WORLD OF SPORTS,

Sporting Life says that Pitcher Mikey Walsh wants Syracnse to give him a trial.
 Mike Mansell and Tug Arundel went on racket week ago at Auburn, N Y. They got into a dispute which re- suited in Mike putting mansard roof on Tugs eyes. He then skipped out to avoid arrest. white Tug was less fortu- nate and was locked in a station house cell.
 A fight has been arranged between Jimmy Nelson, formerly of this city and now of New London and Jack McClen- non of Waterbury for purse of S200, the match to come off in about 10 days, probably in the neighborhood of Water bury. Nelson has many friends among the sporting men in this city where he trained for one or two fights some time ago.-Bridgeport News. ''McClenon'' is no other than Platt, who fought with Gus Zills near here week ago. The Wilkesbarre correspondent of Sporting Life gives this send off to John 1 Fitzgerald of this city: In Fitzgerald we have another twirler who has endeared himself to the people of Wilkesbarre. He IS a ball player every inch, and fills his position with that easy grace and de- corum that every player could be proud of. His fielding propensities while pitching are wonderful; he is every where when needed and many game won can be credited to his wonderful t ct.

A FORGER IN THE TOLLS.

Young Murray Stanley of New Brf-
 tain Comes to Grief in this City.
 Murray Stanley, of New Britain, was arrested at the Fremont house by Ser geant Ramon at an carly hour this morning in response to telephone mes sage from that city asking the Water bury police to hold the young man. Stanley came to this city last Saturday and put up at the Scovill house later removing to the Fremont house. yesterday he asked the attendant at the Buckingham cafe to cash a check for $50, but the man became suspicious and refused to do so. The young man has wealthy relations and his father, Alfred Stanley, is a well known resident of New Britain. It has been learned that young Stanley had a habit of making out spurious checks upon his relatives and has practiced this scheme with much success in Providence and other cities. On tho way to the station house the of ficer found him industriously at work tearing up a check. Officer Flannery of New Britain, came down this afternoon and took the young man to that city. It is probable that his relatives will not prosecute him.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Another Horse to be Secured Tor

Another Horse to be Secured for
 the Hose Wagon.
 At the meeting of the board of fire commissioners held last evening the res ignation of Thomas Murgan, assistant engineer of Phoenix steamer No l, was read and accepted and Thomas Lynch appointed to fill the vacancy. Commis- sioner Kelley, chairman of the commit tee on the inspection of the horses of the department, recommended that two horses be placed on the hose wagon. The plan that seemed most feasible for making such a change would be to sell the off horse on No 2's truck and pur- chase a pair. The chief said if that sug- gestion passed he would place 1000 feet of hose in the wagon and not limit the number of men, who should ride in the wagon. The limit now is three. The commissioners accepted the report and ordered the sale and purchase to be made. MT Kelly, as member of the committee on the new fire company for the northern part of the city, said that the greater portion of the population re- sided west of North Main street.
 He thought that as the city had no water pressure there, it is poorly pro- tected, but with the proposed increase of water supply they could be protected center. At his suggestion the commit tee was continued and increased by the addition of two councilmen and two aldermen to assist in coming to satls- factory conclusion.

THE HoUsAroNIC WILL STICK.

Confident of Securing Fair Play From
 the Legislature.
 There has been report about the cap itol which has also been widely circulat ed through the state that the Housaton- ic railroad company, in despair of secur- ing permission from the legislature to build branches as other roads can, had moved to patch up an agreement with the Consolidated. The report is en- phatically contradicted by Colonel Stew enson, as will be seen by the following dispatch forwarded to the DEMOCRAT to-day:
 HARTFORD, April 2.-The statement in circulation that the Housatonic railroad company has endeavored to effect an adjustment of its matters with the Con- solidated railroad is absolutely false. The Housatonic railroad has not and will not relax any proper effort to procure the granting of its petition asking for the same privileges that all other railroads now enjoy in the building of branches and has confidence that the general assembly will do entire justice in the matter.

