THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY JUNE 18 1ss
DOWN THE HOME STRETCH.

The Senate VIII Probably Adjourn
 Friday and the House Next Week.
 Governor BullIeley Appoints An
 other Judge.
 HARTFORD, June 1S.-The legislature began another week of weary work this morning at 10:3O.
 It is confidently stated by members of the senate that Friday will close their last days session, but the representatives think differently and that the final ad- iournment cannot be reached before the middle of next week.
 The governor sent q communication to the house appointing Silas A. Robbins of Middletown judge of the superior court. The matter was referred to the committee on judiciary. The committee on Judiciary reported | favorabfy on the recommendation of the governor appointing R. J. Walsh judge of the court of common pleas of Fairfield county. The voting was by ballot and resulted in 130 yeas and nays. The same committee reported favor ably on the acceptance of the report on the resolution of inquiry regarding the evading of taxes by the Consolidated road It is claimed that this road has on two different occasions made false returns of capital to the state and thus avoided the payment of more than S230, ,0O0.
 Mir Graves, of Litchfield, said the mat ter was now in the courts and should be left there until settled. The legislature is not supposed to take the place of the courts in this state and decide legal questions. The vote was almost unani nous in rejecting the acceptance of the report This kills the matter in the general assembly.
 The house passed a substitute bill re, garding the Connecticut National Guard which provides that the encampment this summer will last eight instead of six days.

BASE BALL FOR THE GIRLS.

\ New Game That Promises to Be-
 come Popular With the Fair Sex.
 Bustle base ball, a new game intended to give the girls a chance at the popular sport, is the alliterative title of a new play which Waterbury man is trying to have patented. The game is to be played between nine males and nine females, and it is expected that it will become very popular at picnics and school excursions. These are the rules:
 1st When the male nine is in the field the girl who whacks at the ball without shutting her eyes is entitled to first base whether she hits the leather or not.
 End. If she runs to first base without screaming or saying "Oh my" she is en- titled to take second base; if she screams once the first baseman is entitled to kiss her; if she says ''Oh my" ''gracious goodness" or goodness gracious she the captain of the nine being allowed to select the lucky three.
 3d. After reaching first base girl is entitled to take another base every time a female batter hits the ball. 4th. Girl batters shutting their eyes and striking at the ball shall be declared out. Three outs retire the side. 9th. A girl shall be given out if after striking the ball she faints. 9th. When the male nine is at the bat the girls will be allowed to catch the ball in lunch baskets, their hats or their aprons, and one fly catch of this sort retires the side.
 7th. After a male player has hit the ball if he shall fail to make circuit of the bases before the ball is fielded to either the pitcher or catcher at the home plate he shall be declared out. Two such outs retire the side.
 Sth. A male player successfully mak- ing the circuit of the bases is allowed to kiss any one of the female players he may select, This, however, does'nt go if he has dye upon his mustache.
 9th. Any girl feeling that she is not getting her just share of the osculation shall be allowed to call time and demand her just portion. The male player who refuses her her rights is no gentleman. Bathing, fishing and pitching rules and all other information can only be ob- tained at Hirsh's Ten Per Cent Clothing House, 72 Bank street, opposite the postoffice.
 We are the sleepless, restless hustlers and toilers for trade, and we will have it if we must give the clothing away.

REPUBLICAN CIVIL SERVICE.

Finding Fault With the Appointments
 of the Democratic Board of Road
 and Sewer Commissioners.
 X wild cry of rage has gone up in cer- tain quarters at the action of the boards of road and sewer commissioners in ap- pointing democrats to positions hereto fore held by republicans. Exception is taken especially to the appointment of George H. Byrnes as inspector of sewers on the ground that he is himself sewer contractor.
 The point would be we'll taken if Mir Byrnes upon behalf of the city. inspect ed the work done by himself, but such is not the case. As matter of fact the | only sewer belng built in the city by Contractor Byrnes is upon Pleasant street and that would have been com tions arisen. Over two years ago
 Mir Byrnes was awarded a con- tract to construct sewers in South Riverside and Pleasant streets. l The material fer the work upon the
 former street was brought upon the l ground and the contractor was about to proceed when an inj junction was served upon the city authorities restraining l them from constructing the proposed sewer. According to the terms of the contract it was thought thatthe Pleasant | South Riverside injunction was dissolved,
 but after waiting many months Mir TByrnes was allowed to proceed with the work on Pleasant street upon his sign 1 ing a paper releasing the city from all obligations in the South Riverside street matter. The work upon the sewer is progressing rapidly and the inspection is 1 being done by Jay Carpenter, good re- publican. who was placed i'll charge of the work by City Engineer Weld.
 l George II. Byrnes, the new inspector, 1 is n man of acknowledged ability. honest and temperate and q hard worker. He | is just the man for the position and the | city is to be congratulated upon securing his services. The two republican commissioners, who are worried so much over the appointment | of Mir Byrnes. did not attend the meeting at which the appointment was made, although they had received due notice.
 The discharge of Foreman Lyman of
 the street department and the appoint ment of William H. Hogan to the posi-
 ton is another bitter pill for the alleged swallow. The democratic members of the board are firm believers in home rule
 and Foreman Lyman being non-resi-
 dent, his head was the first to fall under the aX. The reflections that are being
 cast on Mir Hogan are unworthy of notice.
 He Is a man of education and ability
 with a good amount of hard sense. and
 without much doubt he will give the
 best of satisfaction. Like Inspector Byrnes MT Hogan is a democrat.

