The Outward Symbols.

The Episcopal bishop of Iowa, Perry by name, who is summering in Litchtield, kindly preached in Watertown last Sun day. His sermon does not appear to have impressed his hearers but his dress did, for he wore the scarlet hood of the honor ary D. D. degree conferred upon him last year by Oxford University, England, of which he is also an NJ. A., and a beautiful pectoral cross as the insignia of his office Hartford Post.
 Bishop Perry was formerly rector of the Episcopal church of Litchfeld. He is favored with rich wife whose diamonds are so brilliant as we'll as numerous as to at tract marked attention throughout Iowa, for she always travels with her husband, there being no children to detain her in Davenport. The bishop is famous for his frequent visits to England and enjoys commenting to his clergy his experiences with ''the lords" In private he dresses like an English bishop except as to his hat, but this part of an English bishops uni form he dons as soon as he steps on board a steamer at New York.

A coNsrABLE,s LIFE IN PERIL.
Thomas Ryan Threatens to Let Day.


 light Through M. J. I.rzezinski.
 Constable M J. Brzezinski had nar- row escape from being shot yesterday afternoon by Thomas Ryan, Hopeviile farmer, against whom he had been given an execution to serve a judgment ot s22 and costs The constable saw Mir Ryan was terribly in earnest and returned to hls office without serving the execution after promising to return in the morning with achievements. MT Ryan at once con- sulted.- Attorney Root, who, after hearing the facts in the case, told his client he would have been justified i'll shooting the constable if he laid hands on his property. This morning Judge Bradstreet granted an injunction restraining Brzezinski from levying the execution. -..-.
 The case is one with history and dates back more than five years. The plaintiff, Thomas Ryan, in 1884 became indebted to Mrs Honora McGrath to the amount of $22. To offset the claim he carted stone, so he alleges, for more than the amount of the bill. In July, 1884, Attorney Aretas w.. Thomas brought suit against Ryan for the amount of the bill, the writ being return able before Justice H. I, Boughton July 29, 1884. According to the records on hle the case was adjourned for one week ard that was the last Mr Ryan heard of it until yesterday when Constable Brzezlnsk1 tried to take his horse.
 Attorney Root says hs |ill make some of the lawyers connected with the case dance before he gets through with it and it does seem as though he has all the law OF his side. Justice H. I. Boughton never gave judgment for the plaintiff, which fact he probably forgot when the papers were presented to him yesterday to add the costs by Attorney Donahne, and innocently enough he signed the papers allowing the plaintiffs $22 and costs, and b.t for the good hard sense of MT Ryan in threatening to let daylight through the constable he would have been many dollars out Of pocket.

The New State Map.

The typographical survey of the state nnder the immediate direction of Major Powell of the United States geological stir vey has already begun, the state being di- yided into p districts, The work is now being carried on in Litchfeld county, and some important points regarding height of the hills has been settled. The highes land in Connecticut is Bear mountain, in Salisbury, 2,355 feet above tidewater. Other heights range from 1,900 to 2,QQl feet; but outside of Salisbury the highest point, probably, is Mohawk mountain in Cornwall, which the Hartford Times de- p.sres is about HOO feet; though Norfolk and Goshen come close to it. The Hill hurst at Norfolk stands on an eleya tion of 1,40O feet. It is expected that half of the state will be completed by Thanksgiving, and then the otfice-work for the winter will be taken up.

 New Haven and Worcester are the only two cities in the Atlantic league which are not losing money. The trouble is large salaries. Several of the clubs are paying their men $2 ,OOO, and it is only by good audiences that New Haven and Wor- cester are on their feet.
 All the league clubs but New York hays waived claim on Pitcher Morris ef the Pittsburgs and he was to have been sold or | released internationally to-day tn. club and patrons having soured on him, but to- day Morris went to President Nimick and made this proposition: To be laid off for one month without pay. at the end of which time to pitch three games, to prove that he has regained his old-time form; that he is in business, and even if released or sold, he would not leave Pittsburg. His proposition was accepted and he was given months rest without pay. The fight for the middle weight cham pionship between the present champion Jack Dempsey ,and George LaBlanche, the Marine, will take place next month in the California Athletic club. It will be a great fight and much harder one, many good judges of fighting think, than the last battle between these men at Larch- mont, which Dempsey won in thirteen rounds. Up to this battle LaBlanche's fighting career had been march of triumph. It WAS the Marines first fight with skin gloves and Dempsey battered his head and face until human nature could stand it no longer The Marines friends are sure that with mittens he can whip Dempsey. LaBlanche has been looking for another fight with Dempsey since that battle.

