RATIFICATION RUMORED.

Judge Hall and Judge Harrison Do Not
 Deny That the Railroad Commissioners
 Have Taken Such Action.
 It was rumored on the street that the railroad commissioners had ratified the agreement between the Consolidat- ed railroad and the city of Bridgeport, by which the former will be allowed to make extensive improvements in it's property and roadbed in that city at an expense of $3,OOO, 900. Judge J. M. Hall, vice president of the Consolidated railroad, stated that the company as yet has received no official notice of the fact. The rumor, however, was no surprise to him, as he said he expected the commissioners would make some such announcement. He thought it pos sible that an official notice had been senlt by the commissioners to the Bridge port authorities before the copy of their decision had been mailed to the railroad officials and that the rumor had origin- ated in that manner. Lynde Harrison. attorney for the railroad, expressed confidence last night that the railroad commissioners had ratified the agree merlt, and llinted that probaly the sec retary of the road, William D. Bishop, jr., whose residence is in Bridgeport, had already received a notification. MT. Harrison said he had expected the rati- ication as tthere was no reason to his knowledge why they should mot. The company has not yet placed the con- tracts for work or material.

Slaughter Was Great.

London, Jan. 30.-The Constantinople correspondent of the United Press tele- graphing under date of January 28, says that letters have been received from cent battle between the Turkish troops and the Armenians who had captured and held the town of Zeitoun. The ex- act number of dead is not known, but it can be stated with certainty that it was very large. Twelve hundred have reached Marash and many more are following them to that place. Many of the wounded have died in Marash or along the road from Zeitoun. A num- Der of prisoners have been taken to Marash. Their treatment was some thing awful. All sorts of indignities were heaped upon them and in a large number of cases they were so shocking ly maltreated that it is impossible to publish the details. The governor of Marash has again tried to bring about a reconciliation between the Turks and the Armenians in Zeitoun. butt his ef- forts have been in vain. Most of the prominent Armenians in the vllayet have been arrested.

THEIR FIRST CONCERT.
The New Haven Orchestral Clubs Per-
 formance Success.

The New Haven Orchestral Clubs Per-
 forinance Success.
 A large audience greeted the New Ha- ven Orchestral club at its first concert of the season in the Hyperion last even ing The performance was creditable throughout and the members of the club deserved the appreciation shown by the applause given the numbers presented. It was the first appearance of the Sap- pho quartet, which is composed of Mrs. Nora Russell Haesche, first soprano; Miss Gertrude Sanford, second soprano; Miss Ellen Hofer, first alto; and Miss Madge Roberts, second alto. Professor Parker of Yale directed the quartet.
 The selections by the club were well received and the individual work of Messrs, Wooster and Wolf deserves es- pecial mention.
 The Orchestral club, through the ef- forts of c. M. Loomis' Sons, secured for the concert the assistance of E. M. Bon nell of New York, the inventor and manufacturer of the autoharp, unique instrument. The quality of tone it pro- duces is wonderfully sweet, and MT. Bonnells handling of it was marvellous. MT. Bonnell came to New Haven with the highest recommendations from the press and eminent New York musicians, and the audience was not disappointed.

YALE TO ROW IN ENGLAND
ARRANGEMENTS MADE TO TAKE PART IN THE HENLEY REGATTA.

Bob Cook in Town-.-A Meeting of Managers
 to be Held-No Intention or Desire to
 Row on the Hudson--The Decision Pleas-
 ing to Yale NIen-The Henley Meet Comes
 off in July.
 Yale will be represented at Henley this summer. This was decided yester- day, and a formal statement of Yale's position and intentions will appear in the Yale News over the signature of Manager De Sibour. The statement will be in substance as follows
 Tt has long been the ambition of Yale to arrange a race with the winner of the Oxford-Cambridg race It, how ever, had not been strongly broached until it was known that there would be no race with Harvard this summer.
 Negotiations were begun but it was impossible to arrange a suitable time for the race. The reasons for this were that Yale's crew would find it imlpossi- ble to go to England before the June examinations, and as the English crews race in the spring it would be impossible to keep them together until the sum- mer. Then the idea was conceived of sending a crew to Henley and core spondence was begun accordingly,w which resulted in an arrangement by which Yale would take part in the famous re- .gatta The crew will be coached by Bob Cook and other old crew men, and will bo y,,oct 5iIi ipapfJyr tra ino1 for, tba ncna. sion.
 Yale has not entered the collegiate race on the Hudson because it seems irn- possible to have such a race free from fouls.
 Bob Cook arrived in town at o'clock yesterday afternoon, being accompanied by Captain Thorne of the Yale '95 foot ball team and Manager de Sibour of this years crew. Captain Treadway took the party over to the gymnasium tank, where an inspectIon of the men took place.
 It was learned last evening from re- liable sources that at no time has the crew management seriously considered making ap roposition to row on the Hudson with Columbia, Cornell, Uni versity of Pennsylvania and Harvard, as the entering the Henley regatta has been considered for some time and it was known that the Hudson race would interfere with the Henley date. The de- cision to row in England is looked upon with great favor by all Yale men.
 MT Cook will probably hold meeting with the crew manager to-day to settle ! upon certain details. The crew policy will not be in any way changed from what it was last year.

Transferred to Vale.

