WORLD OF SPORTS.

{: John German, who will ::be remembered as pitcher for the New Britain nine in 1855, is reported as slowly dying at his home in St Louis. He received the in juries which will probably prove fatal at Omaha two years ago while sliding for second base.
 The pool contest between Harvey and Sutton at Harvey Bros billiard parlors last night attracted q goodly number of spectators. Harvey won the match hands down, beating Sutton by score of B to 9 points. After the match Sutton gave an exhibition of fancy shooting at which he probably has no equal.
 Co G's base ball team met last evening and voted to play the match game for s25 a side with the Acmes next Friday A committee consisting of the manager, cap tain and secretary was appointed to meet a committee from the Acmes Saturday night at the armory at s o'clock Co G's team has received challenges from the lief fersons of Hartford, the Resolutes of Mer- iden, and from several military teams. It is probable that a game will be arranged for tomorrow with some team.
 The directors of the New Haven base ball club released Catcher O'Rourke yes terday, giving as their reason that he is too high priced player. People on the in side, however, say that it is because he did not support Sanborn, a newly signed pitcher, ill Tuesdays game with the Wor- cesters. Pitcher Sworbach has been sus- pended for declining to play when ordered to do so, and Pitcher Doran was yesterday fined $25 for not fulfilling his contract. Mckee of the Wilkesbarres has been sign ed, and it is probable that Galligan will be released

HIGH LICENSE NEXT YEAR.
The Screen Law Passed Upon by
 the County Commissioners.

The SCE0oH LAW IuSScu Opoh oy
 the County Commissioners.
 At the convention of the state county commissioners held in Hartford yester- day there were present For New Haven county Jacobs and Burleigh New Lon don, Saxton, Ayers and Hulburt; Wind ham Kelly, Morse and Stanton; Middle sex, Hubbard, Wright and Griswold Tol- land, Walker and Brown: Fairfield, Page, Johnson and Olmstead; Litch6eld, Dun ming.
 There was an interesting discussion upon the screen law, and the action of the commissioners in this matter will un- doubtedly be setback to the zealous pros ecuting agent of this city.
 A case was given where the bar was in the third of series of rooms, the front room being the office and the second a cigar store. By opening all the doors q partial view of the bar could be obtained from outside. It was the general opinion that the opening of such doors would be sufficient without removing the partition In the cases where the construction of the building itself completely hid the bar, it was conceded by all that when new license was granted the proprietor would be obliged to 50 construct his place as tC comply with the law or forego the priv ilege of a license.
 A resolution introduced by Commission CT Olmstead of Fairfield making the reg | ular license fee $4OO was passed unani
 mously by rising vote.

He Couldn't Get Work

Edward Breckle, of New Britain, was found sleeping in lumber shed belonging to the Farrell Foundry and Machine com pany in Ansonia and was brought before Judge Munger, charged with being a vagrant. With tears in his eyes Breckle pleaded not guilty and told the judge how he left home the week before, leaving a wife in New Britain, in search of work as he did not have enough work to properly support his wife, and how he visited Southington, Huntsville, Waterbury, Nau- gatuck Seymour, Shelton, Birmingham and Ansonia in search of work. Some twelve years ago he worked in Wallace & Sons shops, and Saturday night stopped with an old acquaintance, but failing Monday to get work he disliked to ask for a second night g lodging, and having no money he crawled into the lumber shed to sleep. The judge heard his story and gave him his freedom and he left the room with tears coursing down his cheeks. If he was an impostor he was good actor.

THE NEW ENGLAND STOCK.

Being Bought Up for Consolidation
 With tho Rival Railroad system.
 The Boston Herald yesterday quoted the New York Times as saying that a confer ence of interested security y-holders was held on Monday in Boston, at which it was resolved to hasten, as far as possible, the consolidation of the New York and New England with the New York, New Haven and Hartford sys- tenn The Wall Street News according to the Boston paper, says that the buying of New York and New England stock yesterday was of the very best de- scription. The parties who were instru- mental in giving this stock it's last advance have taken hold again, and propose, if the general market holds, to have it sell some where near the figure that it's earning power, prospects and conditions warrant.
 "This is interesting" comments the Herald, land now, will the News be kind enough to state, independently or on be- half of the pool, about what price is war ranted by the earning power, prospects and condition of the road It is now sell ing at 51, only point and a trihe more below Canada Southern, q dividend pay ing stock, some 20 points above Chicago and West Michigan, and other dividend paying stock. Both of these properties have demonstrated dividend earning power. What has New York and New England demonstrated as to it's common stock except prospects !'

