YALE FACULTY CONSENTS.

To Allow the Crew to Go to EngIand-Cer
tain Conditions Imposed-To Sail June
6th-A University Meeting to Consider the
Matter--Great Satisfaction on the Camp
us.
At joint meeting of the Shelf and
academic Yale faculty last night it was
decided to allow the university navy to
send crew to England to compete in
the Royal Regatta at Henley this year.
The varsity crew can go on certain
conditions. The scientific faculty
agrees perfectly in the plan. The fac
u1ty decided that the crew should be
given ample time on the other side of
the water to prepare for the contest
there and so will allow the crew to sail
June g. The oarsmen will also be al
lowed to take a special examination
before going to England SO as to be free
from college duties. The conditions
imposed are that all the members of
the crew must make up any deficien-
cies in study before June l. Every man
must pass the required examination be-
fore leaving New Haven.
The news that the faculty had. de-
cided to allow the oarsmen to go was
hailed with great satisfaction on the
campus last night. Captain Treadway
and Manager de Sibour will issue
call for a university meeting to be held
at an early date to lay plans for the
trip and to determine the undergradu-
ate opinion of the feasibility of the
trip.

FELT LIKE FIGHTING.
O'Connor Challenges the World and in the
End is Locked Up.

End is Locked Up.
Patrick O'Connor, moulder employ
ed at the J. B. Sargent company's fac
tory, made considerable excitement in
the vicinity of Jackson's restaurant on
Center street last evening about seven
o'clock. 1t seems that O'Connor had
applied to the restaurant proprietor for
glass of water, which was given him
and which he refused to drink. An at
tempt was made to take the glass from
him. This seemed to rile the spirits
within the irate O'Connor and he at
once stripped himself for a pugilistic,
encounter. He laid his coat and vest
at his feet in the middle of Center street
and delivered himself of a challenge to
all comers.
1t was now time for the small boy to
get in his work and a cry came from
the curbstone, "Send for Fitzsimmons,
or "Pompy jim" This O'Connor ac
cepted as a challenge and he immedi-
ately made break for a student whom
he thought had insulted him. The brass
moulder was too much for the son of
Eli and there was an exciting foot race.
Patrolman Bowen arrived on the scene
of action. O'Connor had been master
of ceremonies until this juncture, but
the patrolman was more than a match
for him. A well aimed blow from the
coIoners right landed on O'Connor's
chin and the pugilist was knocked out.
A call was sent in for the patrol wag-
on, which arrived just as O'Connor was
recovering from the soothing effect of
the doughty colonePs cordiality He
objected to riding in the wagon at first,
but was finally landed in the central
station not much the worse for the fra
cas-.

SHELTON BOROUGH.
A Clean Sweep for the Republicans

Clean sweep Tor the RepuDDcans'
Derby, March 2--The Shelton bor-
ough election this afternoon resulted in
a clean sweep for the republicans.
Nearly every one of the officers had be-
tween 125 and 1870 votes majority. This
is partially accounted for owing to the
fact that forty of the democratic votes
were thrown out because they did not
conform to the statute which deter
mines the size of ballots. The result
was as follows:
Warden, Charles ]. Conrad; burgess
es, D. Fl. Richardson, F. w. Radcliffe,
F. M. Hotchkiss; treasurer, D. F. Brins-
made; assessors, G. w. Beardsley, w.
H. Smith, Joseph Tomlinson; bailiff,
Gideon Tomlinson.
l.. N Booth and M. l.. Biever will
represent the democratic voters in the
board of burgesses by agreement arriv-
ed at previous to the election.

Twelfth street, by throwing, herself

distance of four stories Her skull was
crushed, and death resulted instantly.
She was a private patient and came

and she was accordingly given special
care. The cataract had been removed
and Miss Lindsey was to have gone to
her home in New Haven this after
noon. DR.. Knapp sent letter to Coro-
ner Hoeber this afternoon detailing the
facts in the case, but failing to men,
tior the woman's name.

ond street and Broadway, and will be
taken to New Haven tonight in charge

SUICIDE BY sR OoTING.

An Invalid Euds Ilis Life With Revolver.
William Trumbose, who lived with his
nephew. L. M. Hartman, at 244 Ferry
street, Fair Haven, committed suicide
by shooting himself yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock. Mr.. Trumbose,
who was widower, had lived with the
Hartmans since the death of his wife
about two years ago. He had been in
i'll health for several months suffering
at times a great deal of pain.
About 1:30 O'Clock yesterday after
noon he retired to his room, as was his
custom. He had been in the room
about half an hour when Miss Hart
man, the daughter of l.. M. Hartman,
heard the report of a pistol. She and
lady who had come in to have some
sewing done rushed into the room to
find the old man lying with his face
down, having fallen in that position,
with the smoking revolver still in his
hand. The bullet had entered the right
temple just in front of the ear.
Mrs. Hartman, who had followed the
other women to the room, ran to her
uncle asking why have you done
this?" She received no reply. They
got the man, who was not yet dead,
on the bed and sent for DR.. Roberts,
who arrived soon, but could do the
wounded man no good. At 2:35 Trum-
bose. was dead. He was seventy-s six
years old and came here from Quaker
town, Bucks county, Penn, where he
has three brothers living. His remains
will be taken to Schlisterville, Penn,
and buried in the cemetery of the Dutch
Reformed church there, of which he
was a member.

Nothing Abnu Dunraven.

London, March 2.-The secretary of
the Yacht Racing association states
that there is no truth in the report
that meeting of the association is to
be held to discuss the matter of the
expulsion of Lord Dunraven from the
New York Yacht club. The members
of the association, he says, have dis
cussed the matter among themselves,
but nothing was said about Lord Dun
raven. In fact nothing has been done
or is likely to be done in reference to
the affair.
