Winter still lingers, etc. Yesterday's Marchy weather, blustering wind's and clouds of dust recalled to many people the words of appeal of Dr. S. G. Hubbard at - the city hall the other night, for a proper watering of the streets as a sanitary meas ure. People generally who were out doors much yesterday were led to reflecting re garding the quantity of dost that they most have inhaled before night fall. After dark the heavy snow squall came to the rescue and laid the dust a little, but in New Haven dust will not down, -but rises on the slightest provocation, and, as citi zens often remark, it gets dusty in New Haven in twenty-four hours after the hea- viest rainfalls.

Mr vm.-u a.m.... , t The Gubernatorial Question to As sume a New Form Judge Ittorris Will Contest the Election u Warranto Proceedings The State's Finances No Cause for Alarm Over Appropriations Talk on the Sub ject. , The Connecticut muddle took on a new aspect yesterday. Great public interest centers npon the question what will Judge Morris do now, the republican house hav ing executed its master stroke of policy by adjourning, tiius leaving Governor Bulke- ley in the chair of state and the democrats in a quandary, and everybody wondering what's coming next in Connecticut's re markable series of state tableaux. Demo crats and republicans all over the state are looking to Judge Morris and, Micawber like, are waitina for something new to turn up. Mr. Morris solved the conun drum yesterday. To reporters who inter view him and who enquired of him if he proposed soon to begin quo warranto pro ceedings on xne guuernaiuritu uoiuuu, Mr. Morris replied in the affirmative. Fnrther than that he would not state, and in vain were all efforts to sound the learned iudee further on this in teresting subject. From eminent demo cratic authorities yesterday the information gleaned tbat Mr. Morns contemplates pre senting in abont two weeks hiB casein court. The quo warranto proceedings will be, of course, directed against Governor Bulkeley to compel mm to snow Dy wnai rieht he holds office as governor of onr little commonwealth. This it will be easy for Governor Bulkeley to show, under the constitution, that precious document giv ing him the office until some one else be comes leeallv his successor, but it is ex pected, of course, that the quo warranto proceedings will go further and probe deener into the case. Whether tne en quiry will go behind the returns remains to do seen. In all probability ex-Governor Inzer soil and Judge Henry Stoddard will be the counsel for Mr. Morris. Whether the other democratic state officials, Messrs. Alsop, Sanger and Phelan will join with Mr. Morris in the court proceedings is not known at present. They very likely will. Judee Morris' advisers, it is reported, say that there is no necessity for hurry in . . , i mi i a l. l l : J tliy matter. Auere its a Hiruiig pruuauiiibv tbat such proceedings will not be insti tuted anyway until after the decision of Executive Secretary Brainard's suit against Comptroller Staub. At the bot tom of that case is the complaint which must necessarily be the foundation of writ of quo warranto, that is that Bulke ley is not governor. Thus Judge Morris cau obtain in that collateral suit, a judi cial decision in which will give him some grounds for hope or shatter all ne has. General Merwin continues his attitude of silence, preferring that dignified policy to mat ot rushing into print under tne nreeent aspects ot tne situation The democratic papers saw evidences in Governor Bulkeley's demeanor over the adjournment matter to warrant their stat ing that hs was more than exultant over the situation, that he was in fact jolly and exuberant, and also assert that three fourths the republican members of the house were averse to the long adjourn ment. It was predicted at Hartford yesterday by leading representatives of both parties tbat tne House would come togetner tne last of May or the fore part of June to set tle tne Question of appropriations. On the subject, the Hartford Post of yes terday afternoon assures Its readers that there is no cause for alarm and goes on as follows: People are asking how the state institutions are i;oing to be supported now that the house has ad ournod until fall l.-.ivingthe deadlock unbroken, n some quarters au inclination is shown to hold the republicans n sponsible should the necessary funds not be fan homing and in certain others fears are xiik-sxmI lest serious troubles may ensuet - Neither point H well taken, since, in the first place, the lum-uhas passed the usual appropria tions and it will be the senate's own fault if it does not pas? them in concurrence. In the sec ond place, serious trouble is going to happen even if the R';utre refuses to concur, so long as Morgan G. butkcley is at the headof affairs in Connecticut. Said a gentleman this morning who knows the governor vei-y well and who has closely studied the situation: -The senate will surely not care to take the adkrchial step of refusing to pass any appropriation bills whatever when the statutes so clearly promise that It is their duty to do so. It would be a responsibility that they would hardly dare to shoulder. But if the senate should ad- in going ahead in co-operation with the treasurer ana comptroller and paying every liability of the state that is authorized by law. Even if the comptroller held aloof the governor and treasu rer could, under the circumstances, go ahead by themselves and arrange matters. But depend upon it," he added, with an air of conviction, "the senate will pass these bills in concur rence." Nobody can say that the house has not done its duty in regard to the appropriation bills. It has passed a resolution accepting the direct tax and another accepting the agriculture endow ment act beside the usual appropriation bills and the act authorizing the comptroller and treasurer to settle all legal liabilities the amount of which are fixed by statute. The appropriations are substantially the same as those passed two years ago, with some reductions. Wherever there was a deficiency enough was added to make the amount good and wherever a surplus in the estimates was found the amount was re duced by so much. It takes about a million dollars a year, outside of the schools and the interest on the public debt, to run the state, or an average of $85,000 a month. The school moneys, amounting to some $400,000, have just been paid, except the $10,000 deficiency. The interest on the debt of the state amounts to $115,000 annually, and this sum the treasurer is authorized to pay without any espe cial appropriation having to be made. Then it should also be remembered that the various boards concerned are empowered to borrow money for this running of the schools and the care of paupers. Another fact that should be borne in mind is that on account of the adjournment of the house with the resulting absence of legislation, no ex traordinary appropriations, such as additions to normal schools, prisons, hospitals, etc., or public monuments or enterprises of various sorts, will have to be made. The money is coming right along into the treasurer's office so there will be no lack of funds if only a key may be found with which to unlock the vaults. The insane hospital has some money of its own; but the soldiers home, the normal schools, hospitals, agricultural schools will all need money shortly as well as the courts, pnsons,and, in short, all of the iudiciarv departments. It is hoped and expected that the senate will do its duty in the premises; but if it happens otherwise, then the citizens of the state will look to Governor Bulkeley and his associates in office to save tne credit oi uonnecucut.

