Mitchell hes beer the victor In dozen battles in England and has fought other Americans besides Sullivan, iu every In stance proving himself 0 remarkably clever fellow with his "dukes." It Is remarked that Mitchell, who Is moro like theoiogi- cal student than a boxer, Is the only man
 who gave Sullivan a straight knock down
 blow, an event that caused something akin
 to aconsternation when they met at Madison Square Garden. Donovan has brilliant record as hard fighter and Is very
 scientific boxer. He has boon trainer and instructor of late years and has many of the best known brokers and young busl- ness men of New York among his pupils. Jake Barnet Is Q noted sporting man of Boston and was the treasurer Of the Suil1-
 van Combination during its tour through England. Jack Ashton, Is Providence, R. l., boy, and hes beeu Sullivan's princi- | pal trainer for several years and his com panion in his tours abroad.

MORTALITY FOR JUNE.
The Death Rate Low For This Season
 of the Year.

The Death Rate Low For This Season
 of the Year.
 The total number of deaths during the month of June was 88, an increase of foul over the corresponding month of last year. Of the deaths were 23 males and 15 fe- males. The cause of death were: Measles 1, whooping cough 5, jaundice 1, pleurisy 1, diarrh9al diseases 4, rheumatism 3, phthisis 6, apoplexy 2, convulsions 1, old age l, heart disease 2, bronchitis 3, all other causes 9. The mortality was largest among children, there being twenty deaths of children under five years of age. Ac cording to the number of deaths, the death rate of Waterbury is placed at 13.4 per thousand. The chances are that the mortality amongst infants will be very large this month. A number of cases o1 cholera infantum have been reported and there have already been few deaths from that disease.

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET.

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET. William Neville Found Not Guilty of
 Horse Stealing Judge Bradstreeu's
 Opinion of n Witness for the Pros
 ecutiOn.
 William Neville, accused of stealing horse belonging to George F. Smith, valued at $1OO, was this morning acquitted by Judge Bradstreet, after q painfully slow examination of witnesses by Attorney Lowe, who appeared for Neville, and Attorney Root, who conducted the prosecu- tion. In rendering his decision Judge Bradstreet intimated that at least one of the witnesses for the defense committed perjury.
 The case was an interesting one, but it was plain that there was something behind the whole thing that did not come cut in the trial. Last Monday Charles Smith, who conducts the livery stable in the rear of J. M. Burrall's store for his father, left town, taking with him number of the best horses and harnesses. About the same timc an employe at the stable named Curtiss went off with another of the hors 6. Hard stories were in circulate n employe at the stable named Daniel Gleason, fearing that the barn would be attached, took the horse which has caused SO much trouble to Nevi!le's blacksmith shop, and asked the latter to keep the an imal until Smith returned.
 The elder Smith, who resides in Wood bury, hearing of the trouble, came to town, and going to Neville demanded the ho,se. Neville said he had bought the mare from Charles Smith and refused to give up the property. He did not know Smith and believed him to be q constable or sheriff When he learned the true cto nf af Hair hn Ot ho horse and offered 10 pay half the costs. Smith was not satisfied and caused his ar rest
 Gleason, the principal witness for the prosecution, denied the story told by Neville, saying that he brought the horse to the blacksmith shop to be shod and that when he returned for the animal two hours later Neville refused to give her up Judge Bradstreet said that it was evident that Gleason had told Neville some of the family secrets of Charles Smith, which he naturally was sorry for and which intiu- enced his testimony, and Neville was found not guilty.

MANY MORE YEARS TO SERVE
An Escaped Massachusetts prisonc
 Eound in New IInYan

An Escaped Massachusetts Prisoner
 Found in Now Haven.
 A few months ago Henry Milo, a trusted prisoner who was allowed the freedom of the office of the jail at Salem, Mass, took the cell keys and released four other pris- oners. After st, aling q watch and $500 from the safe in the office they fled and escaped. Only one of the four whom Milo released has been recaptured and he has been sentenced to five years imprison- ment for jail breaking. A few days ago Milo was identified ut the county jail in New Haven by Jailer Hathaway. Milo is now awaiting trans portation to Wethersfeld to serve five years for burglary in Meriden. On his re- lease from the Connecticut prison he will be taken to Salem to serve three years more for burglary and probably five years ad- ditional for jail breaking. Through the assistance of Captain Beardsley, Jailer Hathaway has recovered the stolen watch l which the Salem prisoner to whom it be- longed had asserted was worth $50, but which was not worth over $3. Milo has sold it to another prisoner at the jail for

