The attendance at the ball game be-
tween the Wallingfords and Milfords
on the Colony street grounds Saturday
afternoon was not as large as at the
other games owing largely to the coun-
ter attraction of free band concert
and balloon ascension at Elm Park
The game was rather one-sided and
lacked the snap noticeable at the last
game. The Wallingfords scored two
runs in the first inning and took the
lead, which they kept through the game
and won by a score of Is to 5. There
was some loose playing on both sides,
in which the visitors excelled. The
home team made thirteen base hits and
three errors and the visitors seven hits
and five errors. The score by innings
is as follows:

ANOTHER BLAZE.

The fire alarm Saturday night at 10
o'clock originated from blaze in the
yard of Sidney j. Hiil,the grocer. While
he was drawing some gasoline out in
the yard the light of his lantern went
out. In lighting 1t the blaze set the
escaping gas from the gasoline recep-
tacle on fire, and there was quite a
large blaze for a moment. Hence
some one gave the alarm. Mr.. Hill re-
ceived some severe bruins.

The City Census

Owing to the Fiesta and the further
fact that the various offices of the city
government closed at noon yesterday.
but little additional was done in the
matter of the city census. 1t is, however.
now reasonably certain that the 100000
mark will be exceeded by safe mar
gin, as that figure was probably reach
ed last evening. Some of the enumera-
tors have been either grossly incompe-
tent or have been soldering" at a
great rate, as in some precincts the
number of inhabitants is but slightly in
excess of the number of registered vot-
ers. In these precincts the committee
will have an investigation made, and
if it is thought necessary another can
vass will be ordered by enumerators
who have demonstrated their competen-
cy. The committee having the matter
in charge does not want single bogus
or fictitious name, but they do want an
honest and complete census, and they
will see that they get it.

MAIN STREET PAVING
Conference Between the Councilmen
and Contractors

Another conference was held between
the special committee having the matter
in charge and the asphalt contractors
on Main street, in regard to relaying
the asphalt surface on that street. The
conference was held in the office of the
city clerk, anG only lasted a short time.
Besides talking OYER the details of the
work, and the appointment of inspectors
to supervise the work, the conditions
under which it is to be done were also
discussed. Councilman Mathuss of the
special committee has some ideas on
this question, and these he has formu-
lated in the shape of a series of regula-
tions. These were submitted to the con-
tractors, and were taken under advise
ment. 1t is not probable that any
thing will be done until after Fiesta,
though 1t is possible that on Monday
next the committee will be in position
to report that all the preliminaries have
been arranged, and that the work will
commence at once. Following are the
conditions submitted by Mr.. Mathuss:
No. ALL asphalt rejected must be
removed from Main street, and not a
pound of the said asphalt condemned on
Main street to be used for repaving
said street.

Main street must of a standard or ac-
cording 10 specifications.
No. 3-The use of crude oil for fluxing
or mixing is strictly prohibited on this

this work must be men accustomed to
asphalt paving. The inspector of the
most Importance is the one that in
sepects the heating and mixing This
branch of the work is of the greatest i'm
portance, and must be a first-class
man.

SISTER SAVES BROTHER
Two Small Children Have a Marrow
Escape From Death

The two small children of James Par
sons, residing at No. 1853 East Twenty
eighth street had narrow escape from
icing burned to death last night about s
o'clock. 1t seems that Mr.. and Mrs Par
sens were away from home and left the
little ones. a girl and boy, whose ages
were s and years, respectively, in the
house alone. The little girl went into
the kitchen to get drink of water, leav-
ing her brother lying on the bed, and
upon returning she discovered the bed
clothes on fire. The blaze was gaining
haedway rapidly, and the smoke was al
most suffocating. but, with unusual
presence of mind, the sister grasped her
brother and quickly carried him out of
the house. He was uninjured. but his
clothes were badly scorched. The bed
clothes were consumed, as was some of
the furniture, entailing loss of about
Sl00.
The fire was discovered by a passer-
by, who turned in an alarm. The fire
department were soon on hand and ex-
tinguished the blaze. 1t is thought
