Not So Bad.

When the Cloverleaf railroad, which spans
this county, went into the hands of receiver
several months since, it was predicted that
if handled properly it would soon pay out
of Its trouble. AS the road has an immense
freight traffic the prediction was generally
believed, and the report of the receiver for
the month of July seems to bear it out. The
report shows cash balance on July 81 of
S7,6l5.63, after paying on current accounts
and expenses, $l3l, ,559.72, and $9l l.o6O.52
upon accounts due prior to May %, the date
of the appointment of the receiver. Since
his appointment Mr.. Galloway has paid up
$272, ,1SO.67 of the old accounts of the road,
and in running expenses and current &C.
counts $207, ,265, ,83 has been disbursed.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Of the six games played on Wednes- day but one lasted as long as two hours. It took but one hour and 34 minutes each to play two of the games. The average time was hour and II minutes. But two clubs made double figures Tn hits and but one club reached double figures in runs. The average number of runs per game was a little over seven and the average number of hits l2. This does not show such tremendous hitting.
 New York did great work to tie the series with Brooklyn after losing the first four games. BroOklynites had counted upon an easy thing in the series.
 Three league teams were shut out yes terday, namely, the PhIladelphias, Chicagos and Washingtons. Another team escaped by one run. Is the pitch CT far enough back New York Herald, Aug. r..

 Practice Act,

Secretary LIndsley Explains the MedIca a
 Practice Act.
 According to the July bulletin of the state board of health there were 1,312 deaths reported in the state during the month. This was 390 more than in June and 115 less than in July, 1899, and 50 more than the average number of deaths in July for the five years preceding the present. Dr Lindsley, the secretary, has this to say in the bulletin about the medical practice act passed by the last legislature:
 ''The law when carefully read seems sufficiently clear and intelligible yet the numerous letters of inquiry about it in dicates inattention to it's meaning or positive misunderstanding of it.
 "From the time the law was passed until the first of October next, it applies ! only to those practitioners who were resi- dents of this state or of towns in other states on the boundary line of Connecti cut and who were actually engaged ir medical and surgical practice at the time of the passage of the act, or had beer previously thereto, to wit, May 25th Therefore, only the residents of Con necticut and of the towns adjoining Connecticut in practice in the state or or before March 18th, are now eligible candidates for registration.
 'Non-residents of Connecticut, or resi- dents of towns not adjoining our state boundary, are therefore not eligible can didates for registration until after October 1. After that date, the gradu ates of medical colleges which are recog nized as reputable by either of our state I medical societies, without regard to res dence, can be registered by complying with the requirements, of the law relat ing thereto.
 "All practitioners not registered be fore the first day of October, who art not graduates of medical colleges il good standing, will be required tC | undergo an examination before one O the examining committees which, il successfully passed will entitle them tC registration, and to a certificate tha they have been found qualified to prac tice. No examinations. however, have been provided for until after January 1894"

He Is About to Start a Savings Society
 and Pay Five Per Cent.
 NEW HAVEN, August 1S-Mayor Sar- gent is about to put into execution a very unique scheme whereby the people of the laboring classes as well as the city will be benefited. He proposes to inau- gurate sort of municipal savings bank system for a period of two months. Anyone will be allowed to deposit their money from now until November 15, and interest will be paid at 5 per cent. The mayor says that the city will be compelled to borrow at least $10O, ,000 between now and November, owing to the delay in the receipt of taxes caused by the legislative change of time for payment of taxes from September to November. The common council has authorized the mayor, the auditor and President Callahan of the board of alder men to borrow money for the use of the city until the time for the payment ot taxes has arrived. Deposits of $100 or more will be received and notes given to each deposition. The scheme is a very clever one. The people are afraid to put their money in the banks and thousands of dollars are now hoarded in bureau drawers and other places. It is expected that the plan will meet with universal approval.
