A Stick That Carried Word Across the Al.
tnntiC.

lunttSs
In the records of the photographic
office Is preserved very remarkable
story, illustrating the eccentricity of
the ocean currents which the bottle
papers are designed to trace. On the
second day of September, 1892 the
young daughter of the blacksmith of
Gamma, an island Of the Hebrides
group, was wandering along the sea-
shore for the purpose Of gathering
driftwood for fuel. She CHANGED 10
pick up small piece of wood which
bore an inscription that had been cut
out with knife. 1t read: "Lachlan
Campbell, Bilbao. March %, 1892" The
child took it to her mother, who nearly
tainted on examining it, The name
was that of her own son, who was a
boiler-maker in Spain. A superstitious
feeling inspired her with the notion
that the stick was a message from her
boy and a harbinger Of evil tidings re-
garding him. She wrote to him at
once, telling him what had happened,
and was greatly relieved in mind to
learn by return mail that he was alive
and well He told her that he we'll re-
membered how, on a certain holiday, he
had carved such words on piece of
wood and thrown it idly into the sea
from a rock near Bilbao.-Washingt

Big Fire in Providence-De Destruction of
Masonic Temple.

Big Fire in northumberland of a
Masonic Temple.
Providence, r. l., March 19.-Fire to-
day totally destroyed the fine Masonic
Temple here and did much damage to
adjacent buildings. The fire had big
start before the firemen could get to
work at it.
The heaviest part Of the blaze was in
the central portion Of the building. Be-
ing bounded by three streets-Dorrance,
Pine and Eddy-it would have been a
comparatively easy task to combat the
flames, but the firemen were handicap
ped by the progress already made by
the flames, and the fire had gained
great Roadway before the efforts of the
department counted for anything at all.
The hydrant streams were weak and
almost useless to begin with, and the
few streams which were early upon the
building seemed quite futile.
This combination of circumstances
gave promise at first of a spreading fire,
but fortunately the blaze was confined
to a comparatively small area. The
center Of the building became a verita-
BILE furnace in short time, and it was
soon evident that the temple of the Ma
sonic order was doomed. From the
Pine street side the firemen played nu-
merous streams from the fire escapes
and roof of the Providence opera
house.
That structure seemed the most prob
able victim Of the obstinate blaze across
the street, and the clouds of sparks
which fioated towards Westminster
street threatened the Narragansett ho-
tel. with the arrival of other appara-
t,,s more men were stationed on the
roofs of the opera house and the hotel,
bnt the streams which were directed
from the fire escapes of the opera house
aid little service at the beginning of
the fire.
The water tower was at first station
ed on the Dorrance street side of the
building, but as it was found that two
engines would be required to operate a
stream from it, and that the engines
were much useful in pumping for sep
arate streams, that piece OF apparatus
stood in the roadway of no earthly use
in fighting the fierce flames. In the
meantime the blaze in the central part
of the building was producing a perfect
furnace.
The interior woodwork and the stock
of the stores on the first and second
floors and the elaborate furnishings OF
the Masonic hall were but finder to the
increasing blaze.
In less than half an hour from the
time the blaze was discovered the cen
trail and rear parts of the building,
comprising the halls and lodge rooms
of the Masonic lodges, were enveloped
in flames, and the bare walls formed
veritable chimney for the column OF
flames. It was an imposing spectacle,
but OF serious import to the near-lying
buildings.
The water tower was ordered to be
removed but few minutes before the
Dorrance street wall fell. From the
time of the crashing of the side and
rear walls the work of the firemen was
simplified, and the at first menacing
blaze was under control at about $50
O'Clock The loss is estimated at $780,

NEW HAyEy,s BRILLIANT GAME,

~'~T' AA -A ~ N'tN AbatA LAA+tAN T N ai-h AA e An Eleven Inning Contest With the Pater-
 son Team-A Hard Fought Battlo-Some
 otthe Most Notable Plays-other Games
 Hesterday-Other Baseball News.
 Undoubtedly the best game which has been played in New Haven this year was played yesterday afternoon between the Patersons and the New HaVens, and it resulted in favor of the former 1 to 0, eleven innings played.
 The New Havens have been steadily improving in their manner of playing, and yesterday on the whole put up the better game of the two, although both teams did excellent work.
 From the start it was undoubtedly a pitchers battle, and of the two GarVin played the better game,
 At the end of the ninth inning neither side had gained run; and not until the end of the eleventh when Paterson gained one run was @ score made.
 Smith, second base for Paterson, did fine work, as also did Cogan, right field, and ArmOr center field.
 Garvin pitched for the New Havens, did excellent work, as did Henry, center field, and Gilman, second base. There were good many sacrifice hits made on both sides.
 The two best plays were made in the ninth and eleventh innings. The first important play was made when Kellocky was at the bat. He had three strikes, the last of which the catcher of the New Ravens muffed, Kellockey started to run when the pitcher ran up, got the ball, threw it to first and put Kellockey out, The best fine playing was made in the eleventh inning. The first batter was Cogan, who hit ball to right field and got to first. Then McMackin fol- lowed with a sacrifice hit, which sent Cogan to second. He was followed by Armor, who hit the ball to short, whence it was thrown to first, which the first baseman muffed. By this time Cogan had gained third. The next batter, Heidrich, made a sacrifice hit, which brought Cogan in and won the game for Paterson.
 There was quite a crowd at the game, which seemed to fully sympathize with the New Ravens, and appreciate the teams work
 MT O'Brien umpired the game.
 To-day as well as tomorrow the New Ravens will meet the Patersons here and it is hoped the New Ravens will have better luck.

TO CURTAIL PROJECTION.
Massachusetts Mill Owners Agree to stoI
 Their Plants.

Their Plants.
 Fall River, June 29.--It is believed in manufacturing circles tonight that treasurers representing 1,700,0O spindles have agreed to curtail production dur ing four weeks in the next two months. Nothing definite can be given out by Messrs. Rounseville and Baker until the Arkwright club meeting in Boston next Thursday. The manufacturers who did not sign last week are slow at signing this week. Several treas urers who are awaiting the action of their boards have not yet entered into the agreement.
 There are certain manufacturers who will not sign till the last minute, though it is assured that they will eventually sign Although many mills are still outside of the agreement pre- parations are being made by a majori- ty to shut down next week for a week or more A majority of manufacturers appear to favor the plan of shutting down alternate weeks. The Robeson mills shut down Saturday night for an indefinite period. It is very generally conceded that all mills in the city will not stop.
 Fine goods mills, including yarn and thread mills, will not be expected to close their doors while New Bedford s and LowelPs varied cotton industries continue to hum. More or less spindles and looms in all these mills are occa- sionally shut down as orders for cer- tain grades become slack, and it is a fact that more ois less looms in nearly all of them have been idle for some weeks past.