 Vice-Pres't Housatonic R. R. Go.

An Elephants Memory.

A circus travelling through the country parts of England stopped one day at little town called Hythe. That night when everything was quiet in the tent, animals and employees all being sound asleep. Clytie, one of the elephants, de- iberately and without any uproar, broke leaving the tent started toward the center of the town. Nobody was astir, and so she had the way all to herself.
 She proceeded without delay or hesi- tation to little shop that stood on the main street of the village, and finding it closed, of course, she immediately forced an entrance with her enormous head and was soon as busy an elephant as you ever saw cramming candy and cakes down her capacious throat. The man who owned the shop came running in from the back room, but Clytie did not pause in her lunch on that account, nor did she pay any more attention when he ran out again crying, "Ow! Owl! Ill fact, she totally disre- garded the entire neighborhood when they took up that cry of "Ow! Owl"
 But pretty soon little man came up, who cried out in sharp voice:
 "Hi, there, Clytie! What dye mean? Come out O that now, dye hear!'
 And Clytie did come out, and in a great hurry, too, for the little man was her keeper, and she not only had a great deal of respect for him, but she was afraid of him, as well. But, after all, she didn't care much about it, for she had filled herself with candy and cakes, and that was all she was after.
 The most puzzling question was-how did she distinguish candy shop from any other shop in the village? The shop. man gave the answer to this himself-he had fed an elephant candy at that very shop twelve years before, and inquiry developed the fact that Clytie was that elephant. She had remembered the shoI that was all.-St. Nicholas.

But Tonsorial Artist Went to His
 House to Shave Him.
 Among the numerous April fool jokes played yesterday the pranks of we'll known barber are worth mentioning. Early yesterday morning the barber ar rived at his shop and hurriedly told one of his assistants to go down to Mayor Boughtons residence as the mayor was sick and wished to be shaved The as sistant, who is bright son of Italy, started out to display his talents upon Waterbury's chief magistrate. At the mayors residence he was told that there must be some mistake and the artist visited several houses before discovering the joke. His temper then got the better of him and his rage was beyond descrip- tion. He returned to the shop after hours of deiberation as to the wisest plan of getting even with the projector.

POLICY IN DANBURI.

A Danbury Clergyman Condemns
 the Game From the Pulpit.
 The subject of the discourse of Dr Clark, of the Danbury M E. church was: ..Is Policy Playing Gambling?"
 Perhaps" said the preacher, ''some of you may ask, what do l know about policy? Did I ever play policy? No. Neither did I ever have the smallpox. Nevertheless, know that it is danger ous disease, and from observation so do I know that policy playing is a nefarious openly in Danbury daily. I know that tie runners of policy shops in other cities go from here weekly, their pockets filled with our money. Those who con duct these games are gamblers, for they take pledge from their brothers for naught. They take the money of the poor man and give him nothing in return. l know that policy playing Is system of robbery. and one of the most to be feared forms of gambling"
 The preacher spoke of the methods of the policy men and the idoicy of their dupes, showing the hold it has upon its victim and the harm it works. He de- scribed it as highway to idleness. de- stroyer of domestic happiness, and the tool of systematic robbery.
 The first because it draws a mans at tention away from his business, and rem ders him unfit for work, the prospect of gaining a little by the latter, being but little to that of gaining many times as much by single move at the game. The second from the fact that the money otherwise spent for the pecessaries and comforts of the home is poured into the coffers of the policy shops, and drunkenness and idleness, which lead to quarrels is pro- duced by the surroundings of the game. The last from the fact that person stalking his money at policy has not the least show for winning anything in re- turn, it being conducted by the dealer with the idea of obtaining the poor mans money without return of value. And not only robbery of the money, but of the fire, food and shelter of the families of those foolish enough to en- gage in it.
 The policy dealer, he said, should be sent to jail and the player to the insane asylum.
