by water power, and the amount of cider
made is simply immense. Hundreds OF
bushels of apples are ground daily and thous-
ands of gallons of cider made, Apples are
selling at 20 cents per bushel and cider at 8 to
4 cents per gallon.

Union Bridge Water Works.

From the NelrS, Sept. 10.
The Union Bridge Water Works are no
more a mere project or imaginary enterprise.
The completion and success of the work are
assured. Estimates have been as fully made
as is possible at so early a stage; the town
has been carefully surveyed and plated, as
well as the location of the reservoir, source
of supply, and the lines of the mains; agree
ments have been entered into with the owner
of the land required for reservoir and right
of way; and work with eight or ten hands has
been in progress for week or more in well
on Mr.. G. Z. Wolfe's land, not far from the
first railroad bridge east of town. This well
is 26 feet in diameter, and at this writing is
II to Is feet in depth. The water is already
flowing in numerous streams and IN such
quantity as to require constant pumping by
two men. At this writing the flow is 8 or
gallons per minute. 1t will doubtless be
source of much qualification to our people to
learn that this well is in slate rock and that
it will therefore afford soft water. 1t is ex-
pected that the well cannot, and need not,
be very deep, as the indications are that an
abundant supply will be reached at about 20
feet depth.
Work will shortly begin on the excavation
for the reservoir, which will be of the dimen-
sions to contain $50, 900 gallons, and on the
LAYING of the MAINS The Board fully expect
to complete the entire work before freezing
weather.

Base Ball.

Kimber, late of the Southern League, was
brought here last week to pitch for the West
minister club, and Morgan, ALSO late OF the
Southern League, to catch him. The new
battery was put in against the Patapsco club,
of Baltimore, last Saturday, and won the
game by score of IL to 10, in as close and
exciting game as was ever played here.
The Patapsco club was strengthened by
several players of the Snowman Union club,
and the nine was very strong one at all
points, and especially at the bat. The West
minister nine was not the best that the club
can present. and several bad errors were
scored against it.
Kimber pitched fair game. His curves
were good, but he lacked speed, and he was
batted for two singles and double in the
first inning and for single and double In the
second. These, with errors, enabled the
visitors to score four runs in the first inning
| and three in the second, while the home club
got but one run in the first inning and was
banked in the second. In the third inning
both clubs were blanked. In the fourth the
Patapsco scored one run, bringing their score
mn to 8. Several hits and errors in this IN
ming enabled the Westminsters to score six
rms. For the balance of the game the visit
! ors got but two more runs, one IN the eighth
and one in the NINTH The Westminsters in
the fifth inning made run, making the score s
to s, and took the lead in the sixth by adding
two more runs When the visitors made
| their run in the ninth inning it was 10 to 10.
| Kimber made a two Dagger; the next two men
went out. Long, who took the place of Yer
non Reese, was at the bat. He had struck
out twice before, and it looked evident that
he would go out on strikes again. klmber
stole third, by long slide, and thinking that
he had as good a chance to steal home as
Long had of hitting safe, made the des-
perate effort, and succeeded, thus winning the
game.
Knox, the Patapsco pitcher, had great
speed, but his curves were not so great. be
struck out six, while Kimber retired nine.
Ten hits were made off Kimber, with total
of thirteen. Morgan gave him good support,
and proved himself good ball player.
Hits were made by the home team as fol-
lows: Morgan one, Turtle one, Zepp two,
Shaw one, Kimber three, one two Dagger,
Pfarr a two Dagger, Bankard two-eleven hits
with a total of thirteen. Following is the
