BARRIERS EXAMINED.

New Haven, Aug 6.-Seventeen knights of the razor, after an oral and practical examination, were granted "blue cards" yesterday by the state board of barber examiners. The blue cards, entitle them to state certifi- cates, embellished with big seals, sworn and witnessed to ih the proper manner, attesting that from yester- day they are full-fedged barbers un- der the protection of licenses from the state of New York. The certifi- ca;tes may be procured later after complying with certain conditions.
 The board goes all over the state, whenever called to any city, village or town, and that Is often as there Is a class of applicants waiting for them Last week the board was In Manhattan, where there was class of forty. Twenty passed and the other twenty failed to keep their ap- pointment with the examiners.

Westbrook, Aug 26.-While walk ing along the beach about mile east of this place early to-day John Stannard discovered the body of Harry Stillman of Waterbury, who together with his father, William O. of Meriden, suddenly disappeared on August IS, last. The body was in a slight state of decomposition, but was easily identified.
 Father and son had started to row from Pine Orchard to Westbrook where they were staying at that time. They never reached the latter place and on the following morning their boat was found drifting wrong side up and the elder MT Stillman's coat floating near the boat. Considerable mystery was attached to their disap- pearance as there were no storms at the time and both men were consider ed strong swimmers.
 As this is the eighth day the men have been missing, the people here aborts rather expect to find the other body washed ashore and are keeping a sharp watch along the beach.

ARCHBISHOP STOPS PANIC
Drapery i'm Crowded Church Caught
 Fire at Funeral.

Montreal, Aug 26.-A panic oc- cured yesterday in the parish church at St Vincent de Paul. A large con gregation had assembled for the flu neral of Father Brault, the prlest who was killed while boarding Ga nadian Pacific train near here on Monday
 The audience was intently listening to Archbishop Bruchesi's eulogy when a piece of the drapery hanging from the ceiling was blown over the altar with its flaming candles. Tn an in stant a streak of flame mounted to the roof. Men, women and children made q rush for the exits.
 The archbishop called out that there was no danger and commanded the panic stricken people 10 sit down. Fifty hands tore down the flaming drapery and the audience, re- assured by the archbishop, resumed their seats and the situation was saved.
 Several women who had tainted in the rush and received some injuries were removed.

.Orkmen and Tenants Driven Out by Fire i'm
 Hartford To-Day.

Hartford, Aug 2S.-This city had fire scare to-day, following a blaze which swept through the wood saw ing plant of the Mason Coal Go Tn the old stone arsenal on Front street. The fire almost approached confiagration proportions and only the immediate calling out of the entire fire depart ment saved large number of old tenement houses on Front and Talcott streets.
 The fire first broke out around the smoke stack on the arsenal and then went into @the building following ridges of sawdust which had settled over everything as is usually the case in woodworking establishments. 1t spread so quickly that the workmen at their machines barely had time to get out alive. The fire then went to the building adjoining occupied by the Hartford Building Furnishing Go, which it gutted. :.
 A cloud of embers then settled down on the roofs of the adjoining tenement buildings and caused numer ous small fires. The tenants were driven out, many of them being Fes- cued by the policemen and firemen- The firemen early abandoned the ar senal and the adjoining building and confined their efforts to preventing q further spread of the flames, which they accomplished. The loss will be about $20O00.

2,OOO MEN TO REPAIR
 STORMS DAMAGES

Kingman, Ariz, Aug 26.-The Santa Fe expects to have 2,O00 men at work to-day repairing the damage caused by Wednesdays storm. At Crozier 1t is estimated that five miles of track age, bridges and cribbing has been carried out. The roadbed is through a high walled canon. From the west yard of Kingman bridges are gone and hundreds of feet of heavy grade are carried out. The breaks will have to be cribbed and as there is very little material to be had, only slight repairs can be made until the damage east and west has been remedied. Below Haveland all the crfbbing has been carried out and most of the grade with 1t. It is estimated that it will take ut least eight days to get the road in shape to move trains.
 The Postal Telegraph lines are down west of here for miles.

 American Girl, Kill Himself.

St Louis, Aug 26.-Salvatore Caras- co, p years old, a sergeant in the Fili- pino constabulary at the worlds fair, killed himself in his tent yesterday for love of an American girl
 Carasco was Batanzan Filipino.
 Just after daylight yesterday morn ing shot was heard from his tent Members of his company rushed in and found him dead with a ball from a rifle through his heart. More than a month ago he became enamored of a young woman who made his ac- quaintance at the Filipino reservation Carasco had a Filipino wife back at Batanzas, but thoughts of her did not make his heart invulnerable to the wiles of the American. Wednesday night Carasco attempted to talk to the girl by telephone. He was unable to find her and called at intervals of two hours.
 Some of the Filipinos twttted him about it and told him that his girl had thrown him over for a handsomer man. He became Respondent and eased his heartache with a bullet.

