A Lewiston Disappearance.

Lewiston, July 19-The authorities
are thoroughly alarmed about the disap-
pearanee of an inmate of the Lewiston
city farm, Miss Lizzie Downing, Mrs.
Downing, her mother. who lives in the
city and is not pauper, called at the
farm yesterday and asked Superintendent
John O'Rourke if she could take her
daughter out berrying. He told her ''yes''
and they went off. Mrs. Downing says
that they picked berries and that when
they were through she did not think it
worth while to go clear back to the farm
with her daughter, but told her to go
alone, and watched her out of sight. She
did not arrive at the farm. Supt.
O'Rourke Thought it strange that the
girl did not arrivesbut concluded that she
had gone home with her mother. Today
she came up to make sure. The mother
was alarmed, of course, and search was
instituted. Supt. O'Rourke accompanied
the party and they led him over the very
ground where he searched for her last
night The mother found the tracks
where the girl walked when she passed
out of her sight, butsthey only. led little

How well this worked the sequel will
show. In the first heat they travelled
fast toathe half, with Barney in the lead.
Here Curry broke and fell back, to be
joined shortly by Henry F. Sterling left
to fight it out with Barney, but try as
he would he could not out pace him and
Barney finished. an open length to the
good in 2. 10. The second heat was m est
exciting. The horses were well punched
at the half. Here the strain was too much
for Barney and he made a. break, no
a bad one for him, but sufficient to
unnerve him. Gil Curry nosed out. Bar
ney at the three-quarters and beat him
home, Barney, in most peoples Judgment,
showing the white feather. Be that as
it may, CURRY never paced better
heat in his care er on the turf and had to
travel in 400 10 to do the tr lex. What
makes his performance all the more re-
markable is the fact that he paced large
a large part of the mile with one shoe
off.
The third heat was the most sensa-
tionalsof the race. Curry and Barney had
it nip and tuck most of the way, getting
in break apiece, and were on even
terms when they turned into the stretch.
In the excitement most people had
neglected to watch Jubilee Wilkes and

A Lewiston Tough Attempted to Stab an
Officer,

Lewiston, July 19.-At half past ons
o'clock Friday morning, Policeman
Whelpley of Lewiston found an intoxi

ploye who has not lived in Lewiston long,
| in the alley back of Callahan's block.
When the man saw the officer he started
to run, but was soon overtaken by the
officer and led to the station. He was not
very drunk and knew what he was doing,
but asked to be taken home instead of
arrested. As the officer knew that he had
twice been sent home by other officers
that same night, he thought it best to
take him in.
The man offered no resistance, but
walked at his side to the station and
through the corridor. Unseen by the
officer he drew from his pocket clasp
knife and, as Mr. Whelpley opened the
iron gate to the lookup, stabbed him in
the neck, the blade making cut an inch
long and a quarter of an inch deep in
front OF the large vein on the side OF his
neck
In Withdrawing the knife the collar
was nearly cut in two, which saved his
life, and as the fellow raised the knife to
strike again Mr.. Whelpley struck his hand
with his club, knocking the knife against

watch not having seen that he was badly
cut put him in a cell where he nearly bled
to death, or till he was thoroughly sober.
In the meantime friendly hands had
helped Whelpley to table in the deputy's
room and Dr. Hawkins had been called
and the wound dressed. At this time it
was found that the prisoner was badly
hurt and physician dressed his wound
also and advised sending him to the
hospital. He was taken to the Central
Maine Hospital, and an officer left by his
bed to take care of him and prevent his
escape. AT eleven 0 clock Friday he was
carried to the police station again, and in
the afternoon brought before court,
charged with simple assault and pleaded
guilty. He was bound over under $500
bonds by Judge Cornish and then went
to jail to await the September session of
the S. j. court. Officer Whelpley is not
badly hurt, but is a case of "might have

