companies. Now that the latter have
left the state it is claimed at the state
house that the Iowa companies have
methods and have settled back to leBi-
innate lines. What is bothering the
officials now is where will wild-catisln
break out next. 1t came near break
ing out some months ago, it is learn
ed, in a company that wanted to in
corporate and proposed to build homes
for all the poor people who made reg
ular monthly payments, but the eXe-
cutiVe council refused to sanction the
articles Of incorporation. With an ex-
ecutive council that is SO scrupulous
1t would seem that to invade the state
the wild cat idea must come in under
some idea that will escape the execu-
tive council or else in a form that will
not require Incorporation and thus be
able to do business for some time till
the legislature can act on their case.
Those who are best informed do not
seem to take great deal of stock in
the idea that Congressman Hepburn
is back Of the scheme to drop Judge
Towner in Taylor county and make
peace with Judge Miller Those who
know Col. Hepburn claim that such; a
course is not at all according to Hep
burns nature. Judge Towner has al
ways been consistent standpatter
and Miller has been a Cummins man.
He was appointed by the governor to
the vacancy on the bench in that jul
dicial district and at the regular cleo
ton was defeated solely because he
was Cu1nmins man. There seems to
be little likelihood that Miller and
Hepburn will make peace on any
terms.

THE DIAMOND. NEW HAVEN
 RUSHING
Last Week of Season Finds the Despised New Haven. CTS Playing Great Base Rall-Results of Games.

Hartford, Sept 6.-New Haven won from the home team yesterday, 1 to 0. The game was absolutely devoid of features with the exception of a hard stop by Justice. The Hartford short stop was credited with three errors, the entire team making six. None of these proved costly, however, as the sole tally of the game was scored in the first inning through hits by Jope and Lenox. Hartford had several chances to tie the score, particularly in the ninth, when Fallon opened with a two bagger. Corcoran had good con- trol in tight places and succeeded in holding the hits down when they would have been handiest. Umpire Smink's decisions were unsatisfactory to both /teams, and Luyster was put out of the game for objecting to a rul- ing on second base in the seventh. The Hartford players crowded about the umpire and for time it looked as if there would be trouble, but the storm was soon over. The score:

Holyoke. Sept 6.-Positive announce ment was made yesterday by Manager Frysinzer that there will be no post season series between the Springfield and Holyoke base ball teams. The d. rect0rs of the team have decided the matter absolutely and 1t is not likely that the players will attempt the series of their own accord.
 The probability of any post-season series in this section for the HolToks club grows more remote with the an- nouncement unless Fall River winf the New England league pennant. Ia that case the directors would not be averse to a proposition.

THE PUGlLISTS.
JIM JEFfRIES WILL REFEREE
He Will Get One Thousand Dollars For His Job Peter Maher to Fight
 Again Other News.

According to a dispatch from Los Angeles Jim Jeffries will referee the contest between Jimmy Britt and Bat tling Nelson at Colma, Cal next Sat urday afternoon. Billy Delaney wired that the boiler maker has accepted the fee of S1,O00 from the club and will surely be on hand to offieiate. The doubt existing as to whether Jeffries would act served to influence the bet ting somewhat both in New York and San Francisco. During the last day or so very few large bets have been recorded It Is thought that specula- tion will now pick up since the referee question has been settled. Jeffries was reported as saying that he would not take less than $2,000 for refereelng the mill The club was willing to give him this sum rather than have any diff ficulty, but the pugilists kicked against the amount and hinted at choosing some one else.
 The betting in New York, which was 10 to Q and in some instances 10 to 8 in favor of Britt, has dwfndled down to even money. The wiseacres figure that it is no cinch to pick winner in this mill and that the price should be even and take your pick. Whether the figures will change in the next four days or so depends entirely on the con dition of the men. The majority of the sports pick Britt as the winner, but somehow they are chary on plac- ing their rolls. It is thought by close fight followers in San Francisco that by the time the mill starts Britt will rule favorite at 5 to 3 on. It is ex- pected that the Britt partizans will manifest themselves no later than Fri day night and that large amounts of native son" money will force Britts admirers to give the Nelson supporters entieing odds. It Is predicted that by that time the bookmakers and heavy betters in New York will get busy themselves. This fight, according to many who have followed boxing for years. is a good affair to speculate on because the mill is to a finish and in many respects the men are evenly matched
 Nelson is working like Trojan for his fight Dispatches from his train ing quarters declare that the fighting Dane is always on the go He has no easy task of 1t getting to the required weight, 133 pounds. At the end of his work yesterday Nelson went on the scales and balanced the beam at 1854 pounds. hls means that he has to take of 2k pounds within the next three days. To some this may appear as an easy proposition. but Nelson has to keep working in order to reduce. There Is a large forfeit up for the man who fails to get to the stipulated notch. Britt is simply plodding along. He keeps his weight a secret No one knows exactly how much be weighs. Britt believes that 1T the public has to guess at his weight interest on the outcome will be enhanced
