BASE BALI.
M1DDIErowN .. TOWNSHIP 10.

AT Townsend last Saturday fIllly 500
people witnessed one of the most interest
ing ball games ever played in the Appo-
Eouinimink town, in which the Middle
town club was defeated by the score of
10 to g. The game was full Of heavy
hitii.:g aig.i costly errors, ANA i.ut until
the hast man was ott III the nihtil inning
could the winning club be picked.
Stevens pitched fine game for Middle
town and had he been given support
would have won out easily, but fate was
against him, and Townsend won out in
their half of the ninth.
For Townsend, Magee, who pitched
for the Philadelphia National League
Ball Club lat season, did the twirling,
and during the first part of the game, he
doubtless thought he was again in league
company, as the boys succeeded in MAX
ing four safe hits in the first inning, and
scored two runs, while in the second they
added three more hits to their credit, and
four more runs. After the fifth inning
Magee did fine work, and managed to
keep the IA hits made off his delivery
well scattered.
A noticeable feature of the game was
the good order, and the gentlemanly con-
duct of all visitors, and it is to be hoped
that the two clubs may meet MANY times
during the present season, and play
friendly games.
The score by innings follows:
Middletown 2 4 0 0 20 l 0 %
Townsend 2 0 0 O 0 . 10
Batteries-Stevens, s. Holten Magee,
lyman. Umpires-Brown and Myers.

RUSHED INTO BURNING SHOP

Emory B. Higgins, Jr., was suffocated
and burned to death in a fire in his
fathers carriage factory at Laurel early
Wednesday morning. The young man
lost his life by running into the burning
building to secure some valuable papers.
He was seen to reel, and is supposed to
have been seized with an epileptic fit.
He was dead before the Mortified firemen
could enter the building.
The destroyed factory was in section
closely built up with frame structures,
and for time it looked as though all of
that part of the town that escaped the
great fire of two years ago, was doomed,
but heavy rain and the heroic work of
the local fire department confined the
flames to the one building.
When the body of the junior member
was found it was lying between two cof-
fins, making most gruesome sight. There
was but 500 insurance on the building
and none on the contents.
The building was large frame struc-
ture about 50x60 feet in size and was
situated in Main street, about the centre
of the town. 1t was used by Mr.. Riggin
in the manufacture of carriages, furniture
and cofiins.
1t is supposed that the fire was caused
by someone throwing match, which
had been used to light cigar, into pile
Of shavings.
The father of the unfortunate man,
Emory B. Riggin was the speaker of the
House of Representatives six years ago.

CYCLONE ON BOMBAY HOOK 1s1AzD

A terrific wind storm, having every
indication of a small cyclone, visited
the vicinity of Bombay Hook Island
Tuesday evening, doing considerable
damage. The one suffering most from
the devastating wind was Mr.. James
Slaughter. at the near approach of the
marsh, on the road to Woodland Beach.
The cyclone came while the family
were seated at the supper table, and
hearing the storm they got to place
of safety. The table was cleared Of every
thing and blown out into the yard. Not
stopping here, the wind played havoc
with the outbuildings, completely de-
molishing the carriage house and minor
sheds. The shutters and doors were also
blown off the residence. Fortunately no
one was hurt.
