We unde stand that the new
levee on the Statler Ferry road is
almost impossible. A gentleman
who came over it Tuesday Informs
US that unless it is cross-laid or
brushed before winter it will be i'm
possible for people living east OF
the river to come to Bolivar. This
is an important matter that should
be looked after at once, else the
town will lose considerable trade.
We heard one gentleman, who lives
in the 18th district, say that hereaf-
ter he would be compelled to haul
his cotton to Middleton or Bethel,
that he would not attempt to cross
this levee in its present condition.

Seriously Injured.

Recently it was reported
to DR.. Douglas, Superintend-
ent of the Western Hospital,
that an offensive odor had
been detected about the build
ing, supposed to have origi-
mated from the basement of
the first female ward. This
basement has been used by
one of the trusted patients
for storing flowers, flower
pots, etc. At the suggestion
of the Superintendent, Tues
day evening about s o'clock,
Mr.. Frank Luther, the Stew
ard, and several other employ
es of the Hospital, entered
the basement to make an in
vestigation. Descending the
steps a trap door was encoun-
tered, hence the party pro-
ceeded with caution. Stored
within the basement was
found a number of boxes,
flower pots and considerable
rubbish of various kinds.
One Of the boxes was near
the entrance in a prominent
place. Mr.. Luther opened
this box to discover it's con-
tents. Immediately an ex-
plosion followed and a piece
of glass flew into his left eye.
1t is supposed that the box
contained a bottle filled with
powder, attached to which
was a match, ingeniously ar
ranged, so as to cause igni-
ton upon the lifting of the
lid.
Mr.. Luther suffered great
pain and Wednesday morn
ing went to jackson to con-
suit an occulist, who has de-
cided, we understand, to re-
move the eye. The opera
ton was to have been per-
formed yesterday, but a tele-
phone message received just
as we go to press states that
it was postponed, as the
sight had not been entirely
destroyed, and there is a
faint hope of saving the eye.
Mrs. Luther and children
left yesterday morning for
jackson.
The patient who set the
trap was under the impress
sion that some one without
authority had been entering
the basement, and we under
stand, he has been heard to
say that if repeated che
would blow their heads off. :"
When informed that Mr..
Luther had been seriously
injured by his contrivance, he
seemed deeply grieved and
wept like a child.
The patient is now confn-
ed to the wards.

YALE PRACTICE.

The practice at Yale field yesterday afternoon consisted of but one half of seventeen minutes, during which time the university scored twice. The uni versity backs consisted of deSaulles, Marvin, Benjamin and Mcbride. They gave the direction of the play away before the ball was snapped, starting slowly. Their interference was poor and ragged and the backs did not gain much behind it. The college team pre- vented further scoring by holding the first team near the goal line and then kicking the ball down the field The feature of the practice,was the attempt to develope new man at center. An- drews, who has been playing at guard, Richardson, guard on last years freshman team, and Phillips, were all tried in the position. W. H. Corbin was on the field and coached the cen ter men. Julian w. Curtiss also was up from New York watching the men at work

HARVARD's PRACTICE.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 6.-The prac- tice of the Harvard eleven to-day was the most aggressive of the season. There were two halves of 20 and 12 minutes respectively, the first half against the second eleven and the next against the third. Six touchdowns were scored by the varsity while neither of the opposing teams could make a point. Gcal was back at his old place instead of being at right half. Daly, quarter back. has been laid off temporarily as he is suffering from a few superficial bruises which, how ever, will not keep him out of the next game. Swain took his place to-day, passing fairly well. $. F. Mills, who has been with the Philadelphia City troop at Porto Rico, and who has late ly been in Cambridge on furlough, has obtained a special leave for further ab- sence and practiced the signals with the Varsity to-day. He will try for right tackle

 The steamer Cleo, Captain Clerkins, Is still at work for F. Mansfield & Sons on their oyster beds in Narragansett bay, near Bayside. The sea stars got a pretty good start, but Captain Mans field of the company says the steamer is catching them up pretty fast It seems the Rhode Islanders do not know how to catch star fish as well as the Connecticut oyster men, and the stars are quite plentiful in that part of the bay. The pest eat not only the oyster but the scallops and other shell fish. The steamers average catch of stars is fifty bushels, but as high as 200 bushels have been caught in a day. The fish are taken to Warren and disposed of for fertilizing purposes. Captain Mansfield says the oysters have been somewhat injured, but he believes that the persistent fight against stars will save the greater portion of the oyster crop.

