FOUND 4 SKELETON.
Workmen Unearth the Bones of Human
 Being. .,qgsgs

}lsI
 Being. .egsa9
 Workmen in the rear of the new chemical laboratory of the Sheffield Scientific school, on Prospect street, Monday discovered a human skeleton while digging to connect some drain pipes. There was black suit of clothes surrounding the bones, but the cloth was rotten and lost all its strength. The skeleton was lying face downward and looked as though it had hurriedly been thrown into the hole. It was at first thought that it was the skeleton of some murdered man, who had been thrown there under the cover of night. A hole was also discovered on the side of the skull, and it was thought to be a bullet hole, but 1t was afterwards found upon closer examination to more closely resemble hole made with a brace and bit. The hole was clean cut, and not such as would be made by 8 bullet.
 It now it thought that the skeleton is that of 8 body which was obtained by Yale medical students. The medical school used to be where the Sheffield Scientific school now is, and all the land north as far as the railroad bridge was vacant lot. When the other buildings now there were built many bones were found. Medical students at that time had much difficulty in ob- taining bodies to operate upon.. The bones were buried not far distant from the place where they were found by the order of a man who is said to be con- nected with the university.

The Counterfeiters.

Danbury, Aug. s.-The excitement in the oity which was caused by the raid upon the counterfeit den of the Hoyt gang in Bethel has subsided and the usual quiet in Bethel has been restored. The Hoyt "boys," as they are called, have returned to Bethel and are living in the same house from which they were taken by the detectives. There seems to be absolutely no foundation for the story that there was woman in the gang of counterfeiters and that the de- tectives would soon arrest her. The Hoyt boys have retained counsel to de- fend them when their cases come up for trial in New York on Friday. The detectives who have been working on the case have gone to New York. and 1t is now believed that every member of the counterfeit gang in Bethel has been routed.

TO OCCUPY STATE ARM0RY.
FOOT GUARD NOT TO HATE 4 COM
 BINdTION CLUB HOUSE.

State Commission Present Plans for an
 Ordinary Brick Building. With No Club
 Side Issue, to be Erected by tho State. and
 the Company Accepts the Proposals.
 A meeting of the Governors Foot Guard was held In the arnory last night. and the matters of the proposed new armory came up. Adjutant Gen. eral Edward E. Bradley and Quarter master John B. Harbison, Of the armory commission. were present and stated that the state would build an armory on the land on Whiting street. which has been bought by the state. The com pany wanted to build an elegant club house and armory. but 1t would revert to the state If built on the state land. So the matter of building an armory and club house combined will be given up. It was stated after the meeting that the company would accept the state armoYy. Of course this will be nothing like the elegant building the company proposed to build, but will be only building similar to the present armory on Meadow street, but very much smaller. It was stated that q building that the state would build would simply be large enough to have a squad room and equipment room, and that the company would drill in the large armory.
 The plans for the new building will no doubt be drawn in a short time.

the bounty on this years sugar crop is not to be given there is much con- cern among democrats to know what course sMessrs. caffery and Blanchard
 will assume te v5rds the bill. MT. Caffery declines a tlk, but rests on the speech he made fS Nntly In the senate when he declared q It 1t would be his duty to consider kp interests of his state before he dit hat of the party at large. Both the, ouisiana senators are receiving large vrlmbers of tele- grams urging them tS ote against the bill unless the bounty- given, and the two leading democrati" rgans in New Orleans announced th morning that the senators would be .x tlhed in vot- ing against the bill. Mtssrs. Kyle and Allen are also both quoted as saying that they could not endorse the bill un- less 1t provided for a bounty on sugar. The votes of these four senators are essential to the success of the bill. MT. Jones declares the bill will pass.
 All the senate conferees hold that motion to indefinitely postpone or to lay the conference report on the table will be in order. Under the senate rules, however. a majority can make any ruling 1t pleases, and if there should be majority in favor of post poning the conference report 1t would be an easy matter to sustain an appeal from the decision of the chair It is this vote that is feared. If the bill should go into the senate tomorrow night or Friday 1t Is likely that whatever ac- tion the senate takes will be speedy.

