rather modestly, "that Princeton IS
badly handicapped this year from the
fact that only four of last years team
are playing. These are Poe. the cap
tain Riggs, Warren, and Black, and
even of these four the latter two may be
unable to play on account OF injuries.
The very fact, however that the team
this year is SO much lighter than IN
previous years has led Captain Poe to
depend more on team play to see him
through than on heavy rush line work,

prospects ?" ne was asked.

Congressman Miles Undecided.

Says the Stars man about town: A
short, stoutly built man, with gray hair
and closely cropped beard, walked I'M
easily about the Fifth avenue corridor
yesterday morning as if something had
gone wrong with him. He was Con-
gresham Fred Miles of the Nutmeg
state, who put in his first half century
of years making a fortune as an iron
manufacturer, and is devoting the other
half to politics. He has had two terms
in congress, but was defeated four years
ago, and holds his present seat by a
scant plurality OF twenty votes in a poll
Of over forty thousand. Naturally he
isn't enthusiastic over the prospects, for
republican success in his district next
fall. and he has been spending few
days at home to see whether it was
worth while for him to run again. He
told me that he hadn't made up his mind
yet, and friend who noticed his weary
air yesterday said that he was trying to
solve the problem.

BURNED ON THE STOCKS.
Two Four Masted Schooners, Valued
ut $4,000, Destroyed at Madison.

Two Four Masted Schooners, Valued
nt SIS, 200, Destroyed at Madison.
Just before 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon, fire broke out in the oakum lofts
of building at Tucker & Barrys ship
yard at Madison and quickly spread to
the two four-masted sChooners on the
stocks. There was no fire apparatus Of
any kind available. so nothing could be
done to check the fire, all efforts being
made to save movable property. One of
the schooners was nearly completed,
and would have been launched in a few
weeks. This was the first to catch fire,
and 1t burned like shavings.
The other schooner soon caught fire
and was totally destroyed in a short
time. 1t was in frame and was being
sealed. The vessels when finished would
cost about $50 900 each. Captain Handy
Of New London, for whom they were
being built, says the one nearest COM
pletiou was worth $35, 900 as she stood
when burned. and the other $4,000.
They were insured for about $40, 00O
The salt house, in which was stored
about forty tons of salt, was also de-
stroyed.
The total loss is fully 1000, and the
insurance is about $40, 900. Most of the
locs falls on the owners of the ship yard
Their loss will be fully $45 900, on which
there is but a small insurance. The fire
was undoubtedly caused by the careless
ness OF workman named johnson, who
rushed out of the oakum loft when the
fire broke out. The fire throws over 100
men out OF work, many Of whom are
French Canadians.

Concerning the Condition Of the
ConnecricuG National Guard.
The report of Adjutant- General Bar
bour to the governor, dated December 1,
1889, was issued yesterday. General
Barbour gives the strength of the force
as 2,573. gain of 90 in a year. Thirty
six officers retired during tho year, $40
men were enlisted, and 784 were dis
charged, SO of whom were dishonorably
discharged by sentence of court-martial.
The morals and discipline of the guard
are good, and it is recommended that no
additional companies be accepted, the
force being consic cred sufficient. The
amended law allowing eight days en-
campment is not Endorsed, and the gen.
eral states that the military interests of
the state will not be advanced by an en-
campment of longer that six days. Re-
garding the governors guards, special
legislation to require them to conform
more nearly to the system of the G. N.
G. is advised.
On the all important subject of the use
of state armories General Barbour
heartily indorses the recommendation of
his immediate predecessor, General F.
E. Camp in opposition to the renting of
armories.

the centennial celebration in New York,

rolled 66, 1929 were liable to the tax of 81
