THAT BURpEE BILL.
Committee Is Preparing to Tear It tt
 Pieces.

Whats the committee of the board of finance going to do with Colonel Burpee's $14,000 bill and one from John O'Neill for half what Colonel Burpee wants? Both got some be- fore on the same account, and the claims now pending action are the last for service in connection with the sewage disposal matter. Every body is saying that this is an oppor- tune time to do something towards collecting that much talked of $11,- 900 back assessment bill, but what can you do in that connection so long as the city attorney claims that 1t was settled during MT Elton's admin istration. After reviewing all the evidence MT Kellogg said T can not advise you otherwise than that this report of the expert is final. and if final it is certainly conclusive. must advise you that in my opinion the city of Waterbury is barred from further action upon these assess ments. The committee has not got together on the question yet, but they will do something next week on both claims. It looks now as though
 the courts may be asked to give q ruling on the assessment question be- fore we see the end.

AN EXCITING RACE
Three Leaders iD The National League Neck and Neck
 All Play Today.

New York, Oct 2.-Interest in the stirring fight for the National league baseball championship is more acute than ever to-day, following the de- velopments of yesterday, which re- duced New York's lead to two points over Chicago and Pittsburg. The New Yorks have five more games to play, two with Philadelphia and three with Boston, and must win them all, unless Pittsburg and Chicago meet with unexpected reverses, to win the pennant outright.
 Chicago has two games to play, one with Cincinnati to-day and one with Pittsburg on Sunday at Chicago. If the Chicagos win all of them New York can lose one out of their re- maining five and still tie with Chi cago. Pittsburg has four games to play, three with St Louis and one with Chicago. If the Pittsburgs win all four, the New Yorks must win all five to hold their place at the top. This leaves the protested game be- tween New York and Chicago out of consideration.
 After days idleness the leading teams in the closely contested Amer ican league will resume play. to-day. Detroit, the leader, will play on her home grounds with St Louis as an opponent, while Cleveland and Chi cago, respectively second and third, will play at Cleveland. The three leaders in this league were separated by only ten points when play began to-day.

CHOLERA SCARE
Conflict Is on Between Officials
 al St PeisrsburQ on Account of Discharge of PsiIsnis
JEWS MAY NOT FAST

St Petersburg, Oct 2.-A conflict has arisen between General Dracheff- ski, prefect of St Petersburg, and the municipal sanitary commission over the premature discharge of cholera patients from the city hos pitals. The prefect promptly issued an order that all patients be detain- ed until the cholera germs had com pletely disappeared. The members of the commission declare this course to be impracticable so long as the epidemic continues to rage
 Experiments are being conducted at several of the hospitals with a new anti-cholera serum discovered by an Italian named Serimberi, but the result so far has not been con- elusive.
 The rabbis of St Petersburg have recommended that the Jewish popu- lation disregard the customary fast of Tom Rrppur on October because abstinence is favorable to cholera. This recommendation is said to be without precedent.
 The death yesterday from the cholera of Nicholai Pavloff- f-Silvansky professor of meteorology at the in- stitution for higher learning for women removes one of the most bril- liant of the younger Russian histor- fans. The professor was also head of the department of archives at the foreign office. He died in 12 hours from the time the disease first manifested itself.
 A case of cholera has been discov- cred among the men on guard at the residence of Premier Stolypin.

Must Get Along on $2,OOO Month While Habits Are Inquired Into.

New York, Oct 2.-After more discussion between counsel the hearing on the application of Kath- erine Clemmons Gould for alimony of $10,000 month and counsel fee of $15.000 pending the trial of her suit for separation from How ard Gould was adjourned again yes terday to October 13.
 De Lancey Nicoll appeared as counsel for MT Gould and insisted that he needed the adjournment to procure the dispositions of several witnesses who would corroborate his answer. Mir Nicoll said that he hop ed to prove by these witnesses that Mrs Gould had frequently been seen intoxicated, which would bear upon the merits of the application for large alimony. Besides, Mrs Gould had gone the whole hog" by deny ing in an affidavit that she was ever drunk in her life.
 Clarence J. Shearn. the. Hearst party candidate for governor, de- nounced as false the charges that Mrs Gould was addicted to the ex- cessive use of liquor. It came out upon an inquiry from the bench if Mrs Gould was in distress for lack of alimony, that on Wednesday Mf Gould had sent his wife, through MT Shearn, a check for $2,000, the vol untary monthly allowance he has been making her.
 Justice Geigerich named Charles L. Hoffmann as commissioner to take the testimony of the witnesses named by Mir Nicoll.

IN MANILA BAY
Atlantic Fleet Sails Over Waiers Made Historic By the Dewey
 Victory Ten Years Ago.

Manila, Oct 2.-With the brilliant tropical sunlight pouring down on their polished guns and gleaming paint and swift land breeze whip ping their many flags out straight from the staffs and stirring the bunt- ing that covered the half hundred launches and excursion steamers that, crowded with cheering thou sands, escorted the big ships up the bay, the Atlantic battleship fleet steamed slowly into Manila bay this afternoon and sailing majestically across the battlefield where Dewey and his men fought their historic fight with the Spanish fleet ten years ago, dropped anchor off the city.
 The fleet cleared the south chan nel shortly after noon and steamed up the center of the bay while dozens of launches and steamers sailing proudly along beside the monsters of the navy sounded discordant well come with whistles, cheers and every other noise-making device that could be contrived. The ships presented a magnificent appearance as they moved along and the sight of the long line evoked the widest enthusi- asm and admiration of thousands that crowded every point of vantage. AS the Connecticut led the line past Corregidor the garrison there fired the admiral's salute. The passage of the channel was made in single col umn, but as soon as the last ship in the long line was safely through sig nals were hoisted for the double col umn formation and in this manner the ships steamed up the bay two abreast. As the ships anchored Gen. eral Weston, military commander l. this city, sent a wireless message conveying the greetings of himseii. his officers and the men of the army to Admiral Sperry and his men. Ad- miral Sperry replied thanking him for his kind welcome.
 Governor-General Smith witnessed the arrival of the fleet from his launch. He will probably pay his of ficial visit to the Connecticut to-mor- row, when Manila's welcome to the sailors will be rendered in the form of a great water parade.
