 There was one team in the game between | Israel Putnam and Pyramid lodges, A. O.U. | w., which was played at the Howard ave- nue grounds yesterday afternoon. That was Pyramid lodge. The Israel Putnam aggregation participated in the contest by courtesy of their opponents only. They were outclassed from sfart to finish, and were defeated by the score of to 3. There have been better games and games which were witnessed by larger crowds at the Howard avenue grounds this season, but for enthusiasm and roofing yesterdays contest has the call without any doubt. The Pyramid men were massed in the mid dle section of the grand stand, while the Israel Putnam forces occupied seats on the right. On the field the teams struggled for base ball supremacy.

 Ten-Year-Old Annie Conroy is Ar r-.s rested-Her Mother Implicated. ;
 Sad revelations came out yesterday in the cases of ten -year-old Annie Conroy and her mother. About week ago story was printed in the COURIER of little ten year-old girl exhibiting roll of bills at Woolsey school. The teacher took the money from her and the child's mother came and claimed it, saying that it was the remains of $27, which she had saved to pay interest due on her mortgage. The mother got the money, which was SIS. About the same time Mrs. Mcguire of Clay !. street missed $15, which she had in her closet. Some persons had; seen Annie around the house, but Mrs. Mcguire had not She complained at the Grand avenue precinct and Sergeant McGrath was de- tailed to work up the case. He heard the story of little Annie Conroy and brought her over.
 Sergeant McGrath thought that the case had some connection with Mrs. Maguire's money. He thought that by soaring Annie she would bring out definite story, so he brought her over to the precinct. Annie broke down on the way and told the truth. She said that her mother lied, and she also said that the money was Mrs. Maguire's, and that she spent $2 at the 5 and 10 cent store. She told the same story at the pre- cinct, end Captain O'Keefe placed the facts before Attorney Daley for his action. The police say it appears that the mother not only took advantage of this theft, but upheld her daughter in others. Annie has been in the habit of entering houses and ransacking garrets. When complaints were made to her mother the people who complained were driven from the house. Mrs. Conroy lives at 36 Haven street, and has always been thought respectable.

 ship Unchanged.
 A topic of the day yesterday about town was the sale of the West Haven and Win chester avenue horse railroads announced yesterday morning. As to the reports in the afternoon papers that the syndicate has bought the State street and Whitney avenue horse railroads, investigation last evening showed that the reports were er- roneous. President Blatchley of the State street road said last night that the reported sale of the two last named roads was incorrect. No sale had been made to the syndicate or to anyone. Directors c. A. Warren and W. J. Atwater, who were seen earlier in the day, said the report was doubtless 8 canard.
 Nr. Blatchley said that it was true thai overtures had been made for the purchase of the roads, and considerable talk had been had on the subject but nothing had resulted therefrom and the two roads were owned as before -.-.
