COL. HALL FAVORED.
Holland Republicans Would Like South WiIlington Manufacturer For Ssna- ter-The Difficulty.

political writer in the Hartford Times says:
 fhe republicans of Holland county are in a quandary. They know that ator this year. The county is CO., extensive with the district and the influences which prevail in the coun- tY convention are likely to dictate the nomination for senator. Quite a large number of the republicans nomination of Colonel William H. Hall. of Wilmington, for the senate. It is felt, however, that in the se lectien of senatorial candidates 1t is necessary to nominate men from the ceRters of population. Stafford is. next to Vernon, the most populous town in the district and some of the be the part of political wisdom to go to that town for the candidate for senator. Their choice is John D. Wi&htnnan. chairman of reprpbl can atoHn cammittee of Stafford MT, Wightman was formerly a commissioners for Holland county and was the chairman of the board His friends have never been recon ciled to the manner in whicr he was superseded on the board. It Is said that up to the morning of the eau mated. This certainly in prediction was not, However, realized by the action of the caucus Another gen. tleman, Rufus H. Leonard. of Yer ncn, was nominated That left a sore which still smarts. In the nomination for county sheriff the same argument is used in favor of the nomination of Frank P Robert son the first selectman of the town of Vernon.

 AT LORDS POINT CROSSING.
Incident in Mrs. L. F. Lapierre's Ex-
 perienee Narrated at Hearing.

 All the witnesses in the case were called upon by the town and the testi- money of all of them, most of whom have been summer residents of Lords Point for several years. was to the eff feet that the crossing was an unusual ly dangerous one and that there ought 10 be furnished some protection for the public traffic. Dr. l.. F. LaPierre of Norwich a summer resident of the point fer four years stated that his wife had barely missed being struck by a train at this crossing.
 James F. Lord was asked to testify He said that he was the original own ed of Lords Point, so-called, and that the resort embraced 67 cottages and one hotel. and that there were be- tween 800 and 800 people living thero all summer, He explained that 300 feet north of the crossing high bank and ledge prevented ones seeing trains approaching from the west, and that to be sure that there was nothing coming one was obliged to step out onto the eastbound tracks. Both wind cand fog,S he said, contributed to the danger. The gates, he said, were often left open and number of his cattle had been killed Further tes- timony to the danger of the crossing mad for nr0taNfiap of sore was given by Warren L.

ID CANVASS NEW LONDON COUNTYI
Fund for Erection of County Hall Connecticut College for Women to De Secured in this Manner ths Sun,mer- $2oo,ooo Can be Pro6tably Used for Dining Hall and Dormitory.

New London County nan, to be- erected by residents of New London county as their contribution to Con- necticut College for Women, is to be the slogan of a campaign to be con- ducted this summer by Prof. Colin 8. Buell. of New London Of the board of trustees for the purpose Of raising fund of $20Q.eQe. To Professor Buell. has been entrusted the task of securing additional fundss for the establishment of the Institution and both he and his associates on the board are confident that success will crown his efforts
 The plan to be followed In the New London county campaign is briefly this: Forty residents of the county possessing ample means to do so are to be requested to contribute $5.oe0 each. From the fact that several promises of amounts equal Go or larg- CT than that indicated are already in hand 1t is believed that the larger proposition will not prove dificult. Numerous persons of wealth who have declared their intention to contribute to the establishment of the institution have delayed doing so pending the ac- tual breaking of ground for building construction.
 Inasmuch as this. event is now but a few days distant, it Is the feeling of the trustees that the psychological mo- ment has arrived to issue an appeal to the liiberality of those whose resi- dence is in the immediate vicinity of the college and whose daughters or young women friends will be especially benefited by it's establishment. It is likewise felt that when the people of this particular section of the state have done their part in promoting the well fare of the new seat of learning, such action will prove an incentive to those living at more remote points to assist F. <@R 1.< objective point was recently described by President Sykes as .'an institution the most beautiful and spacious. the widest in scope of instruction, the

CARGO OF PAPER BURNS
 IN BARGE IN SOUND.
Towed Into New London But Little
 Can Be Saved.

The barge Lizzie Horan of the Mc- Williams fleet of New York city, with a cargo of 1900 tons of baled paper and in tow of the tug Salutation. caught fire two miles off Bartlett's reef shortly after five o'clock Sum day afternoon while on the way to New London and was lowed in by the Tasco and Alert, the T. A. Scott Company's tugs, and at midnight four streams were being poured into the burning cargo. Ie Is believed that the barge will have to be sunk in order to extinguish the blaze.
 Captain William Donnelly of the Horan is unable to account for the origin of the fire. When he saw that the blaze had a big headway in the hold of the vessel he took his wife off the burning boat and placed her aboard a, barge in the same fleet.
 The baled paper is consigned to the Thames Speciality company. No value could be placed on the cargo, which will be total loss

 The plan of the refectory as de- signed by the college architects. Ewing & Chappell Is original and unique. The Idea in dividing into eight din- ing rooms is twofold. In the first place it does away with the institu- tional aspect of a vast ball seating row on row of students, under which con- ditions the service is apt to be far from satisfactory. Tn the second place 1t permits the temporary use of some of the dining rooms for recitation purposes until other buildings are built The refectory will furnish seat ing capacity for over 500 students at a single sitting.
