 FAIRFIELD.

PROTECT FAIRFIELD's SUPERB BEACH.
 In some unaccountable manner the character of the shore at Fairfield beach has within recent years undergone a change. Its tendency is such that some steps should be taken in the immediate future to prevent any encroachment of the sea upon the beach. Wind and tide together have wrought changes in the beach within the past decade and it is said the waves often dash over portions of the beach, that until quite recently were secure from such invasion. If this is allowed to continue it is feared that the bathing beach at Fairfield, acknowl- edged to be one of the finest to be found on either shore of the Sound, will lose some of unexampled advantages. Plans for the better protection of Fairfield's magnificent beach have been scussed but nothing definite can yet be said con corning the outcome.

After Six Innings, Sprink1ed With
Errors, the Score Stood Six
to Three.

The home team, with the aid of Harper
In the box, took game from the Oakland
ers at Central Park yesterday afternoon.
Johnson's pitching was wild and un-
steady, and the San Franciscos touched
him up for little total of eleven safe hits,
four OF which were two-baggers.
it was an ideal baseball afternoon. but
only about 600 people seemed to think so
seriously enough to pay admission to what
turned out to be pretty slow exhibition.
Fortunately it was stopped at the end of
the sixth inning by approaching dusk.
In the third Sweeney made beautiful
pickup catch at third base just in time to
make Fraser's slide for the bag q little SEN
sational. In the next inning Van Haltren
came in from the southeast like runaway
team and scooped in Franks long fly.
Sweeney made three grave errors during
the game, and his pretty one-hand stop in
the first of high one fielded 10 third from
deep center was forgotten in his later
fumbles.
1t was in the fifth that the Oaklands
seemed to reach climax on costly errors.
In that inning the home team got three
men across the plate and this settled what
seemed foregone conclusion after the
uISI lHUluB.
San Francisco was at bat first and
Lally started with single to right and
came home on Franks two-bagger way
down into the southeast corner. Frank
took third on Werrick's single, but mo-
ment later was caught off the bag. Straus
famed, while Werrick reached second.
Then Sweeney landed it over the right
fence for two bags and Werrick went
home. Power trotted down to first after
four of Johnson uncertainties and Fraser
retired the side with fly into Treadway's
spacious palms.
O'Rourke and Irwin never reached first
ahead of their tielded hits. Burns singled
and Pickett sent ground-scorching single
past second, and then it was that the
crowd applauded when Sweeney stopped
the throw from center. Treadway waited
patiently for four balls to shy clear of the
plate and then went westward, but Van
Haltren sent one down to Straus in right
and the Oakland team never scored IN the
first.
In the third Sweeney scored for San
Francisco, after taking first on bye,
going to second on Mullane's slow recov-
cry from catch, and taking advantage of
FIaser's single to Van Haltren.

.F|SH-DEALERS co TO Law,
Result of a Business Rivalry
in the Clay-Street
Market.
The Brothers Bajardo and Francesca
Langrillo Sue Maurizio Batiano
for Slander.

81 pesci sono miei; sono stati presi
dal mio CARO- hanno rubato IL mlo
sangue."
Thus spoke Maurizio Batiano to Ste
piano Bajardo. Antonio Bajardo and
Francesca Langrillo on the 8th inst, and
great is the excitement in the Clay street
market over the events which have fol-
lowed this announcement. The man who
spoke conducts fish-stand in the market,
as do those addressed, and a rivalry exists
between them. Each tried to undersell
the other, until bad blood was engendered,
and now, instead of resorting to blows,
the Justices Court has been asked TO
bring peace to the warning factions by
declaring the brothers Baardo and Lam
grilo sIandered and entitled to $299 SO
damages.
For time there were torrid passages in
the fish mart Favorite Italian epithets of
contempt and derision were freely BAN
died about, sometimes almost creating
small riot but these encounters OF words,
occasionally punctuated by the swish OF
a stale fish through the air, were not
looked upon as sufficient to warrant re-
course to the scale of justice.
There came day, however, when
Batiano thought he was shy box OF fish
and he Immediately jumped to the con-
clusion that his rivals had stolen his
wares. Planting himself in front of their
stall with uplifted hand be exclaimed in
a tragic voice that echoed through the
barn-like structure:
s'The fish are mine; they were taken
from my wagon; you have stolen my
blood" or words to that effect, for the
Italian words are hard to translate into
cold English. The plaintiffs in the suit in
which Batiano is named as defendant
claim that prior to the time they were ac-
cused by him their regulations were good,
of the crime of larceny. They believe that
the words complained of were intended to
injure them, and that their tarnlshed
characters should be regilded by the dol
lars of the house of Batiano. Barry &
Bianchi are attorneys for the plaintiffs.

A FAMOUS CIRCUS-R|DER.
Jennie Lind Is Again a Patient
at the Receiving Hos
pital.
She Is Suffering From Morphine Poi
soning, but When or How Taken
She Does Not Know.

Jennie Jones, whose fame as Jennie
Lind. the circus rider, was known through
out this continent and also in Europe, is a
patient in the Receiving Hospital, suffer
ing from morphine poisoning.
She had been in Stockton for the past
two months, in the hospital there. She
belongs to the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, and her case interested
Jack Fales, member of the Salvation
Army. He left Stockton for this City a
few days ago, but before leaving he offered
her home for some time, with his aunt
here, and told her to come on the boat
arriving yesterday morning, and he would
be ut the wharf to meet her.
She left Stockton on Friday night, arriv-
ing yeste roav morning, but Fales was not
there to meet her. She had only Is cents
in her pocket. and she walked to a restau-
rant at 137 Fourth street and spent 10 cents
for a meal. She has been sufferer from
spasms and cramps for long time, and
after leaving the restaurant she swallowed
large dose OF patent-medlclne mixture
to ease her pain. She was picked up al
Eighth and Harrison streets in an uncon-
scious condition and taken to the hospital.
After recovering consciousness she said
she felt discouraged at not meeting Fales
and took three large doses of the mixture.
She had been addicted to the use of NOR
phine, but broke away from it two months
ago. She could not understand why she
should be suffering from morphine poison
ing, because there was no portion of that
drug in the patent medicine. She had no
desire to commit suicide.
81 was born in Lennox, Dak., she said,
''and joined circus when l was years
old. l travelled with Barnum & Bailey
throughout the States and also in Europe.
l vas a bareback rider and singer. l was
married when was Ii years of age, my
husband being also a circus performer.
He died in Illinois eight months ago, and
l retired from the ring. | am only %
years of age, but / have suffered greatly
from spasms and cramps, which prevents
me from doing anything.
''If had only few months rest think
would be all right. My little girl. who
is now five years old, is in charity school
in Iowa.
'If Jack Fales had not told me that l
could find home with his aunt 1 would
not have come here. L haye no friends
here. and am penniless."
About four months ago Jennie was taken
to the Receiving Hospital here suffering
from strychnine poisoning. At that time
it was stated that the poison was in some
candy she had been eating.
