Advancing Tendency at the Opening Rock Island Prominent - Sharp
 Moves Among Inactive Shares.
 NEW YoRk, December F..
 The stock market today opened with a tame vancing tendency from the first sales. Chicago had considerable influence on the rest of the list, though no weakness was seen in anything else. The selling did not assume very large propor- tions, and before noon full recov cry occurred in Chicago Gas accompanied by material up ward movements in some leading railr oad shares Rock Island was prominent in the advance in the early dealings, but the coal stocks became the feature later, when rumors of a coming 2 per cent dividend in Reading secords strengthened all Reading securities The other coal stocks were not far behind, and Lackawanna and Della ware and Hudson rose mate rially. Louisville and Erie were especially strong, and the latter unusually active. There were also few sharp moves among the inactive shares. Great North ern preferred, Milwaukee, Lake Shore and West ern preferred and some others being prominent. The market closed active and strong at the top figures Outside centers contributed their quota toward making the market strong. Boston pur- chased Burlington and other of its favorites.
 In railroad bonds the Reading issues made a material improvement, wh ile some others scored marked declines. The list as whole was firm however, and is left higher.

The German Emperor a Sports.
 man.
 From ''The Young Emperor" by Harold Fred
 eric1
 Williams love of exercise for its own sake is truly English. He fences admira- bly,, is skillful boatman, swims and bowls well, and with zest, and delights in mountain climbing. No other Prussian prince has ever been so fond of shooting. Hohenzollern notions of this particular sport have for generations been matter of derision among Englishmen. Even Car lyle, who will hardly be described as 8 sportsman, was alive to the grotesque fea- lures of the Parforce Jsgd, that curious institution in the Potsdsm Green forest which owes it's oeigin to Frederic William I. The Saugarten is still there: and young boars, bred in captivity and bereft of their tusks at an early age, are still released from their pens when the first frosts of autumn fall, and after @ start of few minutes arg chased by mounted and gaily caparisoned parties of huntsmen-for all the world like the tame lion hunts of the Sardanapslian decadence pictured for us by the Assyrian palace friezes. But Will liam has never shown much admiration for this pet diversion of the Potsdam officers. His own tastes are for the most laborious and difficult forms of woodland sport, and he is an exceptionally good shot.
 What renders all this the more remarka- ble is the fact that his left arm is practi- cally paralyzed. He has trained himself to hold the rein with it when he rides, but that is the sum of it's usefulness. This de- feet dates from the occasion of his birth, !, and is ascribed to the ignorance or inapti- tude of a physician. The arm is four inches shorter than its fellow, and has a malformed hand with only rudimentsry fingers The arm is so wholly limp that William has to lift its hand to even place It on the hilt of his sword with his right hand. 1t is in this posture, or else in the breast of his coat, that he customarily car ries it when out of the saddle. All his photographs show it thus disposed of. At the table he has combined knife and fork, which slide into each other. He uses this with much dexterity, first to cut up his meat and then to eat it, all of course with one hand.
 To have become @ skillek marksman un- der such weighty disadvantage indicates great courage and determination. Will liam uses a very light English gun, having abandoned in despair the attempt to get any made to his liking in Germany, and carries it on hls shoulder with the stock 1 behind him. At the proper moment he brings the weapon forward by movement of his right arm, with incredible swiftness and deadly accuracy of aim.

SMALL FIRE.

The Baking Room of St. Francis
 Orphan Asylum Takes Fire-Quick-
 ness of No. S's Fire Company.
 About ? o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire was rung from box 561, the private box of St. Francis orphan asylum. No. e's fire company responded in a re- markedly short time, the pair of gray horses attached to the engine going up Edward street hill without apparently abating their speed one sjot, Driver Jack son handling the reins with his customary skill.
 Engines No. 9, No. 4 and No. 6 hose wagon, No. 7,and the aerial truck respond ed also to the alarm
 No. Ss engine quickly got stream on the fire and soon had it under control The baking room had caught fire from an over heated oven. The sisters in charge of the asylum kept the children in perfect order all through the excitement. They also provided the firemen with hot coffee, which was very acceptable. The police wagons were on hand but the police were not needed as the crowd which collected were very orderly. The loss is about $300

POLO NOTES.
Bridgeport To-Morrow Night.

