The disp sition of the, (‘onnccticut
World’s Fai "building was discussed at
the annual meeting,' of the Savin Rock
Land and Improvement co111puny, in
New Haven. The. company owns the
Connecticut house and also the site, .300
feet square. Nothing,' was decided. The
Columbian league of Connecticut sev—
eral months ago was given :111 option
to purchase the property at just the
cost of the building, but it has not yet _
made the purchase. Its Ian was to
secure subscriptions for the league to ’
organize. a summcr school of history to
be located in the building. but nothing
has been done as yet. The Improvement
company has several plans in vicw con.
coming the property, and if the league
does not take the building soon some
other disposition will be made of the
place.
Four men, shortly after 2 o'clock yes-
terday morning, rushed into the depot
at East Hampton, seized and bound the
night telegraph operator, Michael Phil-
lips, hand and foot, and blew open the.
safe, wrecking the room and setting fire
to the woodwork. They secured, it is
thought, about $00, but overlooked an
express package containing $300. They
extinguished the fire with the overcoat
of the day operator, and then left. The
robbers entered Hall’s feed store, got a
few cents, but dropped on the floor a :55
bill stolen at the depot. Phillips says
one of the men stood over him with a
revolver. one kept guard and two blew
open the safe. They were met masked,
but hedid know them. Phillips man-
aged to antic himself about 3:30 and no-
tified Sheriff Browu. No one in the vi-
cinity heard the explosion which wreck-
ed the office, nor did any one know of
the robbery before Phillips got loose.
The robbers‘ team was left in the vi]-
