OUTBREAKS IN WATERBURY
RIOTOUS SCENES ABOUT THE
 STREETS LAST NIGHT.
Crowds of People in the Center of the City Surround the Cars Run by Nom uaion Men-StonIng on the Nauga- tuck Line-TorpedO Placed on Tracks A MOtcrman Arrested-Threatened tO Shoot.

Co Shoot.
 Waterbury, Jan. 30.-Riotous scenes about the streets made this the most exciting night since the strike of the motormen and conductors of the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting com pany began twenty days ago. Crowds of people surrounded the cars run by non-union men in the center of the city. while in the outskirts and along the line toward Naugatuck, the prog ress of the cars was marked by volleys of stones and in one instance a torpedo of large size was placed on the rail.
 The greatest trouble occurred on the Naugatuck line. Every one of the six or seven cars which was run over that line before 10 o'clock had some win dows shattered by stone -throWers. There were very few passengers on any of the cars and fortunately no one was injured. A car which reached Hope vile near the city limits shortly before 10 o'clock suffered the worst damage. At City corners, this car ran over torpedo which exploded with force enough to shatter nearly every pane of glass. The motorman and conductor were slightly cut by flying bits of glass but were no. severely hurt. There were no passengers on board. The car continued on the trip to Naugatuck, and on the way back encountered more trouble at the corner of Washington and South Main streets in this city. A crowd gathered about the car at this point, and the conductor, Gerald Mayne, thinking apparently that there was something threatening in the at- titude of the gathering, is said to have pulled a revolver and to have aimed 1t at some of those nearest the car. Two policemen. who say the conduc- tor threatened to shoot, stepped up to the car and put him under arrest. He was taken to the police station and locked up. A loaded revolver of 3S- calibre is said to have been taken away from him.
 Afterward the police captured Thomas Day, a boy of fifteen years, and took him to the lookup. He is said to have carried a pocketful of stones.
 In spite of the damage to the cars, they were kept running on the various lines up to midnight. Excitement abou the city was intense, and the main streets were damned with people who pushed close to each car as it came along, intent apparently upon as- certaining how it fared in it's trip out side the city.
 More non-union men arrived here this evening. Seventeen men in rail- road uniforms came in by the o'clock train and were escorted to the railroad company's car barns. wehere all the strike breakers are quartered. It is said that number of the non-union men who have been working for the company have been discharged recent 1y and the new men have come to fill their places.

 keceiptSa ...... ...... S56, 400 b0 Expensessg $39, ,3322. .65 Balance ....-...,.., BY .S0 President Fox explained that the ex- penditure of more than $16,000 for the erection of new seats for the football accommodations greatly increased the expenses. The total receipts are, how ever, record breakers, exceeding the. football receipts of any previous year in the history of the game at Yale. Of the $17,O0o surplus 5000 will be used toward defraying the expenses of the crew and track work, and the remain ing $S,000 will not be sufficientsto meet the expenses attached to the running of the Yale athletic field.

Chadwick, captain of Yale's victorious football eleven last fall, thenl nominated for president and manager of the association for the year of 1903 Herbert Chauncey Miller '04, of Bloom ingburg, N Y, and the election was unanimous.
