LOUISVILLE, May 2S-The Louisvilles and
Baltimores played tiresome game this after

and the errors of the Louisvilles secured their
defeat. The batting was better than the field

1t is stated that the officials of the Latrobe
ball club are trying to secure Pitcher Dietz, of
the Our Boys club, to replace Beam who is now
with the Pittsburgs. 1t is not likely. however,
that Deitz will join the Latrobe team and he
and his friends want him tried in thorough
going professional team.
Deitz's record is good one and the members
of the club he is now in deem him the
best pitcher among all the amateurs
in Western Pennsylvania. His manager con-
siders him good enough for the National
League. Last season he pitched some remark
able games against good clubs.

inclined to murderous aggressivepess. He was
said to have struck several parties with his
rifle and deliberately stepped upon the toes of
men while entering stores. So odious did he
become that one night recently he was filed
with buckshot and left dead on a bridge six
miles from Leesburg. His killing was the be-
ginning of the trouble. The editor of the PeO-
pies Friend attacked State Senator E. E. Smart

him of the crime and demanding punishment

WATERFOWL, N Y, May 6.-The Ontario
paper MILL which is located about miles from
this city and is one of the largest mills in north
ern New York. was set ON fire in four different
places at about o'clock this morning. but was
not destroyed, owing to good fire fighting facil-
tiles in the building and the work of the city
fire department. The mill had only recently
been completed at a cost of $500. 900. There is
every reason to believe that the fires were
kindled by James Warden, the night watchman.

the mill last nightwork on full time not having

being burned to the ground. When the fire
was started the watchman went to house near

THE CITY P0ST-0FFICE.
1t is Not Likely to be Removed to the
Pension Building.

Mr. Clarkson, the first assistant postmaster
general, is expected TO return TO the city to-
morrow. 1t is probable that as soon as he
comes there will be a meeting of the commis-
sion appointed TO examine the hall of the PEN
sion building and report upon the advisability
of removing the city post-offce there. The
commission will also report upon any other
location which they may deem suitable for the
purpose. The members of the commission are
Commissioner of Pensions Tanner, Mr.. VIM
drim, the supervising architect OF
the Treasury. Mr. Clarkson and Mr..
Whitfield. the first and second assist
ant postmaster-generals and Mr.. Ross,
the city postmaster. The object OF the POST
master-General in appointing the commission
is to secure in an official form a statement of
the quarters now available in this city for the
city post-office. Their report will no doubt be
transmitted to Congress. The Postmsster-Gen-
eral was authorized by clause in the appro-
gress to remove the city postofice to the ball of
the pension building.
WHY TKE PENSION BUILDING WILL Sor DO.
Arrangements were being made 10 make
this transfer, when active operations were
suspended in order to allow the hall to
be used for the inaugural ball Ii was,
however, pretty well aseertained that the
money appropriated for this purpose would not
be sufficient TO meet the expense Of fitting up
the hall for the use of the post-office. There
has. however. been no official statement OF
that fact Ii is the opinion of those
familiar with the needs of the post
Office that the removal to the Pension building
would be only temporary expeiient, and that
the accommodations there are not OF the char
acter which are desired. 1t is thought that
the commission will not recommend a removal
TO the pension building. but that after q COM
plete investigation of the entire subject they
will prepare a report which will set forth clearly
the needs of the city post-ofice. and the neces-
sity for some immediate action TO relieve the
postal service in this city from the disadvantages
under which it has labored for so many years
by reason of the inadequate and mean building
which it has been compelled TO occupy.

of Luxemburg would prove another obstacle to

dread, yet so confidently predicted. The SYM

Belgium has always been with republicanism
in France and elsewhere. and the article in the
