THE u

The freeze-out game which has beer
instituted against the Bonner Mercantile
Company of this city by a host of insur-
ance companies doing business in this
city and all over the Northwest, is at
tracing widespread attention because
OF the persistent, unfair and dishonest
methods which are being used to avoid
the payment of the loss which the Bon.
ner company sustained by the disastrous
conf1agration which occurred here on the
t~wenty-ninth of last September. No set
Element has yet been reached, and il isl
now probable that the courts will be rel
sorted to, in which event the Bonner peo-i
pie will beyond, doubt get the full
amount of their loss and damages
enough to make the average insurance.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Eight successive games in Chicago were won or lost on one run. The DEMOCRAT and American news boys played game of ball on the Pow der House" grounds this morning and of course the "Demmy's" won. The score was 9 to 20.
 keefe has held his opponents down to seven hits in the last two games and
 has struck out 9 men. His arm is all | right. AS ''Gil' Hatfield says it is won- derful how he thaws out in warm | weather.
 It seems more than likely that four of the best players of the Jersey Citys will
 be sold to Louisville, and that Manager Powers will have charge of them Lang, Daily, Hotford, and either O'Brien or Knowles are the men that are wanted. Fears are expressed that the Atlantic
 league may disband, but the local base
 ball men say they are unfounded. The
 Easton club was scheduled to drop out yesterday. The league Is inclined on this account to let Wilkesharre go, thus making six club league. It is stoutly denied that Jersey City will drop out. It may turn over some of its players to the Louisville club, but others will replace them and the club will play the season out.
 Edward Beechcr, the left fielder of the Wilkesbarres, belongs in Hartford, and would have been glad to play with the team hailing from the latter city, but Wilkesbarre held him in reserve and put high prica on him. Consequently he Is 'tcoal baron this season. He has mt shown much respect for Hartfords pit chers and has lined the ball out in five of the six games in which he has faced them. He secured fourteen hits in the five games with tota! of twenty five.
 Arthur upham, who has been doing an immense amount of fighting on pa- per of late, called at the Police Gazette office yesterday and loft the following challenge: In reply to the offer of James Quigley to meet me in Il 24-foot ring for $500 a side, 1 will arrange a match to box Quigley at catch weights. QueenSberry rules, no limit to the num- Der of rounds, for $500 side, or my packer will wager SG0O to Quigley's $500, the contest to be decided within 25O miles of Norwich in four or six weeks from signing articles If this suits Quig- ley will meet him any place he may name to sign articles, and will agree to the Police Gazette being final stakehold- er."

WORK OF THE POLICE.
Jo" Hntton and Tom Higgins on , Summer Nncation

Joe Hatton and Tom Higgins on d summer Vacation.
 Before Judge Bradstreet in the police court this morning Joseph Hatton and Thomas Higgins each pleaded guilty to a charge of breach of the peace. ilatton was still sutferirg from the effects of a fractured skull which was supplemented by long continued de- bauch. He refused to say anything about the occurrence Higgins said that he was first assaulted by Hatton while III bed and in his own defense struck the latter over the head with a board. Judge Bradstreet sentenced Higgins to Jail for four months and Hatton for sixty days, thirty of which was for breach of peace and the balance for drunkenness. Higgins has been confined in the lockup since June 8 waiting for trial.

He belongs to n gang of boys who make night hideous for the residents of Canal street and was arrested by Officer Reid last night while playing cards upon the stairs leading to the Blank Book manufactorv.

There Is No DOubt

That certain stores in each line of busi- ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perplexing question to many who are not already well posted is to know where to go and find goods marked at uniformly low prices. Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits, that is, they mark line of goods at really low prices while the balance of their stock remains marked at high prices. Of course the general public soon find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters for the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the papers never "materialize." Everybody says that our prices are the lowest. Ton want to. save money and we save it for you. Satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded.

SOLDIERS SEEING THE SIGHTS.

The Second Regiment Men Royalty
 Entertained in Rhode Island.
 PROVIDENCE, June 15.-The return of the Second regiment, C. N. G., from Silver Spring yesterday was delayed by the grounding of the steamer Elm City on account of the low tide, but on reach ing the city the line was formed with the staff of the First Light Infantry and Infantry Veterans and passed in review before Mayor Barker and the city off cials at City hall. The line passed up Broadway, on which wide avenue tino appearance was made, and on Dexter training ground dress parade was held. The companies formed in the following order Blues, Go A of Waterbury, Co E of Wallingford, Co of Meriden, Co H of Middletown, City Guards, Co G of Waterbury, Grays, Sarstields, Light Guards. Colonel Leavenworth and staff were on foot, refusing offers of horses, and Lieutenant Seers of the artillery was the only man who rode. In the pro- cession there were in all just 300 men. The visiting regiment then returned to the steamer for supper. The Connecti- cut visitors were entertained during the evening at the armory of the First Light Infantry and at midnight their steamer got under way to Newport. where they made a short stay Saturday morning. Newport was reached at 2:3O a. m., and the visitors Were received by delega- tion of the Newport artillery. The New port hosts will give the regiment royal time until eleven o'clock when the Elm City will leave for home. The trip cannot but be pleasant and the pilgrims will reach New Haven at about eight o'clock in the evening in season to enable the out of town companies to take trains for home
