 Word has been received of the ar- rival of the schooner Nellie Coleman at Seattle 169 days from Boston, with a vessel left Boston until she reached San Francisco she had not been report ed, something unusual in so long a voyage. The schooner will sail in few days for Alaska. The vessel is a small two-master and when built several years ago was partly owned in Fair Haven and was named for the wife of the late Michael Coleman, a well known oyster dealer.

College Games. STOPPED BY RAIN.


 The game at the Field yesterday af- ternoon between Yale and the Univer- sty of Virginia was called because of the rain in the first half of the sixth with two out, Yale having made two runs and also having a. man on second. The score at the end of the fifth was 4 to in favor of Virginia.
 Summersgill pitched a good game, Yale making but one hit in the five in nings. At the beginning of the season Yale was thought to have fine bat ting team and a poor corps of pitchers, but the last few games have shown the opposite to be true.
 Yale's batting Is especially weak and it is time that a vigorous effort should be made to improve it if Yale is to be factor in the championship this year. The men played yesterdays game with a "dont-care" listless air, as if they had decided before the game that they were going to be beaten. The Yale dash, spirit and pluck about which so much has been said and which has done much to win for Yale, was conspicu- ous by it's absence. There are a dozen college teams in the country who play with more spirit than Yale has been doing this year and if the team is not careful it will close the season with more defeats than victories to its credit. The college can pardon one or two defeats during a season as long as the men play to win all the time and in every game, but such an exhibi- tion as Yale made yesterday is nothing less than very disappointing.
 The visiting team put.up a good game throughout and in two innings retired the Yale men in one, two and three or der.

WALLINGFORD NEVIS.

Officer Dan O'Reilly, who has quite a al reputation as a successful crook catch CT, had a short but lively hunt after a chicken thief last week and he display ed rare detective ability in ferreting out his game. Last Friday a Cheshire farmer came over here and notified Off, ficer O'Reilly that some time during Thursday night about thirty of his chickens were stolen from his premises. The officer and farmer started at once for the west side to hunt for clues and soon sufficient one was found to war rant the search of the premises of a resident of the west side of the town who has within a few weeks located here, coming from a town not far from the New York state line. A search of the place did not develop any signs of the missing fowls, but brought to light a pair of rubber boots with the legs well spattered with spots of blood, and upon investigation they proved to ex- actly fit the peculiar tracks made about the Cheshire hen-coop and whereabouts at the time of the theft, as it had been raining and the mud proved tell-taIe, for the tracks were traced from the farm and down the roads to where the owner of the boots was living. The ac- cused for time persistently denied all knowledge of the theft, but after quite an argument and an offer to settle the case without going to court providing he returned the fowls, a virtual admis- sion of guilt was made by the mans wife, who, with the officer and Chesh- ire man, came into town to get a sum of money in lieu of the chickens which had been disposed of. The woman fail ed to raise the amount, but agreed to do so, If the cash is not forthcoming the man will be arrested and brought before the court in Cheshire. After starting back for Cheshire the farmer stopped in a place on Quinnipiac street and during his short call some one stole the rubber boots, which had proved such a valuable clue, from his wagon. A few days will probably bring out more regarding the case.
