Rev s. W. Delzell spoke at the Congre-
 gational church, Sunday morning, on the
 Bible and the Christian religion as the
 foundation of all true liberty, Memorial
 day suggesting the freedom of the blacks from slavery. Emancipation was not
 wrought by the will of man, but, in spite of human opposition, by the divine will. Nothing is settled until it is settled right and in the temperance conflict, now rag ing, the only true settlement, MT Delzell said, was the prohibition of the manufac- ture and sale of liquors. He spoke on the same line of thought at the union Me- morial services in the Hook, Sunday evening, enlivening his speech by remi- niscences of his own memories of the war as he saw it in his boyhood home in Mis- souri. His father, Presbyterian minis ter of Union sympathies, had his favorite horse stolen by five mounted Rebels, which led Aunt Margaret, one of his fathers parishioners, to remark that "Andy Delzell's horse, which had pack ed the Gospel, now had to pack the dew il." Rev Mir Butcher briefly reviewed the slavery conflict, asserting that the Union arms won no decisive victories un- til Abraham Lincoln signed the eman- cipation proclamation. He feared lest the conflicts of the future should also be settled with carnage and drew a vivid picture of the saloon traffic and it's 100, GOO victims annually laid in unhonored graves. Mir and Mrs E. J. Hall and Mrs E. A. Bennett sang pretty trio, ''Drop- ping from the ranks.''

THE NEW RAILROAD.

The Location from New Haven to
New York State Approved-A Tun-
mel 5000 Feet Long.
The railroad commissioners of Connec-
ticut have unanimously approved the lay
out and location of the New York, Bridge
port and Eastern Railroad company in ac-
cordance with it's petition of last Febru-
airy. They failed to find that any damage
to property would be serious enough to
warrant disapproval of the railroad COM
pany's petition.
The proposed railroad, known as the
parallel" has been surveyed and laid out
from North street, New Haven, to New
York, but the Connecticut commissioners
have jurisdiction only as far as where the
road crosses Byram river at the state
boundary line. 1t is proposed to have not
single grade crossing in the entire dis
lance. Through Norwalk the road will
run through tunnel nearly 5000 feet
long. It will, if ever built, cross the
Housatonic railroads underneath, and will
pass above the Danbury & Norwalk, the
Ridgefeld & New York, and the Stamford
and New Canaan railroads,

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

The Local Team Succumb to Albany
In the Worst Game of the Season
Doran Pitches Poor Ball and the
Team ExceIs in Making Errors.
One of the worst exhibitions of base
ball ever given on the local grounds was
that put up by the New Haven team yes
terday afternoon in the game with the
Albany club. The team evidently had an
off day and put up some very yellow"
ball Doran was in the box for the home
team and succeeded in pitching the worst
was far below the standard of even a Sec
ond rate amateur, and met with disappro-
baton from the five hundred or more
spectators present. He had absolutely no
control of the ball whatever, and, in addi-
ton to his execrable pitching, made four
costly errors in throwing to bases. Doyle
made his first appearance with the team
since his illness and is credited with two
errors. Lally also endeavored to keep in
line with the rest of the players. and in
order to do 80 dropped an easy fly from
Gerhardt's bat.
The visitors put up fairly good field
ing game, and as they hit the ball at will,
won the game with ridiculous ease.
O'Rourke was in the box for them, and
although he only bobbed the ball
up over the plate the eyes of the
local batsmen were so blinded that they
were able to hit them but seven times,
and then they were so scattered as to be
of absolutely no use.
The local team scored their only run in
the fifth inning. Theisen, who was the
first man at the bat, led off with a nice
two base hit, was advanced to third on
Annis' sacrifice fly to Baeder, and scored
on.Lang's timely single.
The visitors were blanked in the first
inning, but in the second scored three
runs and secured the lead and were at no
time headed in the game. Gunshannon
was hit by pitched ball and advanced to
second on base on balls to Hess. A
base on costly overthrow of Doran to
second base and scored Immediately after
ward on Gerhardt's three base hit, the
latter scoring on Kappell's sacrifice, Lang
to Farrar. Another run was added to
the score in the next inning by Hanrahan
on an error of Doyle's, a passed ball by
Theisen, Kennedy's sacrifice and Brady's
single. In the fifth inning four runs
were scored on hit by pitched ball, er-
rors by Doran and Doyle, and single by
Hess. Another run was added in the
seventh on Gunshannon's force hit and
Hess three Dagger and again in the eighth
on Kennedy's two Dagger and Brady's sin

AT THE RUBBER SHOP.
The Contractors In tho Various
partments Suffer a Cut of 1--WE

The Contractors In tho Various De.
partments Suffer a Cut of Twenty
Per Cent.
The contractors at the L. Candee & Co.
rubber shop have undergone a cut of 20
per cent. in their earnings recently. The
cut went into effect July 1 and since that
time they have been working under the
new schedule of prices. This cut in prices
affects all of the cutting, cementing, sew
ing and strap and buckle departments.
The cut was accepted by the various con-
tractors, who were given distin city to I'M
derstand that under no circumstances were
the help under them to be cut in wages in
consequence of the reduction. The reduc-
ton will continue in force for some time
at least and probably for all time. The
contractors have been making from $35 to
$45 per week and the cut is therefore not
so extensive as it would seem to the out
side world.
In order to bring the help in the various
departments more in contact with the firm
it seems to be the policy of the company
to do away with all the contractors and
have the varions departments run by fore
men instead of contractors. There has
been no foreman in the packing depart
ment for over year, the last man to hold
that position being Mr.. John Pardee.
From this fact it is evidently the intention
of the company to in the future do away
with all contractors in the various depart
ments of the shop.
The contractors have all accepted the
cut and are working along under the new
schedule very satisfactorily.
