DRANK HORSE LINIMENT.
Two Men Dead and a Third Dyins-Con.
tained Wood Alcohol.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Sept. 2l.-James
Murray and Robert Nevins, hostlers at
Cooks stable, got intoxicated on Sunday
afternoon by drinking horse liniment
from keg which had accompanied the
Connecticut troops to Manassas recently.
DR.. Frank T. Wade, a veterinary. drank
some of the lniment with the men.
All three lay down In hay loft Of the
stable on Sunday evening and slept of the
effects OF the connection. On Monday
each Of them appeared to be all right ply
scally Yesterday Murray was taken
violently i'll. He was quickly transferred
to the bridgeport Hospital. He died few
hours after arriving there. Last evening
Nevns was attacked In the Same manner
and he died in the hospital tonight,
DR.. Wade was taken to the hospital this
morning. He says he drank three glases
of the liniment but did not know, until
after he had drank It, that It contained
wood alcohol instead OF real alcohol. The
liniment Is made OF two parts witch hazel
to one part wood alcohol.
Wade is not expected to live tonight.
All three men were hard drinkers and their
craving for drink led them TO take the
horse liniment. Wood alcohol is poison
which acts slowly.

BAYONNE FIGURES HER LOSSES.
Shortage in Collector RObinsOn's Accounts
Now Placed at S36 900.

There was much surprise in Bayonne,
N. j.. yesterday over the arrest Of Cyrillus
l.. Robinson, the venerable Collector of
Revenues, on a warrant issued at the re-
quest OF Mayor Thomas Brady, charging
the Collector with Incorporating $1,000
OF the city's money. Mr.. Robinson will be
arraigned this morning to plead before
Recorder Lazarus in the police court. He
is d. liberty on $4,000 bail.
1t was learned yesterday that the exact
shortage now apparent in Mr.. Robinson's
accounts is about $35 900. Mr.. Robinson
has held the Office since 1893, and the experts
have yet to investigate his books for the
first three years he held office. In every
instance the discrepancies appear in the
accounts Of the Standard Oil Company
which annually pays the city large sum
in taxes on its immense plant at Constable
Hook.
1t was announced yesterday by the eX-
perts in, charge OF the investigation that in
1908 the accompany sent check to Mr. Robin
son for $40 900, but that only $40 900 Is shown
on the books now, although when the first
examination OF the books was made. couple
OF months ago. no discrepancies were dis
covered. 1t is alleged that after this ex-
animation the books were tempered with,
the figures altered and acid used. On one
page there is big blotch. as though the
bottle of acid had accidentally been spilled.
In the Standard Oil Compny's accounts
OF 1902 there is an apparent shortage of
$40 900, in 1901 OF 50 900; in 1900 Of 81 700;
in 1897 Of 81, 600 and in 1895 Of 81, 900. None
has been discovered in 1898 or 1899. Until
Mayor Brady, who is referred to as -the
business Mayor took office, on Jan. 1
last, all moneys for taxes were deposited in
the Collectors name, and checks were
made payable to his order, Mayor Brady
had al the tax money paid over to the
City Treasurer.
It was denied by friends Of the Collector
yesterday that he patronized Wall Street
or engaged in gambling of any kind. While
he owned considerable real estate, it is
claimed that he obtained it at bargains.
Mr.. Robinson's salary was $1,000 year.

CLYDE FITCH DSAPPOINTS.
HIS "C0RONET OF THE DUCHESS"
A LITTLE TOO PROSATC.

Two Good Scenes-Ffne Ante-COronation
Row Between the Duke and His Amer
lean Duchess Nearly Enough to Save
the PIay-Clara BloodgOod Monotonous
Clyde Fitch has been studying American
life for the market again. The results Of
his latest observations were made known
at the Garrck Theatre last night when his
new play, THE Coronet Of the Duchess"
written for Clara Bloodgood, was brought
forward
An audience Of hardened first nighters sat
contempatively through the performance,
and after waiting for striking unravelling
of a Troublesome dramatic ENHANCEMENT,
went home disappointed. To sec Duchess
who WAS tired Of her bargain beg the Duke
to give her a divorce and hear him mutter
that he supposed he would have to was
re9,ly Just little too prosaic.
The Coronet Of the Duchess" is Mr..
Fnch's study Of the international marriage.
He holds up to ridicule the British Duke
who comes to America in search Of an
heress to restore hh shattered fortunes,
and depicts him as cad OF the lowest type.
He gives all the English characters in the
play style, manner, bearing, and all the
lie may have intended them for rebukes
TO the pitiabe imitation English who try
to imagine themselves an American aris-
tocracy. but he succeeded rather in setting
forth the traits of the plain United States
citizen.
Once married to the Duke the American
Duchess finds that he does not care for
her ard that he has, and has for years,

stand that-and there you are. Also she
Is in love with sound American, whom
she would not have when she got the chance
to become her Grace. And there you are
again.
air. Titchs plays always have one or two
bold SCI mic strokes in them, and these us
ually go far toward saving them from
utter weariness. In last nights piece the
first Ct these scenes was charity bazaar
with noble ladies selling things for absurd
prices and the curtain descending on digni-
taries about TO usher in the Queen. The
second and much the better scene, of the
two showed the Duke and his Duchess in
their state robes going to tableaux repre-
senting the coronation and indulging in
first class row before they went.
This scene almost saved the play, and
would have done 40 If the last act had not
followed it'll its blast of chill air. Clara
Blood gCol was, of course, the American
Duchess, and she played her part in all
sincerity and all in one key; modula-
ton ould have been worth fortune,
but shc could barely touch even the relative
minor, OF chromatics, she had none.
Mrs Hone, as the mother OF the Duchess
was admirable. and George Mendum made
the mos: of Laura BurreH, Western girl
who was almost as much OF caricature
as if she had come out of an English novel.
Ernest Iawford acted the unbelievable
Duke with great cleverness. William
Courtleigh was satisfactory as Jim Russell,
the sound American. and Mrs. Whiffen was
symp lthetic as the Duchess 3 aunt.

YALE COMMENCEMENT.

Programme for the Weeks Exercises
 Rearranged.
 A encouragement of the programme of the Yale commencement week exercises has just been made, by which the pres ident's address. which has been given in the past, conferring of degrees on commencement day CWednesday), will be delivered this year at the alumni meeting on Tuesday. The change will give added importance to the alumni meeting. and it is expected that it will be necessary to hold the meeting in Woolsey hall, as last year the capacity of Alumni hall was taxed to the limit.
 Another change in the programme will be the transfer of the address be- fore the medical school from Tuesday noon to Monday afternoon at o'clock.
