Urnnns and Neptune.

Uranus is evening star, but too near the sun
to be seen. His apparent diameter is 3T.4 and
his distance l,7z,5OOOOO miles. Neptune is
morninp star, rising about midnight He is in
the cluster of stars known as the Hyades, and
unless his position is accurately known, there
may be some difficulty in distinguishing him
from the many small stars in that neighbor-
hood with small telescope. 1t requires a tel
escope of about three inches aperture to show
his planetary disk plainly and easily.

THE NEWS OF BAYONNE.

Al .L=
Frank Dollars Death Is Thought to
Have Been Accidental.
The body of Frank Bollar, engineers
steward, who was shot and killed by
John Charles Dean, second steward of
the British steamer Victory. on Satur-
day night, at Constable Hook, Bay
onne, was removed to Speer's morgue,
Jersey City, yesterday, by order OF
County Physician Converse. The
date of the Coroner's inquest will be
made known today.
1t is the general belief that Dean
shot his messInate accidentally, and
the sworn statements of the carpenter
and cook, who were witnesses of the
occurrence, corroborates the belief. 1t
is a fact that as soon as Dean realized
that Bollar was shot he rushed up to
Centreville, over two miles distant.
for medical aid and returned to the
vessel again. No arrest was made
until it was found that the poor fell
low was dying. Bollar lived about
two hours and a half after he was
shot, dying at eleven o'clock.
incidentally the first mate said to a
party that Dean and Bollar quarreled
some time ago, but he did not relate
the cause or circumstances of the
quarrel. On Saturday evening both
had been engaged in playing checkers,
after which they chatted, while Dean
cleaned his revolver, and the cook and
carpenter played checkers. Bollar
was eighteen years old and an English
man.

Hartford is still second, although she
dropped three of five games played. With
five straight victories Worcester has
mounted from fifth to third place, while
Wilkesbarre, having lost three of o en-
counters, has dropped from third to
fourth. Having had q similar experience
Newark has crawfished from fourth to
fifth. Through four successive successes
Lowell has dispossessed Easton, who only
won one of five contests, of sixth place.
New Haven brings up the rear, having
suffered four defeats.
1t is not likely that the games of the
coming week will materially change the
play two games at Easton, one in Newark
and two home. Hartford is scheduled to
appear twice in Lowell, once in Worces-
