Decoration Day, 1900," was made
memorable by the towns baseball con-
tingent winning two games from
Mcversdale.
The young MarylanderS," of this
place played the Juniors on the
latter'S grounds and won by score Of
IL to 3.
The Scorer writes:
Oder pitched for the "Y. MS, striking out
II men in innings.
Bone gave him handsome support behind
the bat, and the boys in the field and on the
bases played a creditable game.
The afternoon game began at 3 o'clock,
but long before that hour the rooters
came trekking III and got themselves i'll
tune to whOop things up. The Frost
burg crowd lined up along the first base
line to the number of several hundred.
They came from Salisbury, Grassy Run,
Keystone, Shaw, Mcyersdalc, and every
mine i'll the region.
Again ''The Scorer writes:
They were representative Frostburg crowd
ready to applaud good play o either side
They wanted a fair fight and no favors, but
the way they cheered and encouraged the
boys IRON the old home place helped the
latter on to victory.
The Meyersdale crowd took the other side
along the third base line aud. though greater
in number, they lacked the genuine ELI
thusiasm displayed by the Frosburg rooters.
The game abounded in good plays by both
teams The Meyersdale boys, however, failed
to hit the ball with their old-time regularity,
owing to William Spates good pitching.
Will. had all that goes to make great twlrler
speed, change of pace, slow ball, and the
full repertoire of slants and bends known to
the craft. David Williams, catcher, gave him
excellent support. Besides, he hit the ball
hard, often and played his usually good game.
For Meyersdale Mamie" Riley was on the
slab and his in-anrout shoots were hit hard
and often. Rae played his usual good gam
behind the bat though his batting was little
weak
The score was IL to 5 in Frostburg's favor.
Charles Thomas, of Meyersdale, and Will
liam Jack, of FrOstburg, umpired and gave
general satisfaction.
To manager T. N. Hay and the proprietor
of the Hotel Stein the boys return thanks for
excellent treatment while in Meyersdale.
TO day Saturday the club goes to Romney
to play game with the Potomac Academy
team. AS this is Decoration Day in that
locality and gene al holiday, great crowd

pany of Acceptance of Its Bid of

The contract for the construction OF the
new wooden wharf at Bremerton was
awarded yesterday to the Puget Sound
Bridge and Dredging Company, of this
city. The work will cost the government
s26s70. an amount less than one-half the
$4,000 appropriated for the purpose by
congress
The navy department has been severely
criticized for adopting plans for a wharf
so much smaller and less expensive than
was the intent OF the appropriation. 1t
is supposed. however. that the wharf will
be large enough 10 meet the needs OF the
station for some time to come, and that
an effort will be made to divert the re-
mainder of the available funds to other
harbor improvements.

partmem yesterday morning notifying

Bondinr and Trust companv aeaInst w
II. Jay. and ordered that there be a re-
ceiver appointed. IL is believed that A.

ing company In self protection, as IL all
legged that the defendant jay, who has
been constructing some government
buildings at Fort Flagler. was not con-
Quoting his business affairs in safe
manner The company believed that II
Jay was allowed to continue the work

yesterday was In the matter OF making
the appointment permanent.

worked steadily and without suspicion
until the afternoon Of the 18th instant. By
the merest accident clerk saw him make
certain erasures in the clearing house
sheet, and. while he thought this unusual,
said. nothing about Il 10 anybody until
shortly after 4 o'clock. BY that time AL
word had gone. but II was expected that
he would return, as he had some work TO
finish.
When Alvord failed to return. the clerk
who had seen him make the erasures.
Assistant cashier Backus The latter.
without suspecting that anything was
wrong, looked over Alvord's balance, and
soon found several discrepancies He was
on the point of leaving matters for AL
words adjustment when he decided to
make a further examination and soon
saw that many Items had been deliber-
ately falsihed
BY this time the suspicious of the as
sistant cashier had become very much
aroused All the high officials Of the
bank had gone for the day, but meeting
a number OF clerks, Mr.. Backus went
hurriedly over the note teller's books,
and. In a few moments. had overwhem-
Ing proof OF Alvords guilt.
Mr.. Hine did not say how Alvord learned
that he was under suspicion. but he CON
tirmed the report that the note teller re-
turned to the bank early on Thursday
evening and, seeing others at work on
his books, realized that he had been dis
covered
Avord had not been under surveillance
up to that time, although II has been said
that he was suspected early as the 18th
instant. The bank officials are convinced
that he did not go to his home the night
OF the 18th. end they are also convinced
that he has not been there since the
morning of that date.
Aivord's crime came to light exactly
three days after the national bank ex-
aminers completed their examination.
While the First National bank officers adj
init that Alvords wrongdoIng is in no
degree the result of any laxity on the
part Of the examiners, yet they seem
somewhat annoyed at what they regard
AS misrepresentation on the part of those
attached to the Office of the comptroller
OF the currency at Washington.
