BASE BALL TO-DAY.
All Eyes On the Leaders in the Great
 Race.

New York, Sept 30.-With Chicago leading the National league by sin gle point over New York and only four points over Pittsburg and only seven points separating Detroit and Chicago respectively first and third in the American league race, Cleveland remaining in second position, the closing days of the baseball season are fraught with ever increasing in- terest. Through winning it's game with Cincinnati while New York split double header with Philadelphia, the Chicago Nationals dislodged New York from a position which 1t had held more than a month. Supporters of the New York team were much disheartened by the injuries which befell Bresnahan and Donlin yester- day. The games in the National league scheduled for to-day are Chi cago at Cincinnati, Philadelphia at New York, St Louis at Pittsburg and Brooklyn at Boston.
 There was no change in the rela- tive positions of the leading teams in the American league yesterday and only two games are scheduled for to- day. Detroit will meet Washington in Detroit and Philadelphia and Philadelphia and Cleveland play at Cleveland.

YALE IS HAPPY
An Increase oi Nearly a Million 10 ihe Funds and Assets
 ihe Past Year
LOANS FOR STUDENTS

New Haven, Sept 30.-The annual report of Treasurer Lee McClung or Yale university shows an increase Ill the funds and assets of the uniyer- sity with all it's departments, from $s,704,699 last year to s9,64O,246 in the year expiring June 30, 1908. Ihe corresponding figures for income ana expense account are $1,101,536 and $1,163,6OS, respectively The total gifts for the fiscal year past have amounted to $1.263,444, the largest being the bequest of Archibald Hen ry Blount in England, which is $331,- 291. Of this bequest there has been taken $242,903, for the purpose or repayments of alumni for advances on the Hillhouse estate purchase. The gifts to income fo rthe year amount to $76,494, the principal gift being $3O,0OO from the Yale Alumni asso- citation. While the investments show shrinkage owing to the Appreciated value of securities in the market the total defaults of interest have amounted to only $2,sS7, and the re- turn on all the investment taken to- gether is 4.89 per cent, practically the same as last year. The treasurer says that the present investment pol icy leans toward real estate mort gages in New York city and New Ha- ven, railroad long term bonds and short time notes. It is the plan or the treasurer to transfer, If possible, investment $302,543 in academic dormitories to the regular funds.
 Plans are announced for a very ex- tensive system of physical improve ments upon the old academic campus including tree culture and preserva- tion under advice of the forest school. The returns for the Yale dining hall show that during the past year it has paid for both expenses, improvements and depreciation.
 The university endowment and ex- tension fund shows an increase dur ing the year of $333,665 and now amounts to $2,225,99. The accrued debit income balances of the depart ments and institutions of the univer- sity are secured by assets available except in the case of the infirmary where there is an unprotected balance of $4,544 The treasurer explains and approves the new loan fund plan for students lately adopted by the corporation, which substitutes loans for direct student aid.

SISTERS DIE IN FIRE
Howe Was Burusd Down aud
 RsmaIps Were Found ia lhe RUips.

Rockland, Me, Sept 30.--Mrs George Cook and, Mrs Kate Bailey were burned to death in the formers home in Martinsville. St George, early to-day. The women were sis- ters.
 Mrs Cooks home, story and a half house, was a short distance from the village in meagerly settled To- cality. The fact that lives had been lost was not known until evidence was found in the ruins as the few people attracted by the burning building seeing no signs of the occu- pants supposed they had gone to the home of one of the neighbors for shell ter,
 2 Mrs Cook was widow.
 Mrs Bailey, who'lives in Massachu- setts, was visiting here and her daughter, also resident of Massa- chusetts, its is understood was com ing today and preparations were be- ing made for her arrival.
 The origin of the fire cannot be de- termined. The property loss was not heavy.

TRIED IN WOLCOTT
North End Boys. We're Held For Superior Court Under
 Bonds of $l.0o0 Each.

Fred Blodgett and William Hayes. the two north end boys who were ar- rested in this city Monday afternoon on the charge of highway robbery. were tried before Justice of Peace E. M, Upson in the town hall at Vol colt this morning. After hearing the evidence MT Upson bound the ac- cused over to the next term of the superior court of Waterbury under bonds of $1,0O0. Late this after noon the two young men were being held at MT Upson's home to give their friends chance to get over and bail them out.
 Attorney E. B. Kelley appeared for the accused, while Attorney Walter Monagan prosecuted. The evidence of the state was the testimony of Charles Greweng, who told how he was. held up by the accused early Sat- urday morning. They took his pock- etbook away from him in which there was SIP and then threw the purse into the bushes. They also landed few wallops on Greweng's anatomy to let him know they meant business if he put up any resistance. The DeBishop brothers, also farmers, testified to meeting the accused on the road, but said they gave them no trouble. -~-
 The defense put on no witnesses and offered no defense, although Att torney Kelley spoke in behalf of the young men. The trial did not start until shortly before 12 o'clock and did not attract as many of the na- tives as are generally present when there is a Waterbury case on in the town hall.
 Blodgett was fined in Wolcott just about year ago this time for rais- ing disturbance at the Wolcott fair. It cost him about $15 at that time.

FIREMAN KILLED
Explosion ln Dallas Liquor Ware. house Seriously Injured Five
 Other Fire Fighters.

