Missionary Came Four Thousand
 Miles to Have 1t Pulled.
 NEW YORK, March 14.-The Rev. William w. Waddell, a missionary sent out by the Presbyterian board, has just ended 4,OO0 mile trip from Bahia, Brazil, to this city in order to have tooth drawn, though much more serious consequences seemed to confront him. Two eminent Brazilian physicians told the clergyman that what he supposed was an ulcerated tooth was we'll defined epithelioma, or cancer, and advised him to take the next steamship for this city, where he could be treated in hospital.
 It happened that there was steam ship in port that day, and another was not expected for two weeks. MT. Wad- dell's wife urged him to start at once, and he hurriedly went aboard. It took eighteen days to reach this port. MT. Waddell arrived and went at once to the Presbyterian hospital.
 II think you need dentist" said Dr. Ellsworth Eliot IT,, after micro scopical examination. "You have an Liberated tooth." Dr. Eliot recom- mended dentist, who drew the tooth, and MT. Waddell said that he was bet ter.
 MT. Waddell has been stationed in Brazil for several years.

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD

ed for the worlds title in this class by Harry Forbes of Chicago, made his second appearance in this country last night before the Ariel A. c. ill a six round bout. His opponent was Danny Dougherty of Philadelphia, who was the premier bantam before he was de throned by Forbes. The weight was 122 pounds. The pair went the limit and, had decision been rendered, it would undoubtedly have been draw. Tokell showed considerable aggressive spirit and made good impression.
 The sixth was the hottest round of the mill. Tokell in one of the clinches threw Dougherty to the floor, but it was accidental. Toward the end of this round Tokell received a lot of gruelling and took 1t without a mur- mur. The fight was witnessed by a crowd that fairly packed the building.
 San Francisco. March 14.-That feeling between Terry McGovern and Young Corbett is not all newspaper talk was shown last Thursday night, when the featherweights who are to fight on the last day of this month, met in Harry Corbett's saloon.
 Terry came forward when he caught sight of Young Corbett and put out his hand, but the Denver boy appeared not to see the "glad mitt." Terry flushed up, and his Irish temper leaped into his eyes as he said:
 'sYou haven't anything against me that you won't shake hands, have you?"
 Young Corbett, with battle glinting in his eye, said:
 eE. ,1xs,, In 1e between us two. We are to fight. and that is all there is to it.''
 This angered McGoyern so much that it was all his friends could do to prevent him from flying at Young Corbett and settling things with bare knuckles. This incident shows that it will be a real fight for blood when the two men meet.
 Bob Fitzsimmons says that he is not going to let either Tommy Ryan or Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia get away from making match with him at middleweight limit if he can possibly help it. Tn dispatch to friend from Oil City, Pa, where he is touring with Champion Jim Jeffries, F'itz wired: q have forwarded articles of agree ment binding my proposed match with Jack O'Brien of the Gilsey house for O'Brien to sign. He challenged me and I did not lose any time in coming to the front, as the public is aware. He named his own terms and readily agreed to them. Now. he must put up or shut up. The same thing applies to Tommy Ryan. understand that he has not retired and that he really wants to box me. We'll if he is on the level, which I doubt, I will meet him at 1858 pounds Marquis of Queensbury rules or at 154 pounds with bare knucl1les. This is no idle boast either I can make the weight, and if any of those would-be scrappers think other. wise they can make $5,0O0, which I have already posted as forfeit. If Ryan or O'Brien don't fight me, my challenge is open to any one else. pro- vided they will bet $5,OOO on the side and winner take all."

Agreement To Be Made With Massa-
 chusetts League.
 New Haven, March IA. The basket ball magnates held meeting at the Garde hotel yesterday afternoon. Near ly every manager was present, besides the officers of the league. The chief business was in regard to the enlarge ment of the league and this was done by admitting South Norwalk and Stamford. Bristol men wanted to put a team in the league, but for the pres ent it was decided to leave that place out.
 With the admittance of the two new teams the league, with managers, is as follows: Stamford. J. J. Dowd, mana ger; South Norwalk, W. ,Sheehan, man. ager; Hartford, H. Fl. Jennings, man. ager; New Britain, c. IF. Barrett, man. ager; Meriden, T. L. Reilly. manager: Waterbury, T. B. Guest, manager; New Haven, w. Aufort, manager: Bridge. port, w. l.. Lush, manager.
 The following are the officers of the league: President, J. " Rieger, New Haven; vice president, E. eL. Maloney. Waterbury secretary and treasurer. J. l.. McGovern of Bridgeport. Owing to the selection of MT Reilly as mana ger of the team. he was forced to re- sign from the vice presidency. The Meriden franchise was transferred from A. Mains to MT Reilly, because the Mohawk club of that city refused to play in the league if MT Mains was manager.
 Messrs Barrett, Lush and Loud were chosen a committee on rules and MT Dowd was selected to confer with the managers of the Massachusetts leae11e with regard to making an agreement for the protection of managers and players. It was also decided to have the fields as near uniform as possible. 1t was further decided that the fields shall be fenced in, thus doing away with the ball going out of bounds. Only one referee was appointed, he being James Farmer of Stamford.
 The visiting teams will be obliged to wear red suits: home teams any color they choose. The visiting teams will get guarantee.

