Two Pretty Girls Arrested for Insult
 Ing People 0m Chapel Srreet-TWO
 Others Taken in For street Walking.
 A sight which brought sadness to the hearts of many was seen yesterday afternoon shortly after five o'clock. Two girls, both about nineteen years old, were walking down Chapel street talking loudly and insulting people whom they met. It was easy to see that they had been drinking. One was posi-
 lively handsome and the other was tolerably good looking.
 They were MamieDowns and JuliaWallace. Complaint was made to Officer Stewart, and he arrested them in front of Howe & Stetson's. A crowd soon gathered and fol-
 lowed them to the police ohics. The Wallace girl fought all the way, while her companion tried to help the officer quiet her. He tried to hold her by the arm and then tried it by putting his arm around her waist, but she would get away and run out into the street. She punched him in the face, but he stood it. At the police station the Wallace girl was very insulting. She ssid she wasn't drunk, | and attempted to walk straight to show she \ was not. The other one was more quiet and \ finally burst into tears. But both had to go behind the bars.
 Previous to this Officer Stewart had arrest \ ed Lizzie Schwenck and Sadie Rice, two Bridgeport girls eighteen years old, for street walking. They answered the description ot i two girls who have run away from theil homes in Bridgeport, and it is believed they were enticed away.

BASE HAIL TALK.

Grounds Al the Depot-To Re Deh-
 nfteIY Settled Upon To-Day-The
 Railroad Company Is Willing.
 It will be definitely settled to-day wheth- CT or not the ground at the depot, bounded by Meadow, Portsea and West Water streets and Columbus, will be secured as the base ball grounds of the New Haven Amuse ment association The Consolidated road owns three- quarters of the lot and the Trowbridge estate the remainder, of which Ezekiel Trowbridge has charge.
 Representatives of the Amusement com-
 pany were told yesterday by Superintendent
 Shepard that President Clark was willing
 that the grounds should be used for base ball
 purposes if MT. Trowbridge was willing to
 let his property for the same purpose. MT. Trowbridge will give his answer this morning.
 It will cost about $3,500 to fill in the ground and put up fence, but the company feel that they will have the hearty co-opera- tion of the people of New Haven. There will be no better grounds in the country. The Consolidated road will derive big income if the grounds are there, as people will come from all intervening places between Meri. den and Bridgeport. Then the Derby road
 
 up the Valley. Besides, two lines of horse carse run near it.
 To have the grounds in this location means
 not only 8 source of increased revenue to the Amusement company, but also to the Con- solidated and Derby roads and the horse car
 lines, whereas if the grounds are situated
 somewhere else nobody but one horse car line will be benefited.
 Manager Spence is still in the city, but will probably return to New York to-day. He says he is really surprised to find how much interested the majority of people are in base ball and for the success of the new en- terprise. He says New Haven people must not expect that their team will win the cham pionship, but he will guarantee that the men will play good, clean, snappy base ball and make other teams know that they have had to play their best to win.
 Here is what the New York Press says oi our manager: ''The New Haven club will have strong manager in Harry Spence"

Evidence of the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters comes from the following letter from Charles Yeager of Company A, 11th U. s. Infantry, stationed at Fort Sully, Dakota:
 ''I have been using Allcock's Porous Plasters for the past ten years, and feel quite lost if I have not half dozen in my posses sion In this section of the country we have at times very severe cold.
