Base Ball in Bloomers.

That was great ball at Pclhamville,
near the metropolis, on Monday, when
the Ladies’ Club of New York, tackled
the Murray Hill nine in the presence

- Of the entire bald-headed population of
Mount Vernon. New Rochelle, White
Plains, and the rest of the towns in that
vicinity. The game not only drew a
tremendous crowd of patriarchs and
notabilities, but it was a hummer on its
abstract merits anyhow. The bleach.
ers were taken up with mayors, post-
masters, sheriffs, aldermen, etc, the
motors were bank presidents, vestry-
men and magistrates. Every father of
a family within ten miles who could
shut his wife’s eye was there, and the
tumult of their enthusiasm was like
unto the fury of the sea against a rocky

six

 

 

 

shore.
Unfortunately, the game decided

nothing. It was a draw. The bald-
headcd enthusiasm of the multitude for
the nine in bloomers so rattled the
Murray Hill experts that they couldn’t
make any more: than eighty-eight runs,
but as that was exactly the score of the
Ladies’ Club thegame was declared Ofi"
and the crowd went. away dissatisfied.
The girls wept over the umpire until he
dripped, and the Murray Hills, restrain-
ed by the presence of so much shape
and talent”, had to forego the usual
scuflie and take it out; in sulking. But
the parties in charge of the enterprise
got rich in a single afternoon, while the
spectators went home loaded with more
sensations than they could analyze or
even count. They had money until it
made them hump-shouldered carrying
it.

We are not sure that this innovation
will assume epidemic form and so reach
Norwalk. We do hope, however, that
if the managers contemplate a tour,
they will wait, so far as this town is
concerned, until all the wives have gone
to the seashore, and our congressman
returns. If they’ll do that, and then
bring their players on in tights, we
engage to show them some rooting that
will make the .l’elhamviile incident fall

down in a faint.

 

To Elevate the Stage.

A Chicago preacher, the. Rev. Mr.
Clarke, insists that the stage should be
elevated. and in order to get it to the
required altitude he intends to become

 

an actor himself.

While the Rev. Mr. Clarke is at his
task it might be well for him to visit
Long Ridge and engage as a member
of his troupe the well-known New York
actress who is spending the summer in
that healthy neighborhood, and who
from all accounts, is completely de-
moralizing the farmers and their sons
by her peculiar ways and dress.

The actress in question is said to have
attired herself in a strictly up-tO—date
costume and sauntered along the prin-
cipal street campusedly smoking a
cigarette just like a man, and greatly
to the astonishment of the natives.

The surprise occasioned by this first
appearance on the streets of Long
Ridge is said to have been nothing
compared to the excitement she creat-
ed next morning. On this particular
occasion she started out for a Spin
through the fields clad in an alarming-
ly tight-fitting pair of Jerseys and a
gaily colored sweater, and was accom-
panied by a bull-terrier. She jumped
fences likea' hurdle racer and nearly
drove the staid and steady maids and
matrons into hysterics. In fact she

created a decided sensation among the
' populace that was never before heard

of in that section of the country.

But while her appearance may have
had a bad effec’; upon the female resi-
dents, it was as nothing compared to
the effect it caused upon the male seA
of that usually quiet neighborhood.

Hay fields were deserted, corn fields

and potatoe patches neglected. while
the men rushel out to- get a glimpse of
the Jerseys and s:.veater;ia fact farming
was at a stand still.

Something will have. to be done, and
done quickly, if the crops and male res-
idents ‘of, Long Ridge are to be saved,

 

 

and we suggest that the Rev. Mr.
Clarke, at once visit the place. and em
gage this actress to assist him in his pet
hobby, and thereby protect the females
of Long Ridge, even though he should
fail in reforming the fair actress.

Recollections of an Accident.

The death of the late George 0.
Stevens at Bethel on. Monday recalls
the collision between a construction
train and a mill; train at Cos Cob, on
the evening of October 22d, 1805. The
milk train was run through from Dan-
bury on the Danbury and Norwalk and
Consolidated roads t) New ,York.
George 0. Stevens was engineer on the
train and Daniel Persons, conductor.
Horace Wildman a Danbury hatter lost
his life. Stevens was not running the
locomotive but was seriously injured
in the back and face by jumping off
just before the collision occured. Per-

,sans received a compound fracture. to

his ankle and was otherwise hurt.
Frank London a brakemun was badly
bruised about the head and shoulders,
and Frank Hubbcli another brakem'an
had his leg broken in two places.
Wildman was attempting to get out of
a window when the collision occurred
and he was jammed in a dreadful man-
ner, but survived until the next morn-
ing.