NATIONAL CYCLE MEET.
A Small Attendance at washingt,

A Small Attendance at Washington
 Washington, Oct. GA small crowd attended the races given at the Park Bicycle club to-day under the auspices of the National Racing Cyclist union, the opposing organization to the L. A. w. The most noted cracks in bicycle circles participated. The principal event, the great quarter mile cham pionship furnished a surprise in that Owen Kimble, of Louisville, carried off first honcrs. Major Taylor and Eddie Bald were placed second and third re- spectively. The Major by the addition of forty points to his schore as the re- suit of to-day's race against BaId's 30, comes within two points of the white man for the lead for championship honors. Kimble's victory put him ahead of Mcfarland of San Francisco for third place.
 The feature of the third race, a one mile handicap, was that Eddie Bald, a scratch man, ran unplaced and Arthur

GRANTED BY CHAIRMAN MOTT.

Sanction for a National Meet to Be
 Held in This City Saturday, October
 15-Will Decide the National Cham
 pionship-Some of the Features.
 Chairman Mott of the L. A. w. racing board last night sent a telegram to the promoters of the national circuit meet to be held in this city giving his sanction. The races will take place one week from tomorrow, the 18th, at Elm City Park. The five-mile national championship for the professional rid CTS will be one of the events, which will count sixty points. If Tom Butler wins this event he will be the champion of the United States, or it might be said of the world, as the racing in other countries does not compare with the racing seen in the United States The five-milH national championship race was originally assigned to Washington, but Washington threw up the l.. A. w. track privileges by opening the track to the 'toutlawed' riders. If it was not for this reason New Haven would not have had the benefit of this sanction. This will be the fourth bicycle meet given in this city this year, the other three having been given by the New Haven Cycling club.
 Among the features will be an hour race by Edward c. Hausman of this city. He will endeavor to break the hour record, which now is twenty-eight miles He has begun training for the event and will be paced by several quads and quint. His aim will be to make it thirty miles for an hour which will be fast time on a half mile track.
 "Clint" Coulter, who will race with Star Pointer in Chicago for mile will be one of the features, but with whom he will race has not been decided upon
 Collett and Hausman are negotiating with Rutz and Wheeler for tandem race. which will not doubt take place that day Rutz and Wheeler cover a good deal of ground on tandem and should give the champions hard tus- sle.

YALE LAW SCHOOL,

The increase in the requirements for admission to the law school and the lengthening of the course of undergrad uate study from two to three years have produced the desired result. The entering class contains more college men than ever before, and the increase in the number of men from the campus is especially noticeable The school opened on September 29 with a registra- tion of two less than that of last year. Owing to the new requirements many men who are not college graduates are kept out. Professor Buckland has re- tired from the faculty to devote him. self exclusively to the practice of the law. Additions to the faculty are Judge Torrance of the supreme court and Dr. W. w. Foster, who was for merly instructor.

FOOTBALL AT HARVARD.

The Harvard Crimson sums up the football situation at Harvard as fol- lows:
 'The team is not together and has a very crude offense and defense, and is far behind last years team at all points of play except kicking and handling kicks in the back field. This is largely due to the large number of candidates that have had to be tried. Good prog ress may be looked for in the next ten days. The line has to be practically re- made. Last years veteran tackles are out of the game for one cause or an- other. With the return of Mills, Swain, Donald and Haughton, the line should be much strengthened
 "The most promising candidates for the various positions are: Ends, Coch- rane, Hallowell, Gray and Farley; tackles, Lawrence, Burnett and Train CT; guards, Sargent Burden, Boals and Catlin; center, Sargent Eaton and Kas- son; quarter back, Daily, Fincke and Swain; halfbacks, Dibblee, Warren Reid, Ellis and Kendall.
