 Must Wait

Only a few who applied to be made were rejected and most of these were rejected for the time being, until their cases can be more thoroughly consider ed and it is probable that most of them will be made voters. The questions in these cases arose over naturalization papers and the term of residence in New Haven.
 Among those who applied to be made was Myron R. Scudder, principal of IIillhouse High school. He was asked the usual questions, and when it came to the one as to place of birth, he said that he was born in India. John P. Carney, the democratic registrar. was standing near by and as he heard this he came forward and said, What's that? In India? Then you can't be made here without naturaliza- tion papers, MT Scudder then ex plained that he was born in India of American parents and under the Amer ican flag He said that his father was a missionary and had lived in India all his life, but that his grandfather had lived in the United States and voted h. must wait until next Friday in order for his case to be investigated before he could be made a voter He did rot take kindly to the idea and said that he had voted in New York sta'e, ill Albany, Rome and Plattsburgh, and was an American citizen. Finally, however he left the room remarking Some things must come by freight"
 Another man who was not accepted was named Heinwald. He is a driver for Winchester's and he said that he voted in Hamden for Mckinley in 1S96 He was told that if he would prove to the satisfaction of the board that he was a naturalized citizen and voted in '96 in Hamden he would be made a voter here Another man refused was Cleveland Walker, a young colored man, who lives in the Ninth ward. He is just of age and his name was not placed upon the ito be made" list. The board will be in session again to-day from g a. m. to D. m.

NEw HAvEN HosP1rA1 DIRECTORS
Business Transacted at Quarterly Meet-
 ing Last Night.

The board of directors of the General Hospital society of Connecticut met last night in the law chambers of Bris- tol, Stoddard & Bristol, it being the reg
 ular quarterly meeting of the board. All the members were present. Dwight b. Bowers and Albert B. Hill were elected members of the board of visit ors of the New Haven hospital to fill the vacancies caused by the death of Caleb B. Bowers and by the declination of E. B. Bowditch, who was elected a member at the previous meeting. A voluminous and interesting report for the quarter was presented by the pru- dential committee and read by Rev. Charles Ray Palmer D. D., chairman of that committee. The report mem toned the work done to provide for the reception of the soldiers and in it the prompt response of New Haven citizens to the call for aid in caring for the sol diers. Among the facts stated in the report are the following: Whole num- Der of patients admitted during the quarter, 413, an increase of 120 over the number received during the correspond ing quarter last year; whole number treated, 502; deaths, 33; births, 1T, an increase of over the number of births the corresponding quarter of 1S91 larg- est number of patients on any one day, 271; cost of food per patient, $32.5, an increase of $1.7 over the daily cost last year; current receipts, Sl1, 6252S, an in- crease of $469.36; current expenses, ST. S83.74, an increase of $4,767.9S; deficit, $6,258.57, which is $4,30442 greater than the deficit for the corresponding period last year; contributed for soldiers, gen. eral $5,005 45, special $S5. The net in- crease of receipts for the quarter as compared with the net receipts for the corresponding quarter last year is $1,- 164.59. In preparing for the reception of the soldiers an expense for equip ment of the hospital was made neces- sary, and while this was for the quar- ter just ended, the committee thought it hardly fair to classify it as current expense because the equipments are permanent additions to the resources of the hospital and will be available for a long time to come. These expenditures were for mattresses cots and other ar ticles of furniture, all useful. These expenses amount to $1,4S7.79, exceeding the net increase of receipts by $323.26 The amount due to the hospital from the war department on account of the care of soldiers is s3,569, promised about November 1. The report Is signed by Dr. Charles Ray Palmer. c. E. Graves and William G. Daggett, the members of the committee.
 The directors before adjourning pass ed resolutions of thanks to the officials and employees of the hospital for their excellent services rendered in caring for the soldiers; to the directors of the Connecticut Training School for Nurses for nurses furnished to the Connecticut Sanitary and Relief association; to the Daughters of the American Revolution; | to the Colonial Danes, and to the many willing hands and generous benefac- | tions through the aid of which the hos pital was able to receive the soldiers.

SHOT HTS BROTHER-TN-LA
Serious Quarrel tn Terryville Over
 Dividing Fence

Bristol, Oct. 21.-As the outcome of a dispute over taking down a line fence there was a shooting affray in Terry vile shortly after o'clock this after noon which, however, will not prove fatal. The disputants are Edward Am buster and Alexander Mcclellan, broth ers-in-law, who are each between thirty and thirty-five years of age, and are quite prominent in Terryville from the positions the men hold in the factory of the Eagle Lock company. McClel- Ian for long time was desirous of taking down the fence separating his property from that of Armbuster, but the latter would not agree, and to-day made public the announcement that he would tear down the fence. A heated dispute arose between the brothers-in- law and Armbuster threatened to shoot Mcclellan if he persisted in his intentions. Mcclellan commenced to tear down the fence and Armbuster went into his home and procured a shotgun and discharged it at McClel- Ian. The shot lodged in his right side and Dr. Wellington, who was summon ed. removed forty-eigth grains of buck shot. The wounded man is weak from loss of blood, but apart from that the doctor does not apprehend anything se- rius. A writ has been issued for Arm- busters arrest.

