The Home Team Had a Narrow
Escape From a Whitewash.
SECURED ONLY FOUR SAFE HITS
These Were so Widely Scattered as Not 10

EIGHT HITS SCORED BY VISITORS.

Worcester DIdths Same Trick With Springfield
Ponies Standing Of Eastern League.

Through their inability to bat Es-
pers curves the Providence Grays were
again beaten by the Hartfords at Ade-
laide Park yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing nine innings the home team secur-
ed only four safe hits and these were
so scattered that they were not effect
i've as run getters. Evans Nitched in
good form, but the Hartford twirler
had decidedly the best Of the argument
in the box. The visitors scored two
runs in the first innings after two men
had been put out. These runs were
scored on two safe hits, a double steal
and muff Of a fly by Murray. who
played in. the left field, in the absence
OF Lynch. In the second inning after
two hands had gone out on a double
play the home team scored on a hit by
Murray, followed by the only errors
Hartford made in the game. Hartford

Stuart, who stole second, went to third
on play that retired Urquhart and to
the plate on another infield play that
put out Esper. There was no more
scoring until the sixth, when with two
out three hits and base on balls were
punched for three runs. That made a
total of six runs for Hartford. and
Providence was at the mercy of Esper
after the second inning. The score:

SATISFACTORY TRIAL.
Old Defender Made a Fine Showing
In YESTERDAYS Run.
Rigging Stood Strain Well and New Steel
Mast Is All That Is Desired.

The Defender had her first spin yes
terday off Newport She was not out
long. but the wind blew a 20-knot
breeze and consequently she was sub
Jected to more OF test than If she
had been out a week in ordinary
weather.
w. Butler Duncan, Jr., who is in
charge of the yacht and who sailed
her. was delighted with the showing
she made.
She got under way, and 10 minutes
later her mainsail was set. Any
thought of spreading topsails was out
of the question. for the wind blew
hard. The Defender luffed up under
the stern of the battleship Texas, and
then, with all her canvas under her lee
bow, she squared away for Prudence,
about nine miles up the bay.
Many people from the shore and
wharves saw her off and marveled how
stiff she seemed under her new and
larger spread OF canvas.
At Rose island her jib was added to
her nsainsail and staysall. at which she
seemed to take on new speed.
She came down the bay with star
board tacks aboard. finally making
long and beautiful reach almost to her
anchorage.
Mr.. Duncan, in speaking of the run,
said tonight
I'VE went up the bay TO see how
our rTgg1ng would set. and were de-
lighted that such a stiff breeze was
blowing. The rigging seemed to be
perfectly adjusted. Nothing broke and
not even a rope loosened anywhere.
THE new steel mast also stood the
test well. but the wind was altogether
too heavy for topsails, so we cannot
tell how they will act till later on.
Observation was also made of the
work of the crew. and IL was entirely
satisfactory. They worked like veter-
ans"
AS n matter OF fact the Defender had
a very remarkable test and stood up
like a house She will not be taken
away from Newport for some time. as
Mr.. Duncan considers the waters about
here the very best for tuning-up pur-
poses.
Royal Phelps Carroll will bring the
Navahoe out I'm few days. and she will
be brought here at once TO race with
the Defender.

QUIET At SAMOA.
Mataafa Willing to Abide by the
Commissions Decision.
His Followers Have Been Disarmed and
Their Guns Surrendered.

Apia, Samoa, May 81. via Auckland,
June 6.-Malietoa and Tomasseo have
visited the members of the Samoan
commission. on boad the United States
transport Badger, and Mataafa visited
them the following day. Neither of
them was recognized as king. Mataafa
expressed willingness To abide by the
commissioners decision. and blames the
Europeans for the trouble here. The
commissioners informed him that they
had power to establish a government
with or without a king. Mataafa
though the Samoans should have a
king, but expressed willingness to dis
arm his followers and leave the mat
ter in the hands of the commission.
The Germans acted, for the first time
in many months, with the representa-
tives OF the other powers, and have Of
ficially sent a guard ashore.
The naval authorities and the mission
societies have submitted their views to
the commission and the latter by proc
lamation fixed May q as the date for
the natives to surrender their arms.
Mataafa, however, asked for an extern
sion of the time until to-day when he
surrendered 1900 guns on board the
Badger. The Malietoans are now dis
armed.

The commissioners are reticent. but
IL is understood they are considering
a reduction of the cost of the admin s.

treaty and that the number OF officials

DOVER BANKS HAVE
CLOSED THEIR DOORS.
COchecO Savings and CocheCo Ma
tiOnal Institutions i'm Trouble.
Treasurer Hough to Be Arrested.

