THE TRIP TO.
 HANOVER MONDAY

The members of the Merrimacs are now hustling for their excursion which they will give to Hanover park on Labor day. The excursion given by this club each year has become so popular and there have been so many requests made to the club to run an other excursion this year that they have finally decided to do so. It will be remembered that on Decora hon day, when they ran their last ex- cursion to the park, one of the best exhibitions of baseball ever seen in the park was witnessed. The COIL testing teams were the Merrimacs and the Dublins of Meriden, and re suited in tie game. This game will be played off next Monday at the park and it should draw a large crowd. Tn addition to other events which will be held at the park, the management makes the announcement that it has made arrangements for one of the best fireworks rdisplays that were ever seen at the park Tick cts for the round trip are 30 cents and can be purchased of any of the mem bers. The following committee Is in charge of the affair: James Bowling, Thomas Kenney, Thomas Lyman, Thomas Driscoll, William Ghent, Thomas Reilly and lanes Hayes.

Gratifying Surprise Given by the

Gratifying Surprise Given by the
 Army of virginia.
 GAINESVILLE, Va, Septs 3.-Ffve thousand regular army troops have been roaming territory comprising 65,0O0 acres of Virginia farms for near Iy two weeks. The only depreciation reported thus far har sssAen the loss of $wo chickens.
 This record is a gratifying surprise even to the regular army officers and is an example to the nilitiamen who are to pour into the two maneuver camps today.
 When the farmers of the maneuver zone were approached by army officers with a proposition to lease their lands for the maneuvers they were given pledges that there would be no depre- dations. These promises have been full filled to the letter.

GO B, HIBERNIAN RIFLES.

A meeting of Go E, Hibernian Rifles,
 will be held tomorrow at 1030 a. m.
 Tn connection with this company it may not be out of place at this time
 to call the attention of the young Irishmen of birth or descent of this city to the benefits that are to be de- rived from becoming members of it. It is needless to say that it is com posed of an orderly and intelligent body of young men. A short time ago this company decided that as a further attraction their members should have the benefit of doctor and $2 per week when sick or dis abled For this the members are obliged to pay 25 cents per month to the company and 30 cents to Division 5, A. O. H., of which it is necessary to be member, making a total of 75 cents per month, in return for which you receive the benefit of a doctor and $1 per week. Surely this is an invest ment in which any young man s1ouid be glad to take stock Now that the drill season is approaching the com pany expects it to be the most sue cessful in its history and have practi- cally decided to commence the drill exercises one month earlier than uS- ual. It will be opened with a dance on Saturday evening, October 1, and good time is assured for the mem bers and their friends, and of course Tom Keane's orchestra will be in evil dence. A word of praise is due Cap tain Griffin for the manner in which he has helped this company to attain high water mark. Drills are held Tuesday evening of each week. *

SUPERINTENDENT MILLER
 GOT LETTERS MIXED

The old mistake of putting letter intended for one envelope into another is responsible for B. N. B. Miller sev- ering his connection with the Open Hearth Mission at Hartford. It was said by one of the managers yester- day that during the summer Miller wrote letter to a woman who was not his wife The letter was written at a time when Miller wrote other let ters. one of which was to one of the managers of the Open Hearth Mis- sion It is said that the letter intend cd for the woman got into the envel- ope addressed to the manager, and the letter intended for the manager got into the envelope addressed to the wo- man.
 Soon after the letters were received by the persons to whom they were dI- rected Miller knew of the mistake, and it was said that the character of tho letter received by the manager, which was intended for the woman made 1t desirable for Miller to take vaca- tion. It was said yesterday that Mill Ter is now in a hospital in Massachu- setts.

Death of Former Consul Recalls Celebrated Incident.

Celebrated Incident.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-William c Riley of Virginia is dead here at tho Washington Asylum hospital, agec seventy. He was the only man in the ice who did personal violence to the sovereign of the country to which he was accredited
 President Grant appointed Mir. Riley consul at zanzibsr, where American consuls had long been subjected tc gross indignities by the natives.
 MT. Riley was presented to the sul. tan, but found that the sultana was the real power. Mir. Riley was inform. ed that he would not be permitted tC display the American flag over the consulate, as it's appearance was dis. tasteful to the sultan and his subjects. The consuls hot southern blood boile1 at this restriction, and he retorted iA vigorous fashion.
 The flag did fly. Mir. Riley related that he shot to death with his fowline piece two members of a guard of sol diers sent to cut down the colors. The sultana sent word If the flag flew twen- ty minutes longer she would haul 1t down in person. Mir. Riley sent a courteous message insisting that the flag remain and warning her majesty that if she assumed the offices of g man and insulted the stars and stripes she must accept the consequences.
 According to Mr. Riley's story, which he declared was authenticated by state department records, the sultana charg- ed the consulate with such desperation that he was obliged to fire upon her and her military escort, with the re suit that the sultana's robes were pierced by forty bird shot and she was borne away and was unable to sit be- side her husband on the royal throne for many days.
 Senator Vest of Missouri made the Zanzibar vendetta famous by a ver- sion in which MT. Riley shot the sul- tana because she persisted in bathing without a single garment in full view of the household of the American con- Sulate

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Fourth Time Josick Was Committed
 To State School for Boys.

A stolen chicken demanded the at tent1on of the police department yes- terday and late in the afternoon a young fellow well known to the po- lice, named Joseph Josick, was ar rested for stealing it. James Doyle, resident of Jackson street, testified in court to-day that he saw Josick near the gas works with a chicken in bag. Doyle found the owner of the bird, an Italian, who also lives on Jackson street
 Josick stated that it was Doyle who caught the chicken in the Italians yard, and he himself put it in the bag and was taking it away to cook it when Richard Clarke took 1t from him.
 This boy has caused his people and the. police considerable trouble. Two or three times he has been committed to the State School for Boys, but somehow he never got there. The last time he was before the city court he was committed to the school, and his father seeing the authorities were determined to put him there, took an appeal to the superior court. There the case was continued, because of the size and youth of the boy, who is 15 years old. It was thought that a sight of the superior court in session | would work wonders in him, yet ac- cording to Detective Keegan this morning he has been sleeping in barns and begging his meals, and the resi- dents of Riverside street have been missing things from their refrigera- tors for the past month. For the l fourth time Josick was committed to the State School for Boys. Whether or not he will ever get there remains to be seen. Judge Peasley presided.

ago tomorrow, has been found, SO far
as his parents are aware. They do not
think the boys disappearance was due
to any foul play, but that he simply
started off on an adventure. They be-
lieve he will grow tired of his enter

INCENDIARY FIRE.
Old, Vacant House Slightly Damaged
Last Evening.

The central station firemen were call
ed out at 1850 o'clock last evening by a
small fire in the rear of an old house
near Williams & Beach's wagon shop,
and owned by the Laird Norton yards.
The fire was easily extinguished, and the
damage limited to perhaps SIS. The fire
started in small shed in the rear, and
burned hole through the side of the
house. From the fact that the house
was vacant and that kerosene could be
plainly smelled when the firemen arriv-
ed on the scene, it is supposed that the
fire was started by some party who
wanted to destroy the building.
This is the second fire to occur re-
Gently in that neighborhood, the other
one also seeming to be of incendiary
origin, and being in an old house owned
by Williams & Beach, which was slight
ly damaged by fire a few weeks ago.
