EAST HAYEN.
A voxed school Question.

East Haven, June lit is in evil
dence that prominent public official
of New Haven recently made the state
ment that no one except the undersigned
favored the Forbes land on the hill for
site for the new public school build
ing.
1t also is in evidence that at legal
meeting Of the voters of the ONION
School District" held on Thursday
evening, May 2, 1895, between the hours
of to II O'Clock, only nine votes
more were required in order to secure
the necessary two-thirds vote fixing
the site-the best in the town-on the
Forbes property.
There is additional testimony to show,
and that is the records of the district
that in all the school meetings held
from January to May, both months in
elusive, the Center school house site on
High street never received at any one
time six votes.
The arbitrator have a difficult prob
lem to solve in order to conserve all
interests, the present and the future.
An undesirable site is not wanted, but
one that will for many years to come
be a credit to the wisdom and sagacity
of those who selected it and to the
future Brooklyn of New Haven.

THEY PLAYED INHARD LUCK
STRdNDED FOOTBALL PLAYERS EN
ROUTE no NEW YORK.

The Players Are Women and Wore Sem
Hero From Springfield, Where the Team
Went to Pieces-rhclr Visit to Towr
Agent, Selectman Brctzfe'der and Ageni
Preston.
The office of Town Agent Baldwin in
the city hall was late yesterday af-
ternoon besieged by seven young wo-
men and three young men, who asked
Clerk Perry, who happened to be the
only occupant of the Office at the time,
to furnish them with free trausporta-
ton to New York city. They explained
to him that they were the remnants
of a troupe of female football players
who have been touring the country and
yesterday were stranded in Springfield.
Owing to the absence Of the town
agent, Clerk Perry referred the party to
Agent Preston of the Organized Char
tiles. Thither the party wended their
way and asked that official to assist
them to New York. All the parties
are young, the average age of the
men being about twenty years and of
the girls from sixteen to twenty years.
To Agent Preston one of the party
told the story of their misfortune.
1--WE have been playing local football
teams in Massachusetts" said one of
the girls, who was apparently the leader
of the crowd, land were stranded at
Springfield. We applied to the overseer
of the poor there and he furnished us
with passes to New Haven and told
Al, eriN
us passes to New York. One of the
girls he sent to her home in Boston.
Now we are here, can't you send us to
our homes in New York;"
Agent Preston.-Well won't give
you any passes. but I'll tell you what
will do. If you are strong enough
to kick a football you women are GER
tainly strong enough to kick wash
board and the men a saw. l will give
you all an opportunity to work in the
laundry and wood yard connected with
this institution until you have earned
enough to pay your way to New York.
That's the best ! can do.
This proposition did not meet with
the approval of the party and after n
brief consultation they wendell their
way out of Agent Preston's office say
ing they were going to see the mayor.
Back they went to the city hall, but
were unable to find the city's chief
executive and were directed to the Of
flee of Selectman Bretzfelder in the Ex-
change building.
Here they explained their situation
to the leader of the democratic minor
ity of the board of selectmen and the
latter hurried to the town agents Of
flee in search of Mr.. Baldwin. The
latter could not be found and Selectman
Bretzfelder returned to the office and
told the party that he would bring the
of the town agent to the mat
ter at the meeting of the board in the
evening.
The party appeared before the select
men last night and were given passes
on the Old Line boat to New York.

TIE MISsl oNs LOOTED.

Chinese Officers Stood by While tho Mobs
Were at Work-Vicoroy Liu is Blamed
Buildings Mt Knting, YnohpU and Chcng-
tn Completely Destroyed.
Deep interest and sohcitude is felt in
Now Haven over the news from China
regarding the recent attack upon mis-
sionaries by mobs, as many New Haven
people have dear personal friends con
nocted with the mission work there.
The latest news ON the subject is as
follows:
London, June 11.--A dispatch from
Shanghai to the Pail Mall Gazette says
kilograms received from Climbing re"
port that the property OF the English
and American missions at Kiatlng, Yo-
chou and Chengtu has been completely
destroyed by rioters.
The officers at those places refused to
give any protection to the missionaries
until the mobs had finished Their work
of destruction.
Other missions are reported to be
threatened. The viceroy Liu, is chiefly
blamed for the action Of the mob.
New York, June ia cable dispatch
from Shanghai was received this morn
ing at the headquarters of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Foreign Missionary So
ciety stating that the mission property
in Chengtu and Hating had been utter
ly destroyed, but that the missionaries
were safe. The society has had no in
tmation of trouble in this section and
are at loss to account for the disturb
ance.
The missionary stations Of Kiating,
Yochou and Chengtu are situated in the
interior of China near the border of
Thibet. They are the most difficult to
reach Of any Of the missionary sta
lions.
1t is thought probable that the dis
turbances took place in the latter part
of May. The natives are exceedingly
superstitious and are easily excited. 1t
is thought possible that the present
unsettled conditions in China may have
been in some way responsible.
There are some four missionary So
cieties represented in this section. They
are the Methodist Episcopal, the Cana
dian mission, Chinese Inland and
Church of England The Roman Cath
Ollie church also has valuable property
in these towns, and it is probable that
they have also suffered.
There Were in all about fifty mission
aries in this section at the time. The
property which is reported to be de-
stroyed is valued at about $50O0OO
The missionaries who are at Chengtu
are the Rev H. DIN Cady and wife,
DR.. H. J.. Cartwright and wife, the
Rev. J. F. Peat and wife, the Rev. j.
O. Curnow and wife, the Rev. DR.. H.
v. G. Hart, formerly of the Central Chi
ma mission, and several of his associ-
ates of the Canadian Methodist church.
In the report for last year the property
of the Chengtu mission, including dwell
lings chapels. schools, etc, is valued at
81, 900.

