WORLD OF SPORTS.

Guinasso. Lowell's catcher, is the only Italian professional in the country.
 Dan Shannon, of Bridgeport, is play ing good game at second base for Louisville.
 President Soden announces that John Morrill, and Samuel Wise of the Boston base ball team have been released to the Washington club.
 Keefe and Ewing saw Mutrie yester. day. but neither of them signed, though it was expected that Ewing would catch Welch in this afternoons game with Brooklyn.
 There is great dissatisfaction in Boston over the sale to Washington of Morrill,, and many of the ball cranks are threat ening to boycott the game. It is pre- dicted, however, that when the umpire calls game they will be found in the grand stand or on the bleaching boards just the same. , It is probable that both Quirk and Theison will sign with the Norwalk ball nine, and play there, unless something better offers. Norwalks nine has an ex- cellent patronage, and can afford better salaries than the Resolutes will in all probability be able to make by their best efforts. The departure of Quirk and Thiesen will take away two of the best men in the Resolutes, but the latter still have strong team, with Snow and Gardner as a battery.

AN ERROR CORRECTED,
A New Haven Paper Sets the Hous-

A New Haven Paper Sets the HouS-
 atomic Right.
 We received yesterday note from Professor Simeon E. Baldwin, attorney for the Housatonic Railroad company, in which he said: ''In your issue of Wednesday occurred reference to the bonds recently issued by the Housatonic Railroad company in which you intimate that they were taken or negotiated by Messrs Drexel, Morgan & Go, and that they required collateral, security from parties whom you describe as the Bost- wick syndicate, and in which you refer to the present or possible situation of the Housatonic Railroad company in regard 10 these bonds as being desperate one. :" Professor Baldwin characterized these statements as untrue and ibellous, and in behalf of the railroad company requested their retraction.
 NO newspaper can escape occasionally making errors of statement. and none is more ready than the Journal and Courier to correct them when they chance to occur. The statements in question were made in our legislative report, and we have made such inquiry as to satisfy us that our reporter was in error. Messrs Drexel, Morgan & Go had nothing to do with the negotiation of the Housatonic railroads bonds. The whole issue was taken by Messrs F. H. Prince & Go, of Boston, and Messrs Coffin & Stanton, of New York, we'll known banking houses in those cities. No collateral security of any kind (outside of the mortgage of the road) was ever given for the bonds by any party. nor were any of them ever pledged by the company in any way, all having been sold outright at par and interest to these bankers, and having now been sold by them on the market at handsome premium.
 We regret the mistake into which our reporter fell in making the statements in question and the inadvertence by which they came to be published. HI. Journal and Courier

Faust,

Faust, which will be given at Jacoues opera house on Monday evening, hal made a big hit in the west where it has played to overflowing houses. Lewis Morrison, who is the 'sMocking Devil. , is said to play the part with wonderful energy and incisiveness. Miss Rosabe Morrison, the Marguerite, makes an excellent foil to his efforts. The scenic effects are said to be remarkably fine Seats are now on sale.
 Adonis.
 Henry E. Dixey has made a hit as Adonis that has given him reputation in two hemispheres. The burlesoue nightmare in which he appears has been described as a sort of auriole of all sorts of spectacular, variety, song, dance, bal let, and general and always laughable C nonsense. It has no plot. It is not a story with moral. It is merely me. dium to display the wonderful talents ot Dixey, to make the public laugh and grow fat and realize that there is some enjoyment to make life worth living. Peo. pie who like fun will find it in Adonis, and we believe there are enough of such people in Waterbury to fill Jacques opera house to overfowing next Thurs day night.

COAL THAT WOULD NOT BURN.
The Pomperang Valley Mine Failed

The Pomperang Valley Mine Failed
 to Pan Out as Expected.
 Speaking of the mining operations which have been going on under the di- rection of several Waterbury capitalists for several months Southbury cores pondent says:
 Work ceased for good in the region of the oil works here last week. It has turned out as so many operations of this kind in Connecticut have during the past fifty years. The people of this state have been throwing good money after bad in their futile attempts to wrest mineral riches from beneath its soil for over two generations, and as in this case, without adequate return for the outlay of money in prosecuting these at tempts. It would seem that people would some day believe what the best authorities say, that while Connecticut in spots shows the geologic Formations of mineral region, yet nowhere be- meath its surface will be found mineral wealth in paying quantities.
 The cost of this attempt will fall not far from $10 ,OO0; they have pierced the earth to the depth of 3 900 feet, passed through all the kinds of strata found in the coal and oil regions of Pennsylvania, but what can be shown for it? They found the water which came up through the drill hole to have an oleaginous scum like oil. fit proves to be what is called rock oil a product of the rusting of metallic stone, the like of which is found Tn anyEwamp of clay formationa True, they brought to the surface what was in appearance coal of the best quail ity. Placed side by side with the "black diamond of the Pennsylvania brand it was every way similar, But it would not burn. Experts said it lacked sul- phur, component with the carbon in bona-fide coal. They say further that nature made this article, ~the sample Southbury coal, but neglected to com plete the alchemic operation with sul- phur.

Danbury Man and a Waterbury Stove.
 A prominent Danbury man is just now wondering how many dimes it would take to keep the mouth of Waterbury street urchin closed for an hour. He tried it just long enough to board train yesterday afternoon, and he found it necessary to borrow enough to pay his fare home.
 It seems that the citizen in question stood with his $75 nut-brown overcoat against the red hot stove in the waiting room of the Waterbury passenger sta tion half hour, wondering all the while what fellow traveller was fool enough to allow his clothes to burn up and not know it, stretching his neck in every di- rectlon to find that unfortunate individ- ual, until the boy cried out;

ATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT SATURDAY. APRIL, 6 1sse
IN OUR NEW QUARTERS.

The DEMOCRAT is now comfortably housed in it's new quarters in Grannis block at No 153 South Main street where we have increased facilities for catering to our growing business and where we hope tobe able to give still better satisfac- tion to the patrons of our job printing department.
 During the sixteen months of its life as daily the DEMOCRAT has met with marked success, and it feels confident that it has bright and prosperous fu- ture before it. It has attained a position and an influence in the community not second to it's contemporaries of an older growth. Its position on matters affect ing the interest of the community has been invariably right, and when it has raised its voice in any particular direc- tion it has been heard with respect and This has been shown particularly in the passage of an ordinance prohibiting pol icy playing which the DEMOCRAT alone of the local papers urged on the city fathers, and in the settlement of the new water supply question, on which we took ground that it was the duty of the city to go slow and to adopt no SUD- ply until the various sources had been thoroughly and disinterestedly investi- gated. We propose in the future to steer the same course. The interest of Waterbury and its people will be our first care, and the dissemination of dem ocratic principles our earnest and un- ceasing occupation. In our purpose we bespeak the support of constantly growing patronage which we propose always to serve with as much care and attention as we have shown in the past.
 We most cordially invite all the people of Waterbury to visit us in our new quarters, to put their names on our sub scription books, to bring us in their job printing and to favor us with their ad- vertising patronage. They will find us at 153 South Main street where they will always find hearty and royal welcome and be sure of courteous attention and careful treatment.

 desire to acquaint your readers with an evil that has come under my notice namely The employment of union sol dlers. Now Waterbury has several o1 these deserving patriots starving in its midst for want of work, whilst convicts from foreign lands are eagerly sought these men allowed to roam our streets l would like to know can the G. A. R, find some work for these poor men.
 Respectfully yours,
