Tricked.

About forty years ago, there lived in
named Wood and Osborne, respectively.
They were near neighbors, but inveter-
ate enemies;' and il is said that they
lived almost in sight Of each other for
fourteen years without speaking to each
other. Wood one day went ont with q
mattox to dig up half q dozen stumps
that had never yet been removed from
his meadow; but finding it pretty hard
work, and, moreover, not being very
fond of work, he gave it mp, and re-
turned to the house. On the way, it
occurred to him that by q cunning de-.
vice he might induce his unfriendly
neighbor to uproot the little annoyances.
Actingon . bright idea that occurred to
him, he entered his house, got his writ
ing materials, and in q disguised hand,
wrote:

Mr. Wood sealed this bit of fiction,
addressed II to himself, and when night
came crept stealthily to Osborne,s door,
opened il . little, tossed the letter in
and ran away as though Satan were
after him. On reaching home. he re-
posed sweetly till morning. When. he

Mrs. PLuNKErr, the Superintendent
of the House of Mercy, o hospital on
the English cottage plan, in fashiona-
BILE Pittsfeld, Mass, has given an ex-
ample of q mothers devotion too COM
plete to pass unnoticed. Her son, a
promising young man, just ready to en-
ter q medical school, was stricken with
q disease that left him blind. He was
unwilling to resign himself to idleness,
and his mother went into the classroom
with him, making herself his eyes. The
textbooks on anatomy, physiology,
chemistry and materia medica she went
through with him, reading each days
portion over four times aloud to he sure
that it was thoroughly comprehended.
Last spring the young doctor graduated
with honors, and will devote himself to
heart and lung diseases, specialties in
which sight has comparatively little
play. Mrs. Plunket is a serene-faced
woman of 60 who is an intimate friend
of Miss Dawes, the daughter os the Sen
ator.

POLO.

Who Is the New Manf-A Hint That He Is Dickey Pierce. Some of the cranks who are interested in
 polo are already speculating as to who the now man is that the New Ravens will have when the season opens November 1. No body seems to know who he is, butas one of the management has given 1t out that he is pennant player, the COURIER makes guess that he is Dickey Pierce of the Bridgeports. The official call for the annual meeting of the New England Association of Polo clubs has been sent out to the members of the as- sociation. rhe meeting will be held at the Elliot house in New Haven, Thursday after- noon, September 10, at o'clock. It is doubtful whether the managers of the old Massachusetts league will be present, as polo up that way has temporarily gone to smash through their manipulations. The principal business of the meeting will ba the election of officers and directors. It is probable that the annual meeting of the Interstate league will be held on the
 same day, as Secretary Macdonald has been requested to cali it, Arrangements will then be made for the opening of the coming sea son.
 Massachusetts managers have this year for warded no reserve list, and this action on their part annuls the force of all contracts they may hold. The constitution provides that on or before the first of each May, the reesrve list must be forwarded to the secre- tary of the association. This has not been done by the old Massachusetts managers, and they can therefore hold none of their men. The reserve list of the Interstate league is as follows:
 Bridgeport -Menard, Smith, Pierce, Williams Fraser and Conway
 New Haven-Connors. Newcombe, Hill. Phelan, Reed and Sword.
 Hartford-Cotter, SeaIy, Smith. Sullivan, Mic Carthy and Turnbull
 Meriden-Cunningham, Pierce, Mckay, Curley, Hannaford Smith.

FLASHED WITH A RAZOR.

An Italian Named Joseph Frank Is
 Severely Cut In the Italian Row on
 Factory Street Last Evontng-The
 Weapon a Razor-The Assa1lant
 Arrested-The Prompt Work sf the
 Police.
 A serious cutting affray took place on Fac. tory street last evening about o'clock. An Italian named Joseph Frank was severely cut and slashed about the face. He was taken to the hospital.
 The house No. Factory street is occupied as a tenement and boarding house. The greater part of the inmates are Italians, but there are one or two Irish families living in the house.
 In one room of this building a number of Italians, among whom were Joseph Frank
 and John Deanetto, were playing cards last evening. All at once about o'clock quar- rel arose between the men about ths game. Frank and Dennetto clinched and one of the other Italians attempted to push them apart. As he did 80 Frank went through the window of the room into the back yard.
 Dennetto started out to find him and went down the steps of the house into the yard. Just after he reached the ground Frank yuMpcu upon Qlm auu OoIAh0hSoA " oonI him over the head with club. Dennetto drew razor and slashed at Frank, cutting him about the face and head badly. The wounds bled copiously. He then ran of, throwing away the gory razor and his pipe aa he ran. These were found by the people. Frank lay upon the ground and yelled "mur- der." He was sent to the hospital. Word was sent to police headquarters and all the officers cautioned to look out for any Italian who acted euspiciously. The name of the assailant at this time was not known. Officer Shields was sent to the dock te watch the boat and Officer Bissell was on tht ! lookout at the depot. About 10:15 o'clock Officer Bissell arrested suspicious looking | Italian at the depot just as he was purchas' ! ing ticket for New York. At the police office he gave his name as Michael Viola, and said he saw the fight but had nothing ! to do with it. Lieutenant Wrinn asked hin | if he had his pipe with him. Upon hi
 searching his pockets for it it was not forth { coming The lieutenant took up the pips which was found in the yard and asked hin | if that was his. He immediately recognized
 1t. Later he confessed the cutting and gav his right name as John Dennetto. The razo ! was without a handle, and had an edge lik
 @ saw. The other Italian who participated in the row is wanted. The only eye wit
 nesses were young fellow named Michae Kelly and man named McDermott. Tn
 police deserve great credit for their promp
 and efficient work.
 At the hospital at late hour Frank wa pronounced to be little better. He wa
 was greatly exhausted by the loss of so muc ! blood.