Mary J. Ruickholdt, widow of the late Charles Ruickholdt, conveyed to Yale college Wednesday property on the west side Of High street, between Elm and Chapel streets. The lot has a frontage of 65 feet and extends to a depth of 12o feet.
 In purchasing this property Yale comes in possession Of all the land on High street, between Elm and Chapel streets, with the exception of small piece on the west side of the street which belongs to the Yale Skull and Bones society.
 Yale has been trying for several years to secure possession of the Ruickholdt lot, but the heirs have held out for a larger figure than that offered.
 It is believed that a. good price was paid for the property. Treasurer Far nam said yesterday that he did not care to say what the price was.

CONFLICT IS INlITNENT. . Affairs Are Not All Quiet in Abyssinia Just

Rome, Jan. 3O.-The government has received advc from General Bara teri, commanding Italian forces in Abyssin- ia, showing that General Baratieri re- gently sent an Italian trader named Felter to the camp of Ras Makonnen, the chief commanding the native army which invested the town af Makalle, de- manding the release of the Italian col unln under Colonel Galliano, which was 5esieged in Makalle. Felter was the messenger who arrived in General Bar atieri's camp a few days ago, bringing letters from Menelek, king of Abyssi- nians, for King Humbert and General Baratieri. He appears to have been successful in his mission, for the troops al Makalle were permitted to withdraw from the town without being attacked.
 Colonel Galliano and his column have arrived safely at General Baratieri's camp and they will reinforce the main body of Italians. They brought with them their cannon, munitions and bag gage. At the time General Baratieri sent his dispatches to the government the Abyssinian army was advancing, emu "1S lAeA N4tlilu tnlEty hlloluStelS . of the outposts of General Baratieris s forces.
 A conflict between tha opposing forces is imminent. The Abyssinian army is estimated to number 4O,O00 to 1000 men. some thousands of whom are armed with spears. The others have weapons of precision, including Remington and Winchester rifles. The Abyssinians have number of pieces of artillery, which were used in the attacks on Ma kelle. It is the opinion in Rome that an engagement that will decide whether or not the province of Tigre will be annex ed to the Italian colony of Erythrea will shortly be fought.

THE BABY ABANDONED.
An Eight Months Old Child Left Under
 Window on Bradley Street.

Window on Bradley Street.
 A little girl baby, apparently between six and eight months old, was found under the window of George w. Beans house at 1S3 Bradley street last even ing. The child's presence there first when they heard 1t crying plaintively. The child was brought into the house and word was immediately sent to the Grand avenue precinct. The patrol wagon took the child to the Associated Charities building, where it was handed to Mrs. Carpenter, the matron.
 When found the child was wrapped in a heavy shawl When this was remov- ed it was seen that the little one was dressed in a neat cloak of material not costly nor yet cheap, but quite substan- tial. The dress was of good white ma terial and trimmed with lace. Its bon net was of silk and quite pretty.
 The little one is strong looking, but seems to have been poorly nourished. She appeared almost uavenous when food was given her by Matron Carpen- ter.
 Agent Preston searched through the records and notes which he has made and suspected that the child belonged to a young woman whose husband mar ried her to escape prosecution. While the grandfather of the child lived it and the mother were we'll cared for. The grandfather died a short time ago and since that time the husband has prac- tically deserted his wife and child, neg lecting almost utterly to support them. The police began an investigation.

which he permitted to burn, supposing that by a further turn of the wrench he could force the new valve upon the pipe leading from the old valve so firm ly as to stop the leak.
 I am of the opinion that i'm order to properly put such a heavy piece of metal as the new valve is made of upon the end of the pipe leading from the old valve 1t would require one person to use a. wrench to force the new valve on to the end of the pipe, and an- other person with a counter wrench upon the coupling between the two valves to keep the pipe steady and prevent it from being broken off, or to prevent any injury to the old valve. am of the opinion that instead of do- ing this, and by reason of his rot us- ing the counter-wrench, he broke or ruptured the pipe, and the valve being opened to the cylinder the gas escaped with great force, ignitlng of course at once from the flame, and producing the explosion which resulted in, his death.
 I find that Joseph c. Hauser's death was caused by. conclusion, the result of an explosion; said explosion occur ring as herein detailed.
 I am of the opinion that when ex- periments are being made with any substance whether of this or ordinary gas gaso.ene, or other compound, which may be liable ito explode, such experi- ments should be conducted in a room or building separate and apart from where other people are situated and not where other buildings may be in danger from the results of an explosion or from fire, caused by such explosion.
 I am of the opinion also that an or dinance should be passed which will prevent the locating or bringing into the city of any such substance or conn pound which may explode, without noti- flying the fire marshal and chief of the fire department of the location or wheSe- abouts of suoh substance or compound.
 I also find that said death was not caused by Nhe criminal act omission, or carelessness of any other person or per- sons

 TO PROTECT THE SOUND.
Batteries May be Placed Near New London
 Without Delay.


 Washington, Jan. 3O.-Representative Mccormick of New York has been giv- ing special attention to the question of Qualifications at the east end of Long Island. In connection with the Connec- ticut senators, who are interested in the protection of New London and other Connecticut harbors he had interviews with the chief of engineers and others as to their plans of protecting by prop CT batteries the various islands at the east end of the sound.
 The result of these consultations is that he is convinced that if congress makes an adequate appropriation the work Of placing the batteries will be begun without delay, and if the work is carried on to the extent of the recom- mendation of the engineer the Connec- ticut coast, eastern end of Long Island, and all the approaches to the sound, will be put in condition of defences which will be sufficient to prevent the approach of any hostile fleet, however powerful.
