HINSDALE, N, H,
Hinsdale Won
Two Games from 81. JerOmes---Some
Fast Playing by ninsdRie's Crack
Team, Particularly in the Last Game.

Two Games from st. JerOmes---some
Fast Playing by ninsdaie's Crack
Team, Particularly In the Last Game.
Two of the most interesting ball games
of the season were played at Hinsdale Sat
urday afternoon with the st. Jeromes Of
Holyoke, Mass, Hnsdale winning both
games.
The first game began shortly after 2
o'clock with Hiusdale at bat. Two runs
were scored off hits by Murphy and Nc
Carly, a stolen base and an error. Hins-
dale made four more in the third by two
errors, a wild pitch, two stolen bases, a
base on balls and three hits; one more was
scored in the fourth and one in the ninth
The st. Jeromes were unable to score un-
til the sixth and up to that inning only
one man got by the first base.
Both runs were made with two men out
by two singles and double. Two more
were added in the eighth by base on
balls, hit by pitched ball, an error and one
hit
For the visitors Ginley put up the best
game both at third and behind the bat
Lynch pitched good ball and received rag
ged support.
The home team put up the strongest in
held team of the season, Smith at second
covering the base for all it was worth. His
stop of Lacey's hot liner in the fourth was
fine piece of fielding, as was also Shea's
stop off Beans grounder in the sixth.
Dinsmore covered first base and got the
ball from anywhere. Thompson at short
played a fast game and Grants base run
ming was feature. The score;

The second game was the quickest and
best game ever played in Hnsdale, lasting
only an hour and 80 minutes. Both teams
put up the cleanest kind of base ball and
played the game for all it was worth The
battery work Of Train and Grant was a
feature. Train gave the best exhibition of
pitching of anyone that Hinsdale has had
in the box Only two scattering hits were
made off him. The visitors only run was
made off an error by Thompson and Grant 5
wild throw to third. The home team gave
good support and the infed kept up their
good work Harry Smith accepting ten
chances at secCn without an error Grant
got after foul balls in a way that meant
business The score:

In Search of Andree.

DR.. Terwange, a young Frenchman, has
gone to Skagway to search for Andre6's
big balloon. At Skagway he will be met
by eight others, members of the party, and
NJ. Varish, head of the expedition. The
start of the expedition will be made from
Skagway. 1t was intended to make the
search for Andrea first in a balloon capa-
bic of carrying 5000 pounds, but it was af-
terward decided to take smaller and
speeder air vessel. This will carry 5000
pounds, and was built in Vancouver.
Dr. Terwange would not state his exact
destination. Supplies will be sent around
by st. Michaels and will be cached at diff
ferent points along the river for him. His
search will be in out-of-the-way places in
northern Alaska. He is confident he will
come across some trace of the Arctic eX-
plorer before he returns. The expedition
is under the auspices of the Geographical
society of France.

Thirty-Seven Bids on the Mortified
Bridge.

The Franklin county commissioners
opened the bids Saturday for the construc-
ton of the proposed bridge across the
Connecticut river at Mortified. There
were no less than 81 bids received, many of
them from prominent bridge building con-
Germs from all over the country.
The appropriation by the legislature for
the entire work is $4,000. Something
has already been expended for preliminary
work and something must be allowed for
supervision. The lowest totals for the en-
tire work were 1872, GS3. There is a ques-
tion of responsibility of some of the bid
ders, but the commissioners feel confident
that the work can be done within the ap-
preparation.
The superstructure is likely to be built
by the New Jersey steel and iron com
pany of Trenton, whose bid, with wooden
stringers, was S23, 255, and with steel
stringers S24,S17; and the substructure by
H. c, Wood of Westfeld, whose bid was
S1947.

CHESTERFIELD, N. II.
A Wrong Statement Corrected.

Editor Of The PhUnir:-The correspondent
from this town for the Keene Sentinel has piece
in the issue of July % in regard to Mrs. Ashton
and her late husband. In il the correspondent
says that if it had not been for the generosity Of
the friends and neighbors Mr. Ashton's body
would have been turned over TO the faculty Of
Dartmouth college for dissection. We admit
that the law is cruel and unjust in every way and
form All that II was passed for was to keep the
medical college students from robbing graves.
If the colleges could have our state prison birds
instead of the unfortunate poor for dissection the
law would be- perfectly Just.
Now Mr. Ashton did not die at the County farm,
neither did the naghbors contribute to his burial.
The neghbors, in recognition of his many manly
traits and to show their sorrow and sympathlZe
with his wife, gave her IN substantial way
sum of money and not by words alone She
paid the funeral expenses herself aud out Of her
own funds
Then again. il the circumstances had been such
as she could not have buried him. then the town,
If it fit, uld have paid tie funeral expenses.
But our friend % says the town could not. She
is not up to times. else her informant is not
very we'll posted In regard to his business. for
have seen this tried myself. We think a great
wrong has been committed to the poor widow
and If the facts had been stated II would have
been far better to have left them unpublished
| write this Mr. Editor, hoping you will pub
fish It and help Lift the gloom that crowds upon
this poor woman, and at the same time correct a
great wrong. hope that in the future facts may
be obtained instead of hearsay

