BROKE VENT THE TALENT.

Dandy Jim Gave Them a Surprise and
 They Walked Home.
 Rochester, Aug. 14-They all walked home to-day. It was very dizzy for the manipulators of the box, and frantic grabs were made for a ghost of a chance at something. It was Dandy Jim that gave them the greatest shock, as no one knew Dandy nor his father, Young Jim, until after the race.
 The little gray gelding came here last week from the west and during his stay worked few fast miles on the path, but no one would have guessed that he could have created such cold wave as he did in the second, third and fourth heats of the 2:15 trot. Cob Webbs was barred in the books and sold in the auctions for $50 whenever buy CT could be found for the field at $15 Cob Webbs was just snapped up at that. And then Dandy Jim came into the race without the least excuse in the world for winning and swept up the earth.
 This meeting will be remembered by the talent for surprises. In the 2:2O pace it was just the same, only worse. First Bessie Hal was picked as an air. tight thing, with Ella Eddy and Jo He slow seconds. Then the little daughter of the great Jerome made aSgallant struggle and captured heat and the flop was Instantaneous for the major ity. Then Daisy Despair came down the stretch winner and away, they went with her, but the shorts were on to the game quite as quickly.
 The track was in line shape and the attendance was large.

WILL SMOTHER THE BILLS.
THERE APPEARS TO RE NO HOPE
 FOR THEM BECOMING LAWS.

 Washington. Aug. 1%-There was something of a furry about the senate to-day during the earlier hours of the session. when the four separate tariff bills came over from the house, for 1t was feared that in some way action might be forced and a showing of hands compelled to be made. Especially was this true of the bill to put sugar on the free list There appears, however. to be no hope for any of these bills to be- come laws. as there is disposition on the part of the leaders to smother them In committee. ,.,
 One of the republican leaders said the republicans made sugar free and gave the growers a bounty, and the demo- carts repealed that law. Now the dem- ocrats wanted the republicans to assist them in putting sugar back on the free list without the bounty. This the re- puphSdho VIII Iiol uO. oIOulQ tHeTe D6 an effort on the part of those anxious for free sugar to attempt to prevent sending the bills to the finance commit tee and to secure immediate action thenthe bills will be called up one at a time and made the basis for the for nation of another new tariff bill. Mr. Hill began that work to-day when. he gave notice of an amendment providing for the repeal of the income tax.
 MT. Stewart is ready to lay before the senate a free coinage amendment for each of the independent bills; Mr. Allen will offer the Peffer bill, and MT. Ald- rich will offer an amendment that re- peals the enacting clause of the senate which the house agreed.
 A most determined fight, in fact, will be commenced should there be any dis position shown to treat these inde- pendent measures with any seriousness. It does not appear how quorum could be maintained to keep up this sort of thing. Senators Teller and Dixon have already taken their departure, and it is predicted that the end of the week will find the senate without quorum

How He Received the News-A Gift of Flowers.
 Hartford, Aug. 14-This afternoon at seven minutes past two, precisely, John Cronin, the murderer of Albert Skinner of South Windsor, was notified that Governor Morris had granted him re- prieve for two months, or until October "A. -,-----.- --
 The announcement was made to Cro- min by Warden Woodbridge in the pres ence of Prison Directors chatfield of New Haven, Spencer of Waterbury, Bollmann of New Haven, ,Chapin of New Hartford and Lawton of Middletown.
 When the warden handed the re- prieve to Cronin the condemned man looked at it, but not muscle of his face moved. He presented that wonderful nonchalance which he has maintained ever since his conviction. :
 Warden Woodbridge with a nice del icacy of feeling, presented Cronin with nosegay of bright flowers with the stems kept together with tinfoil. >Cro- min accepted the gift of flowers and said in an undertone that was hardly audible at the door of his cell:' 9
 Thank you" '--
 He raised the bouquet to his nose and scented them. A shade of something like an expression of gratitude passed over his face as he gazed on the flowers.

