 McGeachy has not made an error in 51 games, and he accepted 93 chances during that time.
 Holiday of Cincinnati has made 24 doubles, 6 triples, and 16 home runs this season.
 Omaha has in Nagle one of the coming back stops of the country. He has caught in no less than 73 of the S2 games his club has played.
 New York must now gain three games on Boeton to take the lead. This means that the Giants must win every time Boston wins and win three times when Boston loses: Itis a big contract.
 Clarkson's work yesterday was some thing to be proud of, Ten hits in eighteen innings, and seven of these were made in the first nine innings. If Boston wins the pennant the chief glory of the achievement will belong to John Clarkson.

Some genius of Rider Haggard turn of mind who is on the Norwalk Gazette tells a story to the effect that @ mans horse stopped short in road near Nor walk Saturday night, frightened at what appeared to be log lying across the road. The driver went up to the SUD- posed log and kicked it, when to his hor- TOT he perceived that it was gigantic snake. He fled and the huge reptile slowly crawled into the woods, tearing down underbrush and tearing bark off trees in it's course. The details of the story make it one of the finest pieces of lying known to Connecticut journalism for many years.

F,sKEvILLE DAM DISASTER.
The Pnwtuxet Valley Company Respon.
 sible Lor the Iivcs Lost.

PROVIDENCE. R. l., Sept. 13.-The do- cision of Coroner N. D. Church in the matter of the Baskerville dam disaster, in which Mary Hopkins, May II. Few and Ruffloyd lew lost their lives, is that the deaths were caused by the neglect and cnrelessness of ts.c people who built the big dam, and the poor spirit of economy shown by the Paw thxet Valley Company.
 The State Commissioner of Dams, Samuel E. Stone. comes in for a share of the criticism. The Pawtuxet Valley Company is held responsible for the loss of life, and 1t is said that some steps will be taken in the courts to secure tho people from similar disasters in the future.

SECOND REGIMENT SIGNAL CORPS
No Reorganization As Yet-A Pett-


 ton to the Governor.
 Says the New Haven Palladium to- day Lieutenant Thomas F. McKierpan, ex-comm andant of the signal corps of the Second regiment. is engaged in reor- ganizing the corps in accordance with the recently enacted law placing the corps upon footing similar to that of the machine gun platoon. Formerly the commandant of the corps was staff officer appointed by the colonel, but hereafter he will rank as a line officer.
 Governor Bulkeley, as commander-in- chief, was given power to recommission the existing commandants at the time the new law went into effect, August 1. and has done so in the cases of the First and Fourth regiments and Fifth ton of the colonels of those bodies. Considerable surprise has been expressed by local militlamen at Colonel Doherty's failure to recommend recommissioning of Lieutenant McKier- nan of the Second regiment corps. Some although perhaps unjustly-attribute the coloneIs inaction to antipathy to McKiernan because the latter secured the appointment on Colonel Leaven- worth's staff when a Waterbury man was the opposing candidate. There will be nine men ill the signal corps with headquarters in New Haven. Nearly all the New Haven members of the old corps and several others have signed 2 petition asking the governor to organize them into the signal corps and recom- mission Lieutenant McKiernan as their commandant. Colonel Doherty, it is said, has intimated that he will endorse such petition, which would then un- doubtedly be granted by the governor. No Waterbury officer can command the corps, as the law provides it shall be To- cated in New Haven.

Sheriff Glover of Newtown Finds q Missing Gun.

Missing Gun.
 Some important new evidence has been discovered in the Newtown murder case in which Rudolph Stoeffel is ac- cused of killing Andrew J. Peck. It is said that the barrel of the gun with which the shooting is supposed to have been done has been found in a coal pit with the stock burned off. Whether the rumor was true. or false could not be learned, as Sheriff Glover. who is report ed to have found the weapon, would neither confirm or deny it. It is believed, however, that the rumor is true and that the finding of the gun barrel will play an important part in the next trial of the case there can be no doubt.

 CLEARING HIMSELF.

The above is the title of q thrillingly interesting story by JENNIE DAVIS BURTON, a well-knOwn and popular writer. The story tells in q clear and entertaining style the advent ures of a young express messen- ger who was charged with hay ing committed a robbery upon his company. The plot is ad- mirab1y constructed, and with. out any of the "blOOd and thun. der" sensatiOnalism, the story is yet so rich in stirring incidents that the reader, once starting to peruse it, will be 10th to lay it down until he has read every line. This charming serial, pro- fusely Illustrated, will shortly be begun in these columns. We congratulate ourselves on hav- ing been able to secure it, and only suggest to all lovers of good fiction that they subscribe soon so as to secure the opening chap ters.

