Boat. Oars and Ynunr Man.

Yesterday morning a lady called at the Blakesley store and boat emporium at Lake Whitney about 10 o'clock and said that she was the mother of the young man who had Mr. Blakesley's S boat on Saturday evening and after ward abandoned it. She would not disclose her name but said that her son was at home and was we'll except a slight cold he had taken. The story the woman told of the affair was that her son told her that he was by himself rowing above the second bridge when he suddenly ran into a muskrat hole and capsized his boat. The fellow did not explain how the muskrat hole came to be in the lake, and not on the bank of the lake, where rats are accustomed to burrow. AS transparent and ridic- ulously absurd as the statement was the mother radiantly believed it, for when she was telling the Blakesleys about her sons marvellous escape there was every evidence of sincerity of the narrator. She told MT. Blakesley that she would readily settle all damage, but as the boat had been found in good order the damage was nominal, espec- ially as neighbor had found the oars and returned them.
 Another version of the affair as told by those who saw the young man is that he was seen in company with two other men near where the boat was found, and that all seemed to be hav- ing a great time. They pulled close to the shore and landed from the boat, throwing the oars over in the lake, and also the cushion and rudder.
 It was dark and none of the parties could be recognized.
 A gentleman, who would not allow his name to be used, says he is confident that the mishap was caused by the young men overturning the boat. He accounts for the presence of the three in the boat by being taken upon the boat by the one who hired it from MT. Blakesley, after the first bridge was reached.

ABEAUrIFU1 SERVICE.

The Confirmation at the Court Street
 Temple Yesterday-Elegant Decorations
 Glass of Twenty-two Members-Fine
 Program.
 At the Court street temple yesterday forenoon a class of twenty-two young boys and girls who have atttained the age of fourteen years was confirmed. The service was beautiful and im- pressive one and was largely attended. The temple was richly decorated with flowers and plants, the occasion pre- senting the finest interior decorations of that sort seen in New Haven for some time. Among the decorations were the rarest flowers of the season. The girl confirmants were all dressed in pure white.
 An elaborate program of exercises was presented, among the especially fine numbers being the solos by Mrs. Fechter- Gilbert and Mrs. Cook and the singing by the quartette. Mrs. Hall took Mrs. Roberts place who was out of town. Among the class confirmed was Master David, a son of Dr. Levy, rabbi of the temple. The exercises were very impressive.

OMEGA LAMBDA CHI NIGHT.

Celebrated on the Campus Last Evening
 Rough Initiation of the Freshmen-A
 Good Natured Crowd Despite Rough
 Handling-1, ,0O0 Students on a Lark.
 According to the custom established at Yale during recent years the an- nual celebration Of the defunct Omega Lambda Chi society's glory, which takes place on the evening of May IS, was appropriately observed on the campus early last evening with the usual accompaniment of noise and hi larity. If this last had been the only method of celebrating the occasion doubtless many freshmen would this morning eeel little spryer than they do. As it is many of the "youngsters" are exceedingly sore and will not soon forget the nights occurrences.
 At 6.45 the students began gathering on the campus, the seniors, juniors and sophomores on and around their respec- tive fences, while the freshmen were huddled together in a confused, tremb- ling crowd in the shade of Dwight hall,
 
 doubtless seeking futile protection be- meath the peaceful walls of the Y. M. c. A. building. Their suspense was of short duration. as soon after they had gathered the seniors suddenly with a loud yell began to sing the "Chird, Chird Omega Lambda Chi. We meet to- night to celebrate the Omega Lambda Chi" and forming solid lines began the sideways dancing, march out past the freshman phalanx Behind them came the juniors shouting encourage ment to the freshmen as they passed and lastly came the sophomores shout ing derisively at the freshmen. Ninety nine fell .n at the rear of the line as they must do, or receive the taunts of the entire college, and then began the wild dance around the campus Out through the Vanderbilt arch and into the court rushed the shouting crowd and stopping for moment there col lege cheer was given with such vehe- mence that the townspeople passing looked in wonder to see what it was all about. Back out Of Vanderbilt court surged the crowd of nearly 1000 stu dents led by the seniors and after few strategic moves to throw the freshmen off their guard, suddenly the seniors led the procession through the narrow l way between Old Chapel and North and as the seniors, juniors and sopho- mores came through they lined up three or four deep on each side forming a gauntlet fully 200 feet long, through which the freshmen were to pass ol loose the high opinion of the college re- specting their valor. Plucking up cour- age they came through the line, and then began the fun for the upper class es, and misery for the freshmen. Kicks and blows without mercy were show | cred upon them until it is safe to say that hardly a single freshman was Jeff without a bruise. One senior witf still more develish ingenuity than his classmates had stored in his room ir North a quantity of water with which he deluged the freshmen as they pass ed underneath his window.
 Everything was, however, taken ir full part. and the freshmen thankful that their ordeal, through which al freshmen must pass, was over joined with the other classes in singing college songs and having a rollicking gooc time.

