estins Suit.
SPECIAL TO THE PEEss.l

Alfred, September 8o.-A case which
has excited great interest in the town Of
Kennebunk was set for trial here today
in the Supreme court before Judge Foster.
1t was the case of State against Willard F.
Merchant, who was accused OF breaking
into the cottage of Joseph D. Eaton at
Wells in the fall of 1895 and stealing there
from goods, the property of John W..
Lord Merchant is known as thesstrong
man of that region He has travelled
with circus and was with show when
arrested last summer in Toronto. 1t is
alleged that the goods which he stole We're
found in the rooms of Mrs. Rose Wissell,
and she has been indicted as receiver OF
stolen goods. Since the indictments were
found it has been learned that the cottage
is the property of Mrs. Eaton, and for
that reason the Indictment against Mer-
chant was mol pressed today on motion of
County Attorney Emmons. Merchant
was at once arrested on new complaint,
taken before a trial justice and COM
mitted in default Of bail. He will be
given q hearing next Wednesday. The
case Of Mrs. Wissell will be continued
and tried at the time Of the trial of Mer-
chant If he is again indicted.

Brooklyn, September 30.-Although
Boston has one more game to play with
Brooklyn and Baltimore will play two
more with Washington, at the Monu-
mental city, the race for the league pen
nant of 1887 came to an end with the con-
clusion of today's game at Eastern park.
Boston won the game while Washington
trouncei the champions, which leaves
the Bostons the undisputed champions for
1898.
The scenes at today's game beggar
description. In the second INNING when
the Bostons scored five runs, which gave
them safe lead, men and women alike
arose in their seats and yelled like
demons. When the lead became so great
that there was no more hope for the home
team, the most faithful joined the Bos-
tons and their rooters, and for n time
nobody could hear anything else but
people yelling "Boston.' 1t was a great
day for baseball in Brooklyn, and one
that Is not likely to be forgotten very
quickly by those who attended Boston S
work in the field was simply marvellous.
Nothing seemed too hard for them to
get. Lowe and Long alone cut of about
four hits by their brilliant fielding. The
score:
Brooklyn, 0 0 8 o. o 0 o o. 8
Boston, 0 5 2 0 al liz
Base hits-Boston, 19; Brooklyn. I. Err
rors-Boston, o; Brooklyn, 4. Batteries
Dunn and BuIrill; Klobedanz and Ber-
gen.
Baltimore, Septem Der 30.-The ghost of
a chance that Baltimore had to win the
pennant for next season no longer exists.
1t vanished early in today's game when
the Senators fell upon DIR. Ponds curves,
hatted him out of the box and took a
good long lead in the fourth inning,
after VIII ch the Orioles seemed to lose
heart, and played listlessly and without
ambition. In the meantime the score
board was showing how easily the Bos-
tonlans were taking their game away
from Barnie's men in Brooklyn and the
last vestige of hope slowly died out in
the breasts of the handful of faithful
''rootors'' who still chung to the belief
that Brooklyn might take one from the
leaders and give the birds q chance to
catch up by winning all four from the
Senators. The score:
Baltimore, 90 0 0 Q 0 O o.;
