In Well-Played Game.
SAN JOSE (Cal.), August 2.-The game
to-day between the Oakland and San Jose
clubs was well-played game. The home
aggregation won by being able to bunch
their nits, earning five of their seven
runs. Baltz and tookabaugh were the
opposing pitchers and both put up ex-
cellent ball. Sharp's hitting was one of
the features. He smashed clean hits out
every time at the bat, and was cheered to
the echo, Ebright played brilliant
game and hit the ball often and hard.
The game nearly broke up in row.
Cantillion fouled about fifteen balls. most
OF which were over the plate, and was
ordered to discontinue by Sheridan. He
would not, and Sheridan called him ont
on strikes: There was lot of kicking.

A LONG-LQST SON.
How His Aged Parents Learned of
His Death.
Killed in Sacramento, the News
Thereof is Read in Far-away
Massachusetts Town.

The publication in the RECORD UNION
of the shooting, by Thomas Morrisey OF
Freeport on June 29th, of Fred. Kings
bury and man named Hall, who had
been arrested for stealing and were try
ing to make their escape, will probably
be the means of restoring to his parents
the body of Kingsbury, who died OF his
wound.
When told that he must die, the
wounded man said his name was Fred
ericF w. Kingsbury, that he was 42 years
old and was born at Dedham, Mass.
In due time the RECoRD-UNIoN was
read in Dedham, and the report of the
shooting caught the eye of gentleman
who knew there were people about there
of that name, SO he caused the item to be
published both in Boston and Dedham.
In letter to this office he says:
''Noticing in the columns OF your paper
an account of the shooting of one Fred.
Kingsbury, who claimed to be from here,
/ had 1t published in the Boston Globe
and the Dedham paper. I inclose letter
received from a gentleman il Needham,
the adjoining town, in which he says
DEAR SIR: ! see by last nights paper that
you had a paper from Sacramento Cal, con-
tanning an account OF u man by the name OF
fired Kmgsbury being shot. Now, l have Il
brother Of that name; have not heard from
him tor many years, and thought 1t might
be him that was shot. Please let me know
whefe can see you and viii talk with you,

Fred left here some fourteen years ago.
About thirteen years since they had q
Iokf /,
a check payable to his order for that
amount was sent, and came back with
his Endorsement, showing that he got the
money, but not word came from him
then or since. Kingsbury gives the fol-
lowing description OF him:
"a bout five feet nine inches in hight,
weight, about $50 pounds; lightish- brown
hair, gray eyes; light complexion; rather
sharp features; slightly round-shOuldered
or STOPPING. He would be about 10 years
old now. Up to the time he lett here he
was man OF the best of habits and q
hard worker at all kinds of jobs. He
saved his money, and has a few dollars
20 his credit in q savings bank here now.
III this answers to the description OF
the dead man his people would like to
know, also if he left any family or effects.
His aged mother and father are very
anxious to hear, so ii you will make the
necessary inquiries you will confer a
favor upon them"
ANSWERS THE DESCRIPTION.
A RECORD UNION reporter yesterday
interviewed Coroner Clark on the sub
ject, and learned that the description
given of the missing Dedham man
answers well that of the Fred w. Kings
bury who was killed. The chief dis
crepancy is in the matter of weight. as
he was quite heshy and weighed 100
pounds or more. Both the Coroner and
the officers at the Jail, where Kingsbury
died, say he was sstoop-shouldered.
There can be very little doubt that the
deceased is the brother of the Massa-
chusetts Kingsbury. He was not known
hereabouts.

LESSONS OF THE FOURTH.
A Duty Which the Rising Generation
Owes to the Revolutionary Heroes.

