secure more spacious and comfortable
quarters of their own. In the future
it is the intention to furnish a lunch
room in connection with the building.

The Interstate crackajacks made
their final appearance for this season
at the Island park yesterday afternoon.
The attendance was shamefully small.
The game was fast, and much better
played than an inspection of the error
column would lead one to suppose. The
chances upon which the visitors fell
down were difficult ones, with the ex-
ception of muffs by Connors and bad
throws by Fox. The Nailers were
towed to victory by "Bumpus" Jones,
who was in fine form, and would have
shut the visitors out but for gift to
Smith in the eighth. Smith was very
effective, but could not have won, even
with better support.
Wheeling did not connect safely IN
til the fourth, when Connors muffed
Taylor's fly, Billie reaching second.
Congalton singled, but was doubled up
by Lyons, Taylor scoring on the play.
In the next inning Lyle drove dou-
BILE along the left field foul line, reach
ed third on an error by Lawney, and
scored on Ritter's infeld hit. With
two out in the sixth Cockman reached
first on a tumble by Turby stole sec
ond, and. scored ON a very bad throw
to third by Fox. The victory was
c1inched in the ninth. Cockman drew
a base on balls, but was forced by Poole
in an attempted sacrifice. Fox threw
wild to catch Poole, playing off first,
and Eddie went around to third. Pop"
Lytle sent a fly ball back of second.
Flourney made a hard run, failed 10
get it, and before the ball was recover
ed and fielded Poole had crossed the
plate and Lytle had reached third. Rit-
ter's clean single brought in Lytle.
Mansfield played in hard luck in the
second, when they drove out three sim
giles and failed to score a run. Flour
ney led off with hit, but was doubled
up by Reiman. Fox and Lawney sin
gled, but Smith retired the side on
fly to Lyle. Mansfeld's only run was
made in the eighth. Smith was given
a base on balls, and advanced on Kee-
mans out at first McVey singled to
left field and Smith came in from Sec

mand for tonnage is SO great, is regard
ed as one of the worst features OF the
disaster from a business standpoint.
In the business portion of the city
the damage cannot be even approx
mately estimated. The wholesale
houses along the Strand had about
seven feet of water on their ground
floors and all window panes and glass
protectors of all kinds were demolish-
ed. The top of the Moody Bank build
ing was blown away and the fixtures of
every house on this long business thor
oughfare was destroyed.
On Mechanic street the water was al
most as deep as on Strand. All pro-
visions in the wholesale groceries and
goods on the lower floors were satu-
rated and rendered valueless. The en-
CINE house Of the fremont hotel was
caved in by the falling smoke stack.
The damage to the hotel building will
amount to $4,000. The power house
of the street railway company was de-
stroyed and the loss on machinery and
building is estimated at $4,000 There
are no wires of any sort standing. They
are lying in tangled masses across the
streets and will have to be cleared
away before horses and vehicles can
move ABOUT.

The report from Lock No. 2 for last
month shows that traffic has decreased
very much compared with other
months earlier in the year, and with the
same month last year. The reason as
signed for this is the light traffic down
the Ohio river during the past month,
caused by the very low stage of water.
