In running in on hunted balls and

without a superior in his position. His
ability to make the play so well seems to
be in the fact that he picks the bail up

Nearly all third basemen are obliged to
steady themselves after grasping the ball
before throwing it.

BosTON,s BIG FIRE.

1t Was Confined in a Peculiar
shaped Structure - There Were
Many Employees In the Building
But They ALI Escaped In safety.
BOSTON, Dec. 22-Not since the Ames
building fire on Lincoln street last March
has Boston been visited by such confa-
grafton as that which occurred late this
afternoon at the North End. This FIRE was
confined to the large six-story brick build
Ing fronting on Friend, Canal and Trsvers
streets, owned by the Wakefield Rattan
company, and occupied by the Boston
Chair Manufacturing company. II. w.
Cain & Sons, furniture; g. W. Bent &
Co., dealers in cushions, bedding, etc.;
John N. Woods & Co., lumber dealers,
and the Standard Wire Mattress company.
The building In which the fire was con-
fined is peculiar shaped structure, hav
ing frontage of perhaps forty feet on
Friend street and 100 feet on Canal street.
The building has 9 sort of leg shaped 81"
which runs out on Travsrs street and en-
braces the space between the corners Of
Friend and Canal streets, having width
of perhaps eighty feet.
The loss to the building and stock of
the firms will be great, however, probably
nearly $500, 900.
When the fire started there were about
400 employees in the whole building and
they made their escape as quietly a. posi
BILE There were nearly forty people at
work in the Bent portion of the building,
where the fire started, and thirteen of
these were girls. They were thoroughly
frightened when they realised the danger
they were in and made their escape, many
not stopping to think of their hats or
cloaks. They ran down the stairs, but
many of the men in the place used the fire
escape and reached tho streets in that
manner.
1t is almost impossible to approximate
the individual losses. IS the members of
the various firms could not be found.

SALE OF TOBACCO.

The Growers Got Seven Cents Less
This Year Than the Prices OF n
Year Ago.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 22.-Since
the national election of 1892 net ten crops
of tobacco have been sold In the Connec-
ticut valley north of Mount Holyoke range
until to day. In former years the current
years crop has been one-third to three
fourths sold at this time, but this year In
Hampshire county only two of the current
years crops of tobacco have been sold and
three in Hsdley.
To-day Philadelphia party has bought
eight crops of 1892 at prices ranging from
fourteen to eighteen cents pound, or
about seven cents less than the prices of
fourteen months ago. There is also loss
to farmers of 200 pounds to the ton by
evaporation, ins arsnce and boxing. Farm
ers still hold all the 1898 and one-tbird of
the 1892 crops, but even this small sale
revives hope.

Rio DE JANERIo, Dec. 22.-Whils part
of the insergent fleet was proceeding along
the coast to the state of Rio de Janerio o
few days ago three officers deserted their
ships. They have been arrested by the
government and have given considerable
information concerning the condition of
insurgent forces. Admiral de CANA, who
now commands the feet in this hsrbor, has
done great harm to the insurgent cause,
they cay, by his open advocacy of the re-
storation of the empire. The insurgent
forces were demorslizsd by his manifesto
in favor of the monarchy. and many men
of the insurgent feet lost all sympathy
with the cause.

MRS. MAVERICKS CASE.
Alleged Discovery of a Sea-CaptaiI
with important Testimony

Alleged Discovery of q sea-Captain
with Important Testimony.
LONDON, DEC. 22-The solicitor of
Baroness Roques said to-day that fresh
evidence had been discovered In favor of
Mrs. Maybrick, now undergoing life i'm
prisonment for the murder of her husband,
and that the Rt. Hon. Henry Asquith,
secretary of state for home affairs, was be-
ing urged to open an Independent inquiry
into the case. The new evidence is alleged
to come from the captain of Halifax, n.
g., ship who has been away at sea and who
is only now able to give his testimony.
This captain was friend of Mr.. Msybrick,
and ia reported to have often seen Mr..
Maybrick put q white powder into the
food which he was cooking on an oil stove
at his Office in Halifax. The captain
thought that the white powder was some
peculiar kind OF pepper and questioned
Mr.. Maybrick about it; but the latter said
that it was arsenic, and to the captains
exclamation of establishment, answered:
"You must have something to keep your
