DECISION FOR CONSOLIDATED.
Damage Suit Growing Ont OF the Lopg
Hin Wreck.


New York. Nov. IA jury in a dam
age suit brought against the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company by William C. Crane, admin
istrator Of Joseph P. Connolly, brought
in a verdict to-day in favor, of the COM
pany. The sui: was brought to recover
S25, 600 damages for the death of Con-
molly, who was a brakeman and who
was killed in a collision between two
freight trains near Long Hill, Conn, on
September 80, 1901. The collision was
caused by the forgetfulness OF one of
the engineers, who had. it was testi-
fed. been required by the company to
work continuously for so long a time as
to completely exhaust him, both physi-
cally and mentally. Evidence was CIV
en- to show that this engineer had been
continuously on duty, day and night,
from o'clock on a Friday afternoon
until o'clock on the following Monday
morning, when the collision occurred
a period of sixty-one hours-in the
course of which he had been able to
snatch only six hours and fifteen min
utes of sleep. The engineer lost his
right hand in the collision. -..
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company in defend
ing the suit raised the technical point
that damages could not be recovered,
because Connolly was an employe of
the company and the collision resulted
from the negligence of a fellow en-
ploye. The case was tried in the su-
preme court before Justice Gildersleeve.
Counsel for the plaintiff gave notice of
an appeal

AGAINST VACCINATION LAW
FIGHT FOR ITS REPEAL TO BE
MADE.
The Matter to be Carried 10 the General
Assembly at the Coming session-Ds-
cision Reached at the Meeting of the
State Anti-vuccination League in
Hartford Yesterday.

Hartford, Nov. 7.-At the coming ses-
sion of the general assembly an at
tempt will be made to have all laws
compelling vaccination repealed.
This announcement was made this
morning at a meeting Of the Anti Vac
cination league of Connecticut held at
Hotel Hartford and presided over by

Britain, Henry Bissell. the Rev. A. ].
Culver and the Rev. DR.. G. S. Bullock
of Stratford, pastor Of the Neighbor
hood church.
II was decided to wait until after
noon for the regular business meeting.
There was much informal talk by the
gentlemen present, relating to the evils
of vaccination. A number OF cases
were cited, showing where irreparahle
damage had been done to the health
of vaccinated persons. 1t was sug
gested that the name of the league be
changed to the Anti-Compulsory Vac
cination league, so as not to place the
league in total opposition to vaccina-
tion. This suggestion met with ap-
proval. The organization which will be
completed this afternoon will aim to
reach every town In the state, securing
names OF petitioners to the general as
sembly for the repeal of the law COM
pelling the vaccination of all school
children.
At the afternoon session Dr. Ripley.
of Unionville, and e. P. Hitler, of Hart
ford, were present in addition to those
who were present at the morning ses-
sion Plans for prosecuting the leagues
work were discussed. The membership
of the league is now eighty-six in Wa
terbury Stratford has about one hun
dred. Norwich, New Britain, Bristol,
South Norwalk Milford and other
places have large numbers who are OPP
posed to compulsory vaccination.
On motion of Mr.. Perry, of Nauga-
tuck it was decided to perfect state
organization. It was decided to call the
organization the Connecticut Anti
Compulsory Vaccination League. The
officers of the temporary organiza ton
were made permanent, as follows: Pres
ident, DIR. s. B. Mum, of Waterbury;
first vice president, DIR. e. M. Ripley,
of Unionville; secretary, DIR. c. S. Bull
lock, of Stratford; treasurer and cor
responding secretary, l.. w. Anderson,

THE MASON CASE.
Several Striking Details tm the DevoIOp-
ments Yesterday.

monts Yesterday.
Boston. Nov. TN the developments
of the day in the Mason case, which has
PUZZLED the police Of Boston since Miss
Clara A. Morton was struck down and
killed in Waverley street last Saturday
there are several striking details. No
further evidence, however, has been ad-
duced which tends to incriminate in the
case Allan G. Mason, the member of
prominent family who is under arrest
on the charge of murder. In fact, the
police are inclined tonight to the be-
lief that Mason stood out clearer in the
the light Of an innocent man, because
of the failure of Joseph Nemser, the
West End jeweler, to identify Mason as
the man who had offered for sale Miss
Morton's watch last Saturday night.
An important detail in connection
with the disposal of the watches was
the establishment tonight that the sig
natures on the checks kept on file by
the ieweler in identification of the per-
sons who offered him the articles, were
written by one and the same person.
This confirms the story that the two
women were murdered by the same
man.
Another late incident was the arrest
tonight at Watertown of young mu-
latto on suspicion. He was brought
here but JeWeler Nemser failed to iden-
tify him. The man was released.
So serious has the case become that
Govrnor Crane has interested himself
and looked over the scene of the mur-
der while on visit to-day to Waverley.

FIR ENCH HIDING MULLAH.
British Unable 10 Prevent Smuggling o1
Arms Over Frontier.

