DRIVE OF 100 MILES.

An Aged Meriden Man Travis From
Michigan in Fifty-One Days.
Eleven hundred miles travel by horse
and wagon silce April 80, with only 81 to
start with, is the record of Frank Temp
kins, who passed through Waterbury Tues
day on his way to Meriden. Mr. Tomp-
ki1s, who is II years old, lived in Meriden
year ago and went to Coldwater, Michi-
gan, to visit his son. He found things in
the west very quietand could get absolutely
nothing to do and concluded the best
place for him was back in Connecticut.
How to get back to the old Nutmeg state
was question as he did not have money
enough to buy a railroad ticket.
He, however, had an old business wagon
and harness presented to him, and manag-
ing to buy horse very cheap, he, on the
3Oth day of April, left Coldwater, with a
trunk containing his few belongings, strap
ped IN the back of the wagon.
Il had just 81 in my pocket when 1 left
Coldwater that morning" stated the travel
stained old gentleman yesterday. "but I
was treated finely all the way on my long
trip" he continued.
The route taken on leaving Michigan
was through Ohio, across nine counties in
Pennsylvania to New York state. where
he crossed the Hudson river at Newburg,
and continuing on into Connecticut, came
through Litchfield county to Waterbury
and thence to Meriden. The time of the
l 100 mile journey was ffty-one days.
During the trip a delay was caused by
the wagon breaking down twice While in
Litchfield county, his trunk was broken
open by thieves and part of the contents
stolen.

young Italian living on Pleasant
street had an exciting experience with a
cat Wednesday night. 1t was apparently
mad, and scratched and viciously bit the
young man, making painful cash in his
lip. He finally secured a double .barreled
shot gun and succeeded in killing the
animal.
About month ago Patrick O'Reilly
of % Fourth street. while playing ball re-
ceived a bad sprain of the right ankle.
Since that he has suffered much pain and
for thep past ten days has been confined in
bed. Last night Drs Donahue and O'Con-
nor operated upon the ankle and removed
a diseased bone.
An italian in the employ of Contractor
Chatfeld met with a rather peculiar acct
dent this afternoon. He was pulling a
rope when his hand slipped and his
thumb struck his nostril splitting it for
about half an inch. The man bled
profusely but after a few minutes at
tention by DIR Benedict he seemed to feel
s Efficiently recovered to be able to re-
sumo his work.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Thompson is expected to join the
Phillies to-day. Delahanty will then play
shortstop, and Cross will catch.
| President Won der Abe has protested the
game of last Thursday in Baltimore on the
ground that Umpire Stage was not justified
| in declaring the ball that Jennings batted
into the bleachers a home run. The ball
struck bench in the bleachers and bound
ed back. A ground rule provides that a
ball batted into the bleachers shall be a
home run, but as st Louis was not notified
| of this before the game they declare they
are not bound by it. Jennings stopped at
second base until Stage told him, on Rob-
inson's demand, to come home.
They think in Philadelphia that Allen
has played his last game. His parents are
wealthy and will Insist, it is said, on his
retiring from the diamond.
Chief of Umpires Harry Wright is really
| a fgurehead. He has nothing to do with
the scheduling of the umpires; he cannot
make any change in their routes. and he
| cannot even make suggestions to them.
Everything must be done through Presi-
dent Young. All that Harry is called
upon to do is to watch the work of the
men and report to the fountain head.
In the series which has just closed in
the National league. between the eastern
and western sections. the east won So
games and lost only 81, remarkably fine
showing. The surprise of the series was
the work of the Washingtons; they did
trife better than New York or Philadel-
phia. Louisville failed to win game.
while Chicago did nearly as good work as
Cleveland and Pittsburg
With Pitcher Stein at home SICK, Kins-
low with a sore thumb, and Foutz nursing
badly swollen leg, the Brooklyns are not
in the best of shape to face the western
clubs.
More hard luck for the Phillies. On
Wednesday their catcher, Grady, turned
an ankle and had to get out of the game.
Cross was put behind the bat, and new
aspirant named Murray was put at short.
Both Arson and Comiskey had to get
back into the game, and both did better
than the men they supplanted.
Billy Joyce is ostensibly on the sick list
with an attack of the charley boss. 1t is
limited. however. that Billy had a scrap
with Manager Schmelz and was laid off.
Harry Wright is said to be the only man
living who thoroughly understands the
base ball rules. Mr. Wright should be
careful of his health.

