Trotting park between the BARRIERS and the
Tailors, of town, attracted a fair audience to
the diamond During the entire game it
looked very favorable for the Tailors, but
when the BARRIERS cam to bat in the ninth
inning and scored eight runs, the Tailors
began to look gloomy, who had gone there
with the intention of bearing the banner of
victory home unfurled. Their was no lack
Of play on both sides and the game was very
exciting at times.
There was some dissatisfaction as to the
line up Of both teams, and considerable
time was lost in calling the game. After
play was called all the boys got down to hard
work aud made excellent plays at times,
which brought forth rounds Of applause
from the audience present. The features of
the game were the great fielding of Calvin,
Foltz and Portz, and the batting of Foltz and
j.. Portz, which was a surprise to all those
present. The score was as follows

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Grafton, w. Va, October 3.-Eugene
Sommerville, heretofore a prominent
Republican, of this city, was seen to-day
by your reporter and interviewed on
the political situation. Mr.. Sommer-
VILE is a prominent lawyer and business
man. and in addition to his answer to
the questions below, he also says he Is
going TO take the stump To- the Demo-
cratic ticket. Following Is the CONVEX
saton had with him:
mr.. Sommervil,e, it is currently re-
ported here that you have always been
an advocate of free silver, is this true?.
II have long believed that our hard
times were due primarily TO the demon
citation Of silver and the consequent
cOpreciatlon of the god dollar"
do you believe that the remonetiza-
ton Of silver and its free coinage at the
ratio OF IS to 1 can be maintained by
the United States alone?'
Il do, and do not believe the United
States should be dependent upon Eurooe
in any way, especially as regards our
money"
While you affiliated with the Repub-
lican party, did you believe the double
standard to be a tenet Of that party?'
That party has declared in their ma
tional platforms for bimetallism so fire.
uuently that no one could doubt its be-
ing in favor of that standard, but / be-
!ieye that the ST. Louis platform was
dictated this year by Wall street, the
greatest enemy of the common people
on earth, and I cannot vote for any can
d!date standing upon that platform"
What are your feelings towards the
Chicago PLATFORM
Il endorse ii fully"
you have been travelling extensively
over this State; what is your opinion as
to the success Of silyer?"
IF men are permitted to vote for
their interests as they see them, without
unjust influences, the Democrats will
carry this State by the largest majority
since 1876"
Mr. Sommerville's announcement OF
his intention to support the Democratic
ticket has caused a commotion in local
political circles.

WON HER SUIT.
Miss Wamsher Gets $4,000 Instead Of
the 100000 Kisses Which Her
Bethrothsd, in a Moment of Gener-
Osity Promised.

Reading, Pa, October 3.-A breach Of
promise suit in which there was written
evidence of "1OO,OOO,OoO kisses prom
ised to the fair plaintiff was terminated
by verdict OF $4,000 damages in court
here before Judge Endlch and Jury.
II was the suit Of Miss Emma c.. Wam-
sher against Adam A. Stoudt. asking
800 900 for blig'hted affections.
There were many interesting specta-
tors in attendance upon the trial. and
they listened to the story OF the COURT
ship with the closest attention. II an
peared in evidence that in 1885 Stoudg
was apublic school teacher in Robson.
He became acquainted with Miss Wam-
sher, daughter of Robert Wamsher Of
Geiger's Mills, and declared they became
engaged to be married After this
Stoudt enlisted in the regular army and
was stationed in the far West. Many
letters passed between them. and the,
promise of marriage il is cha -sed was
reiterated. Among the letters were mas
sages like "My Dear Emma" and Yours
in true love" On August S, 1891. one
came from the Yellowstone National
lark, saying: do not fail to lake all the
pleasure you can, as | am taking all I
can, for IL get through my enlistment
alive and We get married, mere is plenty
OF time to settle down.
In another letter several months later
he says: Time flies, and we will soon.
be together again. Am thinking OF Won
always" Later he writes: "Dearesr
Kitty, hope you are having lots OF fun.
l see You consent 10 my plans for the
future, and am glad of IT," u ends.
Hoping to hear from you soon, my
darling, am your true lover" On Ian
uary 20, 1892, he called her MY dear.
dark-eyed, pretty Kitty" and threatens
to box her ears. I'VE will fight some
times, won't WEI" he suggests playfully.
But then we'll kiss and make up Your
devoted lover" my own dear little
wlfe-to-be" IS another quotation from a
letter. Goodbye, darling, 100, 000,O 900
kisses for you, dear old girl; your true
lover, Adam" Is still more touching.
On February IL, 1892, he wrote: You
have made me very happy by your an
swer, and you VIII never regret It, my
llttisxsass-sn I see you have hurt yoar
finger again, little one. II had been
there I would have kissed II, little one,
till il would be we'll. When get back
we will be married and live in Reading,
I guess, my little dark-eyed dove"
Several witnesses testified 20 having
heard that the two were engaged TO be-
married, and the jury agreed that they
must have been. Indeed, II some OF the
Jurors could have had their way, the
verdict would have been for $4,000 In
stead OF $4,000 *
