BASE BALL,
WatsOns VS.. Geneva.

On Sept, 2Sth the Watsons of this city
met the Geneva Blues on the jefferson fair
grounds to settle the dispute between
them as TO which was the superior club.
The playing was poor on both sides, but
the Watsons lead at the bat and also ex-
celled in the field. Chapman pitched for
Geneva in the first six innings. but being
pounded heavily their manager thought
best to remove him, but not till Field, the
left handed batter, had hit for three bags
did they put Bohen in his place. The
boys were not slow in tumbling on to
Bohen's pitching, as the number of base
hits will show. Hutchinson pitched well
after the first inning, and Mcknight COW
cred I'd to perfection. The features of
the game were the base playing of Fletcher
and the fielding of Warrington, the
latter throwing a man out at the home
plate.

ROME,

Eds Tel:-The house of Mr.. Wesley
Wright formerly known as the Rodgers
Tavern was entered Sunday night by per-
sons supposed to be tramps probably three
or four in number. They gained an en-
trance by going up ladder on the back
side of the house and through a window
in the upright. They first proceeded to eI-
plore the chamber which comprises several
large rooms After going through this to
their satisfaction they turned their course
down stairs but were met at the foot Of
the stairs by the plucky lady of the house
Mrs. Wright who closed the door and held
it against them when hearing signs of their
retreat up the stairs she thought to pursue
them but on trying to open the door she
found it was being held by one of the
tramps to give his companions chance to
escape. After giving them time to do so he
let go the door and made good time up the
stairs, out OF the window and to the ground
without stopping to use the ladder.
Mean time Mrs. Miner, Mrs. Wrights
mother had gone for assistance to the
house of Capt. L. C. Reeve who was soon
on the ground but careful search failed
to discover any of the tramps still linger-
ing about the premises. Nothing of any
value has been missed. Mrs. Wright and
Mr.. Miner were the only occupants Of the
house at the time, Mr.. Wright and son
both being away from home.
Now Mr.. Editor we are not down on
tramps in general any more than we are
on rattle snakes but we respectfully re.
quest them to behave themselves while in
-our quiet neighborhood as they might be
mistaken for burglars and get the benefit
Of full dose of quail shot from some OF
the careless boys. Rv.

OH. FIRE.
Eleven tank Cars Destroyed and Two
Hundred Feet OF Double Track Torn
UP-DesIruetIon afIhe Narrow Gauge
DepoT.

Monday morning about O'Clock a west
bound oil tram Of fifty two tank cars, broke
into three rarts when approaching Paines-
vile station, and the accident was not DIS
covered by the engineer, the first break haV-
ing occurred between the twenty-tnird ana
twenty-sourth cars Of the train. The sec
ond l,rsak was nine cars nearer the end.
Running in this way, in three independent
sections. the train reached the junction Of
the Painesville & Youngstown narrow gauge
road, when the engine stopped as usual, and
the second and third parts came crashing
into the first section. Several of the oil
tanks were at once thrown from the trucks,
and almost Immediately the oil ignited.
The flames ran from car to car till the nine,
composing the middle part of the train were
afre, the rear cars having been drawn OF.
One of the large tanks exploded, throwing
the burning oil for great distance. The
report of the explosion was very loud, and
the eoneussion was felt severely for some
distance. while the light of the rising flames
was plainly seen in the morning twilight
even from Collinwood. This explosion set
fire TO the Marrow Gauge depot, standing
100 feet to the north, and the building was
speedily consumed, the contents, however
being saved. The explosion of this nrSt
tank was soon followed by a second and a
third of less force, and by this time the
crude oil, the woodwork of the cars, the
cross-ties of both tracks for perhaps 2OO
feet, and the Narrow Gauge depot were ali
blazing away warmly. OF course the whole
population. local and transient, was at the
scene of the confagration, and fire engine
was wasting its efforts on the burning sta
ton. But. owing to the extreme heat, the
fremen could not face the fire and were
Obliged to ''shoot their arrows DER the
house" from the rear The watchman of
the Marrow Gauge, man named Murphy,
while attempting to uncouple some Of the
rear cars at the moment Of the first tank ex-
plosion, was throw to the ground by the
conclusion, and painfully bruised. He
CfdMI6O Oh on MS ldnuS anu kLeeS anu was
cared for. Mr.. Freeman, Division Super
intendent of the road, and two or three
others were slightly burned and blistered.
By the force of the collision of the several
parts of the train the cars which were final
ly burned, were nearly all ditched, and here.
lying upside down, their blazing contents
flowed off and were consumed. The cars
were completely destroyed, while the rails
of the two tracks were warped and curved
out of all lshapeby the great heat. For two
hundred feet the road was torn up and re-
mained impossible for hours. The inter
ruptiOn continued during a part Of the af-
ternoon, during which time passengers were
transferred, and freight was delayed.
The value of the oil burned amounts to
about 81, 800. The value of the cars and
tanks is about 81, 800 apiece making the
total loss on cars and oil, about $17,5OO.
The loss to the Narrow Gauge Road, by
the burning of the depot, will not exceed
So, 900. No insurance.

