Broke Up in a Row.
Keene Saturday Came TO an End In
the sixth Inning.

Ball Game Between HlnsdaIe and
Ksene Saturday Came to an End In
the sixth Inning.
The ball game between Hinsdale and
Keene Saturday came to an end in the
sixth inning in a disgraceful row. The
contest was very prettily played, and would
have been extremely interesting but for the
constant kicking of the visitors, who began
chewing the rag on the first ball pitched,
and who soon had a well-defined case of
lint on the lungs The attendance was
large, at least 500 people being present.
An extra train brought over 800 rooters
from keene. The only run was scored by
Morrison in the first inning, who reached
first when kenney was forced at second,
stole second and came home on Shea's sin
gle heene got a man on third base once.
The trouble in the sixth inning came when
Higgins Of keene was run down between
umpire, said after Higgins was caught that
Ferry, the Hinsdale pitcher, had made a
balk, and that Higgins was entitled TO take
the base. This started a wordy war which
resulted in the ending of the game Quin-
Ian, the Keene umpire, and Young, the
Hinsdale umpire, were at loggerheads as
well as the players and supporters of the
two teams. Young declared the game to
0 in Hinsdales favor, while Quinlan's an
nouucement of the result was 9 to in
favor Of Keene Hot words were ex-
changed and few blows struck. A spec
tator, whose name was unknown, struck
Pitcher Ferry in the eye, surrounding the
optic with mourning. The presence Of the
police probably prevented a serious disturb
ance. Two or three very aggressive per-
sons were taken in charge by the officers,
but were released without hearing, The
score.

HINSDALE, N. H.

and Accepted Masons, and in his life he
personifed the precepts Of the Golden Rule.
He gave largely in charity, but so unos-
tentatiously that his gifts were seldom
known. He aided largely in advancing
the public schools and establishing a town
library. 1t was in a great degree due to him
that the town possessed for 90 years one of
the finest town halls in the state, and be
contributed largely of his private means
that nothing might be lacking in its com
pleteness, and since its destruction by fire.
though not one of the building committee,
he has taken deep interest in rebuilding the
town hall and made many valuable sug.
gestions
In his religious views Mr. Amidon was
very liberal, but accorded to every man
the privilege of thinking as he pleased.
For himself he demonstrated by his life
work that be believed in living wisely and
well and it was his chief desire to be num-
bered as lone who loved his fellow men.
The sharp sense of personal bereavement
will pass away, the ranks will close up and
new men will take the place of those now
rapidly passing away, but it will be long
before Hinsdale will again be called to
mourn the death of so good, generous and
noble a man and public-spirited a citizen.
The body Of Mr.. Amdon will lie in state
in the front hall of the a midon residence
on Main street from 11:30 to 1870, today,
Friday, so that all who desire may view the
remains. The funeral services will take
place at l p. NJ, Rev NJ. H. Harris of Wor-
cester conducting the religious services
f. H. Miller of Brattleboro will sing. The
funeral is not private, but all who desire
will have an opportunity to attend the SER
vices. The post-office will be closed by or
der of the government during the services
The burial will be in the family lot in Pine
Grove cemetery

1t ldoes not appear that the loss of her CO.
onial possessions has ruined Spain by any
means. For years the lberian empire was
drained of her young men and had to pay
500, ZOO, 900 annually to retain her colon
les. The strain upon her home resources
was so great that the people were taxed to
death. Now, according to a Spanish inan-
cial journal, Spain is progressing more
rapidly than it has at any time within the
last century. The government loan of
5000, 100000 was oversubscribed three
times. Industries which have been DOR
mant for years are being revived, and cleo
trio traction is making its way into Span
ish cities. Spain is still receiving large
share of the products of what were once
her colonies, and is buying heavily of ma
chinery from the United States.

Everybody knows that this is Il e
last day of the nineteenth century
and all of our readers know that this
is probably the last issue of the I ELE-
GRAM to be published in the year Of
1900. Nevertheless it is the custom
among newspapers to announce these
facts, probably to provide against the
emergency Of some Of their clientele
have slept over day or there may be
some other reason. Anyway it is
custom and the old rut must be
respected. The ending Of GEN.
fury is not very common occur
renee and it's singularlty leads
a person to feel that he must properly
celebrate the occasion. If he were
asked the reason he could not tell you.
Probably he would say that he owed
it to patriotism. Still he must know
that his country hasn't got a cinch on
this business. They are all going to
have new century when their time
comes and they will all get their share
Of the glory sometime during the "a
hours after the sun first begins to pay
off the debt that it owes to the world,
and each meridian will step up to take
on its new wear as RAPIDLY as the one
in front Of it can get its own put on.
So we cannot see any particular rea.
son for patriotic rejoicing, but we do
hope that the century about to be-
gin will see as many changes for the
betterment of civilization as this one
has, and we extend to each and every
one of our readers a sincere wish that
you will enjoy prosperous and happy
New Year.
