WORLD OF SPORTS,

Tho Waterburys Lose at Meriden
Through Hard Luck.
At Meriden yesterday the Waterburys
were defeated by the score of 5 10 Q,
the Meridens winning the game in the
sixth inning, when they scored four un-
earned runs. Driscoll pitched for the
' wadfer t9 and only six hits We're
batted Carey for eleven hits. Miller's
center field play was one of the features
of the game. The score by innings is as
follows:
Meriden, 0OOO O41 O-5
Waterbury, 900 OO1 1-2
Moses F. Walker, the colored base
ball player of the Waterburys of 1857,
who about two months ago killed Pat
rick Murray, a Syracuse tough, in an
encounter provoked by the dead man,
was acquitted last night. The plea was
self-defence. When the verdict was an
nounced the court house was thronged
with spectators, who received it with a
tremendous roar of cheers, which JUS
tice Kennedy in vain attempted to sup
press. Even when the justice ordered
the sheriff to arrest the offenders
against the dignity of the law there was
no cessation in the demonstration, and
i'm despair the court was adjourned
Walker is the hero of the hour, and.
strangely enough, has the well wishes
of the whole white population, while
the negroes have kept away from him
because of his superiority to most of
them.
The races at the Elm City trotting
park at New Haven yesterday resulted
as follows: The 2:37 class was won by
Little Sport of Meriden, with LADY
Douglas of Cranston r. L., second; best
time 2:344. The 2:20 race was won by
Milan of New Haven, with Morris of
Derby second; best time 2:31a.
The Meridens will play on the West
End grounds tomorrow afternoon.
Yesterdays game at Meriden with the
Waterbnrys Is a fair sample of their
work.
Rogers, the first baseman who had be-
come so popular in Norwich, has
was pay day for the team and Monday
night Rogers silently slipped away. It
is surmlsed he has gone to Massachus-
etts.
In one game this week Shugart, the
last years short stop of the Chicago
players team, knocked out two home
runs and a double. He is one of the
western associations stars. .",
Gentle Willie Murphy is playing with
Norwich. In Saturdays game "Murph"
made two hits, four put outs, one assist
and one error.
Grant has left the Cuban Giants, and
is now with the Harrisburgs, where it is
said he receives 5000 month,
Catcher Quinn of the Syracuse Stars,
has brought libel suit against the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Last week that
paper implicated Quinn in a murder
that was committed at a picnic near
Pittsburg,. stating that Tommy"
Quinn, who. caught for last years
brotherhood team, was locked up at the
station house with several others.
The Waterburys left for Hartford on
the o'clock train, and shortly after
that time telegram was received stat
ing that the grounds were not in con-
dition and that there would be no game.
The telegram was filed in Hartford at
1895 and should have been received
here in time to head off the team.

OBITUARY OF A DOG.
He Had Saved Several Lives, But Was
Fond of His Beer.

He Had Saved Several Lives, But Was
Fond of His Beer.
For the past ten years an old dog
answering to the name of Tom, has been
seen on our streets daily, says the Derby
Transcript. He was a cross between a
pointer and a bull dog and in looks
somewhat resembled a young porker.
This dog was the property of Patrick
McGough of Oak street, and was found
at their door Tuesday morning, dead,
from some unknown cause. In the past
eight years this animal has saved the
lives of three children from drowning
in the Housatonic river and in two cases
went in of his own accord. About four
years ago little Harry Eggleston. son of
Rev Mr. Eggleston, a former pastor of
the Methodist church, but now at Wa
terbury, fell out of boat at the Brinley
house at Indian well while in company
with his sisters, and Tom beipg close at
hand when the boy fell in, went to the
rescue and brought the little lad safely
to shore. The dog was very fond of
beer and was very seldom sober of late.

of the forged check game which has

man, apparently 10 or 90 years of age,
called upon Mr. Ladd and asked him to
cash a check for SIS drawn by Samuel
L.Harris upon the Poquonnock National
bank of Bridgeport. The check was en-
dorsed by James Miller, under which
name tire schemer Travelled, and was
certified by the cashier of the bank. Mr.
Ladd cashed the check. This morning
it was returned to him with a bill of
$2.T5 expenses attached to it. 1t was a
forgery and Mr. Ladd is out of pocket
just $17.75. Mr. Wilson's experience is
CT a somewhat similar nature.

SEWER AND ROAD BOARDS.
Pass Upon Many Matters of Importance
Last Night.

PasS Upon Many Matters OF Importance
Last Night.
The road and sewer boards held their
regular monthly meeting last evening.
In the road board a hearing was given
to the property owners on Wood street
in regard to sidewalks and grading the
street. The estimated cost was $3.50.
Only one property owner objected to
the contemplated improvement.
The city engineer said it would cost
SO, 500 to cover Little brook at the cor
ner of Adams and Hawkins street and
build walls. The report was accepted.
1t was recommended to the court of
common council that Bank street at the
New England road crossing be widened
ten feet in anticipation of the building
of the railroad bridge there and running
the street under.
1t was also recommended that a storm
water sewer be constructed on Hill
street down North Main street to the
Samuel Murfield property and through
the same to Great brook, at an estimated
expense of $500 and $500 for the right
of way.
The board also recommended to the
common council that the matter of
changing the name of Dodds, Burnham
and Meadow Lane streets to Washing
ton avenue, the prayer of the petitioners
be granted.
The street inspector and city engineer
were instructed to proceed with the
work in the matter of Burnham street,
as voted by the council. Several other
minor matters were passed upon.
In the sewer board the city engineer
was instructed to advertise for bids for
the construction of sewers in Welton
and Baldwin streets, bids to be opened
June II. He was also ordered to get an
estimate of the expense for the construc-
ton of a sewer on William street be-
tween East Main and Laurel streets.
The board then adjourned.

