WORLD OF SPORTS.

The New York club is gunning after a new catcher of ability. The club is. evi- dently aware that Ewing is hardly likely to repeat this seasons remarkable work next year, especially if such great induce ments are not again held out.
 Kelly, Mccormick, Flint and William son had to pay the Chicago club an aggra- gate of S2 ,000 in 1886. These fines were assessed for drinking, and old Silver Flint has never yet quite recovered from the shock. It is scid these fines had more to do with Kelly leaving the Chicago club than anything else.
 Many times has the question been asked, ''Why are Keefe and Ward on bad terms1' The question cannot be answered further than they have not spoken to each other since last spring. Keefe says that Ward does not support him, while Ward has nothing to say. It is rather surprising that two men at the head of the base ball brotherhood should become such bad friends. It has been rumored that Keefe was the cause of Wards desire to get away from the team, and that in case Ward did not get his release keefe would demand his own.
 According to the official averages Morrill, had the largest number of assists of first basemen, Pfeffer of second basemen, Burns of third basemen, Williamson Of short stops. Seery and WriImot of left felders, Ryau of center fielders, McGeachy of right fielders and Mack of catchers. Morrill, had most put-outs on first base, Pfetfer on second base, Burns on third base, Irwin at short; Wilmot, left field, 260: Hoy, center fvld, 296; Fogarty, right field, 239; Gle ments, catcher, 494; Bufinton, pitcher, 31.
 The Brooklyn team for next season has nov been completed. The addition of L)vt tt ard Visner as as a battery will make the team across tho river as strong as any team in the American association, and from the playing strength that can be put on the field, it shCu,d make much D stter showing than it did last season. Catcher Peoples was not reserved, and will pro bably not play with Brooklyn next season. In fact, the engaging of Visner has virtual ly settled that point. Peoples is a fine catcher, but the only trouble is, he knows it, and as soon as ball player reaches that stage the club that has him on it's team can let him go without fear of weakening the team This same trouble affects the good work of Baldwin, the Cincinnati catcher.

Born With One Arm.

This morning, says Saturdays Bridge pert Farmer, Water street woman gave birth to male child, which is living rev elation of the queer freaks of nature. The child is perfectly formed except that it has no right arm. The only prenatal influence to which this strange physical defect can be attributed is that the woman s husband, who is an employe of Barnum's circus, few month: ago had his arm bad ly clawed by one of the lions. The woman was attended to-day by a we'll known physician of the city who desires that his name and that of the mother shall not be used in the papers. He says that birth marks, or unusual physical formations, of a nature similar to that of the Water street child, are not uncommon

SHADOwED BY DETECTIVES. X Bridgeport Young Man Steals Gold
 and Silver Ears.

Miles A. French, an employe of the Bridgeport Copper Co.,, was arrested Satur day night charged with extensive thefts from the firm. His wife Nellie French was also taken into custody an accessory. They reside at No 6 Armstrong place, East Bridgeport.
 The, firm who are owners of large cop per mine in Montana, have the ore sent to their factory here in long bars by rail. The mine is said to yield richly and that the mineral contains a large percentage of gold and silver. When it arrives here it is taken ton at time and smelted. A thick mud dy-hke sediment settles to the bottom of | the crucible which contains the valued 1 minerals. After the copper is run off into moulds this muddy substance is taken, dried and then goes through another pro- cess by which the silver and gold is ab- stracted. The silver yields the largest per cent of the two. It is then made into bricks weighing from 10 to 12 pounds each. French hG1 charge of the work There is no possible way for the firm to tell how much gold or silver ton of the copper will yield as some is much richer thna others. As near as they could get at it was to estimate an average yield to the ton and trust the rest to French's hon. esty All went we'll between him and the firm until few months ago when it was suspicioned by his luxariant habits that something was wrong.
 The result of the shadowing of French revealed the fact that he was about to leave town Saturday. He was watched still closer and at an early hour Saturday night, accompanied by his wife, they were at the depot about to take the train for Boston when Detective Taylor, in behalf of Pinkerton's men, stepped up and placed them in arrest. They were taken to tht central police station, where they were charged with theft. French carried in his hand small satchel which was taken from him. It was opened and found to contain over S1 ,000 worth of gold and silver il ingots. French openly confessed his gull and stated that his wife was in no wa, connected with the affair. Both were locked mp for a hearing to-day when it i thought that further developments vii follow

SEVERELY STABBED.
Michael Collins, of Ansonia, Severely
 Wounds His Wife.

About 3:30 yesterday morning a man named Michael Collins, living on Jersey street, Ansonia, went home in an intoxicated condition, and thinking that his wife did not respond quickly enough to his knock for admittance became angry. When he entered the house he engaged in a quarrel which ended in his stab5ing his wife with a knife in the abdomen, q little above the left hip. Dr Welch was hastily sum- moned, made an examination of the wound, and did all in his power to alleviate the suf- ferings of the unfortunate woman. The police were notified later in the day and Officer Ryan proceeded to the mans house where he found him in semi-intoxicated condition and conveyed him to the lookup where he is now awaiting trial. The attending physician entertains strong hopes of the woman's recovery unless in hammation set in

Campaign IIumors of Western Papers
 The Loan of a Democratic Rooster.

The Loan of a Democratic Rooster.
 For several of the last presidential cam paigns Harlan P. Hubbard of New Haven has made a scrap book of newspaper pictures of papers published after the cleo tion in regard to the result The pictorial comments and emblems of victory are com ical MT Hubbard has made a book this year. Western papers are the most extra vagant in the size of illustration and display type. One paper in western New York edited by the brother of DrJ. P. c. Foster, of New Haven, comes out with a rooster which covers nearly the entire page. Under this is the explanation that this rooster was printed from the plate used for four years by the democratic con temporary of the same city, which had been magnanimously sent them by the democratic organ. One paper begins its article with this head line in immense black letters, By God" The irreverence of the start is modified by the second line, which reads as follows: And the Good Sense of the American People,"

 Fashionable Entertainment.
 "Whatta the matter witha Harrison ? He's alla right"
 So said Donate Meo, one of Billy Froh- lich's tonsorial artists, as he seated himself in gaily decorated wheelEarIow on the green at 12 o'clock to- day. He was attired in his Sunday suit, high silk hat and broad est smile. A small American flag was fast ened in his hat and he carried another in his hand. Frank Pagan, a brother knight of the razor, was not so happy. He fully expected to occupy the seat of honor him self on the trip, but the defeat of Cleve- land overturned all his plans. He took his medicine like little man, however, and when the word was given spat npon his hands and with look of determina- ton in his eyes, seized the handles of the barrow, and amid the plaudits of the crowd perambulated around the green. A snare drummer headed the procession and the trip was made without any accident or stop for refreshments.
 Johnnie Dillon of the firm of Dillon & Douglas of New Haven is another victim. He staked heavily on Cievelapd's election with T. l.. Sanford, the North End grocer. Next Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock he will propel barrow occupied by MT San ford arond the green The procession will be headed by brass band. In the evening twenty-five friends of the princi- pals with representatives of the Waterbury and New Haven press will enjoy game supper in Music hall. The expense of the will be borne by MT Dillon.
