SPLENDID TROLLEY SERVICE
Large Crowds Easily Handled Yester-
 dav-To-day's Arrangements.

Large Crowds Easily Handled Yester- day-To-day's Arrangements. we are to-day operating more COTS than ever before in the history of the system" said General Manager Pun
 derford yesterday afternoon, and the |rapidity with which the cars rounded the corner of Church and Chapel streets and crossed that thoroughfare was con-
 elusive evidence that there was truth in the statement The day was clear and warm, just such day as brings people out for trolley rides to the many attractive and healthful resorts and
 points of interest in close proximity to
 the city. The cars were crowded most. of the day after eleven in the morning,
 but despite this crush there were cars for all, and the ability of the company to accommodate all who desire to patron ize the cars this summer was splendid | ly demonstrated.
 The splendid service which was maintained on all of the lines of the
 company occasioned many compliment tary remarks and considering the close tLlCduWdy Oll Wll1Cu IlIC D<1A D WC4E III, and especially on the line to Savin
 Rock, the day was a most successful one. The only accidents of the day was broken axle on car 256 on the
 Esdgawood avenue line and the break ing of few spokes out of a wheel of
 a buggy on Campbell avenue. The lat ter accident was entirely due to care lessness in driving as the occupant
 drove immediately across the tracks in front of the car.
 There is absolute certainty that the
 trolley company will be prepared to
 handle the crowd which desires to visit
 Savin Rock this summer, even on es-
 pecially busy days. With the fifteen large double truck cars recently receiv- ed in commission and the large cars of last summer still in good condition,
 they will be prepared to maintain ser
 vice which will be close to every min- ute and as the carrying of these large | cars is at least hundred each an idea can be gained of the rapidity with
 which the crowds can be moved. The patronage on all other lines of
 the city yesterday was very generous, the ride to Derby and Branford proving especially popular.
 In anticipation of to-day being one when the riding on the trolley cars will
 be very heavy, the officials of the road
 made especial preparations to take care
 of all who desire to ride in any direc- tion All of the available cars will be in service and there is little reason to dOllhf inc ability 0f Ina cntnpanv f0 take care of everyone and in good time.

Five Long Deep Cuts-His Ear Split in HaIf-RaEDh ComodeIo Has Bullet Hole Through His Thish--Comedelo Escaped-TroubIe Over a Child. A shooting and cutting affair took place shortly after g o'clock last even ing on Wooster street, near Franklin street, and as a result one of the con- testants is at the New Haven hospital in very badly cut-up condition, while the other is at large with a bullet hole through his left thigh. The two men
 engaged in the affair are both Italians.
 They are Louis Morris, of 52 Collis Istreet, and Ralph Comodelo, of 29
 Chestnut street.
 It was difficult to get at the details of the affair last night owing to the fact that Comodelo escaped after the fight. The rights of the story seemed to
 be as follows: Some time between s and | g o'clock last night Morris son came
 home and complained to his father that Comodelo had knocked him down on the sidewalk. As soon as Morris heard this he went out looking for Comodelo,
 meeting him on Wooster street, near
 Franklin street. Strong words follow led, and then Comodelo drew a knife and Morris a revolver. Comodelo cut
 Morris in five different places with his knife and Morris fired two shots at Comodelo with 3S-colibre revolver, only one of which took effect. Como delo then escaped and Morris was help l ed home. Dr. Beard was summoned by
 Morris family and he found that Nor
 his had four very bad cuts. The cuts
 were all deep ones. One over the heart was five inches long; another went completely over the jugular vein and cut the left ear in half; another cut over the temple was three inches long; and in addition to all these there was a deep cut three inches long on the top of his head. After stopping the flow of
 blood Dr. Beard ordered the man sent
 to the New Haven hospital, and it was lstated at that institution late last night that if blood poisoning did not set in 1t was thought that the patient would re- cover.
 After the affair occurred friend of ComOdelO nelpeu nm lo bI. opeIIy s office, where he was attended by that physician. Dr. Sperry found that the bullet had gone into the front of the thigh to within half an inch of the back lof the thigh. Dr. Sperry therefore cut the bullet out. which left a hole com lpletely through the leg.
 | Comodelo told Dr. Sperry that he had been shot by a man and that he pro- lposed to have his assailant arrested. He then left the doctors office, assisted by his friend, and the police have been unable to locate him.
 The police think that there has been bad blood between the men for long while.

