ATLANTA 10 TO 4.

The Home Club Bats Kimbcr Heav-
LYNNE Runs Scored in the First
lnning-Atlanta Ratified and Eas-
lily Dcfeated-Savannah Again at
the Head of the League.
The home club turned the tables on At
lanta yesterday and won by score Of 10
to 4. The crowd that pretty well filed
Ford's Opera House to see the game re-
ported in detail did not expect so one
sided an affair. Savannah started the bali
with nine runs in the first inning. At
lanta did not score until the third inning,
when two men got home. In the seventh
inning two more crossed the plate. The
other innings were blank for the pen
Dant winners. Savannah scored in every
inning except the second, fifth
and seventh. The batting was
not so heavy as the day
before but the home club managed to hit
kimber for ten single base hits and two
two-baggers. Atlanta's errors and
Savannah's even playing were the fea-
lures OF the game. The crowd at the
Opera House cheered loudly when Savan-
nah began scoring, and kept it up till the
end of the game.
The victory puts the home club again
at the head OF the league.

AFFIDAVIT OF GEN. WELLS.


|. William Wells of Burlington, in the
state Of Vermont, on oath depose and say
That was appointed to the office of col
lector OF custom for the district of Yer
mont on the Both day of April A. d. 1872
IN the latter part of August, 1855, re-
ceived at the hands of Is. b. Smalley, esq,
letter from the president of the United
states notifying me of my suspension
from Office, which letter was dated July
18th, 1880. No reasons were assigned by
the president for his action in the prem
ises.
The frontier of the Vermont district is
about 100 miles in extent. There are 50
public highways and five railways within
the district leading directly TO and from
waters of Lake Memphremagog and Lake
Champlain.
There are IA outposts within the dis
trict at which subordinate officers are sta
toned, five of which are located upon rail
way lines and are known rs railway ports,
VIZ ST. Adams, Richford, Troy, New
port and Island Pond At these five
ports and at the office in Burlington the
princlpal lmportations and expectation are
made. Officers are stationed at the other
ports partly for the purpose of receiving
entries, but mainly for the purpose of
guarding the revenue from Smuggling
over the large number of avenues of
trade.
During the season of navigation in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1855, the aggre-
gate number of employees in the district
was Ga. In April IA, 1885, ON which date
addressed letter to the secretary of the
! treasury upon this subject, the number of
employees in the district was 50, the sea
son Of navigation having not at that time
| commenced.
At seven of the outposts but one officer
each was stationed. AT two of said out
posts, two, four, seven eight, and eleven
were stationed respectively.
/ There was also stationed in the Domin-
ion of Canada five inspectors, whose duty
it was to examine baggage and superin-
tend the transfer of freight and baggage
passing in transit through that country.
/ The compensation of four of these was
PAID by the transportation company, as
was also that of one inspector at Island
Pond.
Al said railroad posts the hours of ser
vice are irregular as very many of the
freight as well as passenger trains arrive
from and depart to Canada at night. Ii
fact the service Is continuous day anC
night The district is a very important
one and its service exceedingly difficult OF
account of tue nature of the business ant
of its situation.
The country bordering upon the distric
in Canada in is the main part thickly set
tied throughout the whole extent and tn,
, railroads and travelled ways across thu
line lead to the near or contiguous cite
and municipalities of st. Johns, Farnham
