HUNTERS BODY FOUND.
weapon Supposed to Have Been Dis charged While Clubbing . Fox


 southington, March 30.-The body of William Hall, the young hunter who had been missing since Thursday. No. vember lS, was found about noon yes 1erday In an open swamp on the farm or Ebenezer Baker, about a quarter of mile north of the road known as spring street. George Dutton and Fred and Frank Meeker, sons of John Meeker, West street farmer while out for a stroll, made the discovery. About twenty feet away were the head and belt of a gray fox and the young mans gun. The body, badly decom- posed about the head, rested on its pack, the legs somewhat elevated on a stone. One hand rested beside the body, the other covered hole through the left breast of the hunting jacket. showing where shot had entered the heart.
 Dr Steadman is of the opinon that after wounding the fox, young Hall started to club 1t to death with the gun, in order to avoid injuring the pelt with another charge of shot and that in this manner the gun, which showed two empty shells, was discharged and the contents struck him and caused his death. The small hole in the breast indicates that the muzzle of the gun was very. close to the body when the gun was discharged. The gun. dou- ble- -barreled Remington, was badly rusted. owing to exposure. The brown canvas hunting suit was bleached white.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Recommended That Several Cross walks Be Ordered-Laid.


 Mayor Kilduf and the board of pub- aic works started on an outing Satur- day afternoon intending to cover a wide field, but the downpour of rain forced them to flee for shelter before they had been out long enough to do much. The first place visited was the corner of Prospect and West Main streets, where the hotel committee has asked for change of grade for some distance along Prospect street. It was voted to request the engineer to prepare plan showing change of grade in that street from West Main street to point about opposite the rec tory of Trinity parish.
 While the board was looking. over the ground the Rev Mir Buckley ap- peared on the veranda of the rectory and said that he hoped the board was thinking of Installing an electric light there. adding that they needed more light there very badly. Commissioners Blakeslee replied that he was some what surprised at this, because he thought the EpiscopaIians had all the light they needed. The rector laughed at the joke and then explained that they had an abundance of light Sun- days, but not enough during the week evenings. He said that there is a good deal of bad work going on about their church in the night time which he should be pleased to put stop to. and that he knew of no better plan than to turn on the light.
 With reference to the application Tor the change of name of George street from Bishop street to the angle 10 that of Hawkins street, 1t voted to recommend that public necessity and convenience require that George street. so-called, be laid ont to the end of the passway and that it be known for it's entire length as George street. Con- tractor Contaidi is now at work laying sewer in the street.
 It was voted to recommend that crosswalks be ordered laid at Hawkins and Pearl street and at Adams and Pearl streets; also at Grown and Bea- con and at Aetna and North Main streets. 1t was voted to cite in pron- erty owners on Branch and Grant streets on April 21 to be heard relative 10 laying sewers. Division street neo- pie from North Main to waT street so-called. will be heard regarding the laying of curbing on April 2s.
 I me petition of the Chase Rollina NH 70 asking that portion of Vine street be discontinued aroused some curiosity. When the board visited the place they found the street discon- unued and securely fenced in. The board was thinking what kind of mo. ton would fit the case when it started to rain so hard that it was found nc cessary to adjourn or get soaked. The party returned to the City hall where conference was being held relative 70 the hearing on the Oakville trest1e question. which was down for 2 hear Ing before Judge Elmer :n New Haver
 to-nay, when word was received that the case had been still further ad. journed.

RELIANCE SAILED AWAY
FROM HER TWO RIVALS.
Again She showed Constitution
and Columbia Her Heels.


Newport, June S0.-The Reliance
scored another decisive victory over
the Constitution and Columbia to-day
in a fifteen-mile thrash to windward
and return.
Beat for beat, the Constitution won
over the Columbia, but time allowance
will probably give the latter second
place.
The new craft sailed the course in
seven minutes and two seconds less
time than the Constitution and eight
minutes and one second less than the
other boat The Constitution covered
the thirty miles in fifty-nine seconds
less than the Columbia.
1t was, a cracking race. under con-
ditions supposed to be more to the
liking of the Columbia than either of
the other boats, but the Reliance again
proved herself to be the better boat,
both to windward and running dead
before the breeze.
Only during the first five miles Of
the race was there any doubt about
the result and while this distance
was being sailed there was a battle
royal between the Reliance and Co
lumbia, which resulted in the former
establishing a commanding lead
The race was sailed in a breeze of
from ten to twelve miles strength, and
after Point Judith had been left be-
hind on the way out to the weather
mark, a rolling sea was met. The Re-
lance dipped deeper into the waves
than did either of the other boats, but
it had no retarding effect upon her
speed.
