A couple of young fellows entered a saloon near the center, last night, and while the proprietor was engaged mak- ing fancy pool shot, one of them reached over the bar, seized a roll of bills containing ST, and fled. The saloon keeper followed with a rush, but was tripped by the cue he held in his hand, and fell in a heap, the thief making good his escape. The saloon-keeper in- tercepted the fellow at the Naugatuck station this morning, as he was about to leave town, and persuaded him to return half of the money. He promised to make full restitution later, and will not be prosecuted.

The encore is in bad form." And those who have protested against the nuisance are glad of it. That the encore is a nuisance every theatre goer knows full well. It is an infringement upon the right of those who object to it for the reason that it interferes with their enjoyment of what they pay to see or hear-a symmetrical performance. It is an unjustitiable demand by individ- uals who want more than they pay for. A little of it is refreshing; more than that becomes utterly int0lerable. Now then. you stampers, forSwear the habit.

Hilarious Harvard.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, November ~
The Harvard eleven detected the Yale
team here this afternoon bya score of T. to
6, in one of the most brilliant games in the
history of football. Both teams played
like clockwork, and for the first half Meth
er was able to score, though Yale was the
aggressor throughout, with strong wind
in her favor. In the second half, when the
teams changed sides, Harvard forced the
fighting. winning her two touch
downs. though the Yale fought
like fiends. The crowd was greater
than that of last year, which was reckoned
at from $1,000 to 10000. The Yale and
Harvard yells were kept up without cessa-
ton. and when the Harvard scored the first
touch down, the men and women jumped
up and down on their seats Even the l?5
policemen were pounced upon and their
helmets smashed. The Havards marched
through the streets, after the game, and
red fire blazed everywhere.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., November 22-The
walls of a new brick building in the course
of erection by Wells, Fargo Il Co., on Pa
vania avenue, suddenly fell this morning
burying a large number of men in the
ruins. The police, firemen and ambulances
were soon on the spot and the work of ex-
Treating the buried men commenced. From
underneath the big pile of brick and tim
bers were heard faint calls for help. we
are being crushed to death; ~ "For Gods
sake, help us out" While willing hands
tore away the bricks from the MANNED per-
sons underneath, others pulled away iron
girders and heavy blocks of wood As fast
as the ambulances arrived the injured were
put in them and sent to the hospital. BY
10: 30 eight masons, twelve iron workers
and fifteen laborers had been taken out and
sent TO the hospital.
fatal, and IL is probable number of them
will die. One man is known to be dead,
his body crushed beneath the heavy iron
girders on the first floor. Thus far the
men have been unable to- pull the grders off
him.
The mason work was being done by Jas.
Brennan. He was experimenting il at the
time of the crash, but was uninjured. 1t
was understood that the iron girderS which
were used in the construction of the build
ing were too heavy for the brick work. 1t
is believed that the weight bore down the
east wall, causing it to collapse. Tire other
walls remain standing The men are still
being taken out of the ruins, and it is be-
lieved that number more are still confined
in the ruins.
Following are the names of the killed
and injured Killed

about 81 years old; skull fractured and

Sensation in Turf Circles-A Colored
Jockey and White Jockeys Wife.
NASHVILLE, November 22.-Quite SEN
sation was sprung here to-day in turf cir
cles when il became known that mob of
citizens had banded together a few nights
since to administera coat of tar 10 the col
ored Jockey, T. NJ. Britton, and the white
woman, Lilly Richardson. the supposed
wife os Jockey Fred Richardson. IL ap-
pears Britton has been paying court to the
lady in question, and the neighbors say
there is unmistalable evidence that the
Jockey hiss also been playing the husbands
part: at least, he has been seen coming in
and out of the house where she was stop
ping at all hours OF both day and night.
The boarding house is kept by man
named Camp Stone, and has long been UNI

