 Father of a victim Reinstated. 1 ZMa ~

 Mir. Ames was born in Illinois about 46 years ago but subsequently, moved to Iowa from which State he was appointed to a clerkship in the Record and Pension Divi- sion. He leaves 8 widow and one son. His death is made doubly sad from the fact that his wife is in delicate condition. The remains will be taken to his home in Iona, Iowa
 Messrs Mccormack and Metcalf, two other victims are reported to-day as being in about the same condition as the last few days. They will likely pull through if the cool weather holds out.

pANT GOING CRAZY
The Washington Contractors Mind Af-
 fected By the Ford DIsaster.

The NAShlnRLOn D <AA~
 fected By the Ford Disaster.
 WASHINGTON, June IF. Contractor Dant, who was doing the work which re- suited in the collapse of Ford's Opera House, is in a serious condition, and it is feared that his mind is affected by the dis aster. Ever since the accident he has been a sick man, his malady attacking the brain rather than the body.
 Once or twice he left his residence with plans ot work he had under way, but was compelled to return to his home. When ever spoken to about the calamity he would break down completely and cry like child. His condition the past three or four days has been so serious that the doctor has prohibited his leaving the house, and denied the presence of all save the members of his family. The subject of the accident is positively prohibited.
 Mrs Dent said that her husband is very Respondent and that the accident preys upon his mind to such an extent that she fears permanent injury will result. Tn c report upon the street yesterday was that MT. Dant had gone crazy.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
The Meridens Act Like Rowdies and Win
 From the Acmes.

It was very evident from yesterdays ball'game that the members of the Acme ball club need thorough shaking up. No team can play without practice and schoolboy playing ought not to be tol- erated by the management. It was also evident that the Merldens have not for gotten how to play mean and dirty ball. It is safe to say that Meriden will scarcely be invited to come here again. Thieson needs a thorough thrashing to make him learn his place and Johnson, who now claims Water bury as his home, should train his tongue to use gentlemanly language. The Acmes, with the same team, will play the team that represented Meriden yesterday on neutral ground, for any amount of money. Below is the score:
