A Man Steps or an Electric Gar and is
 Nearly Thrown Under the Wheels.
 A man narrowly escaped death short ly before 8 o'clock last evening by jumping off an electric car on Elm street, West Haven, just before it had reached Washington avenue. He arose from his seat near the front of the car and stepped to the running board and then stepped to the ground without giving any notice to the conductor, al- though the car was going at a high rate of speed. He fell toward the car and his foot struck the hub. so that his shoulder and head came back under the running board. The car was stopped within twenty feet, notwith- standing the rate of speed at which it was going. Although the man escaped without injury. it was close call for him and caused the cheeks of many women on the car to blanch with fear.

 Suddenly Disappears.
 New Britain, Aug. 5.-Frank Hall, sex ton of the Center church, left his home Wednesday and was expected to re- turn that night. Nothing has been heard from him since.

He has been prominent inadetecting violators of the liquor law. and has been threatened several times by law breakers. It is be- lieved that he fled for the sake Of his personal safety.

IS HE 4 Bos US RABBIs
A Man Who Has Been Performing Mar
 rtages in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport. Aug. S-The Hebrew pop ulation of the city was thrown into con- sternation to-day by the report that q bogus rabbi had been doing the town performing marriages at a reduced price, and yet having no official connec- ton at all with the Hebrew church. It was claimed that the stranger on May 6, 1894. pretended to join in wedlock William Damosch and Fannie Jerusa- lem. and on the same day performed a ceremony which was intended to bind together Nathan Engleman and Bertha Greenbaum. These were said not to be marriages at all, although the parties thought they were and have of course since lived together.
 The Rev. M. J. Dissin, rabbi of the synagogue in Wheeler's building. was Investigating the affair this morning. He found that the town clerk issued licenses on that day for the parties mentioned above. but that no return has ever been made to him, altho .gh the law requires the certificate of mar riage to be returned to the town clerk within thirty days after the ceremony is performed
 Rabbi Dissin wassunable to find the parties who were mArried by the stran- ger. and he does not know positively whether the man had the authority of a or not. He says he might be New York rabbi clothed with proper authority. but why no return was made to the town clerk he is un- able to understand. If he were a regu- lar clergyman he must be familiar with the law on this point and there seems to be no good reason why 1t was not ob- served. MT. Dissin will continue the in- vestigation until he ascertains the truth in relation to the matter.

PANIC ON CHICAGO'S FIELD.
MEN AND WOMEN WERE TERROR

 Chicago, Aug. 6.-Time was called
 In the seventh inning of the Chicago Cincinnati ball game this afternoon at
 the West Side park by a cry of fire. fol- lowed by scenes never before witnessed at sporting place in this city. Anson was showing the visitors how to hit the ball in the seventh when red light began to flash and rise along the side stand where the 50-cent spectators sat. There were l.500 of them In the seats and 5000 witnessing the game altogeth- CT. The break-out of the fire caused a general rush of the curious people in that part of the grounds to the top of the stand to take a look,as there was no longer any game in progress. The woodwork of the stand and the piles VI PoPSt uho oSuei Ioppish lhfoWh around provided fuel for the flames. which gained on the imprisoned men and women before they knew 1t. When they realized their danger all was con- fusion in an instant among the occu- pants of the flaming wooden structure There were over 1000 persons imperilled. In their frantic efforts to extricate fh ooIHyoe hal tions they became panic-stricken. They found themselves hemmed in by fire on one side and high barbed wire fences on the other. erected to keep the people from encroaohing on the diamond.
 The exits were few and small and were already filled with smoke. Wo- men screamed in their fright and men got jammed against the sharp fence. The exits might as we'll have not been there. Hands, faces, limbs and clothing were cut and torn by the scrambling mass of humanity in trying to force passage through the wire strands or over them. The fence would not give way, but Ryan and Wilmot Of the local team made a gap through 1t by using their bats like blaoksmiths.
 Hundreds escaped that way. Mir. Hart had the fence behind the stand demolished fifty feet in width, but the crowd was beyond the stage of reason or observation. Five minutes after the last spectator had got out of reach of the flames every seat was being con stunned. The rush to get away from the advancing flames resulted in the in- jury of scores. Cuts. bruises. oontu- sions, a broken arm and broken leg were the injuries sustained. Many of the victims, although badly hurt, left the grounds before the policeaor others could get their names. The spectators who were in the grand stand and on the bleachers were at safe distance from the fire and got away into the field without mishap.
 The property of the club was damaged s15, 600 before the fire department extin- guished the flames. A cigar stub thrown among the rubbish started the fire.
 The grounds will be used tomorrow by fencing off the burned portion.

