WORLD OF SPORTS.

John L. Sullivan, the champion fight CT of the world, was, says the Bridge port Post, at Bowen's place adjoining the theater at the park yesterday after noon, where he displayed the patience hardly expected from a saint. John l.. was drinking at the bar when a big, burly fellow, almost the same in size as Sullivan, came up and said he would like to take a round out of the cham pion, and he knew he could do him up in one round with a gun. The famous fighter stood this kind of talk for fully three-quarters of an hour and never once said fight. This only tends to show that Sullivan is not quite as bad as he is painted and that he is actually driven to action in similar cases. However, he took this mans threats in good part and treated him besides.
 The Boston and Buffalo Players league clubs have transferred their Fourth of July games from Buffalo to Boston.
 Tim Keefe was hit by 8 pitched ball in Pittsburg on the elbow of his right arm, and has been unable to use it in pitching since then.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

A Young Lady Nearly Choked to
 Death by a Piece of Candy.
 There was great excitement in front of Botsford's drug store in New Milford last night and a great crowd gathered owing to the report that young lady was choking to death inside the store. It transpired that she had been eating some candy, piece of which had hastily summoned and he recommended that the sufferer do nothing but wait for the candy to dissolve. This remedy was adopted and soon the young lady was all right.

A Crazy woman,s whim.

HARTFORD, July 3.-Agent Thrall of the Humane society yesterday afternoon Mrs Samuel Mumford set out for Florida with all her household effects, the cara van including four wagons and two horses. She had gone only about a mile beyond the city limits when the teams became stuck in the mud. The woman then pitched a tent on the grass and for over a week has camped meath the broad canopy of hea- ven. Agent Thrall called upoh the woman this morning and she threatened to shoot him, saying that she had a special call from God to make the over land journey to Florida. The woman is undoubtedly crazy and will be cared for.

Rockville Crowding Out FaHirs.

ROCKVILLE, July 3.-This city has for many years been infested with peddlers and "fakirs" of all kinds and descrip- tions. The street vendors and auction eers have largely interfered with the sales of the regular merchants, and the Merchants Protective association has been at work with the common council for some time to try to induce that body to pass an ordinance to restrain the transients. The council has now passed a license ordinance which is the highest in the state and goes into effect this week. The fee for the occupation of a store for a term of less than nine months is not less than $2 a day or $40 month. For peddlers the fee is not less than $5 nor more than $100. It is believed this ordinance will be of benefit. Last week an alleged Texas cowboy cleared $87 in one night by selling some patent medi- cineS.

LIBERTY STREET EXTENSION.
A Matter In Which Every CItizeH
 r..1..G... rII..,nnnR

A Matter In Which Every Citizen
 should Interest Himself.
 It is the duty of every member of the court of common council to attend next Monday nights meeting and by voice and vote protect the city's rigslts in the matter of the Liberty street extension.
 There is not a moment to lose. The land is already enclosed by fence, cut ting off the passageway between Bank and Liberty streets; and without much doubt the railroad managers will further fortify themselves in their position, by building, unless the authorities see to it that the peoples rights are respected.
 In our own mind we feel satisfied that the layout of the proposed extension has been legally accepted. But even if such is not the case, the strategic action of the railroad company, in quietly pur- chasing the land and building a high fence in the face of the people from whom it draws it's chief support, was unexpected, to say the least.
 The extension of Liberty street is a great public necessity and if it is found necessary the case will be fought to the bitter end,

Fourth of July Fires.

Now be on the lookout for Fourth of July fires. Too much care cannot be ex- ercised in view of the fact that so many combustibles and explosives are in use at such a time. In New Haven Chief Hendrick has issued a Fourth of July order to the fire department and to the public. In speaking of the especial dan ger of fires on the national holiday he urges the people to remember that on July 4, 1866, a firecracker thrown by a boy kindled fire which consumed nearly all the business portion of Port land, Me, property amounting to $10,- 0O0, 900 being destroyed and 2.O00 faml- les rendered houseless, in a popu lation of 30, 900.

The Companies Generally Opposed to
 Eight Days in Camp.
 NEW HAVEN, July 3.-Company D of New Britain and Company of Meriden, have voted not to go to camp eight days this year for six days pay. One of the Waterbury companies also took simi- lar stand in the matter and it is thought that majority of the companies of the brigade will do likewise. Adjutant General Embler was asked this morning what effect such action would have on the eight day arrangement. General Embler said that he had as yet received no official reports and did not expect to get any until Saturday or Monday, when the colonels of the regiments would re- port to him the action of the different companies upon the proposed measure. He thought the men looked at the pay from a wrong point of view. Very few if any of them would get any pay for Sunday even if they staid at home. When asked whether the eight day plan would be insisted upon if the companies voted against it, General Embler said he would have to get the reports of the colonels and their recommendations be- fore deciding.

DISEASE OF ANIMALS.
Report of the Board of ARrIculture
 Upon Tuberculosis.

Upon Tuberculosis.
 The Connecticut state board of agri- culture has made a special report on dis eases of domesticated animals, having official reference to tuberculosis. They say the facts are well settled that tuber- culosis is not only communicable dis ease, that it occurs in many animals, especially the human and bovine races, and is sintercommunicable between them. While this last point hardly admits of positive proof, it is generally accepted by pathoIogists.
 Tuberculosis, affecting the lungs, the most common and communicable form, IS indicated by a cough, difficult respira- tion, and general weakness and wasting away or cancellation. The persistence or these symptoms proves that it IS not a common cold. The animal should be quarantined; if a milch COW, the milk reflected, and if there is no speedy re- covery, a veterinarian should be consult ed or the beast slaughtered as valueless and dangerous.
 The attendant may contract the dis ease from cattle or give 1t to them. CrowdOi, overloaded stables with imper- feet ventilation or any causes by which the tone of the system is reduced, des- troy the power. to resist the disease and favor its development.
 It is not proved that animals contract the disease from the breath of the sick, but rather by eating the rejected food upon which the saliva or sputa may have fallen, or by inhaling the dried sputa floating in the air. A healthy animal should never be al lowed to eat the rejected food from ami mals suspected of tuberculous, or be kept in the same barn or field. The flesh | of tuberculous animals is dangerous as food hence, no use in trying to fatten them for beef.
 As the disease is hereditary, a sus- pected animal should never be used as a breeder. A tuberculous animal has little strength for work, and will not pay foI the keeping.
 In mich cows, in addition to the com mon danger of contagion, the milk { unsafe for food even for swine or poul try, and it only remains for the owner of tuberculous subject to meet the loss promptly and slaughter the animal be- fore others contract the disease.
