II. was held Thursday afternoon in Emmet hall New Haven, to choose a state treasurer to fill the vacancy caused by the death of F. D. Ryan of Hartford.

All were persistent i'll their claims and their respective friends were not inclined to give mp their fa- vorite for somebody else. There was such an apparent deadlock that it was suggested that a compromise eau didate be selected.
 Rev J. D. Kennedy of Westvillc. state chaplain of the order, was nom- mated and strongly urged to accept, but he refused Finally, at the sug. Sestion that Father Kennedy take the office for seven months, the unexpired term of the late treasurer Father Ken nedy accepted the offer.
 This will put the matter over until the annual state convention next Au- gust, when the eight candidates for the office Will have m opportunity to fight it out.

INTERCOLLEGIATE FENCING.
Greater Interest Being shown in This
 Sport Than Heretofore.

New York, Dec "A greater inter- est in Intercollegiate fencing has been apparent recently among those univer- sites which are usually represented in the annual competition for the in tercollegiate championship, says the Times. This growth of interest has been shown in the plans that are now being made to hold dual meets be- tween the various colleges, larger number being promulgated than has been the case in past years.
 Columbia and Yale were to have had ! meet last month. but the New Ha- ven fencers asked for more time, as their fencing team has just begun practice, and the date, therefore, has been postponed to January c. c. Gunther is manager of the Columbia team, and he has succeeded in arrang- ing meet with Cornell. which has been fixed for February IS, and one with the University of Pennsylvania, which will probably be held ill March
 Cornell and Pennsylvania have agreed to q dual meet and the Ithaca students have also requested the University Of Michigan to meet them in foil bouts.
 This demand for dual meets be tween the leading colleges has led those most deeply interested in inter- collegiate fencing to advance the pro- position of forming an intercollegiate fencing association. The membership at the start would be composed of Columbia, Yale. Harvard. Cornell. Pennsylvania and the Annapolis Ma val academy. The plan has met with favor from most of the fencers in the different colleges, and an effort will probably be made to effect an organi- Zation by the first of the coming year, II .-1..-
 pionships in the past have been held in this city, being invitation events either through the courtesies of the Fencers club or the New York Ath- letic club. With ] definite organiZa- tion the collegians believe that fenc- ing would acquire q greater intercol- legiate popularity

Holineux Must stand Second Trial.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Roland B. Molineux's motion to have quashed the indictment under which he stands accused Of having murdered Mrs. Kate T. Adams was denied yesterday by Judge Newburger in part 1, general sessions. The judge held that if the judges of the court of appeals had con- sideredF the indictment faulty they would have said so and ordered the liberation of the accused. Instead they ordered q new trial of the defendant under the old indictment. The alter nate motion of Molineux's attorneys asking for an inspection of the grand jury minutes was denied on the ground that Judge Blanchard had already ruled adversely on this point. Had Molineux's motion prevailed he would have walked out of the Tombs free man.