Enssish Opinions Are That Japan Cannot

 London, Aug. 6.-The Standard main- tains that despite every excuse deduci- ble from later reports there is nothing that exonerates Japan from the charge of brutality and barbarism toward the Chinese. Not long ago. 1t says. an in- oident like" the Row Shiang affair, would have immediately brought a British squadron to Tokio. The Stan dard proposes that Russia and England Jointly demand that both Japan and China withdraw their forces from Corea forthwith and entrust the government of the peninsula to an international conference.
 ! Failing in this, the Standard adds, we must anticipate very anxious per- iod, and no time should be lost in in- creasing the British squadron in the far east,
 a The Daily Chronicle says that there Is good reason to believe that the bat tie reported on July 29 is identical with the two days battle referred to on August 1. when the Japanese were said tohave repeatedly attacked the Chinese entrenched at Yashan and to have been repulsed at all points with great loss. The Chronicle considers the ear- Her story Chinese invention. Reverting to the Kow Shiang the Chronicle says: It is not easy to see what else the Japanese could have done. Soldiers who will not retreat or surrender must take the chance of be- ing killed.

 Topeka. Kan., Aug. 5.-The republi- can state committed has sprung the po- Htical sensation of the campaign. Itsis letter written by Associate Justice Stephen H. Allen, of the supreme court, to Lieutenant Governor Daniels, dated May 19, just before the populist state convention. The letter in part says:
 Tt seems to be generally conceded that the drift of sentiment is all in fa- vor of the renomination of Governor Lewelling and that of the other state officers. Within the past few days I have learned from friends of the ad- ministration of the circumstances show ing that the administration of affair are in some, if not in all the cities of the first class, are thoroughly corrupt, and that to the knowledge at least of the governor have been told the cir cumstances, which tended very strong ly to indicate that this condition of af- fairs meets with his sanction. It is an open secret that the prohfbitory law has not been enforced in the larger cities. systematic boodling by the police de- partments. Worst, of all, dread possi- ble developments showing direct con- nection of the executive offices with these matters. We have, all to defend that we can possibly carry without having to meet charges of corruption"
 The letter was written on the supreme court letter head, and the signature was compared with that of Justice Allen on other documents and found to be iden- tical. Justice Allen is out of the state on vacation. Chairman Breidenthal de- clines to talk. The republican commit tee will have the letter Autographed and scattered broadcast over the state.

ONE TRIAL ENOUGH.

Judge Bradley Overrules Col Breckin.
ridges Plea for Another Hearing.
The motion OF Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge
for a new trial was overruled yesterday by
Judge Bradley in Circuit Court No. l.
Judge Jere Wilson and Calderon Carlisle,
representatives of Miss Pollard. and Messrs.
Hallam, Shelby, and McKenny, with their
client, Mr. Breckinridge. filed into the court
room and took seats in front of Judge Brad
ley.
When court had been declared open Mr.
Carlisle stated that he desired to have the de-
fendants motion for a new trial taken
up, and asked the court at what time this
could be DONE
Judge,,Bradley said that the trial had been
fair and every legal question that had come
up had been satisfactorily settled.
He said that if there must be new trial it
should go to the Court of Appeals. and he
would therefore overrule the motion for a
new trial.
Relative to the defendants request for a
thirty-day extension for preparing a bill of
exceptions, the court said he doubted his
power to grant such extension.
The plaintiffs attorney agreed to offer no
objection to the grant of thirty days, and ex-
ceptions will therefore be filed.
Bond was fixed at 800 for an appeal, which
Breckinridge's counsel gave notice would be
taken to the Court Of Appeals.
