CITY NEWS

The funeral of Christina Fallon took place yesterday afternoon from her late home, IS Brown street. Interment was in Calvary.
 The state succession tax on the es- tate of the late Charles Pritchard, which was settled up in probate yes terday, amounts to $477. The etsate figured up $107, ,6S7.36.
 The Mattatuck, Rod and Gun club succeeded in getting a meeting at the Driving park this afternoon for piegon shooting. Some of the members ex- pect the best record to be made by Judge Peasley and stBen" Kelsey, in view of the experience they have had in shooting around for evidence in the recent police case.
 An important meeting of the Irish American Athletic club will be held in the club rooms tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The members of the va rious athletic teams are earnestly re- quested to be present. A game will probably be arranged by the manager of the football team with the strong Ketchams of New York. The game, if arranged, will be for the championship of the country and will be played in New York in about three weeks.
 Matthew Brazel, the building mover of Hartford, is engaged in the work of removing the church of St Francis Xavier. The church will be turned about so that it will face Washington street instead of Baldwin street. Ten men have been working on the job since last Monday and the work has so far progressed that 1t is expected that it will be finished by next Saturday. MT Brazel has done much work of this natllre throughout the state and has removed many large brick and frame structures. His work is very satisfac- tory. .
 The hunt after the assailant of Mrs Stevens is being pushed and if he is caught the authorities may be relieved of the trouble of disposing of his case. The woman is a relative of Edgar Farnham, a caster at Benedict & Burn ham Manufacturing Go and has been in his employ for several years. Al most every colored man in that part of the town is being questioned and asked to account for his movements last evening. The search after the parties who attacked Miss Crane is also going on. Butnothing definite has been learned except that everything points towards Brook street as the scene of the assault and it is pretty generally believed that when the affair is cleaned up it will be seen that the girl was the victim of foul play with in hailing distance of the place where her society associates were waiting for her on East Main street.

WATCHING ELY.
Think He Was One Who Planned
 NepheW's Abduction.

Detectives Have Followed Clues Into Nearly Every State in the Union Solution of the Mystery Seems Near at Hand.
 Chicago, May 16.-The Inter-ocean to-day says: l After following thousand cleWs, which took them into nearly every state of the union and to three different continents detectives have found at last what they believe will lead them to solution of the mystery which has shrouded the disappearance of Frank Ely Rogers, the 13-year-old son of James c. Rogers of Evanston, and his aunt. Florence Ely, nearly two years ago.
 To-day William Ely, brother of Miss Florence Ely, and brother of the mother of the missing boy, as we'll, sails for Europe on the Red Star liner Zealand Confident that he will meet his sister and his nephew, detectives will sail on the, same steamer and watch his every move, as they have since he was released from the Con- necticut penitentiary at Wethersfeld eight weeks ago.
 During all the investigation by the police and the many detective agencies which have worked on this case, this boy has never been mentioned by the family.
 Now. however, every effort is being made to follow his every footstep. The family believes that he will lead them to the missing boy.
 According to the theory of the de tectives, Ely planned the abduction of Frank Ely Rogers because he wanted revenge on the boys father The story is that James O. Rogers testified against his brother-in-law when he was arrested in Nashville, Tenn, February 20 1897.
 He was caught in the act of robbing a womani whom he had followed from Concord, N. H., to the exposition. It is said that at that time Ely shook his fist at his brother-in-law and said he would get even.
 MT Rogers denied that he appeared against Ely, but detectives who made the arrest say that if he did not he wrote letter to the authorities telling of the man's s record, and advising that herbe placed where he would not trou- ble the public or his family Every thing indicates, the detectives say, that Miss Ely and the boy she took away with her are in Paris. Mir Rogers said yesterday that in her last letter his sister-in-law said she was going to Flu rope.
 It is thought that Ely, who has tried to mislead the detectives since he came fromsprison. thinks he has eluded them, and will goat once to his sister the moment he reaches Europe.

HE LOPILLARD ROBBERY.
The Loss Will be More Than
 First Reported.

