BOWDoIN, a; BOSTON COLLEGE, 0.
The Varsity Team Puts Up Grand Game and
Shuts Out the Visitors.

Brunswick, May 9.-(SpeciaD.-One of
the most exciting ball games ever wit
messed in Brunswick was played on the
Whittier athletic field. Saturday after
noon. The Bowdoin Varsity and the
Boston College nine were the opposing
teams and although the work of the
Boston boys was at times exceptionally
clever. the game finally resulted in a
score of 4 to 0 in Bowdoins favor
Throughout the game the Bowdoin nine
prayed with an air of professionalism
which it has hitherto lacked, while its
work demonstrated beyond doubt that
the college is represented this season by
one of the strongest ball teams in its
history.
Libby occupied the box for Bowdoin
and his work was most effectual. Stan
wood in center field accepted two eX-
tremely difficult chances. the first being
the most phenomenal and sensational
play of the season. Griffin pitched for
Boston College, and the three-base hits
of Greenlaw and Hull and the single OF
Haines were the only hits made off his
delivery. For Boston College the work
of Lyons and Bergin was the most COM
mendable. The following is the summary
of the game:

The very weight of this cargo at once ac-

BURNED TO WATERS EDGE.
Total Loss by Fire Of Ship Francis Of New
Bediord-Crew Saved.

New Haven, n. j.. May 9.-The ship
Francis of New Bedford. Mass. under
with II crew of % men, which left San
Francisco. Jan. H. with a general cal go
bound for New York, took fire at sea.
Saturday, and in order to save the lives
of those on board, and the ship and cargo.
if possible, she was beaehed ON the south
end of Long Branch, six miles below here.
at O'Clock Saturday night. The capita
and crew reached shore safely and were
taken care of by the crew of the Little
Egg Harbor life saving station. The yes
sci was burned to the waters edge and
with the cargo will prove ii total loss.
The fire was first discovered about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon and was burn
ing tiercely in the hold. All hands were
ordered on deck and manned to ext!n-
guish the flames. But they had gained
too much Roadway and it was as much
as the men could do TO prevent the fire
from spreading so rapidly as to necessi
tate their taking to the boats on the open
sea.
The captain saw that his only hope lay
in reaching shore. where he could posi-
bly, have chance of saving the ship and
part of the cargo. With this end in
view he headed the Francis toward the
beach. while the crew kept pouring wat IT
into the hold. 1t was well after dark
and the position of the men on board
was perilous in the extreme With her
bow pointed well on the shore, the ship
struck hard and fast.
Meanwhile the fire was raging even
more furiously than before and all hands
were forced to leave with nothing but the
clothes on their backs. They were as
sisted in reaching shore by the lie
guards and were supplied with needed
clothing and nourishment.
The tugs l.. j. Merritt and North Amer
lea arrived. Sunday. endeavored to put
out the fire. which was still burning.
They We're unable to accomplish anything
and finally gave up. The captain ard
mate left on one of the tugs for New
York and the crew will go by train Tues
day.
What renders the accident more unfor-
tunate is the fact that Captain Smiths
wife died at sea on the outward trip of
the ship. He had the body embalm d
and sent home by train. 1t awaits his ar
rival in Boston.
The Francis is a full-rigged ship Of
1874 tons burden. She was out ll2 days
and experienced no unusual weather
throughout the voyage. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1897-08-27

Several evenings since, resident of
the north side, while on his way home,
saw man climb up lamp post, open
the door and light his pipe at the flame.
This little incident recalled to his mind
an experience Of the late John s. Ogden,
when postmaster of Wellington. Mr..
Ogden was on his way home from the
postOffice one evening, and when in front
OF Mr.. Johns residence noticed a man,
holding a large club in his hand, mount
the block on the lamp post at the corner,
and put out the light. The action was
quite suggestive to Mr.. Ogden, and he
was not one Of the kind to make detour
to avoid a threatened danger. Drawing
his revolver, he laid it across his left
wrist and facing the fence, against
which the other party had taken posi-
tion, proceeded on his way; leisurely
passing the wOuldbe highwayman, who
did not move muscle. The man had
evidently been about the postOfice and
witnessed Mr.. Ogden counting the days
receipts and putting the money in a
large wallet which he placed in his in
side coat pocket. To learn where Mr..
Ogden lived and arrange plans to assault
and rob him was an easy matter for the
man, but the courage of our old friend
which had been tested on many battle
field, frustrated the evil design.

R. H. KINNIsoN, Supt.
Rural Free Daliverv.

1t is reported that the experiments
which have been made by the Post Office
Department in the free delivery of rural
letters have, so far, resulted very much
to the departments satisfaction. Fifty
thousand dollars was appropriated last
winter by Congress for this use and
tests Of the feasibility Of the plan were
made in various parts of the country.
Early reports which have come in. es-
pecially from some districts in Maine
and Vermont, tell Of the satisfaction of
the farmers with the new service, and Of
their willingness to profit by it. It is
found that they take many more daily
papers when they can have them de-
livered, and also that the number Of let
ters carried shows a vigorous increase.
The rural carrier makes one trip a day
over distance Of between sixteen and
twenty-four miles. He supplies his own
cOnyeyance-horse and cart or bicycle.
It has been found that responsible men
are willing to do this work for an annual
stipend ranging from $175 upwards, the
average pay being about $500. 1t is es-
tlmated that at that rate sixty million
dollars about half the annual pension
BILL would provide rural free delivery
all over the United States. That would
mean, among ether things, employment
for 100000 persons. The rural carriers
are allowed to exc out their stipend by
any supplementary enterprises that do
not interfere with their duties, as to sell
stamps or stationary and receive and de-
liver express packages or kilograms.
Where farmers live some distance from
the road their mail is left in boxes at
convenient points by the roadside, from
which letters also are collected.
