The third game of tho Pinsbury-Showalter
championship chess match was postponed yester-
day till tomorrow. Showalter taking one of his
three of days. Since the fret game of the
match. when he was defeated, Pillsbury has
been looking up the French defence, giving
sDecial attention TO the continuation for white

black of B-Kt 5. which leads SO frequently to
nm extremely hot game. How we'll he Is salts.

determine the question whether the champion
plays PIX 4 or offers a Queens Eambit. or
course, in tho former case, Showaltcrm may elect
to stand on an open defence. in which case a
Ruy Lopez will probably result.

BOARD OF CONFIRMATION. Matters Referred Back to Common Coun- ell Without Further Consider ation.

The board of compensation last night decided to refer back to the court of common council the reports of assess ments of benefits and damages recom- mended for the extension of Harriet and County streets. The board consid- CTS that it has fully considered the mat ter. No reasons were given by the court of common council for referring the matter to the bureau of compensa- ton again. The bureau of compensa- ton also voted to return to the court of common council the claim of General w. H. Pierpont, who claims damages for a change of grade on Ferry street. It seems that MT. Pierpont had already been awarded $50 damages, but that when he called at the controllers office for his check he would receipt for the $50 only as having been received on ac- count. Controller Brown refused to pay over the $50 for such a receipt and the matter was then again referred to the bureau of compensation. The bureau returns the papers to the court of com mon council with the opinion that it has once already considered fully the matter and cannot legally do so again.

George Fred Williams Tells Denver People
 it Is Bright.


 Denver, Jan. This has been busy day for Hon. George Fred Williams of Boston, who is the guest of the people of Denver The morning was devoted to drives about the city. In the after noon MT. Williams met the civic feder- ation and the Citizens league in the TO- tunda of the Albany. hotel. Horace M. Hale,, on behalf of the Citizens league, and Mrs. Mary c. Bradford of the Wo- mems federation welcomed the states man. MT. Williams thanked the people for their demonstration. A reception was held afterwards.
 Tonight Coliseum hall, the largest auditorium in the city, was packed when Hon. Charles $. Thomas, presi- dent of the Jacksonian, introduced MT. Williams. MT. Williams address was not long. He mildly protested against the credit given hini for his sacrifices in behalf of silver. It was not the leaders who suffered, he said, but the thou- sands of workingnlen who gave up their positions rather than vote against what they believed to be right. He spoke very cheerfully of the outlook for bimetallism and paid a warm tribute to William J. Bryan. who, he predicted, would be the winning presidential can didate in 1900. After the speaking a banquet was served at the Brown Pal ace hotel.

FEATURES OF CURRENCY BILL.

Chairman Walker of the Banking and
 Currency Committee Speaks.
 Washington, Jan. 7.-Chairman Walk CT of the house committee on banking and currency to-day expressed his views as to the general features of the cur rency bill which the committee was likely to report. He said: "The plan prepared by Secretary Gage makes no pretense of relieving the United States treasury from attempting to do an inn possible thing, viz: Pay gold redemp- ton for all the $l,000, 100000 currency in the country without having the ad- vantages for doing so pertaining to a national bank; and the bill prepared by the monetary commission is no better.
 These men when placed in a posi- tion to give them great influence ln a crisis such as this talk of tentative measures and fail to do the only thing possible to solve the problem, viz: Put the responsibility of redemption of all forms of paper money upon the banks. This Is the only country on earth where it is not done. The banking and cur rency committee if it reports any bill whatever, will insist that the bill it represents shall put the redemption of every dollar of currency upon the banks

