AGAINST ooNYIor-oUr STONE.


Boston, April "a bill was introduc-
ed into the legislature to-day to pre-
vent the bringing into this state of any
stone cut outside of it, and the debate
on it brought out the fact that the
union stone cutters of this city are agi-
tating strongly against the bringing of
stone cut by convicts, which, they as
sert, is being done to not small eX-
tent. An amendment was therefore
tackled to the bill to prevent the bring
ing in of stone cut by convicts, but this,
it was asserted, was more important
than the scope of the original bill, and
it was thrown out.
1t is stated by the stone cutters that
there is no doubt but that stone is be-
ing brought into this city which has
been cut in the prison yards of the
west, and the case which is cited Is that
of the stone used on the Brazer build
Ing, which, 1t is asserted, is cut in the
Joliet prison yard. 1t is asserted that
E. r. Brainerd of Chicago, the con-
tractor who has the stone-cutting con-
tract, has a good deal of his work done
at Joliet, and also that a good deal of
cut stone has been shipped from that
institution lately to Boston.

STOLE An OPIUM PIPE.
Springfield Newsboy Captured in Thi
CIty,

Springfield Newsboy Captured in This
City.
Louis Cohn, newsboy, was arrested
yesterday afternoon at the Union depot
upon the arrival of the train from
Springfield, Mass. The arrest was
made in consequence of telegram re-
ceived from the police department of
Springfield, giving the information that
Cohn had stolen an opium pipe valued
at $40 and lot of opium. The message
stated that the young man was en- route
to New Haven and that the stolen prop
erty was in a canvas dress suit case,
which Cohn had checked and for which
he held check No. 926.
Detective Sergeant Poronto, who
had been detailed to the case, arrested
Cohn upon his arrival in this city. Last
evening Detective GUILTY of Springfield
came to New Haven and took Cohn
back to Springfield on the 1905 train.
The prisoner did not demand that he be
made the subject of requisition.
The pipe, which Cohn is alleged to
have stolen, was the property of C. NJ.
Folsom, now of Springfield, but who
is said to be from this city and was
formerly employed In coal office here.
Cohn and Folsom boarded in the same
house. The prisoner said that the other
fellows had informed on him, but when
he got back to Springfield he would tell
a story that would make his associates
quake.
Cohn was employed on the trains
between Springfield and Boston as a
newsboy. He is said to have a brother
living on Cedar street, this city.
A search of the directories since 1890
does not disclose the name of C. NJ.
Folsom.

BosToN,s NEW UNION STATION.
Norcross Brothers Secure the Contract for
Its Erection.

Boston, April 9.-Norcross Brothers
have secured the contract for the erec-
tion of the new Southern Union station
in Boston, and matter that has been
keeping many contractors in doubt for
two weeks or more has been settled.
The contract amounts to little less
than S2,000,000, and the work is to be
started next week. The station is to be
constructed of Stony Creek granite.
The contract will give employment to a
small army of men, for it is one of the
conditions that the work is to be push
ed with all possible expedition.
The other bidders were Charles e.
Clark of Boston. Woodbury. & Leighton
of Boston, Horton & Hemenway of
Providence and j. w. Bishop & Co. Of
Worcester. There are three great con-
tracts for the erection of the station
One of these is for the excavation, foun-
dations and waterproofing Of the head
house, the second is for the superstruc-
ture Of the head house, and the third
is for the great steel train shed. 1t is
the first two of these contracts which
have just been let. The contract for
the train shed was let to the Pennsyl-
vania Steel company some months ago,
and that company has already made
several deliveries Of steel.

HnAR1NG ON r1yE-cnNr FARES.
East Haven Residents Case Now in the
Hands of the COMMITTEES.

East Haven Kes1dentS' case NOW III the
Hands of the COMMITTEES.
The representatives of the New Ha-
ven Street Railway company were CIV
en- a hearing by the committee on rail-
roads yesterday afternoon at the capi-
tol in opposition to the petition of the
residents of East Haven for five-cent
fare from East Haven Center to the
New Haven green.
Superintendent Dodge was the first
witness called. He was positive that
to make the East Haven branch pay
expenses on a five-cent basis there
would have to be three times as much
traffic as there is at the present time.
There was considerable sentiment in
East Haven in opposition to the reduc-
ton of fare, based on the opinion, the
witness supposed, that the road was
doing all it could afford to do. The
five-cent fare, Mr.. Dodge said, would
be less than the commuters paid the
Consolidated road from East Haven to
New Haven. He did not think there
was anything to draw visitors to East
Haven at the present time, since the
Water company had bought Lake Sal
tonstall and had prohibited picnics to
be held there.
Senator Tuttle asked if it was not a
fact that his company sold tickets to
the residents of Wooster Terrace at a
lower rate than it did to other residents
of East Haven.
Witness did not know that this was
the case.
Mr. Morehouse explained that these
tickets were purchased by the Wooster
Park Terrace Land company.
President Kelsey of the Winchester
Avenue Street Railway company did
not think the same conditions of growth
existed in East Haven as were appar-
ent- In West Haven when his road re-
duced the fare to five cents. There was
another reason why the fare to West
Haven should have been reduced at the
time 1t was. There was a demand to
get to Savin Rock, which was quite a
resort at that time, at less cost than
had been required.
Senator Tuttle called several witness
es in rebuttal of the testimony of Pres
ident Corey given at the last hearing
Mr. Corey had stated that it was the
rumor of the town that this question
had been an issue in the last political
campaign.
A statement of the history of the
East Haven branch Of the New Haven
Street Railway company was submit
ted by Superintendent Dodge.
The committee informed the counsel
in the case that each side would be al
lowed ten minutes in which to present
arguments. Attorney S. W. Morehouse
appeared for the railway company and
Senator Tuttle for the petitioners.

