PASSED AWAY.
neath of Captain john I. little.

Death of Captain John r.. Little.
Captain John L. Ldttle died yesterday
afternoon at his home, No. rs Pearl
street, from wound i'm his neck inflict-
ed by himself. Captain Little had been
in poor health, suffering from Bright's
disease for months past, and had grown
weary Of living. He had suffered at
times intense pain that seemed unerl-
durable. This, together with his ad-
vanced age, eighty-six years, was no
doubt the cause of his act. Yesterday
noon he spoke OF taking a bath and,
being very feeble, his grandson, who
was near him, asked him IL he should
not assist him to the room, but the old.
gentleman declined the proffered aid
In about fifteen minutes a heavy sound
in the direction of the bathroom was
heard, and fearing that he had fallen,
members Of the family fastened to the
spot and found him bleeding and nearly
insensible. When his body was lifted
a large cut was found in the left side
Of his neck and at the side of the tub
was found the knife with which he had
committed the deed. DIR. Rollin Mcneil
was summoned, but MrsLitt1e was be-
'yond help He died at half-past one
O'Clock. DIR. M. @. White and Coroner
MIX were notified and after examination
decided the case one, of suicide
Captain Little was eighty-six years
of age and in his younger days was
sea captain. He iad'eailed from almost
every American port and ali over the
world. 1t is thirty-five years since he
retired from active life. He lived for
many years in Kennebunkport, Me.
About eight years ago he came to this
city from BOSTON, and had since lived
here, cared for most tenderly and low
ingly in his declining years.
He leaves one son, George H, Little,
general paymaster Of the Consolidated
railroad, with whom he lived, and three
The remains will be taken to Kenne-
Me-, for inlterment.

I should very much doubt the pro-
priety of the state in lending'ilegal sane
ton even to W bet Of a red apple In
other words, it gems to me that the
laws relating to morals, so far as they
go, should be on positive moral lines,
whatever may be allowed by omission
I'm the statutes.
Moreover, the suggested amendment
seems to me to proceed upon an objec-
tionabfe and hazardous principle, mas
much as it would introduce local OPP
tion Into the criminal law of the state.
The analogy ofelocal option with regard
to the sale of liquors Is fallacious, as
>a certain necessary use of liquors is
generally admitted, while no necessary
economic use of the wager will be al
legged. Moreover, 1 fear that the local
option proposed, which would be left
largely with the selectnen, might open
the door wider than you or any of us
might desire to gambling association,
which have been driven out Of neighbor-
ing states. The proposed amendment,
would not only permit such refined
forms Of betting as might ador11 the
honest races at Charter Oak Park, but
1t might permit foreign racing associa-
tfons in their Punishment from their
states, to colonize themselves in con
venient places in our own state, to
the injury of the neighboring com
n1unity, who would be powerless to.
drive them from their borders.
If this portion Of the gaming laws
can be delegated to the towns why
may not other portions of the gaming
and all other criminal laws be so sur
rendered by the state to the towns?
Such a change in the established policy
'of the state might have at least the,
moral advantage of localizing hell in
some towns; but do not see any other
or sufficient reason for reversing the
historic policy of the state in making
one criminal law for all the people with
out favoGitism or distinction Of class.
Yours very truly,
NEWMAN SdYTH.

ITo Senator Coffey Regarding the Pool BiIls
\ Following is the reply of Rev On.
l Smytn ito a letter of inquiry which was
received by him recently from Senator
Coffey regarding the pool law amend.
ments
New Haven. May-15, 1885,
Hon. Charles CoffeyS
Dear Sir--I would acknowledge the.
courtesy which you show me in sending
to me for my opinion draft Of the
Iproposed amendment to the pool law
now under advisement.
AS you allude to the original ideas of
L those of us who first drafted the exist
ing pool law; would state that, when
we appeared before the judiciary COM
rnittee two years ago, we had in mind
the single evil of the city pool room
where the races were played all the
year round. 1t was proposed by others
to amend our bill so that the Ives pool
law might in substance be tackled upon
it. by which a legal sanction would
have been granted under certain con-
ditions, to pool selling at chartered
race tracks. That proposition we then
refused ito assent to, as we. held then,
as now, that the state should not lend
positive sanction ITO betting under amy
form
For the sake of securing legislation
against the specific evil, against which
our bill was aimed, we consented to an
amendment as follows:
"Section 3--Nothing hereinbefore con-
tanned shall affect anything done at
the actual time and place of a horse
race, but this section shall mot be con-
strued to legalize betting or gaming,
or to impair the effect Of present stat
Irtes, in so far as they may apply to
betting or gaming at any time and
place"
This harmless concession was, how
ever, rejected by the Judiciary COM
mittee, as were other amendments pro-
posed at the time.
The condition, of course is different
now, when the question lis not as 1t
was then, whether any legislation on
the subject can be obtained, but whether
existing law relative to gaming should |
anywhere be relaxed.
My personal opinion, for which you
kindly ask, would be this: AS NOR
alist L might tolerate some things as
of trivial social consequence, which |
as a legislator could not |
sanction by a positive statute. For |
example, might not feel myself called |
upon to interfere, if / should happen |
to hear man in some natural ex-
say, q Bet a red apple" but |
If the state OF G91neoticut should step |
in and declare. ut shall be legal for
you to bet a bdshel of red apples pro-
vided you do it in a farmers back
yard, with permission Of the seleetmen,'

THE TENNIS ToURN4MnNr.
FOote Still Holds the Championship

FOote Still Holds the Championship
Probably Close To-day.
1t was expected that yesterday would
be the last day In which the struggle
for the New England championship in
tennis would continue. 1t seems not,
however. Mr. Arthur Foote, the pres
ent champion, did not choose to give
up his title without determined effort,
and he made that effort so strong that
his adversary was glad to hear the
game called at even points. The game
was interesting from the fact that
safe tactics kept winning him
points, and at one time he was Within
one point OF the match. The change
from the play of the day before, when
Chace rushed everything, to the skillful
and persistent lob of Foote's, was wor-
rying Rowland, cutting OFF his net play,
while his other aggressive work was
gradually using him up. The two first
sets were won by Foote, rs, 6-2, and the
last two by Rowland, the score being
the same. The game was
called on account of the darkness and
fog, and will be played all over again
to-day, commencing at o'clock. tt
will he a contest worth seeing.

the grangers, industrials and coalers.
The improved condition Of the crops
and the further decline in wheat had
no influence whatever, and the western
stocks at one time showed material
losses. Atchison was especially weak,
and sold down to on transactions of
IL, 400 shares, the weakness being due
to liuuidations by holders who desire
