There will be presented at the Hyperion
theate, Saturday afternoon and evening,
for the benefit of the Masonic charity
foundation fund, ga Temperance Town."
by Charles b. Hoyt, that inimitable author
of ten most successful sstirical comedies.
At the very close of its run in Boston, 1t
had bestowed upon it as much favor
by means of the constant applause and
almost constant laughter as though 1t was
playing its very first performance, and In
that time had won the universal favor of
all theater-goers. There Is an interesting
intent to this comedy, Notwithstanding the
fact that 1t Is the most mirth- provoking
satire that Mr.. Hoyt ever wrote.
Though Messrs. Hoyt & Thomas have q
large number of people engaged in pro
dueing their various plays they have prob
ably never had together so clever q COM
pany as that which Is now playing "a
Temperance Town" The original Boston
cast will be seen here, and IL headed by
George Richards and Eugene Garfield.
The production will be given exactly as
seen In Boston during its remarkable run
there.
Tickets can be obtained from the Off
GERS of lodges, Frank 81. Waldron, $50

day. Tickets will be on sale at the Hy-
perion box Office Saturday morning.

BIG EXPLOSION.
italian Fireworks Blow on the Roo

Italian Fireworks Blow OF the Roof
Of a Building ON franklin street.
Dynamite Cartridges Said to Have
Been stolen From the Cut on tho
shore Line Railroad-No One In
jured-A Narrow Escape for Many
People.
About 5:15 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the residents in the downtown portion of
the city were startled by tremendous ex-
plosion in the house Nos. 10 and IL Frank
lin street, which was shockingly wrecked.
II Is a double brick house and for some
time has been occupied by Italians. It
belongs to the Elnathan Atwater estate.
No. IL was rented to George Antonio and
No. 10 to Matteo Avitabile, . shoemaker on
Chapel street. Antonio, 1t appears, runs q
clearinghouse at No. 10 and Avltabile
subjects the greater psrt of his house to
other Italians. The house Is three stories
high with an attic above, and each floor is
crowded with Italians at night. Most of
them work on the new cut on the Shore
Line division in Fair Haven, and they had
not got home from work when the explo-
sion occurred. It Is said that dynamite
cartridges, used in the blasting there, have
been stolen and that for some time some
of the men have been making torpedoes
about the size of small apple, which they
have been disposing of among the Italians
in that part of the city. Many of the
people living around them say that they
have for the past week heard reports like
cannon crackers frequently along the
street.
Someone was making these torpedoes in
small room at the top of the house and
in some way some of the dynamite was ex-
ploded. There was no one in the
house at the time excspt three italian
women and one Irish woman and the man,
who has apparently skipped out. All
seem to have escaped without injury,
although the man was said to have been
severely burned about the face. The ROOT
over No. 10 was entirely taken off and g
small part of the room over No. 10, and
the whole upper part of the house Is to
not much damaged by the explo
ly ignited and the fire depart
the fire. The bricks flew through the win
dows of the New Haven Carriage compa
ny's chop, which ia directly opposite, sn6
many of the employees barely escaped be
ing struck. Many windows in the neigh
borhood were shattered.
The fire department took away abou
fifty of the dynamite cartridges which
were found in the building. The house Il
worth about 5000, and the loss on 1t II
about $1,000. 1t is fully insured, but It il
question whether the insurance co.npan.
| is liable for damage by explosion
Fire Marshal Hubbard will make an in
| vestiRation to-day.

