BURGLARY WORK IN A MILAN ExPLosroN.
 Dec. 12.-As the business portions of this town are nearly half mile from the railroad station. where the express office is located, 1t hes long been great inconvenience to the majority of people. Agent orrin Lamson has persistently endesvored to have better facilities established and has at last succeed- ed, the Adams Express company having leased the Y. M. O. A. building on Main street, where they will 1t once fit up an up- town office. This action meets with popu- lar approval. Southington is quite "neigh- borly" with surrounding towns nov, having private daily express routes to Hartford, New Haven and Meriden-A feature which is appreciated by all, except local merchants.
 Burglars gained entrance to the oface of F. B. Atwater's grist mill, in Plantsvills, early Thursday morning, by prying open . door. They drilled hole in the top of the safe, filled twin explosives. and blew oil the door, obtaining $19 in cash and revol- yer. In the morning tho room was found to be full of smoke and the contents of the safe were scattered about. Tho hands of . clock in the building, evidently stopped by the explosion, indicated the tine of 2:45 .. m. The hardware store of L. W. RobbiHa was also broken into but nothing of value was taken

 Excavations for the foundation of the gym nasium are pushed slowly. The foundations will probably be started about the 1ss of Feb ruary.
 The finishing touches are being put on the Chittenden library. A mistake was made in the architecture of the reading room. Four large pillars were placed in the western wall to give support where the large window is Some of the figures and representations were thus hidden from view and the general effect and beauty of the window Is marred. These large pillars have been removed and smaller ones will be substituted. But even with smaller pillars the window will not be seen with as good effect as if they were entirely away. The window is one on which Mir. Tiffany spent one years labor, and the result of his work is one of the most beautiful pieces of art that he has ever produced. There are over twenty figures, representing all the virtues and arts. Two cases will be placed in the large room, in which will be placed valuable coin collection which Yale has possessed for some time, but the coins
 
 Christmas vacation eighty thousand volumes will be transferred from the old into the new library.
 W. c. Camp is preparing an article on track athletics at Yale, which will soon ap- pear in Harper's or the Outing.
 Harvard is in continual trouble, at present in athletics. A charge was made against Captain Linn of the Harvard nine of having tried to induce by money payments and a choIo of kha TTpivop. sity of Pennsylvania to come to Harvard and play base ball. MT. Hooper of the Harvard athletic committee has taken the pains to find out the truth or falsity of this statement and finds that Captain Linn made no such proposals nor has anyone else who was acting in any olicial capacity for Harvard. The Harvard Crimson says 1t Is the work of some of Harvard on athletics and who is trying to nut Harvard in false light. Princeton has taken . hand in tho row and casts shis mat tor into the teeth of Harvard men. During all the athletic controversy and trouble Yale stands aloof and holds her peace.
 Prof. Wheeler announced to the seniors yesterday that the examination in English History would take place Saturday afternoon at four o'clock. The examination was to take place last Tuesday, but as the papers were locked in the treasury safe Prof. Wheel CT had to postpone 1t.

THE HIsTORIOAL SOCIETY. An Interesting Paper by Professor '. W. Heppin Upon an ola English Chronicle.


 An Interesting Paper by Professor
 '. W. Heppin Upon an ola English
 Chronicle.
 An interesting paper upon An Old English Chronicle was read to the Historical society last evening in the Common Pleas court room by Prof. J. W. Hoppin, of the Yale Art school. President Dwight, Rev. Dr. Mun- ger, Rev. Dr. Harwood, Judges Deming and Pickett, Eli Whitney, Thomas R. Trowbridge, Hugh Daley, Gen. E. E. Bradley, Prof. F. R. Hovsv and many ladies were among the attentive listeners.
 Prof. Hoppin read many passages from tho quaint old English Chronicle. They were illustrative of interesting points of history and the old manner of life of the Britons. He interspsrsed his readings with admirable bits of description, those of Furness, Abbey and Runnymede being conspicuously com. plste and beautiful. His closing remarks upon the English government were admira- ble. However much the old element of Nor man force may finger In English institutions, said he, the government will always remain what 1t is, . strong one and one of the peo. 
 pie. Both Saxons and Normans, who com binsd to make the English people, were men of strong ideas. In them we An6 the true and great ideas of popular government more than in ancient Greece or Italy. It is upon these ideas that our own government is founded, and these are bound to ultimately work out the perfect freedom of the race. After Prof. Hoppin had finished President Dwight oomplimented him on his paper. Prof. Hoppin is almost prince of travellers, he said, and have never read any of his ac. counts of his travels, but that have wished that had been his fellow traveller. Presi dent Dwight proposed . vote of thanks.
 Rev. Dr. Munger, in seconding this, said that Prof. Hoppins "old England" wal acknowledged e the best guide book in sxistsncs upon England, and that the present paper was eminsntly At to be incorporated with the other excellent sketches in ths, beck.
 After the society had adjourned the direo tors held . meeting. Nothing but routine business was established.

An Old Dodge of Robblng Heusss =
 Tho Fellow Eaters Two ResiAsnces
 Yesterday - A H0use sn St. John
 Street Burglarixsd.
 Yesterday morning at about II o'clock a young man rang the door bell of George E. Maltby's house at 190 Oak street. Mrs.
 Maltby was not at home, and the servant
 answered the bell.
 The stranger stated that hs was inspecting
 furnaces and regulators for insurance agents,
 and that he had come to make an inspection
 there.
 The servant girl took him first into the
 cellar to zee the furnace. then into all the
 rooms whore there are registers. Upstairs was Mrs. Maltby's room. When he got there he saw his chance and asked the girl to go down the cellar and turn on the heat, a he thought tho furnace was out of order. The girl left, and then the fellow put in
 his pocket pair of diamond earrings and 2 solitaire diamond ring.
 When the girl returned he said everything
 was all right and he very graoiously bowed himself out.
 Mrs. Msltby discovered her loss about 8 o'clock, and the police were notified. The same fellow got into an Elm street residence the aams way, and stole pocket book with small sum in 1t. The police warn the public against this imposter, and to let no one into their houses to inspect things unless they know who the person is.
 No Cluo Co tho Thieves. The police have not been successful in finding any clue to the thieves who bur- glarized the house of Charles H. Cough, at 1s7 St. John street, Wednesday night. It is evident that the work was done by amateurs, but whether by the same ones who have per- petrated the recent string of burglaries the detectives do not know. The house-breakers did their work between and 10 o'clock on Wednesday evening, while the members of the family were at fair at Davenport church. They first tried to get in through the side door, where they broke 8 pane of glass; then at the hack door and finally found an entrance through rear window. They ransacked the house from top to bot tom. All they thought worth taking was a ladies' gold watch, chain and charm belong- ing to Mrs. Cough, and $20 in money which belonged to Charles E. Jones, who lives on the second floor.
 Detective Reilly was at work on the case all day yesterday, but could not find any valuable clue to the houss-breakers.
