$500 FIRE IN VEST YEN.
Hugh MOrton's saloon Totally De-
stroyed Early This Morning.

Hugh Morton's saloon on Wood street,
West Haven, was destroyed by fire
about 1 o'clock this morning. The fire
had gained a good headway and the
building was wrapped in flames when a
fire alarm was sounded from box IL at
the corner of Campbell avenue and
Richards street. The whistles of the
Winchester avenue railroad power house
and of the Merwin Provision company's
works were blown and the bell of the
Congregational church was rung.
Although in the middle Of the night a
large crowd collected and assisted the
firemen. The building was one story
wooden structure about 30x50 feet and
contained the saloon, pool room and
card room. 1t was located on Wood
street near the buckle shop There
were no buildings close to it, the near
est building being house on one side
200 feet away and one on the other
side about 400 feet away, owned by Mr..

ed was erected about five years ago and

ANOTHER TRINSFER ASKED.
Board of Education Wants SO, 500 Trans
ferret-Tabled by Board of Finance.

! James T. Moran and Thomas Hooker
of the board of education appeared be-
fore the board of finance at that
boards meeting yesterday afternoon
and asked for the transfer of $4,000 from
other accounts in the department of ed
ucation to the salary account in the
same depar tment. A transfer of $1,000
was asked by the board of education
some time ago and it was this matter
which brought about the agitation in
the court of common council concerning
the supervisors in the public schools OF
the city. The transfer of $500 has not
yet been granted and the board of edu-
cation has scaled down the estimate of
the amount needed in the salary ac-
count so that it is now thought that
transfer of $500 will be sufficienct,
hence the request presented to the
board of finance by Mr. Moran and Mr..
Hooker on behalf of the board of edu
cation.
The board of finance decided how
ever, inasmuch as the $500 transfer is
still pending in the court of common
council and the necessity of having SUI
pervisors is to be Investigated, to table
money Another transfer asked by the
board of education yesterday was one
of $3.50 from the account for the Shelton
avenue school to be used to purchase
strip of land fifteen feet wide adjoining
the Ezekiel Cheever school on Lombard
street. This transfer the board Of finance
decided to grant.
Controller Rowe called attention to
the fact that the appropriation for the
free public library had been paid by
Controller Brown, his predecessor in
office, to J. Rice Winchell, treasurer Of
the public library. Mr. Rowe thought
the proper custodian for this fund, as
of the appropriations for all other de-
partments, was the city treasurer. The
matter was discussed by the board, and
it was decided to instruct the controller
to confer with Treasurer Winchell of
the public library and have the fund
turned over to the city treasurer.

ence of the national committee into "a
purely local fight for partisan purposes
was sustained and recommended that
the control of the press bureau be trans
ferred to committee
The report was adopted with three
dissenting voices, O'Donnell of Colorado,
Williams of Massachusetts and Abbott
of New York, voting in the negative.
Mr.. Bryan did not vote.
The committee took a recess until $3.50
when it reassembled Mr.. Cox of Kansas
City appeared and argued in favor Of
holding the next convention in Kansas
City. No action was taken in the mat
ter by the committee. The next busi-
ness was the reception Of the members
of the Ohio Bimetallic league The ad-
dress of their chairman, Mr.. Tarvin,
contained nothing calculated to convey
the impression that unless the members
OF the league received the recognition
they demanded they would bolt from
the party. The action on the rules fol-
lowed the withdrawal of the Ohio BIZ
metallists.

mile in 1:55, clipping "a of a second
from the competitive record established
by Hausman and Collett in Waterbury
in 1897
The tandem handicap was a feature
of the meet and created great interest
because Of the rivalry between Uaus-
mand and Collett, two of the principals
On the turn into the stretch Hausman
and Rutz were practically out of the
race because of loosened tire. Collett
and Wahrenberger could not catch Kra-
mer and Lake, who had fifteen wards

cessful attempts to break the mile nm

SW1YNE My BE INDICTED
For His Connection with the Molinc"x

| New York, July 20.-The grand jury
in the case of Roland B. Molineux,
charged with killing Mrs. Kate j..
| Adams to-day found an Indictment
| against him for murder in the first de-
| gree. Up to this morning there had
been no case of Roland b. Molineux
| considered by the grand jury. All wit
nesses were summoned in the name OF
John Doe, who was charged with hav-
ing caused the death of Mrs. Kate j.
Adams
Justice Williams in his opinion dis
missing the former indictment against
Mollneux based the quashing of the in-
dletment on incompetent and illegal evil
dence brought before the grand jury.
Ihe almlt appears, of the district attor-
ney was to avoid this fault in another
indictment. All witnesses We're sum
moned in the case of John Doe. During
the past week these witnesses were ex-
amined in regard to the case. They are
all, it is said, summoned in the case of
John Doe and gave it as their opinion
that Roland B. MolneuX was connected
with the case and some that he was
the offender. The hypnotical case was
concluded yesterday.
This morning Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne with twelve witnesses went
into the grand jury room. This time the
witnesses appeared in the case of Roland
B. MolineuX. They were examined very
briefly and the jury subsequently found
an indictment against MolineuX of muir
der in the first degree.
1t was said at the Office of the dis
trict attorney that proceedings will be
begun against Walter S. Swayne,
druggist of New Haven, Conn, who said
a few days ago that he had sold pois-
onous concoction to Harry Cornish in
1897. The officials of the office said that
Swayne could be indicted for conspir-
acy

FRANCO-d lLERICAN TREATY..
France Not Anxious to Close the Ne
gOtintiOns.

Washington, July 20.-The reciprocity
negotiations between this country and
France have again assumed a critical
state. Three more days remain in which
a treaty can be framed and there is
considerable anxiety as to the final sue
cess of the affair. The conditions have
entirely changed within the last few
days and whereas at one time the
French ambassador, M. Cambon, and
the special reciprocity delegate, M.
Charpentier, were quite desirous of clos
ing the matter it is understood they no
longer show any anxiety in that direc-
ton. This is said to arise largely from
an agitation which was begun in France
against the treaty on the ground that
1t threatens to bring American goods in
throw out of employment many French
workmen. This unexpected opposition
in France apears to have induced the
government leaders to use much cir
cumspection in closing the treaty. This
in turn is finding expression in the ne
gotiations here and there in an unwilling
ness to grant the large concessions pro-
posed at the outset. In particular it is
understood that the authorities at
Paris have insisted that reductions
must be made in some ten or fifteen ar
tirles.
An unexpected phase of the communi-
CO tions has developed of late. The
American exports of mineral oils which
have been very heavy to France of late
has been the bone of contention. The
= ffara,,oo II, dI,ty on This one product Is
said to amount to $5,000,00O.
TIE expectation is that the treaty will
be signed on Saturday.