Bridgeport To-Morrow Night.
 Williams, Conway and Smith tried to down Newcombe when they were in this city last. The local team will be prepared to receive them and they probably will look out how they handle their hockeys and not use them on Newcombe's head. Should Conway try any of his tricks, he will find that he is in the wrong place, and "Dumpy" Williams will be ''dumped."
 Newcombe will probably let Williams know that he has recovered from the at tack, and if Conway and Williams try any "uppishness" they will very properly be 'tdowned."
 The New Haven press polo team would like to hear from the Bridgeport people. If there is such thing as polo team of scribes in Bridgeport the manager or cap tain can arrange game by corresponding with "Polo," this office.
 "Bus" Hill has gone to New York to play polo there. This is not Hill of the New Haven team, but an ex-janitor of the rink. He would probably have made hit as polo player among New York peo- pie had he taken his blazer along.

 PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 "Will She Divorce Himg' the new play which the charming actres, Cora Tanner, will present this and tomorrow evenings and tomorrow afternoon, proves to be 8 genuine success. The play was written for Miss Tanner by the popular author, Clinton Stuart, and had it's trial week at Colonel Sinn's Park theater, in Brooklyn, last June. Its emphatic success there caused a decision on Miss Tanners part to adopt the play as her mainstay for this seasons tour of the country; for she had hoo ShAy Aoo1A pay CAoC 4AtCIo5tCo Ihc public and won the approval of the critics, but she had found in it's heroine most congenial role for herself, and the public in general seldom realize how much there is in that sentimental phase of the case.

Dec 17.-The number of cases of inf1u- enza in this place is alarming. Every doc tor has more than he can attend to, both night and day. It is estimated that there are several hundred people down sick with this disease at the present time. In many of the stores there are hardly enough clerks left to carry on the business, and the factories about town are afflicted in the same manner.

 Superior Court = Civil Side - Judge
 Thayer.
 Judge Thayer granted two divorces in the superior court yesterday.
 Lotta s. Mallory of Wallingford was granted divorce from William H. Mallory of this city on the ground of deseItion, though there were other more serious ale gations in the complaint. The plaintiff, whose maiden name was Smith, was given the custody of two minor children.
 Fannie J. Bradley was divorced from Luroff Bradley of this city on the ground of habitual intemperance. The custody of minor child was given to the plaintiff, who requested that her name be changed to Judson. Judge Thayer remarked that if the change was made the name would not correspond with the name of the child. Notwithstanding this, as the petitioner de- sired her name changed, his honor granted the request.
 James Rattersby of Ansonia petitioned for divorce from Ellen Battersby on the ground of assertion when his wife filed 8 cross bill on the same ground, which brought out the fact that the two had quarrelled regarding their residence, as the husband claimed one residence and the wife another. Judgment was rendered for Mrs. Battersby on the original com plaint.
 The following decisions were announced:
 In Heninger's appeal the appellants claim was allowed.
 The claim of w. & J. Sloan of $2,218.01 was allowed.

DEATH OF HENRY AUSTIN.

For Many Years the Hest Known Architect in the City and Vicinity. Henry Austin, who has resided in the city for about sixty years, died yesterday at his home, 423 George street, aged eighty-seven years. He was comfortably we'll and went about as usual on Saturday last, but was taken sick on Sunday. The disease which terminated his long and useful life was acute catarrhal bronchitis.
 He was born in Hamden on December 4, 1804, and learned the trade of carpenter when quite young. After serving his time at the trade he carried on the business of carpenter builder for about six years in New Haven, during which time he erected many houses and other buildings. He also learned the trade of carver.
 Later he became an architect, having de- veloped unmistakable talent in that direc- ton, as he has been successfully engaged in that profession for the past ifty-fve years, and in later years he has been called stthe veteran architect" by which title he was extensively known in the United States.
 The first building of which he was the architect was the Gabriel house, which was on the corner of George and Dwight streets, and has in recent years been re- moved. He was the architect of the old depot building of the New York and New Haven railroad, which is now the city market. He was also the architect of the depot tower. He also made the plans for the Caleb Maltby residence, near the An derson house at Savin Rock. He was the architect for the fine building of the Old Savings bank on Orange street, the city hall, the Cutler building, the General George H. Ford block, HoadleY, building, the Yale National bank and many other substantial buildings in the city and else where.
 He was for many years chairman of the New Haven building commission, being first appointed under ex-Mayor Shelton.
 MT. Austin leaves wife, who is now S4 years old, and four sons, Henry F. Austin, 8 superintendent in the New York and New Haven railroad repair shop, William F. Austin of Newark, N. J., David J. Aus tin and Fred D. Austin, who has been in business with his father for the past eigh- teen years.
 Among the architects who learned the business with the deceased are David R. Brown, R. G. Russell and L. w. Robin son.
 MT. Austin was said to be the oldest ar chftect doing business in the country, and was noted for many kind and benevolent acts. His excellent habits undoubtedly added many years to his life. He was 8 very genial man, firm and true friend, thoroughly good citizen and kind hus- band and father His death will be mourned by many friends.
