WORLD OF SPORTS.

Pitcher Killeen, formerly of the Salems and now of the Cincnnatis, IS in a hospi- tai in Troy, and it is doubtful if he will be able to play this year.
 The veteran Henry Chadwick scouts at the idea of Pitcher Nichols of the Bostons being at all injured by pitching in Califor- nia this winter. He thinks that the pitchers of to-day might work twice as hard as they do without being overworFed.
 Manager Barnio is still dickering with Brooklyn for Danny Richardson. If the latter persists in his announced determina- ton not to play any more for Brooklyn, the chances are that Louisville will get him. Barnie went to Elmira Tuesday to talk the matter over with Richardson.
 Buck Ewing spent hundreds of dollars trying to get his arm back again. At one time he thought it was all right, but the minute he tried a snap throw he found he was mistaken. Buck Ewings arm is all fight now until he has to make quick throw, when it weakens on him.

STOLE MONEY AND LIQUOR
Maurice McCartho's saloon Meadow
 Street Entered by Burglars.

Maurice McCarthos saloon on Meadow
 Street Entered by Burglars.
 Some one entered the saloon of Maurice Mccarthy on Meadow street last night and stole about S15 in money and two or three bottles of whiskey. Officer Tehan found the window in the rear of the building open about o'clock this morning and re- mained there until Mir McCarthy's bar tender appeared to open the place. On investigation it was found that the thief must have removed couple of spikes that kept the window secure on the inside be- fore the place was closed last night. The doors were locked and the glass Tn the window was not broken and there is no other way that the window could be opened but by removing these spikes. Mir Mccarthy says he noticed d suspicious looking fellow around the place yesterday and believes that he is the one who com mitted the robbery. The thief must have been frightened away or he would have secured more booty. A box containing about S20 in pennies stood beside the cash register and good stock of cigars and otber articles was left behind. all of which shows that the burglar did not make a very thorough search, and in his haste to leave the premises forgot to put down the window. Detective Egan has the case in hand.

Dr C. Art Wards Price For Right of Way For the Water Pipes Not Ac- cepted.

Dr C. Art Wards Price For a Right of
 Way For the Water Pipes Not Ac-
 cepted.
 Mayor Kilduff called the meeting of the committee on additional water supply to order last night. Commissioner Rice in troduced the matter of securing the right of way for the pipe through the property of Dr c. Art Ward. The place in question is situated above Frost's bridge on the Thomaston turnpike, and contains strip of land about 30 feet wide and about 6,oOO feet long. Some time ago the committee asked MT Ward how much he wanted for the land and he informed them that he would sell the right of way on the east side for S2, 300 and on the west side for S2, ,OOO. A survey was made on the west side and 1t was decided to run the pipe through there. The committee thought the doctor asked too much for the right of way, the sum asked being but a little less than he paid for the whole of the land a short time ago. Acting under instructions of the city attor- ney the committee offered Mir Ward S1 ,OOO for the right of way and gave him until last night at o'clock to decide on the matter. MT Ward was not at the meeting last night, but telephoned to Mir Rice that he had been kept away on account of the severity of the storm and asked If the committee would not split the difference.
 1Iv Rice said in his opinion they had lost time enough fooling with Mr Ward and then offered the following resolution, which was adopted:
 ''Noted that the committee recommend to the court of common council that the city attorney be instructed to proceed at once to condemn strip of land 30 feet wide through land of c. Art Ward through Mountaindale, so called, for the 36 inch pipe line, and through land owned by an unknown, between land of Henry Reynolds and D. $. Carter.
 Mr Fitzpatrick said thHt the time for the completion O. J1u,s G,,,o- contract had nearly expired and as the work would not be finished as per contract he asked if the time could not be extended. It was moved to extend the time thirty days from the day on which the contract expires.

Stray Leaves From a RepOrUerS NOCe Book.
 ST VALENTINES day is only q few days away. Valentines fill the store windows, and no doubt the handsome love missives will be in demand by amatory youths. The drawback to the practice of sending valentines is the misuse made of what are known as the "comics," which, while in tended to be funny, are very frequently used to give expression to malicious, and very often slanderous sentiments. They are not valentines, and to give them that name is a shameful abuse of the term. The number sold last year was much smaller than any previous year and Is coupled with the additional significant fact that of those offered for sale very few were in any marked sense departure from the styles of 1899.
 A GOOD deal of speculation is being in dulged in as to what disposition will be made of the cases against the liquor dealers who kept their places of business open on election day, when the matter comes before the court, if 1t ever does. The dealers seem to have acted in good faith, believing that their action was perfectly legal It is claimed that the prosecuting agent was not quite sure that the dealers who in tended doing business on that day could be fined, and instructed the committee who waited upon h1m to ask the opinion of Judge Root on the matter, which they did. Judge Root did not wish to give an opinion on the subject aud referred them to Assistant State Attorney George E. Terry Mir Terry's opinion removed all doubts from their minds, and taking his version of the law as their guide they de- cided to open their saloons. None of them tried to conceal the fact that they were open and doing business, and when the policemen called upon them, instead of ordering them to close their places as they invariably do when saloons are found open on any day that the law prohibits them from doing business, they simply | took the name of the owner and number of the license, and reported the same to the prosecuting agent. There seems tC l have been some misunderstanding about the whole businss. It may save the city several hundred dollars if the cases are settled outside of court. If the matter evel comes before the superior court State At torney Terry, without doubt, will nolle | the Caces.
