Two physicians certified that the woman had

tectives took up the matter and traced Woods
through New-England while he jumped quickly
from one State to another. Not long ago the
couple came to this city, and the man secured

lice also declare Woods has criminal record in
Boston, being an associate of men and women

Cauley, and before the interview closed a ste-
nographer was called in. Woods said TO
have made a confession to the police in which
he implicated several New-York men.

cANAvAN ron NORwICH.

Jimmie Canavan, formerly captain and manager of the New Haven team and the Inventor of the inside play system, has been engaged to succeed Fred Crolius as captain of the Nor
 wich team. The directors of the Nor wtch club believe that Crolius had a fair chance but failed to make good. Canavan took charge of the team this morning. Crolius is wanted on the team but 1t is doubtful if he stays. Canavan may play second, where Fat fy Lord has been stationed, and Jack Tighe will.play first. Mir Crolius says that the trouble was caused because he did not play Tighe at first and be did not play him because he did not think he was playing strong enough game. Crolius says he is willing to abandon the managerial reins Canavan is ex- pected to inject some life into the team.
