Not a Livery Stable.

On Sunday evening one of the members of the newspaper hines that attempted to play game of base ball at Hamilton park on Satur- day entered the police office about 10 o'clock supported by a crutch and asked Lieutenant Wrinn to have the van hitched up as he de sired to be taken home
 ''Who you, my friend?' inquired the polite lieutenant.
 am one of the unfortunate newspaper dudes who went to Hamilton park on Satur- day to play base ball. While one man was taken sick while catching, I strained the muscles in my right leg, am out three dollars for nights work anyway and would not wonder if finally had to go to the hospital. No more base ball for me-
 Lieutenant Wrinn, who is a kind hearted man, sympathized with the compositor. He regretted that the police department did not run a livery stable and concluded by advising the crippled eompositor to apply at Barker & Ransom's, next door, for a hack-ffty cents to any part of the city-and give up all aspirations to become base ball artist The young man went away sorrowing.

A Missing Doctor Heard From.


 A dispatch has been received from Dr. William A. Lockwood, who left his home at Norwalk suddenly over three weeks ago, stat ing that he would return from abroad soon. The doctor took passage on the Italian steam CT Archimedes for Genoa via Gibraltar, and while in New York the doctor wrote three letters to Mrs. Frederick St. John, upon whose signature he obtained from the Fairfield County National bank $11, 1000, informing her in detail that his losses by speculation had been so large and his fruitless efforts to make them good had troubled him to such an extent that he deemed an ocean trip nee essary Mrs. St. John had given him her notes in blank, and when they fell due, find ing the amounts were larger than she sup posed they were to be, had said there was something wrong and that she had author ized no such amounts This statement gave rise to the rumor that the paper was forged. Mrs. St. John has made ample provision for the notes, and the bank will not lose dollar by the transaction.
