As the moon comes between the sun
and the earth to-day its long. conical
shadow will first strike the earth on
the Pacific ocean off the coast of south
ern California. 1T will then rapidly
trail across the continent, sweeping al
most centrally over New Orleans, and
thence pursuing northeasterly track
about forty miles broat, to the vicinity
of Norfolk. The shadow track in which
the sun is totally eclipsed does not pass
over Connecticut. Throughout this
section, however, at least seven-eighths
of the sun will be obscured. AT New
York city the beginning of the eclipse
will be about ten minutes of 8 a. m,
and it's greatest phase will occur about
8 a. m, when nearly nineteen twentieths
of the suns face will be hidden by the
MOON 1t can be viewed through a pair
of opera glasses or low power tele-
scope
An interested party of astronomers
and scientists will observe the eclipse
at the Yale astronomical observatory
to-day. DR.. f. L. Chase and Mason f.
Smith of the observatory are Already in
the south with the party of national as
tronomers, who will make observations
of the eclipse. DR.. w. l.. Elkins is,
however still at the observatory. Many
of the guests at the observatory to-day
will take pictures of the eclipse largely
out of curiosity, as the photographs talk

entire eclipse, and, therefore, their sci
entific value is limited. No scientific

injured this afternoon while coasting

During the evening, however, he became
conscious, but Is in an extremely criti-
cal condition, The real extent of his in
juries could not be accurately ascertain
ed at that time. The accident was
caused by the fork of the bicycle snap
ping short off when the rider was about
half way down very steep hill. The
young man was thrown violently to the
ground, striking on his head and shoul-
ders.

thought this strange as the gates ara
locked nights, and entrance to the yard
can only be gained then by climbing
over high fence. Going to a side door
he opened it and saw two men trying
to open the front door He asked what
they wanted, and one said that they
were looking for place to sleep. Mar
golis told them that they could not sleep
there and ordered them away. One left
but the other did not until Margolis
pulled a revolver.
About half on hour later the watch
man heard some one trying to get in
at another door, and going to it he call
ed out and asked what was wanted.
The noise at the door continued and
sounded as though those outside werA
trying to break in. Margolis asked
again what was wanted, and receiving
no reply he fired three shots through
the door. AS he fired he heard one Of
the men call out as though in pain, and
the noise at the door ceased.
Margolis then went to the window and
looking out saw the two men going
away, one leaning on the other, who
was evidently assisting him. Margolis
thinks that one of the men was hit.
When he last saw them they were going.
