Dover Forfeited Tuesdays Game on
account OF Decision AT Third.
specasorr sspondenee Of Gazette and journal
Smyrna, Aug. IA Tho Dover club
came here yesterday to cross bats with
the strong team Of Manager Armstrong
and forfeited the game by calling its
men from tho field In Smyrna's half of
the eighth inning. The score was then
a tie, Smyrna having man on third
and no one out. A decision at third
base, declaring the runner safe, caused
the trouble. Harry Richardson, coached
by Charles M. Wharton, objected and
ordered the captain of the Dover team
to call his men off. The umpiring was
impartial, Dover profiting by two runs
from bali cleraly outside the foul
line, which was declared fair.
Clark was very wild and when he did
put them near the plate they were
lined out without much difficulty.
Parnell pitched a great game, strik-
ing out six men and allowing but seven
hits, while Wilt caught mastery
game behind the bat Nessingen made
a great catch in. left, falling down in
the effort, but holding the ball all the
time. Radcliffe batted well for the
visitors

TaE BATH HOUSE.


to Put 1t in shape for Use. and the
Money is Not at Hand.
Tuesday George A. Elliott and
Charles Gawthrop, of the Wilmington
Free Bath Association, went over Third
street bridge to look at Che bathing
house, which was sunk in the Chris
tiana several months ago. Recently it
was hauled out on the flats. They
were accompanied by Enoch Moore,
Jr., and Capt. Kershaw.
The examination disclosed the fact
that the sinking of the bath. house was
due to the pulling. of the plugs by
some unknown persons of malicious
tendencies. 1t was also ascertaincd
that it will require several hundred
dollars to put the house in shape for
use. 1t needs planking and repairs,
and piles will also have to be driven
to secure it in position.
The association has not the money in
hand to put the bath house in shape
for use, and would be glad to receive
subscriptions to fund for this pur-
pose. Last year the house was kept
in use until October 18th, and if the
money was at hand the association
could have it in shape in week and
thus put it to much good use this year.

Eufaula, /. t., Aug. ID. Five des-
perate outlaws, charged with having
committed almost every crime in the
calendar, were captured in the centre
of Eufaula at about dusk last night.
Heavily armed and appropriately
mounted, they rode boldly into town,
apparently intent on making raid,
and believing that they would receive
but little opposition. They were mis-
taken, however, for they were quickly
surrounded by armed deputies.
The officers droppeds on them in a
complete surprise, and the quintet
meekly gave up their arms and sub
mitted to arrest without making the
least effort to escape.
Composing the gang are Charles
Wilson, Ray Defenbaugh, Joe Buck,
Charlie Moore and Coy Shehan. Each
is charged with numerous crimes COM
mitted in the Territory and all are
known to be desperate men!

Additional Funds Needed for the Erection
OF New buildings at the Home of the
Good Shepherd, in Phiiadeiphia.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd
whose house is in Philadelphia, are
soliciting funds from the citizens Of
this city and vicinity to help in the
erection of new buildings, their present
house having become insufficient to ac-
commodate the constantly increasing
demands fotr protection and care.
These sisters deserve the generous
consideration and liberal encourage
ment of all our people. They have
never refused admission to any unfor-
tunate sinner confded to them by the
courts of Delaware or by Mr.. Stout,
agent OF the S. P. G. c., or the clergy.
They support at the present time about
30 girls from this city. No worthier
charity could appeal to the Justice and
liberality of our people, and it is to be
hoped that the sisters win return to
their home with ample proof of the ap-
probation and gratitude Of Delawareans
for their good work. The bishop or
any of the clergy will gladly receive
donations to forward the noble work.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June IA pri-

of May 20, printed in the y ews to day,
says, among other things, that Me-
Lean, late of the United States army
and navy, who had charge of General
Grants funeral procession, has been
made colonel of the Hawaiian regi-
ment.
He arrived on the last boat and took
charge at once. He is regarded by the
troops as thoroughly military, and
has made some radical changes and
inaugurated a course of strict discip
line which has heretofore been rather
lax.
The letter adds that there are lots of
rumOrs afioat on the island Of a fill
bustering expedition that is supposed
to be on its way down to the island, or
else getting ready to come. The Gov
ernment has hired a steamer, placed
cannon on board, and has it patrolling
around the islands watching for any
suspicious vessels that come in sight.
