Baseball Game SATURDAY..

A great game was played Saturday at
the Howard avenue grounds. It was be-
tween the Ottenheimer Bros factory team
and team from Pfeghar's.
The Pfeghar team held the game up to
the ninth inning, at the opening of which
the score stood IA to Z. The Ottenheimer
team then took batting streak and batted
out eight runs, making the score Is to ID
in favor of the "Otts."
Barrett pitched an excellent game for
the ''Otts," but was not well supported.
he is good pitcher and deserved better
team. Heery's good playing at center field
was also of the superb order.

NEW YORK. July 80.
In the stock market to-day after a moderately
firm opening prices yielded slowly and the final
changes except in one or two stocks were for the
unusual insignificant fractions. Brokers reported
some increase in the outside demand and Lon
don had some buying orders in the market,
which, however, amounted to only 5000 shares
or less. The stocks which did not receive sup
port, st. Paul and Atchison, were held fairly
steady, but fiuctuated within narrow limits

feature.

Some Pertinent Questions.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Some of the citizens of Howard avenue
and vicinity would like to have two ques-
lions answered by those in authority; and
one of these residents; self delegated, now
propounds them through the columns of
your excellent paper.
First, when shall we have the privilege
of boarding the street car, electric, horse,
or any other kind, at our doors, instead of
being compelled to walk these scorching
days to the bridget
Some one has said "there Is a time when
patient ceases to be q virtue" and for
one think that time has arrived for the
"Oyster Point" people In the matter of
street railway service.
Some of US think "Oyster Point" the
most beautiful part of the city, and all 1t
lacks to be developed is tho completion of
this street.car line. Year after year we have
waited. We have looked forward to one
date, then another, then another, until
our hope has been SO long deferred that
we have been made sick of waiting. The
| through cars to Savin Rock are so greatly
crowded that there Is no room3 for the
| people of the city proper. If the electric
cars cannot be put on Immediately, lie,
| the management put on city ''horse" cars
running at proper intervals from the green
| to Oyster Point.
Second, who owns "Oyster Point park,
the bathing privileges of the park proper
ty, etc.-the city, the public, or so-callec
watch man, policeman or minor official witt
high officials bearing minus his judg
ment?
| It is claimed that the whole bathing
privilege of the park is under the privat
control and for the private interest of ONT
individual, hence said individual does q
his humor suggests. Is it the proper thini
for the city's, the peoples, money to b
spent to benefit the public in the way of
park and then for the city to grant q pr
vate individual absolute control for privat
gainsa
Ought there not to be public bathin
houses on the park property free to tn
public uses There are bathing privilege
on Oyster Point park property exoelled b
none near the city if the s'fathers" woul
build houses and invite the people to US
them and be benefited thereby.
Let the street cars start Immediately
let the park, bathing privileges, etc., b
developed as soon as possible and on
scale to benefit the people, and Oyste
Point will be developed as never before
and will become an ornament to our beat
| tiful city, CITIZEN.

the clearings of July this and last year are

GENERAL STATE NEWS.
SUED A DEAD WOMAN,


At trial before Justice hobbs this week,
says the Bridgeport Standard, the startling
discovery was made that a suit had been
instituted against woman who had been
dead for ten years. It was the case of w.
81. Marshall against Seth Knapp and wife,
and the town clerk was served with a no
tice that the property of Mr.. and Mrs.
Knapp was under attachment.
The case is peculiar one and already
several hearings have been held. Last
erly owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Knapp on
Park avenue. Two years ago, however,
Mr.. Knapp sold his interest in the place
to his two daughters, who had inherited
their mothers share.
Mr.. Marshall was notified early in the
spring that it was the intention of the own
ers to shortly remodel the house and build
an addition to it. Attorney Chamberlain,
at least, claims that such notice was
given them, and that needless of this warn
Ing Mr.. Marshall planted produce close to
the old homestead. When the time arrived
for the improvements to be commenced
Mr. Marshall was told he could remain in
the house, but the new portion would be
erected on the ground above which his pro-
duce was just beginning to make its ap-
pearance.
The tenant was angry, however, and re-
| moved to another house in the neighbor-
hood. His garden was dug up in order to
make room for the foundation of the new
portion, and all his labor was thus thrown
away. For the damage he claims 500.
| Mr.. Chamberlain appeared before JUS
tice Knobs yesterday in behalf of Mr..
Knapp. He said his client did not own
the property when it was occupied by Mr..
Marshall, and that the only land Mrs.
Knapp owned was a small plot in the Gem
etery. The attorneys for Mr.. Marshall, il
is now understood, will institute suit
against Mr.. Knapp's daughters.

den to have the people deprived of the us
of the cars. The opinion seems to be tina
if it were question of wages it would b
different, but where it is question of on
man tying up a road 1t certainly is gros
injustice to the people, which could hav
| been averted by a little diplomacy on bot
. sides.

Vessels Making Port Resemble
 Masses of Ice.
THE uMBRIA FOUR DAYS OVERDUE

Thought That She Has Gone Out of Hel
 passes of a Bremen Steamer Frozen
 and the Captain Obliged to Make Hi
 Course by the Stars.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Incoming steam ships report fierce storms and bitter cole weather at sea. Every vessel that comes into port is a mass of ice from water linS to masthead. Several steamships had deck work smashed and members of the crew frostbitten.
 The tramp steamship Laurestana, from Bremen, Dec. 3, came in with deck and side, covered with ice two feet thick in places and with huge icicles hanging from her yards. Her captain says the weather was so severe that all three of the ships compasses froze in their alcohol baths and he was obliged to make his con: uy the stars.
 When the particulars of his tempestu. ous voyage were made known many old Beamen hurried to his vessel to inspect the compasses which had broken all records and refused to work in a hurri- cane. The brass instruments were lying on the table of Captain Gavin's cabin, coat of ice topping the head of each. The steering compasses, of which there were two, were still caked with ice, while the standard compass was just thawing out.
 The Prins Mauritz, from Venezuelan ports, met hurricane Ion December 24. A high cross sea broke over the vessel and masses of water were frozen by the in- tense cold until the ship was floating mass of ice. The deck railings Were broken, and the rigging damaged.
 The steamship Archimedes, from St. Lucia, was covered with icicles. Several of the crew had hands and feet frozen.
 The City of Berlin also met the hurri- cane. She was over eleven days making the passage. The steamship Croft came in six days late from Leith.
 The tramp Strathleven, which started from this port Sunday for China, put back yesterday to readjust her cargo of case oil.
 Ordinarily, the Cunard steamship Um- bria, Captain Mckay, is due here Sat urday.
