 THE NEW DORMITORY-CON-
 TRACTS AWARDED,
 The contracts for the construction of the new Yale dormitory which is to be built on York street, near the corner of Elm, were awarded yesterday.

Ground was broken yesterday morning for the foun- dation and the work is to be pushed to completion with all possible dispatch.
 YALE MAY GET IT. It looks as if Yale will get that $200, 900 spoken of yesterday When Thomas lC. Sloan of New York died four years ago he left that amount to his widow on condition that should she marry again the money was to go to Yale. The engagement of Mrs. Sloan has just been announced to the New York society man, MT. Barclay, and it is said that the wedding will be in April. This will apparently leave Yale clean title to the $200,000 It is thought that part of the money will be devoted to erecting the new dormitory at Yale. Secretary Dexter of the corporation said last eve ming relative to the conditional gift 1 that he understood that it would con- ditionally go to Yale, but he declined to discuss 1t further.
