 One of Frank J. Larkin's truck wagons loaded with slabs and drawn by four horses held the center of the stage on Bank street near the He'll man Brewing company for more than two hours this morning. It was about 7:S0 when the driver endeavored to have the animals pull the load up past the brewery and at 10 o'clock 1t was in just about the same place as It was at 7:30. The animals, which were four blacks, refused to pull to- gether and pranced around in such manner that at times it looked as though they would break from the harness and scamper away, leaving the load in the road. They were coaxed and petted and patted and petted but all to no use. Finally the driver became convinced that the steeds would not make the ascent, so he succeeded in getting them turned around and went to his destination via Porter street.
 James Glynn of Pemberton street, an employe of the company which is laying the pipes for the high water service to Town Plot, was overcome by heat this morning. The man was working in the trench near Washington avenue. He suddenly became weak but after crawling out of the hole he thought that If he walked for while his strength would return. He had proceeded only few yards when he fell to the ground and his head struck the walk with a crash. A bad gash on his forehead was re-opened by the fall and the blood flowed freely. He wa taken across the street and placed olf a bench in front of Dunphy's cafe where he was attended by Dr ]. F. Farrell. Glynn seems to be rather nj nt h4c H. A. while laboring one of the workmen threw piece of pipe into the ex- cavation where Glynn was shoveling, and 1t landed on his head and put him to sleep for short time.
 There is trouble over the man. agement of the Quaker Athletic club or Quaker ball team Git has not ye, been decided which 1t is) Manager Grimes having become dissatisfied with the manner in which things were moving decided to resign. He was of the opinion that as he was getting out he had the privilege of naming his successor. so he selected Edward Tierney. but the members of the Quaker Athletic club were of the impression that if any new manager was to be selected they should do the choosing. So at meeting held In their rooms last evening they named Frank Quinn as their choice. Grimes and Tierney claim that the team is not connected with the Quaker Ath- letic club, but is simply the Quaker baseball team. They furthermore con- tend that as the club did not contri- bute any money towards the Quaker's assessment which was handed to the president before the season started, they have no say in the management of the team. The members on the other hand assert that the team was organized to represent the Quaker Athletic club and that Is the rightful name of the team. The dispute will undoubtedly be settled at the meeting of the league tomorrow night
 That ball team representing the business men of Brooklyn Is running like a thoroughbred, judging from the two games which 1t played yester- day In the first the Watervile business men were walloped Is to 5. notwithstanding the score of to 1. which was given out by some piper The second was defeat for the Brooklynites but it was one of those defeats to which was attached a large amount of glory. The Water bury Brass team succeeded in trim ming the business men of this section by the score of 2 to 6, the full nine innings having been played. The contest was umpired by Roger Connor who at various times criticised his men sharply for the article of ball they were putting up. The Water williams had promised to come down with a team which would give their opponents a hard rub, but they were not in 1t and the Brooklynites won as

As the game was over early the Waterbury Brass wished to play a practise game. so Joe" Smith, cap tain of the famous aggregation from across the bridge. condescended to give two exhibitions on the same af- ternoon.
