Patient. at the Ho.pital.

All of the patients at the hospital are reported to be doing well, and several cases that were thought critical have so far improved that recovery is expected. Fieri and Pappiaeo, the two Italians most seriously hurt in the Branford collision, were much better last night and, barring accidents, will ultimately recover. Michael Bejunis, whose leg was broken on the Elm City last Wednesday, is already showing improvement. AS things now look there is small possibility of blood d-poisoning set ting in. The refreshing coolness of the last twenty-four hours has had wonder ful reyiving influence on the sick men, The doctors are much more hopeful of all the cases.

 pany,s Recent Valuable Acquisition
 to Their Business.

The company is the sole owner of these valuable patents, which admit of wide application. They now propose to enlarge their facilities and extend their already large and increasing business which, in the short space of four years, has developed
 beyond the most sanguine expectations. By reason of their improved methods of work they have become the leading lamI manufacturers in the country and hope by
 maintaining the high standard of their pro ! auctions to continue to extend their trade

NEW HAVEN INVESTORS.

The Cloud Burst at Redlands Does
 No Damage to Their Property In-
 terests in the Big Dam Nor Its Con-
 nections.
 Many New Haveners having property in terests at Redlands, Cal, were somewhat startled yesterday over dispatch received here in the afternoon which stated that a serious washout had occurred at Redlands, the town founded by Frank E. Brown of West Haven and colonized largely by peo- pie from New Haven and West Haven. The washout was caused by cloud burst over San Bernardino. ''Water flowed through the streets of Redlands for hours, flooding all business houses and washing away many small buildings along the creeks banks"
 The COURIER learns, however, that neither the Bear Valley dam nor none of the pipe lines of the Bear Valley Irrigation company suffered any damage They re- main uninjured. MT. J. G. Clark, the con- veyaneer, received dispatch last evening from Mir. F. E. Brown and another from MT. Swan, MT. Clark's partner in Southern California. Both dispatches were most re- assuring, and stated positively that no damage was done the properties above named. MT. Clark arrived home this week from a business and pleasure trip to Ne braska and Southern California, which had occupied his attention for the last three or four weeks

SYRACUSE WINS.

The Home Team, With Morrison In
 the Box, is Defeated Through a
 Lucky Punching of Hits.
 The Syracuse team won from New Ha- ven yesterday afternoon on the Howard avenue grounds by score of to D. Up to the sixth inning, when the players ob- tained such long lead, that it was we'll nigh impossible to overtake them the game was close and we'll contested. There was perhaps more senseless wrangling at the decisions of Umpire Connolly by the players of the Syracuse team than has been heard on the local grounds this season. The Syracuse men were determined to win the game at all hazards and finally sue ceeded through lucky punching of hits, coupled with battery errors in the sixth inning. After this inning the interest naturally came to an end.
 Morrison was put into the box for the home team and pitched good game, but his support at critical stages was extreme ly weak, and it was to this fact as much as to anything else, that the game was lost. The home team made but few errors, but those they did make were very costly.
 The same teams play again this after noon, when Clarkson and Hofford will be the battery for the home team.
