HARvARD,S BASE BALL TEAM.

HARVARD,S BASE BALL TEAM. Candidates for Pitcher and Catcher
 Regular Work Begins at once.
 The Boston Herald has this to say of Har- yards base ball team:
 A meeting of the candidates for the posi- tion of catcher and pitcher of the Harvard university nine was called couple of days ago, but no new material appeared. The can- didates for pitcher are Bates '91, Kielly 20, Luce '91 and Mcleod go. For catcher, Hale L. s. S., Henschaw go and Rowland L. s. Hours will be assigned to each man for prac- tiee in the cage. which will begin tomorrow. Captain Willard has also undertaken to coach Perrin, Churchill and Bell of the freshman class, who are trying for the freshman nine, the first two for pitcher and the last for catcher.
 Regular work for the ball team will begin on Monday and it will be very thorough. The captain and other prominent players have been busy until now in getting their two pe- titions-one to be allowed to have a profes- sional coach and the other to play with pro- fessionsls, granted by the committee govern ing athletics. The committee is made up as follows: Faculty members[Profs; Charles E. Dunbar, William E. Byerly, and Albert B. Hart. Graduate members-Dr. H. P. Wall colt, MT. William Hooper and MT. George B. Morrison. Undergraduates-Perry D. Traf-
 ford s9, Lewis J. Morgan '89, James R. Fin lay '91.
 To persuade ths committee that it was wise to grant the two petitions was no easy task, and the officers of the base ball club deserve great credit for the manner in which they presented their case, with a large amount of favorable testimony from the best sources. Now that the petitions are granted good work is expected throughout the winter. There
 has been some talk of engaging Arthur Irwin of the Philadelphias as coach for team work in addition to Clarkson. This has been given up, however, as there is little doubt but that permission to engage him would be refused. Clarkson begins work at once, and will look out for the batteries in the cage which has been prepared for use.

AT THE OLD STONE CHURCH.
Specially Interesting Services Lasl

Specially Interesting Services Last Sunday.
 The services at the old stone church, East
 Haven, last Sunday were very impressive and
 interesting. Eleven persons united with the
 church under profession of faith, the pastor,
 Rev. D. J. Clark, receiving them and extend-
 ing to each the right hand of fellowship and
 greeting in behalf of the church with words
 as appropriate and beautiful as he always
 has on such occasions. The sermon preached
 was appropriate to the beginning of new
 year and was listened to with much attention and it has been requested that it be repeated for the benefit of those who were not there. The church and society are in very flourish ing condition. At their recent annual church meeting the treasurer reported all debts and obligations paid, with a small balance re- maining in his hands, which fact is worthy of note, as there have been repairs and inn provements during the past year amounting to several hundred dollars. The pastor Bible class surprised him not long since by showing their appreciation of his work and friendship in substantial way by making him a handsome Christmas present, both needed and useful.

Ges Rid Of That Bad Taste.

When you wake up in the morning with bad taste in your mouth, with your throat and tongue dry and yellow coating on your teeth and gums, don't imagine it was all caused by what you ate the night before. Oi course everybody does that and everybody ssswears of' from again eating such food. The trouble is that your liver Is clogged, your kidneys are overworksd and your bowels are not doing their duty. Take from three to ten of Brandreth's Pills and note the sudden and wonderful change in your system.

NRW YORK. Jan. 2.
 Stocks opened generally from # to $ per cont. higher, and these gains were supplemented by fur ther fractional advances in the early trading under the lead of Missouri and Perry coal. The coalers, however, displayed considerable weakness and Lackawanna of per cent. from it's best figure, followed by the rest of the list. The decline culmi- mated at noon and prices after that time showed an advancing tendency, although very little progress was made until well into the afternoon, when Union Pacific, St. Paul, Reading and some of the special ties developed strength and the early losses gene rally were recovered. Intense dullness and stagna tien became the feature toward the end of the day and the maket closed dull and steady at irregular changes of small fractions from the opening prices Railroad bonds were more active than for some time and the sales reached Sl, ,822, ,0o0.

RAILROAD LoBB11srs Acrlv,

An Extra Session of she Iowa Legisla-
 ture Probable-Judge Brower's De-
 cisions.
 DIES MONIES, Ia., Jan. 7.-The question of
 an extra session of the legislature hinges
 largely on the decision of Judge Brewer in
 the last injunction case of the Trunk lines
 against the railroad commission, which was
 argued at St. Paul December Ii last. His
 decision is expected daily. The general opin~
 ion is that it will be adverse to the State. If
 this is 50 it is thought that an extra session of the legislature is sure to be called. The
 shippers of the State will hold State con- vention soon in this city, probably about the 18th inst, to agree upon measure for the consideration of the extra session if one is called, and also fix upon line of concerted action.
 Great importance is attached to the meet ing. The railroads are apparently passive in the matter and show little interest, except in the opposition of recognized railroad papers, which are opposing an extra session, osten- sibly on the ground of the great expense which will be attached to it. There is evidently something in the wind, for railroad lobbyists have begun to appear and members of the legislature, who are | leaders in railroad legislation, have been much in private conference with the gover- nor of late.

Probate Court-Judge Robertson.
 The suit of Ars. Catharine Goldey of Brooklyn against Rev. MT. Lathbury of the Summerfeld M. E. church was partially heard before Judge A, Heaton Robertson of the Probate court yesterday. Seven years ago Henrietta Chandler, 8 very pretty young lady of Newark, moving in good society, gave birth to an illegitimate child, and the infant at the time was spirited away to save the family from disgrace. MT. Lathbury at the time was the pastor of Brooklyn Methodist church, and in his flock was lady by the name of Mrs. Catharine Goldey. In some way unknown to the divine Mrs. Goldey came into possession of the child. She asked the minister to adopt the infant, but he re- fused, and finally was sent to New Haven to take charge of the church of which now he is pastor. Mrs. Goldey renewed her request in bury decided to adopt the child and he ac- cordingly did so.
 Mrs. Goldey later changed her mind and asked MT. Lathbury to return the child, which he refused to do. She retained ex- Judge Harrison and Arthur Wright as her counsel, while Mir: Lathbury engaged Attor- neys Arvine and Dow. Before Judge Rob- ertson yesterday the petitioner tried to show that the reverend gentleman secured the child by fraud and deception. Mrs. Goldey's counsel moved to continue the case one week, but the defense objected, and the ob- jection was sustained. In the afternoon Mrs. Goldey denied that she ever gave the child in adoption to MT. Lathbury. She charged him with lying to her. The case was continued until today. Mrs. Goldey is member of the board of nurses of the Soci- ety for Friendless Women and Children in Brooklyn, and she is also the wife of the principal of public school in New York.

The well is piped the entire length to prevent the water from flowing in. The men in charge claim they have passed through two small oil veins of very thick dark oil. The superintendent says they bored 400 feet
