Very respectfully, J. r. TUCKER.
After receiving Mr.. fuckers refusal to
divide time, Mr. Yost proceeded to adj
dress the crowd which was principally
composed of mechanics, and it has rarely
been the good fortune of the writer to
listen to as able or as eloquent presenta-
tion of the political issues of the day. ~
1t is too late at night nowto attempt to
give you even an outline of Yost's speech.

pally upon the records of the two parties
on the educational and tariff questions. iu

publican party favored education. while

Tucker, We're tmfriendly to educating the

On the tariff issue Mr. Y ost was, partic-
ularly happy, and showed the benefits Of

of protection, and to fear the evils of Free

When Mr.. Yost had finished the Hon.

with loud and long applause, and we'll did

Opposing Parallels.

Requiring Petition Ofthe Hartford and Harlem ROad-DecistOn Reserved.
 Two parallel railroads waged war on small scale in the Superior court room yester- day. It was the Olmstead Parallel and the Hartford and Harlem again. The question at issue was the petition of the latter road for an extension of the time granted them for the expenditure of ten per cent. of their capi- tai. Simeon E. Baldwin backed up the petition by remarking that his road had been opposed in making their locations, and had been driven into litigation by several parties.
 Lewis N. Brown was the only witness called. He testified to the delay in construction that had been made by the opposition to the road in tho courts. Lawyer Warner of the Olmstead parallel cross. examined. The wit ness said that previous to the setting up of the determined opposition by the Connecticut and Air Line road, he had given his associ~ ates orders to proceed immediately with the construction of the road. He said that as to the layout the difficulty had all along been that the Hartford and Harlem could not al- ways avoid striking the very bad engineering of the Connections Air Line road. He an- nounced that the road had already expended $loO for piece of land in Orange, and had paid $1,O00 for @ right to purchase some other land near Bridgeport. The witness acknowledged that the $1, 100 was all that the company had expended towards the pur- chase of real estate. Their other expenses had been for engineering and surveying.
 Simeon E. Baldwin argued for an extension of the time, and elaborated the claims made in his petition.
 Lawyer Warner argued at length against | tbe petition on the ground that the only de- lay had been because of the negligence which | they themselves had shown in the construc- l ton of the road. He claimed that if the 1 Hartford and Harlem were legal corpora- l ton they themselves would know it if they l knew it no questions as to their legal status would hinder them from proceeding with the work. They could not sit down and wait until the question solved itself in the court before proceeding. He charged that the Hartford and Harlem were afraid of that quo warranto suit, SO afraid that they must buy up the man who brought up the suit in order to secure it's withdrawal
 MT. Baldwin argued in response and said the Air Line management opposed the psti- ton because they did not wish to see anyone else at work while they were idle
 Decision was reserved.

Yesterday some patent medicine adver- tisers climbed up the face of East Rock with the intention of painting an advertisement of their wares on the face of the rock. They were interrupted by the faithful patrolman Bisey Began, who arrested them and took them to the station house. They gave their names as Fred. Mead, Wilfred E. Rice and Winfield s. Nicholson.

A Hard Record.

The New London Wife Murderer's Career
 Of Cr1me-NOC Sorry for His Brutal
 Deed.
 John P. Kennedy, the ex-soldier who kill ed his wife as reported in this paper yester- day, has an ugly record. He was dis charged from the regular army, and served 8 two- years term on Governors Island for stabbing one of his fellow soldiers. He had only been out of jail, where he was serving a term for assaulting his wife, for short time when he murdered his wife in the presence of her mother. The woman had evidently been un- dressing when the attack was made upon her, for she was only clothed in chemise and petticost and had taken of one of her shoes. Kennedy has even during his short residence in New London acquired very un- desirable notoriety. He says that he is not in the least penitent for his deed. He is about 29 years old below the medium height and with intelligent features. His wife was Lizzie Drudy, 25 years old, short and sIen- der, and slightly lame from rheumatic af- faoNinn

Harvard and CoIumbia.

The Crews Ready for TO-Day's Race.
 NEW LONDON, Conn, June 17.-Both the Harvard and Columbia crews, which are to contest tomorrow, were on the course this evening. There was more splashing in the Harvard boat than has been noticed hereto fore. The most of it was done by the men forward. Aside from this trouble the men worked well together and sent their shell through the water at pace that no rowing Columbia has yet shown will be able to match The Harvard stroke varied from thirty three to thirty-six strokes per minute, but did not exceed thirty-six. The Colum- bias pulled fhirty-six to thirty eight to the minute, and 1t is apparent to every obser- yer that the crew is inferior to that of Cam bridge college. Very few college men are in town yet and but little interest is mani festsd in to-morrow's contest by the towns people. Harvard is the favorite at long ods. and barring accident the crimson will be borne over the finish line well in ad- vance of the blue and white There is DO betting on the result of the race although odds of 3 to 1 were offered by friends of Harvard this morning. The attendance at the race will probably not be very large. delegation of CoIumbias friends tonight and the Harvard men will arrive here to-mor- row afternoon.

Building Improvements.

Governor Engltsh's New Block Of R eSf- .
 dences-TsarinE Down Of the Major
 Barnes House on Orange StreOt-TO
 Be Reconstructed.
 Several noteworthy changes in building operations are being made.
 Ex-Governor English has begun excava- ting for the erection of @ handsome brick block on Wooster street. It will be @ credit to that section.
 On Orange street the house which was oc- cupied by Major T. A. Barnes and purchased recently by John c. Anderson, Esq, is al- ready all to pieces, and but little remains, except a small part of the first story. A force of workmen was hard at it yesterday and day before tearing it down. MT. Bart lett, the builder, was in charge of the msn. MT. Bartlett has purchased the house of MT. Anderson, through Beecher's agency, and is having the material transferred to 8 lot on Orange street, just above the Matthews resi- dences the tWo new residences recently completed about three blocks north of Ed wards street. The lot is already well cov- cred with fragments of corRioes, balconies, ornamental iron fences, timbers, etc. MT. Bartlett will use the material, most of which is in good condition, to erect 8 handsome house. The lot is fifty feet front and was purchased by him of the Whitney estate through their agent. MT. E. c. Beecher is experimenting the tearing down of the Barnes house for Mir. Anderson. The land on which it stood will be levelled off and grassed over into a lawn and the division line of granite coping will be taken up and replaced as the boundary between the Lester kLa A,,la !. change will be 8 very handsome improvement for the locality which Mir. Anderson has al- ready so much improved. The demolished Barnes house, with the improvements which it had been given, was considered worth as it stood about $9, 900.
 The Cover block on Orange street between Clark and Humphrey streets, next MT. Covers residence, is up and roofod and ready for the inside work. It is good ad- dition to the locality.

Winning The Game With BrOwn-A
 Poor Exhibition of Bali Playing.
 The binding sun seemed to have dispir- ting effect on the players of the Yale and Brown hines at Hamilton park yesterday morning. They played listlessly and without that snap which Yale usually exhibits. The crowd did less cheering than usual, although even the heat wa@ not oppressive enough to prevent them from laughing at Captain Hop- kins' ridiculous coaching. Through good batting and errors by Yale Brown obtained 8 good lead, but lost it in the seventh inning. Yale needs two more games to win the cham pionship and it is probable that she will beat Princeton Thursday, but rot likely that she can beat Harvard Saturday.

That was before it was known that the regiment would be entertained by the Grays. An official of the horse railroad company offered to transfer the company free of charge.
