WATERVlLLE.

People Would Like Waterville to Take
 Place of Norwood on Trolley Cars.
 Visitors in this place, who wish to take a ride to Waterbury are ofteu confused by the sign on the trolley cars which reads to ''Norwood." Why "Norwood'' should be on the car now is a connumdrum. Perhaps it is slight memorial of past times when the trolley line did not extend to Water vile. At any rate it would be better if the word Waterville was on the car instead of the word ''Norwood'
 The Jeffersons and the St Thomas Cadets will cross bats. at the local grounds tomorrow. Bowe and Slavin will be the battery for the Jeffersons. The managers of both hines should see that the game is started about 3 o'clock. Four o'clock is too late to start game.
 The regular services in the different church will be held at the usual hours tomorrow.
 Main street on the north side of the bridge in front of the property of T. NJ. Grilley is about four feet higher than the property adjoining. A guard rail or some protection should be plac- ed to protect people from falling down into the hollow or trench.

 At the present time there is con- siderable sickness among the residents or this section, especially among chii- dfen. This increased sickness is no doubt due to the recent long spell of warm weather. There is prevalency Of cholera infantum, that disease so fatal to the lives of children. Parents cannot be too careful in caring for their young children during the sum- mer months. Especially should they be careful in selecting the child's food. One of the local doctors attributes & large amount of the sickness in the summer time to the use of impure food. Too many persons are too fond of eat ing unripe and tainted fruit The article in the Dem- ocfaL on Thursday evening in regard to the fine spring water on Town Plot and to the advisability of building conduits to carry the water into the city water mains or to have a fountain erected on Washington Square, prom inent official in this section has the fol- lowing to say: ''The latter plan is a good one. A fountain in Washington Square before the Bank street school would present a pretty sight. But at the same time, I think it would be rather expensive. That is one objection to the plan. Again the people in other sections of the city might think that the residents of Brooklyn wanted all the improvements. We have had more than our share of the improvements during the present administration. But as to the plan, I regard it in a favor able light"

CHANGES IN YALE BUILDINGS.
North, Lyceum and Treasury to Come Down-South Middle to be Moved.

North, Lyceum and Treasury to Come
 Down-South Middle to be Moved
 With the tearing down of Old North and Lyceum, which is now going on, al of the Old Brick Row, at Yale, except South Middle, will be erased from the campus map, leaving, with the excep- tion of the treasury a broad expanse of lawn between the buildings that flank the sides of the square. Treas ury will be torn down the latter part of the summer. It is proposed to move South Middle from the position it now occupies, and has occupied since 1763, to the exact center of the campus, about where the treasury now stands, and to keep the old building intact for the rest of it's natural life. When it was proposed three years ago to wipe out old South Middle as we'll as the rest of the Old Brick Row to make room for the new campus, there was a great hue and cry among graduates, and it was proposed then by wealthy graduates that the building be removed from the campus and saved on another site. This plan has not been set aside for the one mentioned, ana next sum- mer, it is said, will see South Middle placed on new site. Next summer it is also proposed to begin the changes planned to make the college campus part of the university series of squares. An archway will probably be cut un- derneath Durfee college, on the Elm street side of the campus, so that a central walk will stretch from Chapel street to Grove street. distance of three blocks, which will in time be fill ed with university building and cam puses.
 The old lyceum cupoia, erected ill 1903, has been removed by Treasurer Tyler to his summer home in Pine Or chard, where it has been set up as a pagoda on a bluff overlooking the sound.

ENDOWMENT RANK, K. OF P.
The Supreme Lodge of the Order Will
 Protect Certificates.

I
 There are in Connecticut nearly 10,- 900 members of the Endowment rank, Knights of Pythias, who have been awaiting with great interest the action of the Supreme lodge of the order ID the matter of the deficiency 1n the funds of the Endowment rank. The vote of the Supreme lodge, on Thurs day. to hold itself responsible for all debts of the Endowment rank, and to stand behind and protect every bene- ficial certificate, and guarantee prompt payment of the claims, will be re- lief to many members who have been contributing to the fund of the rank.
 The examination and disclosure of the actual condition of affairs came none too soon. In 1891, 1896 and 1898 the accounts of the Endowment rank were examined by the Illinois insur- ance department That the conditions should have been reported satisfactory is most remarkable, to say the least, since it is not surprising that there are many who credit the rumor that the character of the reports was improper ly influenced by the. officials of the En- dowment rank. One rumor is that the sum of $3, 300 was used to good effect in covering up deficiencies. The new Illinois commissioner, Mir Yates, who came into office last May, naturally found himself somewhat embarrassed by the fact that his department had OH three different occasions approved accounts which were unquestionably "doctored' Arrangements were made, however, whereby the rank agreed to request an examination of the Illinois department, and that the Connecticut department be participant. The Connecticut insurance department, in fact. had previous knowledge of some thing wrong in the accounts, and as many Connecticut men were financial ly interested, Commissioner Scofield moved in the matter in line which resulted in the examination, and the unfayorable disclosures published in the Times of last Monday. The actual work of examination in behalf of the Connecticut department was by Actu- ary HawIey, who spent several weeks in Illinois, and he and the other off cials agreed upon the figures which have been published.

