BRIDGEPORT IS CLIMBING.

Holyoke, July 6.-Backed by. eight congenial spirits, young man named Cornen dropped in here yesterday from Bridgeport and played marbles with the Holyoke youngsters, depart ing with five real agates and leaving but one white alley as memento Of his enjoyable visit. And even this was simply piece of generosity ou nIs part, the three hits on which the one run was tailed in the ninth being somewhat in the nature of presents. No condiments were uncorked to sea- son the contest, and the proceedings were about as pungent as a Connecti- cut woden nutmeg. The score:

THE WAY IN BUTTE.

The grievance of manager stopped the battle between Herrera and Neary out in Butte the night of the Fourth, and as a result there will be war on between the rival fight promoters in the Montana city which will k... the game altogether. The same thing has happened everywhere else with the the same result. For some time there has been danger of fighting being stop ped in Frisco because the managers could not settle their private grievan- ees, and boxing was stopped inl4St Louis the same way.
 Jere Clifford, one time manager of the Montana Athletic club in Butte was the cause of the trouble night be fore last Last fall Clifford matched Herrera and Kid Goodman for fight, and the Mexican at the last minute re- fused to go on. Then and there Cliff ford swore that never again would Herrera fight in Butte. and he made good by getting the police to back him up.
 In the middle of the first round of the Herrera NeaIy go the sherin and bunch of policemen climbed into the ring, waived the fighters to their cof- ners, notified them and their seconds that any further effort to continue the fight would result in their arrest. The sheriff's officers were hooted and hiss ed by the two thousand persons pres ent. Clifford swore to sixteen com plaints against Herrera and Weary and their followers. charging them with committing felony, as prize hghtlng under the Montana statutes is given such A classification.

BAD AUTO ACCIDENT
 OCCURS IN FAIRFIELD
TWO YOUNG MEN THROWN OUT AND SERIOUSLY IN
 JURED.

Machine While Going at. High Speed
 Strikes Carriage of Winfield BOuten,
 of NOrwaIlz, Who Saves His Life by
 Jumping-H. A. Pontius, of Bridge
 port, and E. P. Trimmer, of Water
 bury, Occupants of Car, Rendered Un-
 cOnscious-Auto Blows Up.
 Fairfield, Sept. 29.-While going at a fast rate of speed about o'clock to- night an automobile in which were two young men collided with team driven by Winfield Bouten of Norwalk, who was returning to his home from Bridgeport where he had been on a visit. The automobile struck the car- riage a glancing blow on the side, the man at the wheel being unable to clear 1t, as he failed to see the carriage driy- en by MT. Bouten until he was almost upon it. MT. Bouten jumped and prob ably escaped death, as his carriage was smashed almost to splinters. The automobile was sent up in the air by the force of the collision and turned over before it again struck the ground. The occupants, two young men, were rendered unconscious, but came to in a short time and refused to give their names to Dr. w. H. Donaldson, who attended them. In the pockets of one of the young men, as he lay uncon- scfous on the ground, Dr. Donaldson found letters addressed to Edward l. Futile, city treasurer
 The automobilists were young men, paid well for the care given them, and boarded a trolley car for Bridgeport Their automobile was badly wrecked and later caught fire after an explo- sion which was heared, it is said, for two miles. The remains of the n1a- chine were abandoned and the town was obliged to cart them away.
 Later it was learned that one of the men injured in the accident is H. A. Pontfus, manager of the branch office of a cash register company in Bridge port The companion of Pontious in the car was man named Zimmer, of Waterbury, who was badly bruised and shaken up. MT. Pontious' injuries con- sist of a severe scalp wound, in which several stitches were taken, and a bad ly injured ear, it being feared that the drum is broken. He was also severely bruised. At a late hour tonight his temperature was very high. The auto mobile, which was valued at $1.500, was the property of MT. Pontious, and was uninsured.
 Waterbury Conn.,, Sept, 2S.-Mr. and Mrs. Elon P. zimmer, local agent for the National Cash Register company, left this city on an early afternoon train to-day bound for Bridgeport, where they were to join friends on an automobile trip. It is presumed that MT. Zimmer is the man referred to in the Fairfield dispatch.

 New Orleans, Sept. 29.--With the steady improvement in the yellow fe- yer situation there is expected to be a gradual reduction, beginning next week, of the forces now employed un- der the auspices of the government in the struggle to eradicate the disease.
 Some increase over the very low rec ord of the preceding four days was shown in to-day's report of new cases, but in view of the fact that popula- ton to-day is much larger than 1t was a month ago, the percentage of sick ness is considered exceedingly small. The days deaths showed a decline
 The feeling of uncertainty regarding the visit of President Roosevelt still GAlSIS anu IlleI6 IS SOIIlS dppESIleISlOH that the decision of the American Pub lie Health association to have a com mittee communicate to the president it's sentiments of opposition to the visit at time may cause the cutting out of New Orleans from the present trip. Public opinion is almost 9 unity in believing that the president personally has not a shred of fear in connection with the trip. Any announcement, therefore, that the visit has been deferred will be attributed to the pressure that appar- ently is being brought upon him, It is promised that decision will be given finally on Monday.

FEARED FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.
Real ReasOn Disclosed for Sapan Con-
 cIuding Pence.

Tokio, Sept. Notwithstanding the silence of the government, the real fact is disclosed that Japan made peace at Portsmouth in fear of a financial break down. The war proved more costly than had been calculated, and the rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to failure. Instead of sunlight and warmth during the month of August, when the crops ripen, there was continuous rain and exceedingly cold weather. While some improvement may still be in store 1t is certain that the rice crop prom ises to be. from fifteen to twenty per cent. below the average, and far be- low last years crop, when it was marvelously large. Six months more of war would have meant very hard times, for the masses of the people are very poor, and rice is their bread and meat.
