DUNN'S REPORT.
Failures in 1899 We're 9,303, WITH
%I23,132 ,679 Liabilities.

Failures in 1899 We're 9,393, Wi;h
sI23,13a,6 $40 Liabilities.
New YORK, Jan. 5-R. G. Dunn Il
Co.'s weekly review of trade will say to-
morrow:
Failures in 1899 were 1888 in number,
with liabilities of 5123, l32,679 The last
days of the year added few to the mum
Der and some millions to the known la
bilities of firms and banks which failed
to close to the end, so that commercial
defaults reached 800, ,S79, ,889, of which
$50, 1872, ,164 were in manufacturing, S4s,-
924,7 in trading, and $l1,621, 1854 in
brokerage, promoting and other COM
mercial liabilities.
Most people in business have been 50
occupied with the accounts and settle
ments CT the past year that little new
business has yet been done. No new
tendency in manufactures or in trading
appears and less change than was antic-
ipated in money markets.

Receives II High Compliment from At
torney General Pickle.
In the argument of the Irvine case in
the Supreme Court, counsel for both
sides had much to say regarding that
portion of the charge as to the right of
self defense when relied upon by the
original aggressor; the defense contend
ing that there was reversible error in that
part of the charge. When it came At
torney- General Pickles time to speak,
coming to that part of his argument he
said, 81 regard this as the ablest exposi-
ton of the law on this subject that |
have heard or read, whether from a
court of last resort or in the text books.
1t is a perfect model and should be
made a matter of record and preserved.
If there was nothing else in the charge
to recommend it, this would be enough
to stamp the trial Judge as great
Judge"

Improving the Club House at Tolla,

Improving the Club House at Holland.
 The building and improvement com nittee of the Holland Fish and Game association, Messrs. Mott, Emigh, c. Loebel and Oliver Graham, all of New York city, are at present at the club house at Holland. Quite extensive im- provements are to be made this season, and many of them will be started at once such as enlarging the house, ada ing new rooms and furnishings, erecting a new barn. beaptifying the premises, etc. It was found last season that the capacity of the house was not large enough to accommodate all the club members and their guests and as it is expected thta larger numbers will be in attendance this year than before these additions are considered necessary. If everything works as the association management now anticipates this will be glorious season in the history of the Holland Fish and Game asssocia- ton.

COURT OF COMMON pLEAs,

Judge Studley in the court of com mon pleas yesterday heard the case of Alprozo Acunto against Joseph Sanze- TO, formerly of Stony Creek but now of New Haven, to recover damages placed at $500, The case has interesting feat ures. A few months ago the plaintiff gave to the defendant the use of horse and wagon with a view to sale and purchase by the defendant, If satisfac- tory The defendant drove to New Haven and on the way back met the plaintiff, whom he called from the road to place on the drivers seat, to make the journey home The defendant had barrel of olives in the wagon, which were tossing about.
 While Acunto was fixing up the bar rel a heavy team came around the cor ner of the road and there was a colli- sion, in which the Acunto wagon was practically demolished. He brought this suit to recover from Sanzero, his host. Sanzero, through Lawyer Philip Pond, set up the facts as above rela ted and denied legal responsibility. He said the horse was in charge of Acunto when the accident happened, and that he alone is responsible. Sanzero, the defendant, denied Acunto's story, and they went to trial on the facts as stated Lawyer R. H. Tyner is counsel for the defendant.

NEW AUTOMOBILE LINE.
Proposed to Connect Southington and
 Cheshire.

Proposed to Connect Southington and Cheshire.
 A movement is now under way to es- tablish an automobile line between Southington, Cheshire and Mt. Carmel, and one of the prime movers is Walter Scott proprietor of the Waverly Inn in Cheshire.
 The scheme has been suggested to a number of well known capitalists, who are said to look favorably upon the nlap. Whether the scheme will be car ried through or not will probably be de- cided during the present week.
 MT Scott expects to call on an auto mobile concern in Bridgeport this week and find out whether the machines can he had in a reasonable time. It is pro- posed to obtain carriages to accommo- date eighteen or twenty persons, and, besides a passenger service, an express business will also be conducted. The idea is to have the line in full operation this summer. and provided it is carried ont there is little doubt that the venture would prove a financial success, as it will open up a new field and will give connections with the outside world to people who have been patiently wait inc fn, trolley connection for some time.
 The road will be comparatively easy for travel and is one of the most pleas ant drives in that section of the state.