PRISONER TO GO FREE.
Woman Serving Term in State Prison
 for Manslaughter.

for Manslaughter.
 Mrs Florence Hawley will soon be released from the state prison. She was sentenced from Fairfield county for nine years for manslaughter. She has been a model prisoner and her good behavior earned IS months off her sentence. Mrs Mary Munson of Shelton lived with John Hawley, and Mrs Hawley became insane with jealousy over her husbands conduct with the woman.
 The testimony showed that the two took part in the murder. The hus- band shot Mrs Munson and was goad- ed to do the act by his wife. She fin- ished the work by splitting the wo- mans head open and hacked the body to pieces. Hawley was sentenced to life Imprisonment. The murder was committed ill 1894.
 One jury found the husband guilty of murder in the second degree. An other jury found the woman guilty of manslaughter. Hawley is still i'll the prison.

TROUBLES OF HASNA's SON.
His Divorced Wife is Making it Very
 Hot for Him.

Hot for Him.
 Cleveland, O., July 13.- When Dan Hanna, Senator Mark Hanna's only son, was divorced by his wife, May Harrington Hanna, three years ago, the courts gave her liberal alimony and the custody of her three children, and charged Dan with the support of the children until they shall become of age.
 Mrs Hanna spent last summer in Europe with her three little boys. When she returned to Cleveland she sent bills of $9,851 to her former hus- bands lawyers. These bills repre- sented the children's share of the ex- penses of the European trip. Dan re- fused to settle, claiming that while he was ready to clothe, feed, educate and amuse the children, he did not favor trips abroad for them. Mrs Hanna filed suit for the amount and this suit is still pending.
 Hanna recently learned that his for mer wife was planning another Eu- ropean trip and he appealed to the courts. He secured temporary in- junction forbidding Mrs Hanna from taking the children out of the country before the advisability of appointing a guardian for them could be passed. Sheriff Barry went to Mrs Hanna's home in Prospect street to serve the paper. Servants met him at the door and blocked him. While long par Icy was going on Mrs Hanna and her three children escaped through the rear door and took train for New York.
 New York, July 13 Mrs May Har- rington Hanna, the divorced wife of Dan Hanna, who successfully eluded process servers in Cleveland Thurs day, arrived in this city yesterday ac- companied by her three sons. She was dressed in q blue tailor-made gown. Her right arm was i'll a sling and though she did not say so, it is be- lieved that she injured herself by climb ing a fence back of her residence in Cleveland to avoid a deputy sheriff. She refuses to admit her identity to re porters. Mrs Hanna was also accom- panied by a young woman dressed in mourning. A young man was at the Grand Central depot to meet She party. Mrs Hanna, the children and the strange young woman, took a cab to the Savoy hotel, where they registered as Baroness d'Palland, Cleveland , Mrs k. W. Jones, family and maid, Boston," They were assigned to four rooms on the parlor floor.
 The hotel clerk refused to send cards to the room.
 
 Cleveland, O., July 13.-Judg. Dis sette of the common pleas court yester- day afternoon appointed Senator NJ. A. Hanna guardian of the three children of his son, Dan k. Hanna, by the lat ter's divorced wife. The action was taken as the result of an injunction is sued Thursday, prohibiting Mrs Hanna from removing the children from the Jurisdiction of the Cleveland courts. She. however, learned of the issuance of the injunction and with the children left the city for New York before the papers were served upon her.

Cox's DEATH AN ACCIDENT.
COrOner's Jury ExOnerates the Ele-
vafOr Conductor.


vafOr Conductor.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook held an in
quest at Soldiers Home today for the pur-
pose of making inquiry into the death OF
Charles Cox, an old soldier, and an inmate
Of the home, who was found beneath the
elevator in the King building at the home
Sunday afternoon with injuries about his
head. He was removed to Barnes Hospital,
on the home grounds, but died almost i'm
nlediately thereafter.
The coroners jury was composed Of the
following: DR.. James e. Gessford, Messrs.
Harry Moran ST.: Harry Moran, jr.; Frank
E. Kirby, William G. Elmer and Theodore
Hiser.
The verdict rendered was that the said
Charles Cox came to his death about 1
pm. Sunday. December 10, 1901. at the
King building, United States Soldiers
Home; that his death was due to concus-
sion Of the brain, the said injury being
caused by the said man falling against the
concrete floor in the elevator room.
1--WE find further the mans death was
accidental, but that his body was found in
the said elevator room, which was sup
posed to be a private room, and further
that the elevator man was intoxicated at
the time. We, therefore, recommend that
specific rules be inaugurated relative to
the management of this elevator"
In the testimony the deceased was shown
to have been imbibing, and that he had
just lell tne HoSpildl anu WAS III d leeole
condition. He and Leech, the elevator man,
had been together the morning Of Sunday,
December 10. but Leech, the elevator man.
could not remember whether they drank
together or not. Both, be admitted, had
had drinks, but not in the room.
Leech stated that Cox remained In his
room from about 10 o'clock until 1890 that
morning and Had then left. He did not
see the deceased again. At this time Leech
stated that Cox could stand, but staggered
in walking. rg
Leech supposed Cox had entered his room
while he had been absent from it for about
ten minutes, and on returning had answer
ed call. From that time the elevator did
not come down to the basement floor.
1t is supposed that the dead man struck
his head against obstruction, and fall
ing to the floor, received the injury, and
that in his weak condition 1t had proved
fatal.
Leech was dismissed, following the jury's
verdict, from custody.
