AN INTERESTING RACE.
Three Candidates for the Position
 of District Court Judge.

of District Court Judge.
 It is not yet decided who will preside as judge of the criminal side of the Wa terbury district court. There are three candidates in the field, says the New Haven Palladium. Representative O'Neill of Waterbury, Judge Cowell of the same city and Attorney Sweeney of Naugatuck. Yesterday Mir Hyde of Hartford, a democrat, offered a resolu- tion appointing MT O'Neill judge. The resolution was referred to the judiciary committee, and MT Futile of East Haven offered a resolution appointing Judge COwell to the position, reference to the same committee being made. It is apparent that the democrats are deter mined to secure the position for one of their own political faith and some of the New Haven county republicans arc said to be willing they should do so. Mir Sweeney of Naugatuck has a firm friend in Representative Darlington of that town It seems probable that Judge Cowell can secure the caucus nomination., though there is doubt concerning his hold on a majority of the house members. In 1883 Judge Cowell was nominated for judge of the city and district court of Waterbury and was defeated in the house through the efforts of leading re- publicans and democrats, among the lat ter being the late Calvin H. Carter of Waterbury, then member of the house. The plum went to Albert P. Bradstreet and has since been retained by him. Judge Cowell has been twice elected as- soclate judge of the court in question since the contest mentioned. Both MT O'Neill and MT Sweeney are Irish-Am- ericans and both are active particans. Both have strong enemies and equally strong friends. Both are said to be good lawyers. Mir O'Neill is member of the committee which will consider the res olutions. The fight will unquestionably be prolonged and red hot.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Last nights polo game at Hartford be- tween the Hartfords and Meridens re- suited in victory for the Hartfords by score of 6 to 3.
 Sam Pepin called at the DEMOCRAT of fee this afternoon and stated his willing ness to walk any man in Waterbury, square heel and toe. He claims Leggett is a skipper"
 The race for the polo league pennant is quite an interesting one. The three leading clubs, Bridgeport, Springfield and Hartford are punched, closely to- gether. As each game is played the contest is watched with deep interest by the friends of each team. The standing to date is: Bridgeports, percentage, $50; Springfield, .542; Hartford, .541; Meri- den Al; New Haven, .419.
 The Bridgeport News forms this com parison between John Smith and Dumpy Williams work at goal: Smith plays a wild plunging game. He springs out at every ball that comes in his direction and probably gets credit for many stops when the ball would have gone safely past the cage if he had not moved. Williams plays quietly and only gets such stops as belong to him.
 The 25-mile square heel and toe walk ing match between Sam Pepln and Joseph R. Leggett, at the rink last night was won by the former. There were fair-sized attendance and the race for three hours and a half was very pretty one, both men doing good work. Leggett had slight lead and had almost com pleted his twentieth mile when he slipped and injured his knee and was forced to give up the race. Pepin completed twenty miles in 3 hours 43 minutes and 45 seconds and was awarded the race. Another trial between the two men will probably be arranged.
 According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the American Association players who have money to spare are as follows: Bobby Carruthers, S3O, ,00O and rich pros poets; Nat Hudson, S3O,00O. These play CTS inherited their wealth. Those who have saved money out of their earnings are: Charles Comiskey and Long John Reilly, about $15,000 each. The other prudent players are John Corkhill, Bill Gleason, Biddy McPhee, Hugh Nicoll, Joe Summer, Harry Stovey, Tony Null lane and Doc Bushong. They are worth from s7 ,OoO to S1O,0oo. The most notorious of the improvidents are Ram sey, Latham, Browning, Foutz and Shy der, the latter now of the league.

\ Letter From the Father of One or
 the Newtown Burglars.
 A letter from James Bolger of Sullivan, Ind, father of the youngest of the New town burglars, was read in court at Bridgeport Tuesday by Attorney Wheel CT, who appeared for the prisoners. His pathetic rendering of tLe epistle brough Int a sarcastic smile upon the face of the state attorney, and when Lawyer Wheeler read sentence referring to Bolger's failure to write to his parents but once in six years, in such a way as to misconstrue its meaning to Mir Fessen- den, the latter took the letter and reread it, punctuating it to suit his own notion. Where do you find any punctuation? ?'' asked the opposing counsel.
 ''l am punctuating it, replied the state attorney. "The letter shows that Bol- ger has not been home for six years and his parents did not know that he was alive" The state attorney then deliver ed one of those eloquent and convincing addresses for which he is noted. Judge Torrance denied the motion but allowed continuance of the cases until next Tuesday and the witnesses were dismiss ed with instructions to be in court Tues day morning.

No New Developments In the Union
 City Murder Case.

City Murder Case.
 McKiernan, the Union City murderer, was given hearing before Justice Peck at Naugatuck yesterday afternoon. Long before the hour set for the hearing the court room was crowded, while the side walks around the Town hall were filled with a mass of excited people. When the murderer was led into the court room he walked with the air of man who was going to attend some place of amusement, and seemed to be the least concerned of anyone in the room. Af- ter hearing the story of the crime as told by several of Cleary's companions and Medical Examiner Tuttle's statements, Justice Peck held McKiernan to await the action of the grand jury. McKiernan had no counsel, and was led back to his cell after the hearing. He lit a cigar that he will be out in few days and that he will be admitted to bail. Yes terday he refused to eat, saying he was not hungry, but in the latter part of the day called for a bowl of soup. The night previous, Sheriff Sweeney and Thomas O'Laughlin stayed with the pris- oner. He did not sleep wink during the night, although he lay down. About two clock in the morning he com menced to walk in his cell and paced up and down for several hours. There was such crowd around the Town hall yes | terday afternoon that the sheriff thought | it advisable to wait until late train in | order to take his prisoner to jail. He accordingly told the crowd that he would nottake McKiernan to jail until the next day. They quietly disappeared and the sheriff took his prisoner on the 6:0S train and not dozen in town knew it.
 The statement in a morning paper that Coroner Mix said the testimony be- fore him showed that Cleary was intox- icated is false ill every particular. Cor oner Mix never made such statement
