WORLD OF SPORIS

Second Baseman Clymer of the Port
lands has played in ten consecutive
games without an error, accepting all of
40 chances, and has scored 4S runs in 45
games.
Roger Conner is quoted as saying that
Ewing literally drove Keefe, Buckley,
Bassett, Glasscock, Richardson and him
self out of the New York team in order
to further in some way in his own pri-
vate ends. Conner refers to the fact
that "Buck" displaced him at first base,
that Keefe had to go to give John
Ewing chance, that Bassett stood in
the way of freddy" Mack, one of
Ewing's friends, that Buckley was
catching too brilliantly and was too
great favorlte with the public, that
Glasscock was disliked by Mr. Ewing
personally and that Richardson couldn't
stand 'Buck's" imperious ways.
Two mines supposed to represent the
doctors and business men played a seven

POLICE COURT.
Another Chapter In the Casey-VIcker
Fued


Fued.
Judge Cowell occupied the bench in
the police court this morning, when the
name of John McCabe was called to
answer to the charge of drunkenness.
John was trying to die all night long
and left his brothers address
with the officers. He begged to be
let off this morning and Judge Cowell
told him if within an hour he was found
within the city, he would be arrested.
John, by this time Is nearing the New
York line.
John Delaney was charged with as
sault on a Russian Jew, on Baldwin
street, yesterday. Delaney denied all
| knowledge of the affair and said he was
not near Baldwin street when the assault
took place. He was arrested on East
Main strret last night. He was fined
$40 and costs from which he took an
appeal.
Another round in the Casey Vickers
ENHANCEMENT was fought in the police
court this morning. Casey for the past
few years has tried in every manner
possible to injure his neighbor, Richard
Vickers. He has twice been convicted
in the police court, for poisoning Wick
ers' chickens and killing his dog. He
has been trying for the past few months
to have VIckers arrested for keeping
| pigs "AIuIIA CnS CACy AILAlLSs no COIL
planned to Sanitary Inspector Moses, who
has found by careful inspection that
the pigs complained of were not a nui-
sance to the neighbors and that possibly
the land on which the pen stood was
not in the city limits. Casey finally in
duced a neighbor named Curley to go
with him to Prosecuting Attorney Kel-
lOge's Office, where warrant for Wick
eIs' arrest was sent out, for violating a
city ordinance. Casey and Curley
as witnesses showed their animosity to
IVickers, and Attorney Lowe scored
both of them. There was some doubt as
to whether the pigs were really kept
within the city limits. Judge Cowell
in rendering his decision scored Casey
numerically and said he would ad journ
the case for a week and that if Vickers
found chat his land was inside the city,
he should remove the pigs.
| Attorney Lowe also defended the
next case, which was charge against
Philip Mckinney for maintaining a
nuisance on his premises, at 400 River
street. An clubhouse containing SIX
closets stands within six feet of one of
Mrs Santanna's houses on South Main
street and the tenants have complained
to Sanitary Inspector Moses. McGivney
has been ordered several times to re-
move the nuisance. 1t was shown in
court that the clubhouse was built before
Mrs Saatanna's building was con-
structed. Judge Cowell made the same
disposition of this case as the one before
it and continued it for one week, with
| the proviso that the nuisance be re-
i moved.

ANOTHER BEEF FAMINE.
The Wholesale Price Has Advanced
Two Cents q Pound.


Two Cents n Pound.
Circumstances point at the present
time to a beef famine throughout Con-
necticut. Since Monday last the whole
sale price has advanced two cents per
pound. All the Chicago dealers claim a
scarcity of this article of food, but there
are many who think that it is a combina-
tlon formed to hold the beef and there
by effect a raise. A DEMOCRAT report
er interviewed a few of the city dealers
this, morning and cleaned the following
facts:
Theodore Oliver was of the opinion
that the present rise in price was only
temporary. He thinks that a combina-
ton has been effected by which the
cattle are held back, and owing to the
scarcity demand higher price. Beef at
present, although it has jumped from 81
to 81 cents per pound, is much cheaper
than a year ago when it was
selling from to 10 cents per pound.
He claims that there are SO many cattle
on hand that this combination will be
broken.
w. A.Guilfoile says there is scarcity
of beef and that the retail price has al
ready advanced. He claims it will
make difference in his monthly sales
of $500 or $500. He thinks that whole
salers have been shipping beef east for
such low price that now the demand
has increased SO much more than the
supply raise in price is inevitable.
NJ. Guilfoile of the Waterbury Beef
Co was found at his refrigerator. He
showed the reporter his stock on hand
which comprised just one car load, ar
rived this morning. Every pound OF
meat in his house was sold at that time
and he did not know were the next load
was coming from. He did not think
there was a combination formed tc
raise the price, but laid the
reason for the scarcity of beef
to the following: Western houses have
been shipping beef so plentifully east
that the corn fed cattle are getting
scarce and the gra ssfed animals do mo-
fit the bill. He thinks the price may gc
higher and that Waterbury as well al
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport anc
New Britain will experience within {
short time great scarcity of this article
of food.
Dispatches from Boston houses THU
morning also advance the price of frest
pork, bacon and hams, two cents
pound, wholesale. The outlook il
rather gloomy one for meat eaters, al
the prices will assuredly be higher mex
week.

The Democrats Will Defeat the Measure
If it Reaches a Vote.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The silver bill
was taken up this morning by the house
committee on coinage and discussed at
great length. An adjournment was for
mally taken until $50 this evening. 1t
looks as if the bill was shelved.
Many democrats, who before the
Chicago convention favored the passage
of the free silver bill, have made a
change of base and will oppose the
measure. The anti-silver men say that
if the bill reaches a direct vote in the
house at this session, which is not proba-
BILE, it will be defeated by majority of
20.

SOUTH NORwALK, July 9.-Mrs Anna
Schuky is lying in a very critical con-
dition at her home in the old red build
ing, corner of Bouton and Hoyt streets,
the result of an attempt to poison her
self. She is Hungarian and has lived
with her husband and children in the
old red building.
A day or so ago she and her husband
had quarrel, and the wife in a re-
vengeful spirit, prepared bowl of milk
in which number of matches had been
soaked. Mr. Schuky drank very little of
the milk, but his wife partook copiously
of it. But it was not until yesterday
that she began to suffer.
Physicians were summoned and re-
lieved her of quantity of the poison.
She was in fair way last night to re-
cover.
