One in the Wrist.
rs A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: A man supposed to be Abraham
.Shambrom of 224 Commerce street, New
Haven, Conn, is dying in Bellevue hos
pital from two revolver shot wounds.
Early this morning some one passing
by the Royal hotel, 1856 Third avenue,
heard shots, Immediately after which a
woman ran from the hotel screaming.
"A policeman found the man uncon-
scious. The woman said that he first
fired at her and then shot himself.
There was o bullet wound in his head
and one in his wrist
+ Shambrom, who is junk dealer, lives
with his wife and two children at the
number given above They are Russian
Jews. The first floor is used as a
blacksmith shop. On the upper floors
from ten to fifteen families have their
homes. Mrs. Shambrom went nearly
crazy on learning the news from a re-
porter that her husband was dying.
A number of the neighbors succeeded
in quieting her and she left for New
York a few hours later. Shambrom s
business took him to New York about
once a month, and some times Mrs.
Shambrom went with him. This time
she was there three or four days and
reached New Haven early Wednesday
night. No cause could be assigned for
the act.

Evening-Great Success.
The bazaar at the First M E. church
was largely attended last evening de-
spite the inclemency of the weather.
1t was decided by the committee of

much as many were prevented from at
tending who would have been present
but for the weather, the bazaar will be
continued this afternoon and evening.
No admission will be charged to-day
and the church parlors will be crowded.
This bazaar is one of the most pleas
ing social functions ever arranged by

lors is inviting and very attractive. The
booths contain a supply Of Christmas
goods which find favor with young and
old and the sales this afternoon and
evening promise to exceed all eXpecta-
tons.

HOW KNOW SANTA CLAUS IS PA.
Twas the night before Christmas, when
me thought all asleep,
When stealthily from my bed stole,
at the tree to take a peep,
Then quietly through the hall most
carefully tread
When, suddenly, to my sorrow, I fell
on my head:
Down the stairs without stop l went,
bump, bump, bump,
On my head at each striking raised a
lump, lump, lump.
After rolling, and rolling, at the bottom
arrived,
Could not myself raise, though hard
had strived:
With my face on the floor, old Santa,
in his heat.
In the dark with a strap laid it hard
on my seat,
Then grabbed me by the collar; when
then did cry.
Oh! dear, dear Santa, this again shall
never try.
When senses to me returned. discov-
cred Santa was fake,
That all thinking him real were max
ing a great mistake,
From the way the blows were dealt
and position was in,
To convince me twas not father would
seem very thin.
For the sensations then impaired were
too realistic to me
To feel any other way than that Santa
was he. %*

YALE AND HARVARD.
Athletic Agreement Will be Signed
After Christmas Vacation

Athletic Agreement Will be Signed
After Christmas Vacation.
The athletic conference committees,
representing Yale and Harvard, are
again in communication and the
chances of reaching an athletic agree
ment to last for five years at least are
considered bright at Yale. Not the
slightest stock has been taken by Yale
men in the reports that Harvard was
about to cut out all athletic arrange
ments with Yale. At Harvard, Profess
sor Hollis denies that any such inten-
ton ever existed at Harvard and
classes the report as a malicious false
hood. From the standpoint of Yale
men who are at the head of Yale ath-
letics the long term agreement will be
reached and the agreement signed
shortly after the close of the Christ
mas vacation.

HALLINGFORD.

The sonw storm which started in yes
terday afternoon was not a welcome
visitor here, as majority of the folks
| had hoped that there was to be let
up, for few days at least, of winter
weather. But it seemed that they were
doomed to disappointment. The high
price and scarcity of coal here at pres
ent make severe winter weather very
unpopular.
| Judge by the prospects, it will be
! some time before the trolley cars will
run on Main street from north to south,
or vice versa, as there Is quite hitch
in getting in place the trolley wire,
which will not be put up until the tele-
| phone and electric wires are all put in
| position on the poles as all parties use
the same poles; and judging by the
work on the same, 1t will be some time
before the electric company will be able
to complete it's work.
The stormy weather last evening in
| terfered somewhat with the attendance
at the production of the opera 'Eris-
ella" but there We're sufficient num-
| Der present to fill all the seats and have
many standing up. The music and act
| ing were first-class and gave the best of
satisfaction.
I The hack drivers made q harvest out
of the stormy weather last evening in
carrying many to and from the opera
house.
Business in the factories is still rush
ing and it is almost an impossiblity in
some cases to fill the numerous orders.
There will be no let-up for another
week. and then it will not entirely cease
to rush. Some of the factories are fig
uring on only a short shutdown after
Christmas and will start up Iearly in
the New Year with plenty of orders
ahead.

New Faculties for Reaching the Pacific
Coast

The trans-continenta lines have been
making extensive efforts lately to i'm
prove their services to and from the
Pacific coast, the latest development
announced being that the Personally
Conducted feature of the Chicago &
Northwestern and Union Pacific
service is to be expanded and extended
to include personally conducted excur-
slons to the coast twice q week from
Chicago via Omaha, Denver and Salt
Lake City, in addition to the three
week now operated to the Coast via
Omaha and Cheyenne. This gives the
tourist a chance to enjoy the most
beautiful scenery thatsColorado affords,
the route being through Colorado
Springs. past Pixies Peak and via the
Royal Gorge, Glenwood Springs and
Salt Lake City. This, with the two
tours week via Cheyenne and Ogden
TO Sacramento. San Francisco and Los
Angeles and one week to Portland,
makes five from Chicago to California,
Oregon and Washington
This personally conducted feature
has expanded wonderfully in the last
few years. The service has steadily
improved, so that Pullman Tourist
sleeping cars have all the conveniences
OF the standard sleeper and are partic-
ul9rlly we'll adopted to the use of family
parties and those who desire economy
IN travel. With the low rates now in
effect to the Coast, this branch of the
service promises to be very popular
indeed. and will doubtless enable thou
| sands to visit the Coast who otherwise
would have been unable to go. These
thousands will include large percent
age OF people who hope to find on the
sunny slopes of the Pacific place
where life's hard struggle may be
made easier and where competence
may be gained with small investment
in fruit raising or some similar occupa-
ton; to which class is added the invalid
who finds in the far West the dry and
halmy air and sunshinv days that bring
health and strength that the East fails
to provide.
