WORLD OF SPORTS.

Perry Werden of st Louis leads the
first basemen. He has made one error
in twenty games.
Miller of the Pittsburgs is the only
catcher in the league that leads off a
batting list.
The AGNES have issued challenge to
the Naugatucks to play a game for $1OO
side, on labor day.
Here is pointer for the prophets: In
the first league season Brooklyn, which
finished second by close shave, led the
league in batting, run-getting and bases
stolen. The team also received the
greatest number of bases on balls, and
was second in sacrifice hitting.
Provided he will accept, Arson is said
to be willing to sign Tom Burns again.
1t is thought, however, that Burns will
refuse to accept any offer for fear that
it would prejudice his suit against the
Pittsburgh club for breach. of contract.
The AGNES will have a benefit game
on the West End grounds next Monday
with the Cuban Giants.
Burrill of the Woonsockets has the
catcher's record of the country for '92.
He has not missed championship game
this season.
The team that takes the lead in the
present race and holds it for any length
of time will have reason to feel proud.
The entire II teams are playing ball ia a
way calculated to make an aspiring pen
nant winner feel weary.-Chicago Mail.

The Horse Rai|rad and the
Workingman,

Kelly says the workingmen of this city
will now have an opportunity to tell
which political party in our city govern
ment is the friend of the workingman.
The horse railroad in their desire to use
electricity as a motive power, are asking
the city to grant them concessions which
will add greatly to their already valuable
franchise. If these concessions are to be
granted to the railroad, then the people of
this city, and especially the workingmen,
should be entitled to concessions that
would be equally valuable TO themselves.
One important concession should be that
the workingman should secure reduced
fare on week days to and from work. 1t
lies with the common council, which is
now republican, to secure the adoption of
this concession, and therefore the work
ingman may watch with interest the out
come.

day, at o'clock, some clothes hang
ing over the stove fell, setting the kitch-
en- on fire, which burned considerably
before being put out. Fortunately there
was running water in the dining room,
which with three-quarter inch hose

the blaze, about the time the town ap.
paratus arrived. The family became
frightened and moved out a large por-
ton of their furniture. The damage is
about 500.
The members Of Naugatuck Hose
company would appreciate any fancy

Saturday, was not only an elegant COM
edy but was performed by artists of
high merit. There is a vein of humor
throughout the play that will delight
any audience. Miss Wolcott, who plays
the wife, with one exception was the
| finest singer we have ever heard in the
opera house. Her solo alone was worth
the price of admission.
There were three arrests for drunken
ness at Union City late on Saturday
night. A boy was also arrested there
yesterday who pleaded guilty of stealing
$50 from his parents at Brookfield. He
had SIT left.

w. A. Dixon, trainmaster of the
western division of the New York &
New England road, has been retired and
G. H. Norton has been appointed his
successor. The change went into effect

formerly conductor on the eastern di,
vision of the road.
The extension of the Providence and
Springfield division of the New York &
New England road from Pascoag to
East Thompson is to begin at once. The
distance is seven and one-half miles.
The new route from Worcester to Provi-
dence will thus be secured.
Superintendent Cross of the New York
& New England road says in recent
order that while riding over the road he
has noticed several tramps in the freight
cars and warns conductors that no ex-
cuse will be taken for allowing the
knights of the road to ride.

A PURE CONFIDENCE GAME,


ny Which the Republicans Hope Ia

The whole cry Of wildcat" money Is
confidence game.
BY it the Republicans hope to play on
the fears Of the ignorant and thought
less. Those whom they can not brighten
they hope to buy while the Democratic
leaders are of their guard.
It Is right in line with the history Of
Republican methods.
In 1884 the Republicans told the
workingmen wages would be reduced
II Cleveland was elected. Cleveland
was elected and during his administra-
ton wages everywhere advanced.
In 1888 the Repu blicans said il Harri-
son was elected wages would advance.
Harrison was elected and wages have
everywhere declined; strikes and lock-
outs have been more numerous than
ever.
In 1884 the Republicans told the SOL
diers II Cleveland was elected pensions
would cease. More pensions were
granted during Cleveland's term than
during the term Of any other presi dent
and Cleveland signed more pension bills
than all the Republican presidents put
together.
In 1888 Republicans promised the SOL
diers service pensions II Harrison was
elected. Harrison was elected and

The Dispatch says:
''The photographic pross is expected to

state will be flooded with representations
of the sncient state bank currency and the
smart Republican will distribute them
with the truly awful warning: There;

pains will be taken to see that 1t gets
into the hands Of German voters, who

view with great suspicion any menace

money. This is expected to counteract
the work Of Carl Schurtz and the dis
affection Of the German vote in Illinois
and other western states occasioned BY
the parochial school question. 1t will
be worked as no campaign device has
ever before been worked in this country
and is expected to make thousands Of
votes"
Continuing The Dispatch asks:
"Can any Democrat, in the light Of
his party's history on the money ques-
ton, party that has always stood for a
safe and honest currency, be turned
from his allegiance by such trick? Can
