TO come 10 our 'leagur'd tower;
Though yondcr the morning be low'r
ing red,
There's Death in the sunset hour"
Chorus
Lord Edward spoke;
Down-hearted and sad his gallant
veterans stayed
Fair Ellen leaned on cannon near,
In Tartan plaid alrayed.
There's cen spell on the bonny face,
The last look heavenward turning
And straightway like to a wrath
she rose,
Her eyne all darksome burning.
Fair Ellen:
"Oh haste ye haste to the rampant
high,
Look out i the misty cleaning.
Me thought / heard in the distance
far,
The march, the Campbells com
ing.
Oh list to the rolling sound of drums.
The Pibroch | hear them playing
We come for the sake of our olden
troth'
Oh list what the breezes are say.
ing,
We come for the sake of our oldem
troth'
The winds are softly saying"
Lord Edward:
"Ah Maiden, I wecn thou art sore
distraught,
Naught hast thou seen or heard
Save deep blue sky and yellow
And distant reeds by brcezes
stirred"
Chorus:
And the sun arose to his midda,v
height,
And the sun pass'd over the
heaven,
And nearer and nearer the last hour
| came,
And sadly the farewell was given.
i Fair Ellen stood with fixed look
And brightly her eyes were glow
ing.
Fair Ellen:
''The Campbells are coming, I told
you true,
l hear, | hear the buglc blowing,
The Pibroch is borne adown the
wind,
The tones on the breezes quiver
! Meath the tread of battalions that
hurry along
Afar the plains do shiver!'
Lord Edward
"Ah maiden, we listen and listen in
/ vain,
And fast the hours are flying,
The breach is wide, and the storm
is nigh,
There's Honour, Honour is dying.
Farewell then, wife and child at
] homel
And the Highland lochs and the
heather!
And now. for the last time. God
speed the shot,
Let your swords be unsheathed
together" .s..a
! Chorus
And the volley rang and the tight
was hot,
And the smoke hung thickly before
| them,
The colors droopd but Fair Ellen
rose,
And forward right boldly she
bore them.
! Fair Ellen
"Oh stay, oh stay, tis the pipes I
hear
The sound draws nearer and nearer.
| Ha! see there's a rent in the mist
And the sight grows clearer and
clearer!"
| Chorus
And they broke on the foe like
Highland storm,
| And nearer and louder he coming,
Far over the mist there sounded

STRIKE ON CONSOLIDATED
EIGHT HUNDRED MEN GO OUT WITHOUT SLIGHTEST WARNING.
The Trouble Caused by the Discharge of the Assistant Yard Master at Mott Iia- ment and Company Refused-strikers
 Include the Brakemen, Freight Hand-
lcrs and Switch men.

New York, Nov 1S.-Nearly eight
 hundred men, freight handlers and
 switchmen of the New York division of
 the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad, went on strike to-day. The reputed cause for the refusal of | the men to work is the discharge of the assistant superintendent, Robert Tur- ! bush, of the Mott Haven yards. The strike also materially affects the tug boat and float system of the railroad in | this city.
 John H. Turbush, general yardmas- ter, and brother of Robert Turbush, said tonight he did not know the cause of his brothers dismissal.
 Tonight officials of the company, in- cluding General Freight Agent J. w.. Wardrup and General Superintendent William Shepard, held a conference at Mott Haven. They were in session for some time and on adjourning none would have anything to say about the strike.
 The men also held meeting, but re- fused to give out any statement. Any statement we have to make,' said one, will be made in the form of a written communication to the company officials. We may send them a letter in the morning.
 General Freight Agent Wardrup said late tonight: "The strike was caused by the change in the position of assist ant yardmaster for the good of the ser vice. Robert J. Turbush was removed and J. A. Smith put in his place. The men, without the slightest warning, left their places They then held meeting and committee of five sent us com munication demanding the reinstate- ment of MT. Turbush. The company answered the demand by an ultimatum to the effect that if the men did not re- turn to work at o'clock tomorrow morning they would be discharged. We have men enough to handle the freight, milk and express trains, and we can soon find willing men. AS far as l know, the men have no other grieV- ance. They get $1.95 a day, which is more than any other railroad in the country is paying to men in these posi- tions."
 It was said tonight that the strike would probably extend to the freight wards at Oak Point and Van Nest and that all the men except the engineers would go out. It is said that recent discharges of several employees beside the yardmaster have added to the grievances of the men.