THE SACRED HEART CHURCH.

The Handsome Paintings and lnte-
 Opening tor Inspection Next Sun
 day.
 William Lamprect, the great church painter. has completed his work upon the interior of the church of the Sacred Heart and the carpenters will commence their work in a few days. The paintings of the twelve apostles, which adorn the arcade walls, are beautiful works of art. The pictures of Sr David and St Cecilia placed in the niches over the choir gallery are also well done and are much admired. The main painting and the one that required great deal of study is placed over the Chancel and rep resents the apparition of the Sacred Heart to blessed Margaret Mary Alaco- uue It is magnificent piece of work the equal of which cannot be found in any church in the state. The staging is being removed to-day and better view of the handsome work can then be ob- tained.
 The carpenters will now commence to put in the main boors, the railing around ary, also the wainscoting. It will take nearly two months for the carpenters. and over month to do the painting of the pews and the other work. The Rev Father Treanor Is well pleased at the way the work has been carried out and will give the parishioners an opportu- nifty to visit the interior next Sunday after the last mass.

Cha r m ed by n Snakes Gaze.

A remarkable case of snake-charming Is reported from Greshamville, Ga. The mother of little Belle Hart saw Ser child standing, with a stick in hand, stead fNstly gazing at a large coach-whip snake, both snake and child looking intently at each other, and neither moving an inch. The child was pulled away by her mother. when Belle. trembling from head to foot, began to cry. She explained that she had intended killing the snake, but it caught her eye" Try as she would and horror-stricken as she was she tried hard-she could not withdraw her eyes from the snake. and she feels that if she had not been taken away from the spot by her mother, she could not much longer have resisted an influence which seemed to urge her to advance to where the snake lay on the ground.-Savannah News

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Walsh and Horner have been released by the New Ravens; Spence has rendered his resignation as manager. and Bur dock has been appointed captain. Crooks. the heavy hitting second base man of the OlNahas. made four home runs of Maine, the St Paul twirler, the other day. and he added to this pile a single. Crooks is a good man to keen an eye on.
 The six days four-hours a-day walkir 2 match closed at New Britain Saturday night. the score at the finish being as follows: Herty 160 miles. Cartwright 152, Golden 14S, Connors 146. Hegelman 13S, Carlton 136, Burke 127, Kane l26 Young Daley, the Jersey City pitcher. is a good one. but his improvement would be very great if he could only be made to understand that there are seven men behind him. As it is he tries to strike out every man that comes to the | bat with disastrous results at times.
 Indianapolis presents the great base ball conundrum of the age. With a great infield, good outfield. fair batter ies and good management the team con. tinues to put up losing ball. Jerry Den- ny says they can beat any team in the league for six innings, but he can't ex. plaln how it is that so many victories are Snatchcd from them in the evening ot the game.

The Sun bright and Deer Lodge hines were play ing and at critical point in the game Staples gave man first base on balls which incensed Hall, who left the box and dispute ensued. Hall called tn. umpire a liar. when Staples drew knife and plunged it into Halls heart, killing him almost instantly. The knife wa: left in the murdered mans breast. Sta pies made his escape during the excite ment and has not yet been captured Both of the young men live near Sun bright and are highly connected ant were cousins.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
W. J. Souder in the Prisoners Per
 in the Superior Court To-Day.

W. J. SOuder In the Pr1sOner,s Pen
 in the Superior Court To-Day.
 w. J. Souder, who killed sausage ven- der John Calvin of this city, on Asylum street, Hartford. last winter by striking him on the head, it is supposed, with an open knife, occupied a position in the prisoners pen in the superior court room to-day when his trial commenced.
 The defense will undoubtedly claim that he was not accountable for what he did, as he was at the time an inmate of an inebriate asylum. The plea will probably be insanity.
 His mother has come on from Colum- bus, Ohio, and also the chief of police of that city to give their testimony in the case. Scully, the all-hot vender of this city, for whom Calvin was peddling the night he was murdered, has also been summoned as a witness.
