rector appeared and in great wonder—
vment was made acquainted with the
fact that Rev. Mr. Selleck had sent him
to preach there. “I guess you were
sent to Holy Trinity, beyond here,”
replied the rector. I

riving on time, but aygood deal fiurried

That the subscription concert by

tant event of the near future.
That Mr. and Mrs. Robert Van Bu-
ren will give a reception to every mem-
ber of Grace church this evening to
meet the Rev. Mr. Watkins and Mrs.
Watkins.
That Mrs. James Ambler is very ill
at her home in Harlem.
‘ That we seem to be losing our repu—
tation for being a race of thin people.
If the stout women would learn t6
m0ve in grand, slow rhythm, and wear
_ textures so heavy that the lines of their
figures were concealed, they would
have a grandeur and dignity that no
slender woman could hope to attain.
That there is profound significance
in the scriptural injunction “Take no
thought for your body.” The dyspep-
tic thinks of his stomach, and the more
he has it in mind the more abnormally
sensitive it becomes. The sound man
has no knowledge of such an organ ex-
cept as a matter of theory. A change
often cures simply because novelty di-
verts thought which before has been
concentrated upon the body. The av-'
erage man mentally dwells much of the
time on his physical pains or pleasures
and thus they become exaggerated and
ruling.
OVERSHOT THE MARK.
It Begins to Look as if George Queen
Had Made a Mistake.
The presence of the Italian laborers
in our streets again this morning, with
their claims still unsatisfied, led a DAILY
GAZETTE representative to make farther
inquiries respecting the situation of
borough officials and others supposed
to have inside knowledge of the matter.
One of these gentlemen said: “The
whole dlfiiculty seems to have grown
out of a difference of opinion between
Contractor Rider and George Queen.
The latter claims that Mr. Rider owes
the. Italians $718, but Mr. Rider dis-
putes this and says the total amount
due is not far from $300. 011 final esti—
mate the sum of about $800 would be
available, for the purposes stated, but
as Mr. Queen has attached the amount
due Mr. Rider from the borough our.
hands are tied, for the time being, and
we are utterly powerless to assist him
by making an advance. The workmen
should be paid, but precisely how this
can be accomplished as matters are
now, it would be difficult to conjec-
ture.”
THE LATEST SUGGESTION.
Last evening the \Vater Commission-
ers assembled in the office of Clerk
Camp to talk over the situation and
possible remedies therefor. There
were also present Borough Engineer
Wood, Counsoler Gray, representing
George Queen, and J. Belden Hurlbutt.
attorney for Mr. Rider. An informal
discussion took place, lasting till 10
o’clock, but in view of the radical dif:
ference of opinion between Messrs.
Rider and Queen as to the actual
amount due the latter, and the attach—
ment put upon the money due Mr.
Rider, but one way out of the dilemma
appeared. It was suggested that Mr.
Rider give Mr. Queen an order for the
amount due the Italians and that Mr.
Queen authorize the Commissioners to
pay the Italians, the latter, (fearing a
thimble rigging game _ somewhere,)
preferring to be paid by the Commis-
sioners directly.
Most of the forcnoon the Italians
lined the stairway from. the sidewalk to
the office of the Commissioners bent on
obtaining their wages somehow if eter—
nal vigilance counted for anything.

for {death of Major John C. Kinney,

shortly after 8 o’clock last evening of
pneumonia, following an attack of la

Major Kinney was born in Nassau,
N. L7Y., and removed to Darien,

for @any years as pastor of the Congre-
gatijgnal church, and where he was
bur e/d. He was, 52 years old, a gradu-

infantry. He was promoted for gallant
service and for a co‘nSid’erable period
was signal officer 011 Admiral Farra-
gut’s flagship, the Hartford, and was
with the admiral in the maintop during
the battle of Mobile bay. He after-
ward’s wrote for the Century com- '
pany’s series Battles. and Leaders of
the-Civil War, the section on Farragut
at Mobile bay, which has been rated
by military men one of the best in the
series. . ”A ; _-
After the war Major Kinney’spent a
short time in the south and athenucame
noifth and engaged in newspaper work.
He was connected with the New York
Tribune, the Waterbury American, and
then with the Hartford Courant, 1872,
continuing with that paper ,until “his
appointment as postmaster, January
16th, 1890. A few years ago, whileiconj
nected with the Com-ant, he negétiated
for the purchase of the GAZETTE, but
the project was abandoned and life re- .
mained on the editorial staff of 'tlle
Courant. _ .
He was especially an authority'in the
matters relating to current legislation.’

the state and liked almost as universallyE .