Garfield and His In.erests.

In the Sentinel of the present week,
the following appears as part Of an
article on the Independent candidate move
ment:
From the men mostly engaged in this
move we cannot but believe, that it is
intended to weaken Mr.. Garfeld's strength
for the Senate.
OF course the Sentinel is at liberty to
believe any incongruous or improba-
BILE idea, but if the evidences are all
against that idea, he does not use com
mon eandor, in asserting for public effect,
that which is without the least shadow
of fact about it. The opponents Of Mr..
Thorp's nomination; in this place, who
are prominent in this movement, have
already been recognized by Mr.. Garfield,
himself, in all his relations with them,
and the place, as his most intimate and
reliable friends, and Mr.. Howells dares
no more to charge one of them to his
face with a want of honesty in that
friendship, than he would dare to charge
the General with duplicity in his open
and earnest reciprosity of that feeling.
We are not aware that the friendGness
of the TELEGRAPH for Gen. Garfield was
ever doubted before, and the implied pO-
sition of the Sentinel, that 81 am bet
ter champion of our M. c. than you,
shows little of the vanity and assur-
ance of the caucus nominee he supports,
and will probably be taken with some
allowance by the readers of the two pa
pers. So far from being a covert and
false move against Mr.. Garfield, the op-
position sprung from fear to trust his
interests and honor in the hands one so
vain and indiscreet as Mr.. Thorp has
succeeded in showing himself on most
occasions before public assemblages. The
Independent candidate, Mr.. Tuckerman,
is respected for his sincerity and balance
of character. Discretion is a prominent
feature of his character. His sentiments
were freely expressed at the meeting
that gave him his nomination, and his
friendship for and course of action in
behalf of Gen. Garfield has been reafirm
ed over his own signature in various let
tiers in the hands of friends here and else
where Not man in the assembly that
nominated Mr.. Tuckerman, but that
would give Garfield their heartiest
support for any advancement in the gift
of the people or Legislature.

! PsstOr-Rev. Binckley had a reception al
the chnrch on the evening of the 25th.
The attendance was very large and every.
thing very enjoyable. Last evening, pur-
suant to notice given by Rev. Hickok-
Pastor Of the Pres. Church, a reception
Of the members of church and society, and
Sabbath school, was given at the parsou-
age. There was scarcely room, from the
crowded house, to think that other than
friends In the broadest sense of the term,
lived hereabouts.
In connection with the little history Of
Of this entertainments above given we
are painfully obliged to add that in all
probability this is their closing reception
here. From a reliable source we learn
that the present month closes Mr.. Hikok's
labors here. Having an engagement for
some months pressed upon him he finally
accepts the Passionate of Freedmen's College
Talladegs Alabama, commencing his labors
the first of next month.
This event throws deep shadow Ger our
path and such loss in not only Pastor
but in the very estimable wife and family
as well, is surely felt by any church organ
ization. This course is doubtless taken
from deep sense of duty and we humbly
bow in submission to the will of ''Him,
who doeth all things well". Let us add
tnat this reception was one long since in
Oenued to have taken place and had no
reference to their removal.
Last Wednesday evening Rev Powell of
Geneva delivered an address entitled the
american Soldier" at the Baptist church
in this village.
1t was in the interest of Webster Post
G. A. R.. A small admittance fee re-
ceiYed at the door. From some means or
other the speaker was not greeted with
the numbers in attendance that such an
address was entitled to.
Another time we promise better treat
ment and hope Mr.. Powell may pass over
this sin of commission OH our part and at
some future day give us another call.
Inc peacn crop mas been mostly worked
of, though not without much waste. The
later varieties ara very inferior. The trees
had too much to support. When will we
learn to pick of one half or more of those
that set-thus raising fruit worth some
thing, besides saving the trees.
Our neighbors from south towns have
been up gathering them in at mere nomi-
nal prices.
Mr.. G. G. Viets has finished his new
cigar shop building and from present ap-
pearanees will soon occupy it.
The same presents very neat and costly
appearance and must be very model of
convenience. G.

ANDOYER.

Eds. Teg::-The Andover fair was favor
ed with most desirable weather, and it
proved in every respect perfect success.
By reason Of the recent dangerous injur-
les received by Mr.. J. S. Morley, he was
prevented from giving this institution the
same personal care and supervision he has
SO generously bestowed upon it in former
years, yet the grounds and buildings were
placed in very good condition for the re-
ception of the stock and various articles,
of which the citizens of this vicinity may
well be proud. Our neighbors from
Western Pennsylvania, were in attendance
in large numbers, and rendered efficient
aid in making this exhibition pleasant
affair to the thousands in attendance.
This fair may now be considered a
permanent institution, and annually brings
together large numbers from the borders
of both States, making it the occasion of
renewing old acquaintance, forming new
ones, and the mutual interchange OF expe-
rience and information necessary to success
full agriculture.
