A Terrible ISlow.

Shortly after o'clock last night man was found lying bleeding and senseless on the pavement on George street, oposite the German Lutheran church. The police were notified and Sergeant Mcbride on his rounds in the vicinity sent call for the wagon. but through some error it went to the other end of George street. The other wagon responded and the man was removed to the hospital, where he was found to be suffering from a blow in the mouth and under the influence of liquor.
 He was identified as John Jenott, a man with a police record, inoffensive when sober. A witness of the assault stated that a man and woman were passing up George street when Jenott accosted them. The man immediately felled Jenott to the ground with blow of his fist and departed with the woman He must have been terrible hitter, as Jenott had not recovered consciousness at a late hour last night.

I MIN UNDER HER RED.

Miss Hollis Frantic Appeal to the Police for Aid-Burglar Enters Her House in the Daytime and RansacISs Her Rooms Bureaus Opened and Drawers Riff d. About o'clock yesterday afternoon
 a breathless messenger rushed into the central police station and stated that a woman on Olive street had found a man under her bed and wanted a squad of policemen sent down at once to cap ture the marauder
 Detective Sergeant Cowles and Pa trolman Hayes immediately started for the place mentioned. It was the house, 94 Olive street, occupied by Miss E. B. Hollis who rents a few rooms to gen. tlemen.
 At the house the two policemen met Miss Hollis at the door and they were joined by Patrolman Bowen, who was near the spotTo the trio of officers Miss Hollis excitedly told her tale of terror. She stated that she had gone up town for a little shopping and had securely locked every door and window. Of this she was positive, as it was her invaria- ble custom. On her return she went di- rectly to her room and she immediately noticed that her bureau had been dis turbed, A nasty examination showed
 that several articles of jewelry were ing $7 in money.
 She turned to leave the room when something attracted her attention be- heath the bed. What was her horror to see projecting from beneath the foot board the foot of a concealed man. Greatly excited she turned and fled to the lower floor and hastily dispatched a messenger to the police station. To the assembled policemen she stat ed that the man must yet be in the room, so Sergeant Cowles started up the stairs three steps at time, and darted into the bedroom. A black ob- ject protruded from underneath the bed and he grabbed it and pulled it into the light. It was small leather handbag. This was all that there was to be found under the bed, and not a sign of
 burglar was visible in the closets or
 anywhere else.
 The house was thoroughly searched
 but not a trace of the intruder could be found. For introduer there undoubted- ly was, for the house had been
 thoroughly ransacked. Evidently the
 thief had been disturbed as a nasty ex-
 animation showed that the list of miss
 ing articles comprised seven pieces of
 jewelry, a purse containing sS.50 in
 money. a vest and diagonal coat and vest belonging to H. F. Simmons, a roomer.
 The house had not been broken into,
 as the doors and windows wer call found locked The houss was searched
 from the cellar right up through, the
 policemen going out on the roof in their search. but there was no trace of the robber.

 Tower-Special ConstabIes Appointed.
 Councilman Rufus S. Pickett protest
 ed against the aldermanic orders for a sewer in Sylvan avenue, between Stew
 ems street and Winthrop avenue. He
 stated that the Winthrop avenue sewer
 runs through Evergreen cemetery, and
 is unequal to the demand upon it, and
 that if any branches were added the
 sewage would overflow on the graves
 and would cause a most lamentable state of affairs.
 He presented remonstrance signed
 by himself, Thomas Phillips & Son, the | Norwich Savings society, Thomas Bow den, Peter McQuaid, William Button and sylvan avenue property holders, and Benjamin R. English, George M. Grant, James D. Dewell and N. c. War | her, directors of the Evergreen cemetery | association Councilman Pickett offer
 ed an amendment to the aldermanic or der that the sewer not be built until | Oak street was severed so far as to re- lieve the Winthrop avenue sewer, and thus prevent the cemetery from being overlooked.
 Councilman Ullman opposedth amend ment as a sewer had been ordered through Stevens street, the cesspools | must be abolished and the people will be
 in very unpleasant predicament if the sewer is not built.
 Councilman Rourke in behalf of the living and the dead moved that the mat ter be sent back to the committee, and | it was so voted.
 The ordinance committees report about car lenders was adopted with the | following amendment: That the cor poration counsel be directed to petition | the railroad commissioners to order all the railroad companies using the streets | of the city of New Haven to equip their cars with effective lenders, either | of such designs as said commissioners may specify. or as are by the report | designated Ghe Darach and BarretD, or that may hereafter be approved by l the common council
 The council also voted to have the cor | poration counsel advocate the matter at
 all hearings before the commissioners. The communication from the board of I health stating that the marshes along | the West liver should be drained or l filled in was referred to the board of l finance for an estimate of the cost. The board of finance was instructed tc | hold a public hearing on the matter of l the extension of Chestnut street, i Several hundred residents of Fair
 Haven petitioned for the restoration of the fire tower and bell on No. 5's engine
 house in East Pearl street. The mat
 ter was referred to the fire department | committee.
 1 The names of those who were ap- l proved for, constables last week by the | aldermen were also approved by the council board.