A Duty Which the Rising Generation
Owes to the Revolutionary Heroes.
While exploding their f1recrackers
and admiring the display of fireworks,
the boys and girls of America must not
forget the noble lesson taught by the
Fourth of July. It commentaries the
birth of American independence and
was made a national holiday to impress
on the minds of coming generations the
valor and disinterested patriotism OF
the revolutionary heroes who fought,
suffered and died to bequeath to
their children and children's chill
dren the precious boon of liberty.
Had the patriotic fathers of our
country failed to adopt the declara-
ton of independence on that famous
Fourth of July, 1776, what is now the
United States would in all probability
still be an English colony with the linn
tied rights grudgingly granted to the
Australian colonies and to Canada.
Every political blessing we enjoy to-day
and there is no nation in the world
which enjoys as many-is the result
of the 1abors of the patriot leaders,
many of whose names even have been
forgotten by the men and women of our
generation.
Fortunately, the American people are
beginning to realize that for many years
Fourth of July patriotism has not been
of the type which made the revolution
ary war a success. In almost every
public school the pupils have for several
years past been taught to celebrate the
day in becoming manner and to re-
turn thanks for the noble work wrought
by their great-grandfathers and perpet-
uated by their grandfathers and fathers.
Liberty without intelligence degene-
rates into license, and license leads to
anarchy. Children old enough to un-
derstand the meaning of these terms
! should band themselves together every
, where to spread the doctrine of pure
liberty, sanctioned by law and blessed
by Providence. In no other way should
the youth of America celebrate the
Fourth of July and honor the memory
of immortal Washington and his faith
full advisers, followers and friends.
And if this spirit of re animates the
boys and girls the explosion of fire
crackers and kindred noise-producing
trihes will readily be forgiven and sane
toned by their fathers and mothers.

Manhattan Island Perhaps that may
account for it.
Yes, I rejoiced that it was over, but
still l was not entirely happy, for an
eleven-inch f1recracker had exploded on
the rim of my ear, and became an eye
sore to my friends. When we conversed
they had to do most of it, for I was kept
busy holding my hand to the side of my
head, and repeating such questions as
''Hey?" What do you say?" feel per-
fectly sure that / missed several invita-
tions to stake something owing to my
temporary deafness. For awhile was
very deaf, indeed, but l have recovered
my hearing, and now it is no longer safe

Still have my doubts about the peo-
pie Of the north being more patriotic
than those of the south. Recently, sta
tistics have been published which show
that more people have had their arms
and fingers blown off in the south than
in the north, which also goes to prove
that the feeling against the British is
more intense in the south than has gen.
orally been supposed.
Judging perhaps by the noise made
on the Fourth of July the thoughtless
observer might conclude that the south
was really less patriotic than the north;
but it should be taken into considera-
ton that in Gotham frecrackers are
only three cents pack, and pin wheels
cost only a cent apiece, whereas in
southern cities they are much more ex-
pensive. Even the poorest classes of
New York can afford to express their
detestation of George III. and his min
ions at comparatively trifiing ex-
| pense.
The high price of explosives in the
south is the real cause of the people of
New Orleans, for instance, seeming to
be comparatively Indifferent as to which
side whipped in the great revolutionary
struggle. In New York, where cannon
crackers are almost given away, the
enthusiasm is SO pronounced that rev.
elers begin to make the welllin ring,
and to get tight, on the night of the
third of July.
So thorough is the detestation of Eng
lish tyranny in New York, that even as
early as the afternoon of the third |
have seen the police wiping up the side
walks with well-dressed inebriates. In
the drug stores boys get their fingers

The deacon chuclzled again. But he
should have remembered his own
favorite saying: that it is not well to
count your chickens before they are
Matched. .....
Four hours later Lieut.. Dick Vain,
wright in a two-seated vehicle drawn
by a span of prancing horses drove to
the Hepburn homestead, where he
found the blushing Amanda and her
mother waiting for him. The deacon
was not the only one who had done
some planning. His wife and daughter
had not suspected that he would sneak
off before daylight, but they were well
aware that lie did not wish them to ac-
company him to HezelziahVille, and
had resolved neither to ask him to take
them to the village nor to accept any
surly invitation that he might extend
to them. Amanda had quietly seen her
lover and arranged that he should call
for her and her mother at an hour after
which she was certain her father would
be gone.
Lieut.. Wainwright left the women at
the home Of Joshua Whipple, a cousin
of Mr.. Hepburn, who lived in the viii
lage. After hitchipg his horses he
walked to the tavern, a large, rambling
structure, situated In the middle of half
an acre Of level ground that was
adorned with great shade trees. Among
| the group Of soldiers who stood near the
trees was Ezekiel Hepburn. He recog-
nized Wainwright with cool nod, and
as he turned away there was in his face
sarcastic leer, the meaning of which
was not, as he confidently supposed
hidden from the young man. The lover
smiled, too, but his smile was as merry
as it was mischievous.

as the second of July. Two years ago,
saw an elderly gentleman fall out of
second-story window while firing off
Roman candle, and it was not later
than eight o'clock of the evening before
the Fourth.
But to return to my experiences on
the first great national holiday spent in
New York. At an early hour bounded
slowly and reluctantly from my couch,

arena on the ground floor. My inten-

but owing to the constant detonations
I was unable to finish it.

again, but never shed a tear, not even
