Nearly Three Hundred Delegates
Meeting In Hartford.
HARTFORD, August 13.-The prohibit
ton state convention opened at 1880 to-
day in Unity hall, nearly three hundred
delegates being present. The represen-
tation is as follows Two delegates al
ditional delegate for every ten votes
cast for Camp in 1888. Many lady dele
gates are present.
The convention was opened by Nathan
Babcock of Stonington, chairman of the
state executive committee, and prayer
was offered by Rev Mr. Phillips of New
Haven. DIR John A. Rockwell of Nor
walk was chosen temporary chairman
and committee upon permanent organ
izrtion was appointed.
While waiting for the report of the
committee Rev S. ID. Forbes of Hartford
was called upon for speech. In the
course of his remarks he protested
against the saloons in the lower portion
of the city among the poorer classes. He
said he would prefer to see the county
commissioners crowd all the saloons
together on Washington street, and
would not care if there was a saloon on
either side of the governors house. "He
wouldn't either" interrupted a voice.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported the name of Rev Charles
A. Northrop of New London as perma-
nent chairman. One vice president was
chosen from each county. Fl. E. Smith
and r. NJ. Stanley of Hartford, and c..
IS. Butler of New Haven were appointed
secretaries.

WORLD OF SPORTS

No, the magnates will not take back
any of the old players. When Latham
was released by Comiskey last week be-
cause of his miserable playing, there
was a grand scramble on the part of
half dozen clubs for his services. Gin
cinnati carried off the prize O., land Won
der Abe is 50 800 ahead in consequence.
The secret of John Ewing's success in
the box is that he allows "Buck" to
work the batsmen. The great catcher
knows the batting proclivities of every
prominent player, and he signals to
John the exact kind of a ball to deliver.
The latter has unlimited confidence in
'Buck" and the result is that the Ewing {

battery in the country.
Outfielder Henry has been given ten
days notice of his release by Manager
Mutrie. Henry is a pretty good player,
but he was outclassed in the league.

THE RAILROADS EXPLAIN.
why They Did Not Remove Crossings
a. Rennired Nv Lazy.

Why They Did Not Remove Crossings
AS Required BY Law.
The railroad commissioners yesterday
examined the replies from the New
York & New England, the Central New
England & Western and the Housatonic
railroads, to their recent inquiries as to
why the roads had not complied with
the law in removing one grade crossing
year for each stated length of road in
the state.
General Manager Howard of the New
York & New England railroad replies
that the company intended to remove
the Bank street and Riverside street
crossings at Waterbury, but has been de-
layed by the act of the legislature which
provides for union depot, which may
alter the grades. The company is also
crossings at Cottage street, Danielson-
vile, and one near Osborn in East
Windsor.
Superintendent Opdyke of the Central
New England & Western road, said his
company considered that the changes at
Hoskins station in Simsbury were a full
compliance with the law.
Vice President Stevenson of the Hous-
atomic railroad gave the reply that the
company intends to remove the grade
crossing at North avenue, Bridgeport.
If the city will bear part of the expense,
work will quickly be begun.
No action regarding these replies has
yet been taken by the commissioners,
owing to the illness of Commissioner
Woodruff. The letters have been for
warded to Mr. Woodruff at Litchtield.
