THE CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS.
What VIII Be Done Tuesday In the
Superior Court.

What VIII Be Done Tuesday In the
Superior Court.
Speaking of the fight over the New
England roads tracks on Spruce and
Church streets, Hartford, the Courant
says : 1t is certain that the tracks will
not come up between now and Tuesday.
Will then, an ex-ieutenant governor of
the state, a prominent citizen of Water
bury and another of New Britain be
lodged in the county Jail for contempt
of court? There are many twists and
turns in the law and it is hard to tell
what will happen when the three gentle
men come before Judge Thayer, Tues
day. Perhaps the New England road
lawyers will apply to the supreme court
of the United States for an injunction
to restrain from any further proceedings
in the matter on the ground that the
case has passed out of the jurisdiction of
the state court into that of the United
States court. 1t is rumOred that this is
the move now to be made. If the time
is too short for such an injunction to be
obtained, the lawyers may apply to the
United States court for writ of haLeas
corpus on the same ground. Such a
writ might be issued by Judge Shipman
if he saw sufficient reason for 1t. The
directors are not likely to put them
selves still farther in contempt by failing
to obey the order to appear IN court,
Tuesday.

Duryea didn't go to Brooklyn with the

Duryea, the contract jumper, has been
doing very poor work for Cincinnati,

regret that cast-iron three years con-

WATERBURY A SPORTING TOWN.
AS Jim Lavelle and a Crowd of New
York Boxers Found Out.

AS Jim Lavelle and Crowd of New
York Boxers Found Out.
The New York Sun pays its respects to
Ed Mcdonald in this fashion:
Ed Mcdonald, the light weight boxer,
whose only distinction in the ring comes
from the fact of his being the first man
Jack Dempsey knocked out, recently
came to grief In Waterbury, Conn. Ed
is we'll known as manager of "fake"
fights, and is credited with partlcipat-
ing in more than any pugilist in the
country. He has been working" the
staid citizens of Connecticut the past
few months, Waterbury being the head
quarters. The mine showing signs of
being worked out, Mcdonald concluded
he would give himself one more testimo-
inal benefit and then light out. He hired
the opera house, put out posters, and
sent for talent from New York.
The eventful night came, but no spec
tators. At 81 there were two men in
the parquet, two in the dress circle. and
a couple of dozen boys in the gallery.
The leader of the band eyed this assem-
| blage meditatlvely, and then inter-
viewed the beneficiary. The result was
the musicians grabbed their coats and
disappeared, and Mcdonald quickly fol-
lowed suit.
This was an unpleasant state of affairs
| for the New \ ork delegation OF boxers,
who had come up in charge of Jim
Lavelle. Upon McDonald's representa-
ton that there would be a great show
with plenty of box-office receipts,
Lavelle had paid the expenses of the
party to Waterbury, and it looked as if
he would have to pay them home again
without any return, as diligent search
for Mcdonald proved fruitless. But at
this point the Waterbury sports, who
had watched the fizzle of McDonald's
show with delight, came to the front.
They took the New Workers down to the
club house, gave them an elegant sup
per, witnessed the clever exhibitions,
reimbursed Lavelle for his expenses,
gave the boxers from IS TO $15 each,
escorted them to the train with a brass
band and sent them on their journey to
New York with great eclat, all to show
that while they did not tolerate ''fakirs
they did not propose to let any party OF
New Workers. who came with the inten-
ton of giving an honest show, leave
with the impression that Waterbury is
not sporting town. Lavelle and his
party are ready with affidavits that they
are the best fellows in christendom.

Miss Redding and her thoroughly
capable company appeared in this south
ern play last evening. Miss Redding as
Zoe was painstaking and natural her
rendition of this extremely difficult role
was all that could be desired. Mr. Smith
can now lay claim to be one of Water
burys favorites and was given hearty
reception as he appeared on the stage
Miss Redding's singing of the southern
airs were appreciated. Mr. Theadore as
Scudder the overseer, was quite clever.
Mr. Brown and Miss Mitchell contributed
to the successful presentation of this
standard drama. Tonight The Lost

cent silver pitcher now on exhibition in
the window of Lake, Strobel & Co will
be given to the person holding the lucky
number. The drawing will take place

Use It..

There is no use of doubling The fact must
be conceded that Cooks Balm of Life' is a
genuine remedial agent for the cure of many Of
the physical ills of life. We have used it; our
friends have used it; and all attest, with uni
form appreciation, to its curative qualities and
general beneficial effects. One grand specially
about it lies in the fact that it does no violence
to the system. 1t is perfectly innocent, as well
as efiicacous. In ulcerations it is purifier and
cleanser. In cases of infiammatory action it
soothes and mollifies. A swallow of it, In
many cases OF internal arrangement, gives ease
and comfort. For the toilet it is pleasant and
agreeable. Once use it and you will never be
without it. This is the common testimony, all
OF which is proven daily at the laboratory, 11O5
E street northwest, where Fthe demand is so
large that it has been necessary to put in new
steam retort, through which all orders can now
be filled without delay. We honestly and cor
daily recommend the Balm of Life to the pub
lie at large.

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. 1 am ready to certify to this
statement before a justice of the peace."-
II. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
"Some years ago, after a severe attack Of
brain fever, my hair all came out l used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce
growth of hair. 1 then tried, successively,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought
growth of hair in few weeks. 1 think
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. 1 believe Ayers Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the market"

Wonders

Are wrought by the use of Ayers Hair
Vigor in restoring gray hair to its original
color, promoting a new growth, prevent
ing the hair from falling, keeping it soft,
silky, and abundant, and the scalp cool,
healthy, and free from dandruff or humors.
The universal testimony is that this prep
aration has no equal as dressing, and
is, therefore, Indispensable to every we'll
furnished toilet.
al have used Ayers Hair Vigor for some
time and 1t has worked wonders for me. 1

becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my
