DENIES THE CHARGES.

William e. Hunserford Makes state
ment Concerning an Article In q Sunday
Paper.
William @. Hungerford met DEMooRAT
news gatherer this morning and told the
following story relative to an article pub
lished recently in a Sunday paper, in
which Mr. Hnngerford was accused of sun
dry acts outside the bounds of the law.
A certain brick block on Canal street has
been in Hungerford's charge for short
time and he was accused of defrauding the
owner of the rents, of neglecting the place
and also neglectiIg to pay taxes and water
rents. He was also charged with being a
high flyer and of owing innumerable bills
for teams, etc.
I'm the first place" said Mr. Hunger
ford. 1.-The property in question is my
own. 1t was at one time in charge of II.
S. Scovill, as part owner, who decided his
interest to me because he was in my debt
assume nothing, the property was quit
claimed to me by Mr. Scovill, for my own
benefit 1t was stated that Albert E.
Smith of Bridgeport was the owner and
that he was here last week and found mat
tiers in terrible state. Mr. Smith was not
here. As regards the water rents they
have been paid, and by me. 1t was also
stated that the income from the block was
$50 month. That is also I'M
true; the income is only $S4.
There is now due for back rents
1864. l did not take charge of
the block in January. but came into pos
session of it In March. Since that time l
have received from the block about $164
In payments of water rents and also for
repairs contrary to the report that the
block has been neglected, 1 have put out
S247. The taxes-are not paid and for the
following reasons: 1t was the understand
ing between Mr. Smith and myself that I
should collect the rents and pay the water
rents and for repairs. We were to have n
further understanding as to how and by
whom the taxes should be paid. Mr.
Smith is to be in Waterbury this week to
perfect this plan. AS regards n certain
livery man remarking that he would like
to know if 1 owned the pair of horses I
have been seen driving, as he wanted to
collect bill from me. have this to say:
1 will make present of 500 to anyone
who will produce the hveryman to whom
l owe money. l owe no bills but what l
can pay and have always conducted my
self accordingly. 1t appears to me that
there is misunderstanding all around

received package by the United States
Express company from Boston, the other
day. that he did not quite understand
Enclosed were several circulars, containing
instructions to agents, and twenty tickets
of the Little Louisiana State Loan and
Trust Co" Mr. Walsh Is not speculator
in that kind of goods aud thought at first
that mistake had been made. After
reading the circulars, however. it dawned
upon him that it was merely bait to
have him act as agent for the company.
The tickets were marked in some way max
ing them worthless unless paid for before
to-day. when the drawing takes place.
The goods came from James l. McCusker
of Boston, New England agent of the COM
pany. and instructions were given not to
send postoffice orders or registered letters
as the company would refuse to receive
either. The tickets were signed by j. p.
Monterey, president, and the cash capital
is given as S750,000. 1t is probable that
other Waterbury parties have been APP
preached as was Mr. Walsh. They should
know that it is violation of law to deal
in lottery tickets and act accordingly.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Dahlen of the Chicagos made seven hits
with total of 10 in the three Boston Chi
cago games. including four home runs.
Irwin made four hits in the series, and
they were all home runs.
Says an exchange: "Anson manages to
pick up some of the most ungainly looking
players in the business. Lsnge resembles
Bob Fitzsimmons in form and features
and can hit as hard. PARROT looks like
"Old Sport" Campana on the third day of
six-day go-as-you-please."
1t is refreshing to note that an umpire
had the nerve to call down Doyle of the
New Yorks. A few more pocketbook
touches and this young man Will be re-
stored to a condition of common sense.
AS far as conduct on the field is con-
cerned. it is great come down from
Roger Conner to Doyle.-Boston Herald.
Pitcher PARROT of the Cincinnatis has
not been as effective lately as he was when
he started out.
An operation will be performed on Short
Stop Allen of the Phlladelphias on We'd
nesday so that he may have the full use of
his eye. 1t will be two weeks before he
can play. Thompson has begun practice
aud will join the club in the west.
Gus Shallix, who was one of the Cincin-
natl Reds pitching corps back in 'S4 and
S5 has an idea that his arm has been born
again. He will be given trial by Capt
Comiskey. and join the team when it
returns from st Louis.
The wonderful playing of the Balti-
mores is the talk of the baseball world. 1t
was conceded before the season opened
that they were liable to cut quite figure
in the race. but nobody dreamed that
after two months play they would hold
first place by lead of seventy points.
The Baltimores by their splendid work
have proved that young, hustling players
can win the most games nowadays. Five
years ago the base ball public had never
heard of Kelley, Brodie. Keller, McGraw,
Reitz, Bonner, Jennings, Clarke. Hawks
and Brown. These youngsters were in
minor leagues and obscure country clubs.
Now they rank as league stars.

State Convention to be Held Thursday II


State Convention to be Held Thursday In
New Haven.
4 state convention of the Hibernian
Rides has just been called to be held in
New Haven Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock. This convention. 1t will be re-
membered, was to have taken place in
Danbury at the time of the biennial state
convention of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans, but on account of the resignation
of the lieutenant colonel. n few days be-
fore the convention was to be held. the
matter had to be delayed for a couple OF
weeks.
The most important work before the
convention will be the election of a colonel
and lieutenant colonel to succeed Patrick
McGovern of Hartford. and William j.
Spain of this city. who held TIE offices and
both of whom resigned.
The present major, Murphy of Bridge
port. Is now prominently mentioned as a
likely successor to Patrick McGovern.
Should he be elected there will be a va
cancy in the office of major to fill. Cap
tain Dunn of Wallingford will probably
get the commission of lieutenant colonel.
