THE BOAT CAPSIZED.

Sailing Party Had a Narrow Escape
 Off Lighthouse Point Yesterday.
 George Thompson, well known local insurance agent and Miss Carr and Miss Davidson, two young women who are spending a portion of the summer at MT. Thompson's cottage, Sunset View" Morris Cove, had narrow es- cape from death by drowning about 5:3O yesterday afternoon.
 The party were out sailing in a small catboat and had just rounded Light house Point, when a squall struck them and the boat was capsized. The waves were rolling very high at the time and the wind was blowing a perfect gale. MT. Thompson used his best endeavors to right the boat and assist the young women, but was unable.
 The accident occurred when the boat was about two hundred feet from shore and as the young women could not swim they came very near drowning. Joseph Butler, an employe of TaylOr'S hotel, saw the accident and, assisted by the hostler of the hotel stables, saved the unfortunate young people from a watery grave. Miss Davidson had gone down twice when she was reached by the hostler and rescued. MT. Thomp- son hung on to the boat, and with the assistance of the young men managed to reach the shore.
 Both of the young women were very badly frightened, but otherwise suffer- ed no bad effects from their dreadful experience. There was great excite ment among those on shore who saw the affair.

 Manager Rose of the Danbury team has given up the control of the team and the players are trying it by them selves with George Cain as manager. Although they will play no home games they will make Danbury their head quarters. They are open to any offer to transfer the club to another city. If they cannot pay expenses during a weeks trial they will let the team go to pieces. For some unknown reason they object to playing in Meriden on Saturday. As they cannot very well have a game at home the question arises as to where they want the game to be played

flercely that the fishermen feared their nets would be broken before they could succeed in killing them. Alter several hours work, however, the sharks were hauled to land with the rest or the catch, and placed on the banks on eS- hibition. Of late years the appearance of sharks in the harbor have been few and far between, and it is thought thls is due to the fact that the immense schools of white fish have almost disap- peared from this locality.
 Many old residents remember seeing sharks-man eaters, eight or ten feet long, which were caught off the end or Long wharf. The late Harpin Linsley was one of party that caught several large sharks in the channel at Long wharf. The sharks were balted With salt pork and a trace chain was used for lines in order to prevent the sharks from biting them in two.

 About 200 Soldiers Sent Home in a
 Floating Stable.
 Washington, Aug. 1.-The war de- partment has on it's hands still another hospital ship scandal Information has reached the department that the con- dition of affairs on the Santiago, which has arrived at Egmont Key, Fla, with sick and wounded on board, is fully as bad as that of the Seneca and Con- cha.
 The Santiago arrived at the quaran- tine station. Egmont Key, several days ago, and since then the sick soldiers have been kept aboard ship. The ves- sel was last used for transporting the horses of General Randolph's artillery brigade to Santiago, and was converted into a huge stable for that very pur- pose.
 After the ship had discharged her cargo General Shafter was in great haste to send the Santiago back to Tampa for use in transporting troops and supplies to Porto Rico. It is re- ported unofficially to the war depart ment that the Santiago was started on the return trip without having been cleaned also that she was made to car~ ry about two hundred sick officers and men.
 She still has these on board, while the quartermaster's department is mak- ing slow arrangements to carry the of ficers and men to New York on the San Marcus

 A FAMILY POISONED.

William $. Bentley, a painter of 203 Munson street, together with his wife and three children, was poisoned on Tuesday from eating mouldy bread They had moved from Division street on Monday. Mrs. Bentley had baked bread on Saturday and had stored it away in tin cases. It was dampened during the removal and was covered with mould. The mouldy places were cut away and the family at the bread. MT. Bentley himself was first taken i'll and suffered from terrible pains in the stomach. Dr. c. S. White was called, and, discovering that it was a case of poisoning, succeeded in relieving MT. Bentley.
 Later Mrs. Bentley and the children were taken with the cramps. It was only by vigorous work that they were relieved from pain. Dr. White at first thought that the poisoning was caused by impure milk, but upon e&amination of the bread he discovered that it was the cause. The family is now out of danger, although still feeling the effects of the poisoning.

AT NEW LONDON.

Meriden, Aug. 4.-Both Meriden and New London made an equal number of hits in the game this afternoon, but Meriden was more fortunate in bunch ing her hits in the sixth inning, which netted five runs, and was the only in- ming in which she scored. New London landed one run in the second, which was the last time any of the Colts crossed the home plate during the game. The work of Cling and Howell, the opposing pitchers, was of the star order.

State League.

Yesterday New Haven lost it's first game on the home grounds since the 18th of July. Both pitchers pitched an excellent game, Giblin having some what the best of it. Ashes game was fine and would have won any ordinary game. Bridgeport only secured four hits off of him and they would not have meant run with proper support. His one base on balls came in the ninth and amounted to nothing. The home team could not find Giblin with any success, Duffy alone finding him for scratch hit.
 Not a hit was made until the first half of the fifth, when Began singled, was advanced on Dietrich's error and Hassermer's sacrifice. He came home on a poor exchange of throws by Luchia and Pfenninger in an attempt to catch Giblin at second. O'Rourke scored in the next inning on his two- bagger and Dietrich's and Luchia's er- TOTS. In the last half New Haven tied the score on a base on balls, Duffy'S hit, sacrifice and two errors. In the eighth two singles two sacrifices and an error netted two more runs for Bridgeport.

Mr.. CrOIxer's RenIy.

William NJ. Tweed must be very dead in
deed if at this time his bones are not rat
tling with amusement. He was not deficient
in humor when alive, and this invoking of
his shade by the boss of Tammany Hall to
forward a campaign by Tammany for hon
esty and reform is riotously diverting
enough to reach into and even beyond the
grave. The devil rebuking sin has hitherto
done service the most striking of con-
tradictions. But that must yield first place
now. For Mr.. Croker reformer, point
ing warningly to the record of Tweed, sees
that and goes the devil one better.
The reply of Mr.. Croker to the indict-
ment of the Bar Association is in every way
an unus Ia1 performance. In the first place,
it is not the work really of its reputed au-
thor at all. Mr.. Croker, as everybody
knows. is quite incapable of preparing an
article for publication. His talents lie in
the direction of such organization as Tam
many Hall knows, and of enforcing disct-
pline after the fashion of holding men in
terror. This reply, therefore. has other
parentage. Mr.. Croker merely stands for it,
and in this way he has been put in the gro
tesque position of trying to play the cor
ruptions of former boss of Tammany Hail
as trump card in the game of the pre-
tensions of the present boss of that organ
ization as a reformer and a protector of
the interests of the people.
There is nothing but this grotesque eX-
hibition in Mr.. Croker's reply. The arraign-
ment of his conduct by the Bar Association
in the case of Judge Daily is not met at all
except by repetition of his first assertion,
that ii is none of the Bar Associations busi-
ness what he does about the making or un-
making of judges. Tammany Hall is all
right and he is all right. and the Bar Asso-
citation and everybody else disposed to be
critical toward the Tammany program may
go hang.
Nevertheless, there are signs that the peo-
pie of New York earnestly resent Mr.. Gro
ker's latest outrage, and are eXerting them
selves to rebuke him at the polls. 1t is
high time that they should. The presence
of such a man at the head of the demo-
cratic party of the greatest state in the
Union is a reflection on the character and
Intelligence of its people. His proper place
IS not above that of ward striker. and his
activity there even ought to be carefully
regulated in the interests of honesty and
decent government.
