will probably captain Brockton this sea-
son. The veteran Bob p tilt, who COM
manded the shoemakers last season, will
probably go to Billy Barnie's Hartfords.
In the matter of Pitcher Coyle, Mr..
Burnham of Brockton says he has the
right of it, and that President Soden of
Boston and President Murnane and Sec
rotary Morse of the New England league
have aoknow lodged it. But Augusta has
different idea of the case.
Manager Smith of the Pawtucket Club
was expected in that city Monday. He
will be given all the points bearing on
the game there and before he leaves will
probably arrange a few more games to
be played before the season opens.

tired before, but will not succeed and
no fine will be paid him as was the case

Lang were not reserved, and Barton will
probably not play as he does not wish to
leave his position.

DEMOCRATS DIDN'T SETTLE.
Now They Are Sued for Transporting a
Party of Excursionist to a Barbecue to
Celebrate Cleveland's Election.
(From the Bangor News J

Skowhegan, March ga peculiar case
will create no little amusement for the
spectators. Nearly four years ago after
the country had heard of the news
of the election of Grover Cleveland for
President, the Democrats realizing that
it was only semi occasionally that they
the idea that they would do the thing
up brown, and so after due elaboration
decided to astonish everybody by roast
ing an OK; in fact to have first Glass
barbecue, and it was upon this decision
that a looa meat marketman, Frank
Thompson, was sent into the northern
section of this county to purchase a
bovine that was toothsome enough for
the Democratic palate, as at that time it
was thought there was nothing too rich
for the victorious party.
1t was said by some that this OK was
hidden away for the summer in antioi-
patton of this event. However, the day
for the celebration came and with it
the OK, and upon an improvised spit
in. the yard of the Maine Central freight
yard the juicy beast was roasted.
The Democrats, wishing to have a
good crowd and give everybody chance
to enjoy the celebration, made negoti-
ations with the Somerset railroad to run
an extra down from North Arson to
Norridgewook. where the people could
come the remaining five miles by stages
ready for the purpose. The trade was
made with the Somerset road to run
| dnxun oytra M xuait t1nti oftor hp
barbecue and return for $35, collecting
what they could in fares and the Demo.
Gratis paying the remainder ct that sum.
The trip was made and but Sc or 81
was received. and the leaders of the Demo.
Gratis were called upon for the remainder,
but 1T has not been paid and now the
road has brought action against a promi
nent Democrat for the balance and he re-
fuses to pay on the ground that he nevel
made any trade with the company.
Had this trouble been known by the
| Republicans at that time, as every body
regardless of politics, was feeling goot
natured and bent on having good time
they would undoubtedly have made vi
the remainder OF the purse as they hal
been buying powder all day for certain
| Democrats to make noise with, un
known to the party leaders. OF cours,
an OK roasted in that manner could no
be good all through and some parts wer,
more tough than Others. On the Who'll.
it was quite good, but man from Athen
swallowed junk Of that raw meat tina
never has digested and troubles hin
some even to this day. But the maj
from Madison who stole the carcass il
the evening, must have swallowed th,
gall.
However. here is the case marked TO
trial which was brought by the railroad
company through their attorney, Charlie
A. Harrington of Norridgewook, VIII,
saws it must be settled in this court.
But the Democrats still hang out ant
as they do not expect TO roast anothe
OK this fall, they can afford to be obsti
nate, and the man that has the undigest
ed lump in his stomach and the NAL
that has swallowed the gall swear the
will not pay until they are sure of anoth

Captain Pring Says San Salvador Could Be

San Francisco, March 30.-General
Ezeta's filibustering steamer Barclay
Golden" has arrived here.
The officers of the vessel deny that
Ezeta and Casin are hard up. According
to them, Ezeta's wife keeps them sup
piled with money. "We reached Acajutla
on January 81 said Chief Officer Pring
in an interview. "We have both been up
and down the coast looking for some of
Ezeta's friends. But as we learned after
wards the revolution had been sprung too
soon. Casin and his men got ashore first
and had reached the farmhouse before we
reached the beach. Before we could land
we saw party Of thirty Salvadoreans
surround the farmhouse and we at once
put to sea again. Casin and his men did
not wait to be attacked but began 9ring
at once. Then they made rush from
the front door and the troops did not
wait for them, but ran away as fast as
they could. Their leader who was on
horse back, led the way. If Casin at that
time had had fifty men behind him he
could have conquered the country"