The repairs will take some time, but the damage to the locomotive is not serious and is covered by a few hundred dollars.

The damaged locomotive has been gazed at by many-railroad- men at the shops with particular interest from the fast that aa a result of the accident it hung over " the yawning abyss below the Htman viaduct almost balanced, nearly one-hal of it pro jecting over the chasm. - It we Very near ly QMMMM an ins eag oi W piOlplos, Recommendations by the Ordinance Committee Relating to Contagious Diseases.

Franklin Warner, esq., was pre sented at this house last evening for the first time on any stage before an audienc which completely filled the spacious audi torium. Among the audience were many managers and theatrical critics from Bos ton, New York, Philadelphia and other cities, all of whom were unanimous in their praise of the merits of this, the latest of all spirants in the operatic line, for pub- lio favor. The scene of the opera, which is in three acts and thoroughly Ameri can, is laid in New York, Washington and the Arctic seas. The story of the opera is new and is exceedingly well worked up, and contains many situations that are humorous and ludicrous in the extreme. The music is more than usually sparkling and bright, while the songs are lively and last evening were unusually well rendered, particularly was this the case in the second act, when the solo of Miss Beatrice Goldie was rendered with an ability which fully merited the applause with which it was received. The opera contains many bon mots. Among the specially good things which may be noted were the work of the policemen in the first act and the introduction of snch familiar characters as the impersonations of President Harrison, secretary Blaine, Jerry Simpson and others in subsequent acts. Of the work of the company naught but praise can be said, when it is borne in mind thtt last night was their first ap pearance in this opera, rue principals ac quitted themselves admirably, and their efforts were duly recognized and appre ciated. Of the principals, Miss Goldie, Miss Carrie Tutein, the soubrette, Mr, Will Henshaw and Mr. Thomas C. Peasley won instant recognition in consequence of tneir good wore, ana tne auet rendered by Miss Goldie and Mr. Peasley was hon orea witn an encore. That there are several places in the opera which will require caref ui pruning was evidenced by the presentation last evening and these will be attended to at once. On the whole, however, the production can be set down as a wonderful success for an American opera by an American author, The scenic effects are unusually grand and have been specially prepared for this production by John A. Thompson of the Hollis street theater, Boston. The most effective of all the scenes is that used in the third act, which represents a ship frozen m among the icebergs and surrounded with Esquimaux, after which follows the breaking np of winter and the disappearance of tbe icebergs. This same scene will be on exhibition at the opera houBe free of charge this afternoon be tween the hours of 2 and 4. "Influence" will be presented this and to-morrow even ings and to-morrow afternoon, after which the company goes to Pittsburg for a week, and thence to the South Broad street thea ter, Philadelphia, for a long run, "Lights and Shadows," the best of Charles Gailer's dramas, will hold the boards the first half of next week. HTPERIOS THEATER. The long anticipated presentation of "Antigone" takes place this evening. It is earnestly desired by the management tnat tne audience wear lull evening dress, and in response to this many ladies have signified their intention to dispense with bonnets. The rehearsal last evening was in every way satisfactory, and was attend ed by a few friends of the performers and by representatives of leading New York newspapers. The stage pic ture is a very orilliant one and it is evident that the promoters of the entertainment have done everything in their power to make it a success. The costumes are not only elegant, but are most tasteful, and this is due in a great measure m we eiaoorate s tenoning by Mr. Charles Schenck of this city and to Miss Lewis, daughter of ex-Mayor Lewis, to whom is due the harmonious blending of colors. This assistance was generously of- rerea ana mgniy appreciated. it will be strange indeed if New Haven's first at tempt at Greek drama does not prove to oe tne tneatncai event ot tne season. Denman Thompson's great play of "The Old Homestead" will be the attraction Fri day and Saturday of next week. proctor's opera house. The Night Owls- Beauty show which opened last evening can truthfully be ranked as one of the best burlesque troupes on the road. The company is made np of first class variety artists and their acts and songs are new and novel. It is a great improvement upon any company of this sina mat nas previously presented here this attraction Manager Manchester han added many new artists and faces to his company, and he has succeeded in gathering together a troupe that is first class in every feature. The performance opened with a lively skit, -'Our Social Club," which afforded ample opportunity for such artists as Fanny Lewis, Nettie Hoffman, Lizzie Raymond, Dave Foster and Frank Clayton to display their talent.

