Curious Find at state Prison.

Considerable excitement was occasioned in Wethers6eld yesterday by the rumor that an attempt had been made by a con- yict to escape from the state prison. At the northern part of the prison property and near the turn in the main road which runs in front of the prison was found an entire suit of clothes, black in color, and not much worn. They were lying in plain view of passers by and had evidently been done up in A bundle originally. but had been spread out by some finder. This discovery gave rise to the report that they had been left there for convict to wear in exchange for the stripes. At the prison. however. Warden Woodbridge said that he discovered them yesterday after noon and upon inquiry. found that an elderly woman, A stranger. sat down be- heath the tree and when she arose to con- tinue her journey she either Intentionally or accidentally left the bundle where she had rested. The warden. however. dis credits any attempt on the part of con- vict to escape.

Willie Days Sad End.

The recent suicide of Willie Day, the world famous runner, was great shock to athletes all over the country. Days spe- cialty was long distance running, and the figures which Inc set up several years ago for all the distances from !. to | miles, inclusive. and for 10 miles, have not been touched. although many n crack has had a go at them. On Oct. 26. 1sS9. being then in his twentieth year, Day created great enthusiasm among the athletic circles of the cntirc country by ing all previous American amateur records in his great 10 milo performance nt Staten Island of 52:3S 2-5.
 This record has not since been cqualcd. Tho feat was followed up by another rec ord breaking performance about n month later, when he established the present American amateur record for four miles. This was accomplished at Bergen Point in the fine time of 2O:l5 4-5.
 On May r., 1890. in New York, Day had another try at the American records and succeeded in putting up new figures for all distances from IT. to miles, inclu- sivc, as follows: lI4 milcs-time, 5:49; Js miles-time, 7:O2 4-5; l4 miles-time, S:l5 To; 2 milcS-timc, 0:32 3-5. On May 30 following Day made new Amcri- can records for 2 J4 miles and miles also with performances of l2:l0 3-5 and 14:39 respectively. Tho championship meeting of tho Amateur Athletic union, held in Chicago on Sept. l6 of last year, brought Day forward again as a champion long distance runner, and he added the five mile championship of America to his list of running honors. The time was 26:0S 2-5. With the possible exception of T. F. Conncff. Day was the grcatcst distance runner in tho world. An un- founded charge of cmbczzlcmcnt broke his heart and caused him to hang himself. Bcforo his death was known his employers announced to the newspapers that the nc cusation was tho result of m error a2d that Day was not an cmbczzlcr.

THAT GAM E.

It Was a Farce But the Reception Pre- F pared Fly New Haven oniciais Was r. Perfect to'.
 The Waterbury official base ball team met defeat in the championship game be- tween the officials of Waterbury and Aeri- den in a game played at Savin Rock yesterday afternoon. The general opinion of all who witnessed the game seems to be that our friends from the Silver city were a little too anxious for the laurels and in their determi nation to conquer run in several players, which it was agreed should not be included in the list. After long dispute. in which some of the Meri- den men showed themselves master kick CTS. the game was started, and not being played by the regular town officials as agreed upon, the affair was a one-sided contest and did not create the same in- terest as it would if it had been confined to the officials. At the close of the sixth inning the score stood Meriden II. Water bury 2, and here the contest ended. Dr James Kelly, the veterinary surgeon, um- pired the game and gave excellent satis- faction.
 After the game all the contestants and a number of invited guests repaired to Moeglin's Beach house. where a fine shore dinner had been prepared by the New Ha- ven town government. An elaborate menu was served, consisting of steamed clams baked bluefish, fried oysters, lob- sters. broiled chicken, pickles, tomatoes and cucumbers, which was thoroughly ap- preciated.
 During the dinner Attorney Sawyer of Meriden presented a monster bat seven feet long to the victorious team and ano. ther six inches in length to the Brass City team. Attorney Sawyer also presented Town Agent Garrity with a silver punch bowl from his Meriden friends and Select man Pinney presented Captain Garrity with an open face gold watch on behalf of his Waterbury friends. Speeches were also made at the supper by Mayor Sargent and City Clerk Martin of New Haven, Mayor Ives and P. J. Quigley of Meriden and a number of others.
 The Waterbury men are loud in their their praises of the hospitality shown them by the officials in New Haven. The New Haven officials will play the visitors a game at the clambake of the Quinnipiae association at Pawson Park, Thursday September 13.
 The New Haven Palladium says: "A feature of the game was a long hit | by Houlihan of Waterbury which caused the eighteen men of both teams to run in. "James Hynes of Waterbury. who ii said to want Sheriff Tomlinson's place assured the genial sheriff that he was the best friend he had within 1099 miles oi New Haven"

DEALERS MADE NOTHING

How savh on Taking whisksy From
 Bond w.s Not Altogether Lovely.
 According to wholesale liquor dealer in this city the trade does not profit so much by taking whiskey out of bond be- fore the higher tax went into effect as most people imagine. They cannot charge any more to the consumer than they did under the old rate, and while it is true they avoided the payment of the higher rate it was at the loss of the in- terest on the money that it took to get the whiskey out of bond.
 The larger dealers laid in a stock that may last them a couple of years, but after that they will have to suffer a more direct loss Another thing that takes the profit of is the charge for storage. The whole saler cannot keep the liquors himself for the insurance would be two per cent, too high a figure to be paid on any great amount not wanted for immediate use. That is to say nothing of the room that would be required.
 The dealer who furnished the above in- formation to the reporter gave it as his candid opinion that it was the tax on the liquor that enabled some of the retail dealers to live. by making adulteratIon so profitable. The tax on whiskey is now about three times what the cost of pro- duction is.

MMARY PROCESS.

Trying to Eject Frank Miller S Co From
 Their Premises on Bank Street.
 A hearing on a summary process suit was held before Justice c J. Griggs this morning. The contesting parties were E.. R. Lampson and Frank Miller X Co. At torney Burpee appeared for MT Lampson and Attorney O'Neill flor Miller & Co. It was an action to have Miller & Co vacate the office occupied by them next to the post office. Attorney O'Neill first moved for plea in abatement. The substance of this was that City Sheriff Mcdonald had no authority to serve the papers on Miller. Justice Griggs held that the special acts gave him that authority. The answer was then filed that by virtue of lease from May l, 1894, at yearly rental of S575, Miller t Co were now occupying the prem ises. This was denied by the plaintiff. Attorney O'Neill then made another mo- ton that jnry be summoned without re- quiring the defendant to furnish a bond. as the statutes were unconstitutional. This was overruled. He moved then that a jury of twelve be summoned in in place of six. This was overruled. A jury of six was then ordered summoned ill for next Wednesday.
