RALEIGH, N. O., August 30.-There
is much talk here about cotton covered
with cotton instead of with iute bag

Farmers Alliance men will use no jute

 At Springfield yesterday evening the New Ravens won decided victory over the Springtield-Ne Bedford-Springfiel poloists. The score was to 1.
 At Bridgeport the home team defeated Meriden goals to 8. This puts Bridge port at the head of the league with re- cord of IA games won and9 lost. Meri- den is second with 14 games won and II lost.

 John Smith left for Boston last night and will probably sign Menard for Bridgeport. Menard has expressed wish to play in this city, but Boston will try and hold him. He is playing a great rush this season.-Bridgepor News.
 The Hartfords have not excited the admiration of Hartfordites so far. The season is young yet. In one season in the Massachusetts league the team was fourteen games behind the New Bedfords and yet won the champion ship.
 Billy O'Brien thinks that if Sullivan | and Kilrain ever meet it would be quite the proper thing for Mitchell and Demp- sey to have a ''go" in the same ring | immediately after. He further says he will back Dempsey for S5,000 to fight Mitchell on that occasion.
 Manager Lucas of the Meridens fined the members of his team $10 each for in different playing Monday night at New Haven. The boys were highly indignant and protested against such an action on the part of Manager Lucas. In conver. sation with Manager Lucas last night he claimed the fines were just and would go.
 The injury received by Valiant in Tuesdays polo game with Meriden will prevent him from playing for several weeks, and Hill has been appointed cap tain of the New Haven.

 While Joseph Mossette and Mrs Ella Turner who keep resort at 142 Meadow street, were in court yesterday morning, their apartments were forcibly entered through-a front window and ransacked, S39 in money and a miscellaneous as sortment of silverware being taken. Officer Dodds set to work upon the case and before night arrested Joseph Shaw and recovered all the property but the money. In court this morning the prls- oner had nothing to say except that he took no money. MoSsette said that his trunk had been broken open and S39 Tn money taken. Part of the collection of silverware also belonged to him, but most of it was the property of Mrs Iur- her. Shaw was found guilty and bound over to the superior court under bonds of $500 for day burglary, and in addition was sentenced to thirty days in jail, with costs. for theft.
 For more than year residents of the Brooklyn district have found cause to complain of the nature of the house kept bv Edna Santana in the north end of Bayer's block. Chief Egan has notified the woman, who has a bad reputation, that unless she changed the character of her house she would find herself in trouble, but no attention was paid to the warning, and last evening she was ar rested by Officer Dodds. Another woman who has been living with Mrs Santana for several weeks could not be found probably having been warned by the proprietress, who said she expected a visit from the police. Eight or ten officers testified as to the reputation of the place | and the character of Mrs Santana. Men and women have been known to go in and out of the back door as late as o'clock at night. After the testimony for the prosecution was i'll the case was continued, by request of the woman't counsel, until next Wednesday.

FROZEN TO DEATH.
An Unknown Man Fonnd WitE
 Christmas Toys in His Pocket

An Unknown Man Foand With
 Christmas Toys in His Pocket
 On Christmas day Benjamin Buck and Fay Goodrich went hunting in the north part of Lebanon. While crossing the rear of the farm of the late Joseph Tue ker, about one mile west of Chestnut Hill depot on the Air Line railroad, and not more than fifteen rods from it, they came suddenly upon the body of dead man.
 The man was found lying in a pasture, covered with fall briars and birches. He was about five feet eight inches in height, had dark hair (quite close cut), and a moustache, and looked to be from 30 to B years old. He was dressed in black suit, blue neck tie, turn-down collar, button shoes, white shirt, gray underclothing, gray wooden stockings and a brown overcoat which was torn open behind, hat missing. In his pockets were found red silk hand kerchief. and red and white cotton one, a Boston Herald dated Saturday, Decem- Der 9, 1888, large clay pipe, matches, tobacco and an empty pint bottle. Also fancy bottle of cologne, small har- monica. two dolls about two inches long, and one fancy dressed doll about six inches long. The latter articles appeared to be recently purchased. His hands and face were somewhat scratched, as though he had stumbled about con- siderably among the briars. There were no wounds or bruises which would have caused death. Station Agent Loomis recognized the man by his torn coat as having passed the station last Saturday night very drunk. A Frenchman named Jacobs testified to meeting the man that night. He said he had been put off a tram. If Jacobs is correct in his identification, the theory is that the man went from Colchester ol Turnerville to Willimantic Saturday morning on the cars, bought Boston Herald, got drunk, then remembering his wife and little ones purchased such things as were found on his person, got out of money and attempted to walk home. He stepped off the track to avoid some train, and, not finding his way back in the dark, got discouraged ano laid down in comparatively clear space and, it being cold night, he no doubt fell asleep and was frozen to death.

 The steward. Alfred F. Wilcox, and a seaman, John s. Stokes, were aboard and saw the bloody affray, but Captain New ton was ashore at the time.

The body of the murdered man was brought to New Haven yesterday.

Fought Like Tigers.

William Tracey and Thomas Rooney, of Bridgeport, met Christmas day and agreed to settle an old grudge by having formal fight. Accompanied by about twenty-five friends they went to the woods in the rear of the Park cemetery in North Bridgeport, where a ring was pitched, seconds were. selected, and the fight begun. It lasted only fifteen minutes, but those who were present say it was most brutal affair. Both men are strong and stout, and they fought like tigers. Tracy was the better man of the two and knocked his opponent down several times, and finally laid him out SC that he was unable to come to time Rooney had one of his arms broken, and his face was a horrible sight. After the fight was finished and Tracy was de clared the winner, Rooney's friends be came angry and pitched on Tracy, beat ing him unmercifully. The fight be came general, but Tracy finally escaped No arrests have yet been made.

CoNNEcrIcUT,s RAILRoADs.
Their. Earnings for the Year Ending Septemher 80. 1SSS.

September 30, 1SSS.
 The railroad commissioners have re- ceived returns of the business of the Connecticut railroads for the year ending September 30, 1888, and the chief figures are given below. The figures of the rail roads which have consolidated with others, by lease or otherwise (such as the Naugatuck, Northampton, Stamford, and New Canaan, etc., with the New York, New Haven and Hartford), are aggregated with the figures of the main road as to the several items in 1888, and also as to net earnings for 1887. The earnings of the roads in which Water bury has direct interest were as fol- lows: New York, New Haven & Hart ford-gross, $9. SS9, ,29S; net, S2 ,297 ,236. New York & New England 8, 273, ,454; net, $1 ,34S, ,762. Meriden, Water bury & Connecticut River-gross, $39, 906; net, S4 ,444.
 The gross earnings of all roads in the state show an increase of S6S9, ,6S6. 15; the operating expenses an increase of S1 ,616,- S61.75, and the net earnings a decrease of S324 ,455, ,06, This is largely due to the heavy expenditures of the Consolidated road for construction work, etc., the net earnings being decreased S52S, ,151. The New York and New England also shows decrease of S342 ,267, due to work on the main road and leased lines.
