HEALTH OF THE STATE.

There Were Nine Hundred and Sew
enty-Seven Deaths Reported During
the Month of June.
The mortality report for June has been
received from 1853 towns in Connecticut
There were 977 deaths reported in the
state during the month. This was 1914 less
than in May; it was SO more than in June,
1890, and 100 more than the average num-
Der of deaths in June for the five years
preceding the present. g.. s.
In the first half Of ttnis year the number
of deaths was 1856 lass than in the first half
of 1890, or 1913 more than the average of
the first half of the five years preceding.
The death rate was 1913 for the larger
towns; for the small towns 1913, and 1873
for the whole state. Waterbury's death
rate was .18 The health of the state as a
whole is considerably improved since the
last month, as estimated by the number of
deaths.
Speaking of the outing season the re-
port says: Our sea coasts and our noun
tains are dotted everywhere with so-called
tshealth resorts" Nevertheless it is fact
too little known that the speculation is Of
ten mimomer. The fact is easily ,estab-
lished that many such places are positive
" dangerous to health, from sheer neglect
of the most essential requisites of health,
namely, pure air and good water. The
evidence of this is seen in the numerous
instances of illness among persons who
return and suffer from some acute infec-
tious disease SO soon after their summer
outing.

A Man Threatens Dire Vengeance
Against His Supposed Successful
Rival.
Officer Ahearn met a man nanged Tom
Simpson on Water street yesterday after
noon, who was armed in a peculiar man
ner. He carried an old-time cavalry
sword and said he was going to cut off the
top of Philip McGivney's head, as well as
make infinitely shorter work of Alice
Webster, woman with whom, it is
claimed, he has been living. The officer
arrested the man, and his formidable
looking weapon was taken from him, but
he was released, as the charge of carrying
concealed weapons would not apply.
Simpson has quite record. He came
to this country from the north of Ireland
some twenty odd years ago, and for time
had a little store for fruit and vegetables on
George street. He lived with woman as
his wife, who later was discarded by him
and now works for Clark & Ives. He left
a wife in Ireland. The number of his
wives, or at least reported ones, becomes
quite large. About twelve years ago he
skipped town to escape charge Of seduo-
ton, and that charge is still hanging
over his head. His latest trouble arises
over jealousy of a woman named Alice
Webster, of whom he has become enamor-
ed. He left town last night. He aroused
considerable interest about the city yester-
day with his big sword.

THE sCULLING MATCH.

The Race Between Nicely & Co.'s
Oarsmen for Cups.
Yesterday turned out to be beautiful
day at Lake Whitney and the postponed
sculling matches between the employees of

first event was the first heat in the single
Junior sculls-one mile--for the ''Thetis"
cup, the entries being as follows: W. S.

tween Patrick Kelleher, bow; Charles
Hayes, stroke; and Charles Shanahan,
bow; Thomas Baker, stroke. The race
and cup were won by Kelleher and Hayes.
The entries in the second heat of the
''Thetis" cup were W. P. Lincoln, Charles
Shanahan, Charles Hayes, John Herman,
Lynch. The 'sNixie'' cup for senior
sculIs-one mile-was contested for by
Patrick Kelleher and Thomas Baker, the
latter winning.
In the final heat for the ''Thetis" cup
Thomas Lynch easily defeated his com
petitors, coming in some four lengths
ahead.
The races were all well contested and
the crowd of fully 500 people who were
in attendance were well rewarded for
their coming.
The starters, umpires aud timekeepers
were William Malley, g. D. Cass and N.
Reilly and the judge was Thomas McGrail.

Syracuse Withdraws.

The Syracuse team of the Eastern associ-
alton has disbanded leaving vacancy in
the ranks of the league. The club, though
playing good ball, has not been properly
supported by the public, and the season 30
far has not been a success financially. The
dropping out of the Syracuse club will not
materially effect the stability of the league,
as meeting of the association will be at
once called and steps taken to place an
other city in the circuit. Applications
have already been received from several
cities, among which are Toronto and
Utica, and at the meeting of the associa-
ton the former of these two cities will
undoubtedly be selected to fill the vacancy.
The Toronto club is in frst-class shape
and has ground and financial backing
second to none at present in the assoeia-
ton. The dropping out of Syracuse is no
surprise to the members of the association,
as it was an open secret that the club has
been in shaky condition for some weeks
past. In the event of Toronto not coming
up to the scratch Utica stands ready to
take place in the league, and the season
viii be continued uninterruptediy.
