SEEKING TO BE JURORS.
Connecticut Men On the Lookout F.
 $2 Day.

$2 Day.
 Connecticut people have their eyes out for the main chance every time. The other afternoon a respectable look ing man called in the office of promi- nent New Haven lawyer and asked the latter's influence to help get h!s name on the jury list. He explained that as there was likely to be dull summer he thought he could eke out by the $2 a day which the jurors obtain. The law yer told him that he did not have any influence in that way and did not think that he would exert it if he had.. The man went jauntily away to seek other influence to help make him juror.
 It is said there are several men in New Haven who fully appreciate the great honor and advantage of being made jurors. When the Malley trial was going on in 1882, and James and Walter Malley and Blanche Douglass were placed on trial, charged with the murder of Jennie Cramer, there was a juror selected who was by both sides promptly rejected. It was hinted that the man remarked that his place would be worth more than $2,000, and per haps $3,000 before the lengthy trial was over. It was an unfortunate remark for the man to make, and he was dropped very suddenly, and his name has not, from that day to this, been called as a juror in any case, civil or criminal in New Haven.

A Rescuer Clutched By the Ears By a
 Drowning Boy.
 While Captain Updyke and Frank Carter, the latter young boy, were crossing the river at Birmingham yes terday, Carter fell overheard from the boat. Updyke grabbed Carter as he was going down for the last time, and as he did so young Carter clutched the cap tain's ears in death grasp, and nearly pulled them off. Carter did not release his grip until he was ashore. Updyke was terribly lacerated.
 Mrs John Nichols and daughter of Cos Cob were thrown from their carriage yesterday by a runaway horse. Mrs Nichols was internally injured, but the daughter escaped unharmed.
 William Carmody of Bridgeport, aged 16 years, was fooling around an eleva- tor Tuesday evening, when his legs be- came caught between the guard doors and the corner of the elevator, and be- fore he could be eXtricated carpenters had to cut away parts of the elevator and the well in order to release him.
 John L. Somers, a painter residing in Bridgeport, sprained his leg several days ago while playing lacrosse. Since then the member has acted very strangely and any sudden movement twists the lower part of the leg almost completely around in the knee socket. Somers has tried several means to keep the limb in position, but without success.
 A oung man entered New Haven cigar store yesterday, bought package same behind the counter and while search was being made for it walked off with satchel containing $97. He has not been seen since.

Mad Dog in old Lyme.

A mad dog created great deal of ex- citement about the streets of Old Lyme, yesterday. The animal made it's appear ance on Main street of the village about sunset, coming from the direction of Saybrook. The animal frothed at the muzzle and gave other ample evidences of it's madness. It was given all the ing for shelter by the people ensued. When it reached the Black Hall district it attacked and severely bit young daughter of John Thompson, who hap pened to be playing along the roadside. The dog was shot shortly after.

FOUND DEAD IN THE BATH ROOM.
Mrs AdeIlne Perry Asphyxiated by Gas Last Night.

Last Night.
 This morning about 6 o'clock the family of Andrew McClintock, residing on the second floor of the residence No 13 Central avenue, were awakened by the odor of escaping gas. They examin- ed their part of the house carefully, but could discover no leakage. On going to the tenement below, occupied by Mrs Adeline Perry and her daughter, the stench became more noticeable. Tapping on Mrs Perry's door the daughter an swered and began search for the leak. On going to her mothers room she found the latter missing. The bath room door was next opened aud there seated was Mrs Perry, her head thrown sideways on to the wash stand. On | trying to arouse her it was found that | life was extinct. The gas was turned on full. How long Mrs Perry had been there was impossible to tell Medical Examiner North was summoned and pronounced death due to asphyXiation. The members of the family say that Mrs Perry, with the McClintock family, spent pleasant evening in Mrs Perry's apartments last night, she retiring to rest at half past nine. They believe that she entered the bath room and turned on the gas but be- fore she could apply the light was taken W ith fainting spell, to which she was subject, and no help being near was overcome and suffocated by the deadly fumes. Mrs Perry was 61 years tion. Since the death of her husband, ex-County Commissioner George F. Perry, about d year ago, she has lived quietly with her daughter. The cir cumstances of the case all point to the manner of death as accidental.

CAMP DIVORCE CASE.
Testimony Showing That Camp Was
 Once a Model Husband.

Testimony Showing That Camp Was
 Once Model Husband.
 The Camp divorce case was resumed in New Haven to-day. The deposition of Mary A. Norton was read, showing the manner in which MT and Mrs Camp lived prior to Ed Camp becoming ac- quainted with Mrs Pearsall. The deposI- ton stated that Camp was a most af- fectionate husband, and often helped his wife to wash dishes, carry in clothes, ,etc. The deposition oe Mrs Charles H. Shep- ard was substantially the same.
 MT Camp, the defendant in the case, is tall, spare man, dark complexioned, bald headed and wears a slight grey moustache and goatee. He listens to all the testimony without any embarrass- ment, but Mrs Pearsall at times bushes when some of the testimony is introduced.
 Attorneys O'Neill and Kellogg had a tilt lasting an hour and half over the admission of evidence in regard to Mrs Pearsalrs character. The judge de clared that he would not rule out the evidence nor would he admit it without further consideration. Attorney O'Neill declared that Mrs Pearsall was a notorious woman and produced copies of Waterbury papers of twenty years ago containing serious charges against her.

 In the last twenty-five games Connor has struck out seventeen times. In no game this season has he struck out more than once.
 Yesterdays Connecticut league games resulted as follows: At Portland, New Britain 2, Portland 2; at Meriden, Meri- den 12, Bristol 1.
 The Bridgeport Farmer says that a wrestling match for $500 side has been arranged between John Foley of Water bury, and William Tracey of Bridge port. Each party has forfeit up. The style is to be catch-as catch-can, best three out of five and the contest will occur wit hin few weeks at some place not yet selected.
 Dispatches and letters continue to reach Winsted relativeH'o "professionar' base ball. But it may be said, once for all, that professional team will not locate there this summer. The time for that, this season, has passed. This from the Ansonia Sentinel of yesterday: The funny business played | by the Cuban Giants in Ansonia and Derby has nearly disgusted the people with base ball, and they have about con- cluded to let the league go to Halifax SO far as they are concerned. The Cuban Giants were to play here to-day, and a telephone message from Secretary Thomas, of the league, asking if they were here, shows that he is not in- formed of their change of date. He further says that if the Giants drop out of the state league he will put a first class nine here to take their place, and base ball lovers will have all the games they want the remainder of the season.
 There is talk of having a series of games between the Waterburys, the Co G team, the Acmes and possibly the Rose Hill Hose company team. Such a series would create an interest in base ball and would draw crowds if any, | thing would. All the amateur teams in | town have a notion that they can put up as good ball as the Waterburys and test of this idea would interest the ball cranks of Waterbury.
 Evidently the State league is on it's last legs. The Hartford team will dis band after to-day's game, and a dis patch from Portland states that seven of the men were paid off and released last night. When the season opened there was $500 in the Portland treasury; now there is nothing.
 A CHALLENGE.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 I hereby issue a challenge for the Rogers & Brother base ball team, to play any shop team in the city for any part of $100. Arrangements can be made at the East End Democratic club rooms any evening.
 Respectfully, W. H. HOGAN, Manager.
