CORNER STONE LAYING.
Friends of Dartmouth Are Out in
 Force To-Day.

Hanover, N. H., Oct 26.- Dartmouth alumni and other friends of the col lege filled this town to-day, having come to attend the exercises in con- nection with the laying of the corner stone of the new Dartmouth hall, will replace the old building of that name, destroyed by fire last winter. The Earl of Dartmouth arrived here last night, having come from England to lay the corner stone. The other participants in the exercises were se- lected from among the graduates of the college. Professor Francis Brown, 70, had been chosen to deliver his torfcal address at the forenoon exer- cfses in the college church, while at the corner stone ceremonies in the af- ternoon it had been arranged that an address should be delivered by c. F. MatthewsOn of New York, 'S2, that an ode should be read by Wilder Quint of Boston, 'S7, and that the prayer of dedication should be made by Rt Rev Ethelbert Talbot, D. D., TO, bishop of central Pennsylvania. Congressman Samuel l.. Powers, New ton, Mass, "A, president of the Boston. Alumni association was present to pre- side at the afternoon ceremonies and Colonel Charles K. Darling of Boston, '85, undertook the duties of marshal for the long procession of guests, of ficers, students and alumni through the college grounds, which was to be one of the features of the celebration.
 The sky early to-day was cloudy and dark, and soon after daybreak It began to rain. It was decided that in case the rain should continue through the forenoon the exercises previously arranged for the afternoon at the site of the new hall should be held in the college church immediately after the close of the forenoon program. The college authorities stated, however, that the procession from the college hall to the grave of Eleazer Wheelock the founder of the college, and thence to the site, would take place as plan ned, and that the Earl of Dartmouth would there lay the corner stone, re 1gardless of the weather.
 An interesting event of the morning exercises in the college church was to be the comforting of the degree of doctor of laws upon the Earl of Dart mouth.

MANY FRIENDS THERE.
Gathered at the Station to Say Cood-
 bye to "Jim'' facDonald

A large delegation, including repre-. sentatives of all the local newspapers. collected at the Naugatuck station this morning to bid God-speed to James A.
 Mcdonald of Wolcott street, for & long time past member of the re portor1al staff of the Waterbury Demo crat, who left on the 1O:5O train for Denver, where he will remain for an indefinite period. MT Mcdonald stood the ordeal well, still he was visibly affected by the leave taking. especial. ly when he parted with his father and the rest of the family. It was a very touching scene, so much so that nearly everybody in the party found it diff cult to restrain the willing tear. If good wishes and the fervent prayers of ones neighboEs and friends count for anything, MT Mcdonald will soon be home again in the enjoyment or his former good health and spirits. He is model young man, with happy faculty of making friends and holding them. He is fortunate, indeed, who earns a livelihood in the newspaper business to perform his duties well and at the same time command the same measure of public confidence which MT Mcdonald enjoyed. MT Me- DOnald'S friends and warm admirers were not confined to his fellow beings; it extended to the brute creation, as was evidenced by the frantic efforts of the family dog, large, handsome greyhound, that frisked and frolicked ahead of the carriage to the station, pursued him through the throng of people on the platform despite the eff forts of several persons, broke loose, when the train was rolling out. jumped onto the car and was whirled away with it's friend. The animal will be brought back from Winsted by cou- pie of MT McDonald's sisters. who ac- companied him as far as that place.

Kilduff was the only objector. Ills would claim damages in case fifteen foot line should be established Com, missioner Brown thought there was merit in MT Kilduff's claim, and while the others agreed with him, they took the ground that the line should be es- abolished and let property owners in the street that will be benefited pay MT Kilduff, Commissioner Jackson re- marking that he was willing to be as~ sessed a reasonable amount. Some body remarked that MT Humphrey had said that if he owned the Kilduff prop erty he should put block on 1t with stores and make good money out of them. 1t was voted to recommend to the aldermen that twenty-five foot line be established on Hillside avenue. north side, from North Willow street to Frederick street, and fifteen foot line on the same side from Kellogg street to Prospect, and seven foot line on the south side, between the points covered by the twenty-five ana fifteen foot line on the north side.
 Commissioner Jackson reported eight more lights may be installed in the second taxation district this year, but that there Is no money available for that purpose in the first district. Favorable action was taken on the ap- plication of Lawrence Tobin for an electric arc light on Dublin street, op- posite the estate of John Thompson.
 After passing upon a few minor matters the board adjourned until the regular meeting.

 Torrington, Oct 26.-Another effort will have to be made this year to pre- vent an increase in the number of h- censed saloons. Applications are in for all the old places and Adam Oel- schleger, who three years ago conduct ed the saloon at No 16 Water street, has applied for license for saloon in the store adjoining, No IA Water street, now occupied by Charles Brenk- CT, the grocer. It was over No 16 that great fight was made last year Ey the remonstrants, the commission CTS refusing to grant the application on account of the unsuftabdlity of the place. An appeal from this decision to the superior court was taken and the commissioners were upheld The same objections apply to the location mentioned in the application. Mir Brenker has declined an offer of $500 to give up the store in case the appli- cation is granted.
