Two Mines From Pin Shop Play Good
 Game of Ball.

Game of Ball.
 A corking ball game was played at the local grounds late yesterday after noon between a team from the press room of the Pin shop and picked team from the rest of the shop. After an exciting contest the picked team won by the score of 21 to 19. The players from the press room made grand ral- ly in the ninth inning and almost suc- ceeded ill winning the galssss 9ltry scored six runs and had two men on bases and two out when Bill Davis came to the bat and famed the air terrifcally three times. The coaching of J. Cassidy and the base running of NJ. Cornell were features of the game. Umpire Bride gave the press men the worst end of the bargain. The bat teries were Madden, Wallace and Moore for the press room and Barker and Lachance for the picked team. Moore pitched good game, but he was too liberal with his bases on balls. Captain George Johnson felt e1ated ov- CT the victory of the team but Captain Jim Madden desires another contest which he says his team will win easi- ly.
 The regular prayer meeting will be held at the Grace M. B. church to- night
 The quarterly meeting of the New Haven County Health association, which was held in this place yesterday was a success in every way. Among those present were County Health Of feer Dr o. A. Lindsley and Professor W. H. Brewer of the state board of health. About sixty five delegates and guests were present After various papers of interest and importance had been read, a magnificent spread was | served in Carter's hall. The mspec- ton of Hubert NJ. Rigney's crematory followed. The members expressed l themselves as highly pleased with it. 1t is needless to say that those pres ent at the meeting yesterday had a | fine time when it is known that they
 were the guests of Hubert NJ. Rigney. He paid all expenses. His reputation
 as a host is too well known to need any lengthy comment.
 ! It is not known yet whether there
 will be a game here tomorrow after noon. The chances are, however, that I the Watervilles will cross bats with the 1 traction company's team. The trolley men were to inform the local manage ment this afternoon whether they could ! play tomorrow
 The first accident on the macadam road occurred last night about 12:30 in | front of the property of NJ d. Carney. From the Dayton place to the cemetery there is a deep ditch, being three or 1 four feet higher than the rest of the road. It is a dangerous spot. Last night at the above hour a man and woman were driving 1eisurely along Main street in single team. When they reached a point in front of M. J. Carney's property the carriage was ov- erturned and the occupants were | thrown headlong to the ground. The shrieks of the woman aroused the resi- dents of the neighboring houses. Be sides a few bruises the occupants es- capped uninjured. There was no dam age to the wagon After things had been placed in proper shape, the horse { refused to .ge forward and he had Ito be led. Who the couple were, lit was 1 impossible to ascertain. This stretch of road between the Dayton place and the cemetery is dangerous Contractor Pagan when informed of the accident l stated that he had cut away allof the
 bank that his contract calls for. The
 chances are if the matter is not rem
 edied there will be several suits against
 the town in the near future as acci- dents are bound to occur there.
 l A sad and wretched sight was seen
 in this place last night. A woman, who was too drunk to walk, laid down l in ditch on Dwight street where she was found by Officer Terrell. The lat ter telephoned to the police authorities
 in Waterbury asking for a conveyance
 to carry the unfortunate woman to the station. He received the reply that
 no conveyance could be sent and to place the woman in place over night and bring her to the station in the
 morning. The officer was in a quan-
 dary as to what should be done. Ow- ing to the lateness of the hour, there was no place where the woman could
 be lodged over night. She begged pite- l ously to be carried to her home and to her children The officer at length
 found out where she lived. It was | some house on Scovill street and he
 half carried her and half dragged her
 to her home, an edifying sight to her children. This affair shows what q
 bane intemperance is and what difficul.
 ties Officer Terrell has to contend with.
