James G. Elaine Playing Football.

James c. Blaine iS probably one of tho most knowing college students in this country. He has bcCn thra>hCd in half n dozen diffcrcnt cities, has passed through
 a sensational divorce suit and has crowded as much cXpvrivnCr into his 2S or 30 years of life as most men who have passed con sidcrahly beyond his age. His appearance
 on the foot ball field aS player along W tn ten other students at the | university of Virginia sCrn.S somewhat odd, Say> the New York sun. His talent for obtaining publicity is as vigorous aS ever. and h" is alrrady n noted figure in this new field.
 His exploits during the early part Of the season wCrC such that the attention of referees and umpircs was turned toward him continually, and Inc was put out of two games for brutality and sluGginE.
 Young Blaine has dCN ulupUd in n rCmark- able way physically, and from the puny, cigarette smoking youth of tan years ago has become broad, fat and 0f powerful build. He r'cently got out of training by burning the midnight oil. and in the game which his collcge-thc 'nivCrsity of Nir- ginia-playcd with Pennsylvania he was taken out nt the last moment and another player substituted. Mir Blaine is taking n law course. but football iS tho ahSnrhinG interest of his life at the pr,Scnt moment.

 NAUGATUcK. Nov S.-There is not a par ticle of doubt but what the canvassers of the representative ticket made an error and credited to Flynn some forty votes be- longing to Frost. if the count given us by the town clerk is right. If We add Twitchells. Flynn's and Williams vote together. We have .637 votes. 71 more than were boiled. If We add McCarthy's. Hymns and Williams we get 1897. 3I more than were boiled If we add Me Carthys. Frost's ard Williams We only get Al. 125 votes less than were polled. If We put Twitchelrs vote with the other two we still get only l .4sl. which is s5 short Neither Mccarthy nor Twitchell ran ahead of their ticket, which shows that Frost could not have been cut to any extent by hIs party unless both Mccarthy and rwitchell names were crossed out by a good many voters. It could make no difference with the general result. but makes Frost have less and Flynn more votes than entitled to.

How It Feels to Be Knocked Out.

''lt doesn't hurt much to bo knocked out, " said n young boxer to n crowd of his admirers. II guess l came as near going out as anybody could ani not lose. It was when had the go with Murphy. l was getting the best of it until the third round, when made n slow duck, and he caught me on the jaw. After the first jolt 1t all seemed like going to sleep. Twas lying there listening to the sweetest music you ever heard, with bells ringing and lights dancing before me, not hurt bit, when heard some one say, Won't that dub ever get up:' Then remembered where was and pulled up on my knees just in time to save myself from being counted out. l clinched the round out and came back all right at the next call and won in the sixth. But I'll never forget that sweet music"

WRECK OF THE WIRES.
Ii wuI Take Tw" Weeks to Repair
 Telegraph and T-i"pho"e Wires.

II wul Take Tw" Weeks to Repair
 Telegraph and T"i"phone Wires.
 The wreck of the telegraph and tele- uhone service by the storm of Monday night iS greater than at first believed. The Western Union opened communica- ton with New York and the west by way f Springfield yesterday. and had one wire tO New Haven. The service is limited. however The wreckage of the telegraph wires on the eastern lines is so great that lnrg stretches will have to be practically rebuilt and it will be several days before the lines on the New York X New England road will be ready for service. Poles and wires are down all along the line, Lines west in the state ar" also badly out of shape Waterbury escaped with less dam age than any other city of the state.
 competent authority this morning vlnc q the loss to the wire companies at fully Sl00 OOO and added that when peo- ple accustome q to the quick transmission If mes>aGes ccnsured them for not keep
 ing their lines up they should have taken into consider ltlon that 1t was for the com pauie>' interest to keep them up if pos <ihl-. Not only k the loss in replacing them great but the loss of revenue which tccnmulates from commercial business .s gr,ntcr. In the state more than S .000 poles have been reported down: most of hem torn ont of the ground without breaking, and 2O. .OnO miles of wire has been ruined. Where poles have stood wires have gone down SO o .ded with ice that a mn coull not lift section to replace it Hn the poles There Is yet no eastern con nectious in the state. Hartford has two wIrrs and Middlrtown single test wire working No messages are yet crossing the state in any direction. The storm of to-day has done no damage. and will not unless It makes ice on wires. It is ice. not r,in and wind, that wrecks telegraph and telephone property.

NEW LAWS.

some Things the Next Gene rsI Assembly,
 wHl wrsstIs With.
 The next general assembly will probably be asked to repeal the present law govern ing the support of wives and children and substitute more desirable one The present law sends n man 10 jail for failure to support his family. and while he Is there the wife and children have either to starvs or become objects of charity. The husband and father in the meantime re- ceives good treatment and food at jail
 Another matter which may receive the attention of the law makers Is the estab- lishment of a workhouss for drunkards and common nuisances, where what they earn may go toward the support of dependent families. It is now a puZzling question to judges of the police courts throughout the tate just how to punish this class of offenders. To impose fines. which means deprivation of their families, or to send them to the county jail. where they may pass their time in too luxurious ldleness, seem to be the only alternatives at present.
