TRAIN IN FURIOUS MOOD.
Again Positively Refuses to Eat Ol
 Drink.

Stamford, June 15.-George Francis Train, who has been isolated at the city pest house suffering from an attack of smallpox, has again become a source of worry to the physicians. He positively refuses to eat or drink anything and has not spoken a word since noon to- day and cannot be induced to do so.
 The trouble was caused by the efforts of the health authorities to disinfect the pest house preparatory to MT. Trains removal All the clothing of the patient was burned as was also a large number of letters and some man. uscript which had been written by MT. Train during his illness. During these proceedings MT. Train became furious. The physicians in charge say that MT. Train will be removed to the home of his daughter tomorrow morning. MT. Train, angry because of to-day's pro- ceedings, insists that he shall not make the trip voluntarily. The physicians have met this stand by announcing that the patient will be removed even if it is necessary to use force to carry out their plans. Meanwhile MT. Trains condition is not being improved by his refusal to take nourishment.

 Glen Cove.

Glen Cove, June 15-The ninety-foot- CTS, which were able to complete only one of the four races tried for off Sandy Hook last week. were more fortunate to-day, when the scene of their contests was transferred to Long Island sound. When the time came for the start of the race for the Glen Cove cups over the sound course the weather was clear, although occasional showers appeared, and there was splendid racing breeze from the north-northwest, blowing at the rate of twenty miles an hour, while the sound was covered with white caps. The nineties declined the issue, howev- CT, and did not leave their moorings, so the three schooners and half a dozen small sloops were the only ones to race. There was much disappointment, for there was every prospect of a fine test of the big sloops, and the disinclination of their owners to try conclusions in g. real racing breeze was the cause of much comment among those who had gone down to watch the race.