Victory for the Singers.

Washington, May 1S.-The long pend- ing case of the Singer Manufacturing company vs. the June Manufacturing company and Burt were decided in the supreme court of the United States to- day. The result was a practical vic- tory for the Singer company, but one of the contentious of it's counsel was over thrown by the decision, which was an- nounced by Justice White. He stated that where under the life of a patent a name became the generic designation of the thing made, at the end of the life of the patent the name, with the article patented, became the property of the public, and it's use could not be restrained by injunction. The court further held, however, that the right did not exist to use the name indis- criminately or without qualification, so that the public would be deceived by it's use into the belief that the thing manufactured was different from what it really was, or that it was made by a person or corporation other than the real maker. In these cases the name and the initial design used by the Sin ger company, both being involved, were not so qualified, and the judgment of the circuit court of the northern dis trict of Illinois, in favor of the June company and Burt, was reversed, with directions to modify the decree in ac- cordance with the opinion of the su- preme court of the United States.

METHODIST CONFERENCE
DR. BERRY WITHDRA IFS HIS NAME
 AS 4 CANDIDATE.

Dr. Medley, Who Came to the Conference
 as Favorite, Has Fallen Into Disfavor-- Still Fighting as to Who Will be Elected Bishop.
 Cleveland, May 1S.-The fact that
 everybody expected that the M. E. con- ference would elect the new bishops ] this morning served to draw large
 crowd to Central armory. Bishop John F. Newman presided. The Rev. Dr. Morris and A. B. Perkins, delegates from the church south, were a presented to the conference. Dr. Mor-
 } ris is the gentleman who was ignored by the conference two weeks ago and { is now back that the conference may X make amends.
 A great deal of time was consumed < in an effort to change the discipline so as to do away with the leaders and stewards meetings It was purposed 4 by the committee on revivals to put { their work on the official board. The \ objection raised was that the official ! board should not have anything to do X with matters spiritual, but should at < tend strictly to business. The result was announced as follows: Necessary to choice 3S4; H. A. Butz 21S, Earle Cranston 2S6, c. c. McCabe H 23s, N. F. Bowen 1T, T. B. Medley 57, J. w. Hamilton 159. The ballot showed surprising losses for Butz, Cranston and Bowen.
 There are at least ten men who are doing a good deal of quiet electioneer- ing to get the election. Among them 8 are Dr. Bashford of the Ohio Wesleyan university, Dr. Buckley of New York Dr. Medley, Dr. Smith of Pittsburg President Reid of Dickinson college, A q J. Palmer Of New York, and Rev. Dr. Mitchell of Cleveland.
 Z Dr. Medley, who came to the confer ! ence as favorite and who it was be- lieved stood a good chance of election, fell into disfavor on account of his stand on the woman question. It seems from the ninth ballot that his friends are endeavoring to pick him up again as his vote shows gain of forty over @ Saturday.
 # The result of the tenth ballot was as # follows: Bultz 193, Cranston 259, Nc Cabe 223, Hamilton 1SO, Brown 12 Medley S1 c. W. Smith 9, Berry 1. The h ballot showed further gains for Hamil- ton of 21, for Cranston 23, for. Medley H 23, and loss for McCabe of 14 and fol )g Bultz os B. pr. Berry put the confer. ence in good humor by saying that ir 11a order to facilitate the election he would withdraw his name as a candidate The conference adjourned until 2:30 Thirteenth ballot-Cranston 245, Mo A Cabe 190, Hamilton 1S6, Medley 172, Butz N 125.
 A The conference after the thirteenth % ballot adjourned until tomorrow.

Longfellow Cottage Burned.

Lynn, Mass, May 1S.-The residential portion of the town of Nahant was this afternoon the scene of g. disastrous fire, which destroyed five valuable summer residences, causing property loss ap- proximating s100,000. The wind was very high. the water supply was made quate and only vigilant efforts on part of the fremen prevented the confiagra- tion being more disastrous. The cot- tage on the Samuel Russell estate, which was the last to catch fire, but the swiftest to burn, was situated near a quarter mile from the historic Long fellow house, the first to burn. There were no houses to leeward of the Rus- sell house and it was owing to this that the fire did not spread further. It sim ply burned itself out for lack of more material in that direction.
