AT Ztnesville. Ohio, one day last week,
number of miners who had been out of
work for some time. the coal companies
having suspended operations, broke into
a store and carried off thirty barrels OF
flour and several hundred pounds OF
meat. They made no attempt to conceal
their identity, and justified their act on
the ground that themselves and families
were starving. And all this in the face of
tie assurance that under the Mckinley
bill, this country is to afford more bles-
sings to the working man than any other
country on the face of the globe.

If Frank Hearn was a wronged and
unhappy man before the regiment
marched away his troubles seemed only
intensified now. Deprived of the COM
mand of his troop and confined to his
quarters in close arrest, he was con-
fronted by new sorrow, one least ex-
pected, yet hardest of all to bear.
The sharp assaults of The Palladium
to certain extent had been discon-
tinued. One great and influential jour
nal of the northwest had taken the

when tina, eminent patriot was thus
shown up in his true colors the other

editors, indeed, had not already been

evitably turn out to be. But the origi-

Fire Extinguishers-The Fire Depart
ment and the Old Police Court
Room.
After lively discussion at the board
last evening, which turned on the question
of the proper recognition of the rights and
authority of the town agent as regards
purchases made by committees of the
board, in which Selectmen Fleischner re-
torted sharply, the board voted to pur-
chase four fire extinguishers for the aims
house.
Chief Hendrick appeared before the
board to suggest that the old police court
room in the city hall, now used by the
janitor, be turned over to the fire depart
ment. He said that there was danger of
fire to the entire building from the present
arrangement of electric light and fire alarm
wires. Damage has also resulted from bad
water overfows in the battery. He thought
the old court rooms admirably adapted for
the fire department service, being on the
first floor and easily gotten at.
The matter was tabled until the next
meeting.
The mayor was also present and came to
wv
city's expense in the contract with Otis
Brothers for the new elevator. This, he
said, was the understanding when the con-
tract was made.
The town is indebted to the city an
amount more than the city's share of the
expense in the elevator, and it is desired
that the town pay the whole amount called
for by the contract, namely, 81, 674.25, half
of which will be credited to the account.
The matter was referred to the committee
on finance to investigate and report at the
next meeting.

About o'clock last evening two boys
about 10 years of age came into the police
headquarters to inform Sergeant Mcbride
that a couple of suspicious characters were
lettering about Whitney and Hinhouse av-
enues. They were told by the sergeant to
go up and find Officer Moore, who has
that beat, and tell him of the fact. This
they did and went with the officer in
search. On the way up Prospect street
they met Officer Hooper, the newly ap-
pointed colored officer, who joined the
party. They discovered the object of
their search near. the corner OF
Mansfield and Sachem streets. They
| proved to be two young men, each
about eighteen years of age. 1t Is need

proach of the officers, but ran in different
directions. Officer Hooper chased one and
lost him because Just at that time train
on the Northampton road came along
which managed to get between the officer
and fugitive Officer Moore in the mean
time was having live time with his man.
He had fired several shots from his pistol
in the air, but having the only
effect of making the pursued run
the faster. Officer Hooper joined the
chase and the man was finally run down
to Trumbun street yard where the last
named officer captured him crouched be

ship of the City - bowers, Great
work In the Box.
The third and deciding game for the
championship of the city between the New
Haven and Yale teams was played yester-
day afternoon on the Howard avenue
grounds in the presence of about ], 200
spectators. The game was an excellent
one, especially on the part of the collegi-
ans, and clearly demonstrated their ability
to play ball. The work of the entire team
was excellent, while Murphy, Kedzie and
Bowers all played the games of their lives,
Murphy, especially, at shortstop, putting
up game equal to that of the best pro-
fessionals in the country. Bowers did
himself proud, holding the hard-hitting
| players of the local team down to single
hit. Clarkson pitched for the local team
and was very effective, the college men SO.
curing but four scattered singles off his de-
| livery He was in excellent form and will
undoubtedly prove to be one of the lead:

winning ball for the New Ravens and
had they been able to hit the ball even &
little the score would have-been different
| Neither team scored for the first foul
innings, and in the first half of the fifth
the New Haven team was retired in one
two, three order. In Yale's half Cushing
who was the first man at the bat, was pre-
sented with a base on balls McClune
followed with a rafting single, which ad
vanced Cushing to second; Parker then hi
one to Mahoney, which the player fumbled
and all three men were safe. With three
men on bases Kedzie struck out, bu
Bowers followed with nice single to RICH
field, which Henry allowed to get pas
him and all three men scored, Bower
going to third before the ball was recov
cred. He was left there, however, Jackson
being struck out and Murphy thrown out

! The victory of Yale yesterday was justl
earned and will undoubtedly be the mean
of greatly increasing the confidence of tn
