quicker than pole-cat, but I ca tell you it didn't take me long [. get out there after lem. There wasn't sign of anybody, however, but as I stood peerin' into the dark thought I heard a queer sort O. eracklin', an then there was little gleam of light behind the kiln"
 ''Fire?" cried Rossiter.
 Fire! yes, siree," said Parmeiee. "Well, let out yell for Dick Whit tlesey, and he came boundin' to the door, scart as a rabbit. 'Water!' I shouted to him. Bring that .bucket!' We always keep a bucket handy, you know, in case anythin' should hap pen inside. He was pretty quick, s'pose, but it seemed just all eternity to me. However, when he did come we weren't many seconds gittin' round to the other side, and there was as pretty little blaze as you'd care to see just beginnin' to eat into the boards of the kiln. If we'd been five minutes later, you wouldn't be standin' where you are now."
 By love-" exclaimed Rossiter, that's mighty serious matter! You think"
 "Think!" broke in Parmelee: "you don't have to think long to spot the pair O hands that tried that trick. 1 It's that develish ape I thrashed the other night, though there's nothin' to prove it. Very considerate, I call it, of those Waterbury people to fix up 1 that stockade, or whatever it is, for hoboes over there, and bring all the offscourings in creation into this part of the country"
 ''Is that what they've done?" asked Rossiter.
 "Yes,' said Parmelee. "They 'iug' a tramp if he's found in town, but outside the corporation they've got this place, where all the vagrants un- der Gods heaven can sleep and feed. We're reapin' the benefit of their little scheme"
 1T don't believe this fellowll try it on again here," said Becraft, as he and Rossiter turned to go.
 Guess you're right" answered l Parn1eIee. "Of course, he saw that we nipped his fine little flame in the bud, and knows we're pretty sure to be on the lookout. If. you should go over to Waterbury tomorrow, like as not you'd find him there with some of his handsome pals as innocent as you please"
 As Rossiter and Becraft sallied forth on their excursion to Blue Creek on the following morning Sunday, they encountered Jack Par melee and MT. Merton in earnest talk at the gateway
 "Goin' for a tramp?" Parmelee asked as the two passed.
 "Yes," answered Rossiter, Cover tc Blue Creek
 'It's quite a place." said Parmelee ''I'll tell you what you might do,' he continued, 'if you care to walk as far"
 Whats that?'
 "Well, if you follow the creek dowr for three-quarters of mile, mebbe you'll come to a little branch that leads up through a side gully. Strike into that for a score of rods, cross the Blue Creek road, which makes 8 big dip just there, and after you've gone, oh, say twice as far again, take bee-line through the woods anc you'll hit our loggin'-road thatl fetch you out at the meadow below the orchard"
 Much obliged" said Rossiter.
 And say" added Parmelee, "yor might just have your eyes open and watch out for any traces of that hairy hobo."
 Well do itl'' and the two swung off in the direction of the gulf It was one of those. vital Septem

WRECK OF THE VERA CRUZ.

Large Number of Passengers and
 the Crew Saved.
 CHARLOTTE. N. O., May 11.-A spe- cial to the Observer from Beaufort N, O., says:
 "More definite news has been re- ceived regarding the wreck of ths Portuguese bark Vera CruE at Ports mouth. on the south side of OcrScoke inlet, sixty miles north of hero. The only communica ton is by boat to this place, and the boat which arrived yes terday brings intelligence that there were 251 passengers, all Portuguese. and a crew of sixteen. All were res cued by the Portsmouth life saving station crew, but one person died a few minutes after the rescue. %"
 sThe Vera Cruz was in charge of a local pilot, having put in at Ocracoke inlet for water. She struck the outer bar and then on the inner bar hard and fast nearly two miles from the life saving station. A gale was blow ing. and the sea was very rough, mak- ing the work of rescue extremely dan gerous. There are only about sixty people at Portsmouth, so nearly all the Portuguese had to be taken across the inlet to Ocracoke, five miles distant. Some of the cargo was landed, mainly whale oil, of which sixty tons was on board.
 "The wind continues from the north east, and it is believed the vessel will be a total loss. A wreckiST tug has arrived there from Norfolk. T. G. Terrell, the keeper of the Portsmouth station, and his crew are highly com mended for their excellent work. which occupied about twelve hours"

the return game next Monday even

pleasantly entertained, the Groton
gentlemen doing everything they
could to make the occasion most
agreeable, except to run their own
score up 80 points too high for the
visitors. Foster made the highest
score and Young the highest average
in the Groton team. The Groton

BATTLE OF THE HOSTELRlEs
A Great Game On the Diamond Last
Sunday.
The Aberdeen Defeats the Sherman, Ward
and City Combined,

The most entertaining ball game
OF the season occurred Sunday.
i The Ward Hotel had beaten the
Sherman House in a warm contest a
few weeks before, so the Aberdeen
challenged both the Ward and
Sherman combined.
Il The Sherman and Ward selected
their best timber including two ex-
league players who were used as their
battery. They also had Arthur
Weber from the End nine of the High
school and Wilmarth of this city.
The Aberdeen delegation consisted
solely of patrons of the Aberdeen
Hotel.
I The game was called at 3 D. m.
Aberdeen went to bat to face the fast
and furious Skinner. Now Skinner
formerly pitched for Sioux City in the
league and of course tried to put old
time wrinkles on the ball, but the
boys were finding him in spite of the
acrobatic performance which re-
sembled grasshopper having fit.
Then Aberdeen went to the field
and the old-time sluggers tried to bat
the modest balls thrown by Schamber.
Their old league player Burk
Clipped at the ball like Missouri
farmer, but failed o make hit in
the game. Skinner did very little
J better, and both left town early next
day.
The Sherman and Ward got
\ desperate and tried to run into the
I baseman. They had an ex-pugilist
with a game eye and shape like a
barrel who tried to knock the first
} baseman off his pins but the latter
! froze to the tall and both went into
! a heap, and the umpire counted the
I pugilist out.
The game was for blood from that
! time forth and all the boys played fast
ball.
ii Jacobs umpired the game.
! At the end of the eighth inning
( the game was to s and Aberdeen
went to bat. Three men made base
hits and with the bases full two men
struck out. Van Slyke went to bat
and knocked out two-bagger and
J brought in two scores. Manly went
to bat, made basehit and brought in
Van Slyke. The next man famed
]Out.
Then came the last chance for the
J Opposition, but Schamber struck ont
two men and the third was caught
I. out by Manly who made a very pretty
play and they made only one score.
u One of the surprises OF the game
was Schamber's good playing, and in
fact the boys all did we'll. The
hundreds of lovers of the national
game who came out to see the spec
tacle came back we'll pleased and
satisfied that it was the event of the
season. Landlord Shea was SO pleas
ed with the boys that he turned ovel
to them the key of his cellar. The
Lineup was as follows:
New Aberdeen.
Catcher-Henry Foster.
Pitcher-Martin Schamber.
First base-Van Slyck.
! Second base-Miller.
Short stop-Manley.
Third base-Ted Schamber.
