 Exeitement-The Ffremen and the
 Memorial Day Parade.
 The ball game Saturday afternoon be- tween the Meroantiles of New Haven and the Wallingfords on the Athletic asso- citation grounds was deserving of larger attendance, as there was only small num- Der present to witness the game. The yis- itors scored two runs in the first inning by errors, but failed to add too their score in the remaining eight innings, as the bat ters found Casey's swift curves to much of 8 puzzle to solve. The local team after the first inning settled down to business and played @ strong game throughout and fin ished the winners by a score of 9 to 3. The battery work of Casey and Gardner was frst-class, and George Gardner at first base was tower of strength. DeMills at cen- ter field played great game and made two running catches that received deserv- ing applause. 'Cod" Taylor in left field took in all that came into his territory and the other members of the nine done good work, both in fielding and at tho bat. The score in detail is as follows:

 BIRMINGHAM, May 15.-There is more interest taken in the coming campaign by both political parties than has been manifested here in a mum. Der of years. While most of the republicans, that is the workers, favor Blaine, Harrison has no few admirers. The younger members of the "good old party" have commenced to work and will in few days have arepublican club formed, which is sure of good suppors: While the the younger men seem to be the workers here, the older gentlemen of the party arc giving them whatever help is possible, and the help of such well-known men as J. D. Dayton, the Chance brothers, I. P. Howe and many others is very en- couraging.

CAUGHT GERMAN CARP.
How They Got Into Whitney Lake
 Tame Carp by the Thousands.

How They Got Into Whitney Lake
 Tame Carp by the Thousands.
 William H. Gebelein and Albert Hodger caught last week at Lake Whitney four German carp weighing 19e pounds. The largest fish weighed 54 pounds. These carp are supposed to have found their way into the lake from Davis' stock pond at the time the dam broke several years ago. The Davis pond is close to the lake, about across the lake from the Whitney vile Congregational church. Several hundred carp escaped into the lake when the dam broke, some large some small. Since then carp have been caught at times in Lake Whitney. One boy caught one not long since which weighed pounds. In MT. Davis' pond carp are to be seen by the thousand. They are very tame and will eat bread out of Mir. Davis hand MT. Davis buys stale bread by the bushe to feed them with. They come in great shoals the moment Mir. Davis throws pieces of bread in the water and vii congregate as fast at the feeding place as the young folks do at No. S's engine house when the bell strikes for fire, out O.
 school hours. Mir. Davis and his family have always treated the carp so kindl. that they will allow members of the famil..
 to pick them out of the water and pc
 them, knowing that they are sure to ge | back into the water all right.

The Father ofNIany Ills,

Constipation leads to multitude of physical troubles. It is generally the re- suit of carelessness and indifference to the simplest rule of health. Eugene Mckay of Brantford, Ont, writes:
 'I had for several years been sufferer from constipation, had taken great many different remedies, some of which did me good for time, but only for time, then my trouble came back worse than ever. I was induced by friend, whom Bran- dreth's Pills had benefited, to try them. Took two each night for week, then one every night for about six weeks. Since that time I have not experienced the slightest difficulty whatever, and my bow els move regularly every day. I believe firmly that for sluggishness of the bowels and biliousness Brandreth's Pills are far superior to any other"

FIRENIEN ENJOY THEMSELVES.