NEW YORK, March 14.-New York lawyers believe that if the Panama canal treaty is passed by the United States senate William Nelson Crom- well will receive the largest fee ever given to a lawyer in this country if not in the world. The report finds general credence in the Wall street district that 1000, or per cent. of the money to be- paid by the gov ernment for the partly finished ditch across the isthmus will go directly into MT. Cromwell's pockets. It is doubtful if any fee approximating that can lawyer for strictly legal services.

GLASGOW, March 14-The spars for the Shamrock III. are finished and ready for stepping after the launch of the challenger for the Americas cup. In designing the sail plan William Fife was influenced by the difficulty experi- enced in keeping the long gaf and
 boom of the Shamrock I. to stay aboard and work satisfactorily in breeze, and he abandoned altogether the long, low sail plans which were characteristic of his boats. The challenger's sail plan is of the Columbia type. It is high and narrow and has a striking development designed to give extra sail area with uot extra rating measurement. 2

Tnis is the second lecture of the series
and was interesting throughout. DIR.

"Charles Dickens is a household

LAND MARK
TORN DOWN.
ONE OF THE OLDEST BUILDINGS IN
MILFORD
Is Being Raced to the Ground to Give
Place to Modern Structure-HaS
Very Interesting History.

The frame house on North Walnut
street, adjoining the store of William
Viereck, which was formerly owned
by Mrs. Anna b. Hyer, and which was
recently purchased by George Handy,
is being razed TO the ground to give
place to a structure of modern de3ign.
This is one of the remaining old land
marks Of Milford, which are becoming
fewer and fewer every year. A part of
its history will probably be interesting
to many readers.
1t is over one hundred years old and
was one of the original eighty houses
built in Milford between 1850 and 1880.
The nails used in its cOnstrI ction are
of a peculiar pattern and worthy Of
notice. They were manufactured by
hand in England and brought over to
this country. They are about one-third
wider than they are thick, and have a
peculiar fiat round shaped head. JON
athan Milman, who was an old man in
1888. built and for time owned the
structure, and for number of years
msde it his home The late H. w
McColley, who died at an advanced
age, said that the first wild animal
that he ev,r saw, was when small
boy his father took him to see ha
savage bear at that house. During its
career it has had many tenants.
1t was occupied by Rev. T. P. Nc
. Colley for some time, who was then a
halter. For number of years an &C.
centric and jolly old oyste'man, called
Glenn Me sick, kept an oyster and ale
h use there, and Ann Messick his wife
was famous for o, ster stews. Hel
daughter, Hess Messick, married Tom
Oskins, who was hung for the murder
of John Bennett.
Jonathan Milman also built the mar
row fronted dwelling which sto d
where DR.. George w. Marshall's drug
store now stands. 1t was the first
place where William Henry Smither'
and his wife after their marriage re
sided. Hon. w. w. Smithers, Of Phil
adelphia, is their son.
In place of the unsight'y old building
which is now being torn down, Mr.
Handy will build modern brick store
with dwelling attached.

Skating on the Lake.

week has IN ade about three and half
inches of ice on Silver Lake, and the
Young people of the town have been
enjoying skating to the fullest extent
Not only has the young been indulglng
in this pastime, but many of mature
wears have been seen gliding over the
frozen ice. 1t is said by those who
have been skating for number of
wears, that this is the finest ice
ever on the pond for that purpose
It is as smooth as glass, not only in
some places but over the entire lake.
Drs. Layton and Frank Grier have
hung their life ring at convenient
place on the lake TO he used in case of
immergeucy. aud the skaters wish to
express their appreciation TO them for
this kindness.
