BASE BALL.
Bostous Win One and Also Lose One tc
Brooklyn Yesterday-Other Games.

Boston, September 21.-By a strange
mixture of hitting and poor fielding
Brooklyn piled up twelve runs against
Boston in the first inning Of the first
game today. The Brooklyns had great
streak of batting and made seven safe
hits in succession, and it was not until
sixteen men had gone to the bat that they
were retired. Seven Of the runs were
made after two men were out. Notwith-
standing the game was lost, Nichols was
Kept In the box till the fourth, when,
with the bases filed and three runs
scored, Hickman was placed in the box.
He did not inspire confidence the first
two innings that he pitched, but after
that became steadier and did fairly we'll.
Dunn pitched and flelded his position
finely. Shindle,. Lachance and Shock
played superbly. The second game
abounded in sharp fielding, excellent
pitching and fine hitting, being decided
contrast to the first game. Lewis proved
an enigma and Tenney, Long, Duffy,
Collins and Hamilton were notably
effective. The second game was called in
the seventh on account of darkness. The

THE NEW HOSPITAL.
Final Report of the Commissioners ON
the Bangor Institution.

A Statement of the Amounts Received by
Them for Salaries and Expenses-The
Report the Subject of Considerable
Discussion.
An Augusta despatch to the Lewiston
Journal gives the following particulars of
the meeting of the governor and council
at which the final report and accounts of
the commissioners on the Eastern Maine
Insane hospital was presented.
The commissioners first give some adj
vice as to the care of the building. Among
other things they say
con dry and sunny days all windows
should be opened at top and bottom
enough to insure complete circulation
of air through the buildings. This should
be done both in summer and winter.
''See that windows are closed on damp,
foggy or rainy days, and always at night.
when windows in kitchen and bakery
which operate by gear are opened or
closed, be sure that gear is locked.
"Don't leave outside doors open unless
fastened to prevent slamming. Leave in
side doors open, the doors to be held back
by bricks or other arrangements.
In closing the commissioner says: sit
is to be regretted that the last legislature
failed to make an appropriation for the
further prosecution of the work, as the
advance in the prices Of building material
will make the cost of completion much
greater than it would have been If con-
tracts could have been made in the spring
of 1897"
Attached to the report is a detailed
statement showing all receipts and dis
bursements from December, 1896, up to
the present time. 1t is as follows:

In addition to the s89S.71 reported by
the commission as cash remaining, should
be added S2l.S2, which was cash advanced
to Mr.. Campbell August 81 and Septem.
Der 1, making the entire sum coming to
the state 1920 So.
The governor and council spent some
two hours wrestling with the figures in
the account rendered by the commission
and it was criticised freely. The feeling
was that some of the amounts were ex.
cessive. The payments made the COM
missioners for personal expenses and SER
vices was entered into in detail The
governor read off each item, talking and
commenting as he went along, while one
Of the councillors took down the amounts,
adding them up and announcing the sum
which each commissioner had received
since January 1, 1897. The total figured
up slightly over s5Oo0, of which over $4,000
went to Mr.. Little ana about $1,000 each
to Mr.. Bird and Mr.. Campbell. There
were various comments on the 1888 al
lowed A. H. Little for stenography.
The sum paid d. K. Jewell secretary of
the commission for services and expenses
was regarded as fair. Whatever else the
commission have done, observed Governor
Powers, referring to the commission,
they We given as a little parting advice.
One councillor stated that while last year
Mr.. Little charged 5000 month for his
services, this year it had been 500. ~
At the beginning of the discussion it
was supposed that all the bills paid out Of
the s33, Ill ,24 had been contracted since
December, 1895, but on examination the
vouchers it was found that several of
them ran back into 1896.
The question of fixing the compensation
of the commission by the council was dis
cussed. Had the board the power to fix
the amount which each commissioner
should receive by cutting down or adding
to the sums reported in the account?
Governor Powers thought not. He had
no idea that they could not do SO. How
ever, it was remarked several times that
the commission had drawn the money
from the state treasury as they had au-
thority to do and had paid themselves as
we'll as paid the bills. Surprising, was
the inquiry, the council cut down the
compensation, the commissioners had
taken their pay and their was no re-
course from that. After much discussion
it was decided to refer the whole matter
including the auditing of the commits
sioners bills, and the care of the uncom-
pleted plant to a special committee, con-
sisting of Councillors Mayo, Marshall and
Boothby. Mr.. Mayo residing near the
site was elected as the chairman as he
would be near at hand The Governor
suggested that he visit the grounds often
and keep an oversight. He wrote to
Chairman Little last night for the keys
and on Wednesday the committee will
visit Bangor and take charge Mr.. Mayo
was authorized by the governor to employ
q man as Waterman and he would apEi
point him. The expenses of the commits
sion must come out of the $500 approri-
ated by the legislature for preserving the
buildings and grounds and not from the
residue left by the commission.

stolen buggy robe, and after examining
a number of witnesses and listening to

following opinion: 81 tells you what l
links about dis case. There is only two
witnesses what saw the defendant take
the robe and there is eight witnesses
that testify positihy that they did not
