The large number of piling from Rob
ertson & Baine's raft strewn along the
beach from Arch Cape to Elk Creek, will
probably be made use of at an early date,
or at least great number of the smaller
ones. j. N. Griffin will build a fine log
cabin at his summer place near Lion
Rock, and has already given orders to
have a number of them hauled up 20 his
place. The piling are most too large to
build ordinary cabins with, but among
the DRIFT from THE same raft are thous-
and of timbers that were intended for
spars, and these are just the proper size.
A house constructed of this mat rial
will withstand the storms of ages, almost,
and are very comfortable, even in the
most sevete Heather.

The Columbia River and Puget Sound
Navigation Company are going to aban-
don the day boat from Portland, and
instead win put on an extra boat, and run
night boat each way from Astoria and
Portland, laying over during the day in
each of the above places. The Telephone,
now on the ways in Portland will be
completed in about three weeks, and will
go on the night run, leaving Portland
simultaneously with the Gatzert from this
place. There Is not much money In day
boats now, as people travel mostly by
night, and freight can just as well be
carried on the night boats as on the day.
AS. soon as the railroad is completed 1t
is probable night boats will be about tn
only ones run in the passenger traffic.

After wounding iis Wife an old soldier
Kills Himself In the Presence Of bis
Children.
Clinton, ILL.,. Sept. 0. George Cap
linger attempted to kill his wife last
night by firing two shots at her. He
then placed the revolver to his own
temple and sent a ball into his head. !
Caplinger was an inmate OF the Sol
diers' Home at Quincy. Caplinger
and his wife and six children did not
live harmoniously together before he
entered the home, and his visit here
at this time was to effect reconcilia-
tion. His wife and children would not
consent to his return.
Sunday Mrs. Caplinger was standing
in the front yard leaning over the gate
and her husband was standing behind
her. He entreated her to take him
back, but she refused. He then drew
revolver and fred, the ball entering
her right shoulder. A second shot
struck steel in her corset, which
saved her life.
The children in the house heard the
shots and ran out just as their father
sent bullet into his own head. He
died instantly.

Three Members of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club Who Were Badly Fooled at the West
Chester Fair on Saturday.

Three Members of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club Who Were Badly fooled at the West
chester Fair on Saturday.
Bert Nutter, L. G. johnson and j.
A. Oliver, Jr., Johnson's trainer, all
of whom are members of the Whining
ton Bicycle Club, went to West Chester
on Saturday for the purpose of taking
part in the races which were scheduled
to take place at the Chester County
Fair, which closed on that day. There
were also riders from Philadelphia and
other cities who were anxious to cap
ture the prizes. But not single prize
did they capture, for the races did not
take place.
johnson holds the Chester county
championship cup, he having won ii
twice, and il he had won it again on
Saturday it would have been his for
keep. However, the races will be
run off Independent of the fair and the
Wilmington boy may yet be successful.
The wheelmen arrived on the grounds
shortly before 10 O'Clock. The races
were scheduled to take place at 10. &C
o clock, but when they got to the fair
grounds they found that the track had
been raked for horse racing, which
made it wholly unfit for cycling. The
management was applied to for an ex-
PLANTATION. The wheelmen told them
that If they would have the track rolled
the races could be run, but the mana
gers refused to roll the track, and fur
ther made the announcement that there
would be no bicycle races. Tho com
mittee having the cycling part of the
programme in charge was then appealed
to, but they were unable to do any
thing. Consequently there were nc
bicycle races, but tho horse races went
along Just the same. The wheelmen
were disappointed, for some of them
had travelled long distances to get to
the fair and it had cost them consider
able time and money. They are at a
loss to explain the action of the fair
managers
Many spectators were equally as much
displeased as the wheelmen, for the
announcement that there would be
bicycle races, according to the usual
custom, had been drawing card.
After it had been finally decided that
there would be no bicycle events the
cycling committee and the wheelmer
held conference and it was agreed
that the races should be run at some
future date, independent Of the fair.
The prizes will be purchased from the
fair association and those who were
entered for the fair races will go into
those at the independent meet.
A conference was held Saturday night
by the race committee and preresenta.

The Fact Plainly demonstrated In the
Game with Dover on saturday, In Which
the Wilmington Boys Came Out with
flying colurs.
That the Rockford baseball club can
play the national game as ii should be
played was demonstrated in the game
with Dover at the Union street grounds,
on Saturday afternoon, in which the
home team won by the score of s to 8.
The abilities of the Dover team are we'll
known in Wilmington, which makes
Rockford's victory all the more credit
able. Tho local team has been shaken
up, and the new material Is all good,
and its addition seems to have stimu-
lated the other players to good work.
Mckenzie, at short, is good one, and
Hayes knows how to look after left
field. The new short stop captured the
hearts of the /, 200 spectators by knock
ing the ball over left field fence the
first time he went to the bat. Comfy,
who batted before him, got his base on
hit, and Of course he came in on Nc.
Kennels homer. The baseball ahili-
ties of Hayes are too we'll known in Will
mington to be commented on. Horace
Mcdaniel also distinguished himself
at the bat. He lined out pretty three
Dagger which rolled down to centre-f field
fence. Both his and McKenzie's hits
were such as are seldom seen in Will
mington, in fact, McKenzie's was the
longest that has been made on the
gronds for several years.
Both teams put up good game, not
withstanding the fact that both pitch
ers were trife wild, Radcliffe being
worse in that respect than Kenny, he
striking three batters. Dover made
three errors and Rockford one. The
spectators were we'll pleased all the way
through and Rockford stock has gone
away up. The score:

An Infatuated Cutored boy PIunges Knife
Into a White Lad, in Retaliation for
Being Hit by Corn Cob.
Alfred Row, aged Ii years, living at
No. 1927 Lowering avenue, was stabbed
in the back Friday night, on Morrow
street, by negro boy, who made his
escape. Although the wound blee
profusely, the lad was able TO walk
home, and the result will not be
serious. The assailant's name could
not be learned,
Row was playing with crowd of
boys on Morrow street, and they were
amusing themselves by throwing corn
cobs at each other The negro boy,
who was larger than the white boys,
happened to pass and one Of the corn
cobs struck him on the head. Whether
or not IL was thrown at him is not
known. He turned on his heel, and
pulling from his pocket penknife, he
opened il and started aftor the boys,
who scattered in all directions. He
succeed in catching up with Row, and
plunged the blade of the knife into
his back below the left shoulder blade.
Although Row had on thick coat
the knife cut through the coat, shirt
and other clothing and penetrated the
body for nearly an inch. The wound
was about half an inch in width. Row
thought he had been fatally cut and
ran. The negro was as badly scared
as the white boy, and beat hasty
retreat.
Row went homo covered with blood.
He lives with his mother, and when
she witnessed the spectacle as the lad
rushed in the door. she was taken sick.
The boys wound was promptly at
tended to.
Those who saw the negro plunge the
knife into the boy say that he was in
furiated and they thought he was
going to kill the lad. No effort was
made to follow the negro, and he was
allowed to get away.