YALE WINS SECOND GAME
EASILY DEFEATS TUFTS COLLEGE F
 TEAM YESTERDAY.
and Only Few Remained to the End Game Called at Beginning of seventh Inning.

Yale easily defeated Tufts college ir the second baseball game of the season yesterday afternoon at the Yale field by the score of 14 to 3. The day was very disagreeable one for a baseball game being cold and windy, and in conse- quence there were not more than three hundred in attendance. At the begin ming of the seventh inning, when the game was called, the crowd had dwin- dled down to less than one hundred, as there was no doubt of the result, Yale sending twelve men across the rubber in the fourth and sixth innings.
 The game, from a Yale standpoint, was not quite up to the standard, and on two or three occasions a little team work and judgment on the part of the coachers would have added at least two runs to the score.
 The season is young yet and doubt less by the time the championship games are here the nine will came around in true Yale fashion and make a strong finish. Captain Camp played the entire team that took the field in the first inning throughout the game, with two exceptions, Garvan relieving Robertson in the sixth and Waddell taking Barnwells place in the same inning.
 Nearly all the Yale team batted well, and the fielding was quite clean, with one exception-Quinby, who covered third base. He was cratic in his throw ing on two occasions and he also fum- bled a grounder in the first inning, which ultimately cost run. Quinby has been out less than the other mem bers of the team, which probably &C., counts for his fielding. His run-getting and batting, however, were the features of the game, four runs and three sin gles being credited to him. There was little opportunity to size up Browns fielding, as he didn't have chance dur ing the game. He was the only mem Der of the team who failed to bat safe 1y.
 The visitors hit Robertson pretty hard in the second and third innings, crack ing out five pretty singles. Sullivan as usual was poor in his throwing to sec ond, five men stealing theT bag. SulH- van also failed to hit the ball very hard. Sharpe on first base played a good all round game, as his record in the score shows. His homer in the fourth inning was one of the longest hits seen at the field in long time. The ball sailed far over Left Fielder Lawton's head, al most to the end of the football field. Sharpe had made a circuit of the bases before the ball was fielded. The out fielders had practically nothing to do. Barnwell and Guernsey batted well. CaDtain Camp plaVed well in the field but could make but one hit. Robertson and Garvan did only fairly well.
 The visitors showed lack of practice in judging fly balls and several times failed to connect with the sphere when under ordinary circumstances the plays would have been easy outs. The two captains agreed to call the game after one man had made hit in Tufts half of the seventh inning. The full score follows:

 The final contests of the Yale wrest- ling matches attracted quite gather ing of spectators to the Yale gymnasi- um yesterday afternoon. Among the crowd was a liberal sprinkling of the fair sex, for whom seats were provided on the gymnasium floor, and the com petitors were often to greater effort py the clappng of daintily g.oved hands. The wrestling contests were followed by several fencing bouts, in which the con- testants were alike liberaly applauded, All the events took place as scheduled, with the exception of the heavyweight wrestling match, which went to A. L.. Gile by default, w. J. Mcconnell, who was to have been his opponent, having failed to put in an appearance. The winners in the various contests were awarded the Seymour cups, presented by pr. Modkyns Seymour, Yale "A
 The winner of the lightweight match was B. Wilson 1901, who threw J. H. Hart 1902 in the third bout after an in- terval of forty minutes. It was by far the most interesting match of the af- ternoon, as both men proved themselves good "stayers." The first two bouts between them were decided draws by the referee.
 In the middleweight contest F. H. Benner 1901 s. gained a victory over w. w Taylor 1900 s. in the third bout af- ter an interval of 22 minutes and 20 sec onds. The first two bouts in this con test were also decided draws.
 By yesterdays victories Wilson and Benner are decided the champion wrest- lers of the university in their respective classes.
 The fencing bouts were three in num- Der. The first prize was awarded to Arnold, the second to Stow ard the third to King.
