ter was referred to the executive commit
tee: The location of hydrants, location of

vicinity of the Savin Rock horse railroad

Great Ravages Among Small Game
Have Been Made by Them on East
Rock.
The park commissioners advertise to-
day in the newspapers of this city an order
prohibiting dogs in the East Rock park.
Dogs have done great damage in the park
this season. They have killed off the
squirrels that dwell in the woodland, wild
rabbits have been driven away or killed
and broods of partridges born on the park
this spring have been destroyed. Hunters
of small game send dogs up the Rock to
drive squirrels and other game outside the
confines of the park, and once outside the
little creatures are shot. Thus the law is
evaded and great numbers of squirrels
have thus been shot off in the lowland
surrounding East Rock. The order of the
commissioners meets with public approval.
One of the prettiest sights on the park
this season to lovers of nature, who were
privileged to see it, was brood of baby
cartridges and the tricks the mother re-
sorted to to screen her young from dan
ger and to divert attention from them
until they could scamper or scud away
to coverts and hiding places The mother,
on the approach of a visitor and the dis
covery of herself and brood, would pre-
tend to be famed or broken winged and
would founder about as if terribly help
less and ready prey for the intruder.
She would then founder almost to the
feet of the intruder, but when sufficient
time had elapsed for her young ones to
do fhor
if my magic-the old bird would sud
denly drop her role of deceptitude, re-
cover her powers and get away at a lively
rate out of reach. The instructive cum
ming thus displayed by mother and chicks
was worth walking a mile or two to wit
ness and it was with unfeigned sorrow
and disgust that one of the visitors
learned later in the season that the de-
voted mother had been slain by dogs while
trying to save her young.
During the past season scores of people,
when at East Rock park, have noticed a
partridge, which was strikingly tame.
Many times it was seen perched upon the
top bar of the railing along Farnam drive,
and it neither stirred for passing carriages
nor passing pedestrians, unless frightened
by some alarming or threatening overt act.
It frequently fed itself from pieces of cake
or other food scraps thrown on the ground
near it.
The wild rabbits were at one time get
ting quite friendly, but the ravages by
dogs made them exceedingly shy, and they
all disappeared. The small birds at the
park have been chased and nageed by
dogs until they became much lessened il,
number at the park. This increased scar
city of small birds is partially accounted
for from the fact that there are
several hawks which made their headouar-
ters for business on the park, and kill
many of the birds.

ters should be properly looked for in the
report Of the supefin tendent. y The board
desires on the lone hand to exercise as
strict economy as is possiblesin the admin
istration Of the affairs Of the district, and
on the other hand to keep abreast in all
those improved and advanced methods in
public education which the district may
require at its hands. A new and commo
dipus brick school house has been built on
North Quinnipiac street during the
past year. Sixteen Thousand dollars
was appointed at the last annual meeting
Of the district, and an issue of bonds to
that amount authorized. It is found that
to- properly complete and furnish the
building an additional appropriation of
So, 900 was required, with authority to is
sue that amount Of bonds. The board, af-
ter careful consideration of the matter,
have decided that an addition of four
to meet the increasing wants Of that local
ity, and an appropriation of s16,7O0 is
asked, for -. that purpose. There
is also need, of further accommodation
in the Webster district, and to
this end it 10 recommended that appro-
priation Of 81 800 be made for the purpose
of constructing four additional rooms for
the Oak street school. At the meeting OF
the district held in September, 1890, $780,.
| OOU was approprlated TOT the purpose VI
erecting grammar school somewhere in
the southern part Of the city. I'll found
however, that the great pressure and
crowding in our school buildings is
in the primary rooms, and the
question is raised whether ii
would not be wiser to use
this sum in erection from time to time
as required in the different localities OF
the district of smaller buildings for the pr,
mary department rather than the erection
of another large central grammar school
which would not lessen the pressure com
planned of. For the details of the condi
ton and cost of our schools during the
2 past year the district is referred to the &C
Comparing reports of the superintendent
and finance committee. The terms of ser
vice as member Of the board of Horace 81
Strong, Thomas O'Brien and Walter
Leigh now expire by limitation and the
vacancies are to be filed at the ensuing

To the New Haven City School District:
More than generation has passed away
since the board of education made it's first
report in September, 1861, of the condi-
tions and needs of the schools under it's
care. At that time the population of the
district was not far from %, 900, the aver
age number of pupils registered 2,415. The
salaries paid to teachers was 81, 1856, and
to other employees 81, 906. The estimated
value of all school property was $50, 200.
The present population of the diftrict. is
about 90, 900. The average number of pu-
pills is 10, 1873. The salaries paid to teach
ers are $199 ,065 and to other employers
$28, 1893, and the value of school property
is 1915, 600.
This contrast strikingly shows the
changes that have taken place in our edu-
cational as well as our material conditions
in the last thirty years. The MANY and
varied developments of our modern civil
zation are constantly raising new questions
as to educational methods and BRINGING
new problems before the board for soIn.

STABBED WITH SCISSORS.

A Pair of Shears Thrust Into the
Jugular Vein and Almost Instant
Death Ensues-A Woman Impli-
Gated in the Crime.
WILL1MANTIc, Sept. S.-LSpecial. IA
sensational murder occurred in this city
to-day when James Corcoran,a well known
young man, was stabbed in the neck by, it
is supposed, an enraged woman with
pair of scissors, and his jugular vein sew
cred Death was almost instantaneous.
While passing the house of Mrs. John
Daley, the wife of prominent politician,
Corcoran was invited in to have chat.
Mrs. Daley, concerning whom some Cos
sip has heretofore been extensively circu-
lated, treated him to wine. A brother of
the murdered man, John Corcoran by
afterward followed him. He found his
brother James with Mrs. Daley and both
under the influence of liquor. He tried
all his persuasive power to induce James
to leave the house, but was thrashed by
the latter for interfering. Mrs. Daley
also assisted in the thrashing. John was

soon as he could get away he fled precipi-
lately.
About o'clock Mrs. Corcoran, the
mother of the two young men, visited Mrs.
Dailey's house, and as she entered was
startled by hearing groans issuing from
the parlor. Within fearful sight met
her gaze. On couch was her son James
expiring in pool of his own blood, while
Mrs. Daley was roaming about the room
apparently mad. "A pair, Of bloody scis-
sors was on the heor.. The mother reeled
out fainting, bat recovered sufficiently to
summon the police. She had hardly re-
turned to the house when her son expired
in her arms. When asked just before he
died who stabbed him he said he did not
know.
It seems thas John Corcoran had re-
turned to the house about 2 o'clock and
he also was found on the floor of the house
apparently dead. When he had recovered
consciousness he was asked concerning the
affair but could give no coherent account
of the stabbing. Some think he may have
killed his brother in fit of anger, but
both he and the woman are under arrest
charged with the crime.
