LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

GROSS CARELEssNEss.- half-past
o'clock yesterday afternoon smoke was
seen to issue from an inclosed back porch
of the private clearinghouse in the rear of
Gattmann Wilson, store on Sixth street.
The occupants of the property were not at
home, and a number of men forced the
place open and proceeded up stairs to where
the fire was. There they found the rustic
boarding of the rear on fire and a can of
ashes set up against it. Axes were pro-
cured and the boards cut away and water
dashed upon the fire, which was thus ex-
tinguished. While this was going on, par
ties were trying to send in an alarm from
the box at Seventh and streets but it did
not work freely, and it was ten minutes or
more before an alarm was sounded. The
department got there too late TO be of any
assistance.

ton Of this popular place of amusement is

To-MoRRow's GAME.-A ciosely-contested
game OF baseball is looked for tomorrow
at Agricultural Park, when the Haverys
viii meet the Atlas once more. The former
now stand as the champions of the State,
and the home club very fair second. The
Atlas are playing strong games these days,
and it IS not altogether unlikely that they
will come out victorious tomorrow. The
supposition is that Lawton will catch for
the HaYerlys. The Secretary of the Alta
club has prepared neat cards of admission
to the special stand for the use of club
members, scorers and press representatives
No one will hereafter be admitted without
one Of these cards. Tomorrow game

State Convention meets in the metropolis on
Tuesday next, hence those that have axes
TO grind seem anxious to be on the ground
early. The impression prevails among
the best-lniormed politicians here that the
delegates selected at the Convention last
Wednesday will be the preferred ones from
this county to the State Convention.
