NOTRACE YET OF
MISSING GOODSON
Friends Say He May Have
Jumped From Bridge or
Left Town.

Mystery still surrounds the strange
disappearance of Frank H. Goodson
whose hat and coat were found on the
nigh bridge on Wednesday night. The
relatives Of the man are at a. loss to
account for his peculiar action, for he
gave them no intimation that he in
tended to leave nor that he intended
to resign his position
He left the barn of the American
Express company on Grove street at
o'clock, having registered, according
to rule of the company. His hand
writing was perfectly steady, no indi-
cation of nervousness being discern
ible
Goodson, as driver for the express
company, had the West side and the
West Seventh street district as his
territory and daily crossed the high
bridge. 1t is possible that a thought
of suicide came to him through fire.
quently passing over the bridge that
has already been the scene of so MANY
tragedies. On the other hand, it is
said by some that if he had a desire
to leave the city and throw people off
his track his frequent passing over
the bridge might have suggested ttA
device Of placing his clothes there.
The fact that he left the barn at 7
O'Clock and that the clothes were found
on the bridge at 8:15 would seem to
destroy the theory that he had met
with foul play and that his clothes
were placed there to deceive the DO
lice. The short time intervening be-
tween the time he was last seen and
the time when the clothes were found
would not admit of the preparation of
crime and such an effort to con-
Ceal 1t.
The relatives of the man are still
unable to furnish a reason for his
strange actions. They say that his
home life was pleasant and that they
can see no motive for the deed which
he seems to have committed. The po-
lice are not working on the case.

Preliminary Order Is Passed
Over Mayors Veto by
Unanimous Vote = Matter
Has Yet to Go Through
the Board of Aldermen
and Board of Public Works
Before It Is Finally Set
tied.

BY a full vote the assembly last
night passed over Mayor Smiths veto
the preliminary order calling for the
crawling of Summit avenue, from
Dale street to the Mississippi river.
Not a voice was raised in protest or
any argument advanced either way.
Mayor Smith accompanied his veto
with a letter in which he said that he
held that the proposed Improvement
was unwise so far as it related to
that portion of the street between
Dale and Lexington avenue. This he
thought should be paved with some
material, reserving the use of gravel
if such was insisted on, for that por-
ton beyond LeXigton avenue. Anoth-
er argument advanced by the mayor
was that the petition asking for the
improvement carried the names of less
than one-siXth of the entire number
of property owners on the street.
Pride for one of the most beautiful
residence streets in the United States,
the mayor said, should influence the
property owners to want something
better than gravel.
The motion to pass the order de-
spite the mayors veto came from AS
lsemblyman Doran. Assembly Van
Slyke followed it with a second and
The vote was then taken. Not voice
was heard in opposition.
Present in behalf of the improve
ment was II. NJ. Stocking, a prominent
horseman, J. w. Cooper and others
and they did considerable lobbying
among the members prior to the meet
ing. ---'-...--'.
The order has yet to go through the
board of aldermen and what it's re-
ception there will be is not known.
After that the board of public works
must pass on it and on their decision
rests the future of the entire improve
ment. Should the members not think
it advisable or the hearing called fail
to disclose a sufficient number of prop
erty owners in favor of the improve
ment, nothing can be done.

TO ASK FOR MORE PAY.
CIGAR MAKERS UNION so VOTED
LAST NIGHT,

After Lengthy and Animated Discuss
sion of the subJect-They VIII Ask for
At a special meeting of the Cigar
Makers union, held last night at Union
hall, Orange street. the union voted
after a lengthy and animated discus
sion to ask for an increase of 81 per
thousand on all kinds of cigars. The
meeting was largely attended.
Prominent manufacturers said last
evening that if the men should demand
the proposed increase many of the
smaller meployers would have to aban-
don the manufacture of five cent goods,
as the margin of profit was so small
that they could not afford to pay the
men any more than at present They
said that the union men declare it pos
sible for the manufacturers to get $32
thousand for the goods that now
bring $50. This, they said, was not so,
as they had made canvass of their
customers and had found that they
We're unwilling to pay more for their
brands, and that nearly every proprie-
| tor in this city had done the same with
like result.
| The men who make the cheaper CT
gars earn srom SIS to $40 a week and
hvae steady employment. The better
hands are promoted to better paying
benches as fast as opportunity will al
| low.
1t was stated yesterday that in the
event Of the vote passing for the in
crease, some manufacturers would
probably have their five cent goods
made either in Boston or New York,
where the same cigars can be produced
| cheaper than in New Haven.
| Another prominent manufacturer said
| last night that the cigar makers in
New Haven already received bigger
pay than the cigar makers anywhere
else In this country received.

Thompson Seton as a lecturer is a
decided success. He was very late in
appearing before his audience last
evening, but for an hour and half
held the great audience spell bound by
his description of animal heroes. He
took the extreme position that animals
had large reasoning powers; instinct
was what it was once called; now it is
mind. He told of the gray wolves of
all countries; how they had terrorized
many peoples; how one famous in his
tory had at one time blockaded the city
of Paris. and another in the southern
part of France had finally required
the whole army o. France under King
Louis to conquer him. In this country
he said at one time gray wolves were

ated; but lately they had learned to

ELSA RuEGGER COMING.

One of the most attractive features Of
the concert, to be given on the 23rd by
the Boston Symphony orchestra, will
be the cello playing by Elsa Ruegger,
the Belgian 'cellst.
The fame of Elsa Ruegger is so uni
versal that she ranks at the age Of
twenty years among the greatest vir-
tuosi Of the world. Her artistic career,
the past six years in Europe and Amer
lea, has been a succession of veritable
triumphs. Her appearances VITA lead
ing symphony and other musical soci-
cites shows how much this admirable
artistic Is in demand.
Mile. Elsa Ruegger, who was heard
in America several years ago, when her
success was equal to any artists who
ever appeared in this country, is too
we'll known to the concert going public
to need any further comment.
Elsa Ruegger had the honor OF play
ing twice before their majesties, the
Emperor and Empress of Germany, In
their palace in Berlin and before the
Krcnprinz and his brothers; also before
the Queen of the Beigians, and was in
vited to play at the festival which was
organized to celebrate the seventeen
birthday of the Grand Duke of Baden.
When in England, she played before
their highnesses the Duke and Duchess
Of York, and in Russia before the
Grand Duke Michael the presumptive
heir of the Russian crown.
Miss Ruegger has been highly GIstn-
guished by all these royalties and pre-
sented with costly jewels, such as neck
laces, bracelets and brooches set in
diamonds and pearls.
