TITO OUNCES OF 1AUDANUM 4 DAY
Man Arrested Yesterday Says He Takes
 That Much.

Frank Hall, pin peddler, was ar rested yesterday afternoon by Patrol man Gallagher on the charge of being drunk. Hall had fallen and badly cut his head. The injury was dressed by Police Surgeon Kirby. When Hall was searched at the police station en empty twoounce bottle which had contained laudanum was found in his pocket. It was thought at first that he had at tempted to commit suicide, but on being questioned he said that he was in the habit of taking laudanum and some times used two ounces in one day. Dr. Kirby used a stomach pump on him, however, to guard against any success to his efforts if he had attempted to commit suicide. Halls story was evil dently true, as the pupils of his eyes were greatly contracted, the usual con- dition of the eyes of confirmed lauda- mum users.

DIRECTED TO REV. MR. MOORE.
Made Voter Despite Objection Based on
 Technicality.


 The board of selectmen last night finished their regular sessions this year for the purpose of making voters. During the sessions just closed only about 1,400 voters have been made out of total of about 2,SOO names on the list to be made. One of those who ap- peared before the board yesterday af- ternoon to be made a voter was Rev. Addison T. Moore, pastor of the First Baptist church. Rev. MT. Moore has resided for a year and more at the Nor mandie, No. 961 George street, but on the list to be made his residence was given as No. 265 Crown street. It seems that the deputy registrars of the First ward confused him with William k. Moore, who lives at 265 Crown street, and gave the latter's address as Rev. MT. Moore appeared before the board yesterday, Democratic Deputy Registrar Widman ot the First ward and Selectman Bretzfelder objected to ms being made on the ground of the lrregularity. Town Clerk Brethauer and Selectmen Buchanan, Hamilton, Croft and Aver, however, thought that he should not be rejected because of this error on the part of the registrars and he was admitted. The selectmen will meet again on November to make all voters whose qualifications mature between now and that time.

wANr THE CROSSINGS OPENED.
Ninth Ward Residents Claim Damage.
 for Closing Them

The committee on claims held a meet ing last night and gave hearings on several petitions for damages. In re- gard to the petition of John S. Griffin for damages for personal injuries caus- ed by tree falling on him the commit tee voted to recommend that $125 be all lowed. The committee also considered petitions from David E. Childs, Henry Donovan, Frank A. Warner, Benjamin F. Crockett E. H. Tucker, Samuel H.
 Armstrong and l.. w. Howard for dam ages caused to their property by the closing of the railroad crossings at Ivy and Hazel streets. The property own CTS and residents in that locality have protested strongly against the closing of the crossings mentioned, and about a year and half ago citizens were placed on guard nights for long time to pre- vent railroad employees from fencing in the crossings. Finally, however, the crossings were built and there has since been some litigation between the rail- road company and the city concerning the matter. It is understood that these petitions were presented to hurry the city in endeavoring to secure from the courts an order directing that the cross ings be opened. Consideration of the petitions were continued last night.

GEN WOOD ATMANz4NILL0.
Gen. Rios Trying to Prevent Dlsband-
 ment of Cuban Troops.


 Manzanillo, Oct. 2S.-The United States gunboat Hist arrived here this evening with General Wood. command CT of the military department of San tiago, accompanied by Lieutenant Mat thew Mama. On landing General Wood was visited by Colonel Petit and his adjutant and he was subsequently received by Colonel Pettit's entire reg iment, which, with the regimental band, executed a march past General Wood then visited the barracks, hospi- tals, palace, custom house and post offices. Colonel Petit reports that the Cuban general Rios is apparently mak- ing every effort to prevent the disband- ing of his troops. The Cuban com- mander wishes all the sugar men in the neghborhood to tell him how many men they can employ and will agree to supply all required on condition that only soldiers are employed. The plant CTS unanimously refuse to fall in with such an arrangement considering that it would be a trades union of the worst possible kind and would also tend to keep up the Cuban military organiza- tion, which, in the interests of the is land, the planters are particularly anx- ious to break up. In their opinion it would be better to have no commerce than to attempt it on such conditions.

Serious Stories About a Judge-A Sen.
 satfonaI Denial.

Cleveland, Oct. 2S-As a result of a story which has been circulated during, the past two or three days to the effect that Judge F. A. Dellenbaugh of the common pleas court had received half of an attorneys fee in a big divorce case tried before him, the judge to-day made a sensational statement from the bench. At the opening of court the judge said: q wish to beg the pardon of attorneys and litigants for being a little tardy this morning. I have been delayed by reason of certain stories lies-which have been circulated against me. Attorney Vernon Burke is the in- stigator of these stories and Judge Lamson of this court has been the con- duit through which they were given publicity. I will only say now that a bar meeting will determine which of these men, Burke or Lamson, Is the most malicious liar" Burke is state senator and well known attorney. He was the leader in the opposition to the election of M. A. Hanna for United States senator in the state leislature last winter. Judge Lamson is one of the common pleas judges. Judge Del lenbaugh is a very intimate friend of Senator Hanna.

