 In two years Tyers has not met defeat. and the only amateur who could give him a battle royal is Arthur T. Kenney of Philadelphia, champion of the United States. kenney, who is an Australian, came to this country to take a dental course at the University of Pennsylvania. He astonished Americans by his rare speed and endurance. At the swimming cham pionships of the Atlantic association July 90, lS92, kcnney won the 100 yard race in l minute seconds and tho mile in g minutes G 2-5 seconds. A light current favored him in each race. He was again successful at the Canadian championships a month later, winning both the 100 yard and mile events He was back in Philadelphia in time for the A. A. T.. championships, both of which he won.
 Last year Kenney was in great form at the A. A. Y. championships at Chicago and won the 100 yards in minute 12 2-6 seconds and the quarter mile in the Amer ican record time of minutes 24 2-5 sec onds- His latest successes at Travers is- land on Sept. l5 fairly entitled him to rank with the greatest swimmers in the world. He won tho 100 yard champion ship on n straightaway course in 1 min ute 9 3-5 seconds, time which has never been equaled by any amateur or profes- sional in the world under similar condi- tions. Although sick, he turned out some hours later for the mile championship and won after a waiting race in 33 minutes 3i 2-5 seconds over a course with seven turns.

Robert Hilliard must feel particularly gratified at the unstinted- praise bestowed upon him for hIs characteriZ stion of Jack Medford in the awfully funny comedy The Nominee" which he will present at Jacques opera house tonight. Every body knows Bob" Hilliard and If they don't they have heard of him and those who know him are sure to be in attend ance. while those who have never seen seen should embrace this opportunity and at the same time have an evening of in cessant laughter and merriment.
 ParIor Opera House.
 The PaIlor opera house announces for the week an attractive programme. made up of people that have never been in Wa terbury before. Several vocalists Tn both popular songs and comic specialties will appear. there are dancers. change artists and black face comedians, and Fred Hurd, the magician. make up varied bill that should be attractive to many. An origi- nal afterpIece entitled, Waterbury After Dark" in which all the members of the company will be seen, is a feature that will undoubtedly be sensational and funny.

6AS E BALL

Another state League Proposed wuh
 Jim O'R"urke as Pr. sident.
 The Meriden Journal has commenced thus early to agitate the formation of ano- ther state base ball league. naming the towns of Norwich. Meriden, Hartford. New Haven, Waterbury. Winsted. Nor walk. DAnbury or Bridgeport and New Britain as members All these cities have electric roads running to enclosad grounds and could be formed into m eight club league.
 Let Jim O'Rourke. attorney at law. and a noted base ball player. be chosen presi- dent of the league and other responsible men put in as directors. says the Journal. and Connecticut will have a base ball league that will last the season out and not sink a lot of money. Connecticut league with James H O'Rourke at its head would be a go beyond any question. If MT O'Rourke will only interest himself in a state league project Connecticut will see some great base ball Tn '95. just ten years after it enjoyed its most notable season of the national sport.

The case of Rev Alfred Day vs the city of Waterbury was heard before Judge Bradstreet in the district court to-day. The plaintiff is the minister of the Pearl street colored church and the city dug a trench through the church property, dam- aging it. he says. to the amount of $500.
 The home of Mayor and Mrs E. G. Kill duff, on State street, was the scene of a gay and happy throng Saturday afternoon. when a score or more of the little friends or Master Edward Kilduff assembled to kelp him celebrate his fifth birthday. The young folks danced and frolicked as only children can, when given the oPpor- tunity. They spoke pieces. sang songs and did full justice to the refreshments. which were furnished in abundance. Master Edward was the recipient of many useful and novel birthday gifts.
 The funeral of Maggie German took place from the residence of her parents. Mr and Mrs William German, 13l River street. to St Patrick's church at $50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. where ser | vices were conducted by the Rev Father Lavless. There were a large number of beautiful floral tributes, among them be- ing some handsome pieces from Miss Tracy of the Ridge street school, the em- ployes of the American mills and the playmates of the deceased. The pall- bearers were Charles Miller, William Cor man. John German. Henry McGuinness and Joseph AIcGuiDness. Iuterment was in St Joseph's cemetery.
 It seems to be the general opinion of all 1 thoughtful citizens that something should be done to guSrd against further loss of life in the pond at the rear of Steele x JOhnson's factory. The number of children who have been rescued from drowning there during the past few years is gfeat and some action should be taken by the authorities to compel the owners of the property to built fence around 1t so that it will be no longer n constant source ot danger to the children of thee neighbor- hood the whole year round. In summer time parents are in continual dread that they will be at any moment called upon to see their children hauled out of that cess pool The danger is much greater Tn the winter season when several hundred peo | t,le can be found there trusting their lives | on the treacherous ice. It Is not alto gether the depth of the water that renders this place so dangerous. but the muddy. sticky substance at the bottom which makes it almost impossible to pull oneself out of It. Apart from this the ntighboIs have often found fault with having such a pool of water in front of their windows and many believe that the malarial germs lurking around it contribute largely to the l frequent visits of contagious diseases

