No More New Gases OF Smallpox.
MER1DEN, Feb. 19.-There were no new
cases of smallpox reported to day. though

Meriden plays in Bridgeport tonight and
the Silver City aggregation will endeavor to
down the champions on their own ground.
People who known both Conway and Par
sons understand what makes them have
their regular scrap when they come together.
There is some talk Of forming joint stock
company and purchasing the New Britain
polo franchise, the company to be composed
solely of New Britain people.
The champions put eight balls into the
fish net last week while their opponents were
putting twenty eight in the same place. The
''get there" style is the right kind to have.
It is a wonder some of the other teams do
not practice this wonderful ''get there" style.
It was surprise to have Meriden defeated
at home by New Britain, especially after the

team will be Connors, Hill, Cooke, Phelan
and Reed.
The champions will be here tomorrow
night and will come determined to do mp the
local team, but they will find their row a
hard one to hoe. Nobody feels the poor
showing made by the team any more than
the players themselves and the "Soientists'
will fight every inch of the ground. Nothing
will brace them up any more than good
house and the polo crsnks should turn out in
large numbers Friday night.
Instead of having the Bridgeport semi
professionals play here Saturday night al

Rogers, rushers; Connolly, center; Murch,

is at present in this city. Wodtke was q
player on the old DAnbury team and all OF

be q good game and should be we'll attented.
The Flyers team will be very strong one,
composed of the best amateur polo players In
the city and the Danburys will have to hustle

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19.-President Day Of
the New York club to-day said: II am here
after the Indianapolis team if possible to get
1t. We want the whole outfit. It is we'll
recognised that an eight-club circuit would
enable the League to make a more successful
and determined fight against the Brother
hood. Of course if Indianapolis goes out 1t
would force out one other club. By the re-
duction it would more evenly balance the
teams and all would be good cities and have
good teams. II we could get the Indian
apolis players We would stand on an equal
footing with the Brotherhood" Mr., Day
stated after a consultation with President
Brush that no offer whatever had been made
for the Indianapolis players, but he presented
to Mr.. Brush the advisability of reduction
to an eight-club league. He said: II do not
know what action will be taken. That lies
with the League, and the question will be
discussed at the meeting of March f." Brush
made substantially the same statement.

HE SAVED THE TRAIN.

An Engineer Drives Through Wreck
He Could Not Avoid.
A horrible catastrophe was averted
on the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern Railroad on the 10Th, near Silver
Creek, Pa, through the bravery and
cool-headed conduct of an engineer.
A detached section of an east
bound freight train had been run
into by another section of the
was thrown down on the west-bound
track lust as No. fast train was going
west. Engineer John Burns, of Buffalo,
of the passenger train, YVES coming
down the hill at the rate of fifty
miles an hour; he saw truck ahead
and then freight car. He saw an
attempt to stop his train and jump would
sacrifice the lives of his $50 passengers.
His fireman had left him, and freight
cars mounted one another ahead. In a
flash of a second Engineer Burns re-
solved to stand by his post,
and springing from his seat behind
the boiler, he put on every pound OF
steam, and opening his sand-box, so as
to get tirmer hold on the track, the
iron monster Ed Gallup gave a snort
and sprang forward, threw the truck
and cut through the freight car and 9TH
er debris. Burns, with wonderful forti-
tude, held the lever, and, the moment
he had cleared the obstruction, re-
versed his engine and threw on the air
brake AS the train entered the wreck,
the sides were torn out of three coaches.
The screams of women rose high above
the screeching of the steam. AL
though the Ed Gallup was dismantled,
brave Engineer Burns emerged from
the debris alive, but covered with scars
and bruises. Stout-hearted men en-
braced the brave engineer Historically,
realizing that his heroism had saved
the train. Only one passenger was Sc
riously injured, and that was Mrs. Mary
Kane, of Denniston, o., who was in the
smoker. Her injuries are internal, and
several ribs are broken. She was
placed in the Hanoi Hospital at
Erie Joseph Myers, of Cleve-
land, was badly hurt about the
head. Little Susie Heither, daughter
of David Neither, of Chicago, shoulder
dislocated; News Agent John Quinn, of
Buffalo, arm hurt. A number of others
were slightly hurt. Strange to say, not
car in the train left the track, and
Judge S. S. Burke, president of the To-
ledo & Ohio Central Railroad, who was
on the train, pronounced it the most
wonderful escape on record. After the
people got quieted G. M. Splitter, a
Boston banker, headed a list, and over
$500 were presented to Engineer Burns
by the passengers.

some People May Live Long Enough To
See the New Post-office.
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Oct. 15.-There Is
to be more delay in starting on the new
Milwaukee post-office building. Short
ly after the passage of the sundry civil
bill, which fixed the limit Of cost at
81, SOC, 900, the draughtsmen in the SUI
pervising architects office began the
preparation of preliminary sketches
with view of determining what kind
of building could be put up for that
amount of money. 1t is now said that
further operations have been suspended,
pending an effort to get more money.
Senator Spooner insists that $2,000,C0Q
is needed to put up building suited to
the needs of Milwaukee, and is de-
termined to get the full amount OF
the original bill. 1t is not
intended to ask for an additional ap-
preparation direct from the treasury,
but to pass a law applying the proceeds
Of the sale of the present post office
and site to the fund already appropri2-
ted. Under the law at present the pro-
ceeds are to be covered into the treasu
ry, and if applied in the manner con-
templated will increase the total fund
available for the building to $1,000, 900,
Or nearly that sum. Meanwhile the
preparations are suspended, and moth
ing will be done towards making a start
until next spring.

AFTER A MILLION.

Suit Begun by John III. Clews, of New
York, to Recover.
IKE suit was begun by summons short
time ago in the New York supreme
court by John III. Clews, against the
Woodstock Iron Company, of Alabama.
1t was brought to recover an alleged
interest in certain stock and property
of the Oxford Iron Company, a cor
poration organized under the laws
of the state of Alabama, which
some years ago was in the
hands Of Henry Clews, the banker. He
transferred the right in it to his broth
er, John II. Clews, who in turn trans
ferred it to Mr.. Kenna, who sold it to
the defendant for $1,000. Defendant
company improved the property and on
the plairtiff finding out that the prop
erty had increased in value he claimed
that it was sold under false pretenses.
1t is claimed the property is worth ST.
900, 900, and this amount the plaintiff
seeks to recover. The case was
removed from the state court to
the United States circuit court where
the defendant company moved to set
aside the summons by which the action
had been commenced III the state court.
Judge Lecombe, of the United States
circuit court, gave a decision granting
the motion to set aside the summons,
which practically throws the case out of
court. The Judge holds that the COM
pany is an Alabama corporation, having
no Offices in the state, and that no ac-
ton could be brought against the de-
faudantS
