EASTERN LEAGUE.
Troy, 13; Providence, 10.

The Providence nine completed its first
series of home games yesterday afternoon
in the final set-to with the hustling Tro-
jams, and their free batting and deter
mined struggle for the victory entitled
them to complimentary criticism. They
seemed TO have taken on new lease of
life, and 10 have regained confidence in
their ability to play in the professional
class. The game was intensely interest
ing from the start. Providence took
kindly to "Pony" Donovan's delivery in
the first inning, seven men taking up the
bat and four scoring on three singles, two
bases on called balls and passed ball. In
the second for Troy, Breckinridge piloted
the ball over the left field fence,
Johnson followed with a rousing
three bagger, Phillips contributed
single and Donovan's doubet
and Shelters single tied the score, aided
by costly wild throw by Sullivan to
Breckinridge and johnson, costly muff
by Lyons and Leo Smiths surprising
home run drive over the left-feld fence
piled up three runs.
Then the Grays proceeded to cover
themselves with glory in the fourth in
ming. Stricker opened the ball by trotting
to first on called balls, sprinted to second
on Murre = single, cleverly stole
third Will, M rray seized upon the second
bag and 70 sed the plate on Muir
phys wild ..row 10 Pickett which ad-
vanced Murray to third McCauley batted
out single and Murray trotted home.
He stole second, ran 10 third on Sullivans
baser and gained the plate by upsetting
Murphy on Phfilips's return of Cooney's
grounder. Cooney sprinted to first, stole
secopd and scored on Lyons's single. He
purloined the second bag, took possession
of third on Bassetts single drive
and scored on Rogers's putout at
second by Scheffier to Pickett,
Baby having been given first on
called balls. Stricken took first
a second time on called balls, advancing
Murray's fly to Jobnson-six runs and II
men at the bat. In the succeeding in
nings only four OF the Providences reached
first on called balls, two singles and a
doublet. Murray was caught mapping in
the eighth inning at second which he had
made on a single and steal and was run
out on the line by Smith and Pickett,
Donovan also assisting.
Troy took the lead in the sixth inning.
Smith opened With asingle, gained second
on Donovan's duplicate and shelter filled
the bases on called balls. Simon drove
wicked liner at Stricken who made a
phenomenal catch, and by sharp fielding
TO Rogers could have caught Shelter and
retired the side. Pickett followed with a
clean drive for two bases which cleared the
bases. Breckenridge smashed long fly
close to the fence at left center field, which
Murray made desperate effort to capture
but dropped the ball and Pickett scored.
Breckinridge was third hand out on
force out at second by Smith to Pickett
on Johnson's grounder. The Trojans put
a cinch on the game in the eighth inning.
Shelter took first on called balls, Simon
sent a sky-scraper into the left field corner
which Murray failed TO capture, thereby
advancing Shelter to third. and he scored
on Pickett's retirement by Conroy to
Rogers, Simon taking third on the putt

A Remarkable Instrument.

What is pronounced to be the most
remarkable instrument on record in
the United States was filed with the
register Of Mecklenburg county. North
Carolina, at Charlotte in July, 1881. 1t
was nothing more nor less than q
mortgage deed in which one Charles
Didenover, an intelligent but impecu-
NOUS man, conveyed himself land all
right and title to himself to another,
"to have and hold forever, providing
always" to secure a debt he owed the
MORTGAGE. The instrument was duly
witnessed, " signed, sealed and de-
livered," and put on record by the
register of said Mecklenburg county.
Didenover was q married man, and.
according to the laws of the Turpen-
tine State, before he could deliver
real property his wife had to join him
in signing the instrument and acknow-
ledge the same before a notary public
or other magistrate. This she did
waving " all right, title and claim to
said husband to MORTGAGE"

Terrific

The National Bulletin extra contains
a special from Crescent Mills, Plumas
county, CAL, giving a report Of a ter
rife explosion which occurred in that
village at 8 O'Clock A.. NJ. on the 3rd
instant. The powder house OF the
Crescent mine containing 800 pounds
Of dynamite blew up, no person had
been in the house for a week and the
cause OF the explosion is unknown.
The whole valley was shaken and the
farmers focked into town believing
everybody had been killed. Only two
persons, Mrs. Uren and Mrs. McRonie,
were seriously injured. Five buildings
were wrecked beyond repair and nearly
every house in town vas damaged.
There is not q whole window or sash
left. An oak tree twelve inches in
diameter was blown through the end
OF the school house.

cit may surprise you" said an old
hotel clerk, "but we a. tell q man
not used 10 stopping at hotels at the
first glance. His unfamiliarity with
the way to register, with the way to
ask for his letters, kilograms OF how to
give up his key to his room, gives him
away Immediately. Now, to-day q
middle aged man who is stopping at
this hotel came up to me and asked
me II I would keep the key to his
room for a little while. That was the
one sure way Of telling that he had
probably not been in half a dozen
hotels in his life. Then we can always
tell the minute . man comes up TO ask
for his mail whether he is a hotel liver
or not. The commercial traveller, be-
fore his name is written down in the
register, will ask to see the letters in
the box bearing his initial. He will
grab up the kilograms and pore over
them as il he were going to catch q
train that left in 10 minutes. Then he
will take his armful Of umbrellas and
canes and throw them at the bellboy
and tell him to take them TO his room.
The man unacquainted with hotel
life will be exactly the opposite. He
is usually as bashful as a schoolgirl
with stage fright. He doesn't know
how TO do anything" Buffalo News.

The feat Of counting 1000 silver dol
lars per minute is now being performed
at the mint. says the Philadelphia
Record, by q little machine invented by
Sebastian Heines, the chief carpenter
OF the institution, and by its aid the
work of counting the coin and weigh
ing the silver bars can, il is thought,
be completed by the middle Of next
month. The slow progress made in
counting by hand led Mr.. Heines to
experiment, with the result, after the
expenditure of much thought and
time, Of turning out a very successful
machine.
Mr.. Morgan, Of Mint Director Pres
toms Office, was greatly interested in
the experiments and. upon witnessing
the final successful test of the inven-
ton, he granted permission for its use
in counting the great mass Of silver
dollars. The machine was put into
regular operation recently, and when
worked to its limit was easily able TO
dispose Of two bags Of coins containing
5000 in q minute.
The machine consists Of q hopper,
into which the coins are dropped. A
cogwheel, the teeth Of which resemble
those Of a circular saw, carries the
coin to the tubes, and from there they
are forced out upon a little table, on
tanning twenty grooves, each of which
holds just fifty coins. A turn of the
crank counts 1000 coins which are
