he is in the best condition that he has
been since he began his career on the

"Tom" Bannon of the New York base
ball team, and wko played on the Paw

are better than few days ago. Mr.. ]
James E. Hassett of this city, who SO
successfully umpired several leagu e
games, and also num- ber of contests be-
tween strong amateur mines last year, is
looked upon as prominent candidate
for the position. He is regarded with
favor by the leading movers in the New

a successful candidate.

A Remarkable Potato.

Andrew Maxwell, we'll known
merchant in Glasgow, was in the
island of Arran some years ago with
his mother and sisters The weather
was unusually warm, and his veneer
able mother suffered so much from
the heat that her hands became
swollen, and as her marriage ring
was fretting her finger one of her
daughters, after no little coaxing,
persuaded her to allow its removal
To the dismay of the daughter the
ring was lost, but she procured an
other so like the old one that the
change was not noticed when it was
placed ON her finger.
Next year the family went back
to the same house, and in the au-
tumn, when the farm servant in a
neighboring building. having boiled
potatoes for the pigs, was crushing
a potato in her hand, she felt some-
thing hard, and, on looking at this
thing inside the potato, she ex-
claimed TO one of the Maxwell serv-
ants who was beside her, Here's a
ring in the potato, and showed a
thin, worn marriage hoop. Il be-
lieve, said the other, 1T is my
mistress ring, and we can find that
out because her initials were inside
the hoop" On examining II there
were the initials, and the lost ring
was identified 1t had evidently been
swept out among the ashes, the ash
es thrown upon the ash pit. the con-
tents of the ash pit on the potato
field, and the ring absorbed by the
potato inside of which it was found
a year after it had been lost!-Good

Not Pretty, but valuable.


In discussing the risks which pro-
fessional ball players run and the
prevalence of decrepit and crippled
fingers in the profession, the base
ball editor of the New York Herald
recalls the case of Silver Flint, once
a famous catcher, whose hands were
mutilated and pounded out of shape
Back in the eighties Flint was in a
railroad wreck in Illinois When
they dug him out he was badly
skinned and somewhat stunned.
Several surgeons who were at the
scene of the accident began a hasty
examination of the half conscious
baseball catcher to discover what in
juries he had received. They found
none until they raised his right
hand. 1t was bloody (from a cut in
the wrist, and of course in its nat
ural unshapeliness. Good heav-
ems y exclaimed one of the surgeons,
. the poor fellow hash a whole bone
in his hand. 1t will have to be am
putated. " Silver was regaining con-
seriousness and heard the doctors
decision. jerking the member from
the would be amputator grasp, he
yelled: Cut it off, eh? Well, l guess
not It's bit out of gear, but there's
not another in the League that can
stop a wild pitch so well. Excuse
me; III keep it, I've use for it in
my business.

TRUSTEE WACHHORSTS POSITION. +
He Was Always in Favor of Sidewalk
improvements.


He Was Always in Favor of Sidewalk
Improvement.
Trustee Wachhorst says that he voted
against the rule adopted at late meeting
of the board, that no more sidewalks
should be condemned except with the
consent of the Trustee representing the
ward in which the sidewalk is located.
He was the author Of the amendment to
the old ordinance, permitting repairs
when good walk had been accidentally
injured. but he says that he is now and
always has been in favor OF condemning
dilapIdated walks, and having them re-
placed by stone walks. \ month or so
ago there was another amendment drawn
to allow repairs to all walks, but it was
not introduced. MI. Wachhorst at that
time prepared the following remarks,
which he intended to make in opposition
to the proposed amendment, and which
explain his position on the subject OF
sidewalk improvements:
'In ObjeCLing to the amendment pro-
posed this evening l wish TO add a few
remarks, which | consider the occasion
warrants.
During the month of July last I in
troduced an amendment TO the original
ordinance relating 10 stone walks, which
was passed bythis board. This. although
q step backward, was done in justice and
Ienlency 10 prOperty-0WnersW whose walks
were up TO the standard, but suffered
from some defect in its construction. But
l claim that an ordinance once passed
should become municipal law, and not
a mere opinion. to be altered, set aside or
repealed at every session.
''In reviewing the ordinances and
amendments that have been enacted
since the existence Of our organization
under the new charter, l am startled at
the inconsistency that manifests itself
throughout so many changes 1t is time
to call halt. No ordinance should be
passed or amendment adopted until it
has received the careful consideration
and delibeTation of every member of this
board, with an eye ever open to public
improvement and in keeping with the
present era of progress and prosperity OF
our community.
The amendment proposed this even
ing Is surely a GeIriment TO public well
tare-a step in the direction OF silurian-
ism. If the ordinance is so defective that
1t needs new amendment at least once
d week, 1t would be better TO repeal ii en-
urely and not cucumber the municipal
statutes with lot Of rubbish whose
relative matter has become lost by the
obstruction Of an amendment to every
clause.
las the original ordinance, with the
original amendment conforms to all re-
quiremeuts and has shown good results,
l say, gentlemen, let ii stand as ii is, and
let us stop this shuttlecock method OF
. tamperiug with the laws which have and
are now doing US good service"
IN this connection it may be added that
Trustee Davis also declares that he did not
vote Tor The new rule providing that side
walks shall not be condemned without
the consent OF the Trustee, and that he
proposes to move 10 have il rescinded.

Curdy.
When McCurdy was sworn, Clerk Des-
mond told him to take the chair, and
climbing up in the witness chair, the
witness stood up in it. Justice Davis

is the matter?'
Mr.. Jacobs struck me in the eye with

The Court Thinks lie Escaped Easily
With That Sentence.
. Minotte c. Young was sentenced in
the Police Court yesterday to six months
in jail for striking Mrs. +. Eugene Yale
on the head with a stick of wood.
In sentencing him Justice Davis said it
was evident he was a man of violent
temper and dangerous man to be at
large. The matter of whether shots were
fired or not was immaterial, although he
thought the complaining witness was ex-
cited and imagined they were fired. The
evidence, he thought, clearly indicated
that oung was guilty, and he was lucky
in not being charged with assault to muir
der. He had intended 10 infiicC an extra
ordinary sentence on him, but would be
more lenient, and would sentence him TO
SIX months Imprisonment.