 BRIDGEPORT. Dec 10.LAt 3;30 o'clock this morning a work train with half hun dred Italians bore down on the Fairfield avenue West end crossing. Two minutes later the trolley wire and cable of the Traction Go. which ran under the tracks, were severed. The work done the train started back to New Haven. The line watchmau ran to police headquarters for assistance. He had scarcely started when the train depart ed The watchman notified Sergeant Redgate, but it was too late to accomplish anything. The Traction Co ran cars over the new route yesterday. It was a sharp dodge as the railroad had no warning and did not know until the cars were running that the new line was in operation. The Consolidated railroad seems determined to do all in it's power to prevent electric opposition. What can be gained by such a course remains to be seen.

 . NAueATucK. Dec 0---An informal meet Ing of 2 humber of our taxpayers. regard less of party. was held on Saturday nigh when the matter of town and borough sy s tenn of government, outside of our own was quite freely discussed. It was deem- ed advisable to appoint a committee of five. consisting of Fl. O. Baldwin. William Ward. Oscar Warner. B. B Tnttle and Patrick Brennan. to investigate. and re- port at some future time. when, if deemed advisable. public meeting would be called.
 If there is any one thing more than another that should claim the attention of our citizens it is the asking of the next general assembly at Hartford to enlarge the borough to the boundaries of the town 1; also to do away with the dual government by a special act. and the establishing of a borough court to do all criminal business of the borough. with a judge to be ap- pointed by the governor at a fair salary, the term of office not to be less than four years.
 Justice Lawlaus says we did not quote his remarks correctly. as regards his not convicting man for being drunk. unless he was an old rounder: also, that he had tried cases when about all interested were drunk. He says the reason he gave vast that the others might have been drunk. The judge complimented us highly by calling us - fool, still we live and breathe freely.
 There were four arrests since Saturday evening. three for intoxication and one on complaint for annoyance.
 The open drain alongside of the heaters at the coat shop was full of water for some days until yesterday, caused by a stoppage under the railroad track. Complaint was made of bad odors from the ditch. and ar- engagements were made to open it.

The High salaried Jockev..

The high salaries paid to jockeys in re cent years have attracted great deal of at- tentiOn and not little criticism. Within the past seven or eight years Garrison, Simms, Murphy, Taral, Mclaughlin. Der. gen, Doggett and several others have drawn salaries ranging from $5, 900 to SIS, 900 per annum, and the lad Griffin makes an annual earning of about $20,- oO0 In fact, any jockey of prominence can command a higher compensation than the chief justice of the United States says Captain Absolute"
 When we consider that in any other field not one of these youths could earn $500 per annum, 1t causes many a man to doubt the superiority of mind over matter and VOW talent and learning are a delu- sion and a snare. Yet 1t is very much in obedience to the law of demand and sup ply, after all. There Is n demand for that kind of talent. and the supply is limited, and as the competition Is keen and the best only desired the competition forces the price. Es~ a- sa1
 An owner of a stable of the best horses will save money by paying the highest price for a jockey, as he will win more than will pay the difference in salaries be- tween Tarnl and third rate rider.

sELEcTMAn PENNEY.

