WORLD OF SPORTS.

Manager Peoples of the Waterbury is
not an old timer, so far as years count.
He is only 81, but has been playing ball
professionally for eleven years.
Tucker signed with the Bostons yester-
day.
Glenalvin may be loaned by Chicago to
Detroit.
Cunningham. the polo player, wants to
umpire in the New England league.
Vaughn and Grim have both come in
out Of the wet. The Louisville people
promptly informed Mr. Grim that his
place would be filled instanter. and that no
one would worry if he stood out. This
brought him to terms.
Representatives from various base ball
towns were present this afternoon at the
meeting i'll the Scovill house. Waterbury
was represented by Manager James
Peoples. From New Haven came Messrs
Miller Durant and Mckee; from Norwich
Tom York; John Henry from Hartford
and w. X. Durham from Bridgeport
New Britain was not represented as, owing
to Il misunderstanding, it was supposed
the meeting was to be held in New Bri-
tain. A telegram was however. sent to L.
b. Sheehan, telling him to have some one
represent him by proxy. The change OF a
number of dates will be the principal OBJ
iect of the meeting. Another important
point will be the aomittance of anotheG
city. Southlngton wants to come in, but
it Is unlikely the place will be chosen.
Winsted stands the best chance as it is u
lively base ball town. Late this afternoon
a telegram was received stating that
Bridgeport would probably remain in the
league.

and Day.
DARLINGTON, :. G., April 5.-The inquest
was in session all last night. The con-
stables arrived after dark under military
guard, gave their testimony during the
night and then returned to Columbia.
The inquest is entirely secret, heavily
guarded by troops. There is no disturb
ance, and apparently the inquest will pro
coed without disorder. The inquest is eX-
pected to continue two or three days.
DIR. Y. II. Payne of New York, Il guest
at the Cleveland hotel. shot and killed
Henry Green i'll the hotel. Green had gone
before General RichbourS, commander-in-
chief of the state volunteers, and made
affidavit that he had seen DR.. Payne com
ing out of the dispensary, which is under
guard of soldiers, on last Sunday with his
pockets filled with bottles of whisky
DIR. Payne met him in the hotel corridor
and spoke to him i'll regard to the state
ment which Green had made Hard words
were passed on both sides, Green giving
DR. Payne the lie and making demonstrt-
lions toward him, and Payne pulled his
pistol and shot him through the heart.
DIR. Payne was arrested.
CHARLESTON, April 5.-The municipal
authorities here have very little to say CON
corning Governor Tillmun's proclamation
announcing his intention to take charge of
the police forces of all the cities and towns
i'll the state.
The proclamation created something of
Il sensation, but WAS not uneN pected in oil
cial circles. 1t is considered scarcely like
ly that Governor Tillman's proclamation
assuming control of municipal police will
in any way affect the present status of the
police department of this city. Under the
dipRrtiOn of IA IN nd
perintendent of police the state consta bles
have been fully protected and rendered ev-
cry necessary assistance in making their
raids on the blind tigers here whenever the
department has been notified of their in

the postmaster general is anxious
to be relieved of the great
responsibility of naming postmasters and
the peculiar conditions existing here made
Waterbury an excellent place to submit
the question TO the people This Is con-
trary to custom. but, Mr. Fitzpatrick says,
there is no good reason why the people
should not vote for postmaster the same as
they do for congressman or president
"Whether Mr. Brown enters the race or
not. he added, Il will try to secure an
expression from the people ut the primal

The Planting: of Small Fry Mt as Salts

Few and far between are the trout that
are brought in by the lovers of sport with
rod and reel. in spite of the fact that many
adopts at landing these gamey fish jour
neyed up country during the few days
since the law was off. But there are less
fishermen this year than there was last
and indications point to there being fewer
in years to come unless the fishing i'm
proves.
Seemingly little or no result has come
from the plan ing of the young fry which
are given ont by the state when but little
larger and looking not unlike black pin
heads.
Steps are now being taken by interested
parties to have the state give ont yearling
trout n request that will meet with the
hearty appreciation of all fishermen as the
general opinion seems to be that stocking
the brooks with this miniature nnimalculae
is waste of time.
The yearling fish would be two or three
inches in length, of sufficient size and
discreet on to keep themselves from being
eaten by other fish. and to enable them to
pick up good living and get fat and
happy during the months the law protects
them, thus making the hearts of the fisher
men rejoice when the first of April comes
around.

GOV ERNOR BROWN AND HIS OPPONENT.
Woonsocket assembly delegation is Re-
publican. The little town of Tiverton, al
ways considered Il Democratic stronghold,
is also Republican.
The Hon. Franklin p. Owen, the present
speaker of the Democratic house of repre-
sentatives, has always been returned from
the town of Scituate whenever he cared to
run. He was caught in the flood, howev-
er, and lost. The result of the election in
sures the choice of Ex-Governor Peabody
Wetmore as the successor of Senator Dixon
in the United States senate.
The Democrats expected TO lose the legis-
lature, but We're fairly confident of elect
ing their candidate for governor. They did
not, however, expect a landslide.
Almost complete returns give Brown,
