A Pllotage Case.

The case of W. w. Norman, charged with
a violation of the pilotage laws, was ar

THE RECEPTION AT THE ACADEMY.
BADLY BEATEN.
An Amateur Nine Stands Up Against
Professionals,

Yesterday afternoon the Defiance and
Quickstep base ball clubs met on the Front
street grounds, 1t being the first appearance
of the amateurs, who made but poor
showing against the professional players.
The amateurs were unable to hit Pyle's
balls, which reminded them very forcibly of
the game plaped by the Defiance in Reading
last fall with ths Actives of that city for
whom Pyle was the pitcher. Connell pitched
for the Defiance, but with the rest of the
nine showed the want of some practice. But
seven innings were played owing to the
rain. The score In detail is as follows:

A BOLD, BAD KOBBER,
The Police Headquarters Entered and the
Chief a Loser.

There was general air of mystery sur
rounding the City Hall last evening, and
Chief Hawkins sat as if deep problem was
playing havoc with his brain. The patrol
men were gathered in the Office and all out
siders carefully excluded. 1t was then an
nounced that some one had enter ed the
dressing room of the officers, on
the first floor, and stolen two
brushes and . box of backing. The Chief
was very desirous to know If any of bis men
had taken the articles by mistake or whether
some bold cracksmau had reached through
the bars of the window and helped himself.
The guilty party was not found and with
instructions to 'keep it dark" the Chief
started his force out for the night.

Fast Day in Massachusetts.

Fast-day in the Bay state is attract
great length of the governors prOcla-
nation, his religious cant, and his sug-
gestion to the clergy that they eschew
political subjects in their Fast-day dis
courses and preach the gospel instead,
served to make the proclamation and
its author subjects of much newspaper
and ministerial comment. The minis
tiers in that state have been in the habit
of considering on such occasions ques-
tions of state and national importance,
as is quite proper they should and
hence his gratuitous suggestion was
not received with great favor.
On Sunday, the day for reading the
proclamation from the pulpits, that
document had an interesting and va
ried reception. In some cases it was
not read at all. In other portions OF
it, such as were most appropriate to
the occasion, only were read. In many
cases there were indirect but unmistak
able illusions to the demagOguery OF
its author. One clergyman declared
that if there ever was time when il
was necessary to eXclaim, "God save
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
it is the present. In the sermons to-
day (Thursday) the governor will prob
ably catch "A raking.

tablished, in the conservative and sub
stantial management he has given
them, in the constant attention he has
paid to repairs, and the introduction of
the latest improvements, in the wisdom
gained by long experience, but these
advantages should not make him blind
to the fact that the day of sharp. Wig
orOus and dangerous competition can
not be long postponed. The
southern mills are not yet producing
the finer qualities of goods, but remem-
bering the history of the last ten wears
it is not safe to assume that with the
same machinery that they use in the
north they will not successfully do this
within the next ten years. We do not
share the fears expressed in some quar-
tiers, that New England cotton manu-
factureTs are doomed, but it is evident
they are to meet with a sharp competi-
ton, and that very likely to insure
their future success their methods of
conducting business will have to be
changed, and new markets for their
products opened Boston Traveller.

4 Vermont Inventor.

NJ. l.. Baxter, the inventor of the
new telephone for long distances, is "A
son of the late Hon. POrtus Baxter. of
Vermont, and brother of DR.. Baxter.
OF the L. 5. Army. He was formerly
of Derby Line. He says that he has
not yet witnessed the experiments of
long distance talking, but has wire
running from his laboratory for a dis
lance of five miles, and he SAYS that
over this wire he can hear a whisper
spoken at distance of seventeen feet
from the transmitter. The great diff
ference between the Blake transmitter
and his invention, Mr.. Baxter saws.
lies III the fact that while there is no
doubt that the Blake instrument
could be so adjusted as to admit of a
whisper spoken several feet away be-
ing heard over the entire line, if the
speaker changed his voice to a shout
it would so agitate the diaphragm
that nothing could be heard with
the Baxter transmitter, on the other
hand, the tone of voice would not
make any difference at the other end.
MIR. Baxter says that he has expert
mented with electricity for twenty
five years and is now endeavoring to
apply the duplex system to the tele-
phone.

More Zeal than Good Sense.

