An alarm of fire was rung in from box "A, corner High and Chapel streets, yes- terday morning at 8:30. The fires in the University club house on Chapel street opposite the campus had been started for the first time this season and as the chim- neys were cold the smoke set back into the rooms, making the janitor, who rang in the alarm, think the building was on. fire. Upon the arrival of the fire department the true cause was explained. :
 In answering the alarm engine No. met with an accident on York street between Oak and George streets. There was large hole in the pavement which the driver did not gee and one of the wheels of the steam CT went into it. with the result that the reach of the engine was broken. It was at once sent to shop for repairs and during the day the extra engine took the place in the engine house to provide against. emer- gencies.
 While the aerial truck was turning the corner of Church and Chapel streets one of the three horses slipped and fell. The other two animals dragged their mate about twenty feet, but besides g few scratches it was unhurt. +%

Died in Chilli.

A sad fatality has overtaken the mem bers of the Holcomb family in Chilli A letter recently received announces the death of MT. and Mrs. Harry A. Holcomb and w. Clifford Holcomb. The deceased gentlemen are brothers of ex- Mayor George F. Holcomb, H. s. Holcomb and Charles N. Holcomb. The letter was written by Miss Mamie R. Holcomb, a daughter of Harry A. Holcomb. It stated that her father had died on June 23 at Iquique, his wife having died two months prior. Two weeks after Harry's decease, his brother, w. Clifford Holcomb, died at Pisagua, in Peru. All had died of fever. The letter was dated at 1quique, but Miss Holcomb had just arrived from down the coast and could not give details. At the outbreak of the recent revolution in Chili, Miss Hol- comb was sent down the coast below Val paraiso, as it was thought best that she should be away from the scene of hostili- ties. At the close of the war she started for home and was twenty-six days on the trip. Upon arriving she learned of the death of her father, mother and uncle, and was told that her fathers fortune had been swept away.
 w. Clifford Holcomb, who was unmar- ried, had amassed fortune which he had recently lost.

AT YALE.

at the Art School-Ehrich |
 Collections - Wesleyan's New Cap-
 tain. The Yale Art school has opened it's an- nual winter exhibition to the public. Among the collections, the most notable, perhaps, is that of Dutch and Flemish paintings, ranging over two or three cen turies. This collection was made by MT. Louis R. Enrich, 8 Yale graduate, and brother of the Enrich brothers, the large furniture dealers of New York. He was attracted by the old sketch masters when pursuing post graduate studies at Berlin. The most important pictures in the collec- tion, as much on account of their excel Ience as the celebrated names they bear, are an interior with the figure of woman in a blue robe by Netscher, picture that shows much of the finest quality of Ter
 burg and Metsu, whom Netscher took as his models; fine cattle piece by Adrian
 van de Velde, Rubens, representing
 peasants dancing around under the trees picture of good size and characteristic
 example; masterpiece by Abraham van
 Beveren, who was called the "Raphael of
 Fishers;" fine three-quarter length DOT
 trait of young woman by Cornelis van Haarlem, and very remarkable work by
 Roger von des Weyden.
 It is rumored that this collection is soon to be removed and people would do we'll to avail themselves of this chance of visit ing it. Although there are enough pie lures stored away to rehang the walls, it is probable that the Dutch paintings will be replaced by some other collection. f1aro iof fhaT ,1r1J of paintings, illustrative of revolutionary times; the Jarves collection of Italian art, consisting of 122 pictures, dating from the eleventh to the seventeenth century; a valuable collection of Chinese porcelains | and bronzes, a series of very fine and rare Belgian wood carvings of the sixteenth century; about one hundred paintings of l contemporaneous art; and collection of l 150 casts and marbles, representative of | the various periods of Greek and Renais- sance art.
 Important late additions are original
 sketches by Michael Angelo, Rembrandt, Corregio and others of the great masters. Arrangements have been made fo1
 bleachers to seat 21 1000 people, or 6,OOC
 more than were seated last year for the
 Yale-Harvard game at Springfield. Wesleyan's famous full-back, w. H. Hall, has resigned his position as captain of the eleven. J. s. Pullman was elected
 in his place. Under the late manage
