Jim Brown, Esq, who resides
some distance up the Kanawha, lost
about thirty.five tons of hay last
Thursday by fire. Mr.. Brown had
been burning some straw in the fore
part of the day near the hay, and
when he left supposed it was out.

JoCKo WAS THERE.

The PIttsburgs got their first run in the sec
ond inning when Fields hit for two bags and
scored on Corcorau's single. They tied the
score in the next inning on doubles by Beckley
and Carroll. The fourth was a very busy inn-
ing and the visitors secured quartet of runs
on i've successive singles. In the next inning
Farrar made single and Hallman a double
which, with Robinson's tumble and Beckley's
dropped thrown ball, gave the home team three
runs. Three more singles and sacrifice in the
seventh gave the locals two more runs, and they
added three more to their list in the next inn
ing on Hanlon's muff, a force hit and Farrar's
double. This lead was too mach for the Pitts
burgs and the best they could do was to tally
once in the last inning on Visners slashing
double and Fields single. The score:
