YALE MEN PRACTICING.
They Will Be Ready for a Race If One Is
Arranged.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 24.-The
boating men at Yale are in a ~quandary at
present The varsity crew Is rowing daily
in the gymnasium tank just as il they
were to meet Harvard on the Thames as
usual next June. The hope of an inter-
national boating event this year has
been abandoned and Yale men feel that
their aquatic outlook for 1896 is anything
but encouraging. Yale is well fixed for
baseball, having a good schedule with
Princeton; in the matter of track athlet-
les, there are the inter colleg late games
and the University OF California contest.
Bob Cock, Yale's boating oracle, has not
yet appeared in New Haven.
Yale University has once more settled
down to its normal condition. Nearly
all OF the promenade guests nave left the
city and studies have been resumed as
usual. 1t Is expected that the '96 pro-
menade committee will have a hand
some surplus to dispose OF.

ONE BOILER In.
improvements at Hope Pumping Sta
ton Progressing Rapidly.


Yesterday one VI the two new boilers
for the Hope pumping station arrived
and the other is expected shortly.
These boilers will be set as soon as pos
sible and connected with the Nagle en-
CINE. When this connection is made the
Corliss engine will be dismantled and
taken away and the new Holly machine
installed In its place.
The saving Of fuel will be over $1,000 a
year while that for labor will be even
greater. The Holly engine will pump
into the Fruit Hill reservoir in eight
hours or less the million and a half gal
Ions of water used in high service daily.
Perhaps 1t would be well to state that
only one million gallons is actually used,
the other half million gallons leaking
through the reservoir every twenty-four
hours. When asked this morning IL this
leak was going to be stopped Commits
sioner of Public Works Smith said it
would PROBABLY be cheaper to let things
rest as they are than 10 start on the plug
ging-up process again, as the only expense
caused by the leak was about ga day
for fuel.
The sewage pumping station on Earn
est street is about ready, and the four
boilers needed at that point will soon be
set up there. These, as we'll rs the two
at the Hope pumping station, will be of
the Babcock IL Wilcox make.

their use, and there are enough Of the
children eligible to make a respectable
class.
The diphtheria at the home is dimin-

under treatment now. Last summer there
were 20 or more and only one death,
showing that they are incipient for the
most part. In 1896, according to the re-
port, the children lost IL weeks schooling
altogether, because OF sickness. There
have been several cases OF sore throat,
which were thought TO be diphtheria but
the doctor took the cultures and the
board of health declared positively that
they were sore tbroats.
The home Ia provided with a finely
equipped hospital and all the cases are
isolated. 1t is an old property to be sure
and the expenditures of considerable
money would be required to put it in
first class order, but the state and city
health boards declare the sanitary condi-
tions to be o. X, SC It is not likely, as

REGARDED AS A SWINDLER.
But His Career Was Cut Short by Vigilance
of Detectives.

A year ago a slick looking chap came to the
city and represented himsel: as the agent of q
directory with a long name published in
New York. The agent was a glib talker, and
succeeded in finding a number of business
men who bought advertising space in the
directory. All of the work done by the agent
was with a lead pencil. except getting names
Of customers, which was invariably done in
ink. This blank would be sent on 10 head
quaters at Now York, at least that was the
story Of the agent.
A week or 10 days later the collector would
call with the bill. and the customer would
find that. instead of what he offered to give
81, the bill would call for $40. $50 or even
more. The bill. Of course, would he disputed.
The business mans signature was on the con-
tract. and he corld not deny IL. Many wero
threatened with law suits, and all sorts Of
trouble IL they did not settle. Some did, and
some did not, and those that did not were
never troubled.
Yesterday a young man giving his name as
Edward W. Deliver was taken into custody by
detective Reardon while in The office Of tho
L5ck-Bai Type Machine Company in the
Studley building. and escorted TO police head.
quarters, where he said that be represented
the Gilmore Trade and Commerce Directory
Of New York, the Office of which was at the
corner OF Fifth avenue and 2Oth street. Do
tective Parker learned that there was no such
concern in any part OF New York. There was
no charge on which Deliver could be held,
but MIR. Parker oonfscatcd his outfit, and told
him TO suspend operations in this city. So far
as is known. he has complied with Mr..
Parker's orders.
Delivers mode Of doing business was similar
to that Of the team that worked the same en-
terprise here a year ago.
