IN ANsONIA.

| Derby, March 27.-Ansonia's high wayman has met his match. Mrs. John D. Breunig proved herself last night as brave as the robber was and gave him a good beating. Women of Ansonia have been terror ized by the robber. They feared to go out at night He has worked with the greatest fearlessness. and during the past week has held up six women, whom he robbed.
 Mrs. Breunig has confectioneryst in the village. She is thirty one years old, five feet eleven inches in height and weighs 246 pounds. She carried the days receipts with her last night as she was returning home.
 In a dark part of the street she was confronted by the highwayman, mask ed.
 Hand over your money, and be quick about it." he ordered, gruffly.
 For answer Mrs. Breunig darted to the side of the walk, picked up heavy stone, and before the highwayman had guessed her intention her hand grasped him by the collar in a relentless grip. She dealt him stinging blow between the shoulders with the stone.
 He turned and made an effort to strike her. She held him from her and on his back and arms. He yelled with pain, and at last escaped by slipping out of his coat.

any kind that was not referred to th'
 Senate as it ought to be. The whol' question hinges on what the Sen
 ate considers it's rights in tht
 pass bill that will give them some
 matter of participating in action of the
 kind. Several of the senators in inter. views expressed themselves very for cibly as their rights to be heard and
 take part in point matters of the kind If the demand of the Senate is not
 needed unfortunate results may come
 to the constitutional convention resolu- ton.
 Mr. Freeman, the chairman of the | House committee stated that the Sen- ates action was arbitrary in his opin- ion and uncalled for. It is probable that the House committee will refuse to make any change and that the ques- tion will go to the House for action. | The Senate rejected several anti-trol- ley road bills yesterday and cleared the list of several important measures aim ed at the electric railways. | The bill providing that each electric road shall pay $10O for each passenger car and $50 for each freight car on troll l iCJ ioibo etS iIuuetl ldAGo lO lliS SldlG was rejected.
 The bill providing that each trolley road shall sprinkle the streets over which 1t runs was rejected.
 The bill >providing that trolley com panies shall construct vestibules and running boards on their cars was also rejected.
 The anti-foreign corporation bill aimed at the trolley trust in Philade- phia was summarily rejected by the Senate to-day It provided that-'the treasurers of all railroad companies should reside in this state and that their books should be open for inspec- tion to the state.
 MT. Burton said that the state had now every means to get all the returns necessary from the street railways and that the proposed bill did not make it any easier. It was bill prepared by one man and while not fought by the trolley companies, was not asked for. It was rejected.
 The judiciary committee reported un- favorably on the bill reducing the time of report of injuries on highways from sixty days to ten. Senator Kenealey said that the present time was none too long and the bill was rejected.
 Henry Donovan's bill, of New Haven, to further increase the tax on trolley companies in this state was rejected.
 Senator Burton said: This bill is a curiosity It does not mean anything and 1t has no character or force. I ask that it be rejected.'
 The bill increasing town clerks office from two to four years was rejected as was the bill increasing the salary of the superior court clerk. of Hartford.
 The bill eXemptlng from taxation buildings belonging to any county, city, town or borough when located in such confines was turned down by the com mttee on finance and by the Senate. Y The bill providing that convicts shall be hired out to labor on the highways in the towns from which they were sen- tenced was rejected.
 MT. Kenealey said that the indeter- minate sentence bill now under consid- aration would cover the point at issue. |

Will Resume Work on State Roads in
 Three Weeks.
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, March 25.--State Highway Commissioner James H. Mac donald stopped over in this city for a short time to-day. Asked if his visit possessed any public significance, he re- piled, NO, just stopped over between trains to say hello to Cowles." During his stay in this city he spent his time in the company of Streets Euperinten- dent Merle c. Cowles
 Commissioner Macdonald discussed state roads and said he believed work would commence this year on unfin- l ished work about April 15. There is an | important project now under way in this city, the construction of Telford road on Huntington road at a cost of fortyfive hundred dollars, of which the state pays two-thirds. This is only half finished. There is likelihood of the boundaries of the work being altered. It was originally intended to construct this road from Alpine avenue as far northerly as the appropriation will ex- tend. There is proposition to extend it southerly on East Main street.
 Asked about the bill providing for the expenditure of five hundred thousand dollars on state roads in Connecticut during the next two years, which is now pending before the legislature, Com- missioner Macdonald waxed enthusiasts tic. He said: That's a grand good thing, and I think it is going through. Why some of you ought to have attend-s ed that hearing. Three and four stood up at a time seeking an opportunity to speak in favor of it. No opposition at all Everybody favored 1t, and why shouldn't 1t pass. The idea is to expend two hundred and fifty thousand dollars each year. We want good roads III Connecticut and I think this legislature will provide for their betterment.

To Yale Football Candidates.

The management Of the Yale univer- slty football association have issued a warning to keep up to the required standard in their studies in order not tc cripple the squad by being dropped for that reason
 This warning is the outcome of the dropping of five students from the base ball squads who, in their eagerness to make the team, neglected their studies.
 The management also wishes to ad- wise members of the incoming senior and junior classes in the reelection of their electives to get no afternoon reel tations which would conflict with the afternoon practice at the field.

MOROCCO THREAT WITHDRAWN
The New York Ordered to Proceed at
 Once to Manila.

The New York Ordered to Proceed at Once to Manila.
 Washington, March 27.-Secretary | Long to-day cabled an order to Rear Admiral Rodgers, on board the cruiser New York at Tangier, to proceed at once with that vessel to Manila. This is an abandonment of the plan to have the New York convey United States Consul General Gummere from Tangier to Mazagan, in an attempt to collect American claims. It is the purpose of the state department to endeavor to adjust these claims and other .outstand- ing issues against Morocco without any show of force, and in the ordinary practice of diplomacy.
 The abandonment of MT. Gummere's special mission is said to be due to in formation that the grand vizier and the minister. of foreign affairs did not threaten to remove the sultan if MT. Gummere started for Morocco City, but that they merely informed MT, Gum mere that the sultan was contemplating a journey to Fez his religious capital; and it would not be convenient to re- ceive the consul at this time. MT. Gum mere will remain at Tangier and make his arrangements for a later audience with the sultan from that place
 The New York arrived at Tangier yesterday. If-is quie likely that she sailed with MT. Gummere before the or ders resembling the original instructions to the consul general, and to Admiral Rogers were received. In that event considerable difficulty may be exner- fenced in reaching MT. Gummere before he starts overland from Mazagan for Morocco City.