Dallas, Texas, Sept 30.--Fire caus- ed the death of Fireman J. H. Partin, the serious injury of five other fire men and a property loss estimated at s200,000, in the heart of the business district here last night. Shortly after the fire was discovered on the second floor of the building occupied by H. j.. Blakeny to the west of the establish ment of L. Craddock & Co, whole sale liquor dealers on Elm street, an explosion occurred in the liquor house which sent a shower of glass to the street below and shook the walls of the burning structure. When the f1remen had crowded into the Craddock building in order to reach the blaze in the heart of the block, the entire second floor fell upon them bearing with it an enormous weight of barrel goods. The Craddock, the Peacock, the Egan Parry Electrical Co and the Blakeny Furniture Co buildings are completely gutted.

YANKEE LIES EASY
Stranded Cruiser in Absui ihe Same PesiiIou as t Was .
 Week Ago.

Newport, R. l., Sept 30.--With the exception that a portion of the cof- ferdam has been constructed, and that she has been relieved of all un- necessary weight, the situation or the stranded cruiser Yankee was the same to-day as 1t was a week ago, when she ran on Spindle rock dur ing heavy fog. The work of pumping the cruiser out had to be begun all over again both compart- ments having been flooded as a pro- lection against the heavy storm or Monday night and yesterday morn ing. There was no wireless commit nication with the cruiser all day yes terday but 1t was hoped to resume the service late to-day, after the dynamos, located in one of the flooded compartments, were got into working order. i The general opinion among the naval officials and shipping interests here is that the Yankee has seen the last of her days as an active member. of the United States navy. She has been subjected to constant pound- ing and battering for almost a week and her hull is believed to be badly strained, It is probable that in the future she will be overhauled ana sent to one of the receiving ports for service as receiving ship.

BODY IN BROOK
waDy People TurDed Out 10 Search For Man Who Mys-
 leriousIy Disappeared.

Saxonville, Mass, Sept 30.-The finding of the body of Frederick R. Dawson, superintendent of the Saxon vile woolen mills, in Farnham brook, near Coolidge bridge, East Sudbury to-day, dispelled the mystery that had surrounded the disappearance ot the man early last evening. It is generally believed that MT Dawson was worried over i'll health and busi- ness troubles and that he committed suicide during a fit of desopndency. MT Dawson is survived by a wife and four children. He was 35 years of age E. t
 Several hundred persons, including the police and fire departments, mill hands and residents of the village were engaged in the search to which they were called by the sounding of the fire alarm at midnight. MT Daw- son came home from the mill short ly after o'clock last evening, har- messed his horse and drove away, saying he was going to give the horse little exercise as usual. Later the animal was brought back to the house by persons who found it wandering about without a'driver and the alarm was given.

BANKERS TALK
Discuss Inc Democratic Platform and Denounce Guarapiee
 Bsuk DsposIt Scheme.
ANNUAL REPORT READ

Denver, Col, Sept 30.-The regular business sessions of the American Bankers association opened in the city auditorium to-day and the vast hall which echoed with the cheers of the democrats when in national con- vention they adopted platform fa- voring guarantee of bank deposits by national law or if this is impossible the establishment of postal savings banks witnessed a scene of body of men representing the wealth of the nation, repudiating these ideas as dangerous to the prosperity of the country.
 Already the savings bank section, the clearing house section and the trust company section had gone on record against guaranteeing bank de- posits and had either voted against or shown by their attitude that. they were unalterably opposed to the es- tablishment of postal savings banks.
 The keynote was struck to-day in the speech of Colonel J. D. Powers, president of the association, who de- clared the bank deposit guarantee was a dangerous fallacy. A vote on these two propositions will probably not be taken before tomorrow, but the feeling is so intense among the bankers that there will be scarcely a speech made during the convention with the exception of the set of ad- dresses that will not be likely to re- fer to them. The programme for to- day was long one and included be- sides the presidents address, address es of welcome by Governor Buchtel and Mayor Speer, the annual report of the secretary, the reports of va rious standing committees and ad- dresses by B. E. Walker, president of the Canadian bank of commerce of Toronto on Abnormal Features of American Banking" and by Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton uni versity on "The Banker and the Na- tion."

!. OLD VILLAGE LOOKUP.
Quaint Structures For Confinement o'
 Rogues and Vagabonds.

Quaint Structures For Confinement Of
 Rosues and Vagabonds.
 Several villages in the midlands pos sess in more or less ruined state their old parish lockups, commonly known as roundhouses.
 Breedon, Leicestershire village, close to the South Derbyshlre border, possesses its lookup" quaint stone building eighteen feet high and eight feet six inches diameter inside. The walls are fifteen inches thick. The door is of stout oak, studded with many large iron nails.
 The lock is very strong. and the key hole is covered with an iron plate, which itself has to be unlocked by spanner before the door key can be inserted. Ventilation Is afforded by small holes punched in an iron plate, six inches by seven. fixed in the cen ter of the door. There is no window.
 At worthington, the next village to Breedon, the old lookup is seven sided brick building, badly in need of restoration. an opportunity for archae- ologists which 1t is hoped will not be missed. Both at Freedom and Worth ington these diminutive disused pris- ons are on the roadside adjacent to the pound. or pinfold. so that the constable had conveniently side by side the strayed cattle and any human rogues or yagabonds he had charge of. There are similar old loekups at Smisby and Ticknall, two villages close to Leices- tershire. = Sheffield (England) Tee rraDh.
