DISAPPOINTED GIRLS.

Grafton, Dec. 10.-The basket ball en-
thusiasts among the girls of the high
school seem doomed to disappointment.
Two years ago they secured the town
hail for the game, and were allowed
to play there without fear of damaging
the interior of the room, but this year
When their petition was sent in for the
consideration Of the town house com
mittee, one member of the committee
was and still is critically i'll, leaving
the remaining two to say whether the
room should be used by the students
/ TINS year or not. Before these two
made any decision one of them left
town for an extended stay, and the
girls are now fearing that they will not
see thelf faYorite sport in their own
toWn this winter. To say that many
OF them feel provoked, is putting it
lightly, for an air of disgust prevails
in the corridors whenever the subject
of basket ball is preached.

BLANCHE TABOR
Missing from Spencer Under
Singular Conditions.

Spencer Dec. 1O.-Blanche Tabor, the
oldest daughter of Edwin A.. Tabor, is
missing. Her whereabouts tonight is
unknown, and her parents are filed
with anxiety over their daughters dis
appearance. About three weeks ago,
Arthur Gates of Providence, who dur
ing the past summer was stationed
with the artillery at Newport, paid a
short visit to his uncle, William A.
Barr of Pleasant street. Mr. Barr is
the owner of a large heel shop on Wall
street, in which Miss Tabor is en-
ployed, having worked there about a
year.
While Mr.. Gates was on a tour of in
spection through the factory, one day,
he became acquainted with Miss Ia
Dor, and from that time on, seemed to
| be infatuated with the pretty Spencer
girl. During his whole stay in Spen-
1 Ger. he paid Miss Tabor much atten-
/ ton, and after leaving town, has cor
responded regularly with her. A day
/ or two ago Miss Tabor received a let
ter from Providence from her young
gentleman friend, inviting her to come
to worcester last night, there to meet
Mr.. Gates and attend the theatre Mr.
and Mrs. Tabor thought this was all
right, and gave to their daughter per-
mission to attend the theatre, suppos-
| ing, of course, that she would return
last night. She did not put in an ap-
pearance. however, and up to tonight
mas not been heard from. The parents
/ naturally were worried about
Blanche strange disappearance and
consequently this morning a message
was sent to Providence to see if they
could locate Mr.. Gates.
Answer was sent back that Mr.. Gates
was also missing, having left Provi-
denee yesterday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs Tabor cannot account for This
strange conduct, and are in great hopes
that their missing daughter will soon
come home. Miss Tabor, the missing
glrl, is about II years of age, about 5
feet inches in height, and very at
tractive. She is a brunette When
she left town last night, she wore a
plue cape and black skirt. Miss Ia
Dor comes from one of the incest fani-
hes In town. Mr.. Gates is also A
stunning looking young man. being
about feet 10 inches in height veigh7
ion,
This is the second time Miss Tabor
mas made a sudden disappearance from
Town. leaving town Unexpectedly last
summer at that time being found in
ware. IL was thought at that time
nevertheless, that Blanche gor enoTIob
of running away, and would not trv if
again. Mr. Gates influence probably
proved too much for the young lady
however, and led her astray.

day and that the port has been seriously
damaged. The foreign war ships have land~
ed sailors to reinforce the British garrisons
and pumps have been landed to assist in
quenching the flames. According to tele~

They were frequently heard yelling out to
organizations will proceed in the morning
each other. and they did not hesitate to
break ranks for greetings. Some men met
during the parade to-day who had not met
since they were mustered out over thirty
years ago. Among the spectators were
many Of the old Confederate Morgan
raiders who crossed the Ohio river and
marched all around Cincinnati and through
southern Ohio during the war. There were
also many Confederates here who were with
General Kirby Smith when he marched
over the Kentucky hills within sight of this
city. At that time the Queen City of the
West was as badly alarmed as Santiago
during the recent campaign 1t was not
SO to-day. What were known in the war
as the "Ohio squirrel hunters" came march
ing into Cincinnati by thousands to protect
the CITY, Most of them were armed with
guns that had hung over their doors for
years. and some of these weapons were not
dangerous even for squirrels. AS the
boys in blue and those in gray mingled to-
gether they laughed over the raid on Gin
cinnau as well as Morgan's raid, but in
reviewing other experiences they were re-
minded Of suffering and the loss of beloved
comrades.

proven a formidable opponent to Shaw, the
name of Gen. D. E. Sickels is freely used
In that connection. Sexton, of Illinois, has
been regarded as favorite in the race for

How the Parties Are Lined Up.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Sept. T.
Most of the delegates to the State conven-
tions of the Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republic ans which open tomorrow, are on
the ground tonight The fight this morn
ing between two factions of the Silver Re-
publicans seems to have made certain split
in that party, and two conventions has inl-
proved the chances for the fusion on the
State ticket between Democrats, Populists
and a part of the Silver Republicans. There
will be some difficulty in the distribution of
the offices, as each party is anxious to name
the head of the ticket and other candidates.
The Silver Republicans who recognize as
state chairman James II. Blood, National
Chairman Towne's appointee, and who are
regarded as followers of Senator Teller, are
said to have agreed upon Frank c. Goudy
as their candidate for Governor. The Dem
ocrats are divided between the present Gov
ernor, Alva Adams, and Charles S. Thomas.
With the Populists it is said Judge Thomp-
son, of the Court of Appeals, is the favorite.
The opera house, where the Silver Repub-
lican convention is called, is now in the
hands of the followers of Chairman Broad.
who was deposed by National Chairman
Towne yesterday, and they are guarded
with an armed force. This faction is op-
posed to fusion with the other silver parties
and will unquestionably nominate a full
ticket

OUR LIST OF KILLED.
Thirty-Three Officers and 231 Men
Lost in War with Spain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE official
records Of the War Department, as far as
completed, show that there were thirty
three officers and 231 enlisted men of the
army, 264 in all, killed in battle during the
war with Spain. These casualties include
all the lives lost by the army in the battles
in the Philippines as well as those in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The percentage of officers
killed is strikingly large, and is said to be
unprecedented in the battles of the world.
The contrast is especially striking in the
case of the battle of Omdurman where, al
though the loss of life was heavy, the list
OF killed included only one officer of the
British army.
The wounded, 1880. The estimate of
those killed by disease is placed at 1900.
Lives lost in navy and marine corps: Of
hcers killed in battle, /; men killed in bat
tie, 13; men drowned, l; men wounded, SO;
