Figures of Merit for May md the Past
 Six Months.
 The general order from the adjutant gen erals office announcing the standing of the national guard for the month of May and Dilatoriness by the captains of Company D, First regiment, and Company K, Second regiment, caused the delay in its appear ance. In the month of May the relative positions and figures of merit of the regi- ment were: Second, 95.45; First, 95.3S; Fourth, 80; Third, SS.30: the Fifth Bat talion was 1887. and the battery S6.7S. Company F of Hartford has for the month the perfect record of 100. The standing of all organizations for the drill season, November 1, 1887, to May 31, 1888, shows that the Frst regiment has a small lead over the Second, attaining first place by only the small fraction of .O3, the exact figures being: First, 93.55; Second, 93. 3.52; Fourth, SS.64; Third, S1.7O; Fifth battalion, 1920 The brigade as a whole rated S5.57. The rating of Co 4, of this city was 6.3O, and of Co G, 92.7S Platoons of artillery are rated, Second platoon, Battery A, so. 75 First platoon, 73. 3S; and Machine Gun pla toons, Second, 9S. 63; Fourth, 9S.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

John W. Dayton Expires Without Warn
 ing, From Heart Disease.
 The second sudden death within two weeks, each within 100 feet of the other occurred at Peter Bauby's house yesterday afternoon, John w. Dayton, the sewer contractor being the victim. MT. Dayton employs number of Italians, and yester- day was seen at the corner of Union and South Elm streets making up his books He was unable to understand the Italians, and proceeded to Bauby's, and taking off his coat sat down to figure up. He was about to write a check when Bauby noticed peculiar expression on his face. A mo- ment afterwards he toppled off the chair onto the floor. Bauby laid pillow under his head, and supposing that he had merely tainted chafed his hands. MT Dayton did not stir a muscle after falling, and in few moments it was evident that he was dead The police and medical examiner. North were immediately notified, and the latter pronounced death due to heart disease MT Dayton was 54 years of ago and hss been we'll known in this town for 35 years. Back in the sos he was in charge of room at the Web shop. He afterwards served on the police force for several years, and on his retiring was rendered the position of foreman of the soldering room at Plume & Atwood's. For n number of years he has | been a contractor on sewer work.

THOSE FIRE HORSES.
Commissioner Connolly Expresses Him. self With no Uncertain Sound.

ommissioner Connolly Expresses Him.
 self With no Uncertain Sound.
 Apropos of the tempest that has been stirred up in fire department circles, Con- missioner Connolly said to-day that he was unchangeably opposed to working the horses on the streets. II have conferred where the plan of making the fire horses universally opposed to it. Take for ex- ample Bridgeport. She was working her horses on the street when big sash and blind shop caught fire. Time was lost run ming to the houses and changing the har ness and the consequence was that the whole square was burned out. I have asked ex-Chisf Ford of Holyoke ,and he ad- vised me never to vote for it. All of the cities hereabouts have tried it and after being caught once have stopped it. Commissioner Kelly and myself were ap- pointed some time ago to mako satisfac- tory arranoements with the street depart. ment. The arrangements were satisfac- tory to Mir Kelly but not for me, for no arrangement that could be made to work the horses on the street would be satisfac- tory to me. I am doing what think is best for the city. If taxpayers are satis- fed to pay for the horses and keep them in the stables the commissioners should not ! kick. Anyway you cannot get those drivers to drive the horses on the street for the pay they are getting, $55 month. We are putting more than enough on them now. They are on duty 24 hours day, everyday but one in a month; even the time they use in taking their dinner is not their own"