Two Men Followed the Lorrilards. All
 the Way from Monte Carlo-All of
 the Woman's Jewels, Except Those
 She Wore at Time Of Robbery Have Been Taken. .E.-@
 London, May 16.-The loss of Mrs Pierre Lorillard, who is reported to have been robbed of $50,OO0 worth of jewelry, amounts probably to a far greater sum than at first rumored. Mrs Lorillard lost all of her jewelry except what she was wearing and let ter of credit and other valuables. The robbery occurred at the Berkeley hotel, to which place two men followed Mir and Mrs Lorillard all, the way from Monte Carlo. The thieves evidently waited for favorable opportunity to commit the robbery and have now gone off with the yaluables. The po- lice have no clue to their Whereabouts, but Mrs Lorillard now remembers meeting at various points of the journey, the two suspects and seeing them again when she arrived in Lon- dOn

No Strike Breakers At the Park
 City Up to Noon To-Day.
RUMoRs OF A SETTLEMENT

Nothing Came from the Conference
 Held This Afternoon-Chief Bir-
 mingham's Orders to Police Depart
 ment- Statements Made By Manager
 SeweIl and Press Committee of
 Strikers.
 Bridgeport, May 16-No attempt to start cars on the lines of the Con- necticut Railway & Lighting Co in this city was made this forenoon, and no disturbance as result of the strike of motormen and conductors was report ed. The entire police force reported for duty at 10 o'clock in anticipation of some move on the part of the company toward resuming operations, but they were immediately dismissed and told to report at headquarters again at 6:30 this evening
 As yet no strike breakers have arriv- ed in town apparently, the strikers pickets at the railroad stations report Ing at noon that no new men hadA Aap- peared. It is believed, however, that the company has made preparations for bringing in non-union men from other cities, though no statement re- garding the company's intention has been made officially.
 An effort to reach a settlement be- came apparent during the morning when it was given out that Manager Sewell would meet committee of the roads employees at 1 o'clock. J. Wal ter Clark of Philadelphia, managing director of the company and several other directors arrived in the city this morning, and it was understood that that they would direct Manager Sew elrs attitude in reference to the strike situation and his conference with the mems committee.
 Shortly after noon to-day Manager Sewell announced that cars manned by strikers, who had agreed to return to work, would be started this afternoon. He declined to say how many would go back, but there was a report that B7 had decided to do so. The union officials admitted that some of the men were going back. They declared, however, that this defection would not materially injure their cause.
 The conference between Manager seweL and the committee from the strikers was very brief. As soon as the men entered the managers office !. he asked them if they came as repre- sentadves of the employees or as repre- sentatiyes of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Street Railway Employees. They replied that they were there as representative of the Amalgamated association. Manager SeweH then re piled that he could have no conference with them over the strike situation. They left the office immediately and will report at a meeting of the strik- CTS to be held at.5 o'clock this after noon. Manager SeweH expects to have the cars running late this after noon. No strike breakers have arrived so far as reported up to 3 o'clock this afternoon.

SOCIAL SCIENCE SESSION.
Closing Exercises To-day-Heinrich
 Conrfed One of the Speakers.

Conried One of the Speakers
 Boston, May 1e.-"Ethical Factors in Community Life,'' was the general topic assigned for the closing session this forenoon, of the American Social Science association, which began its general meeting for 1903, last Thurs day. The speakers included Henry T. Bailey, director of drawing and art in the Massachusetts public schools on 1.-The Fine Arts;'' Heinrich Conried, director of the Irving place theater and Metropolitan Opera house, New York, on The Stage and Frank Damrosch, director of music in the public schools of New York, on Music. Tn the gen eral discussion which followed, David Bispham, member of the Metropolitan opera, Louis c. Elsen, New England conservatory of music, Edwin D. Mead and others participated.
 x In his paper presenting "Ihe Fine Arts as Ethical Factors in Community Life," MT Bailey said:s "The assump- tion that there is no relation between the fine .arts and morality seems war ranted by the facts of history and bi- ography; but this comes from super ficial reading of both. Worship has made the art of nations. and love the works of genius. The abnormal exer- else of any one faculty tends to dwarf and atrophy !, the others Our modern idea is. wholeness, completeness, perfection. In the at tainment of human speeches the fine arts are an important factor. The study of fine arts really the study of
 beauty as expressed in static forms and
 coIors, is fostered in our public schools, 1 art schools universities and museums and by beautiful landcape architecture, all the art craft in general and by the l practice of photography and the allied | arts. Such study is sure to influence
 men in a way to facilitate the coming of more ideal ethical relationships. As
 means of opening the mind and heart and making the individual prepared field for the. growth of the ethical vir- 1 tues, as a means of increasing individ- l ual efficiency and perfecting the active 1 agent in all ethical virtues, as a means | of developing good taste, the regula- l tive principle in ethical virtues, in- l struction in and practice of fine arts stand second in importance to religion l itself.

