Baseball Association.

At meeting held at the armory last
Friday evening, steps were taken to form
a Watertown Baseball association, and a
committee composed Of William Diekoff,
Fred Hoffman,, Mic. Simon, A. Kruger
and j. Eiffler, was appointed to solicit
aid among our merchants and business
men in furtherance of the object. The
plan is to raise a sufficient sum to pur-
chase and fit up grounds to play on.
There is no doubt that considerable ben
eft to our city would be derived from a
good baseball club, in the way Of bring
ing strangers into the place to witness
games during the season, besides being a
source of amusement to many of our own
peOole.

We had the pleasure on Saturday
night of Witnessing the first performance
| of the historical melodrama, con the
Trail; or Daniel Boone, the Pioneer"
written especially for Peck & Fursman's
company By the we'll known dramatist,
| Charles Gayler Considering the fact
that it was a new play and its first pre-
,entatjon, it went along smoothly under
the direction of stage manager Ungerer,
formerly of Wallack's theatre, New York,
who has nc superior. The orchestra is q
fine one, the stage settings were really
beautiful, the costumes were very appro-
pirate, and, the company being a strong
one, all the parts were filled by competent
people. The Indians acted their parts
remarkably well, and were at home on
the stage. The horses the wolves and
the bear added to the performance, and
there were many thrilling climaxes and
beautiful tableaux to please and delight
the audience. Messrs. Peck & Fursman
have spared no pains or expense to make
the play attractive in every way, and we
have no doubt it will receive the patron
age it so well deserves. There are st
people in the company-six horses, don
kew, several wolves and eight Indians
The street parade was very unique. The
brass band was a fine one and played
splendidly The Indians, in full costume
were a rare sight and pleased the people
especially the young folks. The audience
was large one, and the performance wa
highly applauded.-M. Holly IN. J.

Conductor Ellsworth of the ConsoI1-
 dated Road Arrested for Failing to
 Punch Tickets and Selling Them to
 ScaIpers-He Confesses.
 Railroad people were greatly surprised yes terday when they learned that at the instance of the Consolidated road Conductor Ells- worth, one of the most popular conductors on the road, had been arrested for systemati- -eaIly robbing the road. His plan was to take up tickets and not punch them and then sell them to scalpers in New York. When ar- rested he had about $40 worth of unpunched tickets on his person. Seeing that he was caught he made full confession and gave directions SO that the railroad officials could get about $900 worth more of tickets he had secreted at his hsms in Springfield. He said that he had been systematically robbing his employers since last March, and that during that time he had taken about $700 or $500 worth of tickets. Tke officials of the road, who will push the case te the fullest extent, believe that his peculations cover c period much later than March.
 Vice President Reed said yesterday that il was notknown how much he had stolen, but ir all probability thousands of dollars. Els worth has been suspected for some time ! and has been taking money and tickets. Ht was not caught by detectives. The tickets | sold are all numbered consecutively, anc when the conductors do not report them con secuti7ely the suspicion of the ticket depart ment Is aroused. This was the case witt l Ellsworth. Persons who were watching 1 Ellsworth bought tickets and kept the mum
 bers, but the conductor, not suspecting them failed to turn them in.
 He has wife and child in Springfield He run on the 9:35 g.. m. express to Ney
 York, and on the 4 p. m. express out of Ney
 York as far as Springfield. He had beer employed on the road for twelve years.