Dr. Stalker's First Lecture In Mar- uand Chapel Audience Crowded Words introductory to the Course. Rev. Dr. James Stalker delivered yester day the first of his lectures in the Lyman Beecher course to the divinity students in Marquand chapel. He is from Glasgow, Scotland. It is the first time he has been American soil, and, as he stated, he has a warm admiration for many things American. The chapel was packed to the doors, and many were unable to get in and had to turn away, Here are a few of the things which he said: "The idea of col lege life is that you are here gaining the theories which you will afterward put into practice. The faculties on which suc cess depends aTe very different in the world from what they are here in college. The creative intellect is for the college, but for life you need the prastising intellect. Of my classmates I might mention two who distinguished themselves one (Professor urummona; in the imagination, but the other possessed the power to sway the minds of men. Now studsnts are criticising men. They criti cise everybody. What a lot is said of the professors behind their backs! I fancy if man v oi tnem Knew ie luey wuuiu ue m i aiu to retain their positions. And it is the ... . ji. . i 11 1 r !J same with clergvmen -and other prominent men. But the moment you leave tms nan for the business of life you will pass from being the criticising to the criticised, and will have other eves turned on you. A man is not long in public life before all sorts of faults can be found4a him. But do not think I have come here to dissuade you from criticism. Men ' successors have an undoubted right to criticise them, and the succeeding generation its predeces sor. "The population has been increasing fast. There is now a Protestant church for every two thousand population in Glas gow. But has the amount of practical Christianity increased in tbe same propor tion? There Is but one man in the church for every thousand. That is not Christ ianity that can be satisfied till the whole lump is leavened. Vice flourishes side by side with Christianity. In what direction can we look for hope? Only in the direc tion of those entering the ministry. It requires men willing to sacrifice and to consecrate themselves. We cannot do better than follow the examples ot Uhrist and his apostles. Apostolic spirit is embodies mostly in St. Paul's, and that, too, not only in his life but in his writings. It is not the character or life of St. Paul that I wish to paint you may find that in multitudes of books but his spirit. The faculty hinted to me before I stepped on to this platform that I might do well to present the subject from a tresh point of view." Greater laughter. "The value of these lectures lies in what are called confession, that is, records of experience. I will finish this miscellaneous introductory lecture by this point. I believe in preaching and that it is very far behind what it might do and ought to do. I believe in it because it has the stamp of Christ. Paul said 'Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel.' Of course I recom mend visitation of the sick, taking part in oenencent schemes, and so on but preach ing is the central thing. People say. in deed, 'Would it not be better to teach peo ple to come to church to speak to God and not to hear a man?' Bnt it is not hear a man, but the voice of God.lt is good to speak to God, but you should also let God speak to you. Preaching often disparaged, because, they say the printing press has superseded the preacher. One time it did good, when books were only for the learned. But when two or three are met together God's name, they cannot but mutually express their thoughts. It is a thing whose place no books can ever take, What, too, does the press amount to for the multitude? The world has become far larger and more interesting one for the common man, and this makeB it far more necessary for him to know the prin ciples of sight." The subject will be continued this after noon at 6 o clock. Dr. Smith Recovered. Dr. M. Smith of Pearl street, who has been confined to his house during the last two weeks with the grip, is now able to be out again and attend to his patients. In the Tunnel. The New York board of railroad com missioners has withdrawn its restriction as to speed of trains in favorable weather in the Fourth avenue tunnel, New York city, upon the condition that the railroad com pany station a man at each home signal with a torpedo to put on the track when the signal is set at danger, and with in strnction to go back to warn following trains should a train become stalled near the home signal, and upon the further con dition that duplicate low signals be con struct-d between the tracks so that both the engineer and fireman can see them. A NEW CORPORATION. The Tonlca Sprlnss Company Ready for Business. The Tonica Springs company was or ganized last Monday under the charter granted by the legislature in 1889 with capital of $50,000. The officers ar: A, Willard Case, president; A. Wells Case, treasurer; W. W. Lyon, secretary and manager. The object of the company is to introduce the Highland mineral waters and ultimately to build a hotel and estab lish a Bummer resort at Highland Park. Mr. Lyon will personally superintend the bottling house and give his entire time to pushing the business. The Highland News, which has been published by Messrs. Case brothers for the purpose of advertising their waters, is to be succeeded by the Tonica Springs Record, a monthly paper of twenty-iour pages. The curative powers of Tonica Water have been demonstrated daily, and al though, on account of other enterprises wnicn demanded their attention, the Messrs. Case have not pushed the water business. Orders have been pouring in steadily all through the year. Manchester Saturday neraja, marcn zo. . special IJtotttaes.