FIFE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
NOT 4 NEW HAVEN GIRL.
Confusion In Regard to Two Women
 Who Died i'm New York.

It was ascertained from the local po- lice last night that Annie Mcclure, the girl who died in Hahnemann hospital, New York city, Wednesday, as the re- suit of a criminal operation, was resident of New Britain. It seems that the impression that she was New Haven girl, held by the New York po- lice, was due to misunderstanding and a confounding of two cases. It now appears that there was a New Haven girl who died about the same time in New York of criminal oper- ation and the police confused her with the Mcclure girl.
 Captain Cowles of the local detective bureau was asked about the matter last night, but was very uncommunicative. He said that he desired to commun- cate with New York police before giv-' ing out any information concerning the matter He said that it was prob- able that arrests would be made later. From another source it was learned that the woman was resident of Fair Haven and that man named Olsen was implicated. Superintendent Wrinn said that he did not remember the name of the woman, but he thought Olsen was the name of the man in the case. Another rumor was to the effect that the woman's name was Olsen. Captain Cowles said that she was an unmarried woman. He, however, evil dently knows but little about the case and is waiting until the New York de- tectives strike further clues or wire him information which may be given out to-day. The remains of the Me- Guire girl were taken to the home of her parents in New Britain late yes- terday afternoon. Her family refused to talk about the matter.

 StratfOrd.

The men had just completed planting some seed oysters in the Hous- atomic river at Stratford and had start ed for home, sailing along the west bank. There was gun in the boat, and in order to avoid it's being wet by the water in the bottom of the boat sherman was carrying it. They had proceeded to a point midway between Stratford dock and Straftord lighthouse when a rope attached to the mainsail caught in the trigger of the gun and it was discharged.

 satfOnal Evidence.

London, Oct. 21-The inquest over the remains of Harold Frederic, the newspaper correspondent and author, who died suddenly on Wednesday morning at Henley of heart disease, was adjourned to-day until Wednesday next.

M,KINLEY's TRIP.
President Holds Two Months Old
 civilian McKtnley.'

s" 1ll1am NIcfAEniey.''
 Cincinnati, Oct. 21.-One continuous ovation has marked the passage of President Mckinley to-day over the states of Indiana and Ohio. Defying the wind and rain of most disagree able October day, the citizens of these states have congregated in great num- bers at every station along the line and never have they been disappointed, for the president appeared at every point to speak few words to his con- stituents. Perhaps the most imposing demonstration of the day was at In- dianapolis, where the streets through which the president was driven to the state house were damned with cheering people Here, on the steps of the state capitol the president delivered one of the most striking and eloquent ad- dresses of his long western tour.
 At Connersville, Ind, a two-months- old baby was handed over the railing of the rear platform into the arms of Secretary Wilson, who presented to the president as his youngest namesake, William Mckinley. Another humorous incident was when Secretary Wilson was introduced after the president had finished his remarks at Connersville. Twice MT. Wilson commenced to speak and twice he was interrupted by the starting of the train. Then Secretary Gage shouted: ''The eloquence of the secretary of agriculture starts the wheels going" Amid great laughter. MT. Wilson then concluded his brief address and the train pulled out,

Perkins was unanimous ly carried by which the chairman was empowered to appoint a committee to have full charge of the memorial Va rious propositions have been made, the one most favorably received being that of the erection of a gate at the south entrance to the yard. President Eliot's address called forth the greatest ap- plause. He spoke in substance as fol- lows: Colonel Roosevelt's phrase Gave their young lives is a most con- mon one but how much does it mean? Those who died in the Cuban war have given what you are now hopefully look ing forward to. Human life has gone for them. What did they go for? Some times we get an adverse answer. What does this hall say to the men W ho have sat here? It says that they shall be re- membered."

BRITAIN WILL NOT BUDGE'
War Not Expected but Fashoda Must be
 Evacuated.

London, Oct. 21.-A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Portsmouth says that the British ad- miralty has issued orders that no dock yard repairs are to begin upon ships beloning to the reserve squadrons un- less they can be completed within for ty-eight hours. Despite this, however, government circles here are apparently satisfied that the Fashoda question will not lead to war. At the same time, the determination is reiterated not to budge from the position which the govern ment has taken up no matter what the outcome may be. It is said that the present government has determined not to brook delay and that in the event of France declining to evacuate Fashoda the Marchand party will be removed from that place, although it is not expected that it will be necessary to resort to such extreme.
