Selma Wins Aqain.

Selma, May 17.-(special. )-selma de- feated Chattanooga before large crowd this afternoon by a score of 3 to 0. The game was one of the fastest and pret- tiest exhibition of ball playing that has ever been seen in Selma, and was full of brilliant fielding by both teams, but Frank easily carried off the honors. Bailey was in the box for the locals and pitched a fine game and was almost faultlessly supported. The two errors the Chattanoogas made did not cost anything. The visitors had men on third several times, but the side was always retired be- fore they could cross the plate.
 Selma started her run getting In the second inning, when she made two scores, and added one more in the fifth. A fast double play by Valdois Stouch and Pen der in the fifth inning retired the visitors when they had every chance to score. Following is the score by innings:

 To Begin at Once.
GOES THROUGH PENSACOLA

One of the largest coal contracts ever been booked by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, the purchasers being the Mexican Central Railroad. It Is for 150000 tons of coal and delivery is to begin at once and extend over a period of several months.
 Bidding for this contract, which Is one of the largest and most attractive that has offered in long time, were several Pennsylvania and West Virginia compan- ies, but 1t came to Alabama because of the better showing made by the Tennes- see Coal. Iron and Railroad Company.
 The coal will be shipped over the Louis vile and Nashville to Pensacola and thence by steamer to Tompico. Mexico, where it will be delivered to the Mexican Central road. The Tennessee company has supplied customers in Maxico with coal in the past, but this is by far the largest single order ever secured in that Coun- try
 The Mexican Central Railroad Is the most important railway system in the Re- public of Mexico, operating nearly 5000 miles of road. It's main line extends from the City of Mexico to Fl Paso, Texas, a distance of 1871 miles. It also has a line from Aguoscolientes to Tampico, a distance of 421 miles.
 This great railway system consumes annually several hundred thousand tons of coal and offers an inviting field to the operators who can place their product in it's territory.

Florence. S. C.. Nov. 2s. 1900

I was first advised by our family physi- clan in Charleston to use TEETHINE with our baby when she was but very young infant as a preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later it was useful in teething troubles, and it's effect has been found to be so very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard it, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there is a new baby in the house and until the teethng troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending 1t to our friends instead of the horrid stun that 50 many people use to keep their babies quiet.

Nashville at Birmingham
 Chattanooga at Selma
 Shreveport at Memphis.
 New Orleans at Little Rock.
 Birmingham is still ahead of New Or leans and therefore does not occupy last place in the pennant race. Nashville con tinues to lead with Shreveport a close second. while Memphis and Chattanooga are gradually dropping down the line.
 Nashville took the second game from Birmingham yesterday by hitting Brandt All over the field whenever he got his benders across the plate. He was wild, sending eight men to first on balls and hitting two others and of this number five crossed the plate. The locals made enough hits to win an ordinary game, but they could not overcome the lead Brandts wildness gave the visitors in the first two innings, the score finally result ing 1s runs for the visitors and for the home team.
 The features of the game were the base stealing of Leidy and Abbaticchio and the batting of the latter, he making two doubles and triple in four times up. Culver had an off day and made two bad throws to second which resulted in the runners taking an additional base. He is a hard player and is in the game from beginning to end, usually making accurate throws to the bases. It is sel- dom that a base is stolen on him, and his failure to put them over to second yesterday was excused by the fans who know that he is one of the best catchers in the League.
 Notwithstanding the one-sidedness of the score the game was interesting and at times exciting. Several brilliant plays were made and the spectators in every instance applauded the players, whether they were home boys or visitors.
 Umpire Ebright had a number of close decisions to make and several times the spectators thought he was giving the home team the worst of it, but in the main his work was satisfactory. He made Brandt split the plate and in that way was responsible for two or three of the bases on balls charged to the pitcher. Brandt worked hard to win his game, but did not seem able to control the sphere.

Old Bucksport schooner Lost.