Gardner Whips Kelly,

New York, Oct. 2S.-Oscar Gardner the Omaha Kid" knocked out Sammy Kelly of this city in the fourteenth round of what was to have been a twenty-five round fight at 116 pounds before the Lenox Athletic club to- night. Gardner proved himself to be Kellys' superior in hard hitting and bulldog tenacity. Kelly was undoubt- edly the better ring general but it was a case of a boxer against a fighter, and the fighter won. Gardner left himself wide open and drew Kelly's leads only to counter them with jabs, chop blows and right swings which played sad havoc with Kelly's usually natty ap- pearance. When Kelly was taken to his corner after being counted out he complained of his left side and said that he thought some of his ribs were broken in the third round.

ATTORNEY WILLIAMS RETURNS.
Lakeville Postmaster Who Recently
 Disappeared-Had Been HI.

Lakeville, Oct. 2S.-Postmaster and Attorney Hubert Williams, whose un- expected and unaccountable disappear ance two weeks ago occasioned more than a local sensation, reached his home here at 6 o'clock tonight in company with Constable Perry of Lakeville and Attorney Smith of Win sted, who went to Savannah, Ga, where it was learned MT. Williams had wan dered. The party expected to reach New York last night, but instead did not arrive there until this noon and then they took the next train for home. The few people that chanced to be at the station when the party arrived wer struck at the great change in MT Williams appearance, clearly indicat- ing that he had been severely ill since his departure It goes without saying that his home coming was a most glad some one to the members of the fam fly It is thought that among his home surroundings Mir. Williams will rapidly recuperate and before many days elapse will again be in condition to resume his muItitudinous business and professional duties.

mission of Navy Department.
 Washington, Oct. 2S-The Acme Wrecking company of San Francisco has made a request upon the navy de- partment for authority to raise the bat tleship Maine. The company has had experience in raising vessels on the Pa cific coast and representations have been made to the department as to it's ability to accomplish the task in Ha- vana harbor It proposes to blow the mud from under the wreck by means of streams of water and then to pass under chains and attach them to frame work connected with system of steel barrels. These barrels will also be placed in the wreck and utilized wher- ever they can be made available. The company simply asks authority to raise the Maine and bring her to this coun- try If the government wants the ship after she reaches the United States the company will want to be paid salvage money through condemnation proceed ings. It is probable that in case the government did not want the ship the company would exhibit her in different large seacoast cities of the United States. No money is demanded from the government by the company. It is stated at the department unofficially that in case the company is found reli- able the authority asked for will no doubt be given.

FOR fl W.ESTVTLLE PARK.
Plan Considered by Meeting of Thir
 teenth Ward Citizens.

A meeting of citizens of Westville was held last night in the office of the Greist Manufacturing company in Westville for the purpose of talking over pro posed plan for the establishment of a park at the north side of Blake street, in the Thirteenth ward. It is expected that before many years the Boulevard drive will be extended from it's present terminus near Elm City Driving park to West Rock park, and through the grounds where it is proposed to locate this new park. The idea is to set off for park the property at the rear of the Diamond Match company's old works along West river and then to in- corporate the tract into the city park system. The property which it is pro- posed to turn into park is about fif- teen acres in extent.

Meeting of the Evacuation Commits
 stOners-A Cyclone Expected.

siOners-A Cyclone Expected.
 Havana, Oct. 2S.-At this mornings joint session of the evacuation commits no conclusions were reached except as to matters of detail and of little impor- tance. Thus far all matters of impor- tance have been regularly referred to Paris for decision by the joint peace conference. On November 15 the quar- antine against yellow fever will cease, so that steamers between Havana and Tampa can carry passengers without immunity papers. Senor Atilano Cele- me, one of the most prominent and wealthy Havanese, has placed at Gen. eraI Buffers disposal, for the remain der of his stay here, a handsome car riage and pair, with coachman and footman.
 Colonel Lee and Lieutenant Colonel IIiyermore of the United States special commission on camp sites returned this afternoon from the province of Pinar del Rio where they have selected three sites from among which the government will choose one. This evening the mat ter of landing place is under consid- eration before the entire camp board "A cyclone is expected here within the next few days, as already predicted in a dispatch to the Associated Press. This prospect again opens up the discussion as to the proposed landing stage at Playa de Marianao, where it would be almost impossible to construct wharf with the sea breaking upon rocks five to six feet high The Stars and Stripes floating of late over the Hotel Trotcha, having become somewhat damaged by the rough weather, a number of young Cuban women called upon Major Gen eral Butler this afternoon and asked permission to repair it. General Butler, yraciously acceding to this request, had old Glory hauled down and handed it to the young women, who triumphantly bore it away to be mended.

