NEW HAVEN STILL WINNING.

The Excellent Work of the Local
 Team Defeats Albany in a Close and
 We'll Played Game-The Contest for
 Second Place in the Race Becoming
 Very Excfting-Morrison to Pitch in
 To.day's Game.
 One of the prettiest games of the season was that of yesterday between the local team and Captain Orchards Albany Gi- ants. It was game struggle from start to finish, and it was not till the last man was retired in the last inning that anyone could feel assured that the victory be- longed to the home team. The contest
 was marked by generally clean fielding,
 both teams being credited with but two CT
 TOTS during the entire game. Horner and
 Devlin were in the box for their respect
 i've teams, and in consequence of their
 strategic manipulation of the sphere the
 hitting was comparatively light.
 The local men are again playing ball and making a gallant fight to retrieve their lost prestige. tChick" Hofford has proved himself a tower of strength to the
 team and since his return, the games have
 been played with more dash and vim than | has been seen among the local players for
 many day. The game the team is now putting up is worthy of the heartiest sup | port of the base ball loving public and
 it is to be hoped that they will turn out
 and support the team in the way its play ing deserves. Nothing encourages a
 team to play good ball more than large
 attendance and vice versa nothing is more disheartening than to play before the meagre number of spectators which have attended the games since the return of the club from its recent trip. Let everyone who has the | interest of the team at heart in this city
 turn out and encourage the boys to play their best. The contest for second place in the race is most interesting one, and will continue to remain so for the balance
 of the season. Less than twenty points | stand between the local team and second place, and if they can but continue their good work of the past few days, the end
 of the week may find them in that much l coveted position.
 The Albany team plays here again this afternoon, when Morrison, the new pitch or of the local team, will make his first ap- pearance in the box in this city and Prick | en will pitch for the visitors If the home team win again to day they will be | in third place in the race, and by winning both games from Syracuse tomorrow and
 next day will again be in second place
 Turn out and encourage the team by a
 large attendance and generous applause te get there.
 The local men scored their first run il | the first inning yesterday. Carroll made $ | hit, was advanced to second on passed
 ball and scored on Farrar's timely single | No more runs were scored until the lucky eighth inning, when Carroll again led of
 with a single and by lively sprinting came home from first base on Farrar's two-bag ger. Old reliable Joe Sommer then sent | Farrar across the plate by a nice single | and the game was won.
 The visitors scored their only run in the | fifth inning, when Baeder was presented | with first and second base by an over throw of Horner and shortly after trottei
 home on Willie two-bagger.

Sprfngfleld-MayorS Sargent and B. G.
 NorthrOp.
 The Springfield Republican, in local article headed "An Outside Vieew of For est Park" says:
 B. G. Northrop, the expert on tree cul- ture, who recently gave an address before the Improvement association, has com munication in the New York Tribune, which is devoted to description of For est parks, which he says is deservedly at tracing great attention from other towns and cities. MT. Northrop says that he suggested the recent visit of Mayor J. B. Sargent of New Haven and Henry T. Blake. It was surprise to these visitors to find 'sso near the center of the city such tract of unoccupied land, so secluded and so unique in all it's features, as if created and reserved for this purpose, with it's great variety of hills and dales, it's long and narrow, deep ravine and numer- ous lateral ravines,i it's many springs (over 100 we were told) and central brook and charming little lakes" MT. Northrop says that the improvements recently made are marked by severe taste; there is true art on every hand, but it is of the highest kind, which conceals art. The sheltering pavilion as model of rustic architecture was much admired by Mayor Sargent. Moreover, when Mir. Northrop said to Or rick H. Greenleaf, "You must feel happy in having initiated this work, ;" he replied, "Yes, have taken far more pleasure in seeing so many people enjoy these grounds than could possibly have done in the pri- vate use of the same amount of money.o MT. Northrop speaks also of the recent additions to the park, especially that given by MT. Barney, whom he knew we'll in boyhood. MT. Northrop further says of the donor:
 Two years ago I found him sadly de- pressed by great bereavement; to-day he was radiant and sunny and happy as he and we all admired among his latest plant ings 2,O00 rhododendrons, 5000 mountain laurel, 2,000 roses in one bed and seven ponds covered with aquatic plants, includ- ing 2,00O lotus plants now in bloom, ,Egyp- tian, American and two varieties of Japan | csc. Such a variety of acquatic plants have nowhere else seen. MT. Barney's work in this line is only begun, and, though all at his own expense, it is bring ing him fresh vigor and great enjoyment, and seems likely to add years to his life. The New Haven committee felt that the day had not only been one of rare enjoy ment, but had furnished ideas and sugges- tions of practical value in their home work. As they seemed so grateful for the advice that brought them here, venture to repeat the same invitation to all who are interested in the improvement of parks, at least in our smaller cities.

HENRY B. GRAVES DEAD. He Was a Leading Litchfield County
 Lawyer and Legislator.

LITcHFIELD, Aug. 11.-Hon. Henry B. Graves, one of the leading lawyers of the Litchfield county bar, died at his residence here last night at 10 o'clock in the sixty ninth year of his age. He was born in Sherman, Fairfield county, and was ad- mitted to the bar in 1945. He was clerk of the state senate in 1S49 and executive secretary to Governor Dutton in 1854. He represented his town in the legislature eight times and many of the existing stat utes were drafted by him. Among the laws which he was particularly instrumental in securing is that to prevent fraud in the sale of patents.
 Mir. Graves first wife was daughter of Governor Dutton. His second wife, who survives him, was daughter of Captain Smith of Morris. The deceased leaves two daughters by his first marriage and one by his second to mourn his loss. The cause of death was congestion of the lungs.
 The funeral will take place Thursday af- ternoon at 2:30 o'clock from St. Michaers Episcopal church.

The Work of a Careless Switchman
 Causes the Wreck of a Depot and
 Heavy Damage to Rolling Stock.
 NoRwALK, Aug. 11.-A bad smash-up occurred this morning on the Housatonic road at Sanfords. The fast freight which left Wilson's Point early in the morning for Danbury was derailed by an open switch near the Sanfords depot. Engine No. 31, in charge of Engineer Ferris, was drawing heavily loaded freight for Dan bury and when within few feet of San lords station he discovered that his train had left the main track and was run on to spur track on which were two freight cars. He reversed his engine, but the mo- mentum was so great that he could not stop the train and the engine crashed into the two freight cars and drove them com pletely through the station. The depot was completely demolished, there not being enough of it left to make respectable bon fire. The two freight cars were also en- tirely demolished and the engine was piled up on top of them.
 The switch was carelessly left open, caus- ing the accident. No one was injured. The engineer and fireman jumped.

THAT BRANFORD DISASTER.

 The Investigation Awaits enjanin's
 Recovery.
 The officials of the Consolidated road understand that the injured trainmen who were disabled by the accident at Branford will be out by the end of the week, when the investigation will be continued and a finding reached. Neither Benjamin nor his brakeman was hurt by jumping, but got their injuries from the crowd of angry Italians who fell upon them in the midst of the wreck. Benjamin is still confined to his bed and was feeling rather worse yesterday, which was probably, it was thought, owing to the intense heat of the weather. Fireman Sheppard, who was less injured. was improved yesterday. The brakeman who came to the engineers res cue when the latter was attacked by the Italians, is able to be about the house, nursing his various severe bruises.