After the Rustlers,

Parties who came in from Wyoming
Thursday. brought a rumor of the kill.
ing Of a number of cattle rustlers, one
of whom was Hank Lovett, notorious
character well known In the Hills, and
especially in Custer county. None Of
the details were given however, and
there is really nothing to substantiate
the rumor. The daily papers of the 9Th
and 9TH give an extended account of the
killing of John A. Tisdale and John ?.
Jones, near Buffalo, Wyoming. The
two men were suspected of "rustling"
and were shot down by some unknown
person, who was evidently laying for
them. Frank NJ. Canton, deputy U. S
marshal, and well known and respect
ed citizen Of Wyoming, was charged
with having done the killing. At bis
preliminary examination he proved an
al'bi and was discharged. The VIII ole
affair is a mystery. There is no doubt,
however, that the long suffering stock
men of the northwest have commenced
the determination Of the "Iustlers" who
have been gpowing bolder and more
defiant every year. 1t is said that il is
a movement long contemplated by Ger.
tain protective associations, that it will
be general, that the rustlers in every
locality have been spotted and will be
taken care of without reSortinO to LEGAL
measures.

Petition for Treber's Release.

A petition to be presented to either
the secretary of state or the president of
the United States, as the city council
may see fit, was drawn up by that body
last night, praying for the release of
Councilman John Treber, at present
confined in a German dungeon. The
petition was signed by the mayor and
council. The following resolutions were
also adopted:
Be il resolved by the mayor and city
council of Deadwood, State OF South
Dakota. that we most cordially endorse
the petition hereunto attached and most
urgently request that the government of
the United States TO use all and honor
able means and influence for the release
of Mr.. john Treber, who is member Of
this body. He has been a most exem-
piary citizen and worthy member of
society and an active useful member of
this body. and his arrest and incarcera-
ton by the German Empire only causes
his friends and family distress without
resulting in any benefit TO said govern
ment of the German Empire. There
fore, as n power friendly to the govern
ment Of the United States, the German
Empire can we'll offord to release this,
our citizen. and restore him to his fami-
ly, his private business and public du.
ties connected with this body.

Make the Exhibit.

1t will take at least S250000 to make
such an exhibit as South Dakota de-
serves. The grand new northwestern
commonwealth cannot afford to pend
less than that sum for such purpose
There should certainly be a South Da-
kota building, not shabby shed, but a
handsome. creditable structure adequate
for the display especially of its mineral
and agricultural wealth. 1t need not be
the largest or most imposing building,
but it should be tasteful, and sufficient
for the most careful compilation of South
Dakota specimens and suggestionsl ever
made. What material the exhibitors
have to draw upon! The small grains,
the corn. the wild and tame grasses, the
fruits, the roots, and all the produce Of
the industry and enterprise of the state,
and then the ores and minerals drawn
from the lockers of the mountains of the
western part; with these showing
may be made that will impress the
world which will be at the fair. South
Dakota wants more people. Where can
it catch the eyes of more people than at

The fact that the entertainment Of the
Caster Dramatic Club and the Custer
Band was given j;st the evening before
the CHRoNICLE went 10 press, last week,
and the additional one, that Friday
morning found our space dwindled down
to very few lines, accounts for our
seeming neglect to devote to the work
Of these two organizations the comment
and compliment so richly deserved.
The entertainment. given by local
talent, had long been anticipated with
pleasure by Custer people, and large
audience greeted the appearance of our
dramatic club and band on the evening
Of Thursday, Dec. Srd. Messrs. Willis,
Johnesse, Walsh and Logan, and Misses
Sarah and Lizzie Walsh, Grace John
esse and Maggie richardson, who con-
stituted the cast /. characters in Wood
cocks Little Game" handled their parts
with skill of which more experienced
actors might have been proud, and the
farce was made none the less laughable
by its presentation. The different feat
lures of the musical program were of an
unusually high order. The violin solo
by Mrs, Worden. and the violin duet by
Mesdames Worden and Pitcher were
especially fine and were heartily encor-
ed.
Everyone expected something good
from the band boys, and no one was dis
appointed. The music they rendered was
excellent, and proved beyond question
that the members of our band are work.

ing hard, and that it is rapidly coming
to the front. The entertainment vas
decided success, the people appreciated
it, and will be only too glad to hear that
they may have an opportunity TO attend
another OF like nature in the near
future. Right here the CHRONICLE takes
the liberty to suggest that our local
talent Is capable of handling something
heavier in the dramatic line. Mrs. w /.

matte club, and Prof. II. F. Lake. who
instructed and led the band. are deser-