Longacre Takes Paine.s Place MT No.
8-Reported That the Race Will BE
ROwed Up Stream-Yale.Harva
Game Postponed.
NEW LONDON, June 22.-The surprise of
the day on the river has been the removal
of Paine from the Yale boat and the re-
sulting changes. Nothing was whispered
of the new order of things until the crew
went out for Its practice spin this forenoon
and then Paine did not take his position in
the boat. Gsllaudst was in his old place
at stroke, Longaore had moved to No. 6,
Paine's place, and Alex Rogers took Long
acres place. Paine has been on the crew
for three years and the change was great
surprise. The only reason for 1t that can
be given is-that he is TOO heavy in the opin-
ion of the coaches. Bis physical condition
is good, but he weighs 1888, and IL the
heaviest man in the boat. Paine Is good
oarsman, and if he is permanently re-
moved 1t will be a great surprise. His
weight, however, with that of Captain
Ives. pulls down the stern of the boat, the
coaches think, and retards 1t considerably.
By many 1t Is thought that the change is
experimental only.
It was again reported to-day that the
Harvard and Yale committee of arrange
ments for the big race had decided that the
race will be rowed up stream, but 1t Is not
generally believed that the rumor Is well
founded. There has been an understand
ing between the board of trade and the
representatives of the crews that the race
will be down stream as usual, and there
seems to be no reason for changing this
plan. The tide will be right for the races
at O'Clock on Friday, June 80, and there
is no reason why the race should be held
at late hour. The representatives of the
Yale, Harvard and Columbia freshman
crews have decided to hold the triangular
race on Thursday afternoon, June %. al
5 O'Clock. This race will be rowed UP
stream. The three freshman crews are
working hard in preparation for the con.
test, and it is believed that the race will BIZ
close and exciting. The Yale freshmen ART
considered the strongest, but Harvard and
Columbia have been doing good, steady
work in the last few days, and they may
surprise Yale.
The Yale freshmen still beat the uni
| versity on short spurts with disheartsnint
ease.
Tuesday morning, in a race of q mil,
and half, the freshmen led at the finisl
by a length and half. Wednesda,
| morning the freshmen took half O length
| in just minute. Box Cook is working
| over the crew as he never worked before
| but all his coaching seems to be in vain
The crew is not rowing the stroke tina
Mr.. Cook wants to teach them, and If the,
do not stick to his principles, he cannot b
blamed for the result. It is certain that
i rowing as 1t ia to. day, the Yale crew has
decidedly gloomy outlook for Friday
June 80, If all reports are to be credited.
The Yale-Harvard base ball game t
have been played in Cambridge yesterda
afternoon, was postponed until Saturds

/ The uniform price adopted for the Ma
sonic benefit at the Hyperion tomorrow
afternoon and evening being somewhat
novel, the result has been watched BY
theatrical managers with considerable inter-
est. 1t is the first instance in the history
of this theater where the price of reserved
seats was the same in every portion of the
house, and where the cost of matinee and
evening seats were the same. Although
there was no particular object in the ex-
pertinent 1t was thought 1t would surely
demonstrate which were the choicest seats.
The line of buyers was formed early on the
morning of the 18th, and the first man to
hand in his tickets to be exchanged asked
for front row seats in the dress circle,
which is up one flight. The plan of the
theater WAS a perfect blank to him and the
whole house was open to his choice, but
he selected those seats up one flight as he
considered them the most desirable for an
entertainment. The second applicant with
six tickets selected the second row in the
orchestra, evidently wanting to be near the
big fiddle. Inc third eelecfed 'front.' row seats
in the parquette circle, and the fourth de-
sired the third row back In parquette circle
there being In his opinion advantages in
this locality that the. front row did not
possess.
Quite number selected orchestra chairs
of the extreme right or left, evidently an
ticipating sly glimpses In the wings during
the performance. An elderly gentleman,
who acknowledged he was always afraid
of FIRE, selected seats for himself and
family In the extreme back row of the par
quette circle.
ALI of these Incidents wore of interest to \
the management, As calculated to show the
wilderness of opinions a. to which are the
gilt-sdRed seats in the fashionable thsater.
Two boys handed In their tickets at the
boz Office and requested reserved seats In
the top gallery. Treasurer Peterson was
not quite prepared to supply them with
printed reserved seat coupons for this sec
zion, but the boys insisted upon their
right, 80 he speedily irnprovised two
checks, and tomorrow night the boys will |
carefully crisicise Mr.. Hoyt's latest pro-
duction from the bressy seclusion of Row
A, Right In the ssnigger heayen.n

RAILROAD MEN srRIKs


On a. Bridgeport Horse Railroad -
Declared on After Dark-The Men
to Get Extra Pay for Overtime.
BRIDGEPORT, June 22.-The conductors
and drivers of the Bridgeport Horse Rail-
way company went on strike this after
noon. As each car reached the barns at
o'clock the men refused to 60 out again,
and at o'clock, the busiest hour of the
day, the road was completely tied up.
Since Colonel N. b. Heft and the new
syndicate obtained control of the road
there has been dissatisfaction because the
men were compelled to work from fifteen
to sixteen hours day, Their petition for
shorter hours sent to Superintendent Lash-
or several days ago was given no attention.
Nearly 100 men are on strike and to night
not car is running. The excitement on
Main street was intense about 6 O'Clock,
when one driver declined to go in with his
car. he was finally persuaded to join the
strikers. The officials Of the road will not
make any statement. There ia no trouble
on the road from Bridgeport to Stratford,
owned by the same syndicate.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock tonight the strik-
ers consulted, and with the result that all
the men resumed work. The men struck,
refusing to work sixteen hours day. The
road now agrees to pay extra for all time
worked over twelve hours
