WORLD OF SPORTS.

Pitcher Tommy Lovett received q telegram Saturday from the Cincinnati club stating that they had completed all the necessary arrangements with the Omaha club for his purchase and transfer and were waiting only for his terms to complete the deal for an engagement with him.

Chosen at the Democratic Representative
 Convention Last Evening

It was little after o'clock when the convention to nominate two candidates as representatives was called to order in the police count room last evening. Frederick J. Brown was chosen chairman and Perry c. Mol is as clerk A committee consist ing of Thomas Pagan of the first ward, J. T. Bossidy of the second, Harry Dikeman of the third, and Michael Donahue of the fourth wards were appointed on creden- tials, after which the meeting settled down to work. J. B. Spencer and Benjamin Sedgwick were appoin tellers and an informal ballot was taken for first repre- sentative resulting as follows: c. R. Bald win, IS; H. l.. We'ch, 1, and William Finn, 1. MT Baldwin's nomination was made unanimous, but Chairman Brown said he was very positive that the gentleman would not accept the nomina- tion. A committee consisting of J. B. Spencer and NJ. F. Connolly were appoint ed to find MT Baldwin and the work of balloting for candidate for second place begun. Only one ballot was taken, John ONeil, jr., receiving II votes, Thomas Donahue 1; H. L. Welch 2; and Perry Morris 1. A committee was at once ap- pointed to bring Mir ONeil before the convention. In the meantime MT Baldwin was ushered in and very pleasantly told the convention that he and Judge Lewis were at the rife range on Bank street, where he had been very successful in hitting the bulls eye, when the committee waited upon him. He thanked the gentlemen present for the honor they conferred upon him, but found it impossible to accept. He said: 'I am proud to be honored by you gentlemen 1e- presenting the best city in New England, the place of my adoption. do not regard my nomination as adding strength to the ticket, nor do I think the ticket needs strength since you have settled on one good man in John O'Neil at this very important time now that we are about to change our charter. An informal ballot for first re presentative was taken and H. L. Welch received every one of the eighteen votes
 cast. The committee sent out to find John O'Neil reported that they had been unsuccessful in their search and the meeting adjourned.

KATIE DE BOWS. DEATH.
The Authorities Are as Much in the Dark
 as Ever.

Ever.
 Kate De Bows, the unfortunate girl whose mysterious death is being investi- gated by the New Haven authorities, was buried yesterday. Coroner Mix says that nothing new has been developed.
 Investigation by reporters has proved the innocence of Mir and Mrs Bogart, in whose house on State street the girl died. Mrs Bogart has large family and had employed the mother of the girl as a house. maid. About two weeks ago Kate came to the house, thinking that her mother had begun keeping house there. She had been sick and her mother intimated that her daughter had been confined in Hamden. She asked that her daughter be received for few hours only.
 Mrs Bogart out of pity allowed the girl to come into the house on condition that she go away within few hours, but Katie was taken by what was supposed to be a malarial chill. She was given what domes- tic remedies were at hand, but grew worse and worse until a physician was summoned few hours before the girl died. Mrs Bogart has to regret only that her kindness to an unfortunate girl has put her in an embarrassing position.
