District-Attorney Ridgway's letter to Gov
ernor Flower is virtual confession of his in
disposition and inability TO bring the Graves
end scoundres to justice. Why is he thus
unable? Simply because he is part and parcel
of the Brooklyn Ring. Of which the Gravesend
Ring is a natural offshoot Mr.. Ridgway. to all
intents and purposes admits that he is unable
or unwilling to perform his sworn duty. 1t Is a
great pity that the people OF Kings County did
not have an opportunity to pass judgment upon
him at the election last week.

 Regarding the published statement that the case of Father Shahan, the de- posed Norwich priest, was to be investi- gated by Mgr Satolli, the pope's repre- sentative in the United States, the Right Rev Bishop McMahon said to a reporter yesterday that he had no knowledge of such fact. He had had no communica- tion from either Mgr Satolli or Father Shahan bearing on the subject and therefore judged it improbable.
 The judiciary committee of the gen. eral assembly will on next Thursday afternoon give hearing to the bill on 6 constitutional convention. It is ex pected that a number of leading gentle men throughout the state will address the committee cd the issue.

KILLED BY THE CARS AT BRISTOL.

David Tong Escaped One Train Only to be Struck by Another.
 David Tong, a car cleaner and switch light tender on the New England road, was run over in the freight yard at Bristol at 4:S0 p. m. yesterday and so badly injured that he died in a few minutes. Tong was walking on the main track as a west bound freight train came along. Stepping off on a side track to avoid this, he did not per ceive some cars on that track which were coming up behind him pushed by a switch engine. He was struck by them and dreadfully maugled. Dr Howe, the medical examiner, deemed an inquest unnecessary. Tong was 50 years old, and had been employed by the New York 6 New England company a long time. He leaves a wife and a son 15 years old.
 Nathan Turelle, aged S5 years, one of the oldest and best known residents of Danbury, was struck by a train on the New England road in that place at 12 o'clock this noon, and instantly killed. He was crossing the tracks at Main street, where there is sharp curve, and
 did not hear the approaching train.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
Roger COnnor and Frank Donahue JC
 the New YOrks.

Roger Connor and Frank Donahue Join
 the New Yorks.
 Roger Connor and his protege, Frank Donahue, left Waterbury to-day to join the New York base ball team. To the former it will be like returning to an old home. but to the latter it will be jumping from the lower round of the ladder to the highest. Roger will meet many who will welcome his return to New York. He will be greeted by the cranks with that same old yell of de- light, and his Waterbury friends wish him season of success. The removal of the pitcher back five feet will be a source of much satisfaction to Connor, and the cranks may be gratif1ed to see the ball once more sailing over the fence while Roger trots merrily home. Donahue ought to be a strong addition to the New Yorks. He possesses speed puzzling curves and good head. He has demonstrated on many occasions his superiority as a batsman and his base running is excellent. He possesses all the qualities of ball player. His debut with the Giants will be watched with interest.
 Great interest is centered in the open ing of the base ball season here on Fri day next, when the strong aggregation Of ball players who represent the Yale law school team, come here to wipe uI the earth with the Acmes. The mem bers of the latter team have sharpeneC their little hatchets, however, and il may be that the Yale blue will suddenly drop. At any rate it will be an interest ing game to witness.
 Jack Dillon called at the DEMOCRAT office last evening and wished to have contradicted an item in yesterday morn ing's Republican, wherein it is said he par ticipated in a fight with boxer named Mix, and the decision was given 1T favor of the latter. Dillon said the bout was friendly one and not a fight and no decisien was given.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Winters Business on the New York
 New Haven & Hartford Road.

The Winters Business on the New York, New Haven & Hartford Road.
 There has been a steady growth in freight and passenger traffic on the New York, New Haven & Hartford during the winter that has now closed. The winter has been the hardest m years for railroad employees. The protracted and excessive cold has caused an incalcu- lable amount of suffering among them, especially on the night freights. The approaching April with it's warmer nights is anticipated with the greatest pleasure by the trainmen. The snow, with the exception of the last heavy storm, was not the occasion of mu ch delay to trains through the winter. In fact schedule time has been made uni. formly through the season. The pas. senger traffic between cities along the line of the road and New York has been exceptionally large through the winter.
 The New York 6 New England road employs surgeons in the large towns along it's line to attend trainmen who may be injured. Orders were recently issued to the effect that no matter how would be paid for only one visit to a patient. Frequently men are so seri, ously injured that the physician must remain for hours or make frequent calls, and the order has created con- siderable dissatisfaction among the physicians whom it affects.
 The taking of testimony in the suit of Nathan F. Goldsmith of Boston to re- strain the New York & New England road from registering $2,O0O, ,OOO of bonds with Comptroller Staub, assigned for today, has been postponed indef- nitely on account of the death of Mrs Perkins, wife of c. B. Perkins, who was appointed a committee to hear the evi- dence,

"A Royal Pass"

George c. Staley, the favorite German dialect comedian, who made such a favorable impression here in his play, "A Royal Pass," is announced for an. other engagement at the Jacques opera house, Fast day, March 31, matinee and night. Many changes have been made in the play. The locomotive race in the third act is said to be the greatest piece of stage mechanism ever produced. In this scene the spectator sees for the first time two locomotives running on iron tracks at a speed that seems impossible, the engineers and firemen at their posts, sparks flying, steam escaping, whistles shrieking and bells ringing.
 "Pulse of New York;"
 A fair sized audience witnessed "The Pulse of New York" at the opera house last night. The spectacular effects were excellent.

LIVERPOOL, March 2S.-There has been a general belief, born of hope, that the shipwrecked crew, reported to have been on board the vessel signalled of Deal on March 20, might be members of the crew of the missing Naronic. How ever, repeated efforts to obtain further information have proved fruitless. Nothing more can be ascertained as to the vessel or the sailors,
