 Good for you, New Haven.
 War to the death in New Haven tonight.
 Billy Hanna will want to join Walker if his team loses that game to Bridgeport this evening.
 We won't make any promises. but we do expect some good news from the west after the meeting of the managers tomorrow.
 We said before in the columns of the Democrat that New Haven had as good a team as vas in the league. and that was proven very conclusive Iy last night in the game with New Britain.
 Barney Doherty got great receP- ton in wsllingford last night it being his frs; appearance in that borough. Barney made good. too. and kept our Sutton busy Kicking them avay from the cage.

CITY LEAGUE MEETING. Popular Base Ball League of the City Holds First Business Session.

Five teams were represented at the meeting of the City Amateur baseball league last night when the meeting was called to order in the St Joseph's rooms. The managers present were Madden of the Brooklyns. Guilfoile of the St Josephs. Sullivan of the North Ends. Ghent of the Merrlmacs and William Bowes of the Washing ton Hills. who represented Manager Coughlin. Manager Kilmartin of the Pastimes was not present as a re- port had been circulated that the Pastimes and one other team were to be dropped. This report is not true and the Pastimes will be expected to he represented at the next meeting. No arrangements have been made for the grounds yet. because the owners are awaiting the fate of the sunday baseball bill that is now before the legislature If the bill does not pass the City league will assuredly have the grounds because the owners made that agreement verbally at the close of last season with the president of the league.
 A schedule committee was appoint- cd and much other business tram sancted- The following officers were elected: President. E. l.. Maloney. who will serve at least for the pres ent. secretary. William Guilfoile: and treasurer. James Kilmartin. The managers will announce their teams just when it is definitely known what is done in Hartfori.
 In all probability the amateurs will have to make way on Thursday ev- ening of next week. for an amateur team from New Britain. who are scheduled to meet Benedict & Burn- hams team. as preliminary io the big game The team which Is com ing Is the strongest amateur team in New Britain and will be ecconpan- ied to this city with about 30 peo- ple. they wiIl come in a special

WE WERE
 THE vlcToRs Wallingford Went Down to Defeat Once More - The Leaders
 Trouneed Again.

WalllngIOrd, Marcn 9.-beIOre the | largest crowd of the season Walling- f ford was defeated by Waterbury here last night by the score of 3 to 1.
 The game started with a rush and the pace grew faster and faster as the period increased. The first goal of the evening was captured by Besse in 51 seconds. The period end ed with both teams doing their best, but neither being able to score again.
 The second period had scarcely started when Besse broke his skate and was obliged to leave the floor. Tobin taking his place. In less time than it takes to tell it, Waterbury had landed two goals, when Besse re- turned and the scoring stopped for menced at the same fast pace and after minutes and II seconds, Mur- ray landed the third and last goal for Waterbury.
 Doherty, the new halfback recent ly signed by Wallingford, played his first home game and when he made his appearance was given a grand welcome. That he deserved 1t was demonstrated as soon as the game started. He certainly has the goods and played the finest game at half back ever seen here. Nearly half of Sutton's stops were from Doherty's drives. Besse played the best game that he has played at home yet. Sut- ton in goal played superb game. Murray was very swift and but for Doherty would have made the score much larger. . Fouls were called on Saunders and Doherty for holding and on Holder ness for tripping, but did not affect the score.
 In the second period Loxson com plained of being hit on the hand and the game was held up for about five minutes, though it appeared that he was playing for time and wind more than anything else. The crowd got play, but Thomas had his own ideas about the matter. The lineup and summary:

A SOUTHERN CANDIDATE

At Nashville, Tenn, on Tuesday a
gathering of representative Tonnes
scans launched a movement to have
Southern man nominated for
President by the Democrats.
However complimentary TO the
South the nomination of a Southern
man for President would BE, it is not
a violent presumption TO assume that
victory is the object sought by the
Democratic party That victory is
possible with a Southern man at the
head of the ticket is hardly to be SER
iously considered by the unbiased par
ty man.
To take the only case at hand in
recent years, does any sane man be-
lieve that a Georgia or Tennessee man
could have made as successful a race
as did Cleveland, who carried the
pivotal state of New York the first
time by a very narrow margin?
There's no need to nominate a man
to carry Georgia for the Democratic
ticket, or Tennessee or Texas. Fay-
orite sons in close states, as a win
ming proposition, have other aspir-
ants backed clear off the boards
when it comes to availability.
With the history of the past in mind
it seems hard TO believe that Demo-
Gratis anxious for success of the ticket
as the paramount consideration,
could insist first of all on the nominal
ton of a Southerner for President.
If the Nashville contingent had
some Interior purpose in view, let
them be more explicit. But the idea
of nominating a Southern man to head
the Democratic ticket next year in
the hope of winning the election is
not founded on sound reason.
1t may be unfortunate that certain |
sntlemen have their homes in the |
South, but as a distinguished Demo-
crat once said 'it is a condition and |
not a theory which confronts us"

FLAMES IN LOADED
GAR RESULT IN LOSS
Cotton Bales and Furniture
Burned.

Fire at o'clock yesterday mornino
destroyed freight car in the Amari7
Gus yards of the Central Railway
burned over fifteen bales of cotton ana
damaged to a greater or less extent
a lot of merchandise and furniture
in the same car.
But for the prompt and effective
work of the local fire department
confiagration would have resulted he
yond any doubt.
SStored within few feet of the
blazing car were fifty or a hundred
barrels of rosin, some of them omen
The car was one of a long string
standing on the depot sidetrack, while
the dangerous rosin was upon the
south platform. Had a spark fallen
among this most inflamable material
the large brick warehouse would have
gone.
A hundred yards away was the cot
ton compress with platforms covered
with bales.
For a few minutes the situation was
full of peril.
Two streams were turned upon the
blazing car by the local department
and in a few moments the fire was
out and the danger removed. But
for this effective work the property
loss yesterday would have run highs
in the thousands. q
The car thus burned had come to
Americas heevening before. The
fifteen bales cotton were loaded at
Smithville for warehouses here.
Most of the cotton is saved, though
in damaged condition.
Three sewing machines and a large
lot Of general merchandise, clothing
and household effects were burned or
badly damaged. The stuff saved was
rolled aside, and yesterday resembled
an auction house in full operation.
1t is believed that fire was in one
of the bales when loaded in the car,
as the flames yesterday started upon
the inside
