 Clad only in a shirt and one stloe, with face down. the partly decayed body of John F. Kennedy of 1O6 Rosette street, but formerly of Orange, was found in a field belonging to w. T. An drew in Orange yesterday morning. Kennedy has been missing from his home for two weeks, having left in a demented state. The last time he was seen alive was by John Howard of Tyler City two weeks ago. Kennedy jumped into a pond hole at Tyler City to kill fishes as he expressed 1t, and was rescued by Howard. After giving him some dry clothes Howard allowed Kennedy to go on. That was the last time he was seen until his body was accidentally found yesterday
 The body was removed to the West Haven morgue. where 1t was identified last night by his brother Dennis Ken nedy. The body was taken in charge by the latter. Kennedy was a laborer and about thirty-hve years old. Dr. Barnett, the West Haven medical ex- aminer, said that the body had been exposed week.

E. T. Murphy Dies in Burning House,
 Other Small Fires.
 A fire, which resulted in the death of D. F. Murphy, was discovered at 1o4 York street, early yesterday morning. At an early hour Charles c. Murphy, who lives with his father, D. F. Mur- phy, was awakened by the smell of smoke and sound of groans coming from his fathers room. He found the smoke so dense that he was unable to enter the room. A fire alarm was sent in and a ladder was put up to the win- dow to let out the smoke. But when the flremen reached the mans room he was dead. The body was little Durrl- ed. The fire did little damage to the house. In fact, there was little blaze, but dense volumes of smoke. It was soon put out.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. MT. Murphy was not a drinking man, and it is not known that he smoked. Dr. Bartlett, the medical examiner, was called and he gave suffiooatfon by smoke as the cause of death.

BUSINESS MEN FOR MAYORS
HON ALExADER TROUT ASSERTS
 THEY MAKE BEST OFFICERS.

Problem of the Nation is the Problem
 of the City-"New Haven Not the
 Best Nor Yet the Worst Goyernedc
 City-BeIieves In the Direct Primary
 --Also Urges the Responsibility of
 the Individual
 Hon. Alexander Troup, editor of the New Haven Union, gave an interesting address on civic reform before the Bible class at the Church of the Redeemer yesterday noon. MT. Troup said that he was at first loath to accept the in- vitation to speak before the class when 1t was extended by MT. Sweezey, the leader of the class, but when the latter urged that 1t was his duty he accepted. The invitation came as a result of an extempore address on this same subject made by Mir. Troup at a meeting of the Congregational club in Dwight Place church some weeks ago, in which speech MT. Troup made some sweeping and radical statements with reference to New Haven's city government. MT Troup said yesterday, in part:
 Grave problems have arisen in qlres- tions of city government in the last one hundred years, due to the rapid in crease in city population. The great foreign writers on economics, N. D. Conklin and James Bryce, have looked upon our cities as our greatest peril Our greatest problem Is tie problem of city government. It is, How can we wrest the city government from the hands of bosses, boodlers and saloon- keepers?'"
 The speaker believed that the people in New Haven who favored good gov ernment were largely in the majority, but every one of them was too apt to think that public business was some body else's business. He urged that the election of practical business men was a prime necessity, and cited the admin istrations of Mayors Lewis and J. B. Sargent in proof of the assertion He also declared himself in favor of the direct primary, and asserted that the trouble with city government was that there were too many who took out and too few who put something in.
 The city government of New Haven is not the worst in the country" said the speaker; neither is 1t the best. The main question Is how to get value received for money expended in taxes. There are two vital principles involved first, to have equitable taxation. and. secondly, to have practical business men as servants of the city"
 MT. Troup urged the holding of meet ings and the open discussion of such questions. He commended the efforts of the university in taking the initiative in the formation of league under whose auspices prominent speakers will discuss civic reform before Sunday mass meetings. But he affirmed that the final issue will come at the ballot box, and any one who thinks to com plain should ask himself if he is doing his share.

FRENCH MINE DISASTER;
 WHOLE REGION APPALLED,
WORST FEARS AS TO THE ENOR- MITY OF HORROR REAL

Death List Stands at HOO and the
 Tragedy Has Brought Sorrow to Six
 Thousand Fathers, Mothers, Wives
 and Children-Governmen Officials
 Remain on the scene--President FaI-