FRANKLIN CELEBRATES.
Many Former Presidents Take Part
 in Seventy-Fifth Anniversary

Franklin, N IT., Aug 26.-Thous- ands of former residents and other visitors thronged this city to-day to assist in the celebration of the seven ty-fifth anniversary of Franklin, this marking the first old home day ob- Servance ever held here.
 Governor Nahum J. Bachelder was present during the entire day. The forenoon was spent in informal gath ings and the renewal of old friend ship. A dinner was served to many visitors in the First Baptist church, while hundreds of others joined in basket picnic at Odell park. A recep- ton was then rendered to Governor and Mrs Bachelder in the opera house at Franklin Falls. The most unique feature of the day followed in the nature of a reunion and school ses- sion of former teachers and students of the old Franklin academy in the academy building. George R. Stone, a leading attorney of this city, pre- sided at the exercises, and among the speakers were Governor Bachel- der and Professor George J. Gum mings of Washington, D. c.

 IN SADDLE Took Long Ride
 With Family. No Engagements Were BOOked-Letter of Accep. tance Getting the Finish ing Touches and Will be Given to Printer Sept. l.

Oyster Bay, l.. l., Aug 26.-Taking advantage of the fact that no engage ments are booked for to-day the pres ident and Mrs Roosevelt, accompanied by two of their sons, went for a long horseback ride, returning to Saga more hill only in time for luncheon. Business was deferred until after noon.
 During the next three or four days the president will put the finishing touches on his letter of acceptance. It probably will be placed in the hands of printer on September 1. The letter will contain approximately l2,OOO words. The date of it's publi- cation has not been determined def1- n1tely but it very likely will be on Monday, September F.
 The president has not received the representatio said to have been for warded to him by the attorneys for the Western Federation of Miners urging action by the national govern ment in the matter Of the deportation of citizens from the disturbed dis tTict in Colorado. The department of commerce and labor, through Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, and his agent has made an exhaust i've inquiry into the Colorado labor situation and is keeping in constant touch with it. The president thus is enabled to have practically first hand information on the subject. As the matter stands now it is understood to be entirely improbable that any action will be taken by the national government.

 In his opinion, Justice Dickey said the action was an entirely new one in the courts but he had come to the conclusion that the arbitration agree ment was not enforceable by the means sought, or by any other meth ods, for the reason stated.
 1t is we'll settled said the court, that an employer has right to em- ploy and discharge any one he pleases and workman may work, or refuse to work, at will"

LOOKING FOR FRAUDS.
Civil Service Ofacers Continue se
 Work in Waterbury.

Three United States civil servfce Of ficers from New York were in Water bury to-day continuing their search for naturalization frauds Thay paid a visit to the office of Clerk L. F. Root of the district court and exana- tned the books in which the naEurali- zation lists are kept. Their trip is said to have been fruf1ess as no frauds were discovered.
 The naturalization frauds, to which reference is made, are those whfoh certain Syrians in this city, in con- junction with others in New York and other cities, are alleged to have made dn wholesale quantity. The schcfne was exposed when Alexander Sefcr-' schaya, Syrian, from Hayti, tried 70 get into the United States as a citizen of this country, having 8 passport in his possession stating that he was nat. uralized in this city about year ago On being questioned it was found that he had never been ift. this country and did not know whera Waterbury was. On investigat ton iH was discovered that a gang of Syriana had been working In different cities in having their fellow countrymen be< come natI1ralized and then sell their papers to wealthy citizens in Haytis u tWdS SdtQ dL JIlS llIuS LIluL W dt tSE% bury was the hotbed of these natSIraI< ization frauds.
 But though the secret service men have visited this city twice and made a thorough search of the records, they have been able to discover only on0 fraud. that being in the case of Sefers- chaya They know the name of rhe man who swore falsely that he was SeferschayGL He has worked taa scheme in other cities. each time under different name He has had so many different names and has been in so many different places that the secret service men are having a hard time to keep track of him.
 As far as Waterbury is concerned in the frauds, however, there is noth~ ing doing except in the one case men~
 toned above The secret service men were in New Haven yesterday on the same business.

Cape Town, Aug 26.-There is no foundation for the report, circulated In the United States, that the Anleri- can South Atlantic squadron, Rear Admiral Chadwick commanding, now In these waters, has been ordered to leave here and watch the Russian volunteer fleet vessel Smolensk, which, 1t was added, was believed to be waiting for an American ship.
 The British warships Crescent, Odin, Pearl and Fotre, Rear Admiral Durnford commanding, are at the Seychelles Islands, in the vicinity of Zanzibar. 1t ds understood that the admiralty has sent orders to the ad- miral, directing him to communicate with the Smolensk and St Petersburg.

WILL NOT RETURN

The recent report that Fl. D. Batch elder, the law student who played guard on last year's eleven at Yale, will return to Yale in the fall is denied by the authorities at the law school. The fact that Batchelder is now in jail in Reading, Pa, for keeping q gambling house, being held for $500 bonds, while his trial is pending, is sufficient cause for his failure to re- turn. The other is that he is debarred from the school on account of condi- tinrlS
