FIGHT AT THE ACADEMY
One Man Is Seriously Stabbed
BY Another In The
Mess Hall.

As result of a desperate encounter
between two colored walters at the Ma
val Academy one of the participants
is confined to the Academy hospital
with injuries which, it is thought,
will result fatally, and the Other man
is non est.
For a time it was feared that al
of the walters would be embroiled and
that pitched battle would convert
the mess hall into CORY battlefield.
What started the trouble could not be
learned from the two men, but to their
mind must have been of q desperate
nature. Matthias Wooten, one of the
men engaged in the encounter, threw
a tumbler at George White, the other
waiter. The fight was on and in the
melee Wootten was stabbed in the
left arm and received a terrible slash
in the chest, which is considered most
serious.
Officers of the guard were called and
prevented a general mixup which seem
ed imminent. Wootten's condition is
exceedingly critical.

SHIRT WAISTS AND
 PALM LEAF FANS.
Were the Order of the Day Again at HartordAnother Good Bill Meets Death in the Closing Hour of the Legislature-Related to the Removal of Snow and Ice by Trolley Company.

Hartford, July 13.-The members of the general assembly, coatless and vigorously yielding palm-leaf fans, were in their seats early this morning, endeavoring to dispose of the balance of legislative business. Speaker Hol- comb of the house gave it as his Opin- ion that if the members would attend strictly to business all matters would be cleaned up to-day. The senate cal endar is clear and that body is wait ing on the house.
 In the house this morning concurrent action with the senate was taken i'll indefinitely postponing the bill relating to the removal of ice and snow by street railway companies. The bill was passed originally by the house.
 Under a suspension of the rules a resolution appropriating $19,00O for re- pairs on the Capitol building for two years was adopted.
 By decisive vote the house rejected the senate amendment to the bill con- corning the term of office of appointees of the governor to fill vacancies, which empowers the governor to appoint jul dicfal officers in the event of the fail ure of the general assembly to agree on an appointment. Representative Hallock of Derby claimed that the amendment was designed to get around the Derby judgeship on which there is disagreeing action between the two houses.
 The house rejected after a long dis cussion the favorable report of the committee on constitutional amend ment. which recommended redraft- ing of the constitution, including the addition of certain amendments.
 In the senate this afternoon Senator aige was named as the senate member fthe conference committee on the reappointment of Lucien F. Burpee as judge of the city court of Waterbury.
