On Thursday night prominent
young man of Denison received a
scare he is not likely to forget for
some time. After having retired for
the night ne was awakened from his
sleep by something running over his
head and face, and then down to his
feet. The room being dark. he was
unable to make out what it was, and
became quite thoroughly frightened.
However he mustered up courage
enough to jump out of bed, aud Sc
cured heavy cane, he pounded
away at the object and finally sue
ceeded in hitting it. At this stage
of the game the animal made.a terrible
groan, and died. Lighting lamp the
Young man found what he had supposed
to be skunk to be nothing more than
tame timber squirrel. 1t had entered
the house unbeknown to any one, and
after running around the rooms for
sometime jumped upon the bed, thus
causing the young gentlemen much
fright and ending its life.

FATS TOO MUCH FOR LEANS

The Fats and the Leans crossed
bats again on Friday last and the Fats
took sweet revenge on the Leans by
defeating them, the score being | | to s.
The Leans under the management. of
Barber Pole Cramer had been very
materially strengthened by the adding
of new players. Messrs Schiller,
Obenchain and Haines took the places
of Flahive. Alf. Wright and W. W.
Cook. The change was readily dis
tinguished. Cramer pitched a good
game in favor of the fats. that is they
were able to hit him to better advant-
age than they we're Wright in the last
game.
The Fats played the same men as
last time with the exception of Asa
Brown whose place was taken by
Caswell. Umpire Pomeroy was able
to secure better salary from the Fats
than he received from the Leans and
his decisions were very fair indeed.
A ball was not ball unless it was
thrown Immediately over the plate.
Aside from little ''beefing' on the
part of the Leans he gave good salts
faction and won considerable applause
from the lady spectators.
The Fats went TO bat first and
pounded out score just to start the
game, and the Leans came in and
walked out again failing to score.
This put listle ginger into the VICTOR
lous team and they rounded out an
other score and then the Leans
were given two scores in order to keep
them in the game Here the Fats
thought it time to push the score M
little and they scored seven times to
the Leans one. This was of course
discouraging, but the Leans hadn't
shown any mercy in the previous
game, and the Fats were out for re-
venge.
In the fourth inning the heavy men
gave the lightweights an opportunity
to catch up, bat they would only take
two scores. ard gave the big ones
another score In the fifth inning four
scores were MADE by the hsavys and
the light men made three, ending the
game.
1t is understood that third game
will be played todecide who is the best
of the two teams, as each one has
game to its credit

CHARTEROAK DEFEATED
Best Game ofthe Season Played
at Denison on Wednesday.
SCORE 2 TO 1 FAVOR OF DENISON
Charter Oak Almost Shut Out of the
Game. Werenot Match for Depison
in any Part of the PLAYING.

/ III any Fart or the Playing.
Denison defeated the Charter Oak
crack ball team on the Denison grounds
"Wednesday afternoon by score of 2 to

the condition of the grounds. they be-
Ing heavy from the rain during the
day. Grason umpired the game and
gave entire satisfaction to all
Az the beginning of the game it was
Clearly TO be seen orr home fellows
were going right after it, and they
Continued to keep the gait until the
very last. AT no time was there any
signs of tagging.
Howard Wahl at first base played an
ideal game and was highly compliment
ed OF both sides. If he continues to
play as be is doing now,and does not
lose his headwe predict he will be in one
OF the leagues next season. He made
both OF the scores made by the Denison
team
Robinault in the pitchers box was
at his best, and with cool head and
steady arm famed out twelve men.
The boys from the Oak did not
seem to know where they were at or
where the next ball was liable to come.
Faucett, behind the bat, proved to be
good man in the right place, he con-
stantly Kept his eye on the base runner
and made number of good throws to
second and also to first the visiting
boys did not dare work away from the
bases to any great distance, as his
eagle eye was after them
The war horse, Tom Kelly, was play
ing, as he always does, the game of his
life; he knew just when to hit the ball
and also when TO walk to first and
seemingly had no difficulty iu picking
out strike ball from an ordinary ball.
Punk" Pomeroy was likewise all
over the diamond, part of the time on
his head. and again smashing the bats
into kindling wood, but playing ball all
the time. He made a number of hot
stops.

There is little matter that we de-
sire to call attention to, outside the

STANDARD BOX co.
viii Occupy Portion of Cotton Mill
Building at Once.

The kennebec Realty Co. arranged
satisfactorily with the proprietors Of
the Standard Box Co., Monday, and
the latter concern will Immediately
occupy the first floor of the 1ive-story
cotton mill building. Mr.. Childs Of
Auburn, president of the company, met
the directors of the kennebec Realty
CO., yesterday afternoon, and inspected
the proposed location with the result
that q most satisfactory understanding
was reached.
The company, which has been To-
Gated at Augusta, for several years,
supplies the paper boxes for the shoe
factories in the three cities besides an
extensive and growing patronage in
other directions. They will occupy
about two-thirds Of the lower floor, or
about 5000 feet of floor space. For the
present power will be used from a
steam engine which will be installed.
Later as other Industries are admitted
power can be furnished by one central
plant. Mr.. Childs was much satisfied
with the appearance OF the new quar-
ters and plans to take possession at
the earliest convenient time. At the
present time a large amount of stock
for the plant awaits transfer from the
depot.
Hallowell people are much pleased
over the first successful move in favor
of the improvement Of the industrial
situation and are confident that the
future has much in store which will
be of material and lasting benefit.

The Organ Recital.

| An audience that filled the chapel,
Monday evening, listened with an at
| tention so Wrapt that a pin could al
| most be heard to drop in the pauses, to
the numbers of the organ recital given
| by Frederic A. Dunster of Augusta. Mr..
| Dunster's ability is well-known to Au-
gusta audiences, and it will be hereaf-
| ter to those of Togus, for the people
who were fortunate enough to be pres
ent at this recital will spread his fame
abroad. His selections were pleasing
and rendered in manner which show
ed him to be an artist and thorough
master Of his instrument. Miss Miller
has been pleasantly remembered since
her appearance here in Priscilla" and
her songs Of last evening, were no less
pleasing and called forth an enthusiast
tic encore that would not be denied, al
though Mr.. Dunster smiling informed
that audience that Miss Miller had for
gotten the words and he the music of
their encore number.
But the honors fell most thickly upon
Miss Laura Kinze Won kisielnicka of
Dresden, Germany, who is visiting in
Augusta, and had kindly consented to
contribute one number to the program.
a number which the audience insisted
should be two and evidently wished
might become three or four. Miss Kinze
has a remarkably beautiful and true
contraltO voice, and her singing was
superb. In short, the vocabulary of the
Journal man is Inadequate to describe
it. He who attempts it should have the
gift Of poesy.

Three mighty hunters of this vicinity,
if not of this city. are now the object
of many a happy smile from their
friends and the reason for this is the
fact that they went on a cunning trip,
recently to Windsor and hitching their
horse at n convenient place struck into
the woods in search of game. In their
wanderings they somehow lost their
bearings and meeting q brother hunter
in the woods inquired of him the way
to the nearest wood road. The infor-
nation was willingly given and the
direction indicated was taken but when
they emerged from the forest after
walking {; mile or more they failed to
recognize their surroundings. AS it
happened their former informant came
that way and on a second inquiry as to
the direction of the house at which their
team was kept they were rather sur
priscd to learn that they We're six miles
out of their way. 1t has been suggested
that the next time they wander SO far
away from home they engage a guide
to pilot them about and prevent the
danger of a repetition Of their long
tramp. The shoefactory does employ
some sportsmen of reputation.
