TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
w. j. ClothIer and Doherty Will Try for
Chance to Meet Larned.

Newport, r. I.,Aug. 21-It is now
practically certain that w. ]. Clothier
will be the one to meet the younger
Doherty for the honor of challenging
Larned for the national championships
r. F. Doherty is expected to default to
his brother in the fifth round, tomor-
row. so that H. L. Doherty will meet
r. H. Carleton in the semi-fnals
Clothier's work in his match with
Ward, today. was the strongest vet
shown by any American player in the
tournament. His ground strokes were
close to the line, and seldom went out
side. Clothier himself was very strong
at the net. His service, however, is
weak and this weakness worries his
supporters most.
The longest match of the tournament
was that between r. p Huntington
and z. w. Leonard. The younger
player got the first two sets, and lead
i'll the fourth but Huntington kept very
steady and finally won through su-
perior endurance.
1t was reported here, today, that a
French team also expects to challenge
for the Davis internationa trophy in
next June.

GUN ON THE RAMPAGE.
a Hotchkiss Goes Adrift on the
Gresham at the Yacht Race.

New York, Aug. 21.-With a big
Eotchkiss gun plunging from side tC
Slde and threatening to tear off hel
Plates with every lunge, there was
quite bit of excitement on the reve-
nue. cutter, Gresham, while she was on
the patrol duty for the yacht, Reliance
But Tor the bravery of the gunner and
members of she crew of the cutter, the
result might have been disastrous.
Inc gun weighed 1900 pounds, and
was IN transport, not constituting part
OF armament of the Gresham, but in
tended tor one of the ocean going rev.
enue cutters. 1t had been deposited on
the lower deck, and apparently nobody
thought it worth while to place it Sc
curely.
The Gresham, which was the flagship
for the course patrol, was lyingnear the
outer mark where a heavy swell was
running. AT times she rolled so heav-
lily that her rail almost went under wa
ter. I'll was amid this rolling that per-
sons heard the crashing down below
and felt the tremors passing through
the cutter as the gun struck her heavy
iron sides.
llll I1olCihISS = ull HAS DiOhtlt
loose down below and the captain says
If you don't want holes stove in the
side of the cutter you'd better get your
men down there and tie her up"
This was the startling message
poured into the ear of the gunner eX-
citedly by one of the crew.
The gunner made a rush for the COM
panion way. AS he ran he called to his
assistance several of the crew, telling
them to bring lines. With every roll of
the cutter the big gun went crashing
to port or starboard following the list
ing of the boat and threatening death
to anybody who got in it's path. The
rolls were so close together that the
men were kept busy lodging. Many
times they risked their lives in trying
to fasten the line. and encouraged by
the brave example set by the gunner.
they persisted until finally they had
the gun under control and tied so Sc
curey that it could not do more HARM
The hands of two men We're slightly in
jured in the struggle.

AN ENGAGEMENT RING
From Evans Found on Finger of Miss
Brown, Drowned With Him,

Johnstown, n Y. Aug. 21.--It is learned
now that the ring found on the body of
Florence Brown, who was drowned in
Canada lake about two weeks ago was
an engagement ring from George ii.
Evans, who was drowned with her.
The day after the disappearance of, the
couple, Mrs Biering of New York. sister
of the girl, told Evans guardian that the
young man had asked the girl to accept
the ring and marry him soon as possi-
BILE. promising to break his engag cement
with Miss Waert of Pittsburg. Mrs. Bier
ing did not know whether the ring had
been accepted by the girl or not The
fact that it was discovered tied about
Miss Browns neck when her body was
found increases the theories suggested
for the execution of the double tragedy.

GANG OF TRAMPS
Bothering Railroad Men and Farmers
Around PittsfieId, Mass.

