THE DETECTIVE BOILED.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Make Taylor
 Criminate Himself.
 Since the acquittal of Clarence E. Tay- Tor of New Britain, for murder, by the su- perior court of Hartford county, an inter esting incident has been made public. Shortly after Taylor was arrested and placed in jail Pinkerton detective was employed by the state. He was taken to the jail disguised as a criminal and placed in the cell with Taylor. After day or two in forming an acquaintance, he began his work of gaining the confidence of the accused murderer, in the hope of obtain ing confession on promise of help. For days he labored, but without result, the accused asserting that he was innocent and felt certain of acquittal. Then the detec- tive told Taylor that he expected to get out on bonds and would aid him, and attempt ed to win him by promise, but the scheme did not work. The Pinkerton agency re- ceived nearly $1, 1000 for the fruitless efforts to obtain evidence against Taylor.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Ed. Silch, the extra outfelder of the Brooklyn club, has been released by the Buffalos.
 Mike Kelly says he is done with drink ing, but how he will keep away from it is a conundrum.
 Foster and Gore will cover the outfeld until O'Rourke and Herman return. This change will make big difference in the clubs batting.
 The Philadelphia base ball writers are confident that the New York and Athletic clubs will play for the worlds champion ship this fall.
 Sam Moffett one of the Indianapolis pitchers, was yesterday given the usual formal notice of release, and will be at liberty to sign with any other club in ten days.
 The New Works and Chicagos begin a series of three games at Chicago to-mor- row. Anson has been training his boys hard to enable them to conquer the Giants.
 The sixth heat of the 2:2S class was trotted at Danbury yesterday and was won easily by Westchester Girl, she making her deciding heat in 2:29. The last heat was of no little interest, as Uno, the Girl and the Maid had two heats apiece, but a great deal of dissatisfaction was expressed as it was known that either of the favorites could go in at least three seconds faster on that track. The 2:33 class was an interesting one from the fact that Nelson, who was driving Billy Wall, was taken off the track after the second heat and fined $100 and suspended for pulling his horse. Billy then won the race in the next three heats.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only First Class Pianos and Or ganS, known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shoninger, Emerson .& Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do Is this Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we have one price to of- fer and another to sell by, in the of the Shoninger Piano offered for $15O by JIM. Kellogg, who, when the sum was rendered him refused it on the plea that some one in the country had promised to look at it in the future. Shoninger Pianos being in such demand, and his supply linn tied, with poor chances of duplication, we sug- gest, may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the business integrity of such dealings. Lastly we manage our own business honestly, fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from Instalment Customers without the aid of Sher- ifs to collect on the same Thirty years standing before the people Company, is sufficient guarantee of stability.

LAST NIGHTS TOWN MEETING.
Most Harmonious Gathering of the Kind
 in Years.


 There were perhaps 200 voters present last night at the police court room when the town meeting was called to order by Clerk White and the call of the meeting read. Edward l.. Frisbie was chosen chairman, and the first business taken up was the proposed new highway over Bald wins Hill. J. H. Guernsey moved to lay out the street as proposed by the select men, the street to be called Baldwin avenue; carried. The second clause was that proposing a new highway from Simonsville chapel to Pearl lakes, dis tance of $500 feet, and was treated in like manner, Judge Cowel stating that the only objection was that some of the residents were afraid that some shade trees, set out about forty years ago, would be disturbed groundless fear. The third proposition was to discontinue an old high way leading from Bucks Hill road to Hubbard hole. The road was built fifty years ago to afford access to @ saw mill at the head of Great Brook. The mill tumbled down 40 years ago, the dam was washed away and the road is practically useless. Thirty years ago the. town granted permission to the owner of the land through which the road ran to maintain bars at each end. For % years no team has passed over the road. It was voted to discontinue it. The last business was to

A Man Knocked Down and Badly Beaten
 at Bridgeport.
 BRIDGEPORT, July 13.-About 1915 this morning brakeman while passing through Water street was set upon by a gang of toughs and brutally beaten. The affair occurred near the corner of Gilbert street, and the object evidently was rob bery. It appears that yesterday was pay day among some of the railroad hands, and this fact was no doubt known to the assailants. They thought probably that cash about him. The name of the injured man is not known. Parties residing in the neighborhood, however, state that after being knocked down he rolled over on his face and continued grooming for several minutes. He was subsequently picked up by friends and carried down tn @ track. His assailant escaped.