MAJOR MARCHAND'S MOVE
FRENCH EXPLORER'S LEAVING OF
 F4SHODA FOR KHARTOUM.

It Is Considered i'm London as IndlcatiVe
 ofa Yielding on the Part of France of
 the Specific Questions Ina Controversy
 The Times Says That Nothing Could
 be More Unlikely at the Present Mo-
 ment Than Great Britain Declaring a
 Protectorate Over Egypt.
 London, Oct. 29.-Major Marchand's $ movement from Fashoda to Khartoum is considered as indicative of yielding on the part of France of the specific question in controversy, although the position is officially unaltered. It is assumed that he will push on to Cairo in order to be in direct communication with the French government, and that on reaching there he will represent to Paris the impossibility of remaining at Fashoda under existing conditions and will ask authority to withdraw his en- tire force.
 The Times says: "The desire ascrib- ed to France to raise a general discus- sion ought to be in itself sufficient an- swer to the ridiculous rumor circulated in ill-informed quarters yesterday (F'ri- day) that we intended to play into her hands by declaring @ protectorate over Egypt. Nothing could be more unlikely at the present moment"
 The first cabinet minister to speak publicly since the cabinet council on Thursday is Lord Balfour of Burleigh, who, when addressing meeting last evening at GaIashiel, declared that it was the settled policy of the govern ment that the valley of the Nile must be Egyptian territory. Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty in Lord Rose bery's government, in a strong speech last night at Greenock endorsed Lord Salisburys attitude toward the Egyp- tian question and referred with the greatest satisfaction to the prospect of an Anlo-Saxon entente"
 Baron DeCourcel, the French ambas- sador, had another long interview at the foreign office yesterday (Friday) with Sir Thomas Sanderson, permanent under secretary of state for foreign af- fairs, and there is no doubt that impor- tant matters were under discussion The rumor was circulated on the Paris boulevards yesterday that Major Mar chand would be recalled from Fashoda. On neither side of the channel-certain- ly not on this side-is any serious at tention paid to the rumor that England would declare a protectorate over Egypt. The special correspondent of the Daily News at Obdurman tele- graphs: q have reason to believe that Major Marchand is waiting for instruc- tions to withdraw the French mission from Fashoda."

SHORT SKIRTS.
Am Interesting Discussion at the Wo-
 mems National Council.


 mems National Council.
 Omaha, Neb., Oct. 2S.-Dress, partic- ularly the short -skirted kind, was the main topic of the Women's National committee on dress was presented by Mrs. Frances w. Letter of Mansfield, o. The dress bulletins had to be sus- pended for lack of funds. Rev. Anna Shaw who presided, Susan B. An thony, Mrs. Louise Barnum Robbins of Adrian, Mich, Mrs. Clara Dewick Colby of Washington, D. C., the former presi- dent of the Nebraska State w. c. T. U., all took part in the discussion of dress reform, and some interesting points were brought out, such as mans ap- propriation of trousers, which had been the invention of woman when man was the warrior and did not have time to at tend to any business, the effect of short skirts upon the morals of young men and the need of the latter to be disci- plined by the constant object lesson of the former (which was Miss Shaw's idea), and finally the anatomical infor- the body is just below the stable ribs. Mrs. Letter said the true art model had no dividing line, and when a woman has a round form she is laced because the true human form is oval. She be- lieved the Russian law compelling girls at school to leave off their corsets dur ing physical exercises ought to be adopted in this country.

London, Oct. 29.--Tn moderate circles according to the Paris correspondent of the Times, where a serious effort is be- ing made to discover the truth in the Dreyfus affair, the impression left by the report of M. Bard, official reporter to the court of Cessation is profound, painful and discouraging." The corre- spondent of the Times continues: ''The thought which weighs like a pail on the country seems to be reluctance to believe In the complete innocence of Dreyfus because such a belief would involve such a terrible censure of those responsible, knowingly or unknowingly, for his condemnation"

Committee on Building Lines.

The committee on building lines last evening decided to recommend to the court of common council that build ing line be established on County street between Munson and Henry streets, and on Elm streets, between Platt street and Sherman avenue, q feet back from the street line; on Brownell street, west side, between Elm street and Whitley avenue, 20 feet back from the street line. The committee also voted to recommend the approval of the report of the board of compensa- tion assessing benefits and damages for the establishment or building lines on Gibbs street, between Dixwell ave- nue and the Northampton railroad tracks. No action can be taken on this latter matter, however, until Gibbs street is extended.
