BOWLING SEASON ENDS.
Close of the Winter Tournament Of the
South Side League.
The Randy Boos Get a Parting
Swipe at the Aber Nits-The First
Game Of Ball to be Played To-Day.
Base Ball Briefs--Other Sporting
Matters, Local and by Wire.

The winter tournament of the South
Side Bowling League was brought TO a
close last night with the games between
the Aber-Nits and Randy Boos. The Ran
dys got in parting swipe at the tail end
ers. but it did not phase the Aber-Nits.
There has never been a time since the
first week of the season that this team
has not had a graveyard cinch on the tail
end. but they extracted as much pleasure
from it as did the Famous in finishing at
the top of the list. 1t has been a pretty
race among the leaders, and several weeks
ago It looked like the famous boys would
be passed, but they sprinted, and came
under the wire easy winners.
Last night the Aber-Nits went out 10
Fette's place in style. They rode in a
band wagon, and a string band accompan-
led them. They burned red fire along the
route and were met a short distance from
the alleys by a delegation of bowlers, who
also lighted the way with a pyrotechnical
display. They painted Caldwelrs run red.
and then lost three games. as matter of
course. TIE season wound up in i blaze
of glory.
Notwithstanding it has been said that
interest in bowling is on the decline in
Wheeling-and this is very true-the tour
nament which closed last night was the
most successful yet given. The postponed
game could be counted on the fingers of
one hand after a thrashing machine had
amputated the thumb and fore finger The
winners will be announced and the prizes
distributed within few days. The teams
finished as indicated in the above table.

by our own Legislature that the posi-
ton occupied by the liquor commits
sioner is a public office.
The office OF State liquor commissioner
in Maine II as much an agency OF the
government under the law by which II Is
established. and M important an agency
as that perhaps of any other department
of State government. An examination
OF the statutes Of this State under which
that officer IL appointed and which he
exercises his duties, Will show that the
Office Is but an agency OF the state sub
jcct to almost arbitrary control Of the
executive department Of the State gov
crnmcnt The State pays the interest on
the money with which the commissioner
purchases the liquor; pays him salary,
which is fixed; inspccts all liquors ne
handles; and demands that all net proifts
derived from the sale of intoxicating
liquors to the municipalities Of the state,
shall he turned over to the State treas
urcr. There Is no phase of the case but
what shows that the office of State liquor
commissioner Is one of the agencies OF
the State government Of Maine, and rs
such, by a long line of authorities. among
which are some that ! have cited. II II

States government upon retail and whole

A TERRIBLE ClOUDBURST
At and About Youngstown, Ohio Many PEG
pie Thought 10 Be Drowned.

Youngstown, Ohio, July 23.-At I
r. NJ Thursday, a terrible cloudburst
struck this town, flooding the entire
valley and causing great damage t.
property both in the city and along
the railway lines. Many people are
supposed to be drowned. The entire
country east and west for 90 miles was
flooded and the damage viii be enor-
NOUS.
Many residences here We're flooded
All the bridges washed away in the
Mahoning valley. The Catholic church
at Niles was struck by lightning and
nearly destroyed by fire While business
houses and manufacturing concerns
We're flooded.
AT 1890 o'clock, Thursday, came the
first definite information of the damage
done by the storm. Along Crab creek,
running into the city in the northeast,
along the Erie and Lake Shore Rail
roads and emptying into the Mahoning
river near the Lake Shore depot. a
cloud burst occurred about 10 O'Clock.
AT 10 O'Clock the water sped down the
valley into the city. carrying every
thing that was not fastened down be-
fore 1t. The bed of creek was no more
than 20 feet wide, but the food spread
out to a width of about 1000 feet
1t rose quickly and in less than so
minutes, the water was UP to the
second stories of all the dwelling houses
in the flooded districts and was still
rising. 1t is certainty at II o'clock
that none of the people escaped from
the houses. The whole district was in
Il a oil Mo- w,
lone electric light shone.
Firemen, police and others were on
hand quickly, but were powerless to
effect rescues, as not a boat of any
kind was to be had The cries of the
people in the houses We're heartrending
to those who stood at the waters edge
and were forced to retreat on account
of the rising waters
1t is almost a certainty that many
people We're drowned. One whole fam
lily was heard crying for help from
upper windows when suddenly there
was a grinding noise as if the house
was being moved from its foundations
| and soon the cries from that place
| ceased.
| The intense darkness made it impos-
sible to see what was goin on, but it
is supposed that the house and it's occu-
pants went down into the flood. Peo-
| pie at the waters edge hear a man
crying for help who was apparently
being carried down in the flood The
voice grew fainter and it is supposed
the unfortunate man persisted
Pitiful cries for help were heard con-
tinually, but the crowd on the shore
could do nothing in the way of giving
| aid.

The latest grievance of the London
cabmen is the issue of guide books by
some hotel managers. who represent
their establishments as being much
nearer to the sights" of the metrop-
Oils than they really are. The result
is that cahmen find it difficult to get
the proper fares from persons who
have perused these books.
