Potter and Charles F. Walker of Hartford, who were working as carpenters for the railroad company in the depot at the time of the accident. Mrs. Loomis said she remembered meeting these two men soon after her fall, but did not know who they were.

Connecticut Tobacco Crop.

PORTLAND, Conn.,, Aug. 6.-The tobacco crop in this vicinity is in a promising con- dition and the growers are confident that this years yield will be the largest known in many years. The plants appear to be particularly thrifty and are broad leaved and of fine texture. The tobacco worm, which, has raised havoc with the crops during the past fifty seasons, is absent this year. A few of the pests only have been seen. Connecticut tobacco seems to be be- coming more and more in favor among cigar manufacturers.

Gaifney, in his own complacent way,
presented game to Lincoln yesterday
10y four decisions, all of which were
palpably wrong, and any of which was
Sultlclent to give away the game. He
gave Lincoln six runs, and when the
bleachers hOwled, he turned toward
them lat and oily countenance, with
as much expression as a ham, and
sneered greasily. That's the kind OF
man Mr.. Umpire Gaffney is, and the
sooner he is turned DOM and
reduced to the size of ordinary
hired men, the better for the national
game. He gave Lincoln four runs in
the first inning by calling Burkett safe
al second when he was touched out by
two feet, and should have ended the
Inning. He called Go0denOugh out at
third in the ninth. when even Raymond
was surprised at the decision. Because
Hart demonstrated he was Immediately

GatTney gave Wilson a base on balls
that he knew should have been strikes,
and twice afterWard gave men safe at
first when they were clearly thrown out.
There was his record IN one brief game.
Alr. Umpire Gatfney should have his
photograph taken and carry it in his
hat. or should wear looking glass over
from Minneapolis and admire himself.
There was bad playing enough in
the game, in all conscience, and most of

LARKIN BEATS HAGAN
In What Proved Brutal Exhibit

ton Ere the End.
New YORK, May Jimmy Hagan,
Philadelphia crack fighter at 122
pounds, met his first defeat in the prize
ring tonight. Jimmy Larkln, the ia
nous cross-country runner and 122-
pound champion prize fighter of New
Jersey, defeated him in the fourteenth
round. The battle took place be-
fore the members of the Granite
club of Hoboken, an organization
only recently started and composed of
all the influential sports about New
York. The purse was 81 800. The men
entered the ring at 10:45 p. m. Jere
Dunn was referee. Walter Campbell
and Jack Fogarty were the seconds for
the Quaker City lad; Tom Murray and
Jack Hines attended to the wants of
Larkin. The betting was even at the
start. but after a few rounds were
fought it was evident that Hagan had
no chance, and the New i ork and New
Jersey crowd tried to coax the visitors
into gambling at 500 to $50, and finally
at to l. Hagan was trained to hairs
point: Darkin, if anything, was
tribe too fine. 1t was one of the best
battles ever seen in this vicinity, and
the red-paint canvass which covered the
twenty-four-foOt ring was dyed in red
gore at its completion. 1t was give and
take from the very start. After the
fifth round Larkin had everything his
own way. Towards the close of the
encounter Larkin pounded his oppO-
nent all over the ring. 1t was most
brutal exhibition after the tenth round,
and in the last round many of the spec
tatorS had to turn away, the Philadel-
phia lads face being a mass of blood.
he was knocked down nine times in the
last round, and finally. out of pity, the
referee stopped the affair ana declared
Larkin the winner.

The manager of the coming thousand
mile race between Messier and Hart,
which begins in st. Paul next Thursday,
is making everything about the Grand
block as attractive as possible for the
coming event. The track has been COM
pleted, and wOrkmen were busy yester-
day placing the electric lights in posi-
ton and in painting and calcimining,
so that when the race begins it will be
scarcely recognizable, so complete has
been the transformation. In addition to
the main attraction, which will continue
one month, several amateur races are
being arranged for. the principal of
which is likely to be between j. ID. Bod
ford, the East Seventh street jeWeler,
and sailor named jacques. They were
pltted against each other in the Rice
street race in February, and there is in
consequence rivalry, which will make
their contest especially interesting, as it
will be of six days duration, and will
occur during the first week of the race
between MeSSier and Hart.

rolled into center field and Tredwav
went to third. This, together with
the fact that the score stood
balanced, rather took out what little