Norman took more kindly to the soft go

harder surface going away and COM

the encouragement of running horse

truly creditable performance on the part
of the horse and his handler.
The keen rivalry that has been engen-
dered between Norman and Early Bird
the past week was brought to head by
the announcement from the stand that a
party or parties stood ready to back Early
Bird in match race against Norman for
50, 500 side, the race to be trotted either
at Old Orchard or Rigby within the next

with unfayorable weather on Tues
day and Wednesday, everything was
as pleasant as could have been de-
sired, both Thursday and Friday.
The very attractive programme offered
for the last day drew the best attendance
of the week and the spectators had the
satisfaction of witnessing splendid af-
ternoon of sport. The phenomenal 2. 10
trot of Thursday had worthy rival in
the 2.09 pace the fastest four heat race
ever trotted OF paced in New England.
Gil Curry repeated his triumph of last
week over Barney, but was focred to cut
his record to 2.09 1-2 to accomplish the
task.
A feature of the afternoon entertain
ment was Merman's race against time.
Roy Miller, his driver, gave the clean
gated son of McEwen slow mile about
three o'clock.
At four o'clock he came out for fast
mile. After swinging down by the stand
two or three times Mr.. Miller got the big
stallion moving in good shape and nod

Notes of the Game.

The Fall Rivers will be here today. 1t
is Killeens turn to pitch. 1t is possible
that Slater will be able to play, in which
case the question will arise as to which
is the best man for right field, O'Rourke
or Goodhart The former is the best
fielder and base runner, but the latter is
the best hitter.
Pitcher Daniels has been released.
Some pitcher has to go, and after tine
trials of Woods and Yerrick it was de-
cided that Daniels was the man. Manager
Clarity of Lewiston will engage him.
Woods is a handy man. He is good
catcher as we'll as pitcher. Yerrlck IS I'M
doubtedly good pitcher ii yesterday S
work is any indication of what he can do.
A new infelder has been negotiated Tor!
and is expected to join the team soon. 1t
looks as if Spill wasn't expected TO re-
cover sufficiently from that lame side.
In regard to Thursdays game, the
Kennebec Journal says: 1.-The Fall
Rivers played an errorless game, batted
like fiends and could undoubtedly have
beaten us with SIX men,.
Mike Meagher, late of Lewiston, has
signed to play with the Camden club
The New Bedford Mercury says: sit is
time that the New Bedfords stopped their
dirty work. This, together with the pro-
family INDUCED in by the players on the.
field. is slowly but surely killing the
game in this CITY,"
That is advice that Doe had better pay
good heed to.
Butler of the Kennebecs, must have
| felt that the Fates were against him,
Thursday, when the ball struck exactly
on the sore place on his shin, where he
lost some skin sliding bases a few days
before
Bangor is hoping for third place before
these Maine games are over with. Here's
hoping she gets it, if only for the sake Of
the Pine Tree State.
Over in the village the people dom
seem to be attending the game in
sufficient numbers. If that double-jointcd
delivery that gentle Willie is practicine
reaches the requisite stage of perfection
and the villagers still refuse to attend,
then nothing short of special session OF
the legislature will be necessary.
Davis was fined So for kicking, by
The Portland daily press., 1895-07-20

and got on even terms with the leaders.
Then ensued as great finish as has ever
been seen on track. All three drivers
were cutting and slashing with their
whips, while the entire audience rose and
simply howled. Nay never drove bet ter
hundred yards in his life and most people
were astonished when the heat was
awarded to Gil Curry in 2. 10Y. Eight
tenths of those near the wire considered
it Jubilee Wilkes's heat, while the other
tenth, Curry's, partisans of course, sided
with the judges If the heat had been
given to Jubilee Wilkes it would probably
have had no effect on the final result, and
such decision would surely have met
with far greater measure of approba-
ton. Had Jubilee Wilkes been counted
on as an important factor in the race,
and been warm favorite, it is more
than likely that there would have been
some excitement, but most of the interest

