stances to place their immense stock at
the disposal Of the retail clothing buy
ers of this city and vicinity at prices so
low as to be ordinarily ruinous.
Mr.. George N. Talbot, so long con-
nected with the firm, has Withdrawn
and as this change in the personnel of
Longley &, Co. was extremely sudden,
in order to comply with the terms Of
the dissolution OF partnership, it is nee
essary to turn large amount of goods

cided by c. E. Longely e Co. was to re-
duce the prices on their entire stock of
mems, boys and children's clothing to

HANNAH GRAY HOME BURNED.

Mrs. Mary Ransom and Several Others
Narrowly Escape Suffocation.
Henry Haviland discovered a fire in
the Hannah Gray home for aged wo-
men at No. 1853 Dixwell avenue al about
6 o'clock yesterday morning. He call
ed Policemen Hope and Frey, who were
near by, and they found small L.
room above stairs ablaze. An alarm
was sounded and engine No. respond
ed.
The officers burst into the room that
was ablaze and cropping through the
smoke found Mrs. Mary Ransom, aged
ninety, lying on bed enveloped in
flames. She was unconscious. A broken
lamp on the floor beside the bed told
the story of him the fire started. The
woman was carried out and later re-
moved to Springside. She may die.
The officers returned to the house and
below stairs they found Mrs. Anna
Hamilton, aged eighty-one; Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Bowman, aged eighty, and Fred
King, aged ten, Mrs. Hamilton's grand
son. The three were choked with the
smoke and unable to move. The wo-
men were carried out and the boy was
pitched out the window.
At this juncture the firemen arrived
and extinguished the flames, after the
l. had been destroyd.
The cause of the fire was the tipping
over or the explosion Of the lamp, which
had been placed beside Mrs. Ransom s
bed.
Mrs. Eliza A Wright until Monday
occupied room above stairs, the life
use of which she had. She is ward of
Superintendent Preston of the Organ
lied Charities, and receives pension of
$S6 a. quarter. Her condition became so
bad that on Monday Mr.. Preston had
her removed to Springside. Her goods
We're left in her room at the home, and
these were all burned.

Poli's Wonderland Theater,

Miss Florrie West has already be-
come immensely popular with the au-
diences at Polls Wonderland theater.
Her style of singing. which is charac-
teristically English, has caught the
fancy of her hearers; and while many
will not admit that she excels our ma
tive soubrettes, all acknowledge that
she Is in the best sense a clever artist.
Miss West has certainly equalled the
best of the English performers who
have appeared at the Wonderland and
she is ahead of most of them in draw
ing power. Felix and Cain have also
made a good impression with their ex-
hibition Of grotesque comedy and MINI
icry, and they press Miss West very
closely for the favor Of the audience,
Other bright entertainers on the bill
are Mr.. Garfield and Miss Carleton,
Burke and Andrews with their educat-
ed donkey, the Blou Comedy Trio, Bob
Emmett, the tiny .Lally brothers. and
the Willett and Thorne Comedy COM

HARVARD WORKING HARD.

Many Accessions to Her Football Squad
This Year and Some Good Ones.
Cambridge, Sept. 2S.-Harvards foot
ball squad fought it's first real battle Of
the fall yesterday. The three elevens
were pitted against each other, and for
two periods of some fifteen minutes
each, rushed and tumbled and clawed
over the coveted pigskin, greatly to the
delight of large number of old Har-
ward football men and others. At the
end of the second half the Varsity had
scored two touchdowns without great
efforts. Its work on the whole was
creditable The center hardly ever
failed to make gains through the OPP
posing line, and toward the end of the
second half, with what was the third
eleven, in place of the second, the
varsity punctured the line as If it We're
so much wet paper. Defensive work
was not so good. In scrimmage
James Knox, '9S, who was playing
quarterback on the second, turned and
sprained his ankle as he was falling to
the ground with the ball. The injury
will keep him out for two weeks.
There were some accessions of good
men to the squad. Mills '99, who was a
prominent last years tackle, was the
most important; he weighs 200 pounds
The others were Nickerson 1901, who
was star full back on the ST. Paul
school team: Farley $50, who captained
his class eleven last year; Hatch, quar-
ter-back on last years freshman team;
Burnett 1901, a 220-pounder. who played
on the Cambridge Manual Training
school team, and Bancroft Davis 1901,
who will try for end. The Varsity
eleven lined UP thus: Cabot, left end;
Swain, left tackle; Bouve, left guard;
Doucette, center; N. Shaw, right guard; ;
M. Donald, RICH tackle; Moulton, right
end; Cochrane, Hatch. quarter back;
Sullivan, left half back; Dibble, right
half back; Haughton (Brown), full
back
The lineup of the first eleven was
left tackle, when Swain played in place
Of Wheaton, who had to be away. Be-
hind the line Haughton and Brown al
ternated at full back for the two halves
Haughton's work was not quite up to
the mark, and Browns was better.
Hatch, last years freshman quarter
back, was tried at quarter Of the
line men Bouve and Donald played no.
ticeably well. Behind the line Sullivan
and Dibble both did good ground
gaining. Swain played for short time
on the second, and did very we'll, once
making long rush around right end

men for the center position, and it Is
through tackle and guard that 1t is
expected Yale will make her biggest
gains. The players who look most
promising for places in the lineup, pc
sides those mentioned, are Ingalls,,
Lord, Johnson, Bacon and Blaksley.
No carriages will be allowed on the
Yale athletic field on the day of the
Princeton football game. When the
supply of seats is exhausted the sale or
tickets will be stopped and no specta-
tors will have to stand. An endeavor is
being made to have the Chapel street
bridge built so that it may be safe for
trolley cars. If this is not successful
New Haven will become unpopular for
such games.
ART SCHOOL OPENING.
The Yale Art school will open for the
season of '97 and '9S on next Friday,
October l, when the various classes will
enter upon their work for the coming
winter. From present indications a
large attendance is expected, as an in
creased interest has been noticeable
since the founding of the William Writ
Winchester fellowship prize, which en-
ables the successful competitor to pass
two years abroad in advanced art
study. This prize was awarded for the
first time last June and the recipient,
Miss Mary Foote, sailed for Paris on
September 4 to continue her work in
foreign studios.

NO USE FOR THE CUP.
Major Hurley Can do as He Likes Now
Action of League Directions

Major Hurley Can do as He Likes Now
Action of League Directions.
Derby, Sept 2S.-The directors of the
Connecticut state league met in the Of
flee of Superintendent B. w. Porter in
this city this morning, all being pres
ent but the representative Of the Bris-
toll club.
The directors took up the Hurley cup
question, and decided that as the cup
had never been presented to the league
they were in no position to make the
rules governing it, as they had voted to
do at the last meeting, and they there
fore decided to do nothing in the mat
ter whatever.
1t was voted to rescind the former
action of the board accepting the cup.
The state league, therefore, has moth
ing to do with the cup or the cup games.
The directors state that when Man
ager Chapman of Meriden notified the
league of the offer of the cup there We're
no conditions attached but if they had
known the conditions which Major
Hurley demanded, and which it is
claimed that he and Chapman formu-
lated, the league would have had moth
ing to do with the matter.
