An autopsy will probably be performed on the body of the man who dropped dead in Union Station Sunday night and whose unclaimed body now lies in the morgue. A partly emptied box of "rough on rats" was found in the pocket of the man's coat and Miss Eifie Curtiss, a waitress in the depot restaurant, said yesterday that when she served the man with a glass of milk about an hour before his death he poured a powder into the milk. If it was "rough on rats" that the man was seen to swallow and if he died from the effects of the poison, the fact that his body did not exhibit any of the usual effects of such a death is peculiar, in the opinion of physicians. Many people called at the morgue yesterday, but no one said that he had ever seen the man before or had the slightest idea who he was. GIRL SUICIDE'S LOVER HAS LEFT HARTFORD.

John Hayes, the lover of Jennie Dingwall, who committed suicide Saturday night in the Auditorium on Asylum street almost under his very eyes, left town yesterday morning.

It is said that Hayes Saturday night was in a room in Auditorium playing cards and that the girl managed to gain access to the room. He put her out of the room, it is said, and thereupon she killed herself. FELL FROM WAGON AND FRACTURED HIS SKULL.

D. C. O. BRITTON, 115-121 ALLYN ST. Alex Swanson, the welterweight champion, and K.

Yoshimura of New York, formerly of Tokyo, wrestled jiu jitsu style at Germania Hall last night and the Swede won two straight falls. Swanson agreed to wrestle according to the Japanese style as Yoshimura said he knew no other way of wrestling. When the men appeared on the mat Swanson declined to allow the strangle hold to be used. As this was what the Jap relied upon mostly he did not want to concede this important point, but he finally agreed to bar the strangle hold and have flying falls count. The Jap's manager made a brief address to the audience, explaining the Japanese style of wrestling and as he spoke English with difficulty few knew what he was talking about.

James S. Carroll of Waterbury, the referee, gave his idea of what the match was going to be. At first it was understood that the strangle hold would be allowed and the referee said this was unusual in Connecticut and he hoped the officers of the law wouldn't interfere. The two cops folded their arms and gave silent assent to any kind of a hold that would produce a little excitement. There was a very small audience.

There was considerable interest to see what tactics the Jap would use and after it was over there as much disappointment. Yoshimura dian't appear to be greatly interested in the match. Twice he used a jiu jitsu trick that made a great hit with the audience. This was an old schoolboy trick of falling upon the back and throwing an opponent over your head. The second time that Swanson went flying through the air he came near going over the footlights.

Most of the time the men had hold of each other's kimonas at the shoulders and then they had a walkaround. The monotony was varied by the Jap frequently kicking the Swede in the shins. After wrestling fifteen minutes Swanson threw the Jap heavily to the floor and secured a quarter-Nelson hold. He changed this to a half-Nelson and arm hold and although the Jap formed a bridge and turned over he could not break the hold and a fall was declared. In the second bout Swanson secured a rolling fall although the Jap wrestler and his manager protested against the decision.

The referee appealed to the audience. Most of the sports were in a hurry to go home as the hour was late and they agreed with the referee. The Jap weighed 135 pounds and Swanson was ten pounds heavier. The Jap was very quick and active and his broad shoulders indicated great strength. He wriggled out of a few holds and was frequently applauded.

The program was long drawn out there were frequent waits. Walsh and Newton, Hartford youths, wrestled in the preliminary and Newton won one fall. Ag two falls were needed for a victory the match was called a draw. Jack Roach could not reach the hall because of a railroad wreck at Hawleyville and Walter Kersted had Leon Filter of South Manchester for his opponent. the young Frenchman who is matched to meet O'- Connell Thursday night.

No fall was cecured in the first bout but in the second Filier threw his man with a crotch hold. The Hawley Social and Athletic Club managed the entertainment and the club is out of pocket by the venture. DINING ROOM WALL PAPERS, HALF PRICE THIS WEEK. The Auction Sale of Oriental Rugs.
