IN our last issue we stated that it was
a settled fact that the Milford club could
not play ball away from home After
the game at Houston on Saturday last
with FELTON,, which was the third of the
series and to be the deciding game, we
will modify our statement of last week by
saying, except when they have good
level head, and they had it last week in
Burress and Smith, who we're the local
battery. Both clubs put up good game,
and it was exceedingly interesting until
the end of the eighth inning when the
score stood & to d in favor of FELTON, It
looked like another defeat for the home
club, but they put on their batting clothes
and took up the stick in the ninth to
win, and win they did. Russell went to
bat and flied out to short stop; Burress
followed with a single, stole second and
scored on Smiths two base hit to left
field. This is where the dispute that
ended the game and resulted in it being
awarded to Milford, by a score of 9 to o,
arose. Smiths two base hit was fielded
home, it went into the crowd and was
picked up by a spectator thus max
ing it a block ball. Smith seeing
this took advantage Of it, and
started for third base; Kersey in the
meantime had secured the ball and before
taking his place in the box, as he should
have done, sent the ball to third and
Smith. OF course the umpire
decided safe and the FELTON, kicked. If
the pitcher had taken his place III the
box before sending the ball to third
Smith world have been out but otherwise
he was safe. The score stood S to 5,when
the FELTON, threw up the game, with one
man on third and one out. FELTON,, how
ever, had another time at bat and might
have won the game but they did not feel
disposed to continue, as they thought
they had been imposed upon, while on
Tie other hand the decision was a just
one and perfectly fair The score by
innings to the beginning Of the ninth is

extra Jersey City freight, probably saved
what might have been a very bad smash
up As the extra was coming in from
Harrington at high rate of speed the
engineer i'll charge noticed that the bridge
swagged and almost gave way as soon as
his train struck the spot The place was
at ouce reported and upon examination
was found to be in very dangerous con-
dition, the abutments Of the bridge being
entirely rotted away. The iegular after
noon north bound freight was at the sta
ton here waiting for the extra to pass
that she could continue the run 1t IS
believed by the railroad men that if the
heavy freight had started from here she
must have gone down with a crash at the
place, as the grade is steep at this point
and the rate of speed usually attained at
that distance from the depot would not
be sufficient to run over safely. The
wrecking train at Georgetown was at
once telegraphed for and the delayed
trains were allowed 20 pass over about
s o'clock. The trains that were delayed
were the north bound afternoon freight.

A Strange, Weird Tale.

NORTH LYME, Aug. 25.-While fishing in Hog pond to-day, Joshua Halford caught pickerel that weighed nearly six pounds, and when he cut open the stom- ach he found a gold watch and chain. Upon the inside of the back case of the watch was engraved the name of Charles Whaley.
 The discovery of the watch clears up 8 mystery that has puzzled the people in this vicinity for two years.
 Charles Whaley, two years ago, was a prosperous farmer and stock dealer living in splendid house half mile back from from Hog pond. Since the morning of July 3, 1889, when he left home, after tell ing his foreman he was going to Hartford, ali trace of him has been lost. It is now thought that he shielded by throwing him. self into Hog pond in moment of aber- ration. The discovery has created great excitement among the country folks and the pond will be dragged in the hope of recovering the bones of the missing man.
