Southington, Oct 26.-Edward ~Mey- CTS, 12 years old and son of Mir and Mrs William Meyers of Kane street, colored, terror stricken because his father had told him to prepare to re- ceive a whipping. ran from the house Tuesday night stark naked into the rain, and he was not found until noon yesterday after an all night search of the neighborhood by the lads parents and neighbors, who, before morning, had come to the conclusion the boy had taken his life by jumping into the Qunnipiac river. When found the boy was under one of the buildings at the Beaton & Corbln factory, nor would he come forth of his own accord. 4 factory employe with difficulty crawled under the building and dragged him out. but not until if had been decided to take up the flooring in order to get at the lad. who was as naked as when he left the house. He was hysterical and after being wrapped in a blanket he was taken to his home.
 The Meyers are well known and re- spected. Edward is an only son. For a misdemeanor Tuesday he was sent supperless 10 bed When his father came home he told the lad to take of his clothes and take a whipping. The chastisement had not been concluded when Edward ran from the house. Ii was his first whipping. It is thought he will be none the worse for his ex- posture to the weather.

NO BRUTALITY
Harvard Will Not Stand For May Abolish
 the Football.

Boston. Oct 26.-The Advertiser to- day says: If any exhibition of bru- tality or any disposition to Knock out players is seen at the Harvard Yale game next month. a proposition will lta made in the Harvard corporation tO abolish the present intercollegiate football as q sport at Harvard.
 This proposition will probably have the support of President Eliot and of three other members of tte corpOra- ton. That makeS a majority of that body which has the right to prohibit any sport which Is detrimental to the good name of the university.
 No official vote has yet been taken to abolish tlle sport. IL was thought better 10 wait until the Harvard Yale game had been played.
 The projects of the corporation 30 far as concerns any absolute prohibi- ton of football are not known tO the undergraduate. It has been felt best that any reform if worked out by the undergraduates should come willingly and not ss the result Of any threat.

STREET CAR
 RUNS AWAY
25 Persons Injured on New Bridge.
Notorman Couldn't Stop the Car-.Stuck ts His Post and Was Injured..Will Probably Die.

New York, Oct. 26-A runaway street car on the new Williamsburg suspension bridge across the East riv- CT to-day caused the injury of 9 per sons, two of them being probably fa- tally hurt. For thousand feet down the incline on the Manhattan ap- proach of the bridge Christopher street ear ran with it's brakes out of order until 1t hit and demolished a standing Fourteenth street car in which were 75 passengers. In this latter car most of the injuries occur red. It was ten minutes before the wreckage of this car could be taken off from the last passenger
 John Holden, motOrman of tue Christopher street car, who remained on the f,onr of his runaway car trying to stop lt up to the last ten yards of the down hill rush was caught between the two cars. receiving fracture of the skull and internal injuries from which he is expected to die.
 George Bryld, an enIploye of the Western Electric company also suffer ed q fractured skull and was taken to the hospital not expected to live.
 The Fourteenth street ear blockaded by a truck, was standing near the end of the bridge above Attorney street. Its passengers saw the other car bear ing down on them with it's frantic mo- torman making signs that he could not stop. The men on the rear platform of the standing car jumped of in safe ty. The three score passengers inside the ear fought wildly to escape, block ing the doorways. As the runaway car approached the rear platform those near the doorway pulled back the passengers who were stepping out upon the platform thereby undoubted- Iy saving several lives. This platform was split into two dozen pieces q few seconds later.
 The sides of the Fourteenth street car became detached from the roof and collapsed inward while the roof came down on the heads of imprisoned messengers. Men broke out the win dows and crawling out of these open ings drew the women after them.
 The Christopher street car was not SO badly damaged although flying glass cut some of 1t occupants badly. The Delancey street police station was converted into a temporary hospital. fourteen injured persons being cared for there by surgeons who were quick Iy summoned. It has not yet been ascertained how the Christopher street car got out of control.
 An odd. feature of the accident was the fact that the 1000 foot run down the bridge incline and the telescOping of the standing car occurred above or on a level with the housetops. The bridge approach rises somewhat abruptly to a considerable height.

CRACKED SAFE
Burglars at Springdale Work Deliberately in
 View of People.

