devoting too much attention to the
racing and horse departments to the
detriment of the others. They must
remember that this is the Orleans
County Fair and should represent all
the interests of the county. The
farmers do not come here just to meet
| their friends and to. be entertained: !:
they wish to get some information
regarding the work and experiences
OF their neighbors in other parts of
the county. 1t is very essential that
there should be some good racing and
that vaudeville attractions be pro-
vldec, but do not fail to look after the
agricultural interests of the county.
We make this comment because of
complaints made by certain people
regarding the showing mace in the
departments which we have men
toned. Some of these things the
association may be able to remedy
but we believe that most of them
were caused this year by conditions
over which they had 10 control.
BALL GAME.
There was game of ball on Thurs
day morning between the Barton
boys and a team from Newport. The
Barton boys had not played together
this summer but most of them were
good players and easily defeated
their opponents, the game standing at
the close 1877 in favor of the home
team.
For the Newports, the batting of
Searles and Hazel and the fine fielding
OF Collins were the features. For the
home team the battery work of Suitor
and Higgins and the fielding of Jenness
and Wright were good, while the best
hitting was contributed by Jenness
and G. B. Webster.

AUTO PLUNGEs INTO SUBWAY.
Thousands Saw Ponderous Machine
 Dash into the Deep Excavation.


 New York. Aug 29.-A heavy public automobile fell in to the Rapid Transit subway in Broadway. between Forty third and Forty fourth Streets. falling 30 feet and 1inging the chauffeur. Ed ward Morris. into the trench. Morris was inter nally injured and will die.
 In the presence of nearly 3,C00 people, the chauffeur was lifted out of the sub way on hoisting platform and then talk en in an ambulance to a hospital. Some witnesses said that Broadway car crashed into the automobile and jammed it into the subway.
 Morris was driving along Broadway when he saw the car bound northward. He tried to swing out of its way, but as the machine crossed the track the rear wheels slid the rails.
 Morris was now alongside the subway, and theN< machine careened then tilted and went over with a crash into the dark ness below Hundreds of persons from the theatres and diners in several res- taurants gathered about the trench,
 Workingmen in the tunnel al Forty-sec- ond Street ran up the subway and found the wrecked automobile first and then saw Morris in agony twenty feet away.
 Four workmen carried him to Forty second Street and he was hoisted to the street level.
 By this time nearly 5000 people. men and women, had gathered about the trench. They leaned against the railings with such force that the timbers cracked.
 The women screamed with fear and with their escorts fled for safety, but nothing serious occurred.

 Headquarters 3rd Regiment. N. G. F,
 Shenandoah, Pa. Aug. g. General Orders:
 It is very evident from the recent con- duct of the riotous element in this section that the conservatism with which the rroops have heretofore borne insults has been misunderstood and has encouraged this elemtn to repeated assaults upon the men in the performance of their military duty. This can no longer continue and l have personally informed the Chief Bur gess of Lansford and Tamaqua and d. rected that information be furnished the authorities of Summitville and Coaldale that the troops will no longer submit to insults or violence from any source.
 You are therefore directed to arrest any person using insulting language. epi- thets or violence towards the troops while in the performance of their duty. Have such parties arrested and taken to your guard house for future disposition In moving troops place reliable. competent and skilled marksmen on the Hanks Of the command and arm your file closers with loaded guns and instruct the that in case of attack upon the column by stones or missiles where the attacking party cannot be reached the men thus selected shall carefully note the man attacking the column and being certain of his man, fire upon him without any further orders. For the execution of this duty select none but absolutely reliable men who will make no mistake On a general mob. if resist1 ed. use your bayonets and butts vigor- ously if at all possible before resorting to volley firing.
 It is evidence that many of the licensed houses in this community are simply places of rendezvous of the riotous and disorderly element, thus creating them disorderly houses. You will carefully note such houses and report the names of the owners or parties holding the license to these headquarters, that application may be made to the courts for a revocation of their licenses

 Defending Forces.
Signal Stations Established Along the Southern Coast of Rhode Island-wireless Telegraph
 System Will Be Used.

Newport, R. l.. Aug. 29.AThe night be- fore the battle finds the army of defense in the several ports along shore between New Bedford and the east entrance 10 Long Island Sound practically in readi- ness to repel the attack of the hostile fleet under the command of Admiral Hig- ginson.
 The only thing that remains Is the ad- ditional armament on both sides. the Mas sachusetts heavy artillery for the shore and the Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York navel militia for the fleet.
 The organizations will arrive tomorrow forenoon. The artillery will be at once distributed among the posts at the en- trance of Narragansett> Bay and also at New Bedford. As to the naval militia, the gunboats Mayfower and Scorpion will be here in readiness to receive the Mas sachusetts and Connecticut troops. the New York naval militia arriving on the Supply. These three boats will imme- diately leave for sea and the militia will be deployed among the vessels of the fleet.
  Higginson will disappear from the coast some time tomorrow night. and will not be heard from again until the attack Is made.
 Arrival of MacArthur.
 The principal event today in this vicin- ity was the arrival of Major General MacArthur, commander of the Depart ment of the East, on a tour of inspec- tion. He was received at Fort Adams late in the afternoon and a long consul taticu was held in the evening at head three forts defending Narragansatt Bay, General Macarthur will leave for New Bedford. probably tomorrow afternoon.
 A large number of signal stations reach ing from Fort Adams along the south ern end of Rhode Island, which is prac- ticaly the city of Newport. have been established by the army. These stations are all in telephone communication with headuuarters at Fort Adams.
 A wireless telegraph system has been established between Fort Adams and the mainland, and also with the forts on Canonicut Island and Dutch Island.
 The main reliance of the army of de- fence in this vicinity Is the searchlight station at Prices Neck. very close to the life saving station. The mines at the entrance of Narragansett Bay are practi- cally in position.
 The date for the commencement of hos tiIities is at midnight tonight. but the actual warfare will not begin until mid night Sunday.
