LEBANON WINS AGAIN.

The Local Team Makes Errors While
 the Visitors Make Hits and in Con-
 sequence Go Down a Second Time
 Before the Pennsylvania Team-Im-
 mediate Changes to be Made Which
 Will Materially Strengthen the Lo-
 cal Team.
 The disorganized New Haven team met the Lebanons at the Howard avenue grounds again yesterday and were for the second time defeated. None of the pitch CTS of the local team were in condition to play ball and in consequence Manager Burnham was obliged to scurry around in order to secure man to put into the box. Just before the game opened he succeeded in finding Pete Condorf, who had been given trial earlier in the season, and he was accordingly pressed into service and pitched throughout the game. He was 8 little unsteady in the first inning, but soon settled down and put up frst-class arti- cle of ball. The game was lost, but not owing to any fault of Condorf, as after the first inning he pitched winning ball and had he received any kind of ordinary SUD- port the home team would have won the game hands down.
 The loss of the game is directly attribu- table to poor coaching, stupid base run ming, e1ecrable fielding and, in one in- stance, to very rocky decision of Umpire Mccullough, when he called Farrar out in the eighth inning on long fly to Staltz which that player muffed, but the umpire could not see as far as deep center field and Farrar was therefore decided out. Staltz put up an excellent bluff about catching the ball and the bluff worked satisfactorily at least to the umpire and the Lebanon team. The decision meant the loss of at least one run to the local team, as Theisen was on base and FarraR was surely safe on first and after Lally had sacrificed out the next two men were sent to base on balls.
 The fielding of the local team was wretched, Pettee particularly excelling in this respect. It is doubtful if he ever played as poorly as he did in yesterdays game. Any man is liable to make errors but when player deliberately stands six feet of, instead of covering the bag and allows beautifully thrown ball by Sales deliberately stands and looks at it go, nary errors.
 The local team will play against the Troys this afternoon and it is probable that they will put up a better game than they have in the past two days. The Morrison, from Evansville, Ill.,, and he and Chick Hofford may both be present and take part in the game. The team will be materially strengthened within the next few days and from now on will be made to play ball as it should be played.
 The score:

 Side Judge Deming.
 The case of the state against John Schaefer, proprietor of the Seymour house at No. 222 George street for violating the license law on June g, 1890. According to the testimony of the state two young men named William Brown and Collis w. Richardson drove up in front of the house and went in. Officers Taylor, Loughlin, John Moore and Louis Waas saw the two men stop and following in very soon after, saw them standing in front of a cubby hole leading to the pantry upon the shelf of which stood two beer glasses, nearly empty, while one of the men had money in his hand to pay for it. Taking the names of the men, they subsequently, caused Schaefer's arrest.
 For the defense. Brown and Richardson testified that they had not received any beer at Schaefer's, and that they had en- tered the hotel for sandwiches, for which they were waiting for them when the off, cers entered, after which they went out without the sandwiches.
 Schaefer testified that no beer was sold them, although he admitted having sev- eral bottles of beer in his refrigerator which he had secured for his own con- sumptin.
 The jury were out but few minutes when they returned with verdict of not guilty. They took two ballots only. The plaintiff had been fined in the city court by Judge Pickett, from whose decision he appealed.
 Before Judge Deming and jury in the common pleas court room late yesterday afternoon James Carter of Meriden was put on trial for overdriving a horse be- longing to man named Huxley on March 27 last.

The Pembroke.

At the Pembroke hotel at Woodmont- on-the-Sound the season is at it's height and never was more prosperous hotel season known in Woodmont's history. The popularity of the hotel is solidly es, tablished, and it has an enviable reputa- tion for it's excellant management and ad- mirable cuisine department. The cool breezes from either the sound or from the country hills are very conducive to the ap- petites of the guests, which makes the highly palatable dinners very enjoyable. The presence of Senator Hawley and his family, among the many prominent pat rons of the hotel, is 8 centre of interest to all Woodmont visitors. The senator finds Woodmont a fine place to recuperate, as his rotund appearance indicates. A fea- ture of his daily recreation is daily prom enade and romp on the beach with his lit tie one, while his wife enjoys surf bathing, of which she is fond and finds very enjoy able and beneficial. The season has been very profitable at the hotel, which is largely owing to the competent manage ment of MT. F. s. Lawrence, the manager, who is one of the proprietors. Business has been so encouraging that land has re- gently been purchased on which an addi- tion to the hotel is to be erected. Stages that run to the hotel meet all trains that stop at Woodmont.

FIRE IN A LUMBER YARD

Timber Owned by the New Haven
 Saw Mill Company Set Ablaze-Care-
 lessness of Smokers the Cause-On1y
 Slight Damages.
 Fire started in the lumber yards of the New Haven Saw Mill company on lower East street last evening, and before help could arrive blazed up furiously. Two occupants of passing carriage about 6:30 o'clock observed smoke rising from high pile of timber and shouted to the com pany's watchman, who was in the office at the time. Eight minutes later the fire de- partment was called out, and before 7 o'clock the flames had been subdued. The
 wet and still heated wood kept smoldering
 for nearly half an hour longer. It was
 found necessary to take out ten thousand feet of the wood, in order to get at the origin of the blaze, which was at the bot tom of the pile. A layer of blanks about two feet wide and extending down through was badly blackened and charred. The other proportions of the mass were unin-
 jured. The damage will not exceed $10O. It is not known what caused the conha- grafton. The officers of the company think that some person left 8 pipe of lighted tobacco in the neighborhocd. None of the employees are allowed to smoke, however, and at 5:45 when the men quit work, no sign of anything wrong was dis covered. It is believed that one of the
 many idle boys and tramps that infest the yard in spite of the watchman's efforts, gave rise to the blaze through careless in smoking. The wood which was set ablaze was fresh South Carolina pine, variety of timber exceptionally infammable.

FELL FROM A HORSE CAR.
Suffering From Brain Fever Late
 Last Night and Fears For His Re-

Peter Harman,s Skull Fractured Suffering From Brain Fever Late
 Last Night and Fears For His Re-
 covery.
 Peter Harman, an employe of the Sco- vile Manufacturing company, living on Kensington street, met with singular ac cident yesterday. The accident was due largely to his own carelessness, and the fact that he was considerably under the in fuence of liquor at the time. Harman re- ceived his pay at the shop Wednesday night and started off yesterday on a gen eral good time. He collected between employees as subscriptions to a wedding | present to be given to one of their num- | Der who is to be, married in Westville l Monday evening. With this money and what was left of his own wages he went down town and loaded up with bad liq- uor. About o'clock in the afternoon he boarded West Chapel street car to re- turn home. When about half way be- tween York and Park streets the drunken mans attention was attracted by the shouts of some acquaintances from the sidewalk calling him to get off the car. l OD6Y1QR Guo upUl5c oL 0he moment, he jumped off and very foolishly jumped off backward. The momentum of the car threw the man violently to the ground after he had turn. ed half summersault in the air. His head strunk with such terrific force on the pavement that it stunned him instantly and he lay on his back for several minutes stiff and stark as one dead. Efforts to arouse proved unavailing. Fortunately a physician was near, who finally brought the injured man to consciousness by the use of smelling salts. The police ambu- lance was immediately summoned and on it's arrival the man was carried to his home. Within short time after his ar rival at home his condition grew much worse. Profuse hemorrhages started from his mouth, nose and ears. He became de- lirious and dazed by turns. Further ex animation showed bad fracture of the skull above the ear. Everything has beer done to make Harman comfortable, but there are grave fears of a fatal termination l of his unfortunate accident.
