SECOND IN SERIES.
City Hall Employees to Play Another Game
of Base Ball at Sutton Lane Today.

The second in a series of ball games
between the city sewer and engineering
department base ball teams has been
scheduled for this afternoon at 2.30
o'clock on the Sutton Lane grounds.
The make up of the two teams will be
practically the same as in the previous
game, when the engineers came out
ahead. Superintendent Eddys men
will be reinforced today by Harry Dad
nun, who will play centre field, and
who, providing he succeeds in reaching
first base is sure to make the circuit,
according to the anticipation of his
friends.
Gilbert, who played short stop for the
engineers in the previous game, will De
unable to take part today owing to an
accident which happened to him few
days ago. Aside from changes in the
make up of the two teams, there is to
be a new umpire. Clarence e. Jaeger,
who officiated in the first game, carries
no accident insurance, and when the
matter of umpiring today's game was
preached to him, decided that he was
going to be out of town over Sunday and
would be obliged to decline the honor.
A good man has been secured, how
ever in the person of "Midge" Gala
CHER, who has consented to chance it,
relying on his sprinting ability in case
the argument becomes too warm.

SAW NOTHING WRONG.
Book Agent Warren Explains and Chief
brennan Lets Him Go.

Chief of Police James NJ. brennan
had an interview yesterday with NJ. A.
Warren, who is local agent for bio
graphical publishing company of 10
Court square, Boston. Warren has
been in Worcester for a number of
weeks selling books for SIS each. The
chief has received a number of COM
plants from different people about the
man, and some claimed that he had in
his possession fraudulent contracts
with their names signed, which read
that they agreed to purchase a book
entitled the Biographical Review"
Mr.. Warren explained his method of
procedure to the chief, and showed
thar every contract he had in possess
sion was true as far as he knew. He
said that c. A. Hoppin Of Worcester,
who was agent for the Review in WOr-
cester, when it was being gotten up,
had secured contracts for books from
300 widows at the rate of SIS each, in
addition to securing names of countless
other people. E. G. Higgins, of the E.
G. Higgins Wall Paper Company,
called on the chief yesterday, and said
that the contract with his name signed
was forgery. The chief could see moth
ing wrong with Mr.. Warren, and he
was allowed to depart. He left one of
the books with the chief

HOLYOKE is READY.
City Filling Up With
Many Expectant
Visitors.
A GREAT PROGRAM ARRANGED.
Presidential Party Will Re-
ceive an Ovation from
a Vast Crowd.
A GREAT PROGRAM ARRANGED.

Holyoke, June 16.-Final arrange
ments for the reception of President
William Mckinley and the other dis
tinguished members of his party, to-
morrow, have been completed and Hol
yoke will welcome the chief executive
of the nation in the true American
way, with martial music, gorgeous
decorations and visitors from all the
neighboring towns.
The city is rapidly filling up with
people anxious to do honor to the pres
ident. Already the hotels are over
crowded and many thousands are anti
cipated by the early trains tomorrow.
An air of expectancy is noticeable
everywhere tonight.
The streets are crowded and the
brilliancy of the summer gowns of the
ladies vie with the colors of the decora-
tons with which, it seems, every
building is trimmed. Flags, banners
and large protraits of the city's guests
meet the eye in every direction and the
arrangement in most cases is tasty and
distinctively appropriate.
The window decorations along the
main streets are of an intensely patri-
otto character, many figures of Column
bia and other emblems being used.
Prominent among the buildings in
beauty of decorations is the stately
city hall, upon which especial efforts
have been made
A large oil painting of Columbia, sur
rounded with flags and shields, is
placed over the entrance, and the
lavish use of flags, bunting and stream
ers makes the large stone building an
attractive sight, and the walks around
1t are crowded with people admiring
the scene.
The interest of the citizens of Hol-
yoke will centre in two events tOmor-
row-the arrival of the presidential
party, at II 10 in the morning, and the
parade and review by the president in
the afternoon.
The program for the next four days
comprises church services on Sunday
at Holyoke and South Hadley, visit
to Smith college at Northampton on
Monday, the graduation exercises at
Mt. Holyoke on Tuesday and the recep-
ton by the city of Springfield on We'd
nesday.
The presidential party will then go
to Adams by train on Wednesday af-
ternoOn to remain there the balance of
the week as the guest of w. B. Plum
kett. The weather indications for to-
morrow are very fair and there is eV-
cry prospect that the visit of Presi-
dent Mckinley will become an event
long to be remembered by it's citi-