the very Threshold of happiness, but they
didn't know it. 1t was Brockton's turn
to lose their grip in the tense struggle.
Shaffer waited for four, stole second in
fine style and then Jack Leighton
brought him home with coEking single.
Korwan tried to catch Jack at first, but
threw wide and Jack reached third before
thu scramble was over with Jack came
in on Stackhouse's tumble of Woods
grounder. Goodhart's two bag ger to
right brought Woods to third, and while
he was tearing for home Korwan. who
had the ball and might have had Woods,
but threw SO wild that Shea couldn't
reach within ten feet of it. Then Ma.
goon's hit brought Goodhart in and we
had four runs and were one ahead, and
were up on the hill tops of delight, having
mounted thither from the slough of de-
spond SO suddenly that it fairly made
our heads swim.
But we didn't stay there long. We were
plunged down again in yery few
minutes. Petit waited for four, Wise
singled, Irwin sacrificed, France singled
and they had two more runs and were
ahead again.
Il But tits better to get out of slough of
despond for only moment, than never
to get out at all, and the audience felt
better than they did before that thrilling
inning
There was no more run getting. Port
land made desperate brace in the first
of the ninth, their last chance. Woods
astonished and delighted everybody by
driving out fine two Dagger for a
starter. Goodhart sent swift liner to
centre field for a single, and Slater, who
was coaching at third grabbed Woods to
prevent him from running home, as he
would surely have been caught, since
France returned the swift liner very
quickly. That was all right since no one
was out, but when Shea threw to catch
Goodhart at second, that was the time he
ought to have started for home. He was
kept on third till Magoon sent a swift
grounder to Hickey and then was nabbed
at the plate. Corbett waited for four
There were three on bases, only one out
chance. Yet we couldn't get that one
score. Terrien, who can't hit a balloon
lately, only knocked pop fly to Stack
house. Yerrick, the new pitcher, started
up to bat. Everything depended on him.
He hadn't shown any ability to bat and
the crowd shouted for KilEeen, who
drives the ball for big hits.
Manager Leonard sent Killeen up, and
he struck at the first three balls that
KOrwan pitched and didn't touch either
of them; and SO we lost the game.
That last inning was hardly excmsable.
To start off with a two Dagger and a
single and a base on balls, and then get
no run was not right That sort of thing
ought not to happen. Somebody ought
to have sacrificed when those three were
on bases and only one was out. The
score:

parent-Thaf Last Inning Was Simply
Lamentabie.
That big, loose-limhed spreadeagle and
dangerous pitcher named Korw an was il
the box for Brockton yesterday anG
Yerrick pitched for Portland before 6
home audience for the first time. Boil
pitchers did good work and kept the hits
down to limited number The game
was like the tense fierce struggle of two
evenly matched 'wrestlers neither gaining
an advantage until the others foot
slipped and he lost his grip for the
moment. Brocktons lost their grip but
once, and in that inning Portland piled
up four scores. Portland lost her grip
twice and defeat was the result. Korwan
began by striking out Shaffer who has
been placed at the head of the batting
list. Then Leighton died at first and then
those fierce high balls from Korwin S
powerful hand drilled three holes in
o. Rourke's bat.s
This was indeed bad beginning for
our three hard hitting fielders to make.
In the second 1t was one, two, three and
out and one of those was strike out for
Goodhart. This was dubious indeed. But
when in Brockton's half Goodhart made
square muff of Magoon's throw of
Frances grounder the prospect of victory
vanished in the very dim distance.
Stackhouse got hit, and while Ma
COON and Woods were hustling into right
after it, Terrien ran down to third and
muffed the throw in, and France came
home. Staekhouse reached third and
came in on Terrien's passed ball.
Was there ever so much agony for a
Portland audience piled up in few
miserable innings. 1t kept getting worse
too. In the fourth, O'Rourke got the
first hit for Portland, which was good for
three bags because Wise let it go by him
way down to the fence. Then O'Rourke
tried to come in on short passed ball,
but was nabbed at the plate.
And this wasn't the end of it. All this
time Yerrick was pitching fine ball, and
they had only one hit up to the fifth
inning, but then Portland slipped up
again and they got another run. Magoon
grabbed Staekhouse's grounder, but
threw it so wide and high that Goodhart
had to get off the base and jump for it.
He got his glove on it, but didn't hold it.
If he had he probably wouldn't have
made put out for he would have had
to touch the runner, who was almost on
the ball. Toman scrifced him to second
and Shea brought him in with hit
-@ 1t was miserably discouraged crowd
that saw the Portlands come to the bat in
the sixth with the score 3 to 0, against
them, and no prospect of doing anything
with that cyclone of Korwan. But the
destinations of baseball is in it's surprises,
almost as much as in it's intrinsic merit

the race, If it is arranged, cannot be trot-
ted in this part of the country, where

event would be worth travelling MANY
miles to see and would surely be a great
drawing card.