1882-1886. No arrangement for the
funeral are yet made.
[From the Hartford Courant.]
John Coddington Kinney died last
brave, loyal and honest heart ceased to
beat when'his Was stilled. He had
lived in Connecticut practically all his
life and in Hartford for nineteen years.
Everybody knew him, and every one
who did know him respected him for
his courageous devotion to what was
right, his frank, outspoken way, and
his up and down honesty. The only
use he had for duplicity was to despise
it. There was never any doubt where
he stood on any question, and yet,
along with this ample ecurage of con-
viction, there was a sweet and almost
womanly gentleness of nature that
made him dearly loved by his friends.
He was a singularly helpful man, al-
ways ready to serve another and con-
stantly engaged in such self-sacrificing
labor. In private life. he was always
freighted with the cares and burdens
of friends, who turned to him because
of the certainty of his sympathy and
aid, and in public affairs, when any-
thing was to be done, the rest of us
ceased to be anxious about it if Major
Kinney agreed to undertake the work.
Major Kinney lectured in Rochester
about ten days ago and caught a bad
cold in the sleeping-car en route. On
his return this developed into the grip,
and last Thursday afternoon he went
home and sent for Dr. Wainwright.
Thoughavery sick man he held his
own fairly well until yesterday after-
noon about 4 o’clock, when there was a
sudden rise of temperature, and. the
case became immediately alarming.
Dr. Johnson was called in consultation
and, while the two thSicians were in
the house, at a quarter past eight last
evening, the end came suddenly, but
altogether peacefully. Heart failure
took place, and his life went out from
here.

The Firemen’s Needs Should be
. Granted.
In compliance with a vote passed by
the Court of Burgesses, Monday eve-
ning, a call for a borough meeting was
published in the DAILY GAZETTE, yes-
terday. It calls for the appropriation
of money sufficient to buy 3,000 feet of
hose, to build a tower in which to dry
the same and the purchase of a new fire
alarm bell not to weigh less than 2,000
pounds, with harness and two lamps for
the new supply wagon, which is to be
delivered about May 1st. The pur-
chase of all these things for the fire de-
partment was 111‘de by the Board of
Engineers and the foremen of the dif-
ferent fire companies, and was urged
,by them: upon. the attention of the”
Cour‘t'of'Burgesses as being absolutely
necessary for - the safety of property
and the extinguishing of fire, andhence
*To’ manyl'o'f {our} citizens this up;
seem to be a call for an extravagant
outlay of public money, but a little ex-
amination and consideration will prove
that itis not. In regard to equipment,
the fire department is completely run
down, while as far as the firemen them—
selves are concerned, the department
was never better. off for workers. If
such had not been the case, such good
results in the extinguishing of fires
lately, could not have been achieved.
There are only 500 feet of hose in the
borough'at'the present time which can
befl'elied upon, and when it is consid-
ered that the hydrants are 500 feet
apart, itcan be easily ascertained what
the results would be if a large fire
should break out. The reason fo r the
purchase of 3,000 feet of hose is that
there may be sufficient to replace the
wet hose on returning from a fire with
dry hose. ‘ This is where the tower be-
comesa necessity. The tower is for
drying the hose, and for storing it. It
is almost as necessary to have the tow-
el; as it is the hose, for if the hose be
a1 ”wed to remain On the “jumper.” or
hose carriage, in a" wet condition, it
soon rots out, and becomes weak, and
when subject to water pressure at a fire
as a consequence .eas1ly bursts. So it
will be seen from the foregoing that a
tower is an absolutiiT-inecessity.

