 Fine Racing Yesterday on Center Street Track-New Haven Horse Able Wins First Money-Death of Mrs. Nancy M. Tyler-New London vs. wallingford This Afternoon.

The horses com peting were: Able, entered and driven by James Mcfarland of Branford, and owned by Dennis Flynn of New Haven; Leo Wilkes, J. H. Beach, Branford, and Little Fred, E. N. Robinson, Durham. As each of the horses had won two heats it was naturally supposed that but one heat would have to be trotted, but in the first heat Able and Little Fred came in neck and neck, and the judges declared 1t dead heat. Able was an easy winner in the next heat. The time of the first heat was 2:31A. and the second and deciding heat was 2:361a. Able wins first money, Little Fred second, Leo Wilkes third, and Pinkwood fourth. MT. Flynn, the New Haven man, owner of Able, was flooded with congratula tions yesterday over the excellent work of his trotter. | The polls will open at o'clock this afternoon and close at p. m. for vot- ing on the appropriation of $500 for grading Ward street and $1,OO0 for gen eral repairs on the borough highways Owing to the damage done by the freshets the action as above becomes necessary as the amount appropriated at the annual meeting was not suffi- cient for the emergency.

 Yesterdays New London Day says: William Steinert of New Haven, an intimate friend of the Strouse-Adler baseball team, was In this city on business to-day. MT. Steinert seemed to think that there was a possibility of the Athletics challenge to play three games for a purse of $500 being &C., cepted and it IS earnestly hoped that his belief may come true and that the dispute may be settled by something more decisive than chin music.'
 The Second Company of the Cover nor's Foot Guard met last evening at the armory. In view of the fact that they are to have a field day probably at Meriden in a short time they decided to give up their preparations for an outing.

A LIVELY SCENE.
Speaker Reed Called to Deal With
Mr.. johnson.
The Latter Persisted In Talking While
the House Was in Committee.

Washington, March 29.-When the
House met at o'clock today the oppo-
sition to the tariff bill resumed its policy
of delaying and embarrassing the majority
The leaders on both sides were in their
places, but there were not over 90 MEM
bers on the floor. The Democrats, after
hurried consultation, decided that the ma
jority must assume the responsibility for
all proceedings and furnish dhorum "A
letter had been sent TO all the majority
members by the chairman of the Reput-
lican caucus Mr. Grosyenor, impressing
upon them the importance of being 10
ent but it had evidently failed to have
its desired effect. In pursuance of the
plan decided upon, Mr.. Richardson
(Dem., Tenn. }, objected TO the approval
of the journal in the absence of quorum.
The House was at standstill. No mo-
tion being forthcoming from the majority
side, Mr.. Richardson moved recess for
one hour.
1.-The motion Is not in order in absence
Of quorum, said the speaker. 1.-The
chair suggests that motion to adjourn
would be in order.
"In accordance wi h the suggestion of
the chair, ;" said Mr.. Richardson, smil-
ing, as he seized on the words of the
speaker Il move an adjournment.
But the chair did not suggest n motion
to adjourn, returned the speaker very
promptly. "He simply suggested a motion
that would be in order Does the gentle
man from Tennessee desire to make that
motionY he inquired blandly. This
placed the Tennessee man on the defensive
and he replied that he had no desire TO
take charge. Let the other side work out
its own puzzle, said he.
There is no puzzle" remarked the
speaker, Except the Incidence of mem
bcrs ~
I'VE have as many present on this side
as the majority has" observed Mr. Rich
ardson. AT this point Mr. Dingley came
forward and moved the approval OF the
journal.
There was IA sensational scene when
Mr. Johnson of Indiana, protested against
taking the time of the house in irrele-
want discussion. He was ordered to take
his seat and refused but finally did so as
the chairman of the committee of the
whole, Mr.. Sherman, was about TO sum-
mon the speaker A second time he rose
and the speaker was actually called in TO
subdue MIR. johnson.

THEIR TRIBUTE.

society, so that in many homes nc has been
looked for as one would watch FOR the
coming of one whose very presence had in
it healing remedies. His social nature was
large and he was warmly attached 10
friends and gricved much when death
called any of them hence, and attended
their funerals as n part OF his religion.
But he did not SO mourn as TO make ot
life gloomy thing, ,cheerfulness belonged
to him, and when friends passed on he
took up again the duties of life and
moved on rs before time. And my Thought
Is, my friends, that could he speak TO
US from his appropriate mansion in the
Fathers Kingdom above, his words would
be for us not TO mourn for him, but the
rather to honor his memory in doing those
kindly services in which he took SO great
a delight while in this earth life. Happy,
my friends, Is the man to whom old age
comes as gently (if it really came at all J
as il did to our brother. He kept himself
in touch with all the uplifting forces IN
society even TO his last days and one
would have thought at times as If a score
or more of years here was his expectation.
His was a life well rounded with noble
deeds, and during the past few years as
have been with him on the street many a
one has taken him by the hand to eX-
press gratitude for the influence he exerted
upon them in the formative period of their
lives.
Happy, yea, thrice happy, was our
brother, who could sit down in the twilight
of old age and send his memory back
over the years that were gone, and await
with the same louing confidence the
returns as does the good merchantman
who knows whereof his ship is built an d
feels doubly sure from the rich experiences
of the past that whatever storms it may
have TO encounter il will outride them all
and sooner or later anchor in its own
chosen haven, heavily laden with rich
treasures from afar.
Burial was private and the remains
were inferred at the North Burial Ground.

