Base Ball.
(Communicated.)

Last Tuesday afternoon, | attended
my first game of ball in Milford since
1891, and was so impressed with three
glaring faults that 1 take this opportu-
nifty of calling publicattentiOn to them
First. To my surprise and regret
found the spectators cheering and en-
couraging the visiting team, and boot
ing and jeering the home club. This
alone is enough to discourage and dis
hearten the most enthusiastic player.
Second. The captain worked earn
estly for the successor his nine, but used
bad judgment in publicly eriticising
individual plays
Third One player openly attempted
to give the game to Georgetown, merely
because of some fancied rebuke at the
hands of Captain Rosa. Had been
ia your managers position, then and
there that narrOw-minded player would
have gone out of the game to stay
Errors are sometimes eXcusable, but
treason never.
am glad to know that you have
such good all round man and mana
! ger as Mr.. Holland. If 1 understand
correctly your team was made possible
by his energy and perseverance, and the
fact that you now have we'll situated
grounds, an excellent grand-stand, and
a club that has been defeated but twice
this season, and then only by the mar
row margin of one run-is to his credit.
Mr.. Holland certainly deserves I'M
stinted praise for the sacrifices he has
made for the amusement of the people
and for the welfare of the Milford Base
Ball Team. AN EX-PDAYER.
The little chaps of Milford went clear
to Georgetown last Monday to get a
defeat, but came home with the salts
faction of having put up a good game
The score was IA to u in favor of the
Georgetown players.
The game Of last Tuesday was almost
a farce between the Milford Club anC
r Georgetown Club, the latter being out
classed at every point. The game wa
loosely played, and broke up in tn
p seventh inning, after a Georgetown
player had been seriously hurt by
> pitched ball The score was 10 to il
favor of Milford. The injured man
i name was Frank HutsOn, who TecOveret

LAST Saturday Forrest B. Laird, Of
Camden, N. j., came to Milford for the
purpose of taking his seven-year-Old
son from his grandfather, Mr.. Samuel
Radcliffe, but he objected on the grounds
that for five years he had cared for the
child as his own, and did not want to
part with it. Mr.. Laird attempted to
get the child away by the subterfuge
of taking it down town to purchase a
pair of shoes but his brOther-in-law,
Mr.. John Radcliffe, followed, and pre-
vented Mr.. Laird from getting into a
carriage to drive to Harrington with
the boy, by threatening to use a bayo-
net he held in his hands. Mr.. Laird
will now proceed by law to get posses
sion Of his son. Mr.. Laird is an engln'
eer in employ of the Pennsylvania rail
road company.

Packing Peas.

The cannery of D. Refs, in Milford,
has had the largest run on packing peas
in its history. Last Friday and Satur-
day the wagons loaded with peas stood
for two blocks east and west of the can
merry awaiting their turn to get up to
the threshers.
For several days in succession, the
cannery handled thirty-three tons of
shelled peas, and the machinery worked
to perfection. The yield in most cases
has been satisfactory to the growers;
yet some have failed to make any pro-
fit on the crop; this, of course, is due to
various causes.
All this week the lines of wagons
have blocked the streets, but the early
crop has about been handled, and th'
late varieties will soon follow in turn

Beetles Ruin Stone Church.

Middletown, o., Nov. 2s.-The First
Presbyterian church building of this
city is being ruined by beetle that is
eating its way into the stone, causing
1t to crumble. The church is one of the
finest in southwestern Ohio and is built
of brown sandstone.
For some time myriads of small holes
have been noticed in the church sides.
Investigation showed that each hole ex-
tended in for about two inches, after
which II widened into small room, in
which BEETLE lived. Several of the in
sects We're taken out. together with coc-
coons The tower of the church is fairly
riddled with the holes.
The beetles are similar to those that
inhabit limestone quarries and often
play havoc with the sides of the quarry
in which they live. They are brown,
have four legs and large knifelike jaws.
A similar beetle that casts into steel
rails is known to exist in Germany.

ABOUT EIGHTY LIVES LOST.
That Is the Number Estimated in the
Wabash Wreck.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 29.-When night
fell over the scene Of the wreck on the
Wabash railroad near Seneca those who
had been investigating the disaster had
found nothing to alter the estimate of
eighty lives lost as a result of the coll
lision. Superintendent George NJ. Burns
of the division on which the wreck oc-
Cured insists that the estimates are too
high.
II do not consider" said he, that the
total death list will exceed twenty"
However. in support of the larger es-
Inmates, it is pointed out that there are
now fourteen passengers known to be
dead. The bodies of eight of these have
been recovered, and 1t is considered that
the fragments of other bodies now in the
morgue at Adrian will account for many
more than the twelve dead necessary to
make up Superintedent Burns estimate
of twenty. In addition to the compare
lively few fragments recovered and sent
to the morgue, those who We're early
on the scene say that many more pieces
We're discovered which crumbled to
powder while they were being removed.
Superintendent Burns said last night
that he was unable to tell the exact
HuHlcDT Ol Itdlldu lIiliHiBTdlltS duOdTu
train No. IS, but thought that there
We're not more than fifty. Passengers on
the train and number of those who
were early on the scene dispute this and
say the number was nearer eighty. SUI
perintendent Burns has received no re-
port yet from Ticket Collector Eames OF
train No. 13, who probably knows near
er than any one else the number of Ital-
ians in the cars.
Coroner Hamilton of Adrian yesterday
afternoon impaneled jury and will be-
gin an inquest into the disaster this
morning. All the jurors are prominent
in the business affairs of the little city
of Adrian No steps have been taken

says is responsible for the collision and