necessary. The present be ‘Is upon"
the Town House, on the east side and
close by the river. It is well-known
that unless the conditions are very fa-
vorable the bell cannot be heard
in the night by the firemen, the great
majority of whom live on the west side
of the river. The reason for this is as-
cribed to the fact that sound invariably
follows water, and that the alarm can
in three cases out of four be heard
more plainly on the South Norwalk
drawbridge than on the west side of the
borough. Another reason for the pur-
chase of a new bell is that-the borough
has out-grown the present bell and that
the volume of sound from the present
small bell is not sufficient, and for that
reason a bell twice its size ought to be
purchased. The hose tower could be
built on the hill in the rear of Phoenix
Engine Company’s house, as the few
feet of land necessary could be cheaply
bought. The hose tower (as a length
of hose is 50 feet) would be at least 60
or 65 feet high, and with the bell there-
on would be 75 or 85 feet, which would
be high enough to allow the sound to
be heard in all parts of the borough.
The necessity of lamps and harness
is so apparent that discussion is unnec-
essary, as the supply wagon would be
useless without them.
Our borough has as good a working
fire department as can be found any—
where, and unpaid at that, and the
least that our citizens can do is to stand
by the firemen and give them all nec-
essary material with which to work.
They are a bulwark against the “red—
tonguec ” destroyer of our property,
and homes, and, in many instances, of
lives; and good equipment is necessary
for protection. The things asked for
in the “call” for the borough meeting
should not only be granted but pro—
cured without delay.

THE MATHEIS HEARING.
All the Testimony In and the
Inquiry Closed.
The testimony in the Matheis. case
was completed ' on Tuesday, and
the Court will now go over. the testi-
mony and make their report to. the
Commander-in-Chief.
Mr. B.‘W. Maples, of the Hour, was
the first witness placed upon the stand.
Mr. Maples explained to the Court how
he came to present the facts to the Ad-
jutant General, also that when he went
to see the Adjutant General he was very
much surprised to find Captain Rose
there. The Adjutant General, Captain
"Rose and himself talked the matter
over. He had interviewed Lieut. Ma-
theis," $316343le mnerview as; published
in éHOIIr was correct.
After Mr. Maples testified Lieutenant
Matheis was called to ~ the' stand. Be-
fore going on with -, the Lieutenant’s
testimony the Court'gave notice that
the hearing would}be 5 concluded with
open doors, but 'when Captain Rose
was sent for Lieutenant Matheis ob-
jected to his presence and stated that he
did not object to anyone else, but-that
he should certainly object to the pres-
ence of'Captain Rose; This was Lieu—
tenant Math'eis’ first objection to pub-
. licity during the entire trial and-was
made against Captain Rose only. As
the Court would not exclude the Cap-
tain unless all others were excluded,
those present were requested to leave.
Lieutenant Matheis then" gave the.
Court the whole story, of the trouble in
the company from the beginning.
Corporal Thomas Hunt testified that
he was present at the shoot and was the
first man to shoot and made nineteen
at both ranges. Knew nothing about
marking or pasting target. Did not
see Matheis signal and'did not see men
come out of the butts. Had attended
drill regularly up to the last few weeks
when he had asked for his discharge on
the grounds that he thought he would
be the next man discharged by Capt.
Rose and that the company could get
along without him. He understood
from talk about the Armory that every
man who had not voted for Captain
Rose would be discharged on one pro -
textvor another. He speaks to Capt.
Rose and LatsOn whenever they speak
to him. Never heard Lieut. Matheis
say that those who went over would re-
ceive a badge.
Corporal Amzi S. Waters testified
that he did not shoot the first day, but
went over to the range the next day
with Lieut. Matheis and qualified.
Private John Cunnyon, of Co. D.,
testified that he worked in the Lock
Factory with Latson, and had heard
him say that he did not care how the
inquiry came out, but he proposed to
make Lieut. Matheis lose the $125 he
had paid for his lieutenant’s uniform.
He did not know of a friend that Lat-
son had in the factory.
With the testimony of Musician Cur-
rier the inquiry was closed, and the
Court will make their report to the
Commander-in-Chief. What the out-
come will be no one can say, but it is
quite likely that a Court-martial will be
ordered, although the Commander-in-
Chief can, at his discretion, act upon
the report of the Court and dismiss the
accused.
