tated into the Pequaback river, which
was a raging flood, and swept to death
at o O'Clock last night. From the time of
the accident, through the long hours I'M
til this morning, the scene was a busy
one. Large gangs OF railroad men had
been dispatched from Hartford and Wat
erbufy to repair the damage done To the

the unfortunates, as they were fairly torn
through the swiftly = moving waters.
searchers worked all night, but at a dis
advantage, and 1t was not until this morn
ing that the work could be prosecuted
with any degree of satisfaction. Three
men in the early morning found a dead
body in ~plainville pond. Up to IL

sayles Memorial Hall was the scene o.
mirth and gaiety last night. The occasion
was the third annual sophomore ball. 1t
was one of the most brilliant and success
sful events ever given by the college. The
change from the gymnasium, where the
sophomore ball has hitherto been held,
to sayles Hall, proved to be q very ac-
ceptable innovation. The hall looked
beautiful in the simplicity Of its decora-
tions. Owing to the construction OF the
room it was impossible to decorate with
palms and vines to good advantage. But
the natural beauty Of the hall, with the
paintings upon the wall, together with
the corners lastly furnished with diyans,
easy chairs, rugs and tall lamps, produced
a very pleasing effect. The southwest
corner was charmingly, arranged where
the following ~patronesses received their
guests: Mrs. Il. y. Andrews, Mrs. George
A. Buffum, Mrs. George L. Collins, Mrs.
Louis 7. Foster, Mrs. j. Augustus George,
Mrs. Howard Hoppin, Mrs. Charles Mat

From a social standpoint the ball was q
grand success, a large number of city
people and alumni being present. The col
lege boys also turned out iE unusually
large numbers. The following was the
committee of arrangements: Chairman

resented, with William III. Greene, Mary
II Mccormick, Emily J. Sullivan and Jas.
M1rphy, successors in title to j. Is. Hen
messy. Mr.. Mccarthy prot sted that the
city was trespassing. 1t was the begin
ning of the elimination of a series OF
differences over the ownership of the old
Blackstone canal, which have been aired
in newspHpers and courts for a long time,
and at present there is a lawsuit on te-
tween the Hennessy heirs and the rail-
road people because the latter removed
the formers enclosure, or part OF II In
January, 1895.
The city claims to own all tide waters
above Weybosset bridge unde char
ter rom the State, ard as the CITY
Council recently authorized the erection Of
a $3.50 structure over this part OF the Mos
shassuck in order TO properly agitate the
much mootsd question, the authorities
thought today a good time TO take pos
sssion. The reaction from last nights
gale had stirred the sluggish stream to
its very depths and, the tide going out, II
surged ana edditd and rushed madly
toward the sea. 1t was a coquettish
torrent this morning and several times
little boat, (lamed Ruth, by the vey,)
that he came very near pitching over
board; hut nothing could disturb the
/, quilibrium of his countenance and, Wash
i~ngton-like, he kept faithful to his trust.
To heighten the smile, a little Ratchet
lay near him in the bottom OF the boat.
IL was a cold Job nevertheless, and lasted
from 10 O'Clock till half-past II.
Assistant CITY Solicitor Baker directed
the work of removing the distractions,
which consisted of joists which had been
erected to form a light frame work ex-
tending in front of the Hennessy build
ing to the middle of the river. Mr.. Will
lam ID. Bullock of the city engineers
department, had n couple of the employees
of the bridge department on hard with
ropes, broad axes, saws, boat hooks and
a boat, and they logan the demolition
OF the s'structure," first removing a
toilet sign which ornamented one OF the
uprights. The manual labor was done
by foreman John Z. Smith and Thomas
Richards. 1t was only found necessary TO
remove a dozen pieces or so and then
Lawyer Mccarthy was notified that the
lumrer Was piled on the sidewalk and he
could remove il.
He replied that the city had removed 1t
from private property and did so at its
peril, etc. Then the city took an inven-
tory and went AVA n MIR. Mccarthy
forsook his little boat for terra firma.
There was a large gathering of onlook-
ers and "ordCr was mHfntained" by police
man Boss and Martin, who found little
enough TO do.
Mr.. Mccarthy said the next thing in
order would be a suit against the city.

Over Joint Session of the
Legislature.
Election of United States Sen
atOr in Kentucky.
Trouble Is Anticipated From the
Strong Democratic Opposition.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. IA special to
The Courier-Journal, from Frankfort, KY,
says:
The Republicans last night at a secret
caucus in the rooms of Mr.. Godfrey Hun
ter decided to establish a military guard
over the joint sessions OF the Legislature
on the election OF a United States Sena
tor. Those present besides Hunter were
Governor Bradley and Adjutant General
Collier. The Hunter managers announced
TO the Governor that something had to
he done. 1t seemed certain that when
Tompkins and Kaufman were unseated,
the Democratic senator would retaliate
instantly and would not permit the un-
seated Republicans to go in the joint
session, the Democrats having the chief
sergeant-at-arms and door keeper. They
also stated that quite a number of Sena-
tor Blackburn's friend were going to be
sworn in as deputies in order TO help keep
out the unseated Republicans Senator's.
This furnished the basis for the request
for the militia. IL is said that nothing
will be done until Monday as Lieutenant
Governor Worthington will be out OF the
city until then.

Tho nrotorman,u $500 Coat.

Every one who rides on the street cars

In the city, or ut least ono of "a very few.
A reporter asked him where no got the
coat ono cold day this winter. The motor.

other motorman for sl0. The original
owner bought the pclt and had tho coat
made In the northwest. Ii may interest
the two owners of the coat 70 know It's
probable worth Is about $500. A buGalo
robe Is worth that much, and a coat is
equally valuable. There are very few

who do possess them prize them highly.
