today reported that, as result of joint
meeting with the two boards of trustees of

lege. it was recommended that the unifca-
ton of the University of the Pacific and
Napa College ought to take place. The
name OF the consolidated institution shall
be the University of the Pacific, and its
principal place of business shall be San
francisco.
During the discussion that ensued Judge
Annis Merrill said it must not be forgotten
that the Stanford Univer sity would be sup
ported by the liquor interests of the State.
That Institution also elects its own trustees,
and how long would ii be before some de-
signing person got into that board? Perhaps
in fftv years this immense Institution may
be under the control of some person who
NAV turn it against the Pr otestant religion.
The secular interests Of the State would
center around the university at Berkeley.
He hoDed that by the consolidation OF the
University of the Pacific and Napa College
they would have an institution OF learning
TINT shall be a credit and a benent TO the
church and State.
Bishop Vincent, who was called upon to
make an address on the suDlect, declared
the act effecIng a consolidation would be
one OF the most magnificent and far-reach-
ing Of any act the conference had been per-
mitted to take part in. AT his suggestion
the report was approved by rising vote,
in which the laity and all present were

LONDON, Sept. l2-The latest adyces re-
ceived from Genoa regarding the murder of
Frank Reilly, the seaman of the United
States steamer Newark. who was killed in a
lodging house in Genoa. shows the natl onal
animus against Americans was the cause Of
the crime. The proprietor of the lodging
house, when the Newark's men applied for
lodgings, used the most abusive language 10
them simply because they were Americans.
One of those present, knowing the proprie-
tor, advised the men that il was unsafe for
them to remain in the place. All the sailors
started for the door, whereup0n the pro-
prietor. with knife in each hand, sprang
toward Reilly and stuck both weapons in his
back. Reilly staggered 20 the street, where
he fell and died IN a few minutes. The
murder was entirely unprovoked, and

that he was an American. Ia consequence

PIGOTT NOMINATED.
RECEIVES S4 OF THE SS
 VOTES.

Pig0tt Men Insist on an Open Bal
 lot, and Carry Their Point-The Opposi-
 ton Withdraw From the Convention.
 NEW HAVEN, Sept 21.-The demo- aratic congressional convention was called to order at Il o'clock by J. c. Roach of Wallingford, chairman of the district committee.
 A motion that an open ballot be taken for permanent chairman created con- siderable excitement among the anti Pigott men. Lawyer Donahue of Mid dletown denounced an open ballot as a piece of trickery intended to intimidate the delegates. Dr O'Farrell of Derby also vigorously protested against an open ballot. Attorney Kelly of New Haven and Richard Gleason of Meriden favored an open ballot, claiming that the delegates were merely the agents of their constituents, sent to the conven- tion to express their sentiments. The motion was put and carried. The election of permanent chairman was then proceeded with. Chauncey Anderson of Meriden was nominated by the Pigott men and James T. Smith of Birmingham, by the opposition. The ballot resulted as follows: Whole num- Der of votes cast, 146; necessary to elect, "A. MT Anderson received 82; Mir Smith, GA. The election was made unanimous. Hugh J. Wallace of Essex was made clerk by exclamation.
 The report of the committee on ere dentials was dispensed with despite the vigorous protest of Dr O'Farrell. Sheriff Tomlinson moved that a formal ballot for a candidate for con- gress be taken by a viva voce vote. This brought out another storm of pro- test from the anti-Pigott men, Attor- ney Williams and Judge Donahue | vigorously denouncing such a measure. \ Attorney Williams said that if the anti Pigott men were not accorded fair treat ment the Derby delegates would with | draw from the convention. Attorney Kelly and Richard. Gleason denied that there was any intention to be unfair. Seeing that the Pigott men were de- termined upon an open ballot, the oppo- sition, to the number of more than sixty, withdrew, and held a caucus in | the lobby. The convention then ad- journed until 3 o'clock.
 | At 2:15 the convention re-ass embled, but no business could be transacted, it being discovered that there was no quo rum present. The Wood and Mol SC del egates at that hour were in session at the Tontine hotel. A committee of Pigott men were appointed to wait on the others and try and reach an agree ment of some kind.
 At 4 o'clock the committee returned and reported that the bolters were en. gagged in writing out their reasons fol leaving the convention.
 The Pigott men declare that unless the
 Wood and Morse delegates return by 80, they will go ahead and nominate g candidate.

Desertion and Bigamy.

BRIDGEPORT, Sept 21.-Mrs William Bonough reported to the police last that she feared foul play. After an in- vestigation the police found out that the man had deserted her, and they also learned that he has been several times married, and has as often deserted his wives. His present wife is about 23 years old, and formerly lived in West field, Mass, where she married Bonough, who represented himself as a successful Bridgeport merchant, and it was not until the bride reached here that she learned that instead of a merchant he was cab driver.
