A Big Excitement at stony Creek-A
 Man. Two Dogs and . shotgun
 Cause Great Trouble.
 Richard How'd, farmer of Stony Greek, took up his shotgun yesterday and fired at dog that was attacking his dog. The two dogs were in front of the depot. A few feet back of the anima als stood about 150 Italians, Swedes and others. They were on the depot platform. They were em- ployes of the quarries at Stony Greek. It is their custom to gather at the depot dur ing the present labor trouble. Many of them are leaving town to find work in some other place.
 How'd pointed his gun at the unknown dog and fired. His aim was directly in line with the big crowd at the depot. The smoke had hardly cleared away when there was wild yell from the Italians and Swedes. Eight or nine of the party on the platform had received part of the con- tents of Howd's gun. Then began a search for the man who had fired the gun. The Italians were in frenzy.
 How'd had made tracks when he heard the uproar and perceived what he had uOuo. ho Sot away. 4uo 4tdllaus chuSHt sight of John Lew, who was at work hoe ing in garden. Someone told them that perhaps Lew had fired the shot. The in furiated Italians rushed upon Lew and snatching the hoe out of his hands were about to annihilate him when one of the number shouted that Lew was the wrong | man and to let him alone, as he was in | nocent. Lew was nearly dead with fright, 1 for the Italians were maddened. They lei go of Lew and renewed their search for the | gunner, but failed to find him.
 In all the excitement the injured men | had been forgotten or overlooked. An in. vestigation showed that about nine had been shot. None was seriously wounded l One of the Italians got shot in the bscl of the head and from the wound the blood flowed freely. The sight of this bleeding Italian made matters worse because som, of his countrymen thought he was fatally
 wounded. They were loud in their erie
 for satisfaction. Another Italian received
 shot in his thumb and the sharp pail
 made him dance around in agony for
 while. Another Italian got few of thu
 shot in his leg. A fourth received som
 of the charge under the left eye.
 An Englishman, John Jenkins, and th,
 freight agent. Frank Hall, were als
 wounded slightly, Hall in the shoulder.
 At the top of the excitement some on
 telephoned on telegraph to Deputy Sherii
 Carney of Branford that riot was il
 progress at the Stony Creek depot. Owe
 he went in post haste to Stony Greek. H
 found matters had quieted down and ths
 the injured and their friends had becom
 satisfied that no attack was made on the1 and that the injuries were the work of
 very poor marksman. He arrested How and last night he was to have a hearing bs | Vsn1r 1E
 How'd, in addition to emptying shot int the Italians and others, managed to hit th
 unknown dog in the leg. The leg ws ? broken.

srAcG VISITS YALE.

He Will Re Here for the Rest of the | ; week-The Nine Showed Up Poorly | in Practice-The Track Athletic 1 Teams in Much Better Condition Than Last Year-The Inter-Class Contest a Farce-Stagg Speaks En- Enthusiastically of Chicago.
 The great and only, only great Alonzo Stagg, Yale '8S, was in town yesterday and will be with Yale for the rest of the week in its two great athletic contests this week, in track athletics on Friday and in the Yale-Princeton game Saturday. He watched Mike" Murphy coaching the track athletes in the early part of the af- ternoon. ..ss
 The nine then came in for a share of his attention. Murphy, whose knee was made slightly worse in the game with Brown, watched them. The nine, however, made wretched showing and Stagg was not over-well pleased with their work. Un- less they play with more vim and accu- | racv Saturday the outlook for them is very poor.
 In the game with the Staten Island Ath- 1 letic club this afternoon Harvey will play | the points for Yale.
 | The outlook for the Mott Haven team is more favorable than it has been in several years. Last year at this time practically the only man that could be depended on was Harry Williams. A very great deal of the efficiency of the club is due to the eff forts of their coacher for the past four wseks-''Mike" Murphy. However, Har- yardis almost sure to get the largest num- Der of points in the contest Friday. The real explanation of Rsrvard's superiority in track athletics and Yale's weakness in that branch is that at Harvard more atten- ton is given to individual excellence in athletics, while at Yale the glory of the col
 lege is the objective point. An illustration
 of this is the rather ridiculous outcome oi
 the effort put forth this year for class con
 tests in baseball. The game yesterday be-
 tween the seniors and the freshmen
 was nothing more nor less than horse
 play. The players did not take the game
 seriously and the spectators-the few that
 were there-thought it all huge joke. } The score was something like to 4. MT Stagg said in reference to his worl ] at Chicago next year: stWe hope to have
 gymnasium next fall, but will work a
 some disadvantage in not having field
 The lake, which is within five minutes ] walk, will afford abundant opportunity !. for aquatics. We hope to have in thret ! years at the farthest one of the very bes equipped athletic departments in thi
 country" Mir. Stagg spoke very enth usi
 astically of the new university and hi | prospects in the west.

 FoREPAUGH's SHOWS.
 The Chicago Times of June 16, 1891, says of Forepaugh's shows: Nineveh was the city that ruled the world in the first cen- turies of it's existence; 1t was the capital of the birthplace of civilization, and was finally overthrown and utterly destroyed at about the time that ancient Rome was founded in fulflment of the predictions of the prophets of God. Scenes showing the city in the zenith of it's glory, and it's aw- full annihilation are reproduced with his toric accuracy in the spectacle so, that it becomes not only brilliant vision of mar vellous splendors, but it is also practical object lesson teaching great scriptural and historic truths. United with the almost countless attractions of the Adam Fore paugh shows they form an exhibition that everybody should see and enjoy.
 WORLDS DIME MUSEUM.
 An unusually strong bill is offered at this museum this week. "Jo-Jo," the Prussian dog-faced boy; 'tChurohi," the Australian with wonderful head of hair, are among the attractions.
