The Augusta management received tele-
gram last evening stating that Sullivan of
the Loveils would sgn with the team in this
city. Sullivan is the gentleman who pitched
the last Loveil-Augusta game and is pitcher
possessing a most excellent record. He was
recently given = trial by the Washington
league team in 3 game with Boston on the
Boston diamond and held the heavy hitters of
the Hub team down in fine shape. While in
the boz for Lowell he pitched two games
with the Sslems one day, and won them BOTH
holding the opposing club down to eight hits
in both games. This is = most remarkable
record, and in Mr.. sullivan the Augustus
have undoubtedly secured one Of the finest
pitchers who ever stepped foot on Maine soil
to pitch game Of ball.

FIRE ESCAPE NOT USED.
The Associated Press sent out from
Minneapolis week ago the substance of
the resolutions Of tho local typographical
union designated by name Gen. A. B.
Nettleton as the owner of the burned build
ing, and as censurable for neglecting re.
peated requests Of occupants for additional
fire escapes. A later personal explanation
from Gen. Nettleton did not reach all
points in time for publication. The struc-
ture was built and owned by a corporation
of which Gen. Nettleton was formerly a
member and officer, but he ceased to have
any interest in or control over the corpora
ton and building more than two years ago.
The coroner's jury find that one committee
of the Labor Union conferred with the COM
pany some four years ago in regard to fire
escapes that soon thereafter an additional
folding iron ladder escape was put in the
7rtbuael composing room, on the seventh
floor, and that this escape was In tho build
ing on the night of the fire, but was not
known and not used. This additional fire
escape has been found among the ruins
since the fire.

Secretary Proctor Is not happy
IN his reply to the notification
from the mayor Of New Orleans
Of Jefferson Davis death. He re-
fused to put his flag at half-mast
therefor, as has been done with every
other secretary Of war, of whatever
merit and there have been some who
have had mighty bad records after they
left the Office. Still the flag was half
masted for them, because 1t was the
rule; and the rule required 1t to be
done for Jefferson Davis, who
was at least an honorable and
virtuous man, if the chief of the
rebels. And as good many of these
rebels have had flags lowered for them
since the rebellion, ii is not clear where
fore the official head Of the Confederacy
should have been too bad for the grace.
II does not matter much that the
nag was not lowered. But IL Sec
retsry Proctor had desired to act

do nothing that would be unusual, he
should have half-masted flag that a

A Difference In the Hurry.

Reading has sensibly concluded TO
manufacture her own electric light
which she finds she can do ut far less
price than she pays for It now Lam
caster found out the same thing some
time ago when she had an expert
examination made of her water
power, and an estimate of the
cost Of utilizing 1t for her electric light
ing. What has become Of this matter
in councils? There does not seem to
to have been the same haste
to inaugurate this change as there
was TO establish the poles and
wires for street car propulsion, and yet
It was quite as wise movement, If not
q wiser one. When Councilman Altick
obtained so favorable report from the
engineer who made the examination into
the capacity Of the water power owned by
the city to supply its electric light, and
the small cost at which the plant would
be established and the great saving that
would result in the cost of lighting the
city, We expected that councils would
promptly take measures to carry
20 well appearing project into
effect. But the report still remains
without action upon it. 1t sleeps the
sleep of a project that has no one to bull
and bother it. There is no money to he
made out Of it by anyone but the city,
and there Is no sufficient reason why
councils should fret about saving
money for town SO rich as Lam
caster that can afford every luxury
she wants at the highest price,
and that employs street committee that
covers the street with soft stones in the
summer and digs them out from the
resultant mud in the spring.
