IS his own, but the other one didn't seem to
look right. IL wasn't his. and the lati were

EiHA

About half-past three o'clock yesterday
afternoon fire broke out in the house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Welsh, living at Riddles
Banks. Mrs. Welsh had occasion to leave
her kitchen for few moments, and when
she returned IL was on fire. She imme-
diately gave the alarm, and soon the place
was surrounded by the mill hands, who
removed all the furniture from the
burning building. Fire extinguishers wsre
freely used, and the flames were soon under
control, not, however, before considerable
damage had been done. The alarm
reached the city, and the fire department
was soon on the ground, but its services
were not needed. The loss will not amount
to more than $500.

yesterday morning, and was opened with

G. M: :Pegg and G. w. Burke were invited
to address the meeting, which they did
briefly, referring to their work and Attic
lions during the year. The question of the
day, "Is there more than one order in tie
Christian ministry!" was then taken up
and discussed by Revs. A. W. Milby, W. L.

reported for discussion at next meeting,
"Does the Intsrcession of Christ.include the
impenitent ?" Rev. j. D. Curtis closed the
meeting with the benediction.

The QastcEstep Nine.

The Stockholders Of the Quickstep Base
Ball Association held meeting last even
ing, for the purpose Gratifying the contract
made by the Manager with players for the
coming season, and the following is the nine
selected for 1876:
Fisher, formerly ofthe Quicksteps.
Steidham, formerly of the Quicksteps.
Bushong, formerly of the Archer, Phila-
delphia.
Geary, formerly Of the Quicksteps.
Splaine, formerly of the Quicksteps.
Lafferty, formerly Of the Quicksteps.
Curry, formerly Of the Burlington.
Church, formerly Of the Quicksteps.
Arundle, formerly of the Archer.
The positions which will be assigned to
these players has not as yet been entirely
decided.
Lafferty will be the regular pitcher, and
will be assisted when necessary by Arundle
Of the Archer. Bushong will be the regu-
lar catcher, aud will be relieved when ne
cessary by Hindle, the old catcher of the
club. Although those of our readers can
readily guess When the old players who have
Oeen retained, will play, we are. not at
be some change from last year. This morn
iuS q AOICC VI ACA Will UC pun W WOIh ~
the grounds, which will be graded and
otherwise improved, and improvements
made. The fence will be repaired and the
seats fixed. The association have under
consideration propositions from several of
our merchants for advertisements upon the
inside of the fence, but they have not yet
decided whether they will allow it.
1t is not likely that the season will open
before the first Of next month, when the
players will commence practice, as their
contract will then begin. A limited num-.
Der of season tickets will be issued soon,
and as there seems to be quite demand,
it is quite likely that they will soon be ex-
hausted. The rsfreshment stand will be
given out to the highest bidder at the meet
ing of the Association on Monday night
next. There are . number of applicants,
and all who want to bid will be required to
hand them in soon. The prospects for the
season are excellent, and our old friend
Ryan, at the Centennial news stand, Mar
ket above Sixth, has received supply of
bats and balls, and they are, Of course, of
finest quality.
There il a feeling among the lovers of
the game in this city that the Association
is well organized, and will be honestly and
successfully managed, which will 60 far
towards fine season.