Church, Litchfield, Yesterday.
 St Anthony's Catholic church, at Litch- field, of which the Rev T. R. Sweeney is pastor, was dedicated yesterday with i'm pressive ceremonies, by the Right Rev Bishop McMahon, assisted by a large num- Der of priests. A solemn high mass was celebrated at 1O:30 a. m., with the Rev James Hughes, V. G., of Hartford, cele- brant; Rev J. J. McDoanld, S. J., of Bos- ton, deacon; Rev J. H. Mulcahey, of Water bury, sub-deacon, and Rev P. Joynt, of New London, master of ceremonies. The dedication sermon was preached by the Rev Francis P. Mccarthy, s. J., Superior of Jesuit missions. The reverend gentle man spoke of the noble work the Catholics of Litchfeld have accomplished in erecting a house for divine worship to God, of the good work they have done for their child ren, and the success which always follows such perseverance in teaching the word of God to their children. The church is a modest Gothic structure, with seating ca pacity of 600. The corner stone was laid August :, 1887, and the work progressed very rapidly since. Among the priests who attended from this city was the Rev Father Duggan of St Patrieks church.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The two days shoot of the Southern New England Association of Rife clubs be- gins in Meriden to-day, and it is estirna. ted that over 25O marksmen from all around will be present. The shoot will take place at Cold Spring grove range, and the local lovers of rifle shooting will be on hand to make everything pleasant for the visitors. Great preparations have been made, and as the grove is charming place anyway, it will be almost impossible for things to pass off otherwise than pleasant ly. A recent addition to the grounds is an SO-foot flag pole, erected by an admirer of the club. The prizes for the affair are numerous, and number somewhere in the thlrtles and are very fine. In addition to the regular prizes there is an unlimited number of silver cups, each of which is to be presented to any one scoring 20 points or over i'll the shooting; there is also a large prize to be given to the person secur- ing the largest number of cups.
 Sporting Life's Buffalo correspondent says that Mickey Welch has been under treatment in this city for a month and now reports that his arm is sound again and that he can and will pitch for his 'S6- S7 form once moro. That means volumes to us. It means that the greatest pitcher that ever wore Buffalo uniform is to gain additional honors. By the way, a telegram was received short time ago, signed Nj. F. Welch, and stating that the sendsrs 'arom" was all right and that he could .'gow' in and pitch again, and requesting S25 tQ come here with. The dubious or biography aroused Manager Chapman s suspicious and he wired to Welch for con- firmation. Mickey said he had sent no such message. Waterbury rackets are too easy for us."
 Manager Mutrie has determined on put ting ln Welch and Kesfe for all the twirl- ing work during the remainder of the trip If their present fine condition does not change. He will arrange it so that each twirler will pitch two games out of the three in each city where he is the strongest. and will always send one away day ahead so as to be entirely recovered from the fatigue of travel to pitch the opening game
 The trade of Whitney for Cleveland has not proven success for Pittsburg so far. Cleveland has not yet shown those base ball playing qualities that are required in league player. He is too fat to play an in field position, and his batting him has been disappointing. Phillips signed with the expectation that he would become a good hitter.
 Not content with the work of Whitney, the New York management intend to strenthen third base and for that purpose Jim Knowles, of Jersey City, will be trans ferred to New York to take charge of the bag. Knowles played in Waterbury with the Nationals of the eastern league ill 1885. John Fitzgerald of this city, who has been playing with the Wilkesbarres, threw his arm out in the last Newark game.

uNroRruNATE JOHN scApDEN
Assaults John Whalen With
 n Razor, While Insane.

Grocer John Whalen of East Main street had a fight for life with an enraged maniac Saturday afternoon shortly after press hour, that he will remember to his death.
 He WAS delivering groceries at John Scad- den's house on the Wolcott road, and on entering the kitchen saw the latter i'll one corner shaving himself. He took no mo- tice of him, and was bent over the table checking off the goods when he felt a slight tinge in hislneek which was followed by stream of blood. Turning around he saw Scadden standing over him with a bloody razor and about to make second attempt on his life. The two men grap- pied and a struggle for life begun. The madman was furious, but Whalen man. l aged to grasp the razor which cut his hand | badly, and the shouts of Scadden's sister | attracted the neighbors, who tore Scadden away Whalen was taken to his home and Dr North summoned. He found that the razor had cut through the collar and into the neck, barely missing the jugular vein. | Five stitches were taken to close the | wound. Officers Reid and Noonan arrested Scadden. They found him in the barn in the rear of the house. He made no resistance but cried like baby on the way | to the police station. All day yesterday l he sat in his cell and refused any food. Scadden has been insane for number of years. Eight years ago he entered a Cen 1 tral saloon and drove the bartender out at the point of revolver. Four years ago he met Michael Leary at the corner of Grand street and the Bowery, New York, and drawing pistol opened fire on him. Leary escaped by running into store. Scadden was taken to the Middletown asylum by Constable Morgan year and a half ago but was discharged on June 30, as cured. A few days afterwards he as- saulted one of his oldest friends in the fields near East Main street and Was arrest ed but allowed to go free, his relatives
 promising to take better care of him. He
 was taken to the Middletown insane asy- | lum on the 10:50 train this morning.