STRICKEN AT CITY HALL.
Mrs. Julia A. Charles Found Unconscious
aid Taken to City Hospital,

Mrs. Julia A. Charles, 81 years old,
of g. Coburn avenue, was stricken with
apoplexy near the first floor entrance
of the city hall yesterday afternoon.
She was attended by a physician and
removed to the city hospital, where she
died about 645 o'clock last night.
How long the woman had been lying
where she was found, is not known.
Councilman Fred D. Johnson and his
wife entered the hall about 3 o'clock,
and as they reached the top of the steps
leading up to the balcony, saw her ly-
ing senseless on the stone floor just IN
side the doorway.
Charles f. Pierce, clerk of the school
committee, was passing through the
corridor and assisted Mr.. Johnson in
carrying Mrs. Charles into the build
ing. Mrs. johnson, assisted by young
ladies employed in the city hall offices,
did all they could to relieve her.
DR.. Frank j. Partridge of Al Pleasant
street was summoned and decided that
her illness was of a serious nature.
Stimulant was administered, and ev-
erything possible was done to bring the
sick woman back to consciousness, but
without avail.
Mrs. Lizzie F. Earle, who conducts
a store at 1877 Chandler street, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Charles, was notified, and
hurried to the scene, but her mother
was unable to speak to her. The po-
lice ambulance was summoned, and the
sick woman taken to the hospital, her
daughter accompanying her.
Mrs Earle was at a loss to know
why her mother should have visited the
city hall, unless it was for the purpose
of paying her dogs license. A few
daYS ago she remarked that the license
must he attended to, and that as she
had never been inside the city hail.
thought she would attend to the mat
ter herself and look over the building
at the same time.
Mrs Earle said that her mother APP
peared in her usual health during the
forenoon, and had not been i'll as far
as she knew, for seven years. Mrs.
Charles was a widow. and has made
her home with her daughter at Lake
View for a number of years.

Manila, June 16-4.45 p. m.-After
cutting the railroad and telegraph at
Apulit, seven miles south, for the pur-
pose of covering connection, the rebels
attacked Gen. MacArthur's lines at San
Ferindano at 4.3O this morning. They
met with an Unexpectedly warm recep-
ton and were repulsed with a loss of
rs killed, 80 prisoners and many
wounded.
The rebel force, estimated to have
numbered 5000 men. advanced stealthily
from the jungle north of the city and
then divided, with the evident purpose
of surrounding the Americans The
outposts of the Iowa regiment discov-
cred the enemy and retired to their
lines where the entire division awaited
in an intrenched position.
The Iowa and the Kansas regiments
received the first shock of the attack,
Reserving their fire until the enemy
was within 900 yards, the first Volley
of the Americans hit the rebels who
returned the fire the rest of their line
failing to advance. The Americans,
who thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of
lle SlludllOIl,f awaited dn dIldCNt Stlllich
forth, and the insurgents thereupon
turned and fled into the jungle.
Our loss wass14 men wounded ard the
majority of them are only slightly
hurt. Gen. Funstons brigade of Kan
sans and Montanans, and Gen. Hale's
brigade, the Seventeenth regiment and
the Iowa regiment constituted the
force engaged.
Aguinaldo is reported to have per-
sonally conducted the attack and pre-
paratiOns were made for several days
to bring forward troops from Cabada
and others from Dagupan were trans
ported by rail Along the front Of the
Kansas regiment 80 rebel dead were
counted
The first news of the Filipino adj
vance was reported by a telegraph op-
orator who was sent to the bridge at
ApaIit to ascertain the cause of break
in one of the wires. He was compelled
to beat hasty retreat under fire. A
Spanish officer, who has been prison
er in the hands of the rebels and who
was released by Aguinaldo, has come
through our lines to Manila.
He claims to have been a witness of
the assassination of Gen. Luna. Ac-
