road brakeman, this morning. Hun
dreds of freight brakemen shuddered

thin film of snow on top of the cars.
This morningit was even more danger
Gus, the roofs being Recovered and
slippery as glass.
"NIen who never worked on a train do
not appreciate the danger as much as do
the old hands, who see in the first snow
of winter a menace and an admonition
to be careful. Running along the roof
of moving freight train is risky bust
ness at any time, but when the foot
board is covered with snow and ice it
becomes more hazardous than probably
any other pursuit in the world. Even
the oldest hands cannot always guard
against slip, and every freight brake
man las had narrow escapes and just
saved himself by cIutching the foot

LIQUOR DEALERS PROTEST.

Seymour Ones Who Have Paid for
Licenses Want Protection.
The liquor dealers of Seymour are
very much worked up over the free sale
of beer going on in the town. They
claim that club rooms in the place sell
from two,to three times as much beer per
week as any one dealer in the town. and
sell without licsnse, while the dealer
pays $500 for his privilege. Nearly every
citizen of Seymour is oognizant of this
fact and still it goes on. The dealers
also claim that the club business, to-
gether with the business done by out of
town dealers who peddle from wagons
and pay no license, cut off their sales to
to such an extent that it is hardly profit
able to carry it on, and pay $500 for a
license.
One dealer says that list of twenty
two names of persons who are
illegal dealers has been placed in the
hands of the prosecuting attorney of the
town, but as yet he has made no move
whatever toward prosecution. Much of
the Sunday drunkenness laid at this
doors of licensed dealers. they claim in
Justice should be attributed to these
sources. They also claim that the $500
paid for license is not only TO give them
immunity from the law, but should pro-
tect them from unlicensed dealers. The
voice of all Of them is expressed in the
words of one, "We pay for protection
and must have it,"

WORLD OF SPORTS

Frank Selee, the manager of the
Boston club, telegraphed Jimmy Ryan
recently for his terms. Ryan sent them,
with the proviso that they were not to
feet. Selee accepted the terms, but
wanted positive answer which RYAN
would not give, and the deal fell
through. Jimmy is now regretting the
fact that he did not do the business
when he had the chance.
The New Haven club is anxious to get
an American association franchise with
out the least hope of being gratified.
Some people cannot let we'll enough
alone. New Haven is great Atlantic
or New England base ball city, and
should bend its energies toward arrang-
ing for strong minor league circuit for
next season.

Mary Brady,s Sad Death.

PUTNAM, Dec 4.-The unusual circunl-
stances surrounding the death of Mary
Brady, who was buried here this week
drew such attention to her disease.
She formerly owned millinery store in
town. Lately she has been at work at
her trade in New York city and her
sister has been employed in one of the
local stores. One morning last week a
well dressed lady entered the shop in
Putnam, and inquired for Sarah Brady,
and on her entrance from the trimming
room asked if she had sister Mary in
New York. The girl said that she had
and was then told that her sister was
dead. She was told by the stranger
that she kept a lodging house in New
York and that Mary had been the occu-
pant of one of her rooms. One morning
the landlady heard a pounding on the
floor above and going up found the
friendless girl in dying concition, hav-
ing been alone without food or fire for a
number of days. Just as the landlady
was about to notify the city authorities
to care for the body, the postman left a
letter for the dead girl. The letter fur
nished clue and the woman came to
Putnam.

John L. Sullivan, Duncan B. Harrison
and good company will play Honest
Hearts and Willing Hands, in City hall
Saturday night instead of Friday as
previously announced. OF the play the
Philadelphia Times says: Mr. Harrson's
drama is very good one in itself, though,
perhaps, not strong enough in some ex-
traneous interest with the audiences
bent upon sensation. With Sullivan s the
object of this extraneous interest, it is,
of course, necessary to afford some speci-
mems of the blacksmith's skill in the art
of self-defence, and this is done in the
fair scene in the last act. There is moth
ing coarse or vulgar in it.

Promise Result in Failure.
LONDON, December AT noon to-

parliament again resumed the discussion
as to the retirement of Parnell.
Many kilograms from America were
read, after which the resolution of com
promise offered by Mr. Clancy was
taken up. 1t was stated that the terms
of settlement had been submitted to Mr.
Gladstone for approval, and that he had
refused to consider them until ParneIl

was offered for the purpose of giving

ton. The measure was rejected. This
result was not expected and there is
great excitement in the lobby.