Judge Burpee this morning was asked regarding the trolley strike in Bridgeport and he made the rather startling statement that the company was taken unawares, having been g1V- en no more time to consider the situa- tion than it was given in the local strike.
 1.-The general impression is that the company had about two months to con- slider it." he was told
 Quite the contrary said Judge Burpee. ssThe company was not given even twenty-four hours notice, nor was the public, either, taken into the confidence of the men to that extent The facts are that some time ago the men made certain demands upon t1e company The company met them and made an offer. That offer was to be considered by the men at their meeting held on April 29. But no 1ac- tion was taken then; the matter was laid over for month, which would bring 1t up again on the 18th of this month. What did the men do? They called a special meeting Friday morn- ing at 4 o'clock and decided to strike After the meeting held on the morning of April % the company was officially informed by the men that they had ad- journed action upon the offer made by the company That isxall we know, officially, of the situation, until we were informed yesterday morning by them that they had voted to strike. Ev- cry man is out but we understand there were few, believe the number

 Twelve of the twenty-five profes- sional strike breakers who are still working on the trolley lines, are ready to go to Bridgeport at any moment to take the places of the strikers in that city. The twelve were picked out last night and are readyeto go when their services are required. Those who were not picked out, feel somewhat aggriey- ed. They would prefer to go to Bridgeport where there is prospect of some excitement taking place, The twelve men can be spared by the local branch for there is about that number of extra men here.

CHINESE FOR SOUTH AFRICA
England Will Soon Import Coolies tc
 That Place.

London, May 16-The importation of Chinese labor into South Africa was decided upon in principle some time ago, but no definite plans have yet been formed regarding the number to be imported, nor the conditions to gov ern the importation. Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain, and the big firms of the Rand are in agreement that no other solution of the labor difficulty is possible. At present half the sta1lps at the mines are idle because only 5O,- OOO Kaff1rs are procurable when 15O.- OOO men are required. As a conse- lquence the conditions at Johannesburo are daily growing worse and business IS slack. The Rand magnates, are loath to accept the sole responsibility for in- troducing Chinese labor.
 Up to the present the trading popu- lation of South Africa is bitterly op- posed to the importation of Chinese,

TWO AMERICANS KILLED.
Captain and Private Met Death
 in a BOlO Rush.
Natives Pretended. Friendship and
 Then Made Attack on Americans Insurgents, Armed With Bolos, Re-
 sist Landing of American Scouts.

Manila. May 16.-Captain Clough Overton of the Fifteenth cavalry and Private Moves were killed and Private Hartlow was wounded yesterday in a bolo rush at Sucatlan, island of Mon- diano. ,@s% &=t ea: ,E
 No details of the fighting have been received beyond a brief telegram re- porting the deaths. It Is said that six of the enemy were killed. 1t is thought the natives approached Captain Over toms command, pretending friendship and then attacked the Americans.
 About 300 insurgents, armed with bolos, resisted the landing of force of scouts at Catalman, Camiguin island, Tuesday. They charged the scouts and wounded two of them. It required an hour to disperse the insurgents. Twelve of the latter were killed and many wounded. The scouts, whose gallantry has been commended, are pursuing the insurgents. .@-4