man has, however, never before been mo-
Tested by the neighbOrs but white woman
and colored man being 50 intimate, even
though the latter was u successful jockey,
was the last straw TO break the camelS
back. so an Indignation meeting was held,
and everything cut and dried TO make things
lively for the guilty pair. At the last mo-
ment, however, IL was concluded not TO
bring the unpleasant tar and feathers into
play, as il was ascertaincd that the black
Jockey ana MS endmOrcu lazy WOulu Ie'Nc
with the hegira at the conclusion Of the
meeting here tomorrow.
They purpose, however, to prevent an
other such escapadc by calling the coming
Grand Jury's attention to the people Camp
Stone permits TO inhabit his questionable
boarding house. BrittOn, who figures as
the Adonis in this escapaGe, has been quite
successful as jockey this season, both in
the East and West
Fred Richardson, the husband of the
lady in question, has not been here for the
past two weeks, and it is presumed he IS
ignorant of his wife's remarkable infatua-
ton She is well known in all the big
cities, and at all the race meetings in the
west for the last few years has been Il
daily frequenter Of the grand stand.

SUICIDE
ARIST0CRATIC NEW YORK STARTLED BY
AWFUL SCREAMS.
Woman of the Swell Society Of Brooklyn Hires
High Room In a Hotel, and Then Leaps
Out to Her Death-The Dramatic Feat
ure Of Her Sad Ending.

New YORK, November 22.-A frightful
suicide occurred at the PierrepOnt Hotel,
the SWEETEST house on the heights of Brook
lyn'S most aristOcratic neighborhood, this
afternoon. a handsome, richly.dresSed
woman leaped from window in the sixth
floor of the hotel, and was dashed TO death
on the pavement, about 100 feet below.
She was Mrs. Charles A. Coombs, of No.
5 South Elliot Place, another one OF the
Brooklyn swell neighbOrhood. She
was the wife of the son of
the newly-elected Congressman for
the Third district. About 1890 o'clock, a
handsome and fashionably dressed woman
went up TO the hotel desk and said Il
would like to secure the highest room in
the hotel. | am troubled with palpitation
of the heart, and would like TO be away
from. all excitement
She was attired in dark clothing and
wore rich looking Astrachan cape. Her
appearance was such that Manager Case,
without hesitation conducted her to room
on the sixth floor. When he left her at
the room door she asked him 10 send up a
pint bottle of wine He did so, and
few minutes later the bell
rang for the chambermaid. As the
chambermaid entered the door she saw
the woman standing in the centre of the
room. with wine glass at her lips, and
the windows in her room was open to the
full height. The chambermaid had barely
got inside the door when the woman dashed
the wine glass to the floor, and without
word rushed 10 the window and threw her
self headlong out.
She turned over and over in her descent,
and struck with terrific force on the roof
of the extension of the hotel. Her body
bounded off of the roof and landed on a
large flower urn standing in front of the
hotel. Then il rolled off on the grating of
the cellar on the sidewalk. The fright
ened chambermaid ran screaming
from the room the instant the wo-
man took her awful leap, and
her wild cries quickly aroused the inmates
of the house. Two messengers had seen
the body come turning, tumbllng down and
their alarm brought hundreds to the scene
to swell the horror-stricken crowd, which
poured out of the hotel. No one appeared
to know her, and as she had not registered,
Manager Case did not know her name.
The body was removed TO the Adams
street station house, and a search Of her
pockets disclosed the name and address on
a bill. An officer informed the mother of
Mrs Coombs that her daughter had been
injured and took her TO the station house.
When she saw the body of her daughter
she tainted. The body was subsequently
removed to her mothers house. The de-
ceased has been married for the past seven
years, but lately has suffered from i'll
health, and at the time was undoubtedly
suffering from Il temporary alteration of
the mind.

War Department Advices.

WASHINGTON, November 22.-The War
Department has authorized the number Of
Indian scouts in the divisions of the Dako
tas to be increased by five hundred men.
They will be selected from among the dis
ciplined Indians The law limits the num-
Der of Indian scouts to LOCO, and this order
places most of them at the seat of trouble.
Major General Schofield said every hour
that passed without an outbreak bright
ened the prospect of peace. He had rea-
son to believe the majority of the Indians
were on the side of peace. Secretaries
Proctor and Noble were in consultation
this afternoon with the President, who
has manifested great interest in the sub
ject, and it was decided that two regiments
of cavalry should be sent at once to Pine
Ridge.
Dispatches were received at the depart
ment this morning from Gen. Miles 10 the
effect that the separation of the friendly
and the turbulent Indians is proceeding
rapidly at Pine Ridge. The kilograms
also state that the Messiah craze is rapidly
extending in the North and across the
Canadian line under the operation Of Sit
ting Bulls emissaries.

