Gossip.

Spencer. Aug. 10.-The Main street
clerks are justly indignantbecause their
brother clerks employed on Mechanic
and Chestnut streets will not play again
unless the game is played for money,
a purse of $50 and $25 being put up by
each side. The representative of The
Spy called upon many of the Main
ion that to play for money would be
unsportsmanlike.
Daniel " Crimmins, one Of the best
players, and one of the most infiuen-
tial clerks on the Main street team,
said: 1--WE do not see any reason why
we should play for money. / don't see
why the Mechanic and Chestnut streets
should speak of such a thing. They
claim that they have beaten us six out
of seven years. l don't remember of
their beating US only three times. The
Main streets didn't refuse to play
second game when they won; in fact,
they played three games and then the
Chestnut streets were satisfied

The Springfield Union speaks coed
hard sense when it nails the false
statements of one Of its mugwump con-
temporaries, charging the Associated
Press with coloring it's dispatches to
suit the interests of the republican
party. Such a course would be suicidal
for news bureau which serves almost
every democratic journal in the coun-
try. Even the old United Press, whose
demise the mugwump sheet mourns so
much and whose clientele came far
nearer being exclusively republican.
would not have attempted such policy
as that alleged.

YESTERDAYS WEATHER.
An Old Sailor Said it Was Disaereeable
and Everybody Agreed.

and Everybody Agreed.
There was an old-time sailor in Wor
cester yesterday. He shivered his
timbers. reefed his topsails and looked
lugubrious.
'"Tis nasty weather." he said as he
gave his suspenders a twitch.
The crowd that was taking account
Of the ball scores in front of The Spy
bulletin board agreed with him. 1t was
one of the worst days in the weather
line that Worcester has experienced
during the present year.
And the rain it drizzled, drizzled,
And humidity it sizzled,
And the mercury, it cried Hal hal I
think I'll climb the tube.
But the rain. it simply spattered,
And to the gang 1t chartered,
| may not suit you fellows, but think
I'll suit the Rube
And 1t did suit the farmer for his
potato stalks simply sucked in the wet
and whatever might be the opinions of
mankind unprotected with an ulnbrel-
la, the crops seemed to enjoy the con-
slant drizzle
1t wasn't much to speak of In the
way of weather. The maximum in the
tube was ga and the minimum 81, at &
o'clock last night. There was rain
falling from 11.30 to 6, and in that time
nine-tenths of an inch fell.

A BIG BLOW OUT.

Notes.
A FRIGHT FOR LEICESTER.

Leicester, Aug. 10.--A loud explosion
frightened the employees at the George
w. Olney WOODEN Company's shop at
z o'clock this morning. The cylinder
head of the 150-horse power Corliss en-
CINE had blown out The machine was
practically new, having been bought
only about two years ago.
James R. Singleton, the engineer, was
just going into the engine room when
he heard kissing noise. Realizing
something was wrong, he hurried back
and was not injured by the flying frag-
ments of the cylinder. The bolts which
held the cylinder were broken, and the
piston rod sprung. heavy brick par
tition and a number Of oil barrels broke
the force of the explosion so that no one
was injured, and little damage done to
anything besides the engine. The heat
of the escaping steam was so intense
that the automatic sprinklers were
started and the room was flooded. The
employees Of the mill were sent home
after the crash
Robert s. Olney, of the firm, said to-
day the machine would be repaired as
soon as possible, and that it was hoped
the plant would be running again by
Monday. He could not say what caused
the accident.
A fifth child Of Henry Hill of Clegg
street, Valley Falls. was taken to the
isolation hospital today A son, Err
nest, is the last to be transferred to
the hospital for treatment for scarlet
fever. Arthur Hill. another child, has
been working at the Valley wooden mill
right along, but was sent home and
told TO keep away this morning. The
cause of the epidemic cannot be as
cribed to the muddy and stagnant con-
dition Of the mill stream, which flows
through Cherry Valley. The cottage
where the Hills live is situated on Clege
street, on hill high above Main street.
Hhe stream is below Main street on the
opposite side.
A child Of an elder daughter of Mr.
Hill recently died of the dread disease
and some of the children, so 1t is said
attended the funeral. The mother paid
visit to the family, and 1t is supposed
brought contagion with her.

A QUIET WEDDING.
A Prominent Elk and Clubman Takes
Bride.


Bride.
Auspicious occasion, inauspicious
weather.
Yet, for all that, even though condi-
tons might have equalled those of a
summer sea in the golden tropics, a
prettier wedding could not be wished
for than that of T. j. Hurley and Miss
M. Ella Cashel, in the Church of the
immaculate Conception, at o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
Bride and groom are we'll known in
business circles. He is a successful
master printer at SO and A Front
street. She is member of the firm
of Cashell & Leydon.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
rain was pouring down in torrents
when the bridal party arrived, the
church was well filled with friends and
lrelatiVes. The groom, with the off,
ciating clergymen, was in the vestrv.

Before the bridal party reached the
altar, and while the organ was still
pouring out the soul of music. the
groom, t. j. Hurley, came out from the
lvestry and met his bride.
Seldom has prettier picture been
presented to emblematize marriage. 1t

uation was enhanced all the more nv

ground.
Inc ceremony was performed by Rev.
Robert Walsh, pastor of the church
assisted by Rev. FIR. McKechnie and
Rev. FIR. Lunney of ST. Paul's. The
bride was given away by her father
There was no effort at elaboration. The
ceremony was simple and beautiful.
The nride was attended by Miss
Hllnore ORegan, her sister, and the best
man was d. I. Sullivan of Bangor
Me-, a nephew of the groom.
The bride was attiIed in tunic grey
crepon over taffeta silk of the same
shade, trimmed with steel and cream
passementerie
The bridesmaid wore pink Swiss
muslin trimmed with val lace. She
wore Gibson hat
The ceremony over, the party drove
to the home OF the bride, Z Bismarck
street, where Rebboli laid covers II
was notable fact that the Rev. Robert
Walsh, for the second time since he
assumed the pastorate of the Church
Of the immaculate Conception, attended
a wedding reception.
1t was the intention to make the
wedding an exclusively family affair
aEd only the immediate relatives of the
parties were present. Among those
from out of town were Mrs. William
p. Lewis and Miss Elizabeth Hurley of
Meriden, Conn, and Miss Margaret
Hurley of Bangor.
The presents were numerous and cost

married people have been so fortunate
