GHASTLY DISCOVERY.

The Dead Bo6y of n Child Found By
 Boys Near Riverside Cemetery.
 Willie Broderick. S. Blandsfeld and B. Lachance. three Brooklyn boys. made a ghastly find on the Riverside cemetery road about 1920 o'clock this morning. The boys went dow the road to gather some worms prL paratory to starting of on fishing expedition. When they had reached ths stone wall on the east side of the road little north of Sunnyside avenue one of the boys discovered something which they thought was a bundle of clothing. On coming nearer they were mortified to notice the head of child sticking out of the bundle with one hand entwined around its head and the other hanging by its side. The boys started for police headquarters and in- formed Chief Egan of what they had found. The chief directed them to Medical Examiner Axtelle and when they reached the latter's office the doctor was away and they were told to call in the afternoon. About 3:30 the trio appeared again at the doctors office and told him the whole story.
 The little fellows are greatly worked up over the affair and can describe the place in which the find was made. One of them said the body was clothed in a little white dress with a towel tied around its chest and big piece of paper wrapped over all Dr Axtelle went over to the place. but had not returned at press hour.

ALMOST SiOo,Ooo.

Al Military Critic From Another State lsays the Connecticut National Guard s
 Top Heavy. VI
 '.Your National Guard appears to me to be top heavy" said a field officer from another state concerning Camp Bradley. ssYou have six brigadier-generals on the governors staff. each of whom draws s2O.07 a day, including s day for a horse. which some of them can hardly ride, and there are six colonels with pay of s14.59 a day each including horse. Four of the general officers, the adjutant general. quartermaster-g surgeou-general. paymastsr-general. and two of the coloneis the assistant adjutant-general and the as- sistant acknowledgement are also salaried officers of the state whose pay as such goes right along while they are drawing pay as officers of the National Guard in camp.
 ''The governors staff seem to be supplied with every luxury not necessary to the life of a soldier and I cannot believe that their presence in camp is at all necessary for the welfare of the guard.
 "A feature of your camps which strikes me as being very reprehensible is the noise after taps have attended many camps of the New York National Guard and as soon as taps is sounded every light is put out and perfect quiet reigns through the night. It is so every night during the camp and I never ln0w 1t otherwise. The pay of the troops for the week. in- cluding over sl GOO for the attendance of the governors staff. will amount to from sT0. 900 to s75.uOO. Transportation, forage. ice. pay of quartermaster's men, medical supplies and the numerous incl dentals will probably amount to s1O. .OOO' The commissary general will expend about S, ,000 as the states share. one-half of the food supplied the men. The total cost oi the encampment to the state will be S9O.' 900 to s95. 900. perhaps a little more.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Lachance is improving right along as a first baseman. He has the requisite height. reach and batting ability for the position.
 Dan Brouthers fooled his critics last week. He had a genuine attack of hay fever. and not the kind he formerly had annually while with Brooklyn.
 Jack Shvetts says he will be open for bids as an outfelder when his pitching days are gone.
 The best material for the major league managers in search of job lots can be found in the Western league" says Hugh Nicol.
 Eaters who can bat are not such rare birds as they once were, but pitchers who can pitch are as scarce as straw hats at a Kamschatka garden party.
 Ely is putting up the game of his life for St Louis this year. Few shortstops are doing any better than he
 Jennings has been playing phenomenal short field.
 Umpire Swartwood says that if any of the National league clubs are looking for a catcher. Tommy Leahy of the Springdelds is the only man whom he considers fast enough for him to recommend. rt
 Brodie has struck out but four times this season.
 The Bostons are being given a harder run for the championship than they have been accustomed to in recent years. Al least two teams are making driving race with every indication of a punishing finish.
 Anson thinks the final bout will be between Boston and New York.
 Since KiIlen's injury Pittsburg has been more handicapped in the pitching department than any other team. What championship chance have Cleve- land and Pittsburg on this trip: Look what desperate condition they are up against Boston wants the championship as a matter of pride. Baltimore would like to have it to ill n long felt want. and fl Ward and Irwin fail to land it for their respective clubs they may look to be re- placed by new managers. As for Brooklyn 1t will do its utmost to keep from running second to New York.