Tittsfield, Mass. Aug. 21.-Railroad men
and farmers in this section of the state
hav" been troubled much of late by
hordeS of tramps. which make the Boston
x Albany lire their highway from New
York state eastward. a score of these
wandering idlers, yesterday, took practi-
cal possession of a freight train on the
run from Albany to PittSfield The
ItrampS were so numerous that the train
hands could do nothing with them. and Il
telegraph message was sent to PittSfieli
to have officers rid the train Of it's unde-
|Sirahe "pasSengerS.
Chief of Police Nicholson sent several
men 20 meet the train AS it was round
ing a curve near the Pomeroy Satinet
mill. the tramps sighted the police and an
exciting exodus from the cars took place.
No one was injured, but eight of the
score fell into the arms of the officers.
1t is thought that the gang may be the
one which has been looting farm houses
land holding up trains.

LOCAL MATTERS.
THE SUNDAY DINNER.
The Markets Are Well Stocked
With Good Things.
What You Can Get and How Much 1t
viii Cost You.

In many ways the Sunday dinner
problem, this week. is a difficult one.
Not that there is a great scarcity OF
material. for such is not, on the whole,
the rule. 1t is because there is good
large variety to choose from ana one
scarcely knows what to take. Again,
the prices are not such as to form a
particularly large barrier against any
one thing which is to be had in Angus
tr's markets and stores. They are as
low as can be expected, and when that
point is reached it is all that can be
asked for.
In the produce line there is green
corn, good sized ears, we'll filled out
and sure to make good eating. 1t is
coming in better quality than it was
a while ago and in consequence the
price has taken drop of five cents a
dozen ears, making the regular retail
price 25 instead of 80 cents a dozen.
Not all of that offered in the markets
is native grown, for some comes from
Massachusetts.
Green peas are about gone from the
market but the price shows no mate
rial change from what was quoted,
last week, it being possible to secure
them at 35 to 40 cents a peck, at this
time. String beans, too. are coming a
bit short, though the price remains at
five cents a quart for them.
Lovers of cucumbers need not go
without their favOrte. for there is an
abundance of them and the price is a
cent lower than a week ago, they SELL
ing at four cents, each. a
e
cents pound cabbage at three onions
at four cents and turnips and beets at
three.
~ Eggs are very scarce and retail at 26
cents n dozen. Butter. prime dairy, is
worth % cents, creamery, q cents, a
pound.
Good sirloin roasts and steaks are
worth 80 cents, rump steaks are to be
had at 16 to 20 cents, while a, good
roast may be had at from Is cents tip.
Chickens, good brolers are retailing
for % cents to % cents pound and
fowl is worth 20 cents ,L 81
Veal is bit short in supply and
roasts are worth Is cents steaks bring
25 cents and a hind for IS cents. Pork,
roast or chops. Is cents. Whole harrn116
cents, sliced ham % cents. rSSat.'
ON Friday afternoon, there was not
n m3ckerel to be had in the wholesale
houses in Boston and there is some
question if a supply was received in
time to ship any east, so that there is
doubt of there being any in the Augusss
Ia market, today. If there are they
they will be very high. in all probable
ity Halibut and sword fish are scarce.
and are quoted at 16 to is cents a
pound. Salmon is still in the market
at 30 cents a pound, while there is Il
good supply of Holsters at - cents.
Fruits and berries are in good supply
and at moderate prices in Augusta, 50
that this part of the Sunday dinner
need not be neglected. Nice large
oranges may be had at 80 to 80 cents
Il dozen; peaches. Is to 40 cents; pears.
80 cents dozen pineappies, ID to 30
cents each; watermelon, % to 40 cents,
each: cant taloupe and muSkmelon. 10
cents. each; bananas, 16 for a quarter:
grapes 40 cents a basket: plums 10
cents a dozen. RlaCkberries and blue
berries are worth IL cents a basket.

ta youngster will never be lost. that is
unless he loses some of his present
shrewdnesS. A few days ago he had a
desire for a second piece of pie. He
didn't know just how to get it, but he
put his mind to the task of deVisinS q
way to circumvent the rule of the fam
lily that one piece was sufficient for
him. When the time came for pie, he
took his and ate it slowly. From his
manner it was plain that he was cogl-
tating upon something. AS the last bit
of the pie disappeared down his throat
he. gave a deep sigh and, glancing at
his mother. said: Mama. what's the
difference between you and Gramma?
OF course no one knew and they asked
the difference Whereupon the youth
slowly said: she gives me two pieces
of pie while you only give me one.
He got the pie.
