CHEAP TRICK PLAYED BY
 SOUTH ENDS

It is no longer Manager Frank OBrien of the South Ends. YeSter- day the South Ends played the Yosts at Yost Field and OBrien was only a spectator. This is a hard blow to the
 "Deamon Mana ger" who put baseball in the South End on a paying basis this season. Heretofore the South ern section of the city has not been represented by a decent team since the Hearts went out of commission. O'Brien got busy during the Spring with a few recruits, and by constant additions, worked out a good team, which trimmed a number of formid able opponents. With the throw down of O'Brien goes the downfall of As sistsnt Manager Frank Thornhi1l, who has worked for the team, as has O'Brien all season. Yesterday John Rocky Farrell was the man on the gate taking in the coin The two managers have always came in for a for this reason that they were given the go by yesterday. What Rocky and Mike Lucia say now goes with the team.
 It was for the sake of thirty cents on the part of each man that the two managers were dropped. The team got $21 as part of their receipts. Car ter as the pitcher received $3 while the remaining SIS was divided among the eight remaining players and two bench men, making $1.s0 apiece. With would receive $1.50. The players all low themselves to be open to ridicule for 30 cents. The South Ends owe more than they can repay for it was on his account the team got most of it's press boosting.

ALBERT PULITZER JOSEPH'S BROTHER
 SHOOTS HIMSELF

Vienna, Oct Albert Pulitzer, a brother of Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York World and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, was found dead to-day in his apartments in the Grand Hotel in this city, a. suicide, from a revolver shot.
 Pulitzer shot himself yesterday though his death was not discovered until to-day. He WAS suffering from a nervous breakdown for which he had sought vainly for relief.
 Dr. Jacob Pollak, who was called af- ter the body was found, declares that the suicide had also taken poison to make his death doubly sure. pr. Pol lak says Pulitzers nerves were shat tered to such an extent as to affect his mind and he killed himself under the fear that he was going mad.
 Albert Pulitzer was 53 years old. He established the New York Morning Journal in 1882 and was it's editor un- til 1895 when his health failed. He then sold the paper and went abroad. He was born in Hungary.
 Yesterday Pulitzer dismissed his secretary and attendants and request ed the hotel officials to see that he was not disturbed. He said he desir- ed solitude. It is believed that he killed himself almost immediately af- te rthe servants left him.
 When Dr. Pollak arrived, he found an empty poison bottle beside the body, near the revolver with which Pulitzer had killed himself. He had evidently fired the fatal shot while standing before mirror to make his aim sure.

TRAFFIC ORDINANCE WON'T COME FROM
 COMMITTEE TONIGHT

The traffic ordinance as proposed by the Automobile Club of Bridgeport was introduced at the last meeting of the Common Council and was referred to the committee on Ordinances. The committee will not be ready to report on it at the meeting of the council tonight. The ordinances are much similar to the New York ordinances and compel beavy, slow moving vehicles to use the extreme right hand side of the road way, close to the curb.
 A New York boy who was in this city a few days ago visiting a Bridge- port boy saw a truck standing in front of Main street store. You haven't any traffic ordinances here, have you?'' said the New Yorker. The Bridgeport boy said he did not know what was meant, and then the New York young ster pointed out that the truck horses were turned to the left after the horses were backed to the curb. The New York boy pointed out that the posi- tion of the horses and the truck form ed a pocket for traffic coming along on the right hand side of the street. A Farmer reporter who overheard the conversation of the boys counted twelve instances in Middle street, Main street and Fairfield avenue within an hour where the horses of trucks back ed to the curb were turned sto the left

TRACTION ENGINE
 IS A NUISANCE
Special to the Farmer.)

Stamford. Oct. IA traction engine is nuisance and will not be Allowed upon the public streets. That is the gist of the. decision of Judge George w. Wheeler. in petition for a tenn porary injunction against Contractor A. B. Griswold. who has been using an engine to haul cement to the Water Company's new dam near North Stam- ford. The action was brought in the name of the state for the reason that the state has certain rights to all highways. and also necessary, had 1t been brought in the name of the town or city. the contractor would have re- quired a bond to indemnify him until a decision was given upon an applica- tion for a permanent injunction.
 While the decision of Judge Wheeler affects only state roads, it, will be seen that he is prepared to issue a similar restraining order affecting city and town roads. in proper proceeding.
