The proposed layout of the Pond Lily
extension of the New Haven Street
Railway company's tracks was not
acted upon last evening by the board
of selectmen as Town Agent Hugo was
absent from the meeting, being out OF
town. Selectman Baldwin reported to
the board that it was the opinion OF
Engineer Hill that the tracks should
be placed on the side Of the main street
bridge.
The matter was tabled until next

ed that Mr.. o. A. Norton, who has had
some difficulty with the town concern
ing benefits arising from the extension
of Willard street, Westville had agreed
to settle the matter amicably. Mr.. Nor

the Fourteenth and Fifteenth wards,
except in the Quinnipiac meadows,
where here is about 11S acres of land

sought for in the town records would
involve a considerable expenditure of
money. The engineers suggested that
the survey be postponed till haying

are non-residents, could give them an
accurate idea as to boundaries.
The engineers report that it will take

keenest attention by his vigorous
words, The diplomacy of Spain had
succeeded for two and one-half years
in binding American diplomacy in the
belief that was did not exist in Cuba.
But the world knew that war existed
there, high-handed, red-handed bloody
dual war. 1t Is war in which Spain
employs more troops than England
employed in the seeking to put down
the American revolution. And yet SEN
ators were met with statement that
recognition of war in Cuba would be
inlmical to Spain.
He deied that the recognition that an
existing fact could be construed as a
hostile act, but in any event the fact
should be recognized and the great in
1luence of the United States thrown to-
ward the cause of civilized and Christ
ian usage. 1t might subject some
American vessels to search but this
would be small matter compared with
the results achieved. 1t might give
Spain right to blockade Cuba, but in
that Spain would suffer more than the
United States.
1T is said this means war;" contin-
ued Mr.. Daniel. 81 deny it. If Spain
should declare war against us because
we recognized the belligerency of her
former subjects, who had carried on @
war for two and one half years, she
would have an unjust cause of COM
plaint of war against us and we will
have just cause Of complain and war
against her l do not wish to see the
American people involved in war. I look
upon war as one of the greatest calam-
ities.'
At the close of Mr.. Daniels speech,
Mr.. Mason Of Illinois, secured the floor
and will speak tomorrow. He yielded
at 5 o'clock for an executive session
and at $50 the senate adjourned

Then Burned the Body With Chemicals.

Chicago, May f.-Adolph Luetgert,
well known sausage manufacturer, was
arrested this afternoon on the charge
of having murdered his wife. He made

of her husbands failure.
The place where the woman's body
was found was the factory at Diversy
and Hermitage avenues near the tracks
of the Northern railroad. 1t is stated
by persons connected with the case that
the dead body was placed in a vat and
burned by the use of chemicals. 1t is
said that several bones are all that
have been found, and that these were
ming at the Republican league. Those
Two finger rings belonging to the dead
woman were also found in the vat.

RUN ON A BANK.
Depositors Scared Because Usual Dividend
Was Not Paid.

Depositors Scared Because Usual Dividend
Was Not Paid.
South Framinghanl Mass, May H.
A run on the Framinghan Savings
bank, which caused some uneasiness
among business men, was precipitated
here to-day by the action Of about two
dozen depositors, mostly women, who
presented themselves at the bank and
demanded the amounts due them.
All such calls were promptly paid
1t appears that the fact Of the May
dividend, semi-annual one, which has
recently been declared, being one Of
only 11a per cent. instead of 8 per cent,
caused some uneasiness.
Up to the closing hour of the bank, 2
o'clock, $4,000 had been paid over the
counter to the depositors. The trustees
state that the bank is in very good con-
dition, and no serious trouble is expect
ed as the result of the excitement Of
the day.

Senator Dailinger's Charge Against the
Massachusetts, Benefit Life Association.
Boston, May 17.-The attack of Sena-
tor Dallinger of Cambridge upon the
ex-off1cials of the Massachusetts Bene-
fit Life association in the senate last
week, which called forth severe edito-
rial criticism, was renewed and reiter-
ated with emphasis to-day, when, ris-
ing to a question Of personal privilege
in the senate, Mr.. Dallinger said:
'I simply wish to state that I merely
laid before the senate certain facts
from the experience of friends of mine,
and also copies of certain documents
signed by the former directors of the
Massachusetts Benefit Life association,
the originals OF which are in the pos
session of Hon. R. A. Simonds.
with these facts, and with this doc
umentary evidence as a basis, drew
the only logical conclusion that an in
telligent man can draw, viz.
'1-That the Massachusetts Benefit
Life association from 1881 to 1897 was a
gigantic swlndle, by which a few men
obtained for themselves large sums of
money at the expense of thousands and
thousands Of unfortunate people, who
were induced to invest their savings in
this company.

4 GALLANT STAND AZ DOMOKOS BUT
FORCED TO GIVE WAY.

Most Important Battle of the war--Turks
Won by Virtue of Heavier Battalions-
Thousands Were Slain in the Struggle
Moslems Thrice Repulsed by Left Wing
but Right Wing Was Broken.
London, May 1S.-The Daily Chron-
icle's correspondent at Athens says the
following is the official accoutn of the
fighting yesterday:
"Over $4,000 Turks simultaneously
and continuously attacked our whole
line with the greatest ferceness. Our
artillery and infantry did splendid
work. Twice all the regiments of the
enemy wavered and fled, thought their
attack was soon renewed with fresh
forces, which, in turn, we were able to
hurl back.
The stubborn resistance and splen-
did vigor of our troops finally compel
led the enemy to give way altogether.
All the attacks on our left were SINH
larly repulsed.
"On our right we did not fare so well.
The first attack of the enemy was re-
pulsed; but they massed in immense
force for the next attack. Our first
line wavered and was broken, and the
wing would have been turned but for
the timely arrival of the reserves.
"Still the enemy had gained ground
which it was then impossible to regain,
and we, therefore, fell back on Bousi.
sHrThe Turks had tx 000 trOons with
10000 reserves. Our force was only
$4,000. We have lost heavily, but the
enemy must have lost thousands"
