WORLD OF SPORTS.

Harry Wheeler played with the Ranches ters yesterday and made three errors. He hit safely twice, however.
 It is said that the Bostons have offered $5, ,000 for the release of Tom Daly of the Chicago, who formerly played in Meriden.
 Five heats of the 2:20 class were trotted yesterday at the Spring meeting at Dan bury and the race was continued until to- day. At the windup Uno had two heats, time 2:314; Westchester two, time 2:34 and Kimball Maid, time 2:S3.
 While umpiring yesterdays game at Chicagos Lynch was struck in the breast by foul ball and laid out. He was very weak when he recovered and began umpir- ing again, although every word that he uttered brought blood from his lungs.
 After winning eight out of ten games, and with every prospect of keeping up the gait, the Giants are again overtaken by the demon of hard luck. O'Rourke was bad ly spiked in yesterdays game, and Tiernan has been called home by the death of his brother. These casualties will dispirit the team, and it is doubtful if they can con- tinue to put up the ball they have played so far during the trip.
 Clarkson is still very much dissatisfied with not receiving portion of the money paid by Boston for his release. The Bos- ton pitcher, while negotiations were pend ing, offered President Spalding $7,500 for his release, but the Chicago Mogul wanted the whole pie, and he got it. When the Saginaws released Clarkson they gave him $1 ,000 of the amount received
 Captain Anson gives daily instructions to his colts on the position they should take while in the batter's box and on scientific batting. Yesterday he was giv- ing Farrell his lesson. The colt couldn't placeahis feet in the manner Ans wanted him to. The big captain had just seized Farrell's ankle, intending to put the foot in position, when Brynan broke the big captain all up by shouting: ''Hold on, Cap, his feet are not mates"

Bario, post office inspector of Meriden, went to Bridgeport yesterday and arrested Hungarian, Joe Besenzci, alias Andreas Schoviski, charged with defraud- ing the post office department.

James Bahan Suffering From Very
 Bad Wound.

Between 12 vnd 1 o'clock this morning, a we'll built man of about 32, staggered down East Main street, his hand pressed to his breast, from which copious stream of blood was flowing from a stab wound. He was accompanied by young man who brought him to Dr Pitkin's office. The doctor found stab wound in the left breast, an inch above and to the right of the nipple, just over the heart. The wound was an inch wide and appeared to have been made with two-edged weapon. The blade having struck rib, glanced down to the next one and entered the cavity of the chest, ranging downward. The man refused to give any explanations but said his name was James Marley, of Wolcott street. He positively refused to give the name of his assailant After the wound was dressed carriage was pro cured to take him home, and it was found that his name was James Bahan, of 251 East Main street. Some of the residents in the neighborhood of the watering trough report row near that place at midnight last night, and it is probable that the wound was received there. Bahan lost an enormous quantity of blood and tainted in the doctors office.

THEY TAKE NO ACTION.
The Conference of the Fire and Road
 Boards Amounts to Nothing.

The Conference of the Fire and Road
 Boards Amounts to Nothing. In response to the call for the fire com missioners to meet as & committee and con- fer with the road commissioners with re- gard to the working of the fire department horses on the streets, Commissioners Kelly, Roberts and Vail presented themselves at the road boards meeting last night, and with Commissioners Coughlan and Good win retired to the ante room. MT Roberts protested against the conference, saying | that the vote of the fire board last Wednes- day, July 1. They failed to meet on that day, and according to the vote no action could be taken on any other night. The minutes of the meeting in question showed | that the vote was to meet the road board at their next meeting Mr Roberts said the minutes were incorrectly reported. He said also that the fire board had no authority to make and arrangements with the road board concerning the horses, without an order from the council. Com missioner Kelly said that the vote to buy the horses was passed by the council with the distinct understanding that the horses were to be worked on the street therefore no order from the council was necessary.
 Mir Roberts "If anyone told the coun- oil that they were, they did it without l au thority from the fire board"
 MT Kelly: "I told them 80 and that was the understanding among ourselves"
 MT Robertsi ''It was not an understand ing with me-"
 MT Kelly: "Then we got the horses by deesiving; in other words under false pre- tences."
 Councilman Goodwin; That was the understanding in the council"
 MT Roberts: "We have no power to act iu the matter of working the horses, unless by order of the council"
 To MT Goodwin ''Your board wants us to give you the horses to help pay you, bills. You have just as much right to say to the police board Here, a number of your patrolmen are of duty 12 hours 8 day. Give them to us to work on the streets. It is a parallel case.'"
 MT Goodwin: "We ask nothing out. rageous. The public sentiment is in favor of working the horses on the streets. The majority of the taxpayers want it."
 MT Roberts: "Who are the taxpayers I don't know one of them"
 MT Goodwin "I could name a great many of them if I chose"
 voice: U. Henry Morrow"
 MT Roberts: II don't believe J. Henry Morrow pays taxes. What do you want tt use the horses for anyway
 MT Goodwin: ''To sweep the street fol one thing"
 MT Roberts: "That would take tn, horses away from the engine house in tn, worst time, the night season.

B. Shoninger & Co.

Some of the things we do for the improvement of Trade; keep only First-Class Pianos and Or gans, known everywhere as Standard Goods. We sell them at the lowest possible prices and most favorable terms. Weber, Shoninger, Emerson < Wheelock are our leaders any one of which will in every way give satisfaction and prove a source of joy in any family. Among the things we do not do is this Never annoy people, who are not ready to buy, or lie about our neighbors goods, but are willing to accord all fair valuation in the market. Neither do we have one price to of fer and another to sell by. as in the case of the Shoninger Piano offered for S150 by J M Kellogg who, when the sum was rendered him refused 1t on the plea that some one in the country had promised to look at 1t in the future. Shoninger tied, with poor chances of duplication, we sug- gest, may have been the reason; although the fact remains that one minute it was for sale and the next 1t was not The public are left to judge of the business integrity of such dealings Lastly we manage our own business honestly fairly and le- ultimately; pay dollar for dollar promptly; fur nish our own Bank Vaults for Leases taken from ifs to collect on the same. Thirty years standing before the people as q Company, Is sufficient guarantee of our stability. Those Shonnger New Style Upright Pianos are elegant in design and finish. We make them and get the price way down, warrant them first-class All the rest of the dealers are blowing about them which proves that they are A No 1, otherwise no abuse would De necessary, Remember an agent nev- CT runs down Piano to you unless 1t Is 8 source of sharp competition. Examine our Shon- finger.

charged with Embe zxIing $500.

Charles s. Dunning, late business manager
of the Morning News, was arrested yesterday
charged with embezzling $500 from the
Morning News. Detective Reilly arrested the
young man at his home in Fair Haven yes
terday. Professor Farnam stated yesterday
that he had made this move only on a con-
viction of the prisoners guilt and sense of
duty for the good of the public and employees
of the paper. It lie thought that Dunning has
spent everything. An opportunity was given
him to make accounts right before his arrest
but the company cannot recover cent. It
is supposed that Dunning collected money
from the papers patrons and did not credit
it. His deficiency is estimated by Professor
Farnam at something like $500. He has a
wife and child. He was formerly at J. E.
Bassett's hardware store and has hitherto
borne good character.
