 Marksmen.

Yesterday was governors day at the camp of the First regiment at East Haven, and as Governor Woodruff was in Pennsylvania the camp was visited by Lieutenant- Governor. Everett J. Lake. As had been planned from the start everything was very informal, and there was no review, as is the cus- tom each year at Mantle.
 Lieutenant Governor Lake came from Hartford yesterday noon and went by auto to East Haven. He was accompanied by Lieutenant F. C.. Bal Icy and Captain T. A. Kimberly of the First company, Governors Foot Guard of Hartford, and Building In- spector F. J. Bliss The machine was left just outside the lines. when the party arrived shortly after 1 o'clock, and MT. Lake and his companions went to the headquarters. There was not an idle man in camp, and this appealed favorably to .he visitors Those who were not shooting were otherwise working, and the lieutenant governor was escorted through the ranges. Captain Cheney of Company q was in charge of the 200 yard range; Captain Delamater If Company K, was in charge of the 3Q0 yard range; Lieut.. John H. Dowd of Com pany II, was in charge of the 500 yard range; Lieutenant Blair of Com pany E, was in charge of the 500 yard range; Lieut.. Herbert King of Com pany K, was In charge of the 1000 yard range.
 Mir. Lake was invited t. shoot with the marksmen and acceptcd the invi- tation at several of the ranges. Out of 30 targets he broke s7 tn the 200 yard range; on the 300 yard range hc broke 32; out of 50 on the 500 yard range he broke 22.
 Mir. Lake was escorted about the camp by Captain Carroll of Company M, who was officer of the day; Lieu tenant Fechner of Company A, officer of the guard and Lieutenant Maurice of Company B, supernumerury officer of the guard. He stated after the in- spection that he was very pleased with the work.
 The shooting ended at about 6 o'clock and then MT. Lake and his companions were given an informal reception. As several companies of ! the first regiment come from Hart l ford, all four of the men in the party were well known and wsre given an ] ovation when they left the camp early | in the evening.
 The shooting at the camp during the past two days has been excellent and a large number of men qualified as marksmen, The company with the 1 largest number of marhsmen was Company K, in which over half the

PLAN FINE BRIDGE
But Edgewood Avenue Resi- dents Will Have to Wait
 a While.
IT WOULD COST s75,ooo
Grand Avenue Crossing Considered, But No Action Is Taken Yet
 by Committee.

Two costly propositions were consid- cred by athe aldermanic committee on railroads and bridges last night. One was the petition of residents around the vicinity of West river on Edge wood avenue for a handsome new bridge across the river on that street Attorney George Hall appeared for the project last night and he brought with him very handsome water color painting of the bridge and approaches as 1t was desired to have them. The committee considered the matter, but decided to table 1t for further consid- eration. It was figured by the commit tee that the project would cost the city about $75,000 at least and as the pub lie works department is now consider ing new bridge across the river at Whalley avenue and the city cannot take up the two at once the matter will be postponed for some time yet.
 The plan as presented by ex-Alder- man Hall calls for beautiful struc- ture. It proposes to have the roadway ITO feet wide, concrete bridge of one arch to span the river, allowing for park driveways underneath along each bank of the river. The bridge itself 1t is figured would cost s40000
 Tn executive session the committee discussed the project for the elimina- tion of the railroad crossing in Grand avenue near the police precinct and city engineer Kelly was called into consultation to give an estimate in the cost of the project. He figured that the entire cost of the bridge with grading and so on would be about $225,000 to I $240 900. This is figured on the pro posed plan of bridging the street over the tracks of the railroad company. It 1 Is estimated that in the work the tracks would. also be depressed about two feet. On addition to the cost of the structure of the bridge itself there would be the cost of acquiring damaged property on each side which Is set at a maximum of s50S,000 assessed prop erty Not all of this would be needed, however. and aobut $500,000 1t is thought would represent the entire cost of the work. The committee did not decide on any report on the mat l ter, but will hold another executive session next week for further discus f SIvn

 IN GOULD CASE Millionaire Summoned by the Defense to Hearing of the
 Charges of Con
 spiracy.
JULIA FLEMING CONFESSES
May Be Welded In Tombs To-day Miss MacCanslan Repeats Her Story on the
 Stand.