Charles Haywood of Brant Brook, Mass,
 Kills His Wife,

Brant Rock, Mass, Jan. 7-Charles Hayward killed his wife by crushing her skull with an axe at their home in Green Harbor Village, town of Marsh field, about mile from this place, early this evening. Then Hayward tried to kill himself by cutting his throat with a sharp instrument. The terrible deed. to all appearances, was either the out come of a quarrel CT Hayward was maddened by liquor, for when in his cups his incidence changed to wild frenzy. Just what happened leading up to the murder is not yet clearly known as the witnesses of it, sister and Mrs. Hayward, are so unnerved that they cannot tell the story.
 The first known of the murder was when a young woman laboring under great excitement went to the telephone office and said that her brotherin-law had killed his wife. She told how the tragedy had occurred. The girl said that Hayward chased his wife out of the house with an axe and catching her in the road cracked her skull open. Then Hayward dragged his wife fifty feet or more into the yard and into the house. The girl after witnessing the deed rushed down the road to the vil- lage. She then thought of the telephone office as the quickest way of giving in- formation. A physician immediately upon receiving the news started for the farm house. The physician examined the body and expressed an opinion that the blow which fractured the skull was evidently so heavy that it caused death in a few minutes. Hayward was un- earthed. He was covered with blood and mud, the blood coming from his l throat.

MOONS pARrIAL ECnIPsE.
Observed by Large Numbers in New Haven
 Last Night.

SSAbt INIEDts
 A lunar eclipse visible from the east ern parts of North and South America, the whole of the continents of Europe and Africa, and the western part of Asia occurred last night. The eclipse began at o'clock. A dark semi-circu- lar shadow spread over the moons disk, which gradually increased until 12:SO o'clock, when 37-1O0ths of the moons surface was obscured. From that time on the shadow diminished until 2:S0 o'clock this morning, when the moon was clear of the shadow. The eclipse was plainly visible here and was observ- ed by a large number of residents of New Haven with much interest.
 The moon in it's monthly motion around the earth entered the lighter portion of the earth's shadow or "pe- numbra" at 4:5S yesterday afternoon; however, the diminished light was not noticeable until nearly 6:47, when the moon reached the full shadow of "um- bra." The middle stage Of the eclipse was reached at 7:35, when about one seventh of the moons diameter was in the shadow.
 Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 1.-The par tial eclipse of the moon was photo graphed by the Harvard observatory tonight. Six plates were made with the big 11-inch telescope, part of them on the usual plates and the others through perforated paper. The chief purpose in taking the photographs was to get some accurate idea of the extent of the penumbra.

JOHN O'NEILL, JR., HANGED.
Pens . Letter to Press-Wants O'Conneli
 to Make 8 Statement.


 Greenfield, Mass, Jan. 8.-John O'Neil was .anged at lttas o'clock this morn ing at the Fra..klin county jail for the murder of Mrs Hattie Evelyn McCloud in BuclSland, January 8, 1897. Q'Neil4 said before the trap was sprung: T am innocent; I forgive all who have in- jured me, and may God have mercy on my soul" The execution was accom- plished without accident or any nnexy pected incident save, possibly, the plti- able condition of the condemned man., who seemed well nigh helpless and In need of much assistance from the offi- cials who attended him.
 This was particularly noticeable as he ascended the stairs leading to the scaf- fold when he weakened visibly and seemed to miss his footing on one Of !. the steps, falling back to the next o1les < He quickly recovered however. and re- sumed his walk upwards As he reacll- ed the floor of the scaffold and WIS assisfed' to the spot on the floor Oh which he was to stand and meet his death, he again lost control of himseIf and 1t seemed that all his strength had left him: One of the deputies was coIfl- pelied to hold him up.
 The following letter, penned by O Nell this morning, was given to the press this afternoon as a statement from him:
 Greenfield, Mass, Jan. , 18S8
 To the Editor-I see by your paper that O'Connell has been sending pieces to you for publication. wish you to do me the same favor that you have him. In regard to the testimony of Da-# wis, Curtis and Scheneck, they did not testify that said I drank with O'Con- nell at 6:3O or at any other time that night
 Now, I should like to have O'Con-s nell tell the public for whom he bought that pint of whiskey that night and whose money paid for 1t. I am sure 1t could not have been OConnell's, for he had no money. If OConnell will tell who paid for that pint and who drank it with him, I think the public would feel differently towards me. want to thank Sheriff Chenery and MT. Richard son for their kindness towards me, also all the officers connected with my trial and detention. (Signed)
