"What did he say?' asked mamma.

an idea occurred to him: he drew sigh

his hands thrust far down into his

that would impress his audience with
the vast importance of his claim:

tone of pity, though she laughed.

DISORDERLY HORSES,

Team of J. ID. DeWen & Co.'s Runs
 Away and COlltdes With Two Other
 Teams-Smashes Into a Telegraph
 Pole.
 The delivery team of J. D. Dewell & Go. ran away last evening about 6 o'clock, be- ginning it's mad course in front of Adams grocery store on State street, corner of Court. The horses turned up Court street and when nearly in front of the telephone office came in collision with telephone pole, one horse going one side and the other taking the opposite side. This brought them to standstill and they were soon caught, with some damage done to the horses and a few scratches only to the wagon. Just before thoy ran into the pole they collided with team from Clinton vile, smashing that wagon pretty ehectu- ally and starting the horse on mad run down Orange street, where he was caught after going some distance. The team also struck a carriage, dishing the wheels. A team just ahead of the runaway team had a narrow escape. Its driver, seeing the truck coming, whipped his horse and turned into Orange street just in the nick of time to escape.

Notes From tho Diamond


 Umpire Connolly is one of the best in the business.
 Farrar's work at first base has never been equaled in this city.
 Albany plays here again this and to- morrow afternoons.
 Wilson is hitting the ball for keeps in every game in which he plays.
 Kennedy of the Albanys is said to be the only first baseman in the country who plays the bag without wearing gloves.
 Charley Brady was heartily applauded and immediately responded by fouling out to Wilson.
 Connie Doyle is suffering from very sore hand and in addition is still having trouble with his ankle, which was sprained while on the last trip.
 Catcher Quinn of the Syracuse Stars has brought libel suit against the Pittsburg Dispatch. Last week that paper implicated Quinn in a murder that was committed at a picnic near Pittsburg, stating that "Tom- my" Quinn, who caught for last years Brotherhood team, was locked up at the station house with several others.
 Joseph Battin, the umpire of the Eastern league who has been officiating in this city for the past few days, was yesterday given his release, he receiving telegram to that effect from President White of the league. No reasons were given him for the action, but it is thought to be due to the complaint which had been sent in against him from the managers of the various clubs, arising out of the dissatisfaction which is known to exist owing to his poor judgment.