A Band of Incendiaries Causing De-
 struction in theIIattlng City.
 No less than five fires occurred in Dan bury within thirty hours, between. Friday night and yesterday morning. Between the hours of one and six a. m. yesterday there were four fires, all of incendiary origin.
 The first fire at one o'clock, was discov- cred in Charles Chichesters barn. The fire department arrived ill time to prevent serious loss. The second alarm was at 2:30. This time Thomas Reagan's barn with three horses, ten tons of hay and sev- eral wagons were destroyed; loss about $6, ,0O0. At o'clock Andrew Aliens barn with contents was destroyed. Luckily there was no live stock in the structure and the loss is nominal. The fourth and last fire was barn near Penfeld's ware house at o'clock. At this place as in the | case of the first fire the department extin- guished the flames in their incipiency. The excitement has been intense since Saturday. A citizens committee offers a reward of $1 ,OO0 for conviction or infol- | nation. Bremen are constantly on the alert. Fires are hourly expected.

c sr1iff. In fighting the latter at Mime Rpolis, Sullivan struck him so hard on the head that he broke his own wrist and the contest was declared a draw. His encoun- ter with Charley Mitchell, was fought in a 2A-foot ring with bare knuckles near Chan tilly, Franco After 39 rounds a draw was declared.
 Jake Kilrain Is visibly trifie taller than tho Boston pugilist and has . longer reach; but he Is less muscular. He Is splendid wrestler and made this accomplishment tell In many of his encounters. Added to this he Is what tho fighting fraternity call a ''tactician." Sullivan Is one of the finest all around scientific boxers that ever put up bare asts in the ring; strong, muscular, active as Q panther and he can leap either forward or backward when fighting In Q way that frequently demoralizes an oppo- nent. In his encounters with Mitchell, he was at @ disadvantage whenever the latter closed, as NAtcheN Is Q skilled wrestler, like Kilrain. Kilrain's chest measurement Is 42 inches, biceps 10 inches. He Is @ native of Greenport, Columbia County, N. Y, whore he first saw the light on February 8, 1889. He worked as . boy m Q rolling mill Dwhere he had ample opportunities for developing tho flstic ardor. He fought successively and successfully Jack Daley, Jem Drisool, Dan Dwyer and Dennis Roach. In 1883 he took to rowing but soon re-entered the field of pugilism and fought some very good mon, including Harry Allen. whom he whipped in . single round, George Godfrey, the colored champion who cried quits at the third round, and Jim Goode who fought to 1 . draw, Kilrain having tho best of the bat | tle.
 His fret aght of real consequence was with Charley Mitchell whom he fought to Araw In Boston. Then he had a similar experience with Mike Cleary In New YsrAx. Cleary being 60 weak when the draw was announced that he could hardly seand. A battle with Jake Burke was stopped by the police. After this Kilrain had many sdversaries, including William ShleR the "Prussian," George Fryer an English fighter, Jerry Murphy of Bangor, Masne, a g1ant whom Kilrain almost killed in the ring, Jem MoGlynn, Frank Herald, who dropped out in ono short round, Jack Ash ton, Joe Lannon, and others. On Decem- bsr l0. 1881, he net Jem Smith, tho cham pion of England, and fought for the belt and tho championship of tho world, at Isle 6t Pierre, France. The men ham.
 msred at each other through one hundred
 and six rounds and, at dark, the referee
 ordered the battle stopped. Next morning
 Ii was decided draw. Six months before

An Unknown Man Found Dead.

The body of an unknown man was found near Scotch Cap, just off the mouth of East Haven river, yesterday afternoon. Death had evidently been caused by drowning, and the suppositit Il is that it was a case of suicide or accident as no marks of violence could be seen. The body had been in the water many days. The man was about 50 years old, five feet eight inches high, partially bald, and had red hair. He was dressed in black coat and checked trousers, with low shoes and red stockings.

 NEW ORLEANS, July S.-No battle m the history of tho ring has over excited the in- forest this one has, and the probabilities are that not another of its kind will ever take its place.

applicant is not fit person to receive a
brewers license, without specifying for
what cause, is bad for uncertainty, and
is, moreover, evasive. The return does
say, however, that so far as it is posi-
BILE for corporation to possess a NOR
al character, it did not possess good

this proposition seriously, yet it is the
only matter in this return which gives

That the learned judges below so re.
garded it is evident by the qualification
in their return. But the corporation
has officers and board Of directors. If
the court below had found, upon evil
dence, and so returned, that said Off
GERS and directors were not men of
good moral character, Iapprehend that
the return would have been sufficient.
At the same time doubt whether any
one of the learned judges below would
have heen willing to put his name to q
