tried before Esquire Starkey on the
charged of extreme cruelty to a pupil, a
boy eight years of age. AS Mr.. Wallace
is man Of some prominence in the com

considerable excitement and no little
feeling displayed at the trial. The evil

game of ball was played on the Flushing

umpires, was seen to disappear for few
minutes. What was done or what was
drank during his few minutes absence is
not known, but it is known that upon his
return he commenced a series of unin-
territorial and vital mistakes which num-
bered eight; all favored New Athens, and
changed the score from to in favor of
Flushing at end of fifth inning to II to II
in favor of New Athens at end of ninth
1t was reported here after the game that
the umpire had money on the game to the
effect that New Athens would win by
three scores. This was substantiated by
fact that this umpire, after Athens had
scored the winning run, with but one
man out, insisted that the inning be com
pleted The large crowd that witnessed
the game testified by their demonstrations
the appreciation of the good fielding
good batting and gentlemanly conduct OF
the home club.