Senator Proctor PrecipItated the Wa

In a spec h delivered last Friday at the
annual summer outing of the Massachu-
sets club at Marblehead, Senator Hoar
said:
81 am one of those who thought, and
still think, this war might have been
avoided. think if our public utterances,
especially in the two houses of Congress,
for the last ten years had been such as to
soothe and not to wound the pride Of
Spain, we might have established a rela-
ton of friendship with her so that she
would have felt her honor safe in taking
our advice, and that we could have effect
ed the peaceful deliverance of Cuba. But
it by no means follows that because this
war could be averted it is none the less a
holy, Just or honorable war. In my opin-
ion, the resolutions of Congress demand
ing the evacuation of Cuba by Spain,
which brought on the war. were the re-
suit not of the destruction of the Maine,
but of Senator Proctor's report that half a
million people were being starved to death
at our very doors
Senator Hoar is not croaker or an OBJ
structonist, but went on to say that he be-
lieves the war will be beneficial to both
countries, and that it will result in the awak-
ening and regeneration of Spain. But
evidently having the Philippine islands in
his mind-he added his firm conviction
that it will be disastrous mistake if, as
the outcome on the part of the United
States, we enter upon an attempt "to gov
ern great masses of people, aliens in birth
The best thing we could hope in
such case is that We shall succeed only as
England has succeeded, and those of bel
colonies whom she admits to no inconsd
cradle self government. 1t is much NOR,
likely that we may fail as Spain has failed
An aristocracy or a monarchy may govern
subject states. 1t never was done AM
never will be done successfully by de
mOcracy or a republic"

Public DispI.ased with Pardon by
Gov. Grout.

Mrs. Lizzie Noonan made her appear
ance in Ferrisburgh Saturday, claiming to
have been pardoned by Gov. Grout. 1t
is understood that the pardon is condi-
tional on her good behavior. She was
sentenced last December for five years at
hard labor at the states prison for grand
larceny, to which she had pleaded guilty.
They were four other indictments against
her for other feonies, which were not
pressed in consideration of her pleading
guilty and the sentence in this case She
is the woman who figured so conspicuous
ly in FerrsbuIg with Fred Bailey, who is
now in the house of correction for break
ing into the Ferrlsburg depot with Grant
Jackman. None of the local Off ers were
consulted regarding her release from state
prison. The greatest surprise is express
ed by all upon her being set at liberty,
and unless some adequate cause is asst gn-
ed for her release it is the opinion of many
who understand the career which she led
and the extreme leniency shown her in
view OF her apparent crimes that the eX-
ecutive is open to ceasure.

A Tribute to Rev. Father wilde.

The reunion Of the parishioners and
friends of Rev. J. NJ. Wilde, at the
vestry of st. Joseph's church on Wednes-
day evening in honor of his return from a
European trip, and the welcome and greet
ings extended to him, were SO spontaneous
and hearty that, much as he deprecates os-
tentation and display, this must have been IA
source of congratulaton to him, showing, as
it does, how high place he occupies in the
hearts of his Pensioners and friends.
Everybody was glad to have Father Wilde
take a vacation which he had richly earned
by his devotion to church and parish duties
for the last ten years, and still more delight
ed to see him back again safe and sound, it
is to be hoped rested and refreshed by "a
breathing space and a holiday.
1t was the saying of quaint old New
Hampshire school master that the man was
to be enviedwho could so live in a community
as toleave a welcome behind him. 1t is very
evident that Father Wilde left warm wei
come behind, when he wen away slumber-
ing in the hearts of parish and friends,
which blossomed on his return in the form
of delightful reunion and a substantial
gift.
A true, earnest man is always "a felt
presence for good in a community, and
makes his influence tell in thousand ways.
In the schools, in town affairs, in patriotic
gatherings Father Wilde has always been
an American, loyal to the country of his
adoption and to her institutions. He has
done a good work not only for his parish
but in the town in various directions, and
we are sure we express the sentiments not
only of his church society but of his many
friends outside. The business men and the
citizens of the town wish to express the
hope that he may be spared many years in
this field of labor, and continue to be in the
future, as he has been in the past,an import
ant factor in the social and intellectual as
well as moral and religious life of the town.

II. j. Sage just escaped shocking
death last Thursday. He went into his
pasture, when his bull attacked him. He
had nothing but a little cane in his hand
and tried to keep the bull off with it, but
the bull struck him in the stomach and
knocked him down, breathless. The bull
came with such force that he passed over
Mr. Sage and was turning to finish his
job when Mr.. Sage's hired man, Waylor
Newell, jumped into the pasture, taking
the bulls attention. The bull then made
for Newell, who fought him off the best he
could until Mr. Sage recovered and got out
of the pasture; then he also ran and got
out as quick as he could and none too
soon, as the next instant the animal came
against the fence with great force. If Mr..
Newell had not been near it would have
been the last of Henry Sage. Mr.. Sage shot
the bull that day. As good luck would
have it Mr.. Sage was not much hurt;
one arm was hurt some.
