The right of a Railroad Company,to
collect fares from passengers it does
not provide with seats, is to be passed
upon soon by New England Court.
The iniative in that direction was
taken this week on train from
Bridgeport to Meriden, Conn.,, by an
Ex-Governor of that State, who re-
fused to pay his fare because he failed
to secure a seat on a crowded train,
and a test case will be the result. Az
to the decision which will be reached
in the matter, there can be no ques-
ton. The charge made by the Rail
road Company for transportation
carries with it the right to seat, and
when it fails to live up to its contract
in this respect it has no right to ex-
pect compensation from passengers.

Harry L. Maynard is probably re-
nominated for Congress from the
Second district over George G. Cabell,
in Democratic primary held Tues
day, by the smallest majority ever
given a candidate from the district.
With only a few precincts to hear
from Maynard has majority of 100.
A recount has been asked for by
CabeI. The remarkable run OF
Cabell surprised his friends, and the
poor showing of Maynard, who has
represented that district in Congress
for three consecutive terms, is dis
appointment to his supporters.

MANAGER MGRAw ARRESTED.

Pittsburg, May 1s.--John J. Me- Graw, manager of the New York team, was late last evening placed under arrest on charge of aggrava- ted assault and battery preferred by Edward Brady on behalf of his 12- year7old son, Neal Brady.
 McGraw and three other players were coming from the game in an open carriage. They were overtaken by crowd of boys in a wagon, among them Neal Brady, The boys. led by Brady, began to roast the New York players about their second shut-out by Pittsburg, and McGraw, who was already in bad humor, at last seized the heavy whip from the driver and swung at the boys
 It was thought by all who saw the affair that McGraw simply intended to chase the boys and that he did not intend to harm them, but the boys re- fused to be scared and only came back back at McGraw with worse language 4ps A Neal Brady was knocked from the tailboard of the wagon by tho lash of the whip cutting around him. and one of his eyes was damaged by the cracker of the whip. He rolled into the wooden gutter of the bridge in agony, and McGraw, jumping from his carriage, hurried to the assistance of the injured boy.
 Manager McGraw declines to talk about the matter tonight.
 He was released under bonds of $500.

 Voltz retired from second to first and
 Hoffman hit a fly to Swander who

 Lawrence was put out of the game.
 Waterbury made one in her half of

 Baker, the first man up in the sev- enth, got his base on balls. OHagan

WRESTLING
PAsHA CALLS LUNDIN A BIG
 BUFFER.
Offers to Bet Two to One That Beel Can Beat Him in Any
 Style

Fred Beell, who so easily defeated Hjalmar Lundin Tuesday night in catch-as-catch-can wrestling, and his manager, Harvey Parker, left Wor- cester yesterday. Beell will make his headquarters in Brockton for the present. Next month he and Parker have engagements with a vaudeville show in western cities.
 Before he went Parker said: ~Lundin Is making bluff on Graeco- Roman, trying to make good. He wouldn't wrestle Beell in Graeco. Roman unless money was handed him. I have proposition which will show whether he is in earnest or blufhng. I gave him $500 to wrestle Beell Tuesday night. Now, if he thinks he can win from Beell in Graeco-Roman, I'll put $1,000 against that $500 for a Graeco- Roman match, two falls in three.
 The only stipulation will make is that the contest take place in Father Mathew hall or some hall where there won't be much expense. l don't think Lundin would draw a dozen to another match with any body. It would be a contest for the stake money only.
 He won't make a match. He wouldn't if offered to bet $1,000. 900 against his $500. He knows that he has no chance with Beell at any qyle. yfr --sS SsTf
