GRIP SMELLS DEATH RATE.
The Disease Has Proved Fatal in Nine
 Cases This Month.

The Disease Has Proved Fatal in Nine Cases This Month The death rate for January. 1901 promises to be large because of the griT epidemic and the prevalence of pulmon. ary troubles.
 For the first twenty-tw two days of this month there have been in this city nine deaths directly due to the grip Foi the same length of time pneumonia has claimed seventeen victims The total deaths from pulmonary troubles for the twenty-two days is thrtyfive. The total number of deaths from all causes in this city to date is 125.
 If the death certificates come in as rapidly during the remainder of th month as they have in the past the rate will be way up and perhaps make A record.
 The death rate for the month of Jan nary for several years past has been as follows;
 1900, 1s4; 1899. 17s; 1898, 147; 1897, 1SS; 1896, 131
 Nine deaths directly due from grip is a large rate for New Haven. A great many of the pneumonia cases developed from the grip, so that the disease is solely responsible for the large increase in the death rate.
 There is not so much grip on just now as there was earlier in the month. The health of the men on the police and fire department is guide to the grip cpl demic. The men are now in both de- partments nearly all on duty while ear Her in the month the grip kept them off a an alarming rate each day

THIRD SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Bushnell III and Miss Marguerite Hall
 Substituted.

1 SuDSlilulCu'
 The third concert of the symphony
 series took place at the Hyperion thea ! ter yesterday afternoon. The audience
 was large and the substitution of Miss
 Marguerite Hall for MT. Bushnell, who
 was i'll, possibly added to the interest of the programme. MT. Bushnell was i'll, and Miss Hall, who was last heard
 here in 'The Persian Garden when It was sung at Colonial hall. and who IS one of the most popular salon-singers in New York, took his place on very
 short notice. Miss Hall sang with her
 accustomed pleasing quality of voice,
 and evenness of style. She is always
 reliable artist, and although MT.
 Bushnell Is a favorite here Miss Halls
 presence lent novelty to the afternoon.
 She sang two of the new Sea Songs
 of Edward Elgar, the composer of Ca
 ractacus" and "The Dream of Geronti-
 us," one of the most promising oratorio composers in England to-day These
 songs are delightful little tone poems and the second of them, Where Corals Lie" was enthusiastically re-demanded. Later Miss Hall sang with plano group of early English songs Turn Ye to Me" and Come and Trip It." and Purcers familiar "Nymphs and Shep- herds'' These served to show the flexlbility Of Miss Halls voice and her singing won her another recall when she sang Schumann's "Fruhlngsnacht." David Smith played the accompani- ments of this group in sympathetic manner The orchestra played Beetho- vens first symphony. Moskowskis F major suite, and Goldmarks "Sakun- tala" overture. The symphony was not very smoothly performed. The bad in tonation or certain instruments In the woodwind choir was positively distress ing, and Professor Parker seemed de- pressed by the fact and conducted in- differently. This unfavorable start was atoned for by very good performance of the Moskowsh suite. The audience thoroughly enjoyed this number, and applauded heartily between each of the movements. Mir Guilford came in for especial approbation after his flute solo in one Of the variations. It was a creditable rendition on the whole, and 1t was most agreeable contrast to the symphony. The "Saleuntala" overture with its gorgeous coloring is one of Goldmark's greatest works and 1t was very we'll played, Naturally it lies be- yond the range of this organization, but its beauties were revealed as far as 1t was possible to do within the limita- tions. The men strove nobly, and Pro- lessor Parker worked conscientiously for the big climax. The programme as a whole was, therefore, enjoyable, and was with the exception of the sympho- ny one of the best that has been given.
 The next concert occurs on the after noon of February 21

AN EXPERT MOUsER.
A Barn Owl Proves Valuable in This OcCuDatiOn.

A Barn Owl Proves Valuable in This Occupation. It had been the general impression that about all owls were good for were to make goo goo eyes in the dark and hoot. It remained, however, for Polah in the employ of Charles Bulkley, oi Green Farms, to put this style of birG to practical use.
 The Polak, whose name is Louis, cap tured barn owl in one of the barns re- gently and held it captive. There are a number of pigeons in the barn, and il was upon these that the owl had been feasting.
 On Saturday William Bulkley had occasion to go into one of the barns which are very dark when closed up In the middle of the floor he saw Mrs Owl, with string tied to one leg, sit ting quietly, and around the bird was circle made of meal. Near by was a corn crib and near by also. in one of the carriages, was Louis, the Polak, watching operations. Quietness reign ed, and MT. Bulkley concluded to be- come an unobserved observer of opera tions
 Very soon out from the corn crib crept small mouse, which scampered toward the circle of meal, intent upon a hearty meal, and all unconscious of the blinker. The mouse nibbled away at the meal for few seconds, and at each nibble the owl blinked, and then came the climax. There was sudden stroke of the owls claw and the little mouse was among the hasbeens.
 This continued for some time, the owl considerably reducing the latest census of miceland.
 Later in the day the owl became very tired of fooling the mice, and fooled it's captor by escaping and has not been seen since. Louis is now looking for another owl, and has no use for cats.- Southport Chronicle.

 The cases came up last Monday, but were continued at the request of the counsel for the defense, and yesterday morning the continuance was taken by the state. Judge Bishop was unable to hear the cases and suggested that an other judge be called in but it was de- cided to wait until Judge Bishop could try it, and tomorrow was set as the time. Both the Pulkins are out on bonds.

The contest was over the posses sion of a share of the estate of Marietta Bailey, who died several years ago. San ger resided on Ferry street and was a reighbor of Miss Bailey. He claimed SS, 900 for services rendered to Miss Bail ey during her lifetime. He already had a note for $S,00O, but he claimed this as a gift and not as consideration for ser- vices rendered A committee of the st,- perior court allowed Sanger's claim, but several legatees claimed that they were not made parties to the action or given a chance to defend. Upon the applca- tion of these legatees the supreme court has ordered a new trial
