UP AND DOWN THE STATE. Items of Interest from Every Quarter of Connecticut. The Yale faculty has decided to give speeislhoncrsiu both the one and two years' courses in the dew department of music recently organised and placed underthc supervision of Professor Parl- ker of Boston. The first honor'rewsrd will not be made till June. 1895. A thesis on a special subject will berequir- ed for each successful condidato in both one and two years’ courses. This act practically places the department of re- music on a parity with the other depart- ments of the university. Walter Camp, who returned from Csliforuia.where he has been for two months coaching the Leland Stanford University foot-ball team, is improved in health. hie expresses himself sede- lighted with the showing made by Yale in the championship contests against Harvard and Princeton and expects that the graduate advisory committee of which he is a member, wilicon‘sult soon on the alleged cbsrges made by Yale against the University of Pennsylvania. Several residents of Ansonia appeared before the county commissioners to pro- test against granting a license to the Con- necticut Breweries compon y for a saloon in Ansonia.

The Craft Drifting at tho Korey of the Wind and ia‘ l‘aiaoat Danger of Going to tissue on the mick-lo Claim (or Inlvago. While going through Hell Gate at 3:80 dclock yesterday morning, Captain Wil- barge ioddcd with about 150 tons oi stove coal. In tho darknesi the captain almost ran into the drifting boat. The propel- ler was so near to the barge. however. that one of the crew jumped" aboard of her and made a hawser fast. The tide was running strong and the crewlese boat was rapidly nearing the jagged rocks with which Hellete abounds, and would certainly have gone to pieces if left to the mercy of the wind and waves. thus entailing quite a loss to her owners. The “Vulcan" towed the cool-laden craft to Pier 23. the New York and Nor- walk Steamboat company’s landing place. where'it was found that she was chunker No. 8,202, belonging totbe Dela- ware aud Hudson Coal company, oi Ho- boken. N. J. The company was notified by Captain Boston that the boat had been found adrift, and in the afternoon the superintendent of the coal concern arrived at the pier. ifr. Bouton could have held the boat for salvage. being en. titled to one-half her value, but he made no claim for salvage or towing fee. The captain returned with the superin- tendent to ‘Hoboken, where the members of the company expressed them- selves os very much pleased with the conduct of Mr. Emma and his crew, as not one captain in a hundred would have rendered such a service without expecting and demanding salvage. The barge. which was a comparatively new one. having been built only about a year, had in somelunsccountahle mnnaer broken away from the pier at Twenty- uinth street, East river, where her cargo was to be discharged. She is valued by the company at 31,000. and the coal at $600. making $1,600. The amount the men on the “Vulcan" could have claim- ed assalvage would therefore be $800. The company sent a tug to tow the boat back to the pier from which she had drifted. It is not unlikely that Csplaiu Benton and his crew will each find a nice pre. sent from the company in his stocking Christmas morning.