Saved by the MOtOrman.

What came near being serious ac- cident was averted yesterday afternoon on Kimberly avenue by the watchful- ness and quickness of Motorman Stur- geon. A Savin Rock car was speeding along toward the shore and just be- yond the bridge a. team containing three young ladies and a gentleman was noticed leisurely making its way in the same direction. All at once, not withstanding the fact that the motor- man was striking his warning bell the driver started to cross the tracks in such close proximity to the ap- preaching car that 1t seemed next to an impossibility to the occupants of the car to prevent striking the team. But the alertness of MT. Sturgeon saved the occupants of the wagon from a serious and perhaps fatal accident. :

PERPETRATORS CAN'T AGREE,
HdMDEy's SCHOOL HOUSE cONFLIOl
 GOES MERELY ON.

Location of tho New school House Stlil
 ndecided-Committce Appointed to Ad. Just Differences Unable to Arrive at . | settlement.
 Hamden's school war over the loca. ton of new school house goes merrily on and Is apparently as far from settlc- mont as ever. The chief objection to the new school house, 1t will be remem- | bered, was because the foundation was laid in the old Hamden cemetery This provoked considerable vehement opposi- ton and the result was that tempor- ary injunction was prayed out restrain ing Edwin Atwater, the contractor, from going on with the work.
 Several days ago hearing to dis solve the injunction was held before Judge Hotchlliss in the common plea, court. but after listening to evidence and arguments all of one afternoon he refused to dissolve the injunction and continued the case until next month when 1t will be tried on its merits.
 After the hearing special schoo, meeting was held In Hamden, at which 1t was decided to try to settle the dis pute by arbitration if possible. With | this end in view Edwin w. Potter md George w. Ives, representing the two warning factions, were appointed com- mittee to arbitrate the differences. It was also decided that in the event of these two being unable to agree they should have the power to call in a third party to adjust any differences which might exist between the two ar- bitrators.
 Messrs. Potter and Ives, however, have not been able to agree, and there tha matter stands. Several conferences have been held, but the men were un- able to agree, and 1t is now decided that the services of third arbitrator will be necessary. Who this third ar- bitrator will be has not yet been decided upon. In the meantime all work is sus- pended on the school building and un- less speedy settlement of the diff1- culty is reached 1t Is more than proba- ble that the school building will not be completed in time to be of any use dur< ing the coming school year.
 It was the original intention to have the building completed and ready for school purposes by the first of Septem- Der, but this is now almost an impossi- bility. Even should the committee ap- pointed to arbitrate the differences agree and allow the injunction to bt dissolved, it would be well nigh i'm possible in the two weeks remaining to have the building ready for the opening of the school term. On the other hand, If the committee does not agree and the case goes into the September term of the court, it will probably remain there un- til too late in the season to allow any work to be done.
 In the meantime everything remains in statu quo except the indignation of the citizens, which is now and has been throughout the entire dispute at fever heat. The present school accommoda- tions of Hamden are totally inade- quate, but from the present outlook 1t would seem as though they would be all that the Hamdenites will have dur- ing the next school year.

A Benefit Looked For.

Fall River, Aug 1.-The manufac- turers are not attempting to hide their pleasure at the adoption of the senate tariff bill. They were unexpectedly suc- cessful in securing the attention of inn portant committees and influential men in Washington, and they expect much from the operation of the new schedules. The new schedules will not be as bene- ficial to this city as they will be to New Bedford and other centers where fine goods mills are located, but an indirect benefit is looked for under the new bill.

States Securities.
 London, Aug. 15.-The Standard warns British investors against buying all kinds of United States securities. It will be long time, it says, before the country recovers from the suspended animation of the past year and a half. The Chronicle says: The senate has become the naked and undisguised in- strument of trusts and syndicates. No more shameful or more selfish con- spiracy to enricha few capitalists at the expense of the many has been witness ed in our time.