listment which was the preservation of the union. He asked if the south had been successful, how long would it have lasted as an independent government7 The lord of battles settled the question of secession and settled it right. Mir. Brandegee spoke of the proposed monu- ment in honor of our deceased towns man. Cornelius s. Bushnell.
 Memorial day is unique in our nation. No other nation thus honors its soldier dead. He spoke of the suffering in war, the despair Of defeat and the joy of victory. To me, he said, it is only his tory, but to you and to all of us the day is sacred. men never died in a more righteous cause. and historian. or ator and poet have view in telling of the story. He spoke of the spirit of worship engendered for our country's flag. The war songs account for the success of many a battle. He spoke of how impossible it was to write for Slavery a soul stirring song. Our own Governor Buckingham pledged to Lin- coin the friendship and treasure of Con- necticut, and of it's proportionately big number of men it sent to the war. He named Bradley, Blair, Ives. Greeley and Terry among the heroes of this state. Mcclellan and Grant were of Connecti- cut ancestry. All the valor was not on one side. They were brave men in gray, but they were led astray by false teaching. He spoke of the new issues, of undesirable immigration. It is forty years since you veterans returned to the walks of peace, all honor to you for your brave sacrifices. The country is chanting hymns of praise to the G. A. R. as they march onward. We will pay our homage, and may we also pray Lord God of host be with us. lest we forget.
 Mir. Brandegee was warmly applaud ed.

EUGENIE'S ELS.
How They Were Carried Through In
dia and Sold to Native Prince.

The story of the Servian jewels must
recall to the ex-Empress Eugene her
own experiences when the waves first
began to dash about her throne. She
determined to sell the greater part of
her jewels in hope to do something to
save the dynasty. Publicity had to be
avoided, and a market was not to be
found in Europe, newly thrilled by
the horrors of Sedan. The empress look
ed to the east for a market. An Eng
lishman was on his way home for
holiday. A telegram at Bombay await
ed him from one of the greatest Euro
pean financial houses and informed
him of the determination of the en-
press. The difficulty had been to find
a man with sufficient influence to be
able to approach the princes of India
in secret with view to selling them
the jewels. Not less hard was it to lay
hands on the man who had moral
strength sufficient to carry with him
surreptitiouslv hundreds of thousands
of pounds worth of Jewels in lands
where the queens writ did not rum
and where the protection of the con-
stable is not Immediately available.
Every care had been taken to insure
secrecy. The jewels had been taken to
pieces; gems removed from their set
tings; the latter 'sjointed" TO admit of

DOORS DIDN'T OPEN.
Taunton Trust Company L. in
Difficulties.

Taunton, Mass. Feb. 27-The doors of
the Taunton Safe Deposit & Trust com
pany did not open today as a result of
an injunction from the supreme court
restraining the treasurer from receiv-
ing or paying any deposits until after
hearing on an injunction in the supreme
court at Boston Monday. The state
bank commissioners have announced
that they will ask that receiver be ap-
pointed for the institution. The COM
pany is said to be in difficulties because
of poor investments. but the president,
Edward H. Temple, asserts that the de-
positors will be paid in full. The labili-
ties are 100000. The capital stock was
100000. President Temple said also
that he would not oppose the petition
for the appointment of a receiver when
the case came up in the supreme court.

DEPRESSING FACTORS.
A Number of Them Conspire to Keep
Wall Street Nervous.

New York, Feb. 27.-Depressing fac
tors have continued in the ascendant in
Wall street but have been partly offset
by indications that the stock market
was oversold. Financial troubles in
foreign markets growing out of the
war in the far east have had a reflex
effect in New York. The war in grain
freight rates, threats of a great strike
of soft coal miners, declining railroad
earnings, some anxiety over the win
ter wheat crop, the cuts in pig iron
prices, shrinkage in bank clearings as
a possible index of a falling off in gen
eral business and the suspense over the
decision in the northern securities mer-
ger case are some of the topics which
have served to keep sentiment unset
tied and nervous.

HELD AT ELLIS ISLAND.
A Priest Who Had Spent Nine Years
in This Country.

New York. Feb. 27.-Father Noel
Demorest. a French priest. has been
detained at Ellis island and his ex-
clusion is likely, in spite of the fact
that for nine years he labored as a
missionary among the Indians of New
Mexico.
The priest came to America in 1892
but two years ago returned again to
France. When La Touraine arrived in
port on her last voyage the priest was
taken to Ellis island suffering from tu-
berculosis. The law does not permit
the landing of an alien thus afflicted.
and Father Demorest has only his first
citizenship papers.
In explanation of his neglect to pro-
cure his second papers he says he took
up land in New Mexico under the
homestead act and that he thought
this equivalent to becoming a citizen.
