Little Richard Washington, son of
Mayor Washington, on Saturday put
some soda and vinegar in bottle. He
shook it and there was an explosion, and
the little fellow sustained some abrasions
of the skin on both cheeks near the eyes
Now he can have some faint conception
ofthe blowing up of the Maine Strange,
isn't it, that in the great battle at Mani
la Dewey's men were only damaged in
the aggregate eight times more than was
inflicted by the explosion of Richards

McCOY-CORBETT PROPOSED
 FIGHT

New York, Sept. 19.-Charles (Kid) Mccoy refuses to hold any further con- ference with Corbett and his manager relative to the change of date and place of his meeting with Corbett He was not present at a meeting which had been arranged for this afternoon at George Considenes saloon, but instead sent a letter. All the pugilistic celeb rites in town, including Corbett and Sharkey, were on hand. Following is the letter from Mccoy:
 George Considene, Manager of James J. Corbett:
 Dear Sir---I do not think it necessary to meet you or Corbett according to the date which was published in the daily print. I have been notified through my manager, William Gray, that the Flaw thorne Athletic club of Buffalo will pull off the proposed contest between Cor bett and myself, which has been set for October 15. Therefore I do not see any need of meeting MT. Corbett or yourself this afternoon.
 Very respectfully yours,
 Charles (Kid) Mccoy.
 The letter was very unsatisfactory to MT. Considene. He thinks that Mccoy is trying to get out of the contest and insists on Buffalo when he knows that the match cannot take place there. Mccoy could not be found this after noon. ...

WALLINGFORD EVENTS.

Two New Haven men with @ road tricycle. propelled by naphtha passed through here about o'clock yesterday afternoon. The machine attracted much attention and made fair head way on the good roads, but in the sand 1t was hard work. The route was up Colony street, crossing over at Moon- ey's crossing on to the state road from Yalesville to the culvert, where about half way up the boulevard a plug on the valve blew out and disabled the machine. A passing tin peddler con- tracted to tow the party and vehicle in- to Merlden for seventy-five cents, and the contract was fulfilled and the New Haven men will continue their eXperi- mental trip when the break is reme- died.
 The horses attached to Bowers soda wagon had runaway on the boule- ward near Doolittles bicycle rest yes- terday and a number of boxes of bot ties were thrown to the ground, broken and scattered over, quite a distance along the road. It took several bicy- clists an hour to clean up the path from broken glass.
 Yesterdays recorded real estate transfers were: Alphonse Gendron to Selectman Rienze H. Stone of Cheshire, four houses and lots, 200x400 feet on Elm street; Charles D. Rolfe to David Kelly, lot 50x150 feet on Whittlesey avenue; F, J. Hall to A. F. Pierce, house and lot on Whittlesey avenue
 James McLay, jr, of New Haven,

 this evening in room over the town | clerks office.
 E. B. Treat of Battery A is home from Mantle on a thirty days fur
 tough. Frank Treats leave of absence has been extended for thirty days. A. B. Norcross has moved his drug business into the store of F. A. Wal | lace on Center street
 | A marriage license was issued yester- |
 day to Orazzio Reunnino, an Italian, | and Louise Smith, colored, of Brooklyn. William Hassett and Thomas Burke
 are the appraisers appointed in the l John c. Broedlin estate.
 George H. Bellows and Miss Anasta-
 si Lucy Whalen will be married We'd nesday, October 5, at the Holy Trinity 1 church.
 It seems to be the general opinion
 that First Selectman W. Burr Hall will
 be the unanimous choice for renomina-
 tion at the republican caucus. The
 fact that he has conducted the town
 affairs for the past year and made such
 a fine showing and still have a surplus
 of $S,000 is something unheard of in the
 management of the town since it be-
 gan it's existence.
