ALL UP FOR THE WORCESTERS.
Webster Fans Are Hot At
ter the Scalps of Manag-
er Leonard's Farmers.

Webster, Aug, 23.-After sepa-
ration of 45 years, Pembrike Church
i'll and his youngest brother,
Eugene, have again had the pleasure of
once more clasping hands and renewing
acquaintance. 1t was long separa-
ton, but the meeting was made more
pleasurable by that fact
Both the brothers were born in Ar
cade, Wyoming county, N. Y, a small
town near Buffalo, of hale and hearty
parentage, The older brother drifted
east and married, while the other broth
er went west after the war.
The visiting brother fought with the
Third New York cavalry in the civil
war and was with Sheridan in several
OF his big battles.
After touring the country for a
While, Eugene purchased a stock farm
IN Bryant, Fulton county ILL.,, where he
devoted his time in raising horses for
the market That was a quarter of a
century ago.
AS the electric cars and bicycles have
almost killed the business, Mr.. Church
| III is gradually working out of the horse
line into raising a fine breed of horn
cattle, One of the horses that the Wis
ltor raised was valued at $4,000, but it
was killed by lightning striking his sta
bles couple of years ago.
MI, Churchill says the corn crop in
the west is good one this year. He
| mas planted 70 acres, which he expects
| VIII yield hundred bushels to the acre.
| The reason why the brothers had not
seen each other for so long a time is
because when one paid the old home
stead visit the other was not there.
FINALLY the younger brother decided to
come east and visit every relative he
could locate here. He left town today
for his western home.
Walter Goddard, the young son of
Emery GODDARD and wife OF Chase ave
nue., had narrow escape with his life
| To-Day. He was adjusting a belt on a
| pulley in his fathers sash and blind
| factory with a three-foot stick. when
the pelt caught the stick and sent 1t
| with fearful velocity out of the young
man hands when it struck him squarely
| IN the pit of the stomach. The pain was
intense and it was thought he was pain
fully injured, but no bones were broken
and as yet no internal injuries have de-
yeloped. Dr. c. S. Sargent was called.
| II the blow had been a couple of inches
| lower it would undoubtedly have killed
MN. A foot stick should have been
used, instead of the three foot one,
which was responsible for the accident.
Tomorrow comes the big game, Wor-
| cester, Eastern league, VS.. Webster. The
champion Websters have no fear of
Manager Leonards Farmers, and claim
they Will show them just one or two
points in the game.
1t is hoped here that Jack Lampe goes
| in for Worcester. Webster people have
| no particular grudge against the big
southpaw twirler, but at the same time
they think he's easy Probably Horton
| w ebster's faVorite-or Klobedanz will
| be in the box for them.
| webster will lire up on the diamond
| With the same old team. They got in a
lot of practice this afternoon. They in
| tend to put two of Worcesters pitchers
at least out of business. If Horton goes
| in they won't be so hard on him pro-
viding the game is dead sure, for Her
ky Jerky' is great favorite and they
don't want to spoil his reputation like
| they did Dad Clarke's.
With good weather, although all the
factories will be running and the stores
open, the grounds will be crowded.
The first invoice of the 200 cars of fax
from Russia has arrived here for the
| Stevens linen works. The fteight alone
cost 100000.
Miss Clarissa Keith, niece of Mayor
Quincy of Boston, who has been visit
ing Miss Ruth Tourtellotte for few
days, returned this morning.
Everything is progressing rapidly for
the muster next week. The big event
will bring thousands of visitors here.
Louis Moreau is the new porter at
! Hotel Dewitt.
The Webster bail team will play the
Milfords in that town next Saturday
| afternoon.
