FIRE IN PLAINFIELD.

Plainield, June 29.-A barn and
about 10 tons of newly-cut hay were
consumed by fire here yesterday. The
barn is about quarter of mile
from the village and is owned by
Truman Bartlett. Men were at work
in the field near the barn and were
carting hay to the village. Every
thing was supposed to be all right as
they left the field with the last load,
but when they returned the flames
were bursting through the roof and
in about thirty minutes the building
was burned to the ground. The origin
of the fire is mystery but the suppo-
sition is that match was dropped by
smoker before they left the field.
The building was not insured.

RUTLAND DEFEATED.

Rutland, June 27,-About 1900
people saw Fair Haven defeat the
Rutland League team Saturday after
noon by a score of 9 to A. 1t was as
much a surprise to the visiting aggre-
cation as it was to the local fans.
The principal reason for the defeat OF
the home team was an inability to
hit, some rather dumb work at times
in the field in which everybody had a
hand. and the all around better team
play. both at the stick and in the
field, of the Fair Haven nine. Hoar,
ON the rubber for Rutland, was
touched up for IL hits, but the run
column would not be so large even at
that if the locals had exhibited a
little more cleanliness in their field
ing, e. Schulz pitched gilt edge ball