GULF CYCLONE IN GEORGIA.
Several Lives Lost and Considerable Prop
erty Destroyed.

Atlanta, Ca, April 9.-Telegrams
from Ozark, Ala, and Valdosta, Ca,
crossing the Inflated town Of Arlington,
Ca, show that this section was visited
to-day by another gulf cyclone, which
assembled the Apalachicola valley and
swept northward with terrific force to
the confluence of the Chattahochie and
Flint rivers. Toward Ozark timbers
were uprooted and houses blown to
pieces. Several lives were lost, among
them Mrs. Powers, who was caught
beneath the falling timbers of her house
and crushed. Her husband was badly
hurt. The rest of the family were res
cued, among them baby three weeks
old. whom the mother protected at the
cost of her life.
The second section of the cyclone was
DETECTED upon the Flint valley breaking
across south Georgia, passing through
Arlington, where a few weeks ago nine
children were killed in the ruins of a
school house. At Valdosta the storm
became intense in its fury.

Bronze Regicide Tablet on West Rock
Disfigured.

The memorial tablet placed at Judges
Cave last autumn in memory of the
egicides-Whalley and Goffe-has been
the object of vandalism. Park Com
missioner Blake while making an in
vestigating tour of West Rock yester-
day for the purpose of bringing to the
attention of the board at it's in the
evening whatever improvements might
suggest themselves made the discovery,
and steps are now being made to pun
lsh the perpetrators. Commissioner
Blake found that more than half a
dozen names had been cut into the
tablet and that the nuts on the screw
rivets, which secure it in position, had
been taken off. Mr.. Blake took a copy
of the names and reported the vandal-
ism to the board last evening.
Mayor Farnsworth will refer the mat
ter to the police this morning.
Recently numerous complaints have
reached the park commissioners that
dogs were allowed to roam at will in
West Rock park and gave chase to the
squirrels Orders have been given to
'AAC Polh anu lllt SillpIOy SS "
shoot any dog running at large within
the limits of the park. The park rules
are that no dog be allowed in the park
unless held by leash
The court of common council will be
requested to refer the matter of open
ing Livington street, from Gamer
street to Cold Spring road, to the court
OF compensation for a reopenng of the
matter.
The extension would intersect the
Cold Spring road at the park drive and
would be of great convenience to those
who drive to East Rock. The layout of
the streets was made in 1889 and was
referred to the board of compensation
to assess benefits and damages. There
was some hitch in the case at that time
and it has been hanging ever since.
Some time ago the park commission
ers addressed a communication to the
corporation counsel, who advised that
the matter be reopened by an order
from the court Of common council to
the board of compensation,
The special town meeting for the pur-
pose of voting upon the question of di-
verting the funds arising from the sale
of the old town farm to the use of the
park commissioners will be held at an
early date. A petition for the same is
being circulated.

SEVENTEEN ARE MISSING.
Complet 9 List of the Dead at Knoxville
MAY Never be Known.

May Never be Known.
Knoxville, April 9.-Of the fifty-two
guests who were sleeping in the Hotel
Knoxville yesterday morning when the
fire broke out only thirtyfive have been
accounted for. The hotel register was
destroyed, and it will perhaps never be
known how many lives were lost. Tel
egrams have been pouring in all day
from different cities inquiring about
people supposed to have been in Knox
vile.
The work of searching for the re-
mains in the ruins was begun this af-
ternoon, and the developments indicate
that the list of dead will be much lar
ger than was at first thought. Charred
remains were found in different locali-
ties of the ruins. Where one of these
bodies is supposed to have been cre-
mated were found number of pocket
knives, razors, etc, which leads to the
belief that Weeks, the cutlery drum
mer for the Rochester house, had at
tempted to carry out his sample case.
The name of the fire victim from
Springfield, Mass, was E. A. Williams,
not S. E. Williams, as given yesterday
He was sixty-three years old, and was
travelling for his health.
A large force of men is at work to-
night clearing away the debris. An al
most correct estimate of the losses and
insurance has been secured. 1t is as
follows:
Total loss, $1,611, 900; total insurance,
$614, ,209.
Many of the firms burned out have
secured temporary quarters.

Elassona, Macedonia, April 9, 4 p.
ma dispatch received at the Turkish
headquarters here from Grevena says
that the fighting between the Greeks
and the Turks continues. The Turks
following out the instructions OF Edhem
Pasha, have surrounded the Greek ir-
regulars and a gr alter part Of the
Turkish division stationed at Grevena,
under Haiku Pasha, is now advancing.
1t is impossible to distinguish wheth-
er the invaders are supported by any
substantial portion of the Greek army,
as the Greeks have taken up a position
in the middle of a forest. But, the cor
respondent of the Associated Press is
informed, the moment the Turkish
officers ascertain the presence OF the
uniforms of the Greek regulars, in the
ranks of the agresssors, Edhem Pasha
will order the advance of the entire
Turkish army.
The situation is most serious. In the
meantime Edhem Pasha. remains at the
general headquarters awaiting news.
He has already notified his generals Of
divisions to hold themselves in readiness
for instant action and the reserves have
already left the encampment here in Or
der to move closed to the first line of
defence.