ADULTERY CHARGED.
Ground on Which Pcreira Seeks Dl-
vorce From His Wife.

Considerable time was taken up in the
Appellate Court this afternoon in the
hearing of the divorce suit brought by
Jose Da Rosa Pcreira VS. Mary Luza
Pcreira A number of witnesses Were ex-
amined and the deposition of one witness
was preceded by remark from coun-
sci for the petitioner that the witness
could not be induced to come into the
state The deposition showed the one
making it might have boon named rs CO.
respondent and subject to indictment.
One of the judges remarked il was not
strange the witness had no desire to come
to this state. The grounds for divorce
were adultery and desertion. The re-
spondent denied the truth of the tcsti-
mony produced and had severe things TO
saw about her husband. Several witnesses
testified that the husband had lived with
another woman as his wife.
When few witnesses had testified in
behalf of Mrs. Pcreira the court said lit
was satisfied that the husband was no
entitled TO divorce and dismissed the
case.
T.W. Robinson represented the petitioner
and Edward DE " O'Connor was counsel
for the respondent

TEE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.
The cotton market opened frmer than the
Liverpool opening seemed to Justify, but this
was due TO the reports from the river district.
Business was small, however, and the tone
was easy. Price, Mccormick & Co. wired
Weeden, Kendall a. Co. that the Liverpool adj
vices were disappointing. The situation in
the East appeared to have undergone an ur
favorable change and the fear of warlike
complications has resulted in a sharp decline
in all the markets. This has exerted de-
pressing effect upon cotton and futures
showed decline OF 115-6i to 2-6i. Spots were
l-32 lower with sales of 5000 bales, but outside
Of this factor the situation continues favor
able.
The wheat market opened steady, hut trade
was very light. The market is in a strong
position and on any good buying it would un-
doubtedly advance easily. The New York
houses had foreign buying orders at the open
ing, but the larger Northwestern receipts i'll
clined the traders 10 be more bearish.
In Liverpool this morning wheat was steady
and fractionally higher and corn was steady.
In London off coast wheat was quiet and
steady; passage wheat was unchanged. The
English country markets were quiet and
steady.
The visible supply today was: Wheat, de-
crease, /, 4O7, 900 bushels; corn, decrease 925,
OOl: oats, decrease, 1000 bushels.
Paine, webber g. Co. today say: 1.-The
leading foreign trade authorities scoff at the
theo,y of corn substitution for wheat in ex-
PLANTATION of the reduced flour demand and
comparatively heavy English stocks. Statis-
ticians, with the highest estimate of the Eng
lish crop 90, 100000 bushels, demonstrate that
wheat in farmers hands March is only p,

TAUGHT M'KINLEY.
Rev. Mr.. Morrison Tells of the
President as Pupil.
An Interesting Address Made Before
Methodist Ministers.

Rev. William V. Morrison was the
principal speaker at this forcnoon's meet
ing of the Methodist ministers, and his
theme was the Inauguration of President
Mckinley"
When DIR. Morrison was student at
Alleghany College i'm Ohio he paid his
way by teaching district schools and one
of these was located mt Niles. Here Will
liam Mckinley was his pupil and after
the manner of school teachers of those
days he boarded with different families of
the district In this way much of his
time was spent in the home of the boy
who was to be PRESIDENT and his remin-
iscences at today's meeting were most in
DIR. Morrison went to Washington to
attend the Inauguration services and the
old school teacher was not forgotten by
the country's chief magistrate. He was
a welcome guest at the Ebbtt House and
received all the honors accorded the per-
sonal friends of the Mckinley family.
1t was "a most delightful experience for
the venerable preacher and today his CO.
workers in the ministry had the benefit
of well-told story of the week mt Wash
ington. One amusing incident was when
Dir Morrison described the splendors of
the Inauguration ball and referred TO the
gorgeous apparel of Columbia's fair
daughters in the dance This was too
much for the methodism of some of the
hearers and one minister interrupted by
asking the doctor If he was at the ball
himself
mo, l wasn't the speaker replied,
"but on that same night like good
Methodist, L attended prayer meeting at
the Metropolitan Church.
At this forenoon's session of Congrega-
tiona minister's Rev. T.. ID. Harp made
m address on unworked missionary fields
and Rev. T.. L. Root gave "A reading of
the first chapter Of book he is now
writing, Production of Wealth. Ii is
an answer TO kidd's Social evolution. J"
IL was voted that hereafter the annual
conferences will be held in the first week
of June instead of the last of May.