Stamford. Oct 26.-In full view of number of residents who were awakened by the noise of their opera tions, four daring burglars cracked the safe in the SpriqgdaIe postoffice early to-day, and after rffiing it of $500 worth of postage stamps, strolled leisurely away toward this city. Sprfngdale is a hamlet of about 500 people, situated three miles north of Stamford, on the New Canaan branch of the New York, New Haven X Hart ford railroad. The postOffice Is lOcat- ed in the general store of Jeremiah Miller, and the store also serves as the railroad station, its rear being next to the tracks.
 The burglars entered by a rear door and three of them attacked the safe. while fourth stood guard in front of the building The lamps in the store were lighted and when the burglars exploded charge of nitro-glycerine in the safe, the people in the neighbor- hood who were aroused by the sound were restrained only by timidiCy from viewing the cracksmen's proceedings through the uncurtained windows of the store. The safe gave the yeggmen considerable trouble and they set of four more charges of explosive before they finished. They did not drill the safe, but knocked off the knob of the door and poured in nitro-glycerine af- ter stuffing other vents with soap. Nothing was used to muffie the explo- sions. The outer door was eventually blown of. giving the thieves access to the stamps, but the inner door behind which was the strong box containing considerable amount of cash resist ed all their efforts. When they went away they left a number of tools in- cluding chisels, a drill and a knife, all marked.
 Among the people who witnessed this burglary were two ladies who live directly across the street from The postoffice. Miss Gould and Miss Water bury. They stood at their bedroom window and saw the yegCmen at work in the store. Igeander Bell. William Simpson and William Waring were also awakened by the explosion and saw some of the cracksmen leaving fine store. but nobody mas good de seription of any of them. There Is no night watchman In SpringSlaie al- though there have been mary burglar ies there. In the last seven years hYe safes have been blown open in Miller's store. On September ?. i904. burglars secured cash amounting 10 httie over seO. and on March l6. of the pres ent year. the store WIS burned t was suspected at the time that the fire was set to cover burglary. T1e fire loss was estimated at SLIGO. NIT Miller built a new building of brick and resumed business In it only few weeks ago.

CLARK THE MAN
Bank Examiner Oldham Says He is Responsible
 for Bank Wreck.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 26-"The oper- ations of T. Lee Clark, cashier of the Enterprise National bank, wrecked the bank, there is no doubt. Whether we can duplicate anybody else with him in the wrecking of the bank is another question. A cashier with the leeway Clark had could have conceal ed almost anything. If we are ever able to duplicate or convict the per sons who were guilty with him in wrecking the bank 1t will be through no traces of his associates left by Clark, so far as I can see at present. A clever man can conceal almost any thing if he has the opportunity that seems to have been aoffrded in this instance. There seems to have been no check on the cashier"
 This was the statement of Special Bank Examiner F. l.. Oldham, sent here at the request of the United States department of justice to ils es- tigate the banks condition last night after spending the entire day and evening in looking over the banks papers. MT Oldham said he had made enough discoveries in the one day to warrant an investigation by the de- pertinent of justice to the end of mak- ing criminal prosecutions.
 q have discovered enough evidence to warrant a report to the department of justice," continued MT oldham, "and an expert will probably be sent to go over the banks papers with the object of discovering evidene to show who participated with Clark in the running of the bank. The receiver, Mir Cunningham, Is an expert, but as a receiver he is too busy with other things to make this special inyesti- gation,"

GENERAL TREPOFF IS
 HELD RESPONSIBLE E
Garrison of St. Petersburg Placed Under His Command -nartiai Law is Net Proclaimed Yet-Troops Are Now Stationed in Various Parts of City to Prevent Trouble

St Petersburg, Oct 26.-By imperial order the garrison of St Petersburg has been placed under the command of General Trepoff, assistant minister of the interior, who is held responsible for the safety and order of the capi- tai, and the troops distributed in yarl- as parts of the city, but martial law . with its accompanying hardships has not been proclaimed.
 The garrison of St Petersburg has hitherto been included in the military district of St Petersburg, of which Grand Duke Vladimir is chief
 All the ministers to-day were in con- ference with General Trepoff. They are deliberating on an enlarged law of assembly.
 Russia is practically isolated to-day from the rest of the continent of Eu- rope as the international train service on all the lines has virtually ceased. The tie-up in the interior is more c0m- plete than yesterday. The only trains running are operated by the railroad battalions.
 The strike contaglon is spreading. All classes of workmen are organizing sym%at1retic strikes and industrial life in t Q country is coming to stand still
 T le situation cannot long continue. Eit.Ier the workmen will soon be starved into submission or pillage with military interference and bloodshed on a large scale are bound to follow.
 At Moscow 600 cabmen have already fought the strikers. whom they charge with taking the bread out of their mouths. In many cities, especially Moscow, the question of food is be- coming extremely serious.
 Collisions between trops ando strik- several places.
 At Ekaterinoslav regular pitched battle between the soldiers and strik- CTS was fought and the city was left In darkness. But as a rule the reyo- Iutionary leaders are keeping their men In hand.
 Communication by telegraph with many interior points is interrupted.
 The whole country is becoming alarmed and in St Petersburg an in- clpient panic prevails. The boats and the Finish trains, now the ony means of egress. are crowded with people fleeing abroad. The situation here has grown muh worse over night. The ranks of the 10000 workmen from the mills and factories who joined the strikers yesterday were increased by 5000 more this morning. All the employees of the port. 4,0O0 in number, walked ont and 12.000 other men from the steel works left work in a body.
 The inhabitants of St Petersburg awoke to find rhe capital resembling oeleaguered city. The shops in the yasiliostrov district and in all the suburbs are closed, windows are board d and barred and mounted patrols are to be seen everywhere in. the streets. Except in the heart of the city women and children are afraid to venture out. warkmen are gathering at all the places frequented in the days of Father Gapon. but they are quiet and he Cossacks have had no proyocation .o interfere. The general appearance of the town is menaclng.