BRIG4NDS LOCATED.
MT. Dickinson Said to Have In for m ed
 Bulgarian Government.

Sofia, Nov. 19.-It is reported that MT. Dickinson, the United States diplomatic agent here, has informed the govern ment of Bulgaria that the abductors of Miss Ellen M. Stone and Madame Tsilka, with their captives. are conceal ed in a defile of the Belleritza moun- tains, near Smotchno, district of Dub- nitza, and has requested that troops be sent to surround the place and liberate the captives. Both MT. Dickinson and the Bulgarian foreign office decline to confirm or deny this report. Neverthe- less it is believed that Mr. Dickinson, persuaded of the impossibility of com- ing to terms with the brigands and re- lying on his belief that they will not harm their captives if troops are em- ployed against them, has, after con- sulting with Washington decided upon this more. Only eight bandits now guard Miss Stone and some of these are knokn to sympathize with her. About fortnight ago MT. Dickinson approached the foreign office and pro- posed this same plan, but it's carrying out was abandoned because of the un- certainty of the location of the bandits.

CROKER DBFlES OPPONENTS
DECLARES THEY CANNOT PROTE
 HIM DISHONES7.
Now That His Enemies Are in Power He Would Like Them to Try to Prove Their -Denouncos tho Att tacks of tho Clergy That He Has No Legitimate Business Lie.

New York Nov. 19.-Richard Croker leader of Tammany, broke his silence toward interviewers to-day and made a statement defying his political oppon ents He said.
 l Now that our enemies have the full machinery of government at their com mand and all the power and authority that is necessary I defy them to prove single assertion that they have made against me or to show that have made dollar dishonestly.
 If Tammany Hall had advocated | Sunday opening the newspapers would have pounded the life out of me. The very people who are now supporting the republicans would have condemned us. That includes the clergy. Yes, the clergy would have assailed us even more than they did if possible" Tt appears that he clergy is strongly opposed to you," said reporter.
 Yes" said Croker, but now they are in power and I defy them to prove what they have said against me. They have slandered me without reason. These clergymen have announced from
 
 l challenge them to prove it. They have said all along that never got dollar honestly-that I have no legiti- mate business. They know it's lie
 'All along the republicans, following the line of attack on me by the minis- ters in the pulpits, have charged me with all manner of crimes, every one of which is absolutely false. They have charged me with corrupting the police force and with making money out of the department. They have charged gamblers and saloons and dives. The charges have been broad enough for the ministry to make them good if they can. Now they are in power, let them try to make the charges good.
 They all cried through the campaign that the Tammany administration was rotten and corrupt. They evidently forgot that they had their own investi- gating committee down from Albany and what did they find?? Nothing. The city government is all right. Then then had the Merchants association make an investigation. Why didn't the association make report? Be- cause they found things all right. They did make one false report on the water department. That's all they did. Now l see the successful candidates. from the mayor down, are finding the city government all right They won't find anything wrong. Time will show. Only I wish the ministers would try to prove the charges against me-