His leg never troubles him though other players always complained | of temporary weakness and were always fearful of an accident in their base run. | ming.
 John Clarkson was unpopular among the Cleveland players. Won der Ahe's Browns are criticized by | the western press for lack of study of the opposing batsmen's pecnlarities and failure | to cover their positions with a view to the | capture of hits.
 Tiernan is said to have given out his desire to be released from New York. The Boston Globe" goes away from home to find the heaviest batters in the league, Tn the Philadelphia team. whereas the record shows that up to date the Bos tons lead the league in batting. Captain Tebeau says he has not given up hope yet of winning that pennant. Tony Mullane announces that he will not attempt to play again this season. The index finger of his left hand is in bad shape. Blood poisoning set in from au ingrowing nail and it is possible that Ton! may lose the affected finger.

GROCERS COMPLAIN.

Transient Dealers KiIiIpg the Vegetable
 and Produce Business.
 Some of the local grocers declare that they are being robbed just now by the cleverners of Russian Jew peddlers of farm produce. They go into the country and make deals wi.h the farmers to dis pose of their stock for a certain percent age, and having no rent to pay can out-sell the local grocer at his own door. When the Traction Go disposed of their horses the other day quite a good many of them were knocked down to this class of people. and the outskirts of the town is fairly alive with vendors of every variety of farm produce. The grocers thlnk those men should be compelled to pay a license for the privilege of using the streets as mar ket to dispose of their goods. and that they should be obliged to pay tax on their horses and wagons just the same as other people do. The grocer. besides paying a high T. nt, has to pay a good sum for the privilege of doing business, and the poor laborer who owns a small house or build ing and happens to have a horse is taxed for all it is worth. Why should those men be allowed to go free?

BITTEN BY A RAT.
The Brave Blood Flowed in . CrImso
 FountaIu.

The BraNe bioOu EfoWea ih v
 Daniel weibel. a milk peddler from Bucks hill, had an experience with rat in the saloon of J. W. Hodson this morn ing, which he is sure to remember for the remainder of his life. MT Weibel was de- Iivering some milk to Mir Hodson, and while in the store a good-sized rodent made its appearance and Mir weibel im- mediately gave chase. The rat climbed into the south window and got in among the beautiful plants which adorn the show window. Mir weibel reached down among the flowers and caught the rat by the tail and, taking out his knife. said he was going to cut its tail of. One of the clerks shouted to him not to cut the flowers and the man looked around to see who had spoken. While he was thus en- gagged the rat turned and sunk his teeth into the back of his tormenter's hand. cutting open two veins and causing blood to squirt in all directions. Then there was heard some loud squealing. but it wasn't the rat that was doing it, and the clerks seeing the situation came to the rescue and the rodent was slaughtered. The man started for Dr Axtelle's office and when he entered the doctor thought he had cut of his whole hand. Blood was pouring out of the wounds in streams and the physician had quite a job to patch ur the hand.

Probable Drowning oi C. :. Van Dsussn
 or New Haven.
 NEW HAVEN. Aug 20.-The mystery sur rounding the death of Charles $. Van Deusen, the young newspaper man of this city. has been partially solved. The tag boat James Hogan yesterday morning picked up a row boat drifting out from the harbor. In the boat were found pair of crutches and pair of cuffs. Owing to an injury Van Deusen was a cripple and compelled to use crutches. Upon investi- gation the boat was found to belong to Jeremiah Connolly. who says that man answering Van Deusen's description hired it of him last Friday afternoon. the time when Van Deusen disappeared. There is little doubt that Van Deusen has been drowned. He had been out of work for some time and many believe that he com mitted suicide. He was 30 years old and a graduate of Wesleyan university.
