Ben Murphy, esq, the heavy man of
the Baxter ball team Tuesday (bor-
rowed from Melrose), says the whole
cause Of the Baxter boys getting rat
tied was on account of Galena's left
handed batters and pitcher. He
claims TO have played with cross eyed
and near sighted teams and won VIC
tories from nearly all kinds Of mis-.
constructed men, but how to success
fully compete with left handed nine,
with few knock knees and club feet
thrown in, is beyond Ben's compre-
hension. He thinks the Galena boys

Photographs Of growing plants show
some marvellous results, especially
among the climbers. The young stems
are said To move in succession of ir-
regular circular or elliptical curves,
which vary in every direction. These
movements are due to the irregular

Jersey Central ferry and he was driven

said, has decided TO go into training
upon the advice of Gov. Flower. The
latter took boxing lessons himself last
spring, and as a result, he says that he
has not felt so well and strong for five
years. Mr.. Cleveland's physician, DR..
Joseph ID. Bryant, laughed when he
was asked if it was true that Mr..
Cleveland would take to boxing 10
reduce his flesh. DIR. Bryant, would not
say whether Mr.. Cleveland had been adj
vised by him TO take such course of
training.

Comley lived alone. She had evidently
fought desperately with her slayer for

broken. There were blood stains in
the sitting-room and other apart

Money was evidently the incentive
of the crime. Miss Comley was well
advanced in years and possessed con-
siderable property. She was the sole
survivor of family that ranked very
highly in the county. The murderer
had no difficulty in escaping as the
crime was committed after night and
it was very dark.

ment to tho President.
Secretary of War Ell1ins in his
annual report recommends the re-
organization of the infantry and the
artillery and the revival of the grade
of acknowledgement. The personnel
of the army, he thinks, is improving.
The troops are stationed in 96 posts, of
which three are in Michigan and 80
east of the Mississippi river. The
abandonment OF small posts and the
concentration of troops near large COM
mercial centers the secretary regards
as advisable.
An appropriation of at least
81 900, coo for the National Guard is
recommended. 1t is also recommended
that the present law be SO changed
that arms and supplies which have be-
come unserviceable in the hands of the
militia may be sold and the proceeds of
the sale be used for furnishing new
supplies instead of being converted
into the treasury. The Indian soldiers
are highly complimented. New sur
veys of the great lakes he most
strongly favors. Ffty-threc patterns
Of rifles for the regular service were
tested during the year and the one
selected, 3O-caliber magazine, is be-
ing manufactured. The expense of
maintaining the army for the last fiscal
year was $5l ,2l8, 970.59. There are now
under contract buildings at Fort
Brady, Mich, which viii cost about
$4,000.