There are some men i'll the world
who seem to have no idea of the fitness
of things, and who let pass no OppOr-
tunity to show the public that they
have more zeal in upholding their par
Iicular views or hobbies than they have
good Judgment. To this class, accord
ing to all accounts, belongs Rev. JOna-
than Blanchard, president of Wheaton
college of Illinois, who preached the
funeral sermon of IA young man IN
Washington, d. c., Sunday. The de
ceased was a member of the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, Knights of Pythi-
as and the Independent Order of Me-
chanics. At the request of the family,
these societies attended and conducted
the funeral services, and the clergy
of secret societies, which so worked up
on the feelings of IA sister of the de
ceased that she tainted. This created
considerable excitement, and the lady 5
husband asked the clergyman to dis
continue his remarks, which he refused
to do unless directed 10y the father OF
the deceased, at whose request he was
present The father told him he "bet-
ter quit and the offending clergyman
picked up his manuscript and left the
church. After considerable delay the
services of another clergyman were Sc
cured, and the service proceeded with
out further interruption. Considera-
BILE Indignation is felt by the societies
thus unwarrantably assailed. This
unhappy occurrence illustrates the
want of tact of many people. The crit
icism of the societies was out of place
at that time, and especially so from the
fact that they were showing the last
tribute of respect to a deceased mem
Der, at the request of his friends.

Execution of Mrs. Meaker.

Mrs. Meaker paid the penalty for her
helnous crime on Friday. Thursday
night she went to bed about ten O'Clock
and arose about six on Friday morn
ing, having slept soundly through the
night. The matrOn cOmbed her hair
and arranged her toilet She was
dressed in plain black cambria, with
ruche around the neck and white neck
tie. The dress was simple, having a
single rutfie around the bottom. The
matron told her she did not look more
than sixteen. She laughed heartily,
and said she thought she did look pref
ty well. She ate a hearty breakfast OF
beefsteak, three potatoes, a slice OF
bread, a piece of mince pie and a cup
of coffee. The chaplain came to see
her about eight o'clock, previous to in
speeding the gallOws. Soon after, ac-
cOmpanied by the sheriff she visited
the gallows and closely inspected it,
| lnquiring into the details of its con
structlon and operation. Upon return
ing to her quarters, she was visited by
the chaplain, but he was received with
great Indifference. In interviews with
Director Thatcher and Sheriff Ather-
ton, she asserted her innocence, and al
luded to her son Almon's confession as
| lie. She made inquiries for her hus-
band, and appeared lf-pOssessed. She
had previously wished to take chloro-
form before the execution, but did not
think she should care for it. She
showed more bravado than any of the
other eleven criminals who have pre-
coded her. A gentleman called to see
her III the cell who lives near her home.
She wished him to tell her daughter
that she had been up on the gallOws
alone, and that Mr.. Amsden Gust had
hold of her arm" She sent a kiss to
her husband and to her daughter.
When she went to her cell, she was
more calm than when she left it, not
even tremble in her hand being visi-
BILE. She looked cheerful and happy.
She ate some dinner with evident rel
ish. Her son AlmOn was left in his cell.
not caring to work, as he was much de-
pressed and says but little. The spec
tators were admitted at one o'clock.
The gallows stood in the northeast
corner of the west wing of the prison.
Mrs. Meaker's arms were pinioned be-
fore she left the cell. The procession
was as follows Sheriff Amsden, Chap
lain Hull, deputy, Mrs. Meaker, a
deputy. She was seated in a chair and
evidently did not like the crowd. At
ter prayer by the chaplain, Sheriff
Amsden handed her slip with these
words: "Emeline Meaker, if You have
anything to say why the execution of
the sentences hOuld not take place, you
have now an opportunity" She was
calm and pale, and sat with closed
eyes. "GoOd-by, Mr.. Hull" she said,
81 have nothing to say, only | forgive
you for hanging me-" Her legs were
then tied, she standing all the while,
and showing no signs of trembling.
She said: MAY God forgive you ALL
The drop fell at 35, and she was
launched into eternity. After hanging
thirty minutes, she was taken down,
dead. She died with scarcely strug-
gle. This was the most quiet hanging
that ever occurred in Vermont.

1t was hoped that in the far south
west this once-b brilliant pulpit orator
would endeavor to redeem himself ;
but he seems to have plunged deeper
into moral ruin. 1t is sad to think to
what depths Mr.. Murray has sunk.

and prosperity turned his head, and
