Tho latter half Of August, 1895, will be
known as a period marked by some nota-
bio events on tho baseball field 1t pro-
duced the most remarkable and best con-
tested game of the National league cham
pionship rnce for 1895. When the Balti-
moro and Boston teams finished that / I to
TO-, 10 inning, gamo they put on record tho
prize contest OF tho yc0r. It was n particu-
.larly remarkable struggle, from tho fact
that tho score stood 10 to 10 ct tho end OF
the ninth inning, but In the next six in
nings only ono moro run crossed tho plato
Yet tho Same pitchers wero used in the six
extra innings who off1ciated in tho ninth,
when four runs were mado by tho two
sides.
The pitcher who checked tho Bostons'
advance and finally held them mt stand
still till his team won out was John Clark
sons brother Arthur, who was not good
enough for Won der Ahcs st. Louis club
last spring. His work for ST. Louis was
weak and ineffective, but in Baltimore no

much better support from tho team with

Bath ships have earned world wide fame.
Some of the enterprising young men here
hope that Bath shoes may yet be a credit to
the place. Bath people wear good shoes
now. They hope to make them. too. Some
time ago number of the younger business
men here conceived the idea of helping The
town. and consequently their own business
by starting new enterprise. They found
in Mr.. John Fitzgerald practical maker of
shoes, who had successfully run number
OF factories, ana who Was willing to come
to Bath and join in the new enterprise
here. The business men raised committee
consisting of A. Ii. Shaw. Davis Hatch,
George h. Thompson, Harry Ste:son, Fritz
II Twitchell. Frank Percy, Charles Clark
ana bra1nard Drake, and the committee
started out to raise the necessary capital to
go into the shoe business. Ten thousand
dollars was considered sufficient and the
committee got more than this sum, in sub
scriptions ranging from $500 down to $50.
The bulk of the money was subscribed by
men In moderate circumstances who took
hold with an idea of benefitting the town.
This is not scheme to put up a big build
ing where concern from somewhere else
can do business as long as they are ex-
empted from taxation. A stoo company is
to be formed, and it is hoped and believed
by the promoters that it will be able to do
good business. The beginnings will be
small, employment being given at first to
but twenty-five or thirty people, but if the
wares find favor of course this number will
be increased.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is now at work getting out
bis samples for the fall trade. A building
will be secured here and the necessary
machinery purchased to begin manufactur-
ing very soon.

law, but he refused to do so, stating
that if another law was passed, the
courts would declare it unconstitutional.
Senator Iillman declared, notwithstand-
ing his bitter attack upon Judge Gof,
that the condition which the Iatter's
decision left politics, was the very best
for the party and advocated white
primary to nominate delegates to the
convention. saying that If the conserva-
tive Democrats his white opponents
would not come into it, but madel a
fight in the general election there
would be a sanguinary campaign. He
said if Judge Gof went any further in
the matter, he, for one, would advocate
open rebellion.
This was not intended for pu blication,
and was not sgiven out by ths commit
tee, but reporters overheard it. A gene
