NEW YoRK, April ll-Thorwald Egidivs,
son Of the Norwegian consul at Amsterdam,
was found dead at Morello's hotel, West
Twenty street He was lying on the bed
with his knees drawn up AMI his hands
clinched. Gas was escaping from three jets
and a large pipe which supplied a gas CRATE
The windows were tightly closed and it was
evident that it was case of suicide Egidius
had on IA dress suit, minus the coat, which lay
beside him. On the table and floor were
scraps OF letters written in his native language.
The hotel people say that Egidius received
two letters Tuesday They We're from Ans
terdam, and the news that they contained
seemed to prey on the suicides mind. 1t is
thought be was short Of funds and that the
letters contained a refusal from his father to
make any further advances He was behind

The Atlantic Association Looks With
 Longing Eyes Toward Waterbury.
 The Atlantic association is casting about for good reliable base ball city, one that does not rave, rant or run down at the heel, to take the place of Norwalk in the league, and has hit upon Water bury as being about the right size and quality.
 The New Haven Register says: eff a Connecticut club is to be chosen, Water bury is preferable to the others. The town has always had a good base ball patronage and the amateur games there this season have been largely attended, and there is no doubt that club in that city would be an advantage to the league"
 The News also favors this city and says: ''If a Connecticut club is to be chosen Waterbury is preferable to the others. Waterbury people are great admirers of the national game and a team in that city would be supported"
 It is so near the seasons end that it is not at all probable that Waterbury will take a hand in the sport. About next season, however, we will be ready. By placing team in this city and bearing the expense the association would fiji out its broken schedule and pave the way for a strong team here in 1890.

WILL MAKE ANOTHER FIGHT.

A Last Effort Under Way to Save
 South Riverside Street.
 Attorney E. F. Cole has been retained by property owners of South Riverside street, Railroad Hill street and Wagner alley, who feel aggrieved at the action of the court in denying them the use, rights and privileges of South Riverside street. They object to the new layout, which will make the two roads cross the New York & New England railroad at right angles. Judge Cole has decided preached by reporter had nothing to say except that himself and his clients would attend the next meeting in a body to assert their rights.
 In the meantime the city authorities are working with great deliberation towards bringing about the changes or dered by Judge Andrews. Yesterday City Sheriff John w. Mcdonald served notice upon the owners of the condemn ed property to cause the removal of such buildings or parts of buildings and fen ces as come within the proposed street line, on or before the first day of No- vember. Whether or not they will obey the orders is a matter of conjecture.
 Nearly all of the property owners have appealed from the action of the council in relation to benefits and dam ages arising from the changes ordered, Holmes, Booth & Haydens being among the number. A year or more ago when the agitation was at its height it was given out that Holmes, Booth & Hayden would pay S1O,O00 for the property that would revert to them in the event of South Riverside street being closed or its layout changed. Now they object to paying S2, ,636 the actual amount assessed by the court of common council.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Louisville base bali managers have signed Flanagan, formerly of the Worcesters and Wilkesbarres. to play first base.
 Say is Hartfords leading three-base hitter, having made eight. John Smith is Hartford's leading batter. Percen- tage 352 total .521.
 In the series just finished between Boston and New York, the Hub team scored 1O3 runs to the Giants S4. Bostons batting average was: Singles, .256; totals .369; New Yorks: singles, 2S3; totals. 1851. Boston earned 37 runs to New York's 34, and stole 34 bases to 31. The fielding record of the two clubs is: Bos- ton, .S6l; New York .811. This includes all battery errors.
 Roger Connor did some great work at first, which utterly escaped the attention of the spectators. Those who go to see ball games in New York, however, are so used to the steady, reliable play of Roger that they take it as a matter of course. When he digs a hot throw up out of the dirt with his big paw or pulls down high one with one hand, people look at the applauding countryman with a pitying glance, which says: "What are you applauding for he always does that. ."-N. Y. World.
 The Giants have twelve more games to play at home and close the season with twenty away from home. If Boston should win nineteen out of the thirty five they have to play and the Giants twentyfour of thirty-three, the final tally would be New York S6-47, Boston 92-51. To carry out this schedule New York should win four out of five from Washington, two out of three from Phil adelnhia fOur O1t of Savan from, Pitts. burg, five out of six from Indianapolis, five out of six from Cleveland and four out of seven from Chicago. This is a big contract, but the Giants must get twenty-four of these games unless Bos- ton falls down.
