THE GARBAGE QUESTION.
City Engineer Cairns Explains Some -. Things to Committee.

The committee appointed by the mayor to consider the question of col lection and disposal of garbage held a meeting Saturday night and lis tened to a talk from City Engineer Cairns with reference to his inves- tigations regarding the best plan for the city to adopt. The plans are still incomplete. but 1t is thought that be- fore long the committee will be in a position to report something definite. The engineer Is looking into the cost of the most modern methods of col lection and disposal and it is sus- pected that he has his eye open for a change of location of the plant, too, but that will not come right away. The plant will stay where 1t is until it needs touching up again and it is hinted that by that time a new one will be in operation in some other part of the town The bills of the en- gineer, amounting to about $30, were recommended for payment, but the committee didn't see why the bill of H. NJ. Rigney of $500 for the collection and disposal of garbage should have come before them. because they had nothing to do with it, and they there fore ordered it returned to the de- partment of finance, whence 1t came to them.

A Record Breaking Crowd to See
 Sl6.OO0 Stake Run Of.

New York, May 21.--Twenty-fve thousand persons were expected to see the running of the Brooklyn handicap at Gravesend to-day. The stake is worth about $16,000 to the winner the distance a mile and quarter and the race the fourth of the Brooklyn Jockey clubs spring meeting. With dry, fast track and, an ideal but cool spring day interest in the big event was nigh and there was some hope of touching the rec ord at 2:05 2-5 for the Brooklyn handicap made by Irish Lad when he outran Gunrre in 1903. The field was. however. not regarded as like ly to endanger the record of 2:02 4-5 for the distance which was scored by Broomstick in the Brighton handicap in 1904.
 Among the eighteen entrants Frank R. Hitchcock's Hamburg colt Dende- lion was high favorite in the early betting but there was much disap- pontment over the withdrawal of Artful. the favorite and the Whitney entry. which took place several days ago. But with Delhi, the winner of last years Brooklyn handicap. the Picket and Proper. respectively first and third in the handicap of 1901. Roseben. winner at short distances.

THE OAKvILLE ABUTMENTs.
"A Force of Men Now at Work Tear
 ing Them Down.

After long pause the railroad company finally decided to make a start on the work of removing the abutments at the oakville crossing, a force of men being put to work at the job this morning with the understands ing that operators will be kept until the work is finished. This means that the trolley company can now go ahead and build its road to Water town as soon as. it pleases. Some time ago the trolley advocates got mad at the city officials because they refused to pay all the cost of getting things into shape for the street railroad at that point They claim that all 1t amount to would be to defer the troll ley and that in the end the city would have to foot the bill. The railroad of ficials gave the city black eye in the fight by authorizing the trolley to proceed without any conditions but the city took the case into court and kept up the fight until the other fel. lows said they had enough and agreed to settle by letting the city out of it at a third of the total cost. something oliver S6.OOO. It was decided to take this. although John 0'Neil wasn't | bit afraid but himself and Mir Kel- logg would whip the two railroad
 up. The battle was started under the regime. and the settlement was af- fected while Mir Elton was in office.

 jed His Teeth in His Neck.

 It seems that the boy saw the dos come in from the woods near his home with woodchuck in his mouth and the lad took the dead animal away from him. The dog becoming angered jumped on the boy and sank his teeth in his back. neck and face. making frightful wounds. Dr Bull was called in to attend the boy and said that while the wounds were pretty severe they were not neces. sarily fatal !. The dog was killed by parties living in the neighborhood Of the boys home.

Stearns, of the Phil lips Andover academy, following the discovery that body of students on Friday night last, dragged John NJ.

After the baseball game with Princeton, Friday, headed by brass band, a crowd marched to the inn and called out Stewart. Some of the boys quick ly surrounded the man and proceed- ed to pond nearby, where Stewart was caught hand and foot, and hurl- ed into the water. before he was per mitted to get back to shore he was ducked several times and pretty thor oughly chilled. At chapel this morn ing, Principal Stearns, who had learn ed of the occurrence. expressed re- gre tthat the boys had permitted themselves to become involved in such an affair and he announced that m investigation would be conducted. According to a statement made by Principal Stearns. to-day, only half q dozen boys knew of the scheme to punish Stewart. He was not prepared 10 say what action would be taken until the investigation was completed.

PRETTY RASH
 UNDERTAKING
AERoNAUTS WILL ATTEMPT TO
 CROSS BALTIC SEA.
The Distance to Be Covered is About One Thousand Miles-The Aus trian Government is Inter-
 ested in tho Trip.

New York, May 21.-A cable de spatch to the Herald from London, says: More remarkable than any feat of aerial navigation on record is tie balloon trip to be made from London this week by Prince Jaime of Bour- bon and Baron Josef von korwin, q lieutenant in the Austrian army
 It now develops that the aeronauts will attempt to cross the Baltic se;l to some point in Austria. covering the distance of approximately one tilUu- sand miles.
 The expedition will be without parallel, the nearest approach to 1t being the voyage made by Comte de La yaulx, from Paris to kieff, i'll Russia during the Paris exposition.
 The start is to. be made from the grounds of the Austrian exhibition to-day If the wind holds right. Baron yon Korwin explained last night that the balloon will be inflated with pure hydrogen because it has dou- ble the carrying power of ordinary gas.
 .We are using hydrogen for the purpose of making greater head way,'' he said. lin spite of the fact that it is quite dangerous.
 We will carry enough provisions to last forty weight hours, life belts and quanity of grease. the same as IIolbein used in Swimming the chan mel, in case of an accident in crossing the sea. "rhe balloon and its equip ments weigh 900 pounds, the ballast 1900 while the human weight will he 800. The ascent will be made any day this week when the wind is blow ing from the north of northwest"
 The trip is planned in the interest of the Austrian government.
 Baron von Korwin has made 1000 ascents and 13O voyages during the last ten years. He is the head of the balloon department in the Austrian army.
 Prince Jaime is the son of Don Carlos. of Bourbon. who through his position as head of the Bourbon-An- iou family. claims the right to the throne of Spain.

 Axe-Killed Himself.

Woodcliffe, N. J.. May 21.-John Cole killed his daughter Maria with an axe to-day, attacked his wife with the same weapon, striking her in the head and probably fatally injuring her and then killed himself with a revolver bullet. The tragedy fol- lowed the departure from Coles house of young man to whom it is said the daughter was engaged. The girl was still standing on the steps when the young man turned to wave her goodbye. The girl was still looking in the direction in which the young man had disappeared when her father, axe in hand, sprang out at her, and drove the axe into her skull. She fell. dying intsantly. As the girl fell her mother ran from the house and was immediately attacked by Cole, who rendered her uncon- scious with a single blow. Then the man hurriedly drew revolver and killed himself
 The Coles came here to live a week ago and but little was known about them by their neighbors. The father was an engineer. The young man who left before the murder is in business In New York city. He was some distance away from the house when the girl was killed and left without learning of the murder.

 ESTED PARTIES TO-DAY.
He is a Member of State Board of Ar. bitration--He was at Strike

Hour.

Hiram Fox of New Haven mem. member of the board of arbitration and mediation was in town today to see if he couldn't do anything to- ward adjusting the difficulty between the union bricklayers and masons and those contractors who keep open shop.
