THE M'GILL DEATH
REMAINS STILL 4 MYSTERIOUS
 CASE.

Depty Coroner Pond Busy Again With
 the Case Yesterday and Will Probably
 Render Decision To-day.
 Deputy Coroner Pond was busy again yesterday, trying to learn the cause of the death of John MeGin, six ty years old, at the Springside home some time Wednesday morning. The coroner stated last evening that while the case at first bore strong signs ot murder still he had not positively made up his mind but that it was accidental.
 Deputy Coroner Pond was assisted by Medical Examiner Bartlett. Mrs Pond said last evening that both McGil and David Moriarity, his room mate, were mentally weak. There were serious wounds upon McGill's head, and the wounds were more numerous than would have been the case if the de- ceased had merely fallen out of bed. He had fallen out of bed several times in the last few months. There was chair in the room and with this the Medical Examiner Bartlett is inVesti- gating this clue.
 Moriarity is a blind man. He was a stone mason and was stricken blind suddenly about three years ago while working for Norcross on one of the Yale buildings. Moriarity is not in sane, but mentally deficient A singu- lar fact is that no noise or scuff1e in the room was heard by any one as would have been the case probably if murderous blows had been struck, or if there had been a struggle. The au- topsy may furnish the needed inform ation.
 MT. Pond said he had not concluded his investigation last night, but would probably do so to-day He said, as above stated, that he was not at all certain yet that it is a, murder case.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE

At Yale Field Yesterday Was Entirely
 Secret and Lasted Two Hours.
 The practice at Yale field yesterday afternoon lasted two hours and was en- tirely secret. A crowd of about two hundred people, who had gone out thinking there would be open practice, fingered about the gates and expressed much dissatisfaction at not being let in. The men showed at the close that they had had a hard drill. Flanders was brought into the city in a carriage, having sprained his ankle, but the coaches say he will be able to play to- morrow.
 Hockenberger was tried at center and Erwin was back at left guard. The work of the varsity was said to have been much better than Wednesday, all though scored upon by the scrubs.
 Among the new coaches present were William Heffeltinger, '91, and Cochrane, '97.

FOR THE AUS DER oHE CONCERT

Seats May Be Bought Tomorrow in
 Two Places.
 When the sale of seats for the piano recital by Adele Aus der One opens on Saturday morningTat 9 o'clock it will be possible to buy seats either at the Woolsey hall box office or at Stein- ert's. This method has proven both practical and satisfactory in the past, and as the house will be impartially divided between the two places there will be no choice of box offices as to the matter of location. An equal num- Der of the best seats will go to each box office.
 The recital as already announced will takeN place on Thursday evening, No- vember 16, at Woolsey hall at S:15. This wonderful woman combines in her playing noble strength, dramatic force, refreshing simplicity, the utmost brilliancy, altogether with an exquis- ite refinement of technique, and an in- dividuality quite her own, poetic temperament which stamps her as quite apart from and greater than all other women pianists of the d9y.

plies at the Harvey & Lewis Co.'s.

The entire photographic stock of the Howe & stetson company has been purchased by the Harvey & Lewis company, No. S61 Chapel street, and will be offered to the public on Sat urday, the 11th, the sale to continue until the entire collection of apparatus and photographic paraphernalia is dis posed of.
 The opportunity thus afforded pho tographers, both amateur and profes- sional, is an exceptional one and will undoubtedly be embraced by those in terested.
 The appliances and material offered are not of the shopwoFn variety. Every item has positive merit and value. The card stock, including the latest types, styles and shades, is perfectly fresh and in good condition. The cameras, many of them, are of late design and in fine adjustment. There are a num- Der of plate and film cameras, four-tive and five-seven, and a good lot of grand and pocket cameras of very recent model. That part of the collection haV- ing to do with labora tory or darkroom work is very complete, and in it may be found any of the tools required by the working photographer. In the mat ter of lenses there will be an offering of high-grade anatigmatic lenses, several fine rectilinears, regular and wide an- gle. with portrait attachments for any of the lenses now used by hand-camera workers.
 The public is to have this collection at it's own figure practically. The fig ures marked will be ridiculously low compared with tine intrinsic merits of the goods offered, and the sale will go on until not an item remains.

Trenton. Mar. 23 The senate com

An these rates are exclusive of the

since Senator Hillery introduced his

after it was started running.
MIR. Holcomb. who was the first wit
ness, testified that the motor received
thorough testing before it was sold.
