A number of fine football men have
entered in the new class, and Wesleyan's
team will bs one of the strongest ever put
in the field. Page of " wyoming seminary,
and Fordyce of Pennington offer brilliant
prospects of making half-backs equal to
Slayback of old Wesleyan renown, or even
McClung of Yale. Everything bids fair

DOES NOT GIVE 1T UP.

J. J. Phe1an Will Further Pursue
His Quo WarrantO Cause.-The SUI
preme Court in no Way He Says
Decides He Is Not Elected.
BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 29.-'By no means
have I abandoned the fight which under
took for a principle" said Hon. J. J..
Phelan to-day when asked if he should
relinquish the effort to establish his title
to the Office of secretary of state on &C.
count of the adverse supreme court decis-
ion. "The decision was to me a great
disappointment, but it has not dissuaded
me from my original purpose. I shall not
retire from the fight until every expedient
open to me has failed"
"You do not then regard your case as
hopelessi'
"By no means. The supreme court has
left number of questions undecided, and
they nowhere decide that I was not elect
ed. They give certain instructions to
Judge Hall as to certain rules he shall pur-
sue in reaching q judgment. The most
important of these is that the burden of
proof in the matter of establishing a right
to have any of the 500 double ballots count
ed in my favor, rests with me.
These ballots, says the court, should
have been counted. It is perhaps little
late to determine for whom these ballots
should be counted, but Judge Hall has
power to consider any facts presented to
throw light upon that point. Now If I
have even one fifth Of these ballots shall
have q majority. 1t is fair to presume
that should have at least ons-hslf, but
this number do not need.
''Your next claim before Judge Hall,
then, will be in relation to these double
ballotsf'
Eyes, in some form, but the exact
method of procedure cannot say. Pos
sibly We shall summon in the moderators
again, or some of them, but that il mat
ter for future consideration. While We
shall expedite matters a. much as possible,
there il little prospect Of securing judy
mont before election. But, as said BE-
fore, I shall not quit the field until all
proper measures st command are e.

FOUND ON THE BEACH.

The Dead Body OF an Unknown Man
Found at South End-Nothing to
Identify Hlm-Washed In by the
Waves-Apparently Well OF.
Yesterday morning John Empstcok found
the partly decompoaed body of man on
the beach at South End. He reported the
finding to Captain Thompson, keeper of
the lighthouse, who notified the seleetmen.
Coroner Mix was called and Investigated
the circumstances. DR.. White was notified
and made an investigation, as a result of
which DR.. White last evening stated that
in his opinion the body had been in the
water about two weeks and had probably
been washed up by the storm Monday, as
1t was high on the beach and partly COW
cred with sand when found.
The face of the drowned man was almost
entirely decomposed, and some of the
teeth were gone. From the looks they
might have been knocked out. A hole was
discovered in the side of the body, and
three ribs were broken near the front end.
This the doctor says may have been done
by a spar: The right leg was cut as
though with knife. 1t is quite probable,
however, that this was done by shells.
From the general appearance of the body
it would seem as though the man was try
ing to divest himself Of his clothing while
in the water. In the pockets were found
| handkerchief and some tobacco.
The handkerchief may form a means
| of Identification. On the handkerchief Ii
worked what is thought to be ~. p
Crane"
The body appeared to be that of mar
above five feet nine inches in height ani
about 100 pounds in weight or over. Th'
| age of the man could not be even judged
| as the features were completely obliter
ated and every part of the body in stat
of decomposition. The shirt, stocking
and underclothing were all Of fine ma
| terial.

PRECOCIoUs YOUNGSTERS.
Stole Four Horses, Burglarized Stor
and POstOfhce.

SOSS
and POstomce.
BR1DGEwATER, Sept. 29.-Bridgewater
has pair of boy horse thieves that are
very daring and enterprising for criminals
of their years, and they are fast making q
reputation. The young fellows are William
and Alonzo Strong, the former nineteen
and the latter fifteen years of age. Septem-
Der 16 the boys took horse belonging to
William Mallett and another the property
of Mrs. Waldren, and crossed the line into
New York state. Not being able to dispose
of the horses, they finally turned them
loose and the animals wandered back here
They then went to Unionville, N. J., and
took another pair of horses, owned by
Duane O'Dell, and Immediately started
back to this town.
They arrived here early Tuesday morn
ing, and hiding the horses came into the
town and broke into the general store of
Mallet & Hatch. They secured two silver
watches, $25 in money and large amount
of goods. The postoffice ia located in this
store, and they found more booty there.
The young robbers then took to the woods
with the horses and the stolen property.
In the morning citizens of the town
started in pursuit and yesterday captured
Alonzo, the younger brother. William
succeeded in getting away and the officers
are still searching for him. Alonzo was
given a hearing before Justice Levy in
New Milford last evening, and bound over
to the next term of the superior court in
the sum of $780, He was unable to secure
bonds and this morning was taken to the
Jail at Litchfield. The boys have always
borne hard reputation. William was but
recently released from the reform school.

ATHLETIC POINTS.

The report that Hinkey '95 had been sick
and was not coming back to college turns
out to be entirely false. He has not been
sick and comes back to college with as
much enthusiasm for football as ever.
The team lined up for the first time at
the field yesterday and made an excellent
showing.
Hitchcock of st. PauI's school has entered
'95 S. He is big fellow about the same
size as Sanford, and promises to make a
valuable man in football. He commenced
training for the Varsity yesterday. Brown
also from st. Paul's school at Concord, N.

HYPERION THEATER.

Hery E. Dixey and his opera company
present Audrian's cleverest work, the
"Mascot" on Monday, October 8. Mr..
Dixey has recently secured an enviable
reputation by his rendition of the charac-
ter of Lorenzo, and his debut in this role
in this city will undoubtedly attract a
large audience. The company will, it is
said, be one of the finest opera companies
sent out this season. The sale of seats is
now open.
The coming presentation of Lord Ten
nyson's poetic drama 1.-THE Foresters,"
under the direction of Mr.. Arthur Rehan
from Days theater, New York, on Tues
day and Wednesday next will give the
public an opportunity to hear Sir Arthur
Sullivan's last and most successful music.
The company comprises fifty people, and
scenic and electric effects are duplicate
of those used at the original production at
Daly's theater, New York. The sale of
seats opens tomorrow.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson will appear as

next.
NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
The first of the military dramas was
''Lynwood," and by many it is regarded as
the most vivid in it's delineations of war
and love phases. Miss Belle Barron, who
plays Lucille Carlyle, the leading role of
the play, is an emotional actress from the
legitimate drama. She has a fine physique,
| and is woman whose movements and
voice portray passion and pathos in strong
| scenes with telling effect. To enliven the
play and to srchly and ingeniously set au-
ditors in smiling humor, Miss M. Dale
Owen does some excellent work as Gay
Carlyle. The play will be repeated for the
last times today and tomorrow at the
New Haven opera house.