The French government pays to the French
fishermen bounty of S15O per quintal upon
every quintal Of fish caught by them and sold
In foreign markets. This fish comes into
competition with fish caught by the fisher
men Of Nova Scotia both in the home and
foreign markets. The Dominion government
to keep French fish out of the Dominion
markets has imposed duty of so cents per
quintal, but this has not proved sufficient,
and the Nova Scotia fisherman is finding
himself subjected to ruinous competition in
his home market But this is not all. Some
foreign countries. notably Italy, have i'm
posed discriminating duty against French
fish, while they admit Canadian fish free.
This would tend to Offset the advantages the
French fishermen derive from the bounty and
put the Canadians on an equal footing
1t appears. however, that a good many Of
these French fish escape the discriminating
duty altogether. They are shipped from st.
Pierre to Halifax, where middlemen get pos
session Of them, and after labelling them
Canadian caught fish proceed to ship them
as such. These frauds have assumed such
proportions that the matter has been brought
to the attention Of Parliament. The fisher.
men demand that the dutyof so cents a quin.
tai shall be increased enough to give hen
adequate protection, and that stringent regu.
lations shall be made to break up the fradu.
lent export business. 1t will be seen from
this that the demand for protection against
competitors with superior advantages is moi
peculiar to American fishermen.

some Reforms.

An enterprising metropolitan journal has
asked dozen or more celebrated people to
name the great reform that is needed to
make Americans better and America greater.
AS might have been expected each person ad-
yocates different reform. No two agree on
any single reform and the wide variety of
reforms suggested show either that America
Is very wicked place or that her reformers
are very critical. We are inclined to be-
beve that 1t shows the latter. Andrew Car
negie says that one Of the fore most reforms
is to impre IS upon people who have the will
and the power to give, that except when
they help those who have helped themselves
their aid produces more evil than good"
Mr.. Carnegie's opinion is entitled to great
weight; but the public have not yet fully
awakened to the need of re forming the man
who freely gives. They will take more readi-
ly to the mild reform advocated by Mrs.
Frank Leslie, who thinks that art training
should have more important place In the
courses Of study In our common schools
Professor w. G. Sumner naturally thinks
free trade is the great reform needed: George
william Curtis is for political reform, at the
clinton b. Fisk thinks the abolition of the
saloon is needed; Henry George of course
thinks the country would be much better
were his land theory in operation; and the
inventor Edison says that manual training
in our public schools is reform very much
needed and one that will advance us very
much as people," Strangely enough Mr.
Erastus Wiman does not put commercial
union forward as the great reform needed,
but advances the idea that the expensiveness
of competition Is great drain upon the nat
ural resources, on account Of the great
amount of useless labor that it entails.
George W. Cable fears that our people are
not keeping up the courage Of war in time of
peace. AugHstin DAILY, the theatrical mana.
ger, is for having more stringent divorce
laws, less bribery at elections and more re-
ligion in school instruction. To Julia Ward
Howe woman suffrage appears to be the re-
form most needed at the present time. A.
M. Palmer, another theatrical manager,
takes the happy view that the times are not
out Of joint, and such being the case he hard
~ thinks there is need Of recommending any
reform. Professor Richard T. Ely recon-
mends religious reform" or rather a
reformation. Says he: when Christians
uesin 70 make philanthropy the concern of
ene,r hearts and minds all other reforms
wiii iohow inevitably" and when Christ
lanity penetrates our entire life. strife be-

The time has gone by when O'Donovan
Rosa and his handful of revolutionists had
any standing or influence with any consider
able number Of Irishmen either in this coun-
tryor in Ireland. He was long ago shown
to be pestilential demagogue, full of brag
and bluster, but always careful to keep him
self out of harms way. Were 1t not for this
fact his recent call for a dynamite convention
might work great injury to the cause Of Ire
land. However much sympathy people may
have for the men of Ireland they have no
sympathy with scheme of liberation which
depends on dynamite as Its chief effective
force and relies upon the destruction of
innocent women and children for terrifying
the English government into doing Justice to
the people of the Emerald Isle. We're it be-
lieved that Rosa represented any considera-
BILE constituency his dynamite convention
would do more to retard the cause OF Ireland
than all the efforts of the Tory government
have done and can do for many years to
come. But fortunately for Ireland, Rosa
has ceased to represent anybody but him
self.
