Their A wfuI Plot.

GENEVA, Ills, Dec. 15.-Sensational evil
dence was given in the Bauereissn trial by
Informer Alex Smith, who joined the
Brotherhood of Firemen short time previous
to the Burlington strike He testified that
the defendant hired him with Bowles to blow
up the residences of General Manager Stone
and nol-union engineers. and non-union
boarding houses Bauereisen also proposed
to the witness to throw dynamite cartridges
into the engine tanks so the firemen would
shovel them with the coal into the fire box
During Smiths recital the lawyers for the
defense We're greatly agitated. Bauereisen
smiled contemptuously as the informer un-
rayeled the plot.

Crops

The weather during the past week has
interfered with wheat and hay harvest
and the cultivation Of corn. The rain
and high winds that have prevailed, es>
pecially in the central division of the
state Frustrated the oats and reduced the
prospects for what promised to be the
largest crop Of oats ever harvested in
this state
The corn crop has made very rapid
growth during the past week, and except
in the ''Chinch bug region. is vigorous
and promises well Complaints of the
damage To this crop from Chinch bugs
are mainly from southern counties. Con
siderable corn stands much in need of
cultivation which has been DELAYED BY
the harvest and rains.
The oat crop was badly lodged in the
central division of the state by the
heavy rains ard winds on the Slh and
9th. In some localities oats have been
so Frustrated that three-fourths of the
crop cannot be harvested This crop
has been damaged in some portions of
the state by rust, more in the southern
division than elsewhere. Ia localities
where this crop has not been lodged there
will be Nh unusually large yield per acre
The heavy rains during the past week
have seriously interfered with the wheat
harvest in the central division of the
state. The harvest has demonstrated the
fact that the yield per acre in the winter
wheat belt OF the state is less than here
tofore estimated, and that the quality is
not up to an average The prospects for
spring wheat continue good, nOtwith>
standing the few complaints of the ap-
pearance OF rust in the northern portion
Of the state.
The hay crop is large and of better
quality than heretofore reported. THIS
is mainly owing to the heavy under>
growth, the result of rains, so much
needed by grass, early IN the season. The
frequent rains since the farmers com
menced cutting meadows have delayed
the harvest and reduced the quality of

Driver Fay of the West Chapel Street
 Line Stops the Horses and saves His Car From Destruction.
 Yesterday about 12 o'clock a pair of horses attached to one of the Mead's ice carts were
 standing on Chapel street near High. They
 became frightened at something and dashed up Chapel street at rapid pace, dragging the heavy ice wagon after them and threat ening demoralization to carriages along the
 way. AS it was they struck the delivery
 wagon of the Boston Blackboard company,
 taking wheel off. They then turned up
 West Chapel street. John Fay, driver of
 one of the West Chapel street cars, was l standing on the switch near Day street wait- | ing for the next car to pass, when he saw the
 team coming up the street. Realizing that
 the car was in imminent danger of being de~
 molished he jumped from the car and ! ran forward, grasping the heads of the in- furiated animals, and endeavored to bring them to @ srandstill. He did not fully sus- l ceed, as the heavy wagon struck the car, but at greatly reduced rate of speed, and but little damage was done. The breaking of two or three panes of glass in the car was the extent of the damage. If it had not been for the presence of mind of the driver and his prompt action the car would proabbly have been badly damaged. Mr. Mead, who was following in the wake of the runaways, pres sented Fay with new five dollar bill in ap- preciation of his services

A Yale Graduate Obtains Money
 FraudulentlY and Skips Out-His
 Wife a Stratford Lady.
 A Boston Herald dispatch from Kansas City says: About year ago Walter pela- cour, Yale graduate (of 1885, member of leading Baltimore family, arrived at Wichita, Kansas, with his family. He had letters of introduction and was soon admit ted to the best society. His legal knowledge was such that he was elected professor in Garfield university. He thus acquired a large business Tuesday he left the city and Thursday his wife received letter saying he would never return. He did loan busi- ness for eastern firms and got applicants to sign blank mortgages and notes, claiming by this means he could get the money, and the mortgages would be fully written when the money arrived for the applicant. He would then go to the register of deeds' office, find ont all the property owned by the appli- cant, insert it in the mortgage and get the money, but would not deliver it to the appli- cant. The whole amount fraudulently ob- tained is very large" Delacour's wife is the daughter of T. J. Beardsley of Stratford.

 Mir. D. s. Sanford, principal of the Stam- ford High school, who was recently appoint ed instructor in the Hillhouse High school by the local authorities and accepted the place at a salary of $2,0Oo, has finally con- cluded to remain in Stamford as his salary there has been raised to @, 100. He now be- lieves he can do more good in Stamford than he can in New Haven. The mem bers of the board of education here are impressed with the belief that he certainly can as he seems to have his weather eye on the salary. Mr. Sanford will probably never again have an opportunity to obtain employment in the New Haven schools.

 tant Leg1slatiOn by the Police Board.
 At the meeting of the selectmen last even ing Hobart L. Hotchkigs appeared in objec- tion to further continuance of the licenses to blast on West Rock heretofore granted to c. w. Blakeslee St Son, 0. K. Miller, James Lord, Cunningham & Son and Frederick Schuldt. MT. Hotchkiss presented lively picture of the risks to which human life and property on Mechanic street, Westville, were constantly exposed by reaso of pieces of rock flying through the air after the setting off of the mines in the blasting. Much property had been injured by the falling stones and children had narrowly escaped death from being crushed under rocks falling on the ground directly under the places where blast ing is in progress. Women had been SO frightened at the bombardment from the stone quarries that they had been made ill, roofs of houses had been broken through and the whole village was constantly disturbed and kept in alarm by the detonation of the blasting. Aaron Moffatt, Henry Monk and Henry Van Hoosen, the latter 8 resident for forty-one years on Mechanic street, made statements corroborative of those mads by Mir. Hotchkiss. Stones from Smiths and Blakeslee's quarries had struck the storehouse of the Beecher match factory
 Town Agent Reynolds advised the quarry men to hold a meeting and agree upon course of action which would not be obiec- tionable to the complainants and then to re- port to the selectmen.
 Complaint was made by MT. Monk of the dumping on the Mechanic street sidewalk of refuse. The matter was referred to the com- mittee on roads and bridges.
 Selectmen Reynolds and White were ap- pointed committee to report upon a notif- cation that the police board had made an order not to allow the lookup to be occupied by lodgers other than arrested persons after the 1st of June. In discussing the subject Town Agent Reynolds made the point that many poor persons while seeking from town to town for work were not to be classified as tramps, for such they were not, either in fact or within the meaning of the statute punish ing tramping. The police board in making their rule had assumed legislative functions and without apparently making provision for the accommodation of those needing nights shelter
