and at one time it appeared as if they would
carry the day. They batted hard and fielded
sharply and clearly. Withee, owing some
what to sore hands, failed to show up well
behind the bat for the home team, and was
soon replaced by Freeman, who caught a
fine game. Parsons, the crack Colby pitcher,
occupied the box for the Watervilles fer
about six innings, but was quite wild and
made hard work for his catcher to hold him.
The Augustus played a very even game
throughout, and by hard and timely batting
won their third consecutive victory. Below

CalIfOrnia'S Plans.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-It is reported
among Blaine men that California has
agreed to vote for Stanford on the
preliminary ballots in order to save
their effectiveness for the Blaine move
ment at the time agreed upon. De
Young, of California, says that it is
not true, that while the delegates from
the Pacific coast are all for Blaine they
don't exactly agree upon what to do
at first.
The credentials committee has sent
word to the convention TO give notice
that the full committee will report on
the contested case at 8 p. m. The
committee expects to be in secret ses-
sion unit! that hour. 1t is reported
that the committee has decided to
waive Malone, Much speculation is
INDUCED in as to whether the fight is
to be carried to the floor Of the con-
yentiOn.

Soap Bubble.

Owing to the smash.up on the rail-
road the "Soap Bubble" company did
not reach this city until $50 p. M,
but they did not waste a minute and
began their performance soon after 8
o'clock to very good audience.
Mr.. II. J. Fargon himself is bright
and amusing. md he has IL hard work
ing and clever company to assist him
in the musicul farce OF "Soap Bubble"
1t claims to be fun, and fun only, and
served to thoroughly entertain the au-
dience with its jokes, numerous songs,
and comic situations. 1t amounts to
nothing, but the fun is clean and the
troupe commendable, though the bar
Der shop was borrowed from Dixey
and Adonis.

The Virginia Contest.

CHICAGO, June 20-The credentials
committee met in secret session at 8
o'clock and at once resumed consider
alton OF the Virginia contest. After
hearing briefly and without decision
the claims of the delegates at large,
the committee took up numerically
the eight contested election districts.
The first and fourth not being con-
tested, the second, third and fifth
districts had at noon presented their
respective claims. No, other being
taken. The Malone men are not
hopeful OF the committees deciding in
their favor but will carry the fight in
to the convention.

to Helena and Glendive, from which
places locomotives were promptly
started loaded with men anxious to
run down the bold desperadoes.
From the way in which
the robbery was conducted it
was evident that the per-
petrators were amateuer, and from the
fact that at first the passenger coaches
were left entirely unguarded. il is be.
lieved that the robbery of the passen.
gers was an after-thought.
There are several theories as to who
the masked men were, the most plaus-
ible of which is that they belonged to
a band OF laborers who have been
working on the grading Of IL railroad
to Crook City. Some time ago the
ub contractors cleared out with the
money and ever since the defrauded
workmen have been loafing about the
vicinity. 1t is supposed that these
men, driven to desperation, resorted
to get their money out of the company
at any hazards and so held up the
train with the intention of simply
robbing the express car. Disappoint-
ed in the small returns, they resolved
to the expedient of going through the
passengers.
Whoever the perpetrators were and
whatever their motive may have been,
the robbery is one of the bcldest on
record, and will not soon be forgotten
in this part of the county.

Jealous Californians.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-Osborne, Of
Los Angeles, California, ~ member of
the committee on resolutions, is work
ing hard to secure the incorporation
of plank on the Chinese and silver
questions that will be satisfactory to
the California delegates and all the
people on the Pacific coast. al can
safely say" said Osborne, this after
noon, "that we will secure the adoption
of an anti Chinese plank that will be
in every way satisfactory to the coast.
Chinese labor will be denounced in
strong terms, and resolutions will
recommend the enactment OF any leg
islation that may be needed to keep
out Chinese labor. As to silver, the
resolutions will contain moderate
plank. 1t may not be quite as strong
as some of us people on the coast de-
sire, but it will be great step in the
right direction.
The California delegation have re-
ceived a good many dispatches from
the country urging them to stand to
their colors. The effect Is to intensi-
fy the excitement in that delegation,
which is divided as to their policy.
The chairman and younger members
are anxious to put Blaine in nomina-
ton, but the majority, in compliance
with the request of the old friends of
the man from Maine, advise waiting
until it is announced that the other
candidates have had chance This

ing House After Saving Three by Al
most superhuman Efforts.
NEWARK, n. j., Aug. IA sad tragedy
took place at Mt Tabor, N. j., early yester-
day morning. Before the very eyes Of the
mother, powerless 10 help them, two of her
children were burned 20 death.
Rev Mr.. McCuske, a Baptist clergyman,
had early in the season rented the beautiful
Long cottage at Mt. Tabor, and removed TO
1t with his wife and his family OF FIVE little
children. He had gone to attend 10 some Of
his duties, and Mrs. McCuslsie was on the
lawn in front Of the house enjoying the morn
ing air when the cry Of fire startled her
She ran to the house, only to be met by a
burst of flames Entrance through that way
was impossible, and yet within the house, in
an upper room lay her children, sleeping,
unconscious of their danger. Without losing
amoment the almost distracted mother ran
10 the back of the house, entered it through
the sitting smoke and ran up tho stairs that
we're already cracking with the flames. Car
rie, George and Flossie were the children
nearest her, and, seizing all three, she hast
ened for the door,
Inch by inch she had to fight her way out
Of the flames. The cottage was but tinder
box, and her fight for life was a hard one
When at last she gained the air she was
overcome with the heat and exertion. She
had saved three Of her children, but had
nearly died herself in the attempt. Her face
and hands were terribly burned Within
the cottage, however, lay two other Of her
babes Frank and Grace, one 21( and the
other 81 years of age. The fire blocked
completely all avenues Of ingress, though the
mother, crazsd by excitement and grief,
would probably have gone herself to her
death but for some neighbors who had
gathered and prevented her The ashes Of
the poor little unfortunates mingled with
those Of the house. The fire was caused by
the explosion of the kerosene stove in the
kitchen, which a servant had been attend
ing The latter as usual, escaped without
injury.