The schooner "Amy Knight, OF Bucks
port, with fish for VinaIhsven from We
roma of Owls Head one night last week,
suddenly filled, and went down In sixty
fathoms. She will, with the effects OF the
crew, who hastily took the boat, be a to-
tai loss.
The "Amy Knight" was schooner OF
sixty.four tons net. She was built In
Msrblehead, Mass, in 1851, and was
brought to Bucksport by Capt. T. NJ. Mich
olson, bringing In oneseason under his
command, 1900 quintais of Goldfish.
After passing through the hands Of the
Delano brothers she was purchased last
spring by s. ID. Bridges, and entered into
shore fishing, commanded By Capt. Nc
Iutire, of Verona, who was in charge
" hen she went down.

MAINE sAifDlNES.


The sardine canning season. in Maine is
drawing to a close. Already several fac
tories have shut down for the year. While
close time does not begin until Dec. 1, aud
the fish are as plenty ~ they have ever
been, they are too large for Gaming pur-
poses. The product this year will be very
large.
Ia June the market for ssrdines such
as are canned In Maine was quite stiff, the
wholesale price running as high as 81
a case. For the same quality now the
price is down to s2.25 case. But even at
this price he factories have packed an
immense lot. The price of the fish, on
account OF the large supply during the
summer, dropped from 81 hogshead to
50. The low price of the raw material
made it possible for the Gamers TO PACK
at fair profit.
The ninety sardine factories in Maine
represent an invested capital OF more than
$500 900, and this year they have given
employment to over 5000 persons almost
continuously since May. 1t is estimated
that he pack this year will be the largest
on record, approximsting 1,5OO,0eJ cases.
The value of the product will not be so
large as last year. when it was g, 1872 ,434,
but the profits will compare very iavorsbiy
with those OF former years. Before the
goods are sold the market may prove bet
ter than it is at the present time.

For the second time since it was
partially destroyed by fire last winter,
the old veterinary hospital on School
street was fred by an incendiary.
There is well-grounded suspicion as to
who is responsible for the fires. There
have been other fires, evidently of in
cendiary origin, which, perhaps, may
be traced to the same source. 1t is
about time to put stop to this dan
gerous practice. While the buildings
have been practically worthless, ad-
joining property is threatened, the
reputation of the city is injured, and
if the incendiary fires continue, prop
erty- owners will suffer by increased
insurance rates. We believe an in
vestigation should be made. If the
city authorities do not act, the State
insurance commissioner probably
will.

Yesterdav,s Elections.

Yesterday was election day in many
states. The results were generally
satisfactory to the republicans. 1t is
an "off year, in politics, and the vote
in most instances was small.
The most gratifying victory of the
election was the overthrow of Tam
many rule in New York. Seth Low,
the fusion candidate for mayor, was
elected by something like $4,000 over
Shepard, the Tammany candidate.
1t was not party fight. The decent
people of the city had risen above
party lines, and it was fight of
decency against indecency. As al.
most invariably proves the case when
the people are thoroughly aroused to a
moral issue, decency triumphed. We
will indeed have fallen upon sad times
when this ceases to be true.
In other parts of New York state the
victory was generally republican.
There was no state ticket in the field.
Albany and Buffalo went republican.
Troy elected reform mayor over the
regular democratic nominee.
Massachusetts elected Crane, repub-
lican, governor by something like So
900 plurality. There was a general
falling off in the vote. The democrats
made slight gains in the legislature.
Ohio is republican by $4,000. The
republicans made gains throughout
the state. Both branches of the leg
islature are safely republican.
New Jersey went republican by
something like 1000.
Rhode Island is republican by a
smaller vote than last year.
Early returns from Nebraska indi-
cate that the republicans have carried
the state by 5000 to 5000.
Pennsylvania vote was very light,
attorney general being the only state
candidate. The republican candidate
is elected by something like $4,000.
In Maryland there was no state
ticket. The democrats carried Balti-
more.
Virginia and Mississippi are demo-
cratic on light votes.
Iowa is republican by an increased
majority.
