So frequent were the blasts that everybody was stretching his neck to find out the cause of the disturbance The noise be- gan at the Atlantic hotel and continued until the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue was reached. The peo- pie than discovered that the commotion was caused by the arrival of Hi Hen rvs mtnstrels in town, Hi Henry led the parade in his locomobile, which had steam whistle attached.

YALE FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
The Only Hard Work Before the Game
 Accomplished Yesterday.

Accomplished Yesterday.
 The only hard practice the Yale foot ball eleven will take this week was held yesterday afternoon. Halves of twenty minutes were played. The vet erans of the Princeton game have not exhibited such strong form at any time since the game with the Tigers. In the first half, which was played in secret, the varsity lined up exactly as on last Saturday with the exception of Chadwick It was the first time since the game at Princeton that Coy and Gould, the ends, have been in the prac- tice and the first day that Wear has been put back at quarter. Wears work was as horrible as ever. Out of eight punts he caught but one. The coach ers are now instructing him to let the ball drop before he tries to catch it.
 This is desperate measure and will cost Yale many yards in Saturdays game. Placing Wear at quarter seems to settle the question that he will go into the game in that position on Sat urday. Cook, Sharpe and Dupee were lu6 varsity DECKS yesterday dllGFllOOu. Hamlin broke through and blocked one of Sharpe's prettest kicks and Dupee broke through and blocked a try for a field goal by ex~Captaln Chamberlin. Both Chamberlin and ex-Captain Rodgers played on the scrubs yester- day afternoon Sharpe made a field goal from the 20-yard line after three failures Captain Winslow of the freshman eleven has been made first substitute quarter back, and ran the scrubs yesterday. A host of new coach CTS were present, among them "Josh' Hartwell 'S9, Pop" Corbin 'S9, Ray Tompkins 'S4 Walter Camp 80, George Adee, Richard J. Schweppe 1900, Skim Brown 96, and Frank Barbour 92. The varsity made an innovation by delib- erately dribbling the ball ahead on kicks instead of trying to fall on it. This policy will be a feature of their game against Harvard Saturday. Yale will line up for only ten minutes to-day and will do nothing but signal drill on Friday. Present plans of the coachers are to put Cook in at right half back on Saturday for his defensive work as Harvard is expected to make a stiff fight for about twenty minutes Cook will then be retired and Chadwick will go in for the rest of the game

In his answer MT. Thompson claims that he was appointed January &, 1893, as examiner of records and that in that capacity he was clerk in the departments. He claims to have been under the rules of the civil service and says that his position did not require any technical or professional skill or knowledge This distinction was drawn by MT.

AN OLD TREE REMOVED.
East Haven Elm Believed to be 150 Years Old.

East Haven Elm Believed to be 150
 Years Old.
 Workmen employed by the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company were yesterday afternoon engaged in removing very old elm in East Ha- ven. The tree was in front of the post office in the village and was big tree as long as the oldest resident of the place can remember. It is believed to have been at least 150 years old. When it was taken down yesterday the work men found that almost the entire in- terior of the trunk was decayed and that only a thin rim of wood around the outside held the tree up. It was in much the same condition as the large elm which stood on Church street, near Chapel street, and which was blown down during a gale not long ago. The condition of the East Haven tree was not known until it was cut into yesterday, and it. is probable that by it's being taken down a serious ac- cident was averted.
 The street stood rather close to the roadway and was in the way of the double tracking, which the railroad company is laying through the village.

BOUNDARY LINE SUIT.

In the common pleas court before Judge Hubbard and jury the case of Margaret Carney against James Hen nessey and wife is on trial It is a suit to determine the boundary line between the property of the parties to the suit, located at the corner of Olive and State streets.
 Mrs Carney is the owner of a sa- loon there and she claims that the boundary line of her property extends to midway between the saloon and James Hennessey's house. MT Hen nessey claims that the boundary of the property extends no further than the side of the saloon. The right of the use of this bit of property, about four feet wide, has been the cause of no end of dispute.
 Lawyers George D. Beers and Frank Bishop represent the defendants in the action and Lawyer Hamilton represents the plaintiff. There are number of old citizens in court to testify in regard to the location of fences, etc, in years gone by.

New United States Deputy Marshal Ap- pointed.
 Edson S. Bishop of Norwich, United States marshal for the district of Con- necticut, yesterday appointed as deputy marshal William L. Parmelee of Anso- mia. The appointee is a deputy sheriff under Sheriff Durham and will hold both offices.
 Sheriff Parmelee succeeds Police Commissioner John H. Clarke of this city. who resigned the marshalship be- cause of the demands of his private business.
 The other candidates for the mar shalship were Wolf Levy and Frederick Siebert of this city.

Bowen, formerly of Norwich. The department wanted the new depu- ty to come from some other locality for the sake of accommodating the public.
 The present appointment makes the list of deputy marshals as follows: Philip E. Bowen of New Haven, H. Russell Wood of Hartford, William l.. Parmelee of Ansonia
 Sheriff Parmelee is well known in New Haven and is regarded as a very efficient officer.

COUNTERFEIT TICKETS.
High Prices Being Paid for Seats at the
 Harvard Yale Game Saturday.

High Prices Being Paid for Seats at the
 Harvard-Yale Game Saturday.
 Manager Robert Hixon announced yesterday morning officially that there are counterfeit tickets on the market for the 1&le-Harvard game, and warn ed the public that the only tickets that are good are those issued by the man agement through the allotment scheme That allotment used up every available more than LOGO applications are on file for whom no seats can be provided, MT. Hixon said:
 We have found that there is a firm in New York which is counterfeitng the tickets, and that it's agents here have been notified to expect shipments by Friday night or Saturday morning at the latest. We are endeavoring to locate the makers. We are informed on creditable authority that our plates have in some manner been secured or have been copied for this bogus issue Everybody should take warning from this and buy tickets from none but the Yale and Harvard football manage ments."
 Fancy prices rule for seats that have been secured from students. The high water mark yesterday noon was three desirable seats for $60. The demand is unprecedented and the spectators be- moan their ill-luck at having secured only a few
