BREAD THIEVES IN
Gang of Three Admit Commit : ting Several Depre-
 dations.

A gang of apparently bad young men was gathered in yesterday by Patrolman Owen Walsh, of the Grand avenue station, in the arrest of Thom- sS Mooney, Michael Esposito and John Connell of the Cedar Hill district, The arrests were made as the result of the complaint of Richard E. Kirst, a grocer of 1922 State street, who de- clared that seven loaves of bread had been stolen from the box on his steps yesterday morning. When the arrests had been made and the young men examined they admitted the thefts and also acknowledged that they had talk en four bottles of milk from milk wagon belonging to Augustus Carlson, of Montowese. This also occurred yesterday morning.
 All the young men, who are about eighteen years of age, have records. They stated also that they had been concerned in a burglary of Dinnan's store on Pitkin lane on July 3, when five or six revolvers and one battery had been taken.
 The lads this morning will be brought before court on two theft counts, the burglary matter being held over for further investigation.

TWO BITTEN BY DOG
Consternation at the Hartford Club Caused by a Brindle
 Bull.

Hartford Dec. 11,-There was cen- sternation ct the Hartford club to-day on account of the behavior of brindle bulldog. The animal behaved peculiar ly during the forenoon, and finally bit Julius Ehlers, the chef Owing to it's queer behavior, and the fact that 1t bit another person two weeks ago, the police were notified, and Dog Warden Rustemeyer, was sent for.
 The dog warden went to the Hart ford club and shot the dog. The anil nal was formerly the property of Charles A. Zimmerman, steward of the club.
 The police have been informed that the dog acted as though it had rabies, and as a result precautions are to be taken. Superintendent c. P. Botsford, of the board of health, has secured pos- session of the head of the dog, and will have 1t examined for the purpose of determining whether the dog had rabies. The brain will be sent 10 State Bacteriologist IT. w. Conn, of Middle town. MT. Conn Is professor of biology at Wesleyan college. As the brain was secured immediately after the shooting and will reach Professor Conn in fresh condition, it is expected that he will be able to determine whether the dog was affected with the disease.
 Mir. Bhlers was bitten on the face. His lip was torn and his face was scratched. Dr. Albert R. Keith Is at- tending him.

NEW CUP FOR
 BIG YACHT RAGE Offered by Brooklyn Yacht Club for International Contest Under Any
 Conditions.
MEANS REVIVAL OF
 YACHTING RIVALRY
Purpose of Challenge to Develop Racing Graft on Whole some and Practi-
 cal Lines.

New York, Dec. 11.-A challenge cup for an international yacht contest. to be sailed with wholesome type of boats, under conditions and terms that shall be mutually satisfactory between de- fender and challenger, was offered by the Brooklyn Yacht club at a meeting of the members tonight.
 The trophy, which is to be known as the Brooklyn Yacht club international challenge cup, will cost $3,OO0, and committee was appointed to inform tha foreign yacht clubs that the cup had been offered and that challenges under any conditions would be received.
 The Brooklyn Yacht club will accept challenges for any size or type of boat, and over any course and for any dis tance. The Royal Ulster Yacht club, and other continental yacht clubs have indicated clearly, since Sir Thomas Lip tons recent challenge for the Americas cup with a boat of wholesome design was announced, that further interna- tional yachting events with racing ma chimes and freak boats was not to be considered, and, with the purpose of de- veloping stout and seaworthy racing craft through the stimulus of an inter national contest, the Brooklyn Yacht club tonight offered the new challenge trophy. It lS not believed that 8 chal- lenge for a race next year will be re- ceived, as the time is too short to per- init the design and construction of q bax F0 cup contest.
 Commodore Towen of the Brooklyn Yacht club, in announcing the tender of the cup, said that a committe was appointed by the club some time ago to consider the proposition of offering challenge cup that foreign yachts would challenge for under conditions that would be mutually satisfactory.
 'We have appointed a committee to inform the European yacht clubs, said Commodore Towen, "The Brooklyn Yacht club does not care whether the challenger comes over on her own bot 1 tom or Is brought over in balloon. All that is asked is that the challenging club name the size and type of craft and the conditions they desire to race under, and the challenge will be met"
 The Brooklyn Yacht club decided to- night not to enter any boats in the Bermuda race from Marblehead next ! year.
 l The Bermuda cup was won last June by the schooner Dervish, flying the col ors Of Commodore Morse of the Marble l head Yacht club.

Croog was formerly a resident of this city and the arrest which was made after considerable trouble by Detective Dom nelly in New York a short time ago, was the result of a complaint received over some transaction that occurred in this city before Croog removed to New York Croog resisted the issuance of requisition papers and it was only after a legal battle in New York that he was finally brought to this city to stand trial.
 Attorney Benjamin Slade represent ed the accused. At the conclusion of the case Judge Mathewson held that the alleged forgery had not been prov ed by the state and that the evidence did not show that the transaction had been carried on with any fraudulent intent He accordingly ordered the discharge.

