Balltown Etchings.

The festive punkey makes things
lively here.
The Sunday school picnic given at
Bobbs Creek, and visited by the Ball.
town Sunday school. was highly ap-
preciated by all. The children declare
they had sufficient candy, nuts and
cake to last them until Christmas.
Everything was arranged in good
style, and although the incessant rain
prevented any outdoor amusement the
time was improved by beneficial ser.
mon preached by Mr.. Toby in the
church near by. The ladies of Ball.
town had taken great pains with the
children and taught them a beautiful
exercise beitting the occasion, but
which, unfortunately, they were un-
able to perform ewing to the arrange
ments previously made by the other
school.
The Porcupine Oil Co.'s fret we'll
on the east line, joining the Agnew &
Proper reserve, was opened on the 9th.
She is a gusber.
No. 2, on the Agnew and Proper re.
serve, was opened on the 7th; number
8 on the 1lth; both are good wells.
We were honored last week by q
visit from Judge Proper and wife of
1ionesta; they were accompanied by
the Judges brother ard his wife, who
reside near Titusville. The Judge is
great favorite among US, hence it is
useless to say we were very glad to
see him and his friends, and that a
repetition Of thier visiL is desirable.
Some of the youth and beauty of
Bobbs Creek, who were so very sancti.
monious on the Fourth, became very
hilarious while witnessing the display
of fire works here in the evening.
Miss Stel rlt, who has been visiting
friends and relatives in this place for
the past two weeks, returned to her
home in TidiOute last Tuesday. Miss
Sterrit declares she was very agreeable
disappointed in Balltown and intends
visiting us again soon. Glad to hear
it, Miss Sterrit.
The dance at the Balltown House
Friday night was a brilliant affair !;
there were twenty-five couple in at.
tendance and they all. with very few
exceptions, did honor to the music
rendered by Weaver's orchestra. We
cannot speak too highly of Mr.. Weav-
eT's rendition's. EGO

THE OAR.
The Race Between Jake Gauduar and
George HOsmer Easily Won by
the Former.

ST. Louis, Sept. 2S.
The race between Jake Gauduar and Geo
Hosmer of Boston, three miles with turn for
$500 aside, which took place at Crevscour
Lake this afternoon was won easily by
Gauduar. There were more than 1000 per-
sons present. The water was quite lumpy,
preventing fast time. The men were started
precisely at 4.45 and took the water simultan-
eously, Gaudaur pulling 81 strokes a minute
and Hosmer sc. Hosmer maintained this
stroke to the turn, which he reached in 8 434
Gaudaur dropped his stroke to %, being a
couple of lengths behind. On the way
home the pair rowed very evenly until within
about half a mile to the finish when Gauduar
quickened his stroke to "a and began to draw
away. Hosmer made a squirt, but it was of
no avail. Gauduar continued to increase the
lead, notwithstanding the earnest efforts of
his opponent, and crossed the line three open
lengths. Time, 20 minutes and so seconds
The race from the turn flag home was against
a strong wind and in rough water. Gaudaur
will challenge Ross for race three miles
with turn over the same course for $500
aside ard allow him $50 for expenses to
come here.

CLEVELAND'S WOES.
Twelve Incendiary Fires Within Forty
Eight HOurs-Large Losses.

CLEVELAND, Sept 81.
At o'clock this afternoon the 18th ncen-
darv fire within As hours was started in the
lumber yard of the Cleveland Saw Mill &
Lumber company, in the great lumber dis.
trict on the flats, and the strong wind carrie d
the flames eastward through the yard, destroy
ing million feet of lumber and about so
feet of the trestle of the Conoton Valley rail-
road, cutting off trains from access to the
depot. The fire was checked with loss of
S20 900.
About o'clock a small boy standing near
the passenger station of the Conoton Valley
road observed a man creep stealthily up to a
baggage car and passenger coach standing on
a side track. Shortly after he noticed flames
issue from the coach and gave the alarm. A
locomotive drew the cars into the open space.
where they were completely gutted. The
entire department was at the lumber fire.
and had the flames from the burning cars
reached the depot a large district filled with
wooden buildings must have been swept away.
Toward o'clock fire was discovered in
Greene block on st. Clair street, but was
extinguished with little damage The kin
dlings used were two packing boxes satura-
ted with coal oil.
Prudy & Mcneil, one of the largest lumber
firms in the city, today received an anony-
nous letter from Chicago warning them that
their stock would be in ashes before Monday
Thos. Manning's Machine Works have re.
ceived a similar warning, and both firms
have taken precautions accordingly. The
excitement is general. and there is hardly a
resident of Cleveland but feels apprehensive
for the safety of his property.

