TRAnPS EVICT FAMILY.
Then Jump Into Their Bed and Go to
 Sleep Six Months in Prison.

Utica. Sept 1.-Two tramps, Patrick Sheridan and Patrick Rogers, 27 and 26 years of age, both New Workers and fresh from the hop fields, broke into the house occupied by Frank Enos, his wife and child at Yorkyille, a sll- burh of this city, early yesterday moru- ing, forced Enos and wife from their bed, and after driving them from the place calmly disrobed and rolled into the bed from which they had com pelled the rightful occupants to flee. The tramps would not permit Enos and his wife to take their slumbering babe with them the distracted parents being compelled to vacate the prem ises at the point of pistol.
 Returning to their barn in roundl- about way, Mir and Mrs Enos mounted their sole horse and hurried to New York Mills, where the alarm was given. A number of deputies started for the scene of the eviction. The of, ficers approached the Enos house eau. tiously, fully prepared to give battle to the hoboes should they make show of resistance. The deputies entered the premises from different directions, meeting in the bed chamber. where they found the tramps sleeping sound ly and snoring vigorously, while a few feet away the baby lay slumbering i'll it's crib.
 The tramps attempted to draw their pistols from under the pillows when thanked from the bed, but were quick, ly overpowered.

LAPS AND CHINESE.
Attempt to Keep Jap Children Out of
 White Schools in San Francisco. ,

San Francisco, Sept. 12.-The ques- ton of providing a public school edu- cation for Japanese children has now come to a head. The increase of such children has been so great that in many cases white children have been forced out of school on their account.
 The superintendent of schools refer red the matter to City Attorney Long and he has rendered an opinion in which he declares that the POO Janan- csc children now attending the various public schools must go to the Chinese public school if they want free educa- ton.
 The attorney takes the broad ground that the Japanese are Mongolians and that therefore the children have no right to attend the schools provided for the children of white percentage. He holds, however, that if the Japan ese apply for instruction in grades that are not provided in the Chinese schools they must be admitted to the regular schools.
 The result will probably be the en- largement of the Chinese public school, which is now teaching only the pr1m- ary and yower grammar grades. In fuential Japanese are sure to appeal from this decision, as they say that they are not Mongolians. Many of them are American citizens who pay taxes. They will therefore make the fight to have their children admitted to the public schools with the white children.

For several hours before the explosion and for three after 1t neither StravaIIi, his wife nor any of their seven children were seen about the place by any of, the neighbors.

MAN IS DEAD.
Was to be Principal Wit. ness in Suit Between Wat.
 erbury and Orange.

Waterbury is very much interested in the death of Charles Thomas, which occurred last week in Orange. Thom- as was married in Waterbury forty years ago and his widow still lives here. The city has been supporting Mrs Thomas for several years, but it seems to be pretty well understood that the expense can be collected from the town where her husband always had a residence. Not being able to come to an understanding about the matter Waterbury concluded to sue Orange for $1 GOO and the outcome of the fight is awaited with much inter est When Thomas stopped here he worked at the painting business, but for number of years he has lived alone and was regarded as something of recluse. He was expected to cut quite figure when the battle is called between Waterbury and Orange, but he has been relieved from taking any hand in the contest one way or the other and the belligerents will have to fight it out among themselves.

PANIC IN CHURCH.
Woman Paints and Cry of Fire Starts
 Roush House.

New Haven, Sept Yesterday for the third time panic occurred in the St Michae's Italian church on Wooster street, and the church was badly damaged, although no one was injured.
 A large congregation had gathered to attend the morning services when at about 9:30 someone cried out Fire" Others took up the cry and { the church resounded with the din. Immediately mad rush was made for the doors, which were soon choked up with the struggling crowd. Some started for the windows and leaped through them smashing the stained glass. On the outside the windows were protected by wire net ting, and the persons climbing through the windows were entangled in the netting. Tn the confusion one woman fainted, but no accidents oc- cured.
 A woman who lives near the church called up Captain Brewer, of the Grand avenue station, and hystericaI- ly informed him that there was a riot, fight, murder and fire going on and asked for the help of the police force. Several policemen from the station were dispatched, as were q number from the Central station with the wagon. But when they ar rived on the scene there was no work for them to do, except keep back the crowd which had gathered.
 There were two panics in this church before, one about seven years ago and the other last spring. n the latter several persons were knocked down and trampled on.
 Some of the officials of the church believe that they have a clue which will lead to the detection of the per- son who started the cry yesterday He will be severely dealt with if foIlnd

Two children of MT and Mrs William Knap- el were badly cut and bruised about the legs as result of the explosion ,and another child received a lot of sand in the face. All will recover.

STORM
 BOUND Believed Lost by all
 Their Friends.
Bridgeport Parties Return ed Home After Their ReI- atives Thought They Had Been Lost at Sea-Lived On Canned Goods On Board a Launch Which Had Raced Away From a Storm.

Bridgeport, Sept. 12.-After having been storm-b bound on Long Island shore for three nights, with little more than canned goods to sustain them, William K. Robinson, his wife and daughter and R. s. Ko1b and wife re- turned here late last night none the worse for their experience. Their ar rival, however, was a great relief to their relatives, for the latter had al- most reached the conclusion that the party had been lost.
 The party left the harbor last Thurs day afternoon in the thirty-eight root foot launch owned by Mr Robinson for a fishing trip and a visit to Oyster Bay, l.. I. A short time after leaving the harbor a terrific thunder storm, accompanied by a high wind, swept over the sound and MT Robinson made for the nearest point of land on the Long Island short, which happened to be Llyod's Neck. The storm did not abate and Friday night was spent in the launch. One days provisions consisting mostly of canned goods had been taken on board before leaving Bridgeport and from this stock the evening meal was made.
 Saturday morning start was made for this city but the water was so rough that the attempt was soon apan- doned This time the launch made Huntington harbor. As the weather continued bad MT Robinson made his way inland and procured some fresh food. All day and during the night the party waited for an opportunity to start for home but not until late Sunday afternoon was it deemed ad- visable to make a start. The return trip was without incident and the party reached here in time to prevent relatives from starting out with a steamer to search the Long Island shore.

FUNDS SWELLED.
Savin Rock Merchants Pay We'll to
 West Haven.

New Haven, Sept 12.-savin Rock has been great source of revenue to the borough of West Haven this year, the income having been greater than that of any previous year. War den Peck has conducted a skilIful campaign and has swelled the bor- ough funds considerably.
 Everything at the Rock has been taxed this year as never before. The sums levied ranged from $1O up to $50, and were levied alike on popcorn stands, fish ponds, African dodger concerns and everything else. The income from these sources alone makes quite a respectable item. But in addition there was yet another source which yielded rich harvests.

REPORTS OF INTERVENTION.

St Petersburg, Sept 12 (7:3O a. m.) Reports of impending intervention by the powers to end the war are consid- cred to-day by the Novoe Vremya, which says there is no prospect of such action by France, which country would sincerely like to see peace. The paper says it would rather that Ger many should undertake the task of separating the contestants, while Ger, many has not the same material in terests to be affected as France and the United States.
 On the other hand, the Nlovea vremya continues, America is entirely too busy with the national election to undertake such a daring task, so that Russia may as well look forward to the conclusion of the war without pros pect that any world power will even Attempt to interfere.
