to be congratulated, for all present were
afflicted with that tired feeling long be-
fore the ninth inning was reached. Muir

Steans had not returned, and the team was
therefore patched up. 1t was evident that
the Boston Athletic association was not
represented by a particularly strong nine.

an easy time. Costly errors. lucky hit.

cracks for which he is famous. II was a

seen on the grounds. The Bratteboros raj
lied in the ninth to the extent of four hits
and two scores, but the lead was too great
to be overcome. Bates. Harvard's leading
twirler, was touched up for Is hits. while
the Athletics secured only four OFF Cross

A SERIOUS AFFAIR
In Which the Notorious Negro Willard
Brothers are the Offenders.

ON Tuesday evening of last week, while
Mrs. Oscar Cook and her daughter Edith
were returning to their home at Kings sta

tackled at lonely place by two negroes who
were driving in the direction of South
Glens Falls. The negroes, both of whom
were drunk, jumped from their carriage
and one grasped Mrs. Cook by the throat
while the other assaulted the daughter
The screams of the women aroused several
people nearby and the negroes took fright
and drove away. When Mr.. Cook. the
father and husband, learned of the assault,
he started in pursuit of the negroes. accom-

complained of feeling i'll, and suddenly fell
from the wagon. He was taken home.
where he died I'm few minutes. Mr.. Cook
was subject to heart trouble, and the ex-
element caused his sudden death. Thurs
day the negroes were arrested at Sandy

formerly lived i'm BrattlebOro on the camp

be recalled. Last winter they were ar

WISH TO RETURN.

This extract from a letter from man
now resident of California, recently receiv-
ed by f. j. Bailey e. Co., shows how the
leaven is working all over the country for
the restoration of Vermont to her rightful
rank as an agricultural state:
II am informed that the commissioner
of agriculture for the state of New Hamp-
shire has published a pamphlet of the
abandoned farms in that state to the num-
Der of between 300 and 400, and l have
heard that one of the same purport has
been issued for Vermont, and would like to
see it. l will only add that there are a
great number of Eastern people here who
have met with disappointment in this
much-bOasted state and are discussing the
matter of returning and looking up cheap
farms which can be got at prices within
their reduced means"

The BrattlebOros, with Stearns and Muir
ply still absent, took the second game this
season from the Westfields, at Westfeld,
Mass, on Wednesday. The bad condition
of the grounds accounts for the fat error
column. The Westtields were strengthen
ed by Mahaney, late of northampton, and
Farrell and Ellsworth of that club The
game was characterized throughout by
heavy hitting and loose fielding. Cain hit the
ball as if he had grudge against it, his

A BRArTLEBoRo BOY BY PROXY.
From the New York Times.I

A number of newspapers in the western
part of the state are proceeding to oppose
Milo NJ. Ackers candidacy for senator in
the twenty-seventh district, because two
years ago he made an attack on the press
in the course of a speech against an I'M
popular anti-libel bill. The state sends to
the legislature but few representative up
and down honest men, and newspapers
should hesitate long time before con
demning one who has made an honest
record, for no other reason than that he
has had the courage of his convictions and
told the truth as he saw it, even if it were
at the expense of the press. Opposition
of this kind ought to rivet Acker's popular
ity with his constituents.

A Few Timely Words About the Magnatea
of the Association.

A Few Timely Words About the Magnates
of the Association.
The combine now in command in the
American Association are pursuing tactics
that will send the whole outfit to the rocks
if persisted in, writes E. X. Rife from
Columbus standpoint, and he goes on to say:
'At the present time when long war with
the National League is sure to prevail,
these rattle-headed magnates instead OF
strengthening the lines of the Association
and keeping its members in good humor, so
as to present bold front to their enemy,
are doing just the opposite, and sowing dis
sension and discord in the ranks that is GER
tain to bring forth bitter fruit ere long.
Did anybody ever hear of the League
giving their clubs the cold shoulder so long
as they fulfilled all their obligations? Their
policy was to strengthen the smaller cities
instead of tearing them down, to breed har-
mony ard contentment instead of the oppo-
site. With bitter war just ahead the
American Association is widely divided and
to that extent weakened for the battle. Yet
it was not always thus. But little while
ago these smaller places on the circuit were
begged to stay in line and furnish thousands
of good dollars for,the war Jesse james
was a saint by the side of some of these
alleged. .magnates.
