DIRIGos VS.. BANGoRs.
Game Called at End of Sixth Hnning-
Score 10 6-The Dirigo's Catcher En-
iured.


Special Despatch to the Press)
BANGOR, Sept. 26 The Dirigos of Portland
arrived here last night from Belfast at II
O'Clock, and quartered at the Bangor House.
The game this morning drew large crowd OF
people to the fair ground, and 1t was evident
that the game was what they came to see, for
as soon as time was called, the crowd left the
other attractions and gathered around the
diamond to such an extent that the assistance
of policemen was required to keep them back
from the players.
The game opened well and promised to be
close and exciting one, and no doubt would
have been, had not an accident happened to
the Dirigo catcher in the seventh inning,
which prevented any more playing on the part
of the visitors as they were unable to supply
his place, and according to the rules the game
was forfeited to the home nine by score OF
nine to nothing.
Up to the seventh inning the game was mo-
bodys, and the playing of both clubs was very
brilliant. The home nine were first at the bat
and succeeded in scoring; the visitors did also
In the second another run was scored by Ban
cor while the Dirigos were blanked-score 2 to
in favor of the home nine; the third resulted
in run for the visitors while our boys weTe
blanked. This made the score even again tae
fourth was played, and both clubs failed to
score in the fifth the Dirigos got down to
work and by hard batting succeeded in scoring
three runs before retiring, while the home
club was banked-scere to in favor of the
visitors; in the sixth our boys retaliated, and
closed their half of this inning m aking four
runs, which made the score to in their
favor. The visitors in their half of the sixth
scored one and tied the game once more. Ia
the first half of the seventh, Gulliver. the
catcher of the Dirigos, was struck by a foul tip
while under the bat and was unable to catch
without its proving disastrous to the visitors,
and it was thought best to call the game which
they did, with the result as stated above.
Those present seemed to sympathize with
the visitors, and many declared themselves
perfectly satisfied with the Dirigos in refusing
tos play without catcher. Many brilliant
plays were made by both mines, and If the ac-
cident had not occurred it would have been
hard fight before either club could have secur-
ed victory. The Dirigos seemed to be we'll
pleased with their visit, and many were the ex-
pressions of praise bestowed upon Mr.. f. o.
Beale, manager of the fair, for his kindness to-
ward them. Part of the nine returned home
on the "Flying Yankee" while the rest re-
mained here to see the trotting this afternoon,
and will leave for Portland in the morning.

Governor Butler Considered Too omcic-

Governor Butler Considered Zoo OnicIc-
ions.
Boston, Sept 26.-Ex-Governor Talbot,
chairman of the State board of health and
charity, under date of the 21st inst. writes to
Governor Butler stating that the latter's de-
mand for certain cash books and ledgers relat-
ing to the accounts of the superintendent of
out door poor has been referred to him, and he
declines to deliver because the Governor has
no legal authority to demand them.ii Mr.. Tai
bot also requests the return of the book of rec
ords of the board which the Governor got pos
session of some time ago and has since had
several persons examining. Mr.. Talbot protests
against such er pdqte investigation. The sup
erintendent Of out door poor should have an
opportunity for the explanation of his accounts
and the board is disposed to encourage any in
vestigaton necessary. In fact, the Governor
never replied to the request made of him by
the board last June, that he should present
specific charges of misconduct of any officers OF
the board. The board is the proper body to
investIgatenall charges, and any other method
of procedure is unwarranted by law, in viola
tion Of the proprieties OF official life and unjust
to the officers whose conduct may be called in
question.

A Visit to the Passamaquoddies.

Maine Corr. Boston Journal.i
The object of our visit to this section was
to visit the Passamaquoddy Indians, only
few hundred of whom are left of all the
original inhabitants of this portion of the
State. Soon after breakfast Tuesday morn
ing the train on the st. Croix & Penobscot
railroad bore us to Princeton. There par
ty of Indians met us with their canoes to
take us to the settlement three miles farther
on. Our party, consisting of Gov. Robie,
Messrs. Bolster & Cornish of the executive
council, Senator Mclaughlin of Portland,
Mr.. Porter, the Indian agent, accompanied
by S. j. Gallagher, State pension agent, ex-
Mayor Boardman of Calais, Col. Boardman
of the governors staff, Mrs. Bolster of Au-
burn, Mrs. SWhidden of Calais and the
Journals representative, were soon en-
barked in the canoes with an Indian sitting
in the stern of each propelling us over the
lake. The first to embark was the governor,
under the charge of Peel Toman, quite
noted Indian of these parts. Several other
persons also joined the party, so that an i'm
posing array was made as the IA canoes
moved up the lake. As we left Princeton in
our rear we entered wilderness extremely
picturesque and beautiful. The shores of
the lake were dotted here and there with
broad openings containing green fields and
scattered groves Of soft wood ltrees, but in
the main the forest extended 10 the waters
edge. The foliage of the occasional maple
and birch tree has already become redeemed
by the frosts, and these touches of color en-
livened the dense green of the spruce, cedar
and pine foliage, so that new pictures of
surprising beauty continually greeted the
eye as the canoes rounded the headlands of
the meandering shore. In about half an
hour the settlement at Peter Dana's Point
came into view, the flag of the tribe floating
from lofty stan and the door of the little
white church standing open as though bid
ding all welcome.

PENSION FRAUDS.
An Agent Detected in Obtaining Pensions
for Confederate Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-The application OF
rebel soldiers for pensions and the collection of
a fee for prosecuting such claims by a pension
agent, would seem to be the height of absurdi-
ty or the worst of swindles, yet such cases are
Dudley. The agent implicated in this trans.
action is N. W Fitzgerald of this city, of
whom SO much has been written that his dis
barment from practice before the pension bu-
reau is certainty, unless he withdraws volun-
will make call upon Fitzgerald for an expla-
nation this week, although the evidence now
before him is apparently convincing, the ap-
plication for pension stating plainly that the
soldier was in the Confederate army. Fitzger-
aid sold his fine residence property during the
past week to Col. X G. Ingersoll, and other
pieces of real estate. owned by him are reported
to be for sale. These preparations indicate his
retirement from business, and it is reported
that he intends to leave for Europe this fall.

Post Omcc Employees Required to Give
Bonds.

WARRINGTON Sept. 26.-Postmaster Conger
of Washington has established rule requiring
all employees in his office to furnish bond, and
much complaint has been caused thereby. Mr..
Conger says than rs per cent. Of the clerks in
the office were engaged at times in handling
matter that would enable them, If they chose
30 be dishonest, to make it very embarrassing
to the postmaster, if not cause him considera-
BILE pecuniary loss. "There can be no object
ion, that l can see" said Mr.. Conger, ito a
postmaster requiring bonds from every clerk in
his Office If he desires to. l found that not
a single clerk in the registry division was bond
ed, where packages containing millions of dol
lars in the aggregate are handled yearly, and
that even in the money-oIder division some Of
the clerks were not under bond. l am bonded
for large sum, and have right, l think, to
exact some guarantee from the employees in the
office. The most trusted friends of many an
officer have been the very ones that have
proved his rain. There is a good deal in the
moral influences of bond. A man who is
tempted to rob the government might restrain
himself for fear of injuring his friends.'