Knights of the Road in Convention

Knights of the Road in Convention.
 The regular annual convention of the Connecticut Association of Tramps was held yesterday afternoon on the river bank just north of the Hartford Boat club house. Felix Mack, veteran, who knows more about the prominent bull dogs and the places where pie without woodpile can be obtained, between here and Boston, than most any man on the road, had just been elected president, and delegation consisting of Stephen Brophey, from the Waterbury district, and John R. O'Brien, another veteran we'll known on the road had just been appointed to rush the growler up to Morgan street and back when an interruption in the shape of two blue-coated officers appeared. From time immemorial there has been a feud between the association and the police force. So when the manly forms of Officers Gavi Il and Tucker appeared most of the delegates suddenly left. The valiant president, however, and his trusty secretary, Jere- miah Donahue of the Willimantic district, stood their ground and received the officers. They were invited to seats in the city conveyance. The growler delegation, returning at that moment, was also invited to inspect certain public buildings, and joined the excursion. To-day they were received by Judge Fainter, who hospitably directed that they be entertained at the town farm for two months. Hartford Times

EnjOined From Changing the Layout
 of Brook Street.

or BrOOk street.
 The work of widening Brook street has been discontinued for the present by order of the superior court, Judge Carpenter who yesterday granted an injunction in behalf of Daniel l.. Chipman, Emmons M. Chipman and Mary A. Chipman, joint owners of the property on the corner of East Main and Brook streets
 The papers in the case were served upon City Clerk Kilduff last night by Constable Rigney. There are ten allega- tions setting forth That on November IA , 1886, the court of common council accept ed a new layout of Brook street; that on January 3, 1887, the council instructed the board of compensation to assess benefits and damages by reason of the new layout :; that the report of the board of compensa- ton was accepted that Mary A. Chipman has dover interest in the property that Mary A. Chipman had no legal notice of the order of the court of common council to the board of compensation that the defendants appealed to the superior court from said order and the case was still pending; that the proceedings of the court of common council and the board of compensation were without the authority of the statutes that the plaintiffs were entitled to notice and a hearing.
 The writ is made returnable before the superior court ill this city the first Tues day of September, and in the meantime the city and all its officers are enjoined from cont tinuing the work under a penalty of S1 1000. Judge Cowell and c. w. Gil lette are counsel for the plaintiffs.

TAX COLLECTORS IN TOWNS
One of the Queer Freaks of the Iat.
 Legislature.


 One of the Queer Freaks of the Late
 Legislature.
 Below we print two acts passed at the recent session of the legislature. The first went into effect at it's passage and the last law, ill section ?, repeals the first. As no provision for the election of tax col lector by ballot is made it would seem as if the selectmen were given power to ap point tax collectors with other minor off cers. The two acts passed are as follows :: House bill No POS, chapter CLVI.- "An act concerning public meetings and the election of certain town officers'-is the first one of the series. It provides that the towns of Hartford, New Haven and New London shall elect certain officers biennially, and then says: 'Every other town at It's annual town meeting, each year, shall elect town clerk, town treasurer, two auditors, and q collector of town taxes" House bill No 5, chapter CLXXXI- An act relating to the mode of electing town officers," embodies the error. It is as follows.
 Section 1.-Section A of the general statutes is hereby amended to read as fol | lows Assessors, members of boards of relief, selectmen, town clerks, town treasurers, treasurers Of town deposit | funds and of other town trust funds, | agents of town deposit funds, auditors, grand jurors, oonstables, registrars of ! voters. and school visitors, shall be voted for by ballot but all other town officers provided for by law shall be appointed by the board of selectmen of the several towns respectively.
 Section a.--All acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed. l The first act was approved May 9 and the second June 5.

DELAYED BY X BROKEN RAIL

An Accident the NauEatuck
 Division Prevented by Vigilance.
 Yesterday afternoon just after the High Rock train going south had passed Union City, where the working train engine was side-tracked, the latter was notified by telephone of broken rail to the north. Taking up the section gang the spot was reached and it was discovered that about six inches of a rail was broke off between the fish plates. The rail taken along was found to be too long and another had to be obtained The trouble was remedied without delay and the return High Rock train which had been Jagged, was only a few minutes late. It was lucky that the broken rail was discovered when it was as a train crossing it at high rate of speed might have been ditched with disastrous result
