John Skinner, a young negro better
known by our police. was arrested,
tried and committed, on Saturday last.
for an assault with deadly weapon
upon one Geo. Washington. colored
mechanic. It seems that Skinner
owed Washington some money for
work and on being asked for it became
very angry and began to abuse his
creditor, vhereupon an afray followed.
On being separated Skinner drew a
pistol and, stepping off few feet, be-
gan firing at Washington, who sue
ceeded in making his escape unin.

Sunday evening last Mr.. Spruill,
finding that the Jail had been fred

to chain Skinner. He, securing large

that he was shackled. The affair
came near being serious one.

VENTILATION SERVICES

pr the Rev. '. Lee Mitchell as Pastor ofthe First Congregational Church,
 Fair Havcn-To-Morrow Evening's
 Exercises.
 An event of special interest in Fair Haven this week will be the installation of Rev. J. Lee Mitchell as pastor of the First Congrega- tional church. MT. Mitchell has already es- tablished himself in the hearts of the people of the First church, both by his preaching, which gives high satisfaction, and by his other labors as pastor, and the church looks forward with much pleasure to the future under his leadership. He Is an entertaining and instructive preacher, and is ready and gifted speaker. Socially he is already very popular with his people, with whom he is fast becoming personally acquainted: He Is hardly thirty wears of age yet, but has already won very dattering position in the university. The installation sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. Arthur Little, gifted and prominent preacher of Boston. Rev. MT. Conrad, who gives the charge to the pastor, is from Brook lyn. The ecclessastioal council will meet at 8:30 pm. at the church. It is expected that no theological snags will be met with by the council in his examination, as reports an- nOuuCo tuht uo ID uOb III ACCOIu WAsA su0 new theology or with the future probation, and Is otherwise what is termed orthodox. The examination, 1t is expected, therefore will run along quite smoothly. An interest ing fact is also that in the list of churches invited to participate in the council the Cen- ter and United churches of this city are for some reason omitted. The full program of the installation services is as follows:

to the same habit. It may be the same old tooth pick.
 Manager Cudworth says that the Worcester club has had more i'll luck than any Atlantic association team. They only played three out of thirteen scheduled games on their recent trip on account or the rain.
 When Tucker and Tom Burns of the Brooklyns ones self think. Tucker has the most exhaustive lungs but Burns high falsetto, which Is very enective.
 To be q base ball crank seems be quite "fad" nowadays. Edward Everett Bell, Nick EnRe, Qenersl "Hil Hi!' Dixwell, Digby Bell, De Wolf Hopper and Francis Wilson about lead tho country,
 in this respect.
 Oberlandsr, the Newark pitcher, is g good stayer
 for seven innings, but when the sna or @ tae & game auently gets rattled, which turns an apparent victory in defeat. The heavy batting and large scores Of the Broth erhood games are causing q great 9eal of com msnt. Some say the pitching is weak, while otn-
 ers think the ball is too lively On the other hand, tho League games arc remarkable for weak hitting and small scores. Tommy Esterbrook has that same old swagger which made him famous as the base ball dude He rather likes the guying of the crowd and seem. to
 play better ball when the spectators are crticsing his makeup than when silence relgns supreme.
 Just at present Ester is playing first base for New York in excellent fashion. The present war between the League and the Brotherhood has brought about one good result It has served to induce many promising young play
 CTS to come forward and give exhibition of their skill. Players like Alien, Burke, Hamilton, Long, Russie, Nichols, Nagle. Corney, Kittridge Daily, have secured such prominent positions before the public if the Brotherhood players had remained ! with their old employerS

TOWN CONSTABLE APPOINTED.

