YOUNG cARPENTER,s DEATH.
The Sad Tragedy In Greenwich

The Sad Tragedy In Greenwich.
 Jotham M. Carpenter, the young man shot by his cousin, Jasper W. Umberfeld, in Greenwich on Friday evening, died from the effect of his wound Sunday afternoon. Dr.. Elmendorf, of Port Chester, and Dr. Jones, of Greenwich, were sent for. The wounded boy was examined and it was found that the bullet went into his lungs.
 The physicians say that Umberfeld had become insane from overstudy. During the past winter the young man had studied very hard and had also been studying French, German and music from private teachers, and after vacation he continued his private studies against the wishes of his mother, who advised him to go to the country He freouently spoke of his head and complained of dizziness. At length he consented to go and on Monday he went. The two boys were the best of friends. Carpenter was an or phau and since the death of his parents he has dwelt on the farm with his grandparents and he has always been an industrious, duti- ful boy. He was greatly attached to his cousin Jasper.

THE NEW RAVENS.

Why They Disbanded-Reasons By
 MT. Iiller-A Nine For Next Years
 League.
 The newly organized New Haven base ball club, which had joined the Southern New England league, disbanded yesterday, and they will play no more ball this season. Mr. rooms, and who is" financial manager of the ball nine, said last evening: "The first thing we knew about the trouble in the league was that on Saturday last Manager Remsen, of the Hartford team, sent a telegram to me stating that he wanted to play in New Haven that day. Now the schedule stated that we were to play in Hartford to-day, and when I received that telegram from the manager of the Hartfords I thought something was wrong and upon finding that some of the clubs were going out of the league disband- ed the New Ravens and so we did not play to-day at Hartford. MT. Nichols, the pitcher of the New Britain nine, told me that they would play their last game to-day, and as I heard that the Meridens were to hold meeting to- night and would in all probability decide to withdraw from the league MT. Ely and my self decided to disband the New Haven nine We took in $50 at Hartford and $40 at New Britain and our expenses and salaries have been much more, but we are able to pay all the bills We had a strong team and would have soon got our money back had we not disbanded. Next year we will have one of the strongest hines in the league if we have a league and there will be plenty of money back of it, as four men have already pledged themselves to support it D

Land. Grabb.rs to BE checked.

WASHINGTON, AUG. 6.-Acting Commits
sioner Walker, of the General Land Office,
has prepared a circular to all registers and
receivers restricting the power of land
grant railroads in making selections of in
demnity lands. Heretofore the roads have
been permitted practically to select such
lands, and in such quantities as they pleased,
without being required to show the amount
of lands they had lost through the opera
tons of the General Land laws from
their original grants. The lands SO Sc
lected were always of the choicest. The
circular requires the roads to file lists of the
lands they claim to have lost, making oath
to their correctness, before being permitted
to make any selections. Where indemnity
selections have heretofore been made with
out specification of losses the local officers
are instructed to require the companies to
designate the deficiencies for which such in
demnity is to be applied before further in
demnity selections are allowed.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Aug. Gin the Duck
Creek valley, about five miles northeast of
this city, a terrific hail-storm, on Monday
evening, literally ruined thousands of acres
Of garden and other crops. Corn, oats,
grapes. fruit and vegetables were crushed
and destroyed by wholesale. The win
dow glass in nearly all the houses
was demolished. The hailstones were
very large, and after the storm could be
scooped up by the shovelful. The afflicted
region is famous for its fruits and vege-
tables in the Davenport and Moline mar
kets. The gardeners and truck-farmers
are nearly. all thrifty Germans. and the
loss to them is a severe one. It is esti-
mated that the total loss by the storm is

Minneapolis Thrown Into Total Darkness.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 6.-Shortly
after midnight the tar well situated under
the coal-shed which connects with the
purifying apparatus and the oil house
at tbs gas works exploded with great
violence. A. workman at once shut off
the gas from the city and threw it into
total darkness, which gave rise to the belief
that the gas works themselves had blown
up. AS it is, the gas works are intact. al
though the coal-shed and tar well are a
total wreck. The loss will amount to
So, 500. The gas has not been turned on
through fear of %endangering life and prop
erty from jets which had been left burning
during the night.