Old Age.

MT N. Reed of Amenia Union reach ed the age of ninety years on Tuesday Feq 26. He had not expected to es- cape the common infirmities of old age, but has found relief in the watchful care of his friends. He Is in comforta- ,ble heslth, out the almost total loss of his sight is relieved by listening to read ing of papers, magazines. and books. The birthplace of Mir k has ever been his home, as it was of his father and bis gran ndfather, and this has been the home of the family for 123 years. Many of his friends greeted him on this occasion. Some by visits. some by letters. Mir R was asked, what are the conditions for the attainment of long life. He re- piled, the first condition is to have long lived ancestry; another, to have pleasant domestic and social life; another. to be engaged in reasonable degree of &C., tiyity of body and mind. Good den- tistry Is also favorable to long life. Trust in Providence and hopeful ex- pectatiou of the future are very essen tial conditions of longevity. Armenia Times, March. 2.
 AIr Reed taught school in Canaan over 60 years ago and is pleasantly re. membered by a nun Der of our old resi- dents who send greetings and congratu- lations to him on his becoming a nono- genarian.

A Race for Lie.

Last Saturday night west-bound freight train, Joseph Owen engineer, parted soon after leaving Norfolk. Al Buffers dry bridge, so-called, between Norfolk and West Norfolk, the reer section overlook the forward section MT Owen, in order to keep away from the rear section. put on steam and ran his train at fearful speed down the grade toward East Canaan, hotly pur- sued by the rear section. Warned by Owens whistle, which he sounded at frequent intervals, the trains on the main track in the yard at Canaan got onto the sidings and gave Mir Owen's train the right of way. His speed as he dashed through the yard was 40 miles an hour. He finally stopped his train on Foley's summit knowing that he was then certainly out of danger. As it happened, however, the brakemen on the rear section got their cars under control at Eist Canaan. It seems miraculous that Owens tram did not jump the track in going around some of the sharp curves.

DEATH OF MRS. LITTLE.

Mrs Cornelia Eldred Little, aged 73 years, wife of Mir Robert Little, wss found dead in bed at her home in Wea- togue Salisbury last Thursday morn- ing. Medical Examiner Bnrtch, of Salisbury, was summoned and he de- cIded that Mrs Little's death was caused by a shock and that she probably died about 2 a. m. while peacefully sleeping. Mrs Little had suffered two shocks pre- viously, within the past two or three years. She was feeling unusually well the day before her death, and besides doing other work she had pared and dried 8 bushel of apples. Mir Little was in Rome, x. T., where telegram reached him informing him of Mrs Little's death. He arrived home Fri day morning.
 Mrs Little was the daughter of the late Erastus and Maria E. Eldred who for many years owned and occupied the farm where Mrs Little's whele life has been spent Both Mir and Mrs Little have been remarkably industrious and they accumulated a large amount of real estate and personal property. They had been married 52 years. Their only child, the first wife of Mir Elson J.. Hornbeck of Falls Village, died about fifteen years ago and MT and Mrs Little never recovered from the blow of that sad bereavement. Mrs Little was ever ready and willing to assist a worthy person or worthy cause and she will be missed in many ways. While her health permitted she was the superintendent of the Sunday school in Weatogue.
 The funeral of Mrs Little was largely attended at her late residence on Sunday at s p. n. Her pastor, the Rev J. 0. Goddard of the Congregational church in Salisbury, conducted the services. The bearers were neighbors, viz, Messrs Edward Ward, Geo. R. Wilcox, s. T. Wolcott and M. s. Spaulding. The in. torment was in the family plot at Sails. ] bury Centre. The funeral and burial arrangements were complete in every detail and every thing was done in the most tender manner and designed tc avoid the somber features of death, ever the grave being concealed with ever greens and flowers.
