Arrested for Beating a Child.

On Friday last Capt. and Mrs. A. r.
Hackney who live at Eubank's wharf,
this eounty,were arraigned before Justice
Chiffon at Kilmarnock charged with
inhumanly beating twelve year old girl
of Capt. Hackney, the daughter by
former marriage. Both of the accused
were bailed In the sum of 81, 500 each to
appear before the next term of the Grand
Jury of Lancaster County Court. Com
monwealth Attorney Downing prose-
cuted the case.
1t is claimed that Mrs. Hackney did
the beating with the consent of her hus-
band. They both avow that the child
was not harshly dealt with but examina-
ton by several doctors and prominent
persons revealed the fact that one whole
side OF the poor child's body was a mass
of bruises and scars while the side of its
head appeared cut In several places as
though with hard instrument. Finger
prints show plainly on the child's throat
and its little wrists are wruug raw from
the grip Of cruel hands. After the
alleged beating the child is said to have
escaped and crossed swamp to a neigh
boris house. 1t was taken to the home
of w. B. DENNY at Kilmarnock where
it now Hes suffering from its wounds.
The whole community is very much
incensed and aroused and demands that
justice be melted out to the perpertra.
tors of this deed. No doubt if the par
ents are found guilty the law will be
dealt out rigidly.

10 TO 13 THE SCORE.
fryington Boys Make Up for Their
Defeat of Friday Week.

On last Friday afternoon the base
ball mines of lexington and Kilmarnock
crossed bats for the second time this
season, the game being played on the
kilmarnock Fair Grounds.
A large crowd was present at O'Clock
when the game was called and every
thing went smoothly until the beginning
of the seventh inning when trouble be-
gan, the score at the ending OF the sixth
inning being 10 TO 10 in favor of Irving
ton. The Irvington boys had one out
and two men on bases when Kilmar-
nock's umpire called strike on the
batter, which the catcher let pass and
the two Irvingtonians scored, rails.
ing the score to IL. The Kilmarnock
boys at once kicked" aud declared the
ball was a tip foul. and after ten min
utes the umpire reversed his decision.
This was positively contrary TO rules, as
theft umpire heard no tip and Rule 5S
says: Under no circumstances shall
any player be allowed to dispute a
decision by the umpire in which only
an error of judgment Is involved; and
no decision rendered by him shall be
reversed" But despite all rules tho de-
cision was changed and the umpire OIL
dered the two men to return to their
bases, which, of course, they refused to
do, having won their runs fair and
square; so the game was stopped. The
umpire defends his position by saying
that although be heard no Tip some
others did; but in baseball decisions are
made by the umpire and not by outsid-
ers. Two or three times before in the
game fouls had been called strikes, but
nothing was said as 1t was known the
umpire had not heard them.
1t is much to be regretted that the
game terminated when 1t did, as Irving
ton boys had just commenced to play
ball aud were confident of doubling
runs.
The Kilmarnock boys claim the game,
but any outsider who knows baseball
rules can see that the Irvington boys
did only what was right.
Paul Palmer, of Kilmarnock, and John
Mason, of Irvington, made the star
plays of the game.

Grounds.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is only
ono way To cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamcd condition OF the mucous lining
of the eustachian tube. when this tube Is
infiamcd you have a rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing. and when IL Is entirely
closed deafness Is the result. and unless the
inflammation can be taken out aud this tube
restored Co its normal condition, hearing will
oe destroyed forever. Nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