Berbera, East Africa, Nov. 7.--Colonel
Swayne, formerly British commander
in Somaliland, who started for England
to-day, is i'll.
General Manning, who succeeds Col
onel Swayne, is pushing the prepara-
tlons for an advance against the Null
lah, but he is hampered in his efforts
by the fact that the country has so few
resources and the consequent necessity
of awaiting supplies.
The Mullah has advanced to within
few miles of Bohotle. He is known
to have 1000 rifles, one Maxim gun,
much ammunition, fifteen thousand
spearmen and immense reserves of
camel and sheep at his command Bo-
hotle is well garrisoned and has ample
defences. Guns are instantly carried
to the Mullah through French territory
and the British are unable to prevent
the practice.

THE VENEZUELAN N REVOL LUTTON.
Disagreement Among Rebels Alleged
Collapse of Movement Talked or.

La Victoria, Venezuela, No. News
has been received here concerning the
retreat of the revolutionary forces. 1t
is to the effect that on the night of
November l the revolutionists withdrew
from the positions near La Victoria and
San Mateo because they were without
ammunition. The fact that the rebels
lacked cartridges caused a disagree
ment between General Matos and Cen
eral Rolando, which was followed by
hot words. General Rolando declar-
ed that the shortage of ammunition was
the fault of General Matos and that If
the success of the revolution was en-
dangered by this condition General
Matos alone was responsible. He said
that all was lost and with his followers,
about 5000 men, he withdrew from the
main body of the rebels IN the direction
of Alta Gracia. 1t is reported that
General Rolando proclaimed "El Mo-
cho" Hernandez as the leader of the
revolution.
President Castro, since he discovered
that the revolutionists only retreared
because of their absolute lack of ann
munition has caused them to be pursued
day and night by government soldiers.
The latest report issued by the gov
ernment says that Generals Matos
Mendoza and Riera and their COM
mends are fleeing in disorder in an eff
fort to reach the mountainous districts
These generals are supposed to be near
Barrera, q point twelve miles from the
lake of Valencia.
It is difficult to understand the ap-
parent sudden and complete collapse of
the revolutionary movement, but few
days ago the rebels seemed to be upon
the eve Of victory, while to-day their
cause seems absolutely lost.

Freight Cars Saved by an Engine
Pulling Them Out from the Yard
Two Bsrges Taken Into Mid Stream.
Fire at . o'clock this morning COM
pletely destroyed the extensive manu-
facuring plant of the E. A. Chatfield
company, which extends from 22S to $50
Boulevard. Tie alarm was sent i'll
from box 12S at the corner of Grant
and Plymouth streets and it was quick
ly followed by the second alarm. When
the department arrived all the build
ings were ablaze and the saving of
them an impossbility.
The wind was blowing very strongly
and quickly famed the flames over the
acres of buildings, reducing the entire
mass 70 ashes.
There were seven loaded freight cars
on side track running into the center
of the yard, but a freight engine was
quickly despatched from the railroad
yards and drew them away just in time
to save them from destruction.
The dock caught fire, and it was only
by the most determined work on the
part of the firemen that it was saved.
There were several hundred bundles of
laths stored on this dock and two large
barges loaded with coal tied up to 1t.
The barges were pushed out into West
river by means of poles and saved from
destruction. although their decks were
covered with sparks.
The watchman discovered the fire and
rung in the alarm. He first tried to get
to box 1876, the company's private box
but was unable to as the entire build
ing in which II was located was In
flames. In attemting to get to this box
he was somewhat burned. He then
went to the Grant street box. The
builiing in which the engine room was
located was first found in flames, but
in less than ten minutes the entire west
wing was ablaze.
The buildings were Of wood the sides
alone being covered with sheet iron.
This made the fire harder to fight as it
made an excellent draught for the
flames. The iron plates becoming red
hot fell from time to time. making it
dangerous work for the firemen. The
cause of the fire is not known at this
time, but might have been from the
sparks of a passing engine. The E. a.

bricks, tiles, cupola and brass furnace

Cornell will be warmly welcomed at

their professional coach, Mr.. Courtney,
which he enjoyed upon the occasion of
his visit. Mr.. Courtney's attitude to-
ward the Leander club has not been
forgotten, and it need not be forgiven.

that is required and everyone will wish

some RADICAL DEPARTURES
TO BE EMBODIED IN BUILDING
OF SHAMROCK III.
These Changes Due to an Accidental
Discovery Made During the Trials of
Lipton's First Two Yachts-watBon

mental Error i'm Construction of All
Recent ChaIIengers.

Glasgow, Nov. THE Associated
Press understands that in the Sham
rock III. will be embodied some radical
departures in the matter of yacht con-
struction which have not appeared in
any previous challenger. These
changes are said to be due to an acci-
dental discovery made during the trials
of the Shamrock I. and the Shamrock
IL. which convinced Designer Watson
that there had been fundamental err
ror in the construction Of all the re-
cent challengers. This discovery was
made too late to admit of the remodel
ing of the Shamrock H., but when its
nature was explained to Sir Thomas 1t
had great weight in deciding him to
try for the Americas cup third time.
Both Designers Fife and Watson are
convinced that they possess solid data
upon which they will now be able to
build a yacht superior to any previous
cup racer. They are certain that they
have evolved an idea which affects the
whole theory of the propulsion Of sail
ing yachts.
