everything to Oal-cura Solvent.

= If accounts of the ball game at West
wellington Labor day, when the Toll
land nine came to town are true, and
they seem to be we'll authenticated, the
captain of the Holland soldiers must
have eaten an old fashioned boiled
dinner, and finished the banquet with
Welsh srarebit or some other old
thing that interfered with his diges-
ton. The way the story runs is this !:
TAT the beginning of the 9Th inning
/ the score stood 10 and 5 in favor of the
visitors; at the beginning of the 9th
the score was 10 and TO- In the 9th
the visitors failed to score. When
tile locals came to bat the scorer call
ed Korper and then Bracket, who
each made a hit. He next called
Hemmeler and then ran down to the
umpire and told him that the men
we're batting out of order, and were
out; where upon the doughty captain
refused to play any more. The game
is still unfinished, but the Willingtons
are looking for a new ball that dis
appeared.

The Golden-rod mill in Wales,
owned by J. HI. London, has been
. closed. Tuesday evening representa-
tiyes of Treat g Converse, commits
sion merchants of New York, went
to Wales and took possession of the
stock in the mill. Their authority
was a bill of sale. Several attach
ments have been made by creditors,
!. and keepers are in possession of the
property. The representatives of the
New York firm have declared their
intention of taking the stock to New
York. The keepers who have been
placed in the mill to guard the inter-
ests of the creditors who have made
attachments, say they will not allow
any property to be taken away. In
the meantime the employees are un-
able to work, and there is much in
terest in the outcome. The people
of Wales hope strongly that the mat
ter may be adjusted SO that the mill
can continue to run. No statement
of assets and liabilities can be OBJ
tanned as yet. The weavers in the
Branch mill at Monson, who are en-
ployed by j. III. Loudon of Wales,
stopped work Thursday noon. The
employees heard of the trouble in the

belief that they might not be able
to get their wages if they continued
to work, they went out.
