A Ga,,zx Schema.

The 'Blaine or busters' continue their attempt to discredit the sincerity of their idol. Their purpose to try and nominate the Maine statesman in spite of his delib- crate and defnitive withdrawal is becom- ing every day more apparent.
 The Tribune, for example, records the election of delegates in Ohio under such heads as s'Not for sherman ? Smashing the Sherman Slate," at the same time giv- ing prominence to letters reasserting that ''Mr. Blaine's letter does not preclude his nomination, and if made unanimous he is too brave and noble to decline.'
 Another indication of this purpose is found in the fights that are fomented be- tween supporters of other candidates There is scarcely Republican prom 1nently named for the nomination against whom serious objections are not urged by the organs or adulators of Mr. Blaine Their purpose evidently is to have the other candidates kill each other off, while the man from Maine is s'out of the con test," and then bring him forward at the last moment as the only candidate on whom all can unite.
 It is a game too easily seen through to deceive anybody. We adhere to the opinion expressed on the morning after the last election in this state-that s'Mr Blaine will not be renominated by the Re publicans. .o-New York World.

 Sarah Sullivan died of diphtheria this morning at the residence of her father, Patrick Sullivan, on Pemberton street, aged nine years. The funeral took place this afternoon.
 The favorable change in the weather has had the desired effect of increasing the at tendance at the local fairs and committees having in charge entertainments for this and next week wear happy countenance. John Harrington picked up a row in Witter's hotel in the Brooklyn district this afternoon and was unceremoniously thrown into the st1 eet. When Officer Cahey went to arrest him at Bank and Leonard streets he was fourishing knife and resisted the officer, who had a hard struggle with him, but finally, with the assistance of several bystanders, landed him in wagon and lodged him in the police station. liar rington and the officer were cove, ed with blood, but neither were seriously hurt.

1rsUBonD1NArIos AT THE JAIL.
Investigation by the County Commis Sin

sioners.
 Yesterday the county commissioners went to the jail to investigate the cause of the recent fight between Bookkeeper Fred Bissell and Clinton E. Williams, pris- ener who is confined to duty as hallman In opening the hearing Commissioner Jacobs said "The commissioners intend that this investigation will not only cover the Bissell- Williams affair, but also extend to various other causes of disagreement and alleged insubordination in this insti- tuition. We will carry this investigation as far as circumstances will permit. This we feel is duty we owe ourselves and the jail officials"
 Bissel stated that Williams had used vile language in his presence and had called him names. He had told Williams that if he did not behave he would put him in cooler. A scri1nlnage had followed and he had called to Oliver Gates and Patrick Maher, the watchman, to assist him. They paid no attention to the re quest.
 Maher and Gates admitted that they had witnessed portion of the trouble between Bissell and Williams. They did not inter fere because they thought Bissell was act ing foolishly Maher said Gates had or dered him to keep away from the two men. Gates admitted that he was wrong m not going to Bissells assistance.
 Williams made a statement in his own behalf. He said he had called Bissells at tention to mistakes made in ordering pris- oners released, and consequently Bissell had grown jealous of him. He had simp- ly acted in self-defence when attacked by Bissell
 When the hearing closed Commissioner Jacobs said that Friday morning at 10 o'clock the commissioners would make known their decision.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

At Bridgeport last evening the Hartfords defeated the New Bedfords tor.
 Hackett and McGeachy are still unsigned by the Indianapolis management. They want an increase of salary.
 The Worcesters, with Tom O'Connell and Derby iu the points, were defeated II to 1 by the Brooklyns yesterday.
 The Bostons played their strongest team against the Yales at New Haven yesterday, and won by the score of 10 to 6.
 A Western baseball supply dealer places the usual array of bats and balls in his show window, and then adds to it large roll of court plaster, a huge bottle of arnica and pair of crutches.
 A one mile roller skating race is to be held at the Quinnipiac rink in New Haven next Monday evening. The contestants are Johnnie Dodds, Ed Anthony, c. Dyer, c. Mcguire and Woods of New Haven, Schultz of Birmingham and J. Schoser of Bridgeport.
 The report that Holbert, Mays and Rad ford of the Brooklyn club were to be put up at auction, has been denied by the Brooklyn managers. ''We have only six teen players, " remarked President Byrne, "and it will not be very expensive to carry that number"
 Snapper" Garrison is now down to 109 pounds, and declares he never felt better in his life. His famous horse Eolian is in tip-top fettle, and he expects to land many dollar with him this season. Garrison had a splendid time in California, where he spent several weeks.
 The Lowells defeated the Newarks IA to 8 yesterday. Champion played first base for Lowell and made this record: Three runs, three hits, including three bagger, thirteen put outs, and one error. Barney Mclaughlin played second for Lowell without an error, and had a single ant. a double.
 It looks now as though the next inter national sculling contest would be between William O'Connor, the young American, and Charles Carr, the new English oars man. Carr has only rowed three big races, but he has shown such splendid form that none of the old timers on the other side want to tackle him.
 The Wilkesbarres, managed by Jimmy Donnelly of New Haven, will make a tour of Connecticut, opening the season with the Meridens Saturday. Monday they will play in Bridgeport, and Tuesday in this city. John Fitzgerald of this city is with the Wilkesbarres, also Beecher of the old Hartfords and Cain of last seasons Dan burys.

