Drove Over the Rails.

The workmen who are placing in po-
sition the network of curved rails at
the corner Of Church and Chapel streets
We're surprised last evening about 10.30
o'clock to see two men approaching the
spot where they were working driving
rapidly and with no apparent intention
of halting.
The team was being driven at a
brisk trot and before anything could
be done to prevent it horse, driver ana
carriage We're all landed in a heap right
in the midst of the gang of laborers.
There was no further going for a while
and the horse had to be unhitched from
the buggy as it was impossible for
him to be driven out Of the confusion
OF rails that are now to be seen at
the corner Of Church and Chapel
streets. The driver got into his car
riage and drove away.

DELAYING the Work.

Washington, April 27.-Misinforma-
ton as to the Venezuelan commission
multiplies on both sides of the Allan
tic. The latest developed idea that the
work of the Venezuelan commission is
being delayed through the influence OF
the administration in order that it may
carry out some underlined plan of set
tling the boundary dispute by diplo-
matte negotiations thus avoiding any
sharply drawn decisions on the con-
troversy such as the commission was
instructed to make appears to be as
wholly unsubstantiated as many pre-
Vi0us rumors on the same subject.

TRIED TO RELEASE PRISONERS.
The Mob at Palermo Attempted to Open
the Prison.

1.-THE Mob at Palermo Attempted to Open
n the Prison.
Palermo, April 27.-There was a riot
to-day at Paterno, a city ten miles
northwest of Catania. The populace,
which consists chiefly of the lower
classes, became incensed against the
\ Imposition of the communal bodies and
Smade a demonstration that at one time
Threatened to become very serious. The
mob attacked the house of the syndic
\ or mayor and smashed the windows,
4 and destroyed a number of street
slamps. They then set fire to the office
aof the octroi, where the tax on provis-
4ions, etc, entering the city is collected,
land to number of sentry boxes,
i The gendarmes were powerless to
3quell the disturbance. The military
1were called out, but the rioters stoned
Ethe troopers, severely wounding an Off
Ecer and three men. An attempt was
Emade to open the prison and release
1.-THE convicts, but this was prevented
Eby the troops.
The situation was becoming extreme
Ely critical when the prefect of Catania
karrived on the scene. He finally, after
Hseveral fruitless attempts, got the
Ecrowd to listen to him. He promised
Ethat some of the more burdensome Of
Hthe grievances Of the people would be
#redressed, and by his conciliatory atti-
Etude ultimately calrned the passions of
1.-THE mob, which then dispersed.

LAST CHAMBER CONCERT
Il FINE MUSICAL TREAT ASSURED
THE NEW HAVEN PUBLIC.

To be Given in College Street Hall This
Evening-A Great Opportunity for Music
Lovers-A Varied Program to be Pre-
sented,
The last of this seasons series of
chamber concerts to be given in the
College street music hall, formerly the
College street church, will be the most
attractive and varied concert of the
series, the chief feature being the play
ing of a suite by Mr.. Kneisel and Ar
thur Whiting. This will be musical
opportunity which New Haven people
can hardly afford to miss. The con-
certs have previously been held in
North Sheffield hall, but it has been
decided to hold this last one of the
series in the music hall, which will
admit of larger number of tickets
being sold, as the hall is larger. 1t is
desirable to fill the hall if possible and
If this is successful it is probable that
the future chamber concerts will be
held in the music hall. While these
concerts are largely attended by stu
dents they are not distinctively coll
lege affairs, but have been instituted
to give the music loving and cultured
people of New Haven opportunity to
hear the best Of musical talent A
complete program of the concert ap
peared in the Courier yesterday morn
ing. Single tickets of admission can be
obtained at the door this evening for
seVentY-fiVe cents.

why Not Purchase at Home 2

Considerable comment is being made
concerning the recent purchase of po-
lice ambulance by the officials of this
city, the comment being occasioned by
the fact that the ambulance was pur-
chased outside of the city, when there
was opportunity to purchase the same
sort of a vehicle, equally good, If not
better, for less money, from New Ha-
ven manufacturers.
A prominent local carriage manufac-
turer said yesterday that as to the
quality of work and price, New Haven
dealers could have filled the bill The
same gentleman said that while the
price paid for the ambulance was 500
or $3.50, he would have guaranteed to
have made it for $500.
