BASKET BALL.

The Normal School Team went to
Danville Monday evening and de-
feated the team of that city in a very
exciting game. The Danvllle papers,
however, claim victory for their boys,
as will be seen by the following &C.
count Of the game, taken from the
Danville Me7oS'
The game of basket ball, played
in the armory Monday night, between
the team of this city and the Blooms
burg State Normal School, brought
the victory around to Danville again.
1t was an old-fashioned game, in
which our boys were on their mettle
from start to finish. The Normal is
team with reputation second to
but few teams. They threw the first
goal last night and pitched into the
game with spirit and vim, which
showed that they meant to keep
ahead If possible. Danvi.le was right
on their heels, however, and they
were not able to score a point that
was not Immediately Offset by goal
from the home team. Thus the game
showed up as the closest and most
hotly contested in this city. AT the
end of the first half the score was s
to IN favor of Danville. 1t was un-
doubtedly owing to the fine team
work that the victory last night Was
won. The audience, which was a
large one, went nearly wild with ex
citement, and the applause which was
showered upon the home team, as one
by one they scored their brilliant
points, was deafening. During the
second half Sechler was obliged to
retire, owing to slight injury. Both
Sechler and Seidel at defense won ad-
miratlon by their cunning tactics,
which effectuaily prevented their big
antagonist from scoring, although in
stature, he was a giant compared to
either of them. The line up:

REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
". o. Holmes Nominated for President
Other Nominations.

The Republicans of Bloomsbury
met in annual caucus, for the purpose
of naming ticket to be voted for at
the Spring election, in the Town Hall,
Friday night. The attendance, like
that of the Democratic caucus, held
the week before, was very large.
About the only Office for which any
fight was made was that of Justice of
the Peace, and the result of the vote,
when announced by the tellers, Gre
ated no little surprise among the
party leaders. The other nominations
were made in routine order.
II. A. MKillip called the meeting
to order and stated that he was ready
for the nomination of chairman
Sam H. Harman was chosen, and
welded the sceptre of authority.
John V. Logan and w. S. Rishton
were elected secretaries.
The first to receive consideration
was a person for President of Town
Council. w. o. Holmes was named,
and having no opposition, was nomi-
mated by acclamation.
For Members of Town Council
there were four candidates before the
caucus, namely: w. l.. Demaree,
Theodore L. Smith, J. S. Blue and
Matthias Faust. The tellers appointed
to receive and count the vote were
Robert Runyon and Samuel Pursel.
The result showed the first three to
be the choice of the caucus, the vote
being II3, $50, I29 and or.
Then came the Justice of the Peace
fight. c. w. McKelvy, r. H. Ring
ler and c. c. Yetter were named in
rapid succession. The chair appoint
ed Robert Young and Howard Patter-
on tellers. 1t was very evident to
anyone who heard the whisperlngs of
the ring members that Yetter was not
their choice. But his early announce
ment for the place, and his indomit-
able pluck and energy displayed in
getting the younger element out to
the meeting, was too many for the OLD
party leaders, and he won out. The
vote as announced was Yetter S.
McKelvy 81 and Ringler 81.
John w. Gibbs was nominated fol
Constable over VIM. Dietterick by a
vote of us to 10.

MONEY OR MARBLES.
jefferson Can Be Accommodated at Any
Time BY Qunapcxet.

Quinapoxet, June 16.-Manager Brown
of the H. H. S. b. B. A. wishes to say
through The Spy that he is ready to
meet Manager Burnett of Jefferson Vic
tors, any time and arrange a game of
ball for love- money or marbles. AL
though the Jefferson Victors played
some ut-of-toWn men in Saturday
June 10, game, yet Manager Brown does
not consider them hired players, as
Burnett named his men a week before
the game, and played no other men eX-
cept Taylor, and it was agreed between
the captains to allow him to play right
field. The high schools are confident
they can defeat the Jeifersons, and to
show it, they will play for $40 side.
The high schools have defeated three
Jefferson teams this season, and think
they can defeat any team in Jefferson
of their age, but cannot defeat Jeffer-
son and DaWsons combined. La Duke
and Connors, the battery of the Jel[er-
son Victors, have signed to play with
the jefferson first team, but the nigh
schools are not in their class. The
average age of the school boys is only
l6 years.

MILL BURNED DOWN,
The Moulton Brothers
Suffer a Big Loss
at Rutland.
IT WAS AN old HISTORIC SITE.
Many Buildings Burned
Within Past Century
and a Half.

Rutland, June ia satinet MILL
owned by Moulton Bros. of North Rut-
land, was totally destroyed by fire be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock last night.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Ad
olson Childs at 9.15 O'clock and in less
than 20 minutes the entire building
was consumed The loss is between
$4,000 and $4,000. Insured on machinery
stock and buildings, $780, through the
agency of N. A. Harrington of Worces-
ter.
This mill had been completed
within a few months, and was in good
running order. It employed about a
dozen hands and turned out $500 yards
of cloth per week. The machinery in
this mill was some that had been TAX
en- from the Lakeside mills in Leicester,
and was bought from the city of Wor-
cester by the Moulton Bros.
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated, for there had been no fire in the
building for over seven hours.
The mill is run entirely by water
power. This is the fourth mill that has
been burned on this site, which is on
the east bank of the Ware river. 1t
has been used as a mill privilege for
over $50 years. 1t is known as the old
Peter Davis mill. NJ R. Moulton,
father of the brothers who carry on
the mill, rebuilt the dam in 1861. After
the war Cyrus Homer built a new
grist and flour mill, which was shortly
afterwards burned.
Several years later O. w Roberts
bought the mill and opened manu-
factory of boxes. This mill was also
burned. Mr. Roberts rebuilt it again
and shortly afterwards sold out to Mr..
Whiting, who continued the manufac-
ture of boxes for three years, and the
mill was again destroyed by fire.
The Moultons then came into pos
session of the property, and soon
erected the mill which was burned
last night. All that was saved from
the mill was the main belt, 200 yards
of cloth, one box of loomfXers' tools
belonging to J. Warren MoultOn.
Besides the damage done to the town
hall as stated in this mornings Spy,
lightning struck in four or five other
places, damaging only a few trees. In
a pasture owned by Walter Hunter,
lightning struck a heifer and killed
her.

WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar to their sex should write to DR.. Pierce
and receive free the advice of physician
of over thirty years experience-a skilled
and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has
the most careful consideration and is, of
course, regarded as sacredly confidential.
Many sensitively modest women write fully
to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local
physician is pretty sure to say that he car-
not do anything without an exanina-
ton" DR.. Pierce holds that these distaste-
full examinations are generally needless,
and that no woman, except i'll rare cases,
should submit to them.
DR.. Pierce's treatment will cure you
right in the privacy of your own home.
His "Favorite Prescription " has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them
the worst imaginable cases. 1t is the
only medicine of its kind that is the pro-
duct of regularly graduated physician.
