BASEBALL NOTES.
Fans enjoyed that game.

| Fans enjoyed that game. Both pitchers did good work. McAndrews was all the cheese yes- terday.
 What blessing to have a handy man like Captain Nichols.
 Eddie Farley must have eaten some slow pudding for dinner but he certainly had the bell on the Nor wich sluggers. ,-...
 When the warm weather gets working on the joints of Eddie Swander, he will not be caught go- ing down to second as he was yes- terday. Typhoid fever works havoc with a mans running abilities. Big George Lachance failed for once to get hit and at that Plank robbed him of one yesterday in the last inning when he knocked down at least.
 Jake Beckley has played in 2223 games in the last IS years, and has made 3676 hits for total average of .3OS. During this time he has made but 421 errors out of grand total of 23,S02 chances. This gives him a fielding average of .9S2. He has stolen BPS bases-not quite one in each seven games he has played. Last year he batted .247 and fielded .9s7.
 Those cracks of McAndrews were sweet music to the fans and Mike is once more on the pinnacle of popular favor. Here's hoping that 1t is not spasmodic but will be perpetual.
 Former Editor Howe of the Sunday Herald was the guest of the news paper boys yesterday and he certainly them while the game lasted. My, but he can swing 1t with vengeance.
 The City league managers held a last night and arranged the following schedule for next Sunday: 12:30. Brooklyns vs Pastimes; 2:15, Hills vs North Ends and 4 o'clock, St Josephs vs Merrimacs.
 Manager Simmons of the polo league is talking of organizing a ri- val baseball league if the baseball persist in putting into their game next fall. What a battle that would be if It would ever materialize.

Republicans Tn Caucus at Albany
 Vote For Hughes Measure.
 ALBANY, N. r., May 14.-The Re- publican members of the assembly last night voted unanimously to support the public utilities bill as 1t now stands. An amendment proposed by Assemblyman Hooper of Essex chang ing the power of removal of public service commissioners from the gov ernor to the senate was defeated, only eight voting for it.
 Speaker Wadsworth made a long speech in support of the bill, declaring that he bowed to the will of the party.
 This action apparently insures the passage of the bill in the form desired by Governor Hughes.

RING MISSED AT BURIAL.
Wrenched From Girls Finger-Burn.
 ed Matches Near Coffin.

Bloomfield, Oct. 31.-September 6, 1899, Lambert D. Hitchcock married Miss Edith Latimer, daughter of MT and Mrs John Latimer of this place ! He was an easy talking book agent and he somehow won the heart of the girl who was an only daughter, and an attractive young woman. He took her to Hartford, but soon moved to Providence and then to other places, conditions growing harder for the girl at each move. Three children came to the household and sometimes the mother did not have food or fuel in the house to provide for their needs.
 Finally she decided to cut loose from Hitchcock and she came to her parents in Bloomfield with her three children, that was about three years ago and she has supported the little ones and herself since by working as a nurse.
 Last week she died. She had work ed too hard and a cold developed into pneumonia. The end came at the lit- tie farm of the old folks in this vil- lage. The old father, whose eye sight had left him and the loving mother, who is nearing the sunset of life, pre- pared the body with tender care for the funeral service of the following day.
 That night at supper time there was a knock at the door. Carrying the lamp in one hand, Mrs Latimer pulled back the bolt and there stood Lambert Hitchcock. He said that he had heard about his wife's death, that he wanted to come in and remain over night and attend the funeral on the morrow. There was not a mo- ment of hesitation, Mrs Latimer held the door open wider for him to enter a chair by the fire was given him and later a seat with the old folks at the supper table. The past was not allud- ed to. After supper Hitchcock ex- plained that he would not look at his wife's body that night as it might af- feet him so that he could not sleep. When good nights were said the best room in the house was given him.
 But the fellow did not sleep well, for when the old folks came in the morning to call him the room was vacant. Surprised, the old mother went into the room where her daugh- ter's body lay in the casket. Beside the casket on the floor were the ends i of three burned matches, showing a visitor had been there during the night and it was found later that the gold wedding ring had been wrenched from the dead woman's finger.
 The old folks did not speak to many of the manner in which they had been wronged by some one and so there is no effort being put forth to find the one who robbed the dead. Among those who know the circum- stances, however, there is great in- dignation.

MAYOR THOMS HOME
Got Some Pointers on Municipal
 Work in Paris.

Mayor Thoms arrived home last night after a trip to Paris. He was absent three weeks, nearly two of which were consumed in making the trip to and from the other. side. To Democrat reporter his honor said this morning that he was very much pleased with what he has seen in Paris and other towns in France and that he had learned some things Tn connection with municipal. work which he hopes to be able to turn to good account here during the next two years He took particular notice of the sewage disposal system not being content with, explanations from those in charge, but going right out to the grounds and making per sonal observation of how it Works. The sewage is carried in a large con duit onto vast tract of lowland, owned by the city where it is used as fertilizer with very satisfactory results.
 Another thing the mayor took par ticular notice of was the absence or overhead wires. All wires are buried in conduits owned by the city, on substantially the same plan as wa terbury tried to get permission 10 carry on from the general assembly at it's last session, but the applica- ton of the aldermen, which had the endorsement of the mayor, was turn ed down through the influence of prl- vate corporations, notwithstanding that all the local representatives at Hartford favored it. But this Will come here as soon as the general public realizes the injustice of eX- isting conditions. His honor says he thinks all the streets in Paris are paved. At least he didn't notice any dirt roads The materials used are asphalt and wood and they make de- lightful thoroughfares.
 The mayor looks the picture or health and is in the pink of condl- tion to wrestle with the appropria- tions for a week or two. He says he enjoyed the little relaxation but that he is glad to be back ill Water bury once more, because, as the old familiar song says, no matter where he goes, he finds no place like home.