PROBABLY A MURDER.
A Dying Man Says He Received Hi
 Injuries in NauHatuck Salool

A Dying Man Says He Received His
 Injuries in 0 Naugatuck Saloon
 July 4.
 The mystery surrounding the death of the man, Heslip, who was found dead in Washington last week is still unsolved. Death resulted from fractured skull, and there is not much doubt that the injuries were received in drunken fight. Heslip appeared in Winsted on the morning of July 5, with his head bandaged up and his face badly battered. He said he had been assaulted with a heavy stick in Naugatuck. The fol lowing day he was found near the residence of Officer Wyant of Washington in dazed condition. He was given a nights shelter in the corn house and raved considerably. In the morning he was quiet and before leaving he said he received hls injuries in Winsted saloon. MT Wyant thought nothing of the affair until he heard of the mans death. The Winsted saloon keeper denies that the man received his fatal injuries in his sa- loon and it is almost certain that the fight occurred in Naugatuck. A man answer ing the description of Heslip was drunk on the evening of July and left town the next morning with his head bandaged. There is no question but that crime has been committed aha s tharough inYesti- gation should be made

New LondonerS Relieve Mcclellan Is
 Training to Fight Nelson.
 The New London Telegraph is all worked up over the turn matters have taken in re- gard to the Nelson Mcclellan fight and says:
 The expected fight between Jimmy Nell son of this city and Farmer Mcclellan of Waterbury is off for the present. Articles were signed and everything was ready for the match to come off September 2Oth check for $10O was forwarded to gen tleman of Waterbury as guarantee of Nelson's honesty of purpose that he would fight on the date named or forfeit that amount. This was done in the face of the fact that the Waterbury people had not de- posited any money to bind Mcclellan to like issue when the articles were signed. The New London men are not prepared to believe that the condition of affairs in re- gard to Mcclellan is exactly as set forth in the above communication. It is Nel- sons opinion that the Waterbury people are trying to spring another ten-day racket on him and that instead of Mcclellan being about to get married, they are getting him | in as good condition for a fight as possible l and take this method of throwing Nelson off his guard. He has it on pretty good authority that Mcclellan has been seen in Bridgeport in training and has been ad- Ylsed that any statement otherwise was not to be relied upon. The return of the money, however, has broken the agreement and knocked out the signed articles: Nelson's packers were in correspondence with Bob Drew, the noted New York trainer, who was to ar rive here on Monday morning, taka charge or Nelson and put him through rigid course of training for the coming fight. Nelson is now determined that any future overtures with Mcclellan or his represen- tatives will have to be made upon entirely new articles af agreepaans;whlch will spec neighborhood of New London, Nelson guaranteeing Mcclellan the same sized purse as was guaranteed in Waterbury Anyhow, it is only right that McClellan should come here, Nalsan having accom- modated him with visit to Waterbury in the recent engagement.

THE WRECK AT MERiDEN.
Deputy Coroner Pond Has Completed
 His Inquiry.

His Inquiry.
 Deputy Coroner Pond las completed his investigation of the accident which oc- cured on the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River railroad about a week ago. Yesterday he prepared his finding in the case and gave it to State Attorney Doolittle. What the report contains MT Pond refuses to say until the states attor- ney has examined it. It has been given out by the railroad company that the acci- dent was caused by spiking the switch in such manner that it did not shut tightly which threw the wheel off the track and the train was derailed. A spike was shown as evidence of the attempt to wreck the train. The work was alleged to have been done by tramps.
 Coroner Pond has made a careful inves- tigation of the accident, and while he does not say that the train was derailed by a spiked switch! he has reasons , for believ- tiv wise.

A New Catholic Parish.

A matter in which all New Haven Catho- lies are interested is the proposed estab lishment of new Catholic parish in New Haven. It was expected that Bishop Me Mahon would consult with his pastors on this subject during their annual retreat at Brighton,:s Mass, this week. Ths establish ment of a. new parish has been talked of for manyiyears, but it seems probable that something decisive and practical is soon to take place. The need of another church and parish is indisputable.