THE MANLY ART.

Wat rbury, bridgeport and Naugatuck
Men Hold a Carnival at Seymour.
At Seymour last night pugilistic carni-
val was held to determine whether Water.
bury or Bridgeport had the better men
with the gloves. A big crowd was present,
a large delegation going from this city.
The Bridgeport boys won everything
easily. The Bridgeport Union says:
1t took less than a round for Harry Lane
to best Jack Lynch of Naugatuck. Lane
knocked Lynch out a few seconds after
the latter put up his hands.
Ike Williams had so with Tom Magner
of the Brass city and easily got the deci-
sion without half trying.
Fred McGlrr next showed Jack Nelson
of Waterbury that the latter wasn't in his
class. Fred made it very warm for Nelson
and could have put him to sleep at any
period of the contest.
Buck Taylor had a bout with George
Bees of the Naugatuck valley metropolis
and captured the decision.

Big Sturgeon In the Connecticut.

Win Smith of Wethersfeld, while draw
Ing shad net. Tuesday, in the river near
the cove, drew in a mammoth sturgeon
weighing 200 pounds and measuring feet
from tip to tip, or z feet inches of solid
fish. 1t is rare that a sturgeon of this size
is caught in the Connecticut, although q
few small ones are sometimes taken. The
fish was very easily drawn in, making no
resistance. He was tied by his tail and
allowed to take the freedom of the river
so far as the line permitted. Occasionally
some one drew him out to meas IRE him or
test the solidity of his flesh by finger prod
ding. The small sturgeops cut up we'll
into sturgeon steaks and this big one will
probably be sold for a like purpose.

KEEL | Y

Advises everyone to buy their flour to- day
| to feed your families for u year. if you can
afford 1t, and save money.
The sharp advance in wheat last week led
to heavy buying of flour both in home and
foreign markets,
This reaction was largely caused by the
oversold condition of speculative markets.
Parties who had long been active bears" re-
allied the danger of being short at any
thing like present figures in view of the fact
that weather conditions throughout the
wheat belt have lately been unfavorable.
Other strengthening influences were very
large decreases both in the visible supply"
of wheat in America and the amount of wheat
on passage" to Europe from all over the
world.
The sharp decline in the gold premium in
the Argentine raised the cost OF delivering
that wheat in Europe. and caused quick adj
vance in English and Continental quota
tions.
The government crop report for May indi-
Gates the following results in round num-
bers:
Acreage. winter wheat % mil. Yield. win
ter wheat. 27S mil.
Acreage. spring wheat. 10 min Yield. spring
wheat, 1856 mil Total crop. winter and spring
wheat. 4l3 million bushels,
This is considerably below the average Of
the past ten years,
Regardless of speculative fluctuations in
wheat. flour is very cheap at to-day's prices.

little Giant the Second,

Price, Carbon county, Sept II.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Allow me space in your most valuable
paper for the following:
In a Republican convention held here
at Price Sept. TO- 1894, a certain individual
of Price, Carbon county, Utah, namely
A. Ballinger, made one of the famous
cracks, which so we'll suit his principle
and abusive manners as a would-be poll
tician, that by rights we ought to call
him little giant the second as the name
becomes him so well, in his poor sphere
of action. Says the great ~ orator, In
follows Grover Cleveland is a sucker"
How well the would-be leader of the Re
publican party of Carbon county in these
few words, proved his own, as we'll as
his party principle. The very utterance
of that miserable, low down, piece of
SANDER and abuse proves his hatred, is
we'll as that of his party, toward our
great American liberty How he would
like to destroy the greatest of all hui
man blessings free will, and free choice,
the only road to happiness and prosperity,
for which the fathers of this great and
broad land of ours so nobly sold their
lives and Herewith established our own
loving people so dearly cherish. How
well the gentleman would like to dictate
and whip the people into line. But no,
Mr.. Ballinger, not just yet. Your calibre
is too small, your views are too insig-
nIficant. We would much rather follow
Mr.. CLEVELAND as suckers" than follow
you and be beggars, as the last men
toned is the only fact your brain has
ever been able to establish beyond a
shadow of a doubt, and all through your
poor and misleading Republican princi-
pie. HENRY FIACK.
