TRAINER BITTEN BY BEAVER.
Thought That Heat Drove Animal AL
NEST to Madness.

James Collins, an animal trainer,
employed by Or" ]. Spiegel of Al
bany, N. Y, and who gives nightly ex-
hibltions corner of George street with
two or three trained beavers, was Sc
vereIy bitten by oneof these animals
in the Boardman building yesterday.
Collins has care of the beavers. which
are kept in a large water tank when
not on exhibition.
Either because Of the extreme heat,
or because it was out of sorts general
", a large female beaver, which Col
Inns was trying to shift from the water
tank into a coop filled with hay, did not
take kindly to his attentions and sank
it's teeth through Collins right wrist.
The animals terrible teeth, which are
capable of telling the toughest forest
trees, went through Collins wrist as
If it was so much putty, and the jaws
snapped shut like steel trap. 1t was
sometime before assistance was secur-
ed. and great difficulty was experience
ed in prying open the animals jaws.
Collins was taken to nearby drug store
and laterlhad his wounds cauterized by
physician.

would probably be impossible. It's modi-
fication, even though congress perfect
ly we'll recognizes the need for such
action, would be difficult. Whatever Is
done will have to be accomplished un-
der the stress of severe pressure. This
is why the administration evidently is
more disposed to begin by pressing adj
ditional legislation rather than repeal
measures upon the legislative body. In
all probability the Sherman act will be
left to become dead letter, neither re-
pealed nor enforced. The extent to
which this will take place. according to
officials who are interested in the SUBJ
ject, will be likely to depend very large
ly upon the extent to which adequate
remedies for bad industrial conditions
are supplied. AS these appear It will be
less. necessary and appeals will grow
more and more infrequent.

DEER COMES VISITING.
swims Across the Harbor and Lands
in front Of Union station.

A good deal of excitement was caused
yesterday morning when wild deer
swan from the harbor up to the rail-
road yards Directly in front of the
Union station The deer was evidently
on a tour Of inspection, and must have
been misinformed 1t had probably
heard Of the fine new station, the New
Haven road says it is going to erect
some day, and had crossed over the
harbor, thinking the new station was
Already a reality and not myth
The deer which was young doe,
climbed up the wharf plate and them
started one Of the liveliest races ever
seen at the station. 1t seemed almost
impossible for him to get through the
crowd for there were many railroad
men in waiting The young deer ran
right into the arms, Of several car
knockers, but he slid through their
hands Just like creased lightning.
The deer was now thoroughly fright
ened and made leaps to get away. He
steered direct for the passage way near
the baggage room, but was again
stopped, this time by Thomas Jones,
of 1873 Columbus avenue, who took
such an active part in saving the resi-
dence of Mr.. Ludington, in the recent
fire at Lyme, and one of the depot
policemen. The deer got away twice,
but thoroughly tagged, he was again
captured by the two men and carried
away in the police wagon to DR..
Kelley's veterinary establishment.
Zones got several scratches in the
tussle with the animal 1t Is believed
that the deer escaped from some of
the deer preserves near this city, pos
sibly from the park of A. M. Young,
at Pine Orchard. The game wardens
will be notified of the capture and the
deer will be kept In custody for a
few days hoping that he may be claim
ed by his owner and then, if not claim
ed, he will be released.

STARTING BRIDGE WORK.
Five Arches for Structure ut Crown
Street Extension.

GAEEGA b&AChhAOhs
Bridge workmen of the New Haven
railroad are cutting the fastenings Of
the old Wooster street bridge over the
railroad cut preparatory to removing
the superstructure, and later the heavy
stone abutments will be taken down,
Substituted for the bridge will be the
new bridge which is to be erected for
the proposed extension of Crown street
into Wooster street. Grown street Is to
be extended from State street across
the new railroad cut into Wooster
street, and already three of the wooden
truss forms are in a place and third
is nearly installed, 1t will require six
of these forms upon which the new
bridge, about 400 feet long, is to be
built.
This will be the longest bridge erect
ed over the railroad in this city. The
reinforced concrete construction is to
be built upon these frames, and after
wards the frame structure will be re-
moved. Built of steel reinforced by
concrete, it is claimed that all of these
bridges across the new railroad cut
will be solid and substantial The
bridge, which is now called the old
Wooster street bridge, was built only
few years ago of steel on the old stone
abutments, having been substituted for
the ancient wooden structure, with
trusses separating the roadway from
the sidewalk. Over two months has
been consumed already on the new
bridge, and it will probably be two
months more before it is completed,

Position of Congress.

In considering the possibility of any
progress along the lines referred to, it
is necessary to take account of the
question what will be the position of
congress. Members of that body have
already manifested a strong disinellna-
ton to consider any new legislation on
the question of corporation and railroad
control. Unwilling as congress however
it to take up matters relating to the
further restraint of the enterprise men
toned, it would probably be still more
difficult according to the present opin-
ion here) to get action repeating any
of the legislation now on the books I'M
less it could be done in some Inconspic-
uous way. To repeal the Sherman act

SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES

New York, July lS.-The Washington
correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce writes to his paper that on look
ing over the antitrust situation to see
at what points 1t can be improved upon,
federal officials of the well-informed
type are clearly Of the opinion that
there should be repeal or decided
modification of the Sherman act. Two
main reasons are assigned for this
view. One is the unsatisfactory state
into which the act has been brought by
the decisions of the federal supreme
court. The other is the fact that no
adequate remedy is provided under the
act for the lines of conduct which 1t
prohibits. The fact that, as things now
stand, the act has been Interpreted to
prohibit almost every contract Of any
kind (since practically every contract
is more or less 'ln restraint of trade'D
makes the law dangerous weapon in
the hands Of demagogues and throws
upon the administration responsible
ity in applying 1t that may be made
the foundation for charges of partial
ity. The fact that 1t furnishes no sat-
isfactory means for the prevention of
the acs complained Of makes of little
use in practice.
