SUIT AGAINST NoRTONs.
Portland Court Restrains Transfer
 of Mercantile Stock.


 Hartford, June 12.--An Associat- ed Press dispatch from Portland, Me. last night announced that temporary injunction has been is- sued by Judge Peabody of that city restraining Lucius B. Norton and wife of this city from selling or transferring any stock Of the Ma tional Mercantile company except to the receiver and further. directing them to turn over to the receiver all stock of the International Petro- leum and Refining company owned by them. MT Norton is president and treasurer of the National Mer- cantile company and the injunction was issued after a hearing on a bill in equity by 0rren R. Fairfield. tenn porary receiver of the National Mer- cantile company.
 The affairs of the company and of the Nortons have been the subject of much litigation in this state, where John ]. McKone is anciliary receiver. A proposition for set tlement has been under considera- ton and John T. Robinson, one of the lawyers interested, said last night that he did not know what effect the action of the Maine court would have upon the snits in this state. A criminal charge against Mir Norton in connection with the af- fairs of the National Mercantile company is expected to come up at the present term of the criminal side of the superior court before Judge Shumway.

THE PUG!LISTS
IS ABE AFRAID
 TO MEET CHARLEY
Harry Pollock Says Abe Wont Fight His Man From Australia
 --Other News.

It would seem that Abe Attell is not over anxious to meet Charles Griffin, Australia's s champion feather weight, in the ring to battle for the championship of the world. Harry Pollok, manager of Griffin, yesterday sent out the following communica- ton: r
 Abe Attell has refused to box Charley Griffin for tsle featherweight championship of the world at l22 pounds ringside because, he says, Griffin is not well enough known in the west to draw large enough gate. Possibly, but then maybe, Abe Attell Occupied with Tommy Sullivan) is too we'll known to do any drawing in the money line himself on the Pacific coast. But that is another story.
 Attell wants Griffin to do 124 pounds ringside for six round, no decision contest. This is simply lodging the isue. Griffin wants to box for the championship and he can- not do so in a six round affair. He can do this weight easily enough, as he weighed 124 h when he met Dris- coll, but it's much harder for him to do 1t than it is for Attell and at the end, unless he knocked out Attell, Grin would be no nearer the cham pionship than he is now. If he let AttelI go along and make decent showing the public would say Griffin Is lemon" If he beat Attell then Abe would give Griffin the same treatment he has handed to Moran, since the latter nearly tore Attells head of in Frisco-refuse to meet him again.
 Now while AtteIl is backing and filling over few ounces, weight and refusing to meet such boys as Tommy Murphy, Leach Cross, Jack Goodman, Young Loughrey, etc, Griffin, failing to drag Abe into a ring, stand ady to box anybody in the world, includ- ing the above named gentlemen, six rounds at any notch inside of the lightweight limit, and Champion At tell ewenty rounds or more for the worlds featherweight title at 122 pounds ringside.

CORNELL TEAM DIsBANDED.
The Great Southern Trip Had to Be
 Abandoned.

Ithaca. June 12.-The Cornell Uni- versIty seeker football team. which was composed of men from many parts of the world, has dlsbanded foe inc year.
 The team had contemplated a tour of South America this summer and all were ready for the trip when it was announced that the faculty had refused to allow Captain Bicude and Manager Sarniento. two natives of Brazil. to represent Cornell in athlet- ies because of deficiencies in univer- slty work. They were considered the best players on the team. Added to the loss of the two Brszilians cane the departure of the Indian Prince Victor Nsrayan for England With these three scientific and fast play- CTS ont of the lineup the Cornell men abandoned the trip.
 The Itlscans were practically guar anteed S15gssl io cover their traveiing expenses and they had revived per mission from the faculty to make the trip.

THE POLL MATINEE HATS.
One to Be Awarded Each Week to
 Some Patron of the Theater,

Hartford, June 12.-The Merry Widow" hat craze having run its course, now comes its successor, the Poli matinee hat That the Poli matinee hat will find greater favor is assured for the reason that 1t is to be real $30 Parisian creation. The plan in general is this. Mir Poli has given orders to R. Ballerstein & Co, the millinery importers, to design and make each week during the sum- mer the most artistic hat they can create and to cost not less than S3O. The hat will be known as the Poli matinee hat, and each week one will be given away to some lady patron of Polls theater. With each re- served seat sold for the matinee there is a seat check, which is detached as the patron enters the theatar. usu- ally these are thrown away, but they will not be from now on.
 Beginning with next Mondays matinee, and continuing all week, these seat checks will have a real value. Monday. June P, at the matinee at Polls, the first Poli mati- nee hat will be awarded to some lady in the audience. The winner will be the lady who. has turned into the box office by Saturday night, June 20, the most seat checks, in- closing them in an envelope with her name plainly written on 1t. Seat checks for any matinee the week of June 16 will count. and the only pro- viso is that the lady winning must be in the audience when the name is announced. Tn case she Is not, the hat will go to the lady with the next highest number of seat checks wno is in the audience.
 There are no restrictions as to the manner in which the ladies may gather the coupons; they may form clubs or contrive any possible way to secure the greatest number of seat checks. Hats always interest the ladies, and surely the thought of getting s30 hat for nothing will arouse the greatest interest.

Some of the citizens have saved the clipping in order that they may knew that an effort toward silence is being made, and one man, who lives on Jefferson street near Washington, kept tabs yesterday morning on the different street cries in his neIghborhood and made out a table of the various hswkers and peddlers who passed his house. While the number was smaller than usual. the silence was by no means mon- otonous. as may be seen by the fol- N-A

BRIDGEPORT COULDN'T HIT.

Bridgeport, June 12.-Bridgeport had about as much chance against Hartford yesterday as the sheath skirt will when Anthony Comstock gets after it. The Runaways started right, by making run at the start and they were never headed. Hack Schuman had everything and he worked the corners in such fine style that the Bridgeports were obliged to strike blindly at the ball, trusting to chance to hit. Walters wild pitch and one of the fielding errors were costly but Hartford punched hits enough to win and it was plain sail ing with the ball that Schuman was pitching and the way the team was working behind him.

Holyoke got after Mclean for six hits for a total of twelve bases in the first inning, scoring five runs. Hess, who relieved him at the start of the second, held the home team safe until the ninth, although many chances to score were thrown away by stupid work on the paths. Springfield tied the score in the eighth on three Holyoke errors, the others being the result of punched hitting. The score:
