TO REBUILD SACHEM HALL
WORK STARTS TO-DAY
Building in Shape for Re ception of Students in
 October.

Already the scaffolding for the re- building of the two upper stores of Sachem hall has been erected and the actual work will probably be started sometime to-day. The work is to be done by the contractor who originally erected the building, J. A. Church, and to-day he, acting for the Sheffield so- oiety of Phi Sigma Kappa, and. James E. Todd, acting for the insurance com pany in which the society had policy, will decide what the loss is. AS soon as the adjustment has been made the work will go on.
 MT. Church said yesterday that he expected to have the building in shape for the reception of the students by the middle of October, perhaps by the first. The rooms in the society house were all assigned to students in the scientific school and they will have to take apartments elsewhere pending the repairs.
 A great part of the loss sustained is in the room furnishings which were of very fine quality, The ceilings will probably have to be taken down, for they are badly water soaked and would fall within a few months. New plumb ing in all parts of the house will be installed and the house will be redeco- rated.
 The fire was started either by spon- taneous combustion or by defective wiring.

STREET WAR INTERRUPTED
ODDS WERE TWO ONE
One Italian Had Revolver Other Armed With
 Bed Iron.

A two to one Italian fight that was merrily taking place at the corner of Wallace and Myrtle streets, yesterday afternoon was put to an end Just at a critical time for the one man by Ser geant Kliaber and Patrolman Healy of the Grand avenue station. Thomas Mizco was the lonely victim of the wrath of Francesca Bartolomino and Ralph Ricardo. What the origin of the quarrel was is not known but the men were at it for good when the police stepped in. Mizco had in his hand a side of an iron bed which he was welding upon his opponents while Bar tolimino had drawn a revolver with which to cause trouble for his antag- onist. Bartolomino had received the benefit of a good hard hit on the side of the face with his opponents weapon which gave him a badly grazed face, while Ricardo had fared even worse. He received a crack on the arm which is thought to have broken that mem Der.
 All three men are charged with breach of the peace and in addition Bartolomino has against him count for carrying concealed weapons. It is said that the trouble arose over dis pute concerning a job,

BOMB ALL A JOKE
Workmen at New Building Terrified by Harmless
 Machine.
MURDERoUs LOOKING
Battery That Gave Danger ous Look Was Played
 Out.

A joke perpetrated by some titani- cally practical joker caused consider able alarm and trembling in the hearts and breasts of some of the west end residents yesterday and is now the great source of jollying in that same section This way it happened. Some one whose identity is still undiscov- cred arranged conglomerated effect of electric wires, old tin can and dry battery in such shape that the whole had the very realistic appearance of a great bomb, Then to carry out the effect of the thing still better the joker carefully painted on the side of the cen, which he had previously coated with charcoal, the figure of a black hand
 When all was in readiness the joker deposited, unseen, his deadly instru- nlent in a corner of new building which is being erected at the corner of { West Chapel and Norton streets! When the workmen presented themselves yes terday morning for work they found this machine, very terrible indeed in appearance, lying glaring villainously ou' from the corner. When it was seen what the machine was the workmen abandoned the building and call was made for the police to come and in- vestigate the apparatus
 A patrolman was sent from the Dix well avenue station and upon arriving on the scene decide that the engine certainly needed to be handled with the utmost of care. He called for fire men from the Ellsworth avenue house and Edward Hendricks came upon the scene. Hendricks is a lieutenant at the engine house. Intrepidly he ad- vsnced upon the machine and despite the calls of caution that were freely called out to him daringly lifted the engine to find that it consisted of a paint can blacked over, old wire and dry cell battery that was completely dead and could injure nothing. The black hand plot thus vanished into thin air, as the ancients would say
 and this is the reason the west end is sensitive when anyone mentions black ] hand deadly machines to-day

 Saloons.

For the past two years we have held these conventions at Savin Rock; this year we came to Bridgeport. I do not inlag- inc that this convention will be very much different .from any of the others. We shall simply transact our business. talk over matters of interest to the trade and renew old acquaintances.
 This convention is scheduled for two days but we may be able to finish all our business in one day, Any out slider who will glance over the faces of the men who have gathered here to-day to attend this convention, can see at once that we are men of differ ent oalibre than what some people would have the general public be- lieve.