New York, July With Frank Jay Gould, the millionaire, in the court, the hearing of the case of al legged conspiracy to manufacture di- vorce evidence against him was begun this afternoon. He had been sub poenaed by the lawyers for the three prisoners in the case, Mrs. Ben Teal. Miss Julia Fleming and Detective Mousley and for nearly four hours he sat beside his counsel listening to the remarkable testimony that was given. During most of the hearing his face wore a half amused. half serious expression, but when the chief witness against the defendants ldsn- tlfied the affidavit she says she signed at the request of the defendants and the document was read Mir Gould smiled and chuckled softly for several minutes
 There were three sensational incl- dents at the hearing, The first came up when Lawyer Carpel, who appears for Miss Julia Fleming, one of the prisoners announced that his client had made a confession. The second was when the lawyers for the defense said that they intend to show that Miss Mabel MacCauslan, the millin- CTS apprentice. who accuses the prls- oners of having bargained with her 10 sign an affidavit against Mir. Gould went to Mrs. Ben Teal with a story that she had evidence against Mir. Gould which she wanted to sell to Mrs. Gould's lawyers and that she thought Mrs. Teal could tell her who to go to.
 The other sensation was the an nouncement that Miss Fleming. who is still prisoner in the Tombs. is to be married tomorrow. A request 'to have bail reduced in her case was made, but even if she is compelled to remain In the Tombs the wedding will take place. provided the prison ofii- cials consent
 Mrs. Ben Teal, wife of one of the most prominent theatrical managers In America. and the principal figure In the case, was accompanied to court by her husband and two women friends. She was elaborately dressed and tried to bear up bravely while Miss MacCauslan was telling her story

WAS MISSIONER THERE?
Doubt That Witness in Rudd Case Saw
 One of Local Board at Ihnc's.

Doubt That Witness in Rudd Case saw
 Ono of Local Board at Ihnc's.
 There was considerable speculation in town last night regarding the iden- tity of the local police commissioner mentioned at the trial of State Police man Rudd yesterday in West Haven as having been in Ihne's place at the time of the raid.
 Several of the commissioners were seen last night by reporters of this pa per and each denied that he was the guilty one. In many starters It Is be- lleved that there must be mistake in the identity of the man supposed to have been In the Savin Rock hotel, for lt Is figured that had some one actual ly seen a New Haven commissioner drinking there, an official action of some sort would have been taken be- | fore this.
 IL was stated at the hearing that the state slueths have the name of the commissioner and that If their allega- tons are true. an arrest might follow. so far Mayor Martin has not been onl- clally notified of the facts in the case so nothing fin the shape of an investl- gation has been started.

Boston, July 24.---None of the four suspects taken in by the D Dice to-day in their search for the bandit gang which terrorized the Jamaica Plain district, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, had been positively identified tonight as concerned in the shooting.

FALL PROVES FATAL
Timothy Connors, Knocked Down in Quarrel, Dies
 at Hospital.
TOOK PLACE JUNE 27
Coroner Investigates and Other Party to Fight Is Held in S1 1000
 Bonds.

A quarrel which occurred during the small hours of the morning of June 27 resulted in the death of one of the par ticipants. Timothy J. Connors of 215 East street who died yesterday after noon at the New Haven hospital. The other participant in the fight was Charles Kelly of 226 Wallace street and he was arrested at the time on a charge of breach of the peace. As Connors had been taken to the New Haven hospital the case was postponed until the outcome of the injury was learned. Death was apparently due to fracture of the skull. Kelly had been held under bonds of sl,000 and after the investigation by Coroner Mix last night he was again held under the same amount of bonds and the breach of the peace charge was allowed to stand un- til the investigation of the coroner Is completed which will probably be to- day
 As soon as he learned of the death of Connors Coroner Mix arranged for an autopsy to be performed by Medi- cal Examiner Bartlett and this was held at the hospital last evening. After the autopsy the coroner started his in vestlgation at his office out had not completed it when he adjourned for the night.
 From the evidence which was taken it seems to be the opinion that Kelly was not very blameworthy in the mat ter and it looks as if it might be a question whether he will be formerly charged with manslaughter at all. IA number of boys were witnesses of the