DEFEATED BY HART. )RD.

Henry's Sloopville Aggregation Win Easily
 From the New Haven Colts.
 For seven innings Harry Durant's team of colts put up a first class ar ticle of ball and John Henry's Sloop- vile ball tossers were unable to secure commanding lssd. in the eighth In ming, however. .et focal team went to pieces and allo Sed the visitors to score eight runs and win the game hands down.
 The Hartford team is a strong aggre- gation of baseball talent. but they the game with such ridiculous ease as they did yesterday. To be sure the victory was due to large extent to the decisions of Umpire Donnelly, who ''roasted" the home players at every possible opportunity. His work in the past has been cratic and open to cen- sure, but his exhibition yesterday was positively the worst ever seen on base ball field in this city.
 The game was closely contested and more than usually interesting for seven innings. During this time Sedgwick had pitched an exceptional fine game and had been ably supported by Sul- livan and other members of the team. When the eighth inning opened the score stood to 5. In this inning, how ever, the local team went to pieces and allowed their Hartford rivals to pull away from them. The circus was opened by several errors by Second Baseman Fitzgerald and then several other members of the team took.a hand in the "comedy of errors" This dis couraged Sedgwick and he let up mater ially in his pitching. .
 About 600 persons were present and witnessed the slaughter of the inno- cents"

Work Being Pushed Ahead.

The rails for the Edgewood avenue electric road that have been long waited for have arrived and are being laid with all possible dispatch. Work has been begun on George street and at other points. Obstacles have also been met with in the shape of the delayed signing of contracts with roads over whose tracks it will be necessary for them to run. These contracts have been completed, the last of them being signed Tuesday.
 Cars will eventually be run down George street from College to State street, but 1t is thought that these cars will not be put in operation for some time.
 The compnay have men at work con- meeting the George street tracks with those of the Winchester avenue line on College street. The cars have been or- dered from the factory. As soon as these connections are made, including that on Sherman ave- nue, crossing the Fair Haven and West- vile track at Broadway, the road will have two separate lines from Mott street and Edgewood avenue to the green.
 One route, the old original one, will be from Mott street down Edgewood avenue to Howe, Howe to Elm, to Church, to Chapel. over the Dixwell avenue tracks. The other route will be from Mott street down Edgewood ave- nue to Sherman avenue, to George street, to College street. to Chapel, over the Winchester avenue tracks to Church street.
 It is expected that the necessary con- nection can be made in about three or four weeks, when cars will be run. Al trial trip was made over the old line Tuesday.

GROWN MAY BE RETRIEVED.
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE FULL
 BOARD OF P tRDOSS CALLED.

Governor Morris Says a Reprieve Will
 Probably be Granted for Two Months
 The Board of Pnrdons Is to Meet the First
 Monday fin October.
 It now looks as though Cronin. the condemned murderer. yet has a chance for his life. although he has already become an inmate of the steel cage in the house of execution at Wethersfield prison. and his execution fixed for the 24th inst.
 At any rate his execution Is to be delayed for two months. Governor Morris went to Wethersfield yesterday and had long conference with Warden Woodbridge. and as result a meeting of the full board of pardons has been called for Monday, October l. and Gov ernor Morris said last evening that a reprieve for two months would in all probability be granted to-day.
 The board of pardons meets only sary to call special meeting to decide anything of this nature.
 Dr. Francis Bacon of this city Is a member of this board. AS he is at present abroad in Europe, 1t was neces- sary to appoint the meeting at @ date after his expected return.
 This action will give the prisoner a right to be heard before the board of pardons, who may commute his sen- tence to Imprisonment for life.
 It is intimated that Governor Morris Is opposed to the new method of execu- tion. Whether this be true. it is impos- sible to say at present. but it is praoti- callly certain that Cronin will not hang on August "A.

 with him, and his business was greatly
 injured.