NEARING COMPILATION.

The Grace M. R. Church to be Ready
 for occupancy in About Two Weeks-
 The Deaicasion-Notables Who arc to .OmciaSe-A Cost of About $46s0OO-A
 Beautiful KdInce.
 Grace Methodist Episcopal church, the new Methodist church on Howard avenue, corner of Portsea street, is now very nearly completed. It is a cosy brick church that sdorns this corner and one which is credit to Methodism and the oity. An inscription on the corner stone gives the church name "Grace M. E. Church." The church is not vet finished. and workmen are busily en- engaged in trying to get everything finished in less than two weeks time.
 The building is certainly an ornament to that section of the oity. It has all the mod ern improvements, and the architecture on the outside is of an unique design. There are two main entrances, one on Howard ave- nue, the other on Portsea street. On the Portsea street side one passes through sort of corridor, entirely enclosed with brick ex- cept two large openings on the east side in the shape of half circle. At each entrance is small vestibule, one door leading into the church proper, the other into the Sun-
  maple, cherry and oak. The seats face to- ward the south, or in the direction of Oyster Point. Around the pulpit is small railing, and to the right of the organ Is the pastors study, the entrance into 1t being from How ard avenue. The organ is back of the pull. pit. It is fine one and cost $3,C00.
 The Sunday school room Is on the Portsea street side, and is out off from the church by sliding doors. On each side of the II alI fOv | the classes. As you enter each vestibule | there Is stairway which leads to two tiers | of class rooms upstairs, something on the same plan as at the United church chapel | The church Is as neat and cosy one as car
 be found in the city, and the former George
 street Methodist congregation should bt proud of their effects in building it. Tht
 audience room is 80 by 40 feet and will com | fortably seat l50 persons, and with the Sun day school room sliding division doors throwr open, there is seating room for an audieno, | of 600 persons, all within easy speaking dis tance from the pulpit. The ceiling and wall, | are decorated in light cream color, and tn, | windows are of cathedral glass Ewing sof | pleasing light.
 The dedicatory exercises will be deeply in, | teresting. The gifted Rsv. Dr. Buckley will preach h the morning, Bishop Goodsell 1T the afternoon, and in the evening Rev. B. I Ives of the Central New York oonferens' will make one of his famous addresses. H,
 has ofAsiated at more church dedicationI
 than any other man in the Methodist de
 nomination in the country. It is not ye
 known positively how many of the .ex-pastor | will be present, but the list will be we'll rep
 resented. The pastor, Rev. MT. Ooote, ha
 been indefatigable in his work since his con
 nection with the church and last week wa
 suffering somewhat from malaria occasionet
 by overwork in connection with his arduou
 duties, but is now nearly recovered. Tn
 cost of the church edifce when complet
 will be about $45, ,000, of which over s25, ,0o | is already raised.

 There were no more cases of diphtheria re- ported at the Strstford Home yesterday, and 1t is believed that the epidemic has reached its climax. Of the ten patients eight are now eonvalescent and the other two are not con- sidered to be dangerously i'll. Mrs. Phelps, the mstron of the home, has left temporarily and her position Is being filled by Mrs. Pritohard, the matron of the Day Nursery of New Haven. Mrs. Phelps retirement was necessary on account of her health. No progress has been made upon the temporary building, as the weather is unfsvorable. It is doubtful if the location selected, Clapboard hill, can be utilized, as attempts to secure water by boring have proved futile sad water is a necessity which cannot be dispensed with. The county commissioners visited the home yesterday morning and were satisfied that all necessary precautions were taken against the spreading of the disease.
