LOST IN THE FIRST INNING.

The Dixies Again Taken into Camp by
the CIinches-Perrv's Straight Pitching
Does the Deed-The Game with the
OglethOrpes To-Day.
A big crowd witnessed the Clinch-Dixie
game and the defeat of the home nine at
Base Ball Park yesterday afternoon. The
splendid game on Monday assured a close
contest yesterday, and the crowd went to
see it. While the score did not show it,
the game was one of the best played
matches of the season. The DiXies were
defeated in the first inning with Perry in
the box. The Clinches went to the bat
and began an onset, pounding him
mercilessly and scoring nine successive
runs. The move was an unfortunate one
for the DiXies. Perry pitches a straight
ball, easy to hit, and while he was in the
box the game went into the Clinches'
hands. In the second inning Wescott
went into the box and Norton relieved
Shea, who caught for Perry, to left field,
and went behind the bat for the rest of
the game. Westcotts pitching was inn
mense, and Norton made for himself a
record. The DiXies were BANKED in the
first inning and in each succeeding in
ming up to the fourth, when Norton came
across the plate. The Clinches scored one
run in the second inning, and were blank
ed the rest of the game.
Except the big bunch the Clinches
made at the start off from Perry's pitch
ing the game was one of the finest of the
season. Merritt and Hamann did good
work for the visitors, and played without
an error. Norton caught with a clean
record for the DiXies.
The following is the score:

Some say yes, some say no-when it is
based on facts it carries necessary
weight.
We have talked a good deal lately to the
public, and we are now satisfied that it
has been of great benefit to us and to our
patrons. We have made great many
new customers and also have welcomed
a large number of old ones. All have been
greatly surprised at our prices and have
eagerly availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to replenish their wardrobes at a
profitable saving. Since l have intro
duced my fashionable and well made
clothing the tailor shop has lost its
charms for very large class of people,
and really the difference is no difference
at all, as by my system Ofhaving all of my
suits made according to special super
vision and instruction there can be no
possible chance of a misft or lack of

Great Excitement Among the Noun

BARBoURsyILLE, WEST VA, July IT,.
There is great excitement among the
mountaineers living in the eastern part
OF Wayne county over the alleged appear
ance Of the ghost Of Harvey Fairman,
farmer. who mysteriously disappeared In
1879. Fairman was supposed 10 nave
been murdered, but as no trace OF crime
was ever discovered, the matter was grad
ually forgotten. Several days ago Alex
ander MoOre,a well-knOwn and intelligent
Young man. was out hunting, and had
curious experience. When at the head OF
a dark ravine, he says, he was suddenly
confronted by what seemed to be a goose
or other large white bird, which attracted
his attention and then ran into some
bushes. Following it, he was startled by
seeing before him the ghost OF Harvey
Fairman. his clothes torn and muddy and
his throat cut from ear to ear. In the
conventional hollow tones the spirit told
Moore he had been murdered and the
body hid beneath the floor of his house for
two DAYS, and then brought TO the rayine
and concealed in a hollow tree. Moore
returned home with every appearance OF
one suffering from extreme terror, and
SAYS he will make affidavit to the facts If
necessary.

A nTIstake SomeMhere.

From some cause, possibly neglect. no
associated press dispatch was sent from
Savannah Saturday announcing the nomi-
nation of Hon. Thomas. NJ. Norwood as
candidate for Congress from the First
Congressional district o. Georgia after a
memorable contest OF four days. This is
a remarkable omission, the First being
considered the most important district in
the State.-SaUdRRdh Daily Times.
An Associated Press dispatch was fled
at the Western Union Office on Saturday
night. The records of the Office show that
if was sent. 1t appeared in at least one
New York paper. 1t certainly reached
the Augusta Chronicle, because that
journal asked and received fuller details.
Perhaps the Times didn't inquire in the
right place for information.