Geers Drove f hree of the Winners at Lex
 ington Events.
 Lexington, Ky, Oct. 14--When the two pacing mares, Miss Rita and Josie B., went a mile here this afternoon double in PIP A they made a new worlds record by shaving a half a sec ond from the 2:12a4 that Fife Powers and Prestoria Wilkes made over the state fair track at Springfield. H., three weeks ago. The last half m le was made in 1:O41s, a 2:09 gait, last quarter in S1 seconds, 2:04 gait.
 another worlds record was broken in the 2:06 pace, as there developed the only instance where five horses earned money out of a race where only four monies were given. Guinette won sec and quite handily by finishing three times second to Star Pointer.
 Geers drove the three winners in to- days events, and with Borea1 in the Kentucky stake his hand had much to do with the victory. On form Boreal was hardly regarded in the contest but he developed high ting in the terminal test. Oakland Baron and Fred Kohl fought a battle to the half in two heats. Kohl won two heats and Killona one. Geers, who had been c1rcIing well be- hind, showed up next time and out footed Oakland Baron home in 2:161a. Though defeated Oakland Baron was not disgraced, for every inch of each of the five heats he was an active con- testant figuring as long as he remained and forcing Fred Kohl 70 earn his best record in 2:121a.
 It was the fight of Fred Kohl and Oakland Baron that gave Boreal the race. The day was perfect, the track fast and the attendance large.

sE1EC1MEN,s MEETING.
Board Acts Regarding Middletown Avenue Improvements-Town Fire Hydrants.


 Improvements-Town Fire Hydrants. Every member of the board of select men was present in his seat last might, and Chairman Stahl beamed benignly at the head of the table as the clock chimed the hour of 8. Town Agent Bald win closed his eyes in weasel slumber and Selectman Bretzfelder got his chair at the proper angle for the coming fray, as Chairman Ludington of the road and bridge committee arose to open the proceedings.
 Mir. Ludington recommended that the roadmaster be instructed to make such repairs on the Tomlinson bridge cause way as were necessary. MT. Baldwin | moved that the report be accepted and the suggestion was adopted, and it was so voted
 MT. Farren appeared before the board in reference to the towns furnishing water for the fire hydrant in the Four teenth ward. He stated that as the town paid for the hydrant in the Eff teenth ward it was no more than right that the Fourteenth ward should be as liberally dealt With.
 At this point Town Agent Baldwin moved that the water board be notified that after November 1 the town would not be responsible for any more water bills for fire hydrants in the Fifteenth ward The motion was carried. It was also voted that the Southern New England Telephone company be notified to remove their poles now on the highway below the Pequot club house on Townsend avenue back to the fence line.
 Chairman Ludington of the road and bridge committee reported and recom-
 mended the approval of the plans and specifications as prepared by Engineer Hill for theimprovement of Middletown avenue in conjunction with the state road commission.
 Town Agent Baldwin moved that the report be accepted and the recommenda- ton adopted. Selectman Cunningham wished to know who would have charge of the work, the town agent or some in spector. before he voted on the question
 Engineer Hill said that the state would like the board to appoint some supervi- sor to take charge of the work under them. After some discussion by Select men Forbes, Brown and Bretzfelder, MT Baldwin's motion was carried. It was also voted to advertise for bids for the work.
 Clerk Perry made a statement in re- gard to the mailing of Selectman Bretz- felder's notification of the finance com
 mittee meeting on Friday. MT. Bretz- fielder thought an intentional atfront had been put upon him, as the notice did not contain the hour of meeting consequently he did not know when to go around, and so did not go at all
 Clerk Perry said he dated the notice October Ii, and as the hour was also Ii he neglected to put on the hour, and it was a pure oversight only.
 The explanation was accepted and the board adjourned at S:45.

An AdinnrnmPnt Granted.

Newtown, L. l., Oct. 14.-The hearing in the case of Young Griffo" and "Kid'' Lavigne, charged with violating section 45S of the penal code, was to-day ad- journed until Saturday. Bail was re- newed in $200. The motion of the as sistant attorney to increase the bail to $500 was refused by Judge Monteverde. The fighters were brought before the judge on an information which stated that there was apprehension that de- fendants were about to engage in a fight on the evening of the 18th of Oc- tober. The counsel moved that the court had no jurisdiction, as the event apprehended had already taken place, and unless the complaint could show that the same date was to come in the futurte they had no standing. The ad- journment was granted to permit of the appearance of District Attorney No ble who wishes to conduct the case per sonally for the people.
