FOR REcoNSIDERATIO OF
 TROLLEY SEARcHLIGHT BILL
Senator Mahan Makes Effort, and
 Matter Is Still Before Senate.

Hartford, July 26.-Afternoon ses- sions of the legislature are not in favor with the members, even though adjournment set by the senate for to- morrow is probably many weeks away. After the senate recessed, the bill for direct primaries was to have come up, this measure having been in hand just as recess was taken, over the protest of Senator Halloran of New Britain, who thought direct primary legisla- tion was of more importance than the taking of a portraiture of the senate. But the senators desired to look pleas ant when they had their pictures tak- en and would not risk ruff1ed feelings which might have followed a debate of primary nominations and the choice of candidates by petition. Senator Judson, who stands alone on this measure, secured substitution of his minority report for that of the ma majority of the judiciary committee, which was unfavorable. When the senator looked around and Mound that only a bakers dozen of senators had survived the picture taking and lunch con, he had the matter put over until tomorrow
 Many senators who had left, paired, leaving the impression strong the bill would have enough supporters to pass it in an amended form.
 The bill carries referendum clause and the voters in town meeting this fall would have chance of vote upon it.
 A majority of the vote in the state would make it a law and the towns and cities have the option of adopt ing this form of party nomination.
 Many senators, informally discuss ing the bill, have said that at the pres ent time voters in towns in effect make direct nominations so that the bill would not appeal to members from t0r ha lii !. ofx direct interest to city voters.
 Senator Mahan tried to have re- consideration of the trolley search light bill, passed yesterday, but in the effort to end the senate session on the part of Senator Woodruff, who finally the motion to reconsider was tabled, preserving to Senator Mahan his rights. and keeps the bill before the senate
 Then the senate was declared ad- journed for want of a quorum.
 The house meantime had adjourned in disorder on the point of no quo- rum. After the vote by which Hart ford's compensating reservoir plan was carried in concurrence, members drifted out of the chamber by the dozen. On a motion to indefinitely postpone the bill to prohibit the car rying of rifles in the open air without a permit, Representative Isbell, who was in the chair. declared the house adjourned for lack of quorum. Mem bers rushed down the aisle to the speakers desk, demanding count of the house. There was confusion, but the adjournment stood.
 There are some members who are anxious to get through business and they try to slave off a count, but time and time again they lose.

RICHER BLOOD IN
 HIGH ATTITUDES.
Conclusion of Medical Men at Summit
 of Pike's Peak.

Colorado Springs, Col, July 26.-A group of international medical scien lists who are studying the effect upon human beings of high attitudes at the summit of Pikes Peak, 14,147 feet above the sea level, have arrived at some interesting conclusions.
 Among them are:
 That red corpuscles in the blood are 40 per cent. greater at that altitude than at sea level This is an indica- tion of purer blood.
 That lack of oxygen in the atmo- sphere at high attitudes is the primary cause of all mountain sickness.
 That the blood of persons living in high attitudes. is much richer and therefore much more capable of re- sisting disease germs than the blood of persons living at sea level
 Drs. J. A. Haldane and Gordon Douglas of Oxford university, England, Yambel1 Henderson of Yale and B. c. Schneider of Colorado college are con- ducting the experiments.

Their Quarters Were in That Section of ship-Fourteen Remains Now Found, 60 More to He Recovered.

Havana, July 26.-A skeleton, almost entire, but presenting slight hope of identification, was discovered today on the berth deck on the Starboard side of the Maine.

 These are the first bones found be- low the main deck, which has been now entirely explored. 1t is believed that the skeleton is that of warrant section of the ship.
 Sixty Bodies Unrecovered.
 This makes the total number of re- mains so far recovered from the wreck approximately fourteen, leaving sixty bodies unf ecovered. Practically all hope has been abanoned of the recov- cry of other remains forward of the central Superstructure, as all that sec tion has Neen utterly destroyed.
 Stateroom Partitions Down.
 Preliminary explorations of the aft CT berth deck, including the ward room and officers staterooms, began today. but the only result was the dis covery that all the stateroom parti- tions had been thrown down, greatly impeding the work of exploration. The junior ward room was examined, but nothing of importance was found.
 Strengthening the Retaining Wall.
 Conditions within the cofferdann re- main unchanged. The mud level has only been slightly lowered, owing to the impacting of solid matter as the semi fluid mud is withdrawn. The dumping of enormous quantities of stone within the dam and on top of the caissons continues, the purpose be- ing to render the retaining wall inn pregnable after the extraction of some 35 to 50 feet of solid matter in which the lower portions of the wreck are imbedded,

Chicago. July 26.-"Praying caps" a recent departure in feminine headgear, are the outgrowth of the recent hot weather in Chicago. Should warm weather return. they may be seen upon ths heads of women in the Church of the Redeemer. 56th street and Wash 5ngton avenue. The new millinery is the outsrowth of the custom of women to go about in hot weather without a head covering. The women attending services at the churches, however, discovered that they were violating the church rule which prohibits d womSr from entering without a head covering. So the women got together and devised the praying caps" They are small circular caps of black that scarcely can be seen when perched Jrl top of the head of a dark-haired wom- an. Lighter colored ones will be made for the blonde women who do not care to wear conspicuous black headgear.
 A supply of the caps has been placed just inside the entrance of the churcn and any woman who desires to attend the services matless may do so in the future without fear of violating church rules.

DEAD MAN TURNS UP
 AND SURPRISES FRIENDS Supposed to Have Been Twice Buried He Reappears Dressed in His Best.

Lynn, Mass, July 26.-Supposed to have been ground to death beneath a freight train at Newburyport, and to have been twice buried, once in a pot ter's field and again in Swampscott, and to have been so positively dead that his insurance policies were paid by the companies, Raymond Smith walked into his former boarding house in this city last night, dressed in his best clothes. and affirmed emphaticaIly like Mark Twain that all reports of his death were greatly exaggerated.
 Smith did not know anything about his death until today, when he met some former friends on the streets of Manchester, N. H. These friends, MT. and Mrs. Jas. P. Sutcliffe of Swamps- cott, were overwhelmed when they saw Smith, whose funeral they thought they had attended earlier in the month but their amaZement was not to be compared with that of Smiths when told the news about himself
 He was so anxious to show the folks at home that he was not dead, that he hurried to his lodgings, dressed himself in his best clothes and caught the next train to Lynn. He soon con- vinced everybody that he was very much alive.
 The misunderstanding about Smith s existence began on June g at New burypOrt. On that day an unidentified man was crushed under a Boston & Maine freight train in that city. Aft CT the body had been in the morgue a few days it was buried in the pot ter's field. A week or two afterward Mrs. Annie M. Hart of this city iden- tiied the portrait of the dead man as that Of her nephew. Raymond Smith, aged IS years. Identification was diff ficult, because of the body's mutilation, but it seemed reasonably sure be- cause of the certain peculiar marks on the face. The body was then ex- humed and reburied in the family lot at Swampscott.
 Smith said that he had heard noth- ing about his death, for he had been at work on farm and seldom read the papers. He promised that in the future he would read the news and keep track of himself.