Lewis Asher she Successful Candidate
 -Msjor ssrona's ObIecslon-A Com
 tract Awarded.
 Lewis Asher was appointed town constable to succeed the late David K. Andrews by the selectmen at last nights meeting. It appears that MT. Asher had been decided upon by the democratic majority of the board before the meeting. Major Strong and General Sloas were not aware that an election was to be made until the two applications which were sent to the board last night were opened. They were from Samuel Wiseman and Jons- than w. Pond. Mr. Wiseman's application was signed by twenty or thirty well known citizens. It stated he was of the same politi- cal persuasion as the late incumbent.
 Major Strong motioned that Mr. Wiseman be appointed town constable, and General Sloat seconded it. A vote was taken, but there were but one or two voices heard. An aye and nay vote was called for and Messrs, Goodrich, Reynolds, Rowe and Fleischner voted no.
 MT. Reynolds then stated that Mr. Asher was candidate, and moved that he be ap- pointed. The democrats voted yes and the republicans voted no. He was declared elected as town constable.
 Major Strong was somewhat surprised at this mode of election. He had not heardsof Mir. ,Asher's candidacy ard thought the transactions which led to his election had not been entirely above board. The matter was, however, explained and passed over.
 The contract for turnpikipg, grading and widening the Morris Cove road was awarded to K. J. Upson for $500. t1

A splendid invention that's fast taking the place of the old fashioned broom. No dust, dirt, labor or noise. You'll find ours the "W. N. & Co.," down in the Big Basement.
 It's got all the improvements of the celebrated Grand Rap ids' and has higher degree of finish. It digs into, or lightly glides over the carpet according to the heavy or light pressure on the handle. It creeps under things and into corners, literally sucks up the dust, and dumps with touch.
 The "W. N. & Co.," is orna- mental, too. It's box part is highly polished, nickel trimmed, and it costs no more than the poorer sort that has only half the desirable points. It's only $500.
 A little bit about Carpets. There's no economy in a POOR Carpet. The colors change, the pattern disappears, and holes and general shabbiness come to the front very quickly.
 It gets to be an eyesore and you've got to discard it.
 Now you can put a stop to all this right away by buying your Carpet GOOD as we'll as cheap.
 That means you must get it where there's always a heap of the best makes kept-where the trade is so large that it can be sold in the best qualities at prices under regular Carpet houses. We'll mention one or two to give you an idea.
 Body Brusselsis of course the best to buy, if it's possible. The colors and wear will stand the test of years, as you know. We've got it in the newest shades and most approved pat terms for halls. stairs, parlors, dining rooms, etc. goo the yard, our price, will make it worth your while to buy.
 Ingrain has not quite the same appearance, but it's good look ing, good wear-the best after Body Brussels. It's here in the best quality of 3-ply all wool that means three thicknesses woven together, at goo the yard.
 Those SMYRNA RUGs we talk ed to you about are perhaps as popular an item among the Car pets as any. Beautiful to the eye, soft to the tread, and treasures at 6oc, is the verdict of those who've bought them.
 These are specimens picked at random out of the big stock of varieties. The splendid dis play in the CARPET HALL is worth coming a long way to see.

At the present time it looks as if the ma sons' strike will be of long duration. Both the bosses and the masons stand firm and re- fuse to come to any agreement. The reason that Contractor Grant granted the demands of strikers for one day, Monday, is said to be @ contract which he was obliged to finish or be sued. The masons held meeting last night, but the situation remains the same, with no prospect of change for some time to como. The builders also talked over mat ters last night.

A DANGEROUS WALK.

A Fair Havener Perhaps Fatally In-
 jurcd ae the East Grand Street Cross-
 ing-Was it Suicldef
 A probable fatal accident occurred at the East Grand street crossing yesterday morn ing. George Pitt. laborsr sixty-one years old, was struck by the 9:25 passenger train out. He was walking on the track and at first stepped off one side, but for some reason or other returned, and in his attempts either at suicide or to cross over to the other side, was struck by the engine and thrown into the ditch at the side of the road, receiving 8 severe fracture of tho skull. It was con. siderable time before Medical Examiner White reached the spot, and during that time the sufferer lay by the side of the track, whereas had an ambulance been sum moned at once he would have arrived in 6 short time at the hospital, where he was eventually taken. Slight hopes for his re- covery were entertained by the hospital rhy- sioians last evening. He lived at 62 Haven street, is @ widower and has one son, Henry, who called at the hospital and identified his father
