NO WAR YET
HollsUd Will Investigate Before Beginning 10 Fire on
 Venezuela.

The Hague, July 2S.-The talk of bombardment by Holland of ary Venezuelan port or ports or even a naval demonstration in Venezuelan waters as a result of the difficulties between the Netherlands and he government of President Castro was to-day characterized in official circles as premature. The rupture it was explained was up to the pres ent time diplomatic only. The Meth erlands cruiser Gelderland was or- dered to Porto Cabello to watch over Dutch interests, should occasion arise.
 The foreign office has instructed Minister De Reus, who was expelled from Venezuela by President Castro to come here immediately and re- port fully on the existing situation.

DON'T LOSE YOUR TRAIN.
West Main Street Station Was
 Abandoned To-day.

Immediately after the departure -of the lI:13 p. m. train for Water town to-day the station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- read at West Main street was aban- doned and Ticket Agent F. N. Sack cit packed up his things and moved to the new temporary station in Meadow street, near the foot of Grand street.
 Waterbury folks who have pa- tiently borne with the inconven- fences resulting from the removal of stations since the old station was abandoned, will be glad to know that this will be the last change in location until the new station $ ready for occupancy. The new sta- tion, it is promised, will be one of the most magnificent structures in New England devoted to railway business. 1t will be building of which the city may well be proud.
 The temporary station is only three or four minutes from the Bank street station. Trolley passengers may go down Bank street to Meadow or they may go by trolley out West Main to Church street and then walk through Church street to Grand street and thence to the sta tion-a walk of from three to five minutes
 The transfer from the old to the new was made without hitch and at 20 minutes to l2, 35 minutes be- fore the first train was to pull out, everything was. in readiness at the new station. It Is a wooden struc. ture, in many ways similar to the one vacated. and has about 100 yards of board walk on either side of 1t. It Is couple of hundred feet south of the real station that is now well under way.
 The mos. disagreeable part of the station will be the approach. It is some distance from the trolley lines and consequently it should be a money maker for the hackmen. The best way to get to 1t Is to go over State street and down Grand. There Is no walk or path to the station as yet, but in few days the sand should be so trampied upon that a hard walk shorld be the re- suit.
 As a person goes to the station he cannot help but wonder at the tre- mendous amount of work that has been done and Is still going on there. The walls of the new station are well up while the tower of the building is showing itself above everything. The retaining wall on Meadow street, which completely hides the small buildings that were at the bottom of South Willow, Is about finished while a small army of men are unloading sand from cars for filling in purposes.
 The outside of the new Union sta- tion will not look nearly as hand some as some people imagined. The elegant brick which was originally to have been used in the structure is conspicuous by its absence, but If the station is serviceable the pub lie will forget about the absence of handsome material.

H0LD-UP TO-DAY.
Baker Kaufman Had Revolver Point
 ed at His Head.

This little town of ours is getting real city like for this afternoon about ? o'clock a daring hold-up was attempted on South Main street a short distance below Smith, x Griggs'. AS Henry Kaufman, the baker of 91 North Elm street, was driving along in his wagon, three men ran out in front of him and pointing a revolver at his head told him 10 throw up his hands. Before they had chance to relieve Henry of his money a trolley car came along and the robbers "skooted. ' Kaufman said his horse was going at leisure gait when the men ap- peared and one of them grabbing the animal brought 1t to halt.
 Throw up your hands and be the gun and as Kaufman saw the revolver on a level with his head he proceeded to do as requested.
 z While one man covered him with the gun another was about to enter the wagon when the sound of the car was heard. The hold-up evil dently was poorly planned for the men were only at their work a mo- ment when the car came buZzing Kaufman lost was a loaf of bread.
 Kaufman reported the incident at police headquarters where the sup position is that the men were fell lows who were trine hungry.