 ures and the Chamber of Deputies
 Will be Asked for $1OO,OOO.
 Paris, March 1.-The worst fears as to the enormity of the mine disaster in the Courrieres district of the Pas-de- Calais Saturday morning have been re- alized. The death list stands at 1,100 and the whole of the region stands ap palled at the terrible tragedy which has brought sorrow to six thousand fa- thers, mothers, wives and children.
 The last great mine disaster in France occurred in 1885, when 293 per- sons were killed and eighty injured but that and all others sink into insignifi- canoe before Courrieres.
 The vast mortuary camp is under military guard, four hundred soldiers 44cIN HIS etAllNCQ lllClG u iSSlol III holding in check the crowds of dis tracted mourners. For time hope had been held out to the people that tap ping on pipes by the imprisoned men had been heard, but gradually this hope vanished, and the people demand ed admission to see the bodies, and even threatened to break through the NF yIo ba1 n Aut difficulty in keeping the crowds from the pit. One man named Sylvester suc- ceeded in entering the mine, but he never returned.
 It is believed that he groped about inside until he was overcome by the gases and perished. It is reported that a rescue party numbering forty has been cut off by the caving. in of one of the galleries.
 Minister of Public Works Gautier Minister of the Interior Dubief and the secretary to President Fallieres remain on the ground endeavoring to com fort the distressed families of the min- CTS President Fallieres has given $2,- 0G0 to aid in relief measures.
 The ministry will add further sum to this and the chamber of deputies will be asked to vote $100,000 for the purpose of alleviating distress.
 Ministers Gautier and Dubief have received complete details of the catas- trophe from M, Lavaurs, the director of the mine His voice was ehoked with emotion as he spoke.
 "Of 180O miners who went down into the pits when the explosion occurred" he said, '673 were working in the pit No. 4; 4S2 were in pit No. B 571 in pit No. and the remainder in pit No. 10.
 Those rescued were taken out as fol- lowsa From pit No. 4, 190; from pit No. 8, 15 escaped through pit No. H; 49O came up from pit No. 2 and "A from pit No. 10. A number of these were in- jured and some of these have died since At the present time over 1000 men re- main imprisoned"
 Another director declared that the imprisoned men numbered LIDO.
 Minister Dubief inquired, Have you still any hope? To this the director re- piled: NO, I believe all of them are dead" This was whispered into the ear of the minister in order that his words might not be overheard by the pale- faced miners who stood anxiously about the mine building waiting for an official view of the state of affairs.

 ot. Petersburg, March 11.-Some of the reactionary organizations are push- llig bne agitation against the radical clements to dangerous point. To-dau League of the Russian People, held a service in the Alexandereyskv mon astery to celebrate the manifesto oP warren as a victory for the old regime Later, at the horse guard menage. fife nghtlng society of the same organiza- tlon held public meeting and listened eo lnrlammatory speeches by. Dr. Doub- roVln and Professor Nickolsky. two ex- trelnist leaders, in which the orators openly summoned their followers tha Black Hundreds, to kill the Jews and hang Count Witte.
 Prince Mestchersky, editor of the Grazdanin, who supported the Witte section, charges the bureaucracv vith having sympathy with the court cliona which IS opposing the plans of the cab met, and with melting class hatred and strikes with the purpose of making the national assembly a failure He quotes Professor Nickolsky as declaring that friends of the autocracy should eee thaf a number of reVolutionaries are elected in order to furnish an excuse for dis- perslng< the national assembly with payonets. AS proof of the conplicfty or the Bureaucracy Prince Mestcher- sky prints proclamation against the Jews, which, he asserts, was printed in the typography of the police master With the approval of the censor, and widely distributed. The proclamation. which is addressed to workmen and peasants, declares that the authors of Russia's misfortunes are the Jews. who throughout the world hate Russia And want to rob the peasants of their land and make them their slaves, sunfroek the priests and turn the churches into Jewish stables and pig sties' The proc. lamatlon also asserts that the Arlnenir ans, English and Germans want to de- stroy Russia and divide the country among It's enemies. The proclamation calls Count Wtite supporter of the Jews, and the chief enemy of the co1in- try.
 Prince Mestchersky calls attention to the unrest among the peasants, and warns the beaureaucracy that 1t is playing desperate game in arraiying class against class, If to-day the peas- ants are melted to slaughter millions of Jews, the Armenians tomorrow may be seized with the mania of murder

 Wide Open.
 Cambridge, Mass, March 11.-Lucius Rapp, who was arrested in Harvard Square yesterday, charged with larce- ny from the rooins of Harvard stu dents, was closely questioned to-day by Detective DonneIly of New Haven, Conn.,, and in the course of the inter- view, Rapp acknowledged committing twenty-four breaks in New Haven, the stolen goods aggregating about $S,000 in value. In telling of his thefts at Yale, Rapp said that it was his habit to reach New Haven in the afternoon, go through a room by o'clock and then take the 5 o'clock train for New York. Half an eour after. reaching New York, he said, disposition of the stolen property would be made,
 Tt is wonder that the students at Yale and Harvard do not lose every thing they have" said Rapp. 'The Hutchinson at Yale was always wide open and the room doors were never locked. The students invariably left their jewelry in cases on top of their bureaus or dressing cases, and it was a veritable invitation to a man to help himself"