A Very Pleasant occasion at No. 5's | Engine House-A Regular Shore i Dinner Served-An Unqualified Suc- cess-Those Present.
 When the men at engine house No. 5 start in to do anything they never do 1t by halves and for this reason it has come to be an acknowledged fact that whenever any entertainment of any sort Is arranged by them every one who is fortunate enough to secure an invitation is positively certain of having good time and they have never been disappointed. Saturday nights festivities at the Fair Haven fire headquarters were no exception to this rule. For this occasion the men had ar ranged clam and oyster supper and had extended invitations to ex-Chief Hen drick, Chief Kennedy, Fire Marshal Hub bard, Superintendent of Fire Alarm Tele- graph Smith, Captain Hurley of steamer 4, John H. Leeds, Commissioners Clark, Wines, Andrews, Mcdonald, Casariego. l Stannard and a few other guests. It is | needless to say that all the invitations were promptly accepted and most enjoy able time participated in by all. | IrOnpGly aU S:oO OclOck LILO noA oA CAAo company and invited guests sat down at long table spread at one end of the engine house and which fairly groaned from the weight of the quantities of clam chowder, steamed clans, steamed oysters, salads, fruit, and cake and coffee, with which 1t was laden. From this on until @ late hour the fun ran fast and furious, and the quan- titles of edibles which disappeared would have led anyone to believe that all hands must have been fasting for at least a week in anticipation of the event. Such was not the case, however, but it is always fact that when anyone witnesses 6

 Games-Standing of the Clubs-NOtes
 Notwithstanding the cold and stormy weather of Saturday fully 600 cranks as- sembled on the Howard avenue grounds and saw the home team defeat the strong Troy club in a close and exciting game by the score of 5 to 3. Gruber was in the box for the home team and pitched in ex- cellent form. That he was "Wells" sup ported behind the bat goes without saying. The latter's work with the stick was the feature of the game. Sullivan pitched for the visitors, and though not hit hard was far from effective, being very wild at criti. | cal points of the game. Jones gave about the worst exhibition of umpiring ever seer in this city, in almost every instance tht home team receiving the worst end of tho decisions. The spectators loudly jeerec him for his work. The features of tn. game was the batting of Wells and Murphy and the fielding of Blansfeld. Weathe,

The Funeral of John ID. RradIev.

The Funeral of John ID. Bradley.
 The funeral of the late John D. Bradley took place from the house of his brother, w. J. Bradley, No. IT Vernon street, at 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon, Rev. MT. Toles of the Methodist church officiating. A large number of sorrowing friends were present to pay the last sad tribute of af- lection and respect to their friend and brother. The bearers were Judge J, P. Studley, l.. D. Chidsey, ex-Aldermen F. .. Bushnell, Police Commissioner John A. Platt, Herbert E. Benton, and Council man Frank E. Hum; Collectoro of the Port A. Ii. Kellam had charge of the services. Among many beautiful flowers sent were floral pieces by the Republican league and by the West End Fishing club, of whom MT. Bradley was member. The house was filled to overfowing with relatives and friends. The interment took place in the Grove street cemetery. The deceased was a warm hearted true friend full of gen erous impulse and sincere affection. His death brings sorrow to great many hearts. Deceased was the youngest child of the late Russell Bradley, who belonged to one of New Haven's oldest and most respected families. He was born in New Haven about fifty years ago, and was prepared for college at Amos smith g preparatory school. He afterwards travelled and then became one of the wholesale grocery firm of Brad ley & Macey at New York. For the past six years he has been proprietor of the Japanese art store on Chapel street. He was sn attendant at the First Methodist church.
 His taking away was very sudden. AL though long a sufferer from heart disease, he was in comparatively good health since his recent trip to Florida until Friday night, when he complained of feeling badly. His sister summoned medical assistance imme- diately, but before the arrival of the phy- sician MT. Bradley had passed away.

FoaEPAuaH's SHOWS.
 Truthful always the advertising being done by the Adam Forepaugh shows for this year, 1892
 would severely test the confidence of the readers and beholders if they did not know that they had never before been deceived by the announce
 ments made by these great shows. But this yeal | they are advertised that they will exhibit SC l much morethan they ever did before; that they are 30 much larger, grander and better than no only they, but all other shows have ever been that at first the suspicion is naturally aroused that the shows are depending upon their always heretofore unassailable Ieputation for veracity and honesty, to make the public believe wha | they say and patronize the shows in such mum bers as to make them much money that the proprietor need not care what people may thinl of him in the future.