TAFT ORATORY
Formally Notified To Day in Gin. cinuaii of His Nomination
 10 Presidency
OUTLINES HIS POLICIES

Cincinnati, July 2S.-Standing on
 flag draped platform in front of the
 old colonial portico of his brothers
 house, William H. Taft to-day accept ed the nomination of the republican
 party to be it's candidate for the presidency. Political leaders from far and near gathered to give the affair
 its political significance while from the city and surrounding suburbs friends and admirers turned out in countless numbers and without any regard to party affiliations. The day was made holiday.
 His official notification combined a political jubilee for the city of Gin cinnati. an historic gathering of na- tional party leaders and an occasion for the announcement by the candi- date of his political tenets, designed as the text of republican oratory throughout the campaign. Notifica- tion day broke with roar of can non from the seven hills which look ed down at o'clock this morning through the customary haze and smoke to discover the city in the flut- ter of liveliest animation, bedecked and garlanded, flags flying and ban ners waving. streets thronged, bands playing and budding carnival of riotous enthusiasm in the process of going into full bloom. The notifica- tion ceremonies at the historic Taft mansion on Pike street were led up to and were followed by minor dis palys in the days programme. The name of Taft" was on every lip and the Taft smile" was commented on as being universally in evidence. It was half after nine o'clock when the crowds began to participate in the exercises. This early ceremony con- stituted simple expression of neigh borly affection. Charles P. Taft was made custodian of huge American flag which was raised to the top of a fifty foot mast erected in the front yard of the Taft mansion--the. gift of the people of Cincinnati to the Taft family with the single stipulation that 1t be raised whenever the candi- date Is in the city and lowered dur ing his absence. The presentation was made the occasion for an invoca- tion by Bishop David H. Moore and an address by Former Congressman Jacob Cromwell and response by Charles P. Taft. The yard and streets had been thronged with people from early morning to witness the flag raising ceremonies. America" sung by the .assemblage. selections by band and by members of the Yale and Woodward alumni formed a part of the programme. Benediction was pronounced by Rev George A. Thayer. Meanwhile band concert was being enjoyed by an immense crowd sur rounding Government square some blocks away and marching clubs were making practice marches.
 A long line of solemn looking car riages appeared before the Hotel Sin ton early in the forenoon and the members of the notifying committee of the republican national committee by the numerous mem bers of the national committee who had come to attend the ceremonies took their places for professional drive to the Taft residence to par take of a notification breakfast. This little feature was devoid of all cere- mony.

SLICE OFF GREEN.
Would Widen Thorouehfare in Gen.
 ter and Relieve Congestion.

People who like more room about the center are talking of taking steps to have the corner of he green from where the dead elm has been removed let into the street They sugges. that the line go hack 10 a point near the sign post, which would take In a good strip and would relieve the eoneested condf- ton of things in that neIghborhood. Such a thing may happen. but it Is extremely doubtful. for there is a strong prejudice against looping anything on the park. and perhaps it Is we'll that this Is so. for if an unsympathesie public got taste Of it al all T. Is quite likely that they soon would have an appetite fo- more and In a short time there wouldn't be any of it left. One mza suggested to-day that the Welton fountain and he Soldiers monument be removed 10 Hamilton park and the whole green termed into one grand boulevard such ss Waterbury needs. saanv thought the man vas jesfinE. but he wanted it understood that he vas in esrues so far ss the park and the fountain went. bat he admitted that he didn't mean 10 iu- clude the Soldiers monument. ada ing that he preferred to have that rema1n in the heart of the cfty.

MINISTERS OUT FOR MONEY"
"Churchianity Replacing Christian.
 ity," Says Ohio Preacher.

Akron, O., July 2S.-The Rev Az thur Gee Sunday preached his fare we'll sermon at the Arlington Street Baptist church.
 ''The salary seems to be the meas ure of the man In the pulpit" he said. "The churches are rated ac- cording to their social standing and number of members: there is too much of a commercial feeling in them. Churchianity is taking the place of Christianity. I won't accept any creed to bind my faith. I want liberty to preach and want freedom of speech. I cannot have these as an ordained minister, and therefore I am going to quit.
 Many preachers will not accept 2 low salaried church, and :he amount of salary paid is the measure of the man.
