Dlsgraceful Action of a Party of Drunken
Students at Yale College.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, March 20.-Yale
College is in fever of excitement over a
very stupid lark perpetrated by party Of
inebriated students last evening, when the
large bronze statue of the late Prof Benz
Silliman was dragged from it pedestal.
The statue was near the entrance to the
new recitation building. Ii is about eight
feet in highth and stood on a pedestal of
granite five feet high 1t is quite heavy,
and must have required the Efforts Of sew
eral sturdy fellows 10 overthrow it.
Between one and two o'clock this morn
ing a party of Juniors and sophOmores
ended their revels by coming on the cam
pus and arousing certain sophomore by
breaking all the glass in his front windows
and otherwise disturbing him. Not salts
fed with this they rosmed around 10
search of more mischief Finding large
rope in the new recitation building they
placed it around the neck Of the statue
and pulled it from its pedestal to the
RiOuuu. III ialAibE AoAEC PANND Noo
broken from the pedestal, the neck of the
statue badly cracked and the body slightly
damaged. After finishing this the stu
dents sawed some of the fencs and ram
sacked the new recitation hall.
1t was rumored this morning that the
same party, while coming up Chapel street,
had broken several windows in buildings
along the WY. The faculty have been
busy all day making inquiries, bat refuse
to talk on the subject, save to cay that a
full investigation will he made and the
perpetrators expelled. Several Of the pro
fessors spoke Of tie matter in their recita-
tion rooms Professor Ladd told his class
that it was low lived, dss,srdly outrage
and an insult to the institution which all
ought to love, an iusnlt to the members OF
the faculty who are related to Professor Sill
liman." Professor Sumner said ut isl the
most disgrsceful and idiotic action have
ever known since have been connected
with the college. 1t is quite evident that
there are some men in college who have no
business here. 1t was a gross indignity to
Professor Silliman, who did SO much for
Yale"
The affair has created decided sensation
in college circles. The statue was repaired
and put in place to-day.

A PICTURESQUE OLD Inn.

The Hollingsworth Inn is to day occu-
pied as a private dwelling house, but it's
appearance, externally and internally,
has undergone little change since the
days when Gen. Washington made it his
stopping place. 1t is built of English
brick, and its walls are nearly two feet
thick. Windows and doors are deeply
recessed, and cornices, gables and caves
are of style of architecture belonging
to the past, though the general effect OF
the building is quite modern, owing to
the addition of wings and outhouses.
Within one sees the oldtime locks, hinges
and window fastenings, the great brass
door-knobs and the generous fire. places
of century ago. The house originally
stood on the outskirts of the town, but it
is now not far removed from the busiest
portion of the community.
When Washington had finished his
dinner the horses were again put before
the carriage and the citizens of Head of
Elk pade the party adieu.
There were lively times in Elkton, or
Head of Elk, while Washington was on
his way to New York. An old crone,
named Jane CLARK, kept a drinking saloon
in the town, at which all sorts of disrep.
utable characters copgregated. The day
George passed through row occurred
between two drunken soldiers. One OF
them, a negro named Forteen Stodder,