A CIRCULAR LETTER
To Unaffected Agencies BY the Acting
Commissioners of indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, November 22.-Acting In
dian Commissioner Bell has sent the fol-
lowing circular to all Indian a AGENTS, except
10 the agents of the tribes in the Dakotas ::
Your attention is invited to the prevail
ing threatening excitement among the
Sioux, of North and South Dakota, and
some other Indian tribes connected with
the ''Ghost Dance of which you are
doubtless posted by pr ess reports or other
wise. 1t is very important in view of the
tendency of such excitement TO spread and
obtain a general hold upon the Indians, that
this Office be kept advised as to the condi-
tion of affairs at the agency, with view TO
the adoption of all proper precautionary
measures to prevent an outbreak of the
Indians, and to enforce obedience by
them to all regulations of this department.
You are therefore instructed TO keep
this Office fully posted by letter-or by
telegraph if the emergencies should re
Quire it-of the condition and temper of
the Indians under your charge, showing
whether any excitement or spirit of dis
obedience to order or the regulations of this
department which may exist among them
is growing: whether an outbreak is threat
ened thereby and what measures should in
your opinion be adopted to preserve peace,
or enforce obedience to the orders of this
bureau by the Indians. ! do not desire
any sensational reports on the subject, but
wish to be kept advised as to actual facts
upon which 10 base action to prevent
trouble from the Indians.

THE LIFE LYMPH.
THERE is SOME KICKING ON THE PROGRESS
OF THE PATIENTS
Who Are Being Treatsd-Deiendsrs Of Prof Koch
Say that Too Much is Expected Lymph
Scarce, and Too Many Merosnary Doe
tors on the Ground.

BERLIN, November 22-The bestowal by
Emperor William, of the Grand Cross OF
the Order of the Red Eagle upon Prof.
Koch was gazetted tonight. This is the
first time that this decoration has been be-
slowed upon any one who did not possess
the preceding classes of the order Though
confidence in the ultimate value of Prof.
Koch's discovery do not abate, public dis
appointment over the immediate results of
the treatment grows daily. Prof Koch's
assistants, Drs. Levy and Cornell and
others estimate the number of cases
already treated at about LOO. The
greater number of these were suffering
from exterior tuberculosis. and are pro-
crossing. There were comparatively few
cases of tuberculosis on the lungs The
experts are beginning to concur IN the
opinion that Il cure of this disease by the
treatment is uncertain. Prof. Koch dis
claims responsibility for the statements
put in his mouth in regard TO his expert
ments. He blames the press for raising
exaggerated hopes of instant benefit in
every form of tuberculosis.
Prof. Nirchow. speaking in the Ncdicui-
iSche GcSellschdt, referred TO the subsistence
Of the enthusiasm, but defended Prof Koch
against the charge of prematurely publish
ing his discovery. Prof Koch, lie said,
only consented 10 the disclosures already
made at the request of Minister Von GOSs-
Ter, and several of his medical colleagues,
Drs. Vircrow, Levy and Boergmaun.
Every one in Prof. Koch's confidence sup
ports his protest against the sensational
anticipations regarding the results of the
remedy.
Prof Stellwag, of the Vienna Uniycr-
sity, addressing the students, advised
them to be cautious in eXpectancc, beliey-
ing only what Prof. Koch has directly
stated So far, added Prof. Stellwag, the
possibility of the cure of lupus alone mas
been proved, while it has not been scien-
tifically established that lupus arises from
the same bacillus that is associated with
lung tubercles.
Patients who are crowding the hospitals
Justly complain of the suspension of their
treatment owing to the alleged want of
lymph. Favored doctors have pirate
clinics, get supplies and charge from - 10
100 marks for a single incubation, while
poor patients, on whom experiments are
tried. are lying in the Charity Hospital.
Their treatment has been interrupted and
their disease threatens 10 become aggra-
waited.
Prof Koch will prosecute series of ey-
periments with a view of discovering rem
edies for scarlet fever, measles, typhus
and other epidemics. He is in capital
physical condition and rides out daily.