ROCKINGHAM HOUSE BURNED.
One of the Most Elegant Hotels in New
England a Ruin.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 81.
At the hour of 4. 45 this morning the guests
OF the Rockingham House, owned by Hon.
Frank Jones, were awakened from their
slumbers and told to hurry out of the build
ing, as the basement was on fire. The women
In their night dresses and the men with their
clothes on their arms rushed into the Railways
which they found rapidly filling with smoke
With considerable difficulty they CROPPED their
way through the building Some of the
women. almost stified by the smoke reached
the sidewalk, where in the sharp frosty air
they made their toilets. The women dis
played considerable presence of mind and
repressed their excited feelings until they
reached the outside air, where many of them
began to sob and scream. An alarm was
quickly sounded, but it was about 20 minutes
before the fire engines arrived and some of
the guests say that it was almost an hour
water was thrown upon the buildings.
In the meantime the fire had gained con-
siderable headway and soon after the struct-
ure was enveloped in flames. Every effort
was made to save the building. but without
avail and half an hour later the roof fell in.
The loss is variously estimated at from $780,
600 to $4,000
Considerable furniture and personal pro-
perty was saved. 1t is thought the building
which is owned by Mrs. Sinclair, sister of
Frank Jones, will be rebuilt at once.

IRISH POLITICS.
Eagan Has Something to Say on
the SUBJECT.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Sept. 81
With reference to the rumOr of the revolt
against Parnel in County Mayo, Ireland
as indicated in a special cable despatch dated
Sept. %, Patrick Eagan, president of the
Irish national league of America, declared
that ''Parnell desires the present representa-
tives in Parliament from County Mayo-John
OConnOr Power and Rev. Isaac Nelson-to
again contest their seat at the next general
election, but disaffected leaguers objected to
Parnells dictation, and proposed Capt. Boy
colt and john VIM. Nally for Parliament" !"
"The truth of the matter is" said Eagan.
John O'COnnOr Power is despicable traitor
to the national cause, and Nelson was re-
quested by the supporters of Parnell to resign
his seat, for the reason that he failed to dis
charge his duty to the party, Neither of the
parties are approved of by Parnell, but on
the contrary their withdrawal from Irish
politics is desired, and their defeat at the
next election is certainty. To talk of the
popularity of Boycott, who supplied in his
name an addition to a dictionary of omnous
import to the enemies of the people, is alb
surd. Any candidates approved of by Par
nell will be Just as certain of election in
County Mayo at the next vacancy as in any
constituency in Ireland"

SPORTING.
BRUTAL FIGHT.
Matte BOhen and John Wiley Have a
SluggIng Match on Long Island.

NEW YORK, Sept IS.
One Of the most brutal prize fights that
that ever took place on this side of the At
lantic was fought near Long Island City at a
late hour Saturday. About 60 sporting men
from Long Island City and Brooklyn were
present. The principles were Matte Bohen,
aged "a years, weighing l52 pounds, resi-
dent of Greenpoint, and John Wiley, sged
% years and weighing psi pounds, of Long
Island City. The fight was for purse of
$500 and was under the Marquis of Queens
bury rules. In the third round Bohen fell
heavily and Wiley falling'on him dislocated
his shoulder. Bohen was picked up and
taken to his corner and his friends were
ready to throw up the sponge, but Bohen
wouldn't permit it and insisted on resuming
the fight. In the 4th, 9th, 9th and 7th rounds
Bohen received all the punishment, and at
the end OF the 7th was taken to his corner
senseless. His seconds threw up the sponge,
but when Bohen recovered he insisted on
continuing the mill. His friends would not
permit it and Wiley was awarded the stakes
Bohen was removed to his home in a coach,
while Wiley walked home with his friends
Old sports present said it was the pluckIest
fight they ever witnessed.