Wants to be Jafier. But May Accept
 the Position of Deputy ssheriff. 5s
 Aspirants for the position of iailer for the New Haven county jail and for deputy sheriff of Waterbury want to watch Third Selectman Pinney pretty closely. He is by long odds to-day the most favored of any of the candidates He wants the position of jailer and his petition is signed by the leading rsp-s tentative republicans not only of this city but of New Haven also. It is said on pretty good authority that the only other candidate of prominence is A New Haven German. but it is also taii that Sheriff Spiegel has intimated that he can scarcely overlook the strongly backed petition which Candidate Pinney presents. Another thing. also. which is considered, the German is said to be a democrat, which would make his chances very slim. It is said out. on good authority. that if Mir Plnney does not receive the appointment of jailer he can have the position of deputy sheriff. No other candidate will be considered II he wants the position. Mir Pinney could not be seen to-day relative to the matter. but his friends although non-committal gave the reporter the impression that MT Pinney will fill either the shoes of Jailer Keefe or Sheriff Carmody.

among chess players Albin was born at Bucharest 46 years ago and has been play ing chess for 22 years. He won the cham pionship of Vienna several years ago, and at the Dresden congress in 1899 surprised the chess worlf by defeating the hitherto invinciblc Dr. Tarrasch, the German cham pion.
 Albin came to this country about q year and n half ago in quest of the popu- lar American dollar and has taken rank as one of tho best second rate experts now playing the game in America. About n year ago he put up a very strong game in the international tournament held at the Manhattan Chess club, New York. In this tournament Emanuel Lasker gave the world an example of the wonderful skill that was soon to wrest the champion ship from Stcinitz by winning IS out of l3 games and first prize. Although pitted against tho best men in America, Albin secured second prize. In the recent in- ternatiOnal tournament at the same club Albin again won second prize, first prize going to William Steinitz. Albin is a strong simultaneous player. He is now en- gagged in n match with Showalter, the score of which Dec. 1 was: Showalter z: Albin, |; drawn, 3.

LABOR CONVENTION.
The American Federation Opens In Dcnve,
 Today.

Today.
 DENVER, Dec. i0.-The convention of the American Federation of Labor opened here this morning. John Burns member of the English ps.i Iidnent; Samuel Gom- pers, president of the Federation; Richard Holmes of England and J. J. Maguire were present.
 Notwithstanding that the delegates to the convention profess ignorance of the adoption by the delegates of resolution fa- voring the free coinage of silver, it is very probable that such resolution will meet with very little opposition. On the ques- ton of immigration some decided views are expected from the convention. They will probably be in the shape of resolu- ton asking congress to limit the foreign immigration to this country for a number of years Beyond doubt the principal busi ness to come before the delegates will be the adoption of u platform.
 This is the fourteenth annual conven- tion of the Federation, and 1t has this year attracted general interest among all tho labor organizations throughout the country and in fact all over the world The meeting will be ono of the most i'm portant ever held by the Federation both for the number and high standing of the delegates and visitors who are here and the importance to the labor interests of the questions that will betiscussed. The mat ters that will come before the convention will be of supreme interest to labor throughout the entire country. One of these is the establishment of n national labor commission of l5. composed of five from the agricultural interests, five from the labor organizations and five from the manufacturing interests.
 There is no doubt but that n severe struggle will occur when the election of officers takes place. Samuel Gompcrs, president of the organization, is a candi- date for reelection. John Mcbride, presi- dent of the Mine Workers union, Is con sidcred n strong candidate and Is said to have n large following. Other candidates will likely come to the front before the election takes place,
 It is believed that Sccrctary MeGuire of tho United Brothcrho4fof Carpenters and J0iuers and General secr5tAfy Chfit fvaisa will find strong opposition against thoir election to any office, as they arc, with Gompers, responsible for the action of the Federation last summer in Chicago in re- fusing to recommcnd sympathetic strikes in support of the American Railway union railroad strikes. The main opposition of the west against Gompcrs is that he Is a New York man and Is said to be opposed to silver. It Is likely, however, that the present officers of the Federation will be reelected.
 While Samuel Gompers pulled through with Q very slender majority last year. he has made many friends since then, not withstanding the many different reports about his cautious action during the Chi | ca1o strike.