REV FATHER CREMIN,s WISH.

He Wants Aid for His Parochial School
 in Bridgeport.
 Rev Father D. J. CfeInin of Bridgeport has petitioned the board of education of that city to extend the same privileges to the parochial school connected with his church (St Augustines Roman Catholic, are granted to St Patrick's church in New Haven.
 Several years ago the educational au- thorities of the town of New Haven reached an arrangement with St. Patrick's parish by which the salaries of certain of the teachers are paid by the tom, the same as teachers in the public schools One quail fication required of the parochial teachers thus placed upon the board of education pay rolls is that they shall first graduate from training school, and afterwards satis- factorily undergo the prescribed examine tion. The parochial teachers not comply ing with these conditions receieve no pay from the public treasury It is a similar arrangement that Father Cremin is trying to bring about in Bridgeport The same privilege was denied the parochial school of the church of the Immaculate Concep- tion by the Waterbury board of education

ADJUSTMENTS.

Of recent production of Herne's Hearts of Oak" which will be given at the opera house this evening the Boston Globe says: s'Mr. Hernes assumption of the part of Terry Dennison, the sailor miller, is deserving of high praise. The simple pathos of his acting touches the heart, and the character which he depicts is never exaggerated or over-drawn. The baby was in surprisingly good humor, and little Maud Thompson, who took the part of Little Chrystal, fully won the hearts of the audience by her charming, chlld-lke ways. Laughter and tears alternated in rapid succession, and an electric thrill of sympathy ran through the house In the effective scene at the close of the last act, where the child throws her arms around the neck of the blind and feeble wanderer, returned home at last, and calls him Father!' Altogether the performance of last evening was great success, and one which is sure to be re- peated during the coming fortnight"
 Scarlet Nine," replete with excitement and thrilling situations incident to life in Mexico, will be presented by company at the opera house Saturday evening.
 Of the comedy drama, ''The New Mugg's Landing" which will be presented at the opera house Monday evening, the New York Times says: s' The New Mugg's Landing as presented at the opera house last evening was one of the best entertain ments of the kind ever seen in New York. It is Imaginable, bright and sparkling from first to last. Every player was up in his or her part, and there was no drag or dull ness in any part of the play. Miss Bishop as Little Muggs was as bright and vivacious as could be. She has improved wonder fully within two years, and may now be said to be rival of Lotta, who stands at the head of her school of acting. A better company and brighter play have not been seen our stage in many a day"

The book is eighteen inches long by ten

VIEWS OF A DEALER.
Said real estate man yesterday. Il
do not find fault with the people in de-
manding SO much money, for would
do as they have done, but do CON-
plain of the way men in our business
have educated property owners to look
for ali cash payments. Now when a
man wants to do anything with real
estate. he can't, for the reason that it
takes about all he has to get single
piece Of land, and gives him no room
for specializing in several places. This
discouFages investment and sends many
a dollar out of the country that would
otherwise be placed"
HOTEL TALK.
The talk is again of q hotel. This
time the idea is to run it near the Utah
Central depot and even to having the
trains run into the depot. This idea is
thoroughly English, and is OF the
greatest convenience to travellers.
Moreover, the scheme is to bring Hot
" Warm Spring water into the hotel in
pipes, and make the place attractive in
many ways.
The talk of building is yet to receive
confirmation. The lumber yards are
full and dealers state that there is no
increase over last seasons demands.
they are prepared for building move

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
yesterday afternoon and evening. That
there will be tremendous rush of
visitors to the city, is foregone conclu-
sion and that the number will be aug
| mented by those who come from all
parts, not on account Of religious
motives, but to see what the much :
| talked-of boom is like, is a matter
equally certain. The increase OF street
population every Saturday since the
real estate fever took hold, tells with
| how much curiosity the matter is re-
Corded in suburban districts. Many OF
| these visitors will have stray sums 20
| invest, and once in the midst OF the
fever, there will be no rescuing them.
