ATLANTA Aug. 1.-THE Southern League Of
Baseball Clubs held an important meeting here
yesterday. with dele gates from Chattanooga.
Montgomery Atlanta. Augusta. Macon. Savan-
nah. and Charleston Thy proxy The first
action taken was the unanimous adoption OF
resolution citing that. in view Of the yellow
fever scare so seriously affecting tho clubs Of
the western division and the present financial
strinGency. which has had 30 serious an effect
upon all clubs Of the League the season be
declared closed to-day. This action was not
unex pected. as the condition OF affairs made
1t absolutely necessary.
The financial report OF the President and the
trustees Of the sinking fund were audited and
found correct and each club will receive q
small amount as rebate. 1t was determined
that the deciding game for the hampionship
begins. tho contestants being Augusta. who
won the cha m pionship of the first season and
such club rs may be ahead when the League
season closes.
There was but little talk OF the future dele
gates preferring to devote themselves to wind
Ing up the old season before they discussed a
new one. That is to be left to the regular Oc-
tober meeting. The franchises Of Charleston.
Pensac cola. and Nashville revert to the League.
1t Is almost certain that there will be smaller
league next year. or perhaps two leagues.

A QUESTION OF THE HOUR

The death of young girl, apparently not old enough to properly leave the parental shelter, in one of the houses of assignatiop in Taunton, speaks afresh of the shame such institutions are on the fair name of old Newtown. How long, O Lord, how long, must these places eX- ist, q menace to the social life of this town. Must Newtown provide a harbor for such resorts, which are driven from Bethel and Danbury? A few years ago q disreputable house at the south end of Taunton lake was closed up through the energetic action of a private citizen, (whose name will not be forgot ten) who sacrificed health and private in- terests, to blot it out. He succeeded, but was he backed up by the townspeo- pie? It seems not, for "resorts" were es- abolished not over a mile away, whose reputation then, and now, have smacked Of degradation. How long, o righteous people of Newtown, must this farce go onr Do we desire our town officials to close these places up: Are we willing to back them up, if it is attempted? It seems like an insult to Almighty God, that a lake so beautiful for situation, which might attract summer guests by the hun- dred, should be scandalized by places whose reputation is so dark. Another question or two: What is the reason at- tempts to wipe these places out in the past have failed: Has there been lack of evidence? Does anyone doubt the repu- tations of these places? If there could be mighty uprising of the righteous peo- pie of Newtown from Zoar Bridge to Lake George, these people would flee the town in a night. o for revival of pub lie spirit of the right stamp.

How many in Newtown and Sandy Hook would favor a village improvement society? Don't all speak at once. Does anyone doubt that such an organization would be a benefit? What are the objects 1t might strive for? Street lights in New town Street, to and through Sandy Hook; to foster public spirit for good side walks ito work for our library and Acad- emy? IT village improvement societies can exist and prosper in places like Rox- bury, Nichols and other farming towns, what Is the matter with Newtown brac. ing up? We ought to have such society to foster public spirit. How many would cooperate if such a society was organiz. ed? Let us hear from our read@-; o2 this subject.

Up in Massachusetts they have started m association which every state in the Union should have. It is an association of roadmasters, and is receiving high en- dorsement up that way. The idea has the sanction of the Massachusetts high way commission and many roadmas asters throughout the state have expressed their intention of becoming members of the proposed organization. Meetings will be held several times during the year in order to hold discussions or to hear expressions of opinion relative to the best methods of road construction and improvement, and it is expected that the movement will result in better roads throughout the state.

FAIRFIELD,
THE STREET RAILWAY HEARING

THE STREET RAILWAY HEARING.
 About dozen gentlemen, including the committee, met at the Town hall, Saturday, about the street railway. The The hour not being generally known, others Who felt an interest did not at tend. The general feeling is to have the railroad on the main street. It was decided to have the company keep the road on each side of the track perpet- ually in repair, and to widen the two bridges at their own expense, that the road should be in running order two years after the adjoul nment of the Leg islature. The selcctmcn and committee expect to go to Hartford to look after the towns interest. Mir Jennings, the selectman, made it very plain why it should not turn around the Benson cor ner. He said he took particular paius in walking down in the morning, as he stood under the railroad bridge at the Lockwood. place, he had to reach the center of the bridge to see anything approaching. Then another car to SohiS Nao" $ioSC III uhuCI bridge, while train was approaching overhead, would make it extremely dan gerOus. We do not think many who have thought it best to go on Mechanic street, have looked at it in the Way MT Jennings stated it. Many of those who do not want it to go through the main street are only in town for few months and they would hardly know the feelings and wants of the winter residents. Sun day especially, those wishing to attend church would not have their teams got | ten up, but would get on the cars and be taken directly to the church doors. It | would also be very nice for those who wish to attend the base ball games, to | have it on the main street. Some have | thought that the street railway would be great benefit in raising the value Of property along the line of the road. As
 we look at it, there seems very little property to sell. Commencing at the Black Rock bridge to J. D. Toomey's, there are only two residences for sale, and as for property on the other roads, the majority do not wish mechanics or a working class to locate.

The Bridgeport dailies seem to be run ming crazy (with the exception of the Farmer) over contests of one kind or an- other, which the sensible public must be heartily tired of. In every instance it looks like desperate effort to gain circu- latlon, which at its best, must be but temporary. It is not good journalism, at any rate, in city the size of Bridgeport. The Bridgeport editors doubtless catch their inspiration from the New York World, which has made bonanza out of the contests. The Post led the van in Bridgeport, and the others have followed like so many sheep. Give lem a rest.