The Coroner’s investigation.

Coroner Dotcn came over from
Bridgeport, yesterday afternoon, and
in company With Deputy Coroner
Burke visited the spot where 16 year
old Katie Valentine met such a terrible
death by running into a wire heavily
charged with electricity. He also
viewed the remains of the victim. He
then came to the Police Headquarters
and Messrs. L. C. Whitney, receiver of
the Norwalk St South Norwalk Electric
Light Company, A. E. Chasmar, sec-
retary of the Gas company, and John
H. Hoyt, superintendent of the fire
alarm system, were summoned.

Mr. Chasmcr testified that the wire
which he understood had caused the
Valentino girl’s death, was owned by
the Gas company, and was used in con-
nectionvwith the company’s tanks. He
said that the company had paid John
H. Hoyt a stipulated sum to string the
wire and keep it in repair for one year,
after which time Hoyt was to keep the
same in working order for nothing.
He had at previous times called on
Hoyt to make repairs when the wire did
not work. The wire had been strung
something over a year, but did not re-
cdll the exact date when it was first put
up. No special contract other than that
for the first year had been made with
Hoyt.

Mr. Whitney stated that. the fatal
wire as well as that of the postal tele-
graph company, were strung on the
poles 'of the Electric Light company
near where the accident occurred. His
company had no control over any wires
other than their own.
ledge of this particular wire being
down. Was of the opinion that the
wire became crossed in a willow tree
from the whipping of the branches of
the tree. The electric current was
shut oil? at the station on the morning
Of the accident at 8:40 o’clock. Did
not know of permission being granted
to string the wire on the poles of the
company.

Mr. Hoyt testified that he strung
the wire for the Gas company for
a certain sum and agreed to keep
the same in repair for one year. The
year was up last fall, but he had since
made necesssary repairs when called
upon to do so, without charge. Had
been granted a permit to string the
wires on the Electric light poles, with-
out charge. His attention he said had
not been called to the fact of the wire

being down at the point where the girl

was killed, nor did he know of it.
Knew that the wire was not in working
order for some time between the two
tanks, but the trouble was caused by a
break in the wire ,near the lower gas
tank.

Coroner Doten took notes of the testi-
mony, and after the examination
boarded a car for South Norwak en
route to Bridgeport.

NORWALK, Conn., July 15, 1895.
Editor Evening Sentinel: After a
careful examination of one of the vol-
umes of the latest edition of the Eucy-_
clopedia Britannica, which you are now
offering to the public, I do not hesitate
to pronounce it superior to any other

Town Court.

JUDGE 'IAMES 'r. HUBBELL.

A session of the Town Court was held
yesterday afternoon, there being three
cases on the calendar.

John Rice was charged with being in-
toxicated. He pleaded guilty and was
fined 355, which he paid. _

Eliphalet Bouton was charged with
drunkenness, breach of the peace and
resistance to the officer. He pleaded
guilty and paid a $7 fine. " '-

A man named Mitchell who was ar.
rested as a. vagrant, and who gave
Hartford as his home, was found guilty
but sentence was suSpended. The man
has since skipped.

W hat a College Professor Thinks of
Johnson’s Encyclopedia.

I have no hesitation in saying that
Johnson’s Encyclopedia is, in my judg-
ment, by far the best for general use
now published. The only other encyc-
lopedia which canébe thought to seri-
ously rival it is the Britannica. The
greater range of subjects treated of in
the Johnson, and their more concise
treatment, make it a more desirable
work. The splendid list of editors who
have had charge of the rcvisior of the
work is alone sufficient guaranty of its
excellence. Could I have but one on-
cyclopedia, I should certainly choose
the new Johnson.

Too Rich for the Ducks.

Actor George Clarke has a number of
fine ducks at Norwalk Park of which
he is very proud. They are of a cele-
brated breed and great pets with the
members of the household. William
McMullen is employed by Mrs. Clark
to attend them and see that they ‘are
pr0perly cared for. “Billy” conceived
the idea that the ducks should have a
feast so gathered what he supposed to
to be mushrooms. He prepared a re-
past that would have done credit to the
chef of the Norwalk club and invited
the ducks to participate. They did'full

sad mistake for next morning eight of
the handsome birds were dead. An in-
vestigation showed that instead of
mushroons “Billy” had given them
toadstools.

