A Game in Which Most of the Runs Were
Made In One InniDg.-Augusta Defeats
Brockton in Twelve Inning Game
Lewiston's Good Work Continues.
The strangely assorted aggregation of
so-called ball players with the New Bed
ford label, which Sir Frederick Doe is
campaigning through this region, slowed
away another game in their trunk which
they took from our party of fierce hitters.
They took this game because no one
said them nay. because they couldn't help
taking it, because we are fruit for any
thing in the shape of ball team that
comes along these days.
A record of four defeats in six home
games, lis about the worst that any team
has been credited with SO far this season /;
even Lewiston, at their worst did batter
THAI that.
And all this was caused yesterday and
was caused the day before. and has been
oausad since the team got home, by the
nerve are prerequisites of base hits. The
one doesn't come without the other, and
it is to be feared that the base hits will
never, never come, until few mombers
of the local team become impressed with
the idea that they are hi-ad men, and not
party Of foreign diplomats, who have
been granted the freedom Of the city.
These are to some extent plain words,
but they ought to have been said the day
before.
The game yesterday was won by New
Bedford in the fifth, when lot of base
hits got together and made merry, and
sang ezultantly of our down fall.
What music a we'll assorted choir of
base hits will max, when they get to-
gether.
Sometimes they strike their Tyre to the
soaring notes Of a triumphal march. and
then again sound forth the sad strains of
funeral dirge.
After these six runs had been scored,
Portland went in and did something
which really set peoples hearts to beat
ing faster. Edgar, who was playing
right field, in place of two or three stars
we lave on the string. and Killeen who
guarded first base in place of Slater who
is sick, were given bases on ball. Then
came nice lot of singles which no one
expected we had in reserve, and five runs
were ours before 1t was over. New Bed
ford got two more in the sixth and
thereafter tallies ceased to be Tailed.
Murphy made remarkable play in
right, taking hard line drive from
Leighton's bat, by jumping into the air
and completing double play. Cava-
naugh threw the ball into the bleachers
in the sixth, a misplay which costs two
runs. The attendance was 400 The

Wooden Mills Shut Do WIN.

Lowell. Mass. June 1.-THE Middlesex
Manufacturing Company will close July
for an Indefinite period. Tho dye house
has already shut down. Agent Perry
says the wooden goods market is very
much worse than year ago. at this
time and is constantly improving i'll the
wrong direction. He could not see any
light ahead and the only thing lett was
to CLOSE Tie stated that just as soon as
he got some orders he would call his help
back and set them at work. He said
the stopping of the Middlesex was no
mart of preoonceiyed plan or general
pareement with wooden mills. The Mid
diesex employs 600 hands, and the weekly
nav roll amounts to $4,000.

Baseball Notes.
How would 1T work to put some of the
two or three hitters we seem to have at
the top of the list?
Killeen will pitch for Portland in the
game with Fall River today.
Charlie Flaok may be seen in today's
game today. He has asked for his re-
lease from Lewiston, and if given will
join Portland.
Manager Lonard went up to Gray
yesterday, to obtain an interview with
Pennell, the old hard hitting second
baseman of the Lewiston s. Pennell led
the league the year he was in Lewiston,
with an average of over 400. He was
not found, however, but word was left
that the Portland management desired an
interview with him.
The Lewiston Journal last night pu b.
lished Il story to the effect that internal
discussions were at the bottom of the poor
work Of the Bangor club, and tho st DRY
of yesterdays game would seem to con-
firm it. The advent of MoDermott
doesen't seem to have improved matters
much either.

too, is the unusually heavy foreign de-
mand for corn, which Is a rarely failing
sign of deficient crops abroad, where other
grains are used instead when wheat be-
comes scarce and dear.
Tt Is another good sign that RAILROAD
earnings, amounting to 1888, 745, 31S IN the
United States for September, show a
smaller decrease than in August, L3 per
cent. against 81 compared with last. year,
and 10.1 against Isl compared with 1885,.
The last week shows more favorably than
any other. West bound tonnage is in
creaSing, and east bound tonnage from
Chicago has been in four weeks 251. los
against 263,S 29 last year. Payments through
clearing houses look better, though some-
what deceptive because the week which
includes the first three days of the month
is. always much the largest. Exchanges
still fall 16 per cent. below those of 1892,
but less than in September.
Iron furnaces in blast October / had q
capacity of 1l2, 1872 tons weekly against
12s, 500 September l. and 217, BOG November

1852 tons, but if those Of steel making

for the week against 1,249,20 last year.
Prices advanced about one per cent. in
September, and have since advanced even
more, though few of rhe mills have or
ders for a long time.
More gold has been ordered from Eu-
rope, so that $4, 000,0 900 Is now on the way.
Speculation in stocks has yielded a little,
about $1.13 for railroads, and IS cents for
trusts. The outward movement of money
to the interior has been 81, 000,0 600 for the
week, and little is doing in commercial
loans. with rates about one-half per cent.
higher than a week ago. Failures for the
week were 296 in the United States
against 268 last year, and 46 in Canada
against 81 last year.

There is just now no lack of news from
the Western States.
Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa is
as promptly and accurately heard of as
from any New England State.
From all over the West come reports
that Paine's celery compound occupies
practically a clear field in the cure of
diseases arising from a tired or otherwise
impaired nervous system.
No other remedy was ever used by so
many men Of sound and reliable judg-
ment- No remedy but Paine's celery
compound has ever been recommended by
so conspicuously fair-minded a body of
men and women. The half-hearted exper-
mental efforts of scores and scores of
s-arsaparillas, tonies, and so-called ner-
vines, with which the market is constant
ly recruited, are in startling contrast with
the conident-because thoroughly scien-
tihc-way in which Paine's celery COM
pound sets about restoring health and
vigor to the worn out body.
Why will people be silly enough to
jeopardize their lives and lessen their
chances of getting well by taking any
thing else?
There is no help SO sure and so imme-
date as one gets from the use of Paine's
celery compound Detailed information
of innumerable cases OF rheumatism.
neuralgia n dyspepsia, completely
cured, has established this great invig-
orator as the most valuable remedy those
run down in health can make use of.

was well nigh have been ra-
stored to a joyful, contented state of body

sound Money Views Of The Situation

Sound Money Views of the Situation
The Sound Money leaders are either
dreamers of the widest kind, or else the
campaign is all over but the shouting.
They say that Bryan is standing in the
track Of a landslide, and that election
night wen his voice will be engulfed in
the cataclysm of ballots. They claim, in
the first place, that Illinois will give Nc
Kinley pretty nearly 100, 900 majority. and
Altgeld, they say, will be as badly
swamped as his puppet.
Some of the other pluralities which they
claim will be polled against the silverites
are:-Michigan, $4,000; Wisconsin, 0 ,oo0;
Indiana. so, 600; Minnesota, 10000. and Ohio,
$4,000. They claim that Maryland, Della
ware, West Virginia and Kentucky. prob
ably Kansas, and perhaps Nebraska and
California will cast their electoral votes
against Reputation.
In the Middle Western States they are
especially confident, claiming that ten
Democrats are pledging themselves to
vote for either Mckinley or Palmer to
one Republican who is going over to
BRYAN.