Dover. N. H., June 6.-The financial
community in this section of the state
received another shock yesterday.
through the closing OF the doors of two
OF the beet known banks in this city.
The Cocheco Savings bank was enJoin-
ed from paying out or receiving money.
and warrant was issued for the ar
rest of its treasurer, Harry Hough.
who is charged with shortage of 3d.
500. The doors of the Cocheco National
bank were also closed, and National
Bank Examiner Carroll is temporarily
in charge.
While Hough was not an official of
the national bank. he acted as assist
ant cashier, did all the bookkeeping of
the institution, and had free access to
the documents. 1t is believed that
Treasurer Hough left the city for Bos-
ton on an early train Sunday morning,
but up to a late hour the officials OF
Strafford county have been unable 10
locate him.
While the warrant was sworn out for
Hough on the charge of a shortage of
$500 of the funds OF the savings bank,
that amount was drawn from the Staf-
ford Savings bank yesterday morning
by Treasurer Hough's wife, and paid TO
Trustee Mason, who turned It over to
the Cocheco Savings bank to sette the
shortage. This will not deter the coun-
ty officials OF both banks from securing
the arrest OF Hough, as he Is charged
with a shortage OF the national bank
funds.
The closing OF the banks caused con-
siderable excitement in the city, but
the depositors recognized the fact that
they could do nothing until the books
are examined and action is taken by
the courts. 1t was learned when notices
were posted on the bank doors. that
State Bank Commissioners Hatch.
Parker and Cummings were in this city
last Saturday and made an examina-
ton of the books OF the savings bank.
They learned that the accounts were
not straight, and after holding a brief
conference, Commissioner Cummings
applied for a warrant for the arrest OF
Treasurer Hough. A shortage OF sS500
was found. National Bank Examiner
Carroll says he is unable to say what
the shortage of the national bank will
be until after n full examination has
been made. Everything that has so
far come TO light places II at about
$1,000.
Mr.. Carroll made the discovery over
week ago that there was something
irregular in the accounts. and he has
been working on the case since that
time. Last Saturday he discoy cred a

shortage OF $500 In the savings bank
and $4,000 in the national bank ac-
counts. Hough was confronted with
the situation. and paid back $4,000. He
further agreed to pay the remaining
$500 of the national bank Monday
morning. This promise is the reason
why he was not placed under arrest
at that time.
The treasurers father Ralph Hough,
who rs one OF the directors OF the Ma
tional bank, says his son went 20 Bos-
ton for the purpose OF raising money
from brokers TO pay the shortage. and
he expected him TO return. The direc-
tors claim that they knew nothing of
the shortage until Saturday night,
when they were informed by the ex-
aminers.
Cashier Harrison Healey. OF the Ma
tional bank, said that Hough had full
access to the books OF the institution at
all times, as he acted as assistant CASH
Ter, yet he was not an official OK the
bank.
Mr. Haley says he knew Hough had
been specializing, and was also aware
OF the fact that there were worthless
checks in the bank, with no collateral
behind them. He called Hough's at
tention to the matter few days ago,
and he said he would make 1t all right,
as his relatives would assist him.
Hough's friends believe that he will re-
turn.

That nothing drives away:
Fierce lampiny eyes at nightfal.

There's whining at .ne Threshold.
There's scratching at the floor.
TO work! TO work! In heaven

The wolf is al The door!
The day was long the night was
short.
The bed was hard and cold.
Still weary are the little ones.
Still weary are the old.
We are weary in our cradles
From our mothers toll untold.
We are born to boarded WEAKNESS
As some to boarded gold.
We will not rise! We will not work!
Nothing the day can give
Is half so sweet as an hour of sleep:
Better to sleep than live!
What power can stir these heavy
1imbs:'
What hopes these dull hearts swell?
What fear more cold. what pain more
sharp
Than the life we know SO we'll:
TO die like a man by lead or steel
Is nothing that we should fear:
No human death would be worse to
feel
Than the life that holds lis here.
But this is fear that no heart can
A fate no man can dare
TO be run to earth and die by the
teeth
OF the gnawing monster there!
The slow. relentless, padding step
That never goes astray-
The rustic in the untlerbrush-
The shadow in the way
The stranng flight-the long pur-
The steady gain behind
Death wearied man and tireless brute,
And the struggle wild and blind!
There's hot breath at the keyhole
And a tearing as Of teeth!
Well do I know the bloodshot eyes
And the dripping jaw. beneath!
There's whining at the threshold
There's a scratching at the floor
TO work. TO work! In Heavens
name!
The wolf is at the door!
