ford and Waterbury are the doubtful places The Hartford team had plenty of trouble last season and things are in very complicated state, so far as Hartford is concerned, at the present time. The Hartford club owes the league $49 for the last umpires' assess ment, and the league ordered that this sum be paid within week. The other conditions in regard to the Hartford team are such that should the manage ment fail to produce the $49 within the prescribed time the Hartford franchise will probably be transferred. In regard to Waterbury, MT. Harrington stated that he was in quandary as to secur- ing proper grounds. He also said that he had good men signed and would place strong team in the field. If suitable arrangements cannot be made in Waterbury he stands willing to take the team to Holyoke, Mass.
 Thomas Dowd of Holyoke, was pres ent at the meeting as privileged guest. When the Waterbury matter was considered he was allowed to state that he stood ready and willing to pur- chase the Waterbury franchise. proVid ed it could be secured at reasonable figure, and that he would take the team

to Holyoke. MT. Dowd gave it as his opinion that Holyoke would prove a paying town and he would like to see a team located there.
 After discussing the circuit matter very thoroughly the magnates voted to postpone action until a later date. Messrs. Canavan, Bristol and R. Con- nor were appointed as circuit com mittee to investigate the situation and to report at the next meeting.
 A committee on constitutional revis- ion was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Morrissey, Bristol and Canavan.
 Applications were received from a large number of prospective umpires, but no action was taken on any of them.
 The meeting adjourned to meet again at the call of the secretary, it being un- derstood that the next session would be held within the ensuing week. =.

 Physicians from the hospital succeed ed III restoring most oI those WHO udu been hurt to consciousness, and the re- mainder were taken to the hospital. Here it was found that Laughter, the colored man., was so badly shocked and burned that he may die. He is still unconscious and delirious from the accident.

DEATH OF Ex-OAPT. SHERIDAN.
Was the First Captain in charge of ths
 Grand Avenue station.

In the death of ex-Pollce Captain Peter Sheridan, which occurred yester- day at his home on 24 Cottage street, a man influential and prominent for quite a period of years in New Haven has passed away. The latter part of his life was burdened by i'll health, which was of long standing, and for many months past he had been slowly failing with malady recovery from which was hopeless. He bore his de- privations and sufferings with remark able patience and fortitude, cheered by the devotion to him of those nearest and dearest and the solicitude of friends
 Ex-Captain Sheridan was born in Ireland about seyenty-four years ago and emigrated to this city as a boy. He had a, brother John, who was a foreman in Fitch's shop, and he went to work under him and learned the moulding trade. He afterwards went to work at Parksley's foundry and worked there until the company failed. While there he did all the heavy moulding and was considered an expert at his trade. Af- ter MT. Parksley failed MT. Sheridan took the position of foreman under MT. Parksley's successor and remained there for years He then went to work for c. w. Goodsell the fruit dealer. Tn 1860 he joined the police department as roundsman under Chief Bowen In 1870 he became an acting lieutenant and on July 6, 1871, he was slappointed lieutenant. From 1871 to 1873 he was acting captain. This was because JaiIor Weaver was appointed superin- tendent of police but refused to accept the appointment. Captain Hyde filled the vacancy during these years and Lieutenant Hyde took his place as act ing captain. In 1873 he went back to his position as lieutenant, as a new SUI perintendent was elected, and served in that capacity until 1882. In Decem Der, 1882, the Grand avenue police sta tion was opened and he was appointed it's first captain. In November, 1883, he resigned from the force and engaged in the grocery business in Nicoll street and continued in that business for sew eral years, finally retiring from active business on account of i'll health. He leaves four sons, Richard, John Mat thew and Edward He also leaves three daughters, Mrs. Thomas Shanley, Mrs. Bernard Lynch and Mrs. Thomas Cox.
