 Ths Coming Contest in the Courts ] The Balky Senate-Its Efforts Futile | Governor Bulkeley and His Power | to Adjourn the Senate. |
 Leading republicans of the state who | were in town yesterday expressed the view that the senate's balky state was a matter which republicans could serenely contemplate. Said republican promi- nent in the councils of the party last night: The democrats of the senate have nobody to blame but themselves. They have brought on this present anomalous situation. They are high kickers and they have now some ground tumbling to exc cute. They refused all efforts of compro- mise, sat down upon all the republican olive branches rendered them, danced 8 hornpipe over ali overtures for peace, and now they can sit in Hartford in all their melancholy and lonely splendor until Gov ernor Bulkeley sends them all home to their constituents. They have refused with contumely all overtures to submit the case to the courts only to find that their leader and chieftain, Judge Morris, is after all to resort to the courts.
 Concerning the meeting at Hartford this week when the governor was in consulta- tion with Chairman Benton, James P. Platt, Representative Porter and others, when the uppermost question was whether the governor should adjourn the senate, the Hartford Courant remarks:
 The house has gone over to November Il, and the senate yesterday, on two separate occasions, voted by strictly party vote not to adjourn to that day. The constitution says:
 Section 7.-The governor, in case of disagree ens na, between the tw9 houses ef the general as may adjourn them to such a time as he shall stated session.
 The disagreement is manifest, and the question is probably whether this step (or- ously such an order is just what the Sen ate is spelling for. It adjourned last Wednesday to yesterday, and yesterday it adjourned for a straight week. This shows an intentional neglect of business, and is simply in the nature of dare to the governor.
 If he does adjourn them. they will de cline to be adjourned. They will howl about the usurper and make more noise keep them out of the capitol, then there It is entirely possible for such a contingency to lead to blows if nothing worse and what a ridiculous pie ture it would be for senators to stand there and deny the validity of Governor Bulke- ley's official acts while they themselves hold official commissions from him, which they have personally solicited from him as governor in order to make few dollars in one of their professions!
 If there ever was more laughable per formance at the state house than the pres ent session of the senate, it failed of record. The two objections to proclaim ing an adjournment are that it might pro- long the farce, which has already proved too much like Chinese play that runs for months and that it might give the enter tainment tragic turn, while now it is | nothing but sublime poppy cock.

FIRE LAST NIGHT. .
Frederick A. Retts' House on Greene
 Street Badly Damaged.

Frederick A. Betts' House on Greene
 Street Badly Damaged.
 A few minutes past eight last evening an alarm was rung in from box 45, corner Greene street and Wooster place. The fire proved to be in the house No. 100 Greene street, occupied down stairs by Samuel Betts and up stairs by his son, Fred A. Betts of the firm of Betts and filling. The fire was first discovered breaking through the roof and seems to have started from a defective fue, catching around the chim- ney and running up through to the roof. The house was badly wrecked in the rear and middle, but the front escaped injury. More injury came through water and the breaking necessary to get at the fire than by the fire itself. Much of the furniture was injured, but by strenuous exertions the greater part was saved. Ex-Represent- ative McGrail, who resides next door, Ste phen Moore and Carl Blenner, employed at Dickerman's the florist, and two of Peck & Bishops men rendered efficient service in saving furniture. At the time of the alarm MT. F. A. Betts was away at ban ouet in Warner hall. The house, which is the property of Samuel Betts, the father is insured with Gardner Morse and the fur niture of both father and son with A. E. Dudley

UNRULY BOYS.


Two Arrested for StOning a Passen-
 ger Train Last Evening.
 Frank Brown, aged fifteen, residing at 339 Columbus avenue, and Bernard Cree gan, aged ten, living at "A Frank street, were arrested by Officer Flynn of the How ard avenue precinct for throwing stones at the 7:35 p. m.

The statute laws pro- vide a fine of not less than $50 nor moro than $500, with or without imprisonment, for offenses of this character.

PROF. HAMPERS LECTURES.

Early Traditions of the Hebrews
 Considered Last Night.
 Professor Harper delivered the last one of his lectures on the early traditions of the Hebrews last night in the First M. E. church, this one being on the post-diluvial period. He seems to have had very hard work to make his listeners understand his real meaning in these lectures, and began as follows: ''I'm sure there's no one in this course who does not see the difficulties of this work. There are no difficulties in the whole bible like those in the first twelve chapters. Why then should we deal with matter so dificults No one ever undertook this, expecting them all to be removed. Our purpose was to come to an intelligent appreciation of the questions involved. If don't seem as constructive as you would like, it is because it is im- possible, as all must see. Next week, the constructive basis, looking at the chapters as whole. venture to hope that all who have come at all will come next week.
 Professor Harper then went on to take up the dispersion of nations, Gen. X, l. xii, 26. He pointed out the contrasts in the language, style and theology of some chapters, and ikenesses in others, show ing the double authorship. Then the children and descendants of Noah. In the lists of their descendants we have not men, but nations and cities. We have and in II Chronicles The priestly docu- 800 to 900 B. C.-and here again the lec- turer repeated that he had been misun- derstood to say the material was of this date, whereas the latter was very ancient and at least Mosaic The table in cluded no references to the Mongolians, American Indians, Malayan and Ethiopias1s, but the author insistsf and on,its with purpose. The teaching of this table is that all the earth are derived from Noah, which strikes one of the greatest ques- tions of the day, that of common ancestry. nological. This is the most exact genea- logical table we know of. How it was pos sible for the writer to give record of facts, established by science, go clear, so accurate, SO satisfactory, without divine help, is 8 mystery. ',a. =e5 .l
 Then the tower of Babel and the diff culty of it was discussed. Greek and Latin myths of the Titans, who "piled Pelion upon Ossa,"- Mexican and other 1 stofles a1e very nAe tue DiolIcal account. It was way of explaining the different | languages of the world as brought about by | sin. 1
 Professor Harper ended by repeating that this chapter and whole book was not | literal history, nor a fiction, nor 8 myth, but idealized history; and protested very forcibly that any faith which would not | look into these subjects, which was afraid to investigate the truth in other words, for fear of being shaken, was not faith that was worth having.
