important Real Estate Deal.

The lot on the corner of Main and
Appleton streets has been sold by DR..
f. c. Thayer to the Waterville Savings
Bank. This is one of the finest bust
ness lots in the city and contains some
$500 square feet The bank has bought
the land for the purpose of building a
fine business block. The plans have
not yet been matured. but when the
block is built it will be handsome
one. This will tend to draw more bust
ness towards the upper end OF the
street and will build ii up and increase
the value of other property in that vi
entity.
There seems to be strong demand
for more business blocks in the city
and some think that even with the
Flood and Pulsifer and this one now
proposed there will be room for more.
Others are said to be thinking of build
ing. 1t is probable also that Nat ROOF
will be put on the Drummond block
recently damaged by fire and this VIII
greatly improve the lower end OF the
street. The fine new brick blocks are
what the business street needs ana
they are going up at an encouraging
rate.

RHODE ISLAND METHODS

Insane persons by shifting them to

George Denny Of Portland. Me. who
was found wandering about Dunell1n,

Nj. Denny is a well educated and
~ has been subject to epleptic fits and
has been under treatment at Il number
az private institutions throughout the
East. He recovered sufficiently to go
about with an attendant. and then on
his own resources, but often the illness

Last week MIR. Denny says. he start

sister, living in Baltimore. He got as
Gar as Providence. r. l.. when he was
attacked with one of his fits. He was
picked up as crazy and removed to the
asylum.
After he had been there three or four
days, he says. he commenced to re-
cover. and on Friday morning he was
told by the officers in charge to get his
belongings. as they proposed taking
him away They still thought he was
cI1Zy. but he was rational enough to
see that they were contriving to get rid
of taking care of him. thinking he
would become Il charge on their hands.
Accordingly. he says, he got ready
anG upon asking where he was to be
taken. they told him on a boat ride.
The officials took Denny to Jersey city
and there put him on train. At the
first stop however, he says. thesman !

BASEBALL CHAT.
Games Will Come Tricky Tor the Remainder
o. This Month.

The local baseball season is drawing to
a close and things are going with rush
from now until the team disbands.
Waterville now has n very satisfactory
aggregation and it will probably not be
mach changed for the remainder OF the
season. The game with Bangor. yester-
DIV. was prevented by the rain, but
double header has been arranged for to-
dly Bangor has a game scheduled with
the Geralds for today and arrangements
have been made for playing Waterville
also. The game with the Geralds will he
played on the Fairfield grounds at >
O'Clock and that with Waterville on the
college field at 4 clock. This is the way
things were fixed with Houlton and now
il is up to Bangor to see if her team
can do as well as the Aroostookers.
The Pittsfeld team will be down for
game, Saturday. 1t is understood that
this team is being strengthened so that
it will be more of a match for Waterville
than in the first game. Pittsfield has
always been a red hot ball town, and If
the enthusiasts get stirred up they viii
be fit to beat somebody.
The other great Aroostook team and
rival of Houlton is coming down for
| try at teams in this vicinity. Caribou
will be here for game on the college
, field, Monday, August II. Then Wednes-
day and Thursday the Easterns will be
in town. The Geralds will, of course,
have a try at these teams, so that the
games will come pretty thick.
Waterville will go to Augusta. Friday,
/ August 16. to play game with team
which is being organized there The team
promises to be strong one and the
game with Watervile will be its first.
Augusta will play the return game in this
city the next day. Saturday, August Il.
This schedule will bring Waterville and
the Geralds pretty well up to August 20.
which will probably be the opening date
, for the championship series. The Gerald
mana cement has eagerly accepted Water
viles challenge and is all ready for the
tournament The teams will be selected
from any players who have worn the Ger
aid or the Watervile uniform in a game
this season previous to August 6. There
are probably 40 men who are eligible
uuGer this rule ard two strong teams can
be selected with an abundance of substi-
tutos. This condition is made simply to
bar out straight professional players. The
league season is drawing to a close now
and it would doubtless be possible to i'm
port some pretty fast men for either of
the teams and in this case the longest
pocketbook would win. But there are
enough players who have been with one
team or the other during the season for
two good snappy teams and the tourna
ment is sure to be a regular feast of
baseball.
The Geralds have now the lead in games
with Waterville and are pretty confident
of holding it to the close of the season.
Waterville has greatly improved and is
just as confident of winning out, SO
there you are. The managers of the
teams are now busy arranging the details
of the match and will soon have things
all arranged. it'll this solid week of