FEAR FOR HARVARD STANDS
SPECIAL OFFICERS WATCHING
 THEM WIGHT AND DAT.
Threat Made by speculators Who Had Been Chased by Students-The New Stands Just Completed-Hsve Been Formally Inspccted-Thcir Seating Capacity About 36,0OO.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19.-Harvard is somewhat anxious tonight over the report that damage will be done to the big stands on Soldiers Field enclosing the varsity gridiron and the football management deeming it best not to take any risk has engaged special of- fice~s to patrol Soldiers Field day and night. The report although widely spread, is believed to have been started through needless threat during or af- ter an exciting chase by students of ticket spectators this afternoon. The undergraduates had agreed to stop as far as they were able, speculating in football tickets. Accordingly when a number O. men took stations at Ran dall Hall with the usual cry of ''buy, sell or exchange tickets" there was trouble ahead. Volunteers to drive out the speculators were called for and fully 300 undergraduates responded and drove the men out of the neighobrhood. Others who were warned away are said to have made threats.
 The new stands are finished and have been formally inspected by the Boston authorities The seating capacity is about 36,000.

Bank Failure Caused by Mistake.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 19.-The Metro- politan bank, P. V. Caesar president, closed its doors to-day after experience ing a run all day yesterday. The run began as the result of a misunderstood ing, the small depositors believing that a suit filed on Friday against the re- ceiver of the Metropolitan Savings bank, which failed five days ago, had something to do with the present Met ropolitan bank. About S4O,00O was with drawn yesterday, and to-day the bank applied for e receiver.

HARTARD'S PRACTICE.
More Encouraging Yesterday-stli No
 Protest from Yale.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19. - Har- yards football practice to-day was more encoura ging. The varsity scored five touchdowns and a goal from the field in two halves of thirty and fifteen minutes each. Marshall kicked a goal from just outside the twenty-five yard line.
 The game was played in a light snowstorm, but there was very little fumbling. Every man played except Campbell and Blagden, and these men went into signal practice. The line played too high, were slow and took things too easily. The defense was er- ratio and, like yesterday, the second eleven at one time advanced the ball twenty-five yards in the 'varsity's ter ritory.
 Fourteen coachers were out to-day eight in togs. Owing to the scare of spies yesterday number of upper class men to-day patrolled the field during the whole of the practice.
 Coach Reid said to-day that he had as yet heard nothing more from the much talked of protest from Yale.

JAMES M. TOWNSEND DEAD
PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT AT HIS
 HOME ON TOWNSEND AVENUE.

| gutshed Men -Ats Fine Career as n
 Public Official and as a Citizen-He | Had Been III for Several w ecks- Judge 1 William K. Townsend of the United | States Court Is His Son.
 The Hon. James M. Townsend, who had been sinking for the last few weeks
 at his home on Townsend avenue, pass ed away last night at 12 minutes of Il
 o'clock in his seventy-seventh year. Hon. James Mulford Townsend, sec
 ond son of William Kneeland Townsend,
 was born in New Haven January 20,

 Thomas Townsend or Townshend who
 settled at Lynn, Mass, In 1883. When
 his school days were over he began ac-
 tive life as clerk for the firm of Hook & Townsend, importers of cloths, New York, one of the partners being a. brother of his fathers, Returning to New Haven he was engaged for three years in the clothing trade as a mem Der of the firm of Knevals, Hull & Townsend, subsequently, Townsend & Maltby. Retiring from merchants life he engaged in banking, being secretary and treasurer and subsequently, presi- dent of the City bank, serving as such until the affairs of the concern were wound up in consequence of the repeal of the act of the legislature under which it had been organized.

 At later date he was chosen a d- rector of the Quinnipiack bank, in which corporation his father, grand father and great-grandfathe had been directors. The prominence of his con- nection with corporations and public 1 enterprises, other than banks Is shown | by the fact that he had served as a di rector and vice president of the Shore | Line railroad, director of the New Haven and Derby road, a director in ! and treasurer of the Gettysburg rail- | road Pa., director of the New Haven Clock company and at times had been | identified with other interests of like importance He was also a life director of the New Haven hospital manage ment and the New Haven Historical so- ciety.
 From his youth MT, Townsend had taken hearty interest in military af- ! fairs In 1S41, at the age of sixteen years, the records of that time honored organization showed that he became a member of the New Haven Grays. In IS4S he was elected captain and his on account of i'll health was accepted by General King. Says
