NO STRIKE OF SPRTNKLING MEN. Director Troup Says That a Rumor Which Was A bout Is Unfounded.

It was reported yesterday that a
 strike among the drivers of the water ing carts was smouldering, and that
 unless some action was taken soon
 whereby the pay of these men was in-
 creased, it would result in the men
 quitting work. The report was flatly
 denied last night by Director of Public
 Works Troup, who said that the own CTS of the horses and drivers of the carts were perfectly satisfied with the pay they were receiving and moreover rot a thought of a strike had so much as entered their heads. There was a meeting last night in city hall of Di- rector Troup, Superintendent of Streets Brennan and the owners and drivers of the watering carts. The meeting was called, not for the purpose Of queliing a strike, but for systematizing the work of sprinkling, cutting down some of the routes and lengthening others. There were twenty-two owners and twenty two drivers at the meeting, every cart employed by the city being represented The meeting was a perfectly harmoni- ous one. and no question of pay and no thought of a strike were brought up Director Troupe said that one cart this year is covering two sections of the city instead of having a cart for each of the forty-four sections as was the case last year, this being necessary, he said, on account of the inadequacy of the ap- propriation.

1LBERTINA GOMBERT FOUND. Located in Brnnford Yesterday by De- tective Denmehy and Brought Here.

Albertina Gombert, the sixteen-year- old girl who has been missing from her home at S26 Grand avenue since We'd nesday last was found yesterday after noon in Branford by Detective Sergeant Dennehy. Miss Gombert is a German girl and was the lift of the happy home of her parents. She had always been contented with her home, seemed per- fectly happy, and no reason for her leaving so suddenly could be given by MT and Mrs. Gombert. Detective Ser geant Dennehy followed a clue yester day that finally located the runaway girl and she was greatly surprised when the New Haven detective met her on the street in Branford and told her that she would have to come to New Haven with him. The girl offered no resist ance, and didn't seem ito care whether she came back to her home or not. She said she had been staying with old friends in Branford And intended com ing home when her visit was up, and meant no wrong. Miss Gombert was taken to the Organized Charities, where she remained over night She will probably go back to her home to-day, though it is possible that an Industrial school complaint will be brought against her.

SOPHS DEFEAT FRESHMEN. Spirited Intcr-Ciass Debate Held Last
 Evening.

A new custom-the holding of an in
 class debate between the Freshmen and Sophomore classeS-was inaugural ed at Yale last evening. Representa- tives of both met in argument before a large audience in Osborn hall, and it is not to the discredit of the freshmen to say that they lost. The judges were Professor William l.. Phelps, Dr. M. H. Robinson and Professor William Beebe. In delivering their decision they de- clared that while the freshmen excelled in original representation the sopho- mores were superior in rebuttal. The decision was given after conference of over an hour
 The subject debated was: Resolved, That National Party Lines Should be Disregarded in Municipal Elections" The sophomores argued in the affirma- tive, while the freshmen supported the negative side of the question. The men spoke in the following order: w. B. Luther 1902 H. H. Clark 1908, A. c. Ludington 1902. E. w. Dorman 1903 T. G. Phillips 1903, and A. Fox 1903. Ten minutes were allowed for these speeches and they were followed by five-minute rebuttals in which the men spoke in the following order: w. B. Luther 1902, F. w. Dorman 1903 A. c. Ludington 1902, A. Fox 1903, I. G. Phillips 1902 and H. H. Clark 1903

London, April 6.-The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, telegraphing Thursday, says: "A sedi- tious meeting was summoned by Trans vaal emissaries for to-day at Leeuw- berg, but nobody attended Boer pa trols from Brandfort have cut the tele- graph wires between here and Boshof The British scouts reported yesterday that force of from 12,000 to 1S,000 Boers had been seen beyond Bushmans S Kop, moving from Thaba N'Chu to the south. The enemy, by appeals and men, aces combined are vainly trying to in- duce the burghers to take the field again. The farmers are more afraid of the Transvaalers than they are of the British"
 The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Morning Post, telegraphing Thurs day, says "The Boers are apparently making an attempt to redeem their promise to retake Bloemfontein. A considerable force has moved south through Thaba N'Chu. General Tuck CTS isolation at Karee is more apparent than real, since the open ground north of Bloemfontein offers small opportuni- ties for Boer tactics. They may possi- bly, engage hin, to distract attention from operations elsewhere. Remounts are anxiously awaited"

 the JuniOrs.

Cambridge, April S. - The annual in ter-class track games at Harvard held this afternoon were won by the Juniors, who scored A 1-2 points, the sopho- mores scoring 31 points, the seniors 25 and the freshmen 12.

Ellis '01, also did very well, and won the shot put, and was third in the hammer throw an dthe high jump. The freshman, J. F. Haigh, who has given so much promise in practice, won the 100 yards dash in 10 1-5 seconds, very fast time for a man with so little ex- perience. Hallowell, the football play er won the high hurdles and would have won the low hurdles if he had not unfortunately looked back just as he crossed the tape. He was beaten by Willis, sophomore. Dick Grant won the two-mile run with ease.

me, the charge again being made that I
 was attempting to fly from the state.
 On my last return to Frankfort, these
 papers hastened to publish the state
 ment that was met at the train and
 escorted to my home by squad of sol-
 diers with a Calling guN. There is
 not one word of truth in this state
 ment, but nevertheless it was published
 and circulated to harm me. Not con-
 tent with this infamous, ghoulish work, which, with unblushing audacity has followed me to the graves of my broth
 CT and sister, even the privacy of my family has been invaded and because my wife drew from the bank some money with which to pay the soldiers, an attempt was made to impress the people that she, too, was preparing to fly. Once and for all, I desire to say neither directly nor indirectly had any connection with the assassination of Senator Goebel. I am a citizen of this state, amenable to it's laws. I am not a criminal, neither shall I ever be a fugitive from justice. Whenever in- dicted, if such an outrage should be committed, I shall appear for trial, con- scious of my innocense and of the ulti- mate triumph of right and justice. The whole. purpose of this persecution has been and is to drive me from my post of duty and to punish me for holding the office to which I have fairly been elected Such surrender I have not made nor will I make it unless the highest courts of this land should ad- judge that should do so''

However, as the strikers remained in Portchester they were beyond the pale of the Connecti- cut officials and Louis Richards, the Italian interpreter, who Is one of Sher- if Hawley's deputaies after confer ence with the men was convinced that they would make no further demonstra- ton in this state and the posse of dep uties pressed into service were all per- mitted to return home tonight
