PARIS, Ten, Aug. 20.-A man with
woebegone look came to the city this
3ssfternoon. He said that his name was
Wilson, and that day or two since his
wife took their four-year-old child and
left home on foot with a man named
Phillips Wilson SAID that Phillips would
not work and staid about his house until
he made him leave. When he started to
90 away his wife decided to go with him.
This did not seem to hurt Wilson IS feel
ings so much as the fact that Phillips
took his revolver, and his visit to the city
to-day was for the purpose of procuring
q warrant for Phillips for taking his pis-
..tol. The woman's father lived in Red
River county and is a good citizen. Why
the woman should become infatuated
with Phillips is ineXplicable, as he had
sneither money nor good looks.

 The only two teams in the league whose at the rink last night. The game was a close
 one and exciting in the extreme, in which
 New Haven went all to pieces in the last ten
 minutes after tieing the game four times. It
 is rather chestnut to speak of hard luck,
 but such it was, for New Haven oaged the
 ball three times, but it went back on the home team. The score was 8 to 5, the largest number of goals made in our rink this sea- son. What won the game for the Sprinfelds was the passing of Roberts and McPeck in front of New Haven's goal, the prettiest in fact that has been seen here in some time. The home team didn't play together very we'll as team. Hill at center found it im- possible to block Roberts or McPeck. The beauty of the Springfeld's playing is that each man knows where to hit the ball with out looking. Newcomb play ed. on the whole, a fine game, but on several occasions he would not pass the. ball. The best feature of the game WAS Newcomb's brilliant play in pass ing Murray and Canavan and caging the ball in 54 seconds. Roberts and McPeck's pass ing completely bewildered Reed and he didn't make stop until after Springfield had made three goals Connors and Roberts were fined $2 for losing their heads and striking at each other.

 kin. It was couclusively proven that they sold Tuesday nights game to New Haven, and the game will not count. What is more, these two men will never play polo again. Witnesses from Hartford and New Haven were present Cunning and Lampkin de
 nied the charge, and their side was heard. On Tuesday night the gamblers who bought up Cunning and Lampkin made a clean in New Haven, Meriden, Hartford and Bridge rort, and won about s, ,000. There is ring of these men in these cities, and Dunning and Lampkin are not the only men who have been bought up. Charges against other players were brought forward, and it won't be many days before several more players will be b1acklisted. The managers are de sirous to have honest polo. At the meeting every player present was closely questioned, and so was every betting man who was 8 witness, and each and all united in saying that not one of the New Haven or Spring field players could be touched with money. Two of the men in the ring who reside in Bridgeport were in this city last night ln company with Bridgeport player. The fol lowing resolutions were adopted at the meet ing yesterday:

He Will No Longer Be Assistant To

 BOSTON, Jan 1S.-Isaac H. Bromley will retire from the office of assistant to the pres- ident of the Union Pacific railway company March 1. MT. Bromley's duties in this posi- tion, which he has held for the past four years, have been chiefly in connection with the effort to procure settlement of the questions between the company and the government
 It having been decided that no further effort in this direction will be made after the pres- ent Congress, the department heretofore in Mr. Bromley's charge will be discontinued. Accepting Mir. Bromley's resignation Presi- dent Adams writes: ''As you say, the work you came here to do is practically accom- plished 50 far as your part of it is concerned.
 We have not got settlement with the gov ernment, nor are we likely to get one, but the tone of the press toward us has, largely through your exertions, been greatly moder- ated and our case is fairly understood. Under these circumstances do not see any field for active work which remains for you here. It would be otherwise did I have any intention of entering on any wide effort at railroad re- form, calling for discussion through the press. I have no hope of being able to at tempt anything of that sort in the short time left to me. I have wasted four years in futile attempt at an honest settlement, and have no more years to give to work which would in those years, have been worth doing" :"
