 The regular meeting of the Jun for Amateur league was held last evening in the rooms of the Quaker Athletic club but no business of i'm portance was transacted. The race is drawing to a close and as the first few teams are well punched, the in terest in the league is on the in crease. In the absence of President Joseph Smith, vice president William Kopp presided.
 John Garvey, who resides at 30 John street. and who Is familiar character in this section walked into the Torrington police station yester- day morning and pretended that he was going to clean out the place. Acting Chief Newett, who was at the desk, did not understand why Garvey was so particular to know whether all the officers were on duty and whether they were attending to their jobs. Thinking that the man was demented he locked him up. On communicating with the officers of the department in this city Officer Newett learned that Garvey resided in Brooklyn and that he was harm less, having called at the station of- ten while in Waterbury. He was brought to this city last evening on the 5:25 train.
 It is said that the Peasley fac tion in the third ward which was all ways a thorn in the Third Ward Re- publican club and which the past three years knocked spots out of that organization is thinking of nominat- ing for alderman. Thomas B. Walker, Benjamin R. Kelsey and Louis Fitz- simmons If such a ticket should be in the field. it would knock spots out of any slate that could be made up by the Young Mems organization. Fitz- simons. If such ticket should be men and for time the former was mentioned as a candidate for the mayoralty. In fact it is said that he could have had the backing of the men that count just by his agreeing to run. But he evidently decided that the aldermanic chamber was good enough for him for while and he is likely to be again nominated. Walker will in all probability go back for two years. Walker Is said to have had a lot of influence as alder man and a member of the board of works. John P. Elton, the other representative of the third on the aldermanic board 1t Is believed. will not run again. although his friends are urging him to represent his ward once more. In case Elton does not care to succeed himself, Kelsey would be a good man. He is thoroughly cognizant of what the Brooklynites are after and as he is an active mem Der of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society. he is one of the best men that Brooklyn could have in the aldermanic chamber since the democrats have no chance of electing an alderman in the third. What ticket the Young Mems Republican club is likely to place against the Peasley make up is only matter of conjecture. The Young Mems club is already being regarded as joke by some and from the outside 1t ap- pears as though the old members of the Third Ward Republican club are wishing they had kept their organ nation Independent of the new body. The third ward members feel like a rivulet that has been lost in some mighty stream which is running on- ward not knowing where. They are holding spreads at Cheshire. dinner parties at The Elton and are having heart to heart talks during the day. It would not be surprising to soon see them re-organize the dear old club which recently passed into ob- livion.