TALK POINTS TO BRYAN
Democratic Committeeman Looking
 Toward Nebraska.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The situation with reference to the selection of a place for holding the next democratic national convention had so simplifed itself tonight that practically all cam didates for the honor had been elimin- ated except Chicago, Louisville and Denver Chicago holds favorite place in the estimation of a great many of the committeeman who are now in Washington, but Roger Sullivan. who represents Illinois on the national com mittee, declares it will be difficult to raise enough money to pay the ex- penses of the convention, This has had a dampening effect on the committee men.
 The Denver delegation was mixing freely with the committeeman and im- pressed upoh everyone their city's readiness and willingness to pay $10o,- 900 to secure the convention.
 There is no talk of any candidate ex- cept MT Bryan. Some members of the committee think 1t Is too early to say any one man is certain of the non1ina- ton, but they admit that the probabil- ities point to the Nebraskan.

INTENSE INTEREST HEfas HEts:
Created by New Development in the
 Railroad Situation.


 Intense interest has been aroused here by the statement coming directly from President Charles S. Mellen at Bostvn that negotiations were in pro- gress for the sale to another railroad interest of the 109,949 shares of capi- tai stock of the Boston and Maine held by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, which practically controls the Boston and Maine corporation. The first re- ports of the negotiations and proposed sale were entirely discreditedss and it was not until the direct statement came from MT Mellen that the truth of the rumor was accepted To rail- road circles here, the fact that the New Haven company would even con- slider proposals of the kind was almost incredible, as the sale would involve almost complete reversal of the pol- icy of President Mellen in securing the practical territorial monopoly of New England by his purchase of the Bos- ton and Maine intereSt.
 At first there was lively speculation as to the interests which were seek ing control The theory that It was the New York Central was rejected on the ground that it was only with that

MINERS DEAD MAY BE 800
Unclaimed Letters and Canvass of
 Homes Raise Estimate.

Mononagh, W. Va, Dec. f.-steadily the mines of the Fairmont Coal com pany are giving up the victims of last Fridays explosion. When to-nights force of rescuers went on duty there had been total of 225 bodies taken out. Others were brought out in groups of two and three at short intervals.
 A number of the bodies brought out to-day did not bear the brass checks used in the company's system of rec ords of a majority of it's employees, thus substantiating the statements of Monday that large number of men and boys in the mines were not included in the checking rolls upon which esti- mates of the dead were largely based.
 It is believed tonight that the num- Der will not fall short of 800.

TAFFY AND BONBONS
Vast Quantity for Sweet Tooth of Tars of Pa
 ciic Fleet.
A DENATURED CANTFEN
Minnesota Fills Last Berth in Imposing Array of Bat
 tleships.

Old Point Comfort, Va, Dec. H. The last vacant berth in the impos- ing double line of Pacific-b bound bat tleships was filled this afternoon when the Minnesota, the flagship of Rear Admiral Thomas, steamed into Ha1np- ton Roads and took her place at the head of the outward column. The Minnesota is the ranking member of the second squadron of the fleet, and Admiral Thomas, who commands this squadron, has duties and responsibili- ties second only to those of the com mander in chief, Rear Admiral Evans. The size and dignity of the fleet Is best emphasized by the, fact that no less than four rear admirals are in command.
 The last supplies of food and ann munition were being placed aboard the ships to-day, and the roadstead was filled with craft of every description.
 One of the most interesting items in the distribution of accommodating sup plies is an evidence of the sweet tooth of the sailor man Great boxes of taf- fly and other candies were piled up on the dock to-day, consigned to the various ships. They are to be placed in what the sailors now call the de natured canteenn It is a tribute to the thoughtful solicitude of the govern ment for the wants of the men that no one of the supply vessels 1b,000 pounds of a high grade of chocolate bonbons have been stored. This is to be drawn upon in case the canteen candies on ship are exhausted before the cruise ends
 That the ships are ready to set sail and that all the more serious work of preparation has been accomplished is shown by the shore liberty given the sailors each afternoon,

 Governor Proceeds.

Boise. Idaho, Dec. Hilary Orchard was the first witness to-day in the pettibone trial. He was accompanied by two penitentiary guards, and in general appearance showed little change since the Haywood trial.

 Orchard says he was one of the 1, 200 men who look possession of train and went to Wardner, and that he touched off one of the boxes of dyna- mite which blew the mill to pieces. He was at Cripple Creek when the strike was called August 10, 1903. He walked out with the rest and said he engaged in high grading at the Vim dicator mine. Orchard then testified >that W. F. Davis, a member of the sNike committee, asked him to blow up the mine while non-union men were at work in it, and he consented to do so.
