 diers Than Called for.
 There is no man in military circles at the state house or anywhere else in these parts who pretends to understand the statement of the progress of enlist ments which was sent out from Wash ington last night and which is given below. From that statement it ap- pears that Connecticut was called upon to furnish 495 men under the pres ident's last call, and that subsequent enlistments have only brought the number up to S31, leaving a deficit of 1O4 yet to be made.
 This is only few hundred out of the way.
 If there is any other state as much ahead of Uncle Sam in the game as Connecticut it would be we'll to have the fact made known. Yet here we are represented as being actually lacking in our contributions of soldiers for the war!
 Connecticut has enlisted and has mustered into the service of the United States since April 21 3,427 men, as fol- lows:
 First regiment, 1926 men.
 Third regiment, 1926 men.
 Heavy artillery, 400 men.
 Light artillery, 173 men.
 Naval reserves, POS men.
 hn irct of was for 1900 men. The state authori- ties have never received any official no tiflcation under the presidents second call for troops asking for a specific number of men. But a published statement from Washington mentioned our number as 965. The action of Gov ernor Cooke in calling out and filling up the ranks of the Third regiment was not in response to any official demand or request from Washington. But since the First regiment and the two batter ieS were mustered in, additions have been made to our war organization as follows: Ten companies of the First regiment recruited from S4 to 106 men 220 in all; two new companies, 21S; light l battery increased from 125 to 173; two | heavy batteries increased from l50 te | 200 men each. This makes total Of | 5S6 recruits since the mastering in of | the First regiment in addition to the mastering in of the entire Third regi- | ment.
 Thus Connecticut has contributed 36: l men above her so-called quota, and yet 1 is credited at Washington as a delin- l quent.-Hartford Times.

Y. M. c. A. MEETING.
Interesting Talk By William F. Ireland,
 a ConeYrted Convict

Interesting Talk By William F. Ireland a Conevrted Convict.
 No less than 600 people paid the strictest attention to the words of Will
 liam F. Ireland, better known as "Kid
 Davis," at the open air meeting held
 on the steps in front of Center street,
 yesterday afternoon, under the auspices Of the Central and Railroad branches
 of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton.
 It was the fourth meeting of the summer series and although not so well attended the intensity of the. in-
 terest manifested by,each one present
 was great enough to even matters up
 and the meeting may be considered
 unusually successful in that there were some in the audience whose hearts
 must have been moved or else they were of stone. MT. Ireland is young
 man who has spent part of his life
 behind prison bars and has experience ed much of the evil side of life. About
 four years ago while confined in a penitentiary in Philadelphia he was converted by Mrs. Ballington Booth and since then has been doing work for the Master. He devotes most of his time to work with the prisoners con- fined in the different jails and prisons
 in the cities and towns which he visits This is his first visit to New Haven
 and in all probability will spend about two weeks in the city. He expects to speak to those confined in the Whalley avenue jail next Sunday morning. At yesterday afternoons meeting MT. Ireland spoke on the topic Temptation
 and Overcoming Temptation" AL though not an eloquent speaker, his talk was of such a nature and couched in such plain, simple language and his manner was so earnest that all were deeply impressed thereby. He told of his early life, how he left home at the age of fourteen, was sorely tempted, went from bad to worse, shut up in
 prisons here and there and would
 scarcely regain his liberty until over come by the tempter that he would again do something which would cause him to be cast into prison. Then he | spoke of his being converted, how he l had, even after confessing his faith, | been tempted to again fall into hls old ways again, how he was treated by his l friends and relatives, by others and how they refused to believe his story, saying that 1t was only mask to en- | able him to continue his work of vil- | lany.
 Then he showed how the tide turned when he had shown that he was really | sincere in what he said and did and how people crowded various buildings 1 at which he was announced to speak | and how many people had been brought to God and the light at these meetings. He also told of the many | times he was tempted by his friends l and how hard he had to fight to over | come them.
 The music of the service was bright and catchy. MT. Bssell of the Y. M. | c. A. Glee club sang a solo and the | Y. P. s. c. E. of the Grand avenue Congregational church led in the sing | ing. A short after meeting was held at which MT. Ireland was greeted by
 many in the audience He will speak next Sunday afternoon at the meeting | at 3 o'clock at Sayin Rock

SUNDAY RUNAWAY,
ht Was stopped by Hoseman Higgins and Captain Dudley ofNo. SIS House.

ana Captain Dudley ofNo. SIS House,
 A young man and young woman, presumably from out of town, narrow ly escaped serious injury on Edwards street yesterday afternoon about 4;30 o'clock, they driving a spirited horse at tached to light buggy along the street in the vicinity of No. S's engine house, when all of sudden a strap on the saddle broke and allowed the shaft to fall. The shaft struck the animals fore leg in such manner as to frighten 1t quite badly and 1t made bold dash up the street. Seeing that the young mans efforts to stop the animal were in vain, Hoseman Higgins of the engine house ran out to his assistance. It was necessary for him to run along side of the horse in order to avoid be- ing punctured by the shaft. He sue ceeded in catching the bridle, but could not fully stop the fleeing animal and was partially dragged and carried over hundred feet, when Captain Daley ran out, caught hold of the bridle on the side opposite Higgins and the two succeeded in bringing the horse to a standstill.
 No one was injured, but the young people in the carriage were much frightened. After repairing the harness the couple drove on, feeling very grate- full to Hoseman Higgins and Captain Daley. Those who saw the occurrence speak very highly of the remarkable nerve and coolness displayed by MT Higgins.
