ROCKVILLE WOMAN DYING.

Rockville, July 22.-About , o'clock Saturday morning, as Joseph Quinn of High street came outdoors, he found Miss Mary McVeigh lying on the ground in an unconscious condition. He hastened to the freightyard, short distance away. and notified her broth CT, Francis McVeigh, who is night watchman there. Mir McVeigb carried his sister to her room and called pr O'Loughlin, but she was past medical aid and died shortly afterwards. 1t was found that she had either jumped or fallen from the window on the third story into the back yard, receiving q broken leg and internal injuries which caused her death. Since about two years ago. when she, had q shock, Miss McVeigh had been ailing, and as Mir Mcveigh had to be away nights, he had engaged Mrs Byers to stay with her during his absence. The latter says she spoke to Miss McVeigh at about 4:3O, after which she fell asleep. It is supposed that the accident 1 happened about o'clock.

CHANGES AT STORRs.
Four Professors Have Been Asked to
 Resign their Positions.

Storrs, July 22.--It has been expect ed that shake-up in the faculty at the ConnecticutfA Agricultural college would take place before the Commencement of another college year and just that took place at q meeting of the trustees held Julya11. The members of the fa- 1 cHlty on whom the axe of decapitation fell were the following:
 | Nelson S. Mayo M. S. D. V. M.. pro- lessor of anatomy, physiology and vet elinary science
 Henry A. Ballau, assistant professor of forestry, botany and military sci ence. T Ell
 l Thomas D. Knowles, instructor in English, mathematics, history and phy- sical culture.
 I Charles E. Myers, instructor in farm accounts and business methods. and secretary of the faculty.
 Moreover, the purpose of President fllnt to drop agriculture to a sec ondary position in the curriculum is emphasized. It was as an agricultural institution that the school was estab lished by Augustus Storrs in 1881 and 1t was as an agricultural institution sAAetS ie AuAO 1Nletiill lO tAc lnCOIue IFOQ the national government, previously re ceiyed by Sheffield Scientific school un der the act of congress in 1862, entitled "An act donating Public Lands to tn, several States and Territories whicl may provide colleges for the benefit O Agriculture and tie Mechanic Arts.''
 The legislative act establishing tn school, in 1881, provided for .the edu cation of boys * In sucl branches of scientific knowledge a shall tend to increase their proficienc, in the business of agriculture
 The act establishing the college il 1893, reads: 'The leading object of sai, college shall be, without excluding otll CT scientific and classical studies, an, including military tactics, to teach sucl branches of learning as are related t agriculture and the mechanic arts.''
 While these and perhaps others o the faculty also would not have bee surprised if their resignations had bee asked for, their popularity with tn entire body of the students warrante them in believing that there would a least be no changes in the faculty tn present year. It is difficult to get il formation as to the exact facts in tn case. The deposed members of tn faculty who are at present in the stat refuse to make any statement regart ' ing the matter, as some of them al T still in hopes that pressure may | I brought to bear on the trustees whic
 will reinstate them either i'll their ol positions or in some other, yet they a
 feel that the die is cast and that The
 must find places elsewhere.

FATHER CURTIN's PLAIN TALK.
To Young Women Who Make Pfac-

To Young Women Who Make Prac-
 tice of Staying Out Late Nights.
 At the last mass at St Francis Xa- vier's church yesterday Father Curtin gave short sermon upon recreation and amusements which he said was in tended principally for young women who make a practice of staying out late nights. Boiled down, he said what he desired to say might be crowded into very few words. Keep out of the woods" Father Curtin talked plain about young people remaining at places of Amusement even until the last car had left and then starting for their homes accompanied by men who never had any religious training in their own families and who managed to keep so far away from the church that it had no opportunity of exercising any in f1uence over them. He regarded them as brutes, morally speaking, and want ed to know what mothers were think ing of when they allow their girls to remain out until all hours of the night ln such company without making all effort to put stop to the business. He ridiculed the statement some women make regarding the ability of their daughters to look out for themselves Ill any kind or company and considered that much of the scandal that comes to | families could be traced to this silly notion. He referred to the clamor for additional turn outs and switches in order to accommodate the rush of the youth of the city to places where night amusements are conducted and stated that switching would come later I which would mean a great deal to some of our young people and those who
 have an interest i'll them. It was a l practical talk and must have opened
 the eyes of. some of his hearers to the
 ;:etd of exercising a little more v:yi
 lance over the movements of the.r chil
 dren.

SEVEN BOYS ESCAPE.
Fastened Rope to Flagstaff on State
 School at Meriden.

Meriden, July 22.-Seven inmates of the Connecticut School for Boys made their escape yesterday. Their ages range from 12 to Is. As far as known they had no particular reason for run ming away other than that they want ed their liberty.
 While working in a room for hos pital purposes one of the boys broke the lock on Friday. He notified six others and they made their escape by means of the roof early yesterday morning, a few minutes after mid night. They reached the roof from the room where the lock was broken and they descended by means of a rope fastened to the flagstaff.
 The night watchman discovered their absence in two minutes from the time they left and he reused several of the keepers. They gave chase, but could not locate the boys.
 It is supposed that the boys went in a southerly direction and it is thought they will try to reach New York. This is the largest bunch of boys that has escaped from the institution for some time.

CONSPIRACY PROVED.
Organizer 1glesias Tried in Porto Rico Severe Sentence Imposed.

Severe Sentence Imposed
 SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, Dec. 13.- Santiago Iglesias. president Of the Fed eration of Workmen of Porto Rico, to- gether with nine companions. has been tried in the district court of San Juan on a charge Of conspiracy, and Iglesias was sentenced 10 three years, four months and eight days imprisonment. Seven of his companions were sentenc- ed to four. months Imprisonment. while two were acquitted of the charge of be- ing the founders of an illegal associa ton and conspiracy in August. 1900, to raise the price of labor in Porto Rico.
 .Iglesias, as the founder of the con spiracy, gets the heaviest sentence. The other men were merely his associates in the crime. Under Spanish law, which is still in force here. persons convicted of 2 crime have to pay the costs. The local Federation of the Workmen of Porto Rico, which is now part of the American Federation of Labor under the presidency of Samuel Gompers. has been ordered dissolved. as it has been adJudged illegal because of this con- spiracy.
 Mr. Savage, judge of the district court, dissented as to the illegality of the local federation, although he agreed that Iglesias vas guilty of conspiracy to raise the price of labor Aug. l, 1900, when the currency of Porto Rico was changed. At that time nearly all the merchants and employers here raised their prices from pesos to dollars, an advance of 40 cents. IgleSias did the same, contending he only raised wages in proportion to other increases. This constitutes the conspiracy.
 The case has been appealed to the supreme court of Porto Rico, where it will probably be heard in a month Pending this appeal Iglesias is at lib. erty.
 Since Iglesias has been here as the local organizer of the American Feder- ation of Labor he has been continually attacked in circulars and threatened by certain Republicans who oppose his plans. Last Tuesday night these Re publicans fired several shots at the building of the federation. The police searched the rooms of these men for arms. but found nothing. The men who fired these shots have not been ar rested. Iglesias has petitioned Govern or Hunt. citing reported assaults upon his men and asking for protection. 1eIesias said:
 If the laws of Porto Riea are made quate to punish these offenders, if cannot continue my work of American izing Porto Rican laborers unmolested, please inform me, so that can return to. the United States, abandoning this country and my mission here.y
