, Who Loaned Weapon

Thomas, 32, 230 Cherry street; John Clyde, 30, of 2S Htll street; Otis Arlington, 23, of 147 North Elm street; Albert Jeter, 2S. of 132 Locust street; Sadie Walton. 32, of 210 Bishop street; Addle Thomas, 29, 230 Cherry street: Wilson Parker, 39, of 41 Locust street.
 Harry Ryder, 23, colored, we'll known to local boxing fans, was taken into custody shortly before noon hour and Is being held at police headquarters without bonds pending an examination by Coroner Monzani. Ryder is the owner of the knife used in the slashing of Las- sitter. A few minutes before the ar- gument he had loaned it to the young woman, who had resented Lassiter's attentions. Ryder escaped the general roundup yesterday morning, but was located in the attic of an Abbott avenue residence this noon by Lieutenant James Mulville and Patrolman Thomas Luddy. He was sent in for a "quizz."
 Lieutenant William Pollard and Detective William Foley working on the case today obtained, suffi- cient evidence to explain the entire attack. Lassiter passed insulting remarks about Miss Sadler and at one time Is alleged to have delib- erately kicked her in the shins. The last attack infuriatcd her and she leaped at him with Ryder's knife. She struck him in the chest and on the arm and missed one swing. She has no regrets for her actions. He had it coming to him, according to spectators.
 Miss Sadler came to Waterbury
 last July. She is expected to be confined sometime in March.

Charge Fraud
 in $500 Suit
Cheshire Parties Are Inc
 yOlved in Legal Tilt

Charging the defendants frau delently conspired to place sedan beyond the reach of creditors and the plaintiff to prevent attachment, John Jacarugo of Cheshire to-day instituted civil action in the court of common pleas against J. F. Shea and Nellie Reilly, both of Cheshire.
 The plaintiff seeks to recover for services he rendered Shea in constructing roads throughout the state. He claims that prior to Oct 29, 1892 he was owed $203.50 in salaries by Shea for the work he did. He claims he was given a note for the amount owed him by the defendant Shea and that the note became due on Oct 29, 1882.
 When the note was pressed for payment, the suit alleges he was refused.
 The suit alleges that Shea and the defendant Reilly, who live in the same house and are related through adoption, fraudelently con- spired to place sedan owned by Shea, beyond the reach of creditors and that Shea placed title to the car in the defendant Reilly's name. The plaintiff asks damages of $500 in the suit which is returnable to court the first Tuesday of Janu- ary.

all, especially by the children. since, to great extent, 1t has be- come a chiidren's festival.
 The festival commentaries the stirring events of the period from 1sS to 165 B. c. E. Antiochus Epiphanes, the king of Syria, wish ing to unite all the provinces un- der his dominion into one nation, issued decree that only the Greek religion was to be practiced thepceforth. He' thereupon tried to suppress Judaism, burned the Sacred Scrolls of, the law and set Up idols in the holy temple at Jerusalem. But the Jews did not submit to his decree. Instead, they resisted, and after long protract- ed warfare Judas Maccabeus, the son of Mattathias the priest, sup ported by his four heroic brothers, defeated the Syrians, and on the twenty fifth day of the month of Kislev in the year 165 B. c. E., removed the idols from the tem- pie and rededicated 1t to the serv- ice of God.
 Many beautiful legends and stories have grown up around the Feast of Hanukkah. The most beautiful of these states that on the day of the rededication only a single cruse of oil was found un- polluted, but this oil, through the miraculous power of God, proved sufficient to burn during the entire period of the reconsecration. For this reason the festival is kept for eight days and candles are lit dur ing the entire period, one on the first day, two on the second day, and so on until eight candles have been lighted on the eighth day. Many other legends and features contribute toward making the Hanukkah festival one of the most joyous in the Jewish year.
 The festival commemorates per- haps the first historic struggle for religious freedom. II twas Q tri- ,srV{hh nP .Irfdaian nvar paUa nfaYn