Arrested on Suspicion.
Constable Merrill of New Canaan ar-
rested Mrs. Thomas Mooney on suspic—
ion of having set fire to the Ruscoe barn
in that town about two weeks ago. She
was taken beiOre Justice Bliss, who
found probable cause and placed her
under $250 bonds for trial at the, next
term of the Superior Court. Attorney
Light of South Norwalk appeared for
the prosecution and Attorney Lock-
wood Of this city for the defense.
Some very sensational testimony was
adduccd'during the hearing. It seems
that Mrs. Mooney is jealous of her hue-
band’s attentions to Mrs. Ruscoe, and
this is assigned as a motive for the

crime of setting the barn on fire.

 

The Prisoner Discharged.

Frank Dugan was placed under ar-
rest yesterday, for an alleged assault
on James Burke, of New York, who is
viewing friends in this city. The
trouble grew out of a dispute over a
horse which Burke wished to hitch up,
and which horse it is reported was; in
a starving condition. Dugan claims
that he only acted in self defense.
The hearing in the case was set down
for this morning but the complainant
Burke, who received an ugly looking
black eye during the trouble, failed to
put in an appearance, and the prisoner
who was at liberty under a cash bond
was discharged.

HeavyWelght Champion COrbett’s Wife’s
Suit For Absolute Divorce.

NEW YORK, J uly‘ 18.—-The suit of Mrs.
Ollie Corbett for absolute divorce from
her husband, James J. Corbett, the cham-
pion heavyweight pugilist, on statutory
grounds, came up again this afternoon be?
fore Referee Edward Jacobs.

At the last hearing Mrs. Corbett testi-
fied that she had information of her hus-
band’s misdoings While he was on the road
playing “Gentleman J ack.”

Miss Marie King, an actress in the com-
pany, also testified. She. stated that she
frequently saw Corbett in the company
of a woman of the name of Vera. Miss
King also testified that Vera. stopped at
the same hotel as Corbett, and that she
was known as his Wife.

Mrs. Corbett was early on hand. She
looked captivating in a navy blue suit,
with a sailor hat to match.

Lawyer Hmmel had a. clipping from a
Cincinnati paper telling of the visit of

. Pugllist Corbett and Mrs. Corbett to that
city on April 23 last. Mrs. Corbett says
she was in New York city at this partic-
ular time, and that it was Vera who was
'With her husband, and who passed as his
Wife. .

When the hearing began, Miss King was
again called to the stand. Mr. Hummel
asked her if since being interrogated at
the last hearing she had remembered any
other occurrences between Vera and Cor-

ett.

“Yes,.sir. Mr. Corbett and I had ad-
joining dressing rooms. A man came in,
and I heard Mr. Corbett introduce Vera
.,as his Wife.

“On another occasion I saw Vera with
her head on Mr. Corbett’s shoulder.”

“Did Corbett put his head on Vera’s
shoulder?”

“Yes,. sir, he did."

“Did Mr. Corbett hug and kiss Vera?”

“Yes, sir, he did.”

Mr. Hummel then asked if Corbett’a
and Vera’s attitude was a loving one.

Miss Kin hung down her head and said:
“Yes, sir. I. was a. very loving attitude.”

Mr. Hummel announced that it had
been decided not to produce the separa-
tion ' papers, as they contained matters
which were not necessary for publication

He asked that if the referee should do
cide that Mrs. Corbett was entitled to an
absolute divorce $100 a week, the same
sum as allowed in the Separation pa.-
pers, should be paid to her by Corbett
during the term of her natural life.

Lawyer O’Sullivan, for Corbett, offered
no objection to this.

New York’s New Fire Fighting Apparatus.

NEW YORK, July 18.—‘—The board of fire
commissioners have voted to adopt the at-
tachment called the ball nozzle as an ad-
ditional equipment to the fire fighting ap-
paratus of the department. Chief Bonner
reported that the Clarendon hall was
saved from destruction by the timely use
of this peculiar attachment. The fire was
in the air chaiizbcr. Firemen tried to en-
ter through the trapdoor With a straight
stream of water, but the fierce flames made
entrance impossible. When the ball nozzle
was brought into play it allowed instant
entrance and in afevv moments conquered
a fire that would otherwise have proved
very disastrous.
