Because Both Conceal Considerably More than They Reveal
NEARLY FATAL,
Young Fisherman Almost Loses His Life Satur-
day Afternoon.

But for the quick work Of David
Wright and the presence OF mind of
Mrs L. D. Moore and Mrs Hufnagle of
Gage street, the little four year old
son of Frank Hollister of Grove street
would have lost his life by drowning
on Saturday afternoon.
With party of little ones he was
playing near the gate house at the
Morgan Spring when in some manner
he slipped into the pond, and after
bobbing up and down several times,
as the children expressed it, he sanI
to the bottom. Then it was the child
ren shouted for help which was
answered by Mrs Moore and Mrs Huf-
nagle who heard their screams, when
they arrived at the pond the little fell
low was laying on the bottom face
downward in about five feet of water,
taking hold of hands they were just
prepared to wade into the pond when
David Wright, who had also heard the
Sllco AOl ASiPj iuShCO ny tucu anu
plunged into the water and at the
second attempt brought the little chap
to the surface and reeling on to the
bank exhausted, passed him to the
two women who Immediately went
about the work of resuscitating the
boy, who had already turned to dark
purple with all outward signs of life
extinct.
After about fifteen minutes of ener-
getic work they succeeded in forcing
the water from his lungs and st arted
respiration, then they carried him
home where warm cloths and brisk
rubbing soon brought him back to
consciousness and within an hours
time wanted, to go out and play with
his mates.

nEAD DOWNS
CLEMENT
Carried The Rutland Caucus 1889
to 1882

Rutland, Vt, June 6-Dr John A.
Mead, of Rutland candidate for the
republican nomination for lieutenant
governor, carried the republican eau
Gus Saturday evening against the To-
cal option forces and elected a dele
cation pledged to support him at the
state convention by a vote OF 1889 to
1882. lie also secured the election of
delegates to the district and county
conventions.
1t was the hardest fight held in this
city for years and by all odds the
largest republican caucus ever held
here. The total vote of the city is
usually about 24OOo 259O, but more
than that number of names we're on
the check list and more than POO
votes we're ca st although the city is
nearly evenly divided between repub-
licans and democrats.
The fight has been bitter since the
announcement from the other side of
the state that the prohibitionists would
attempt to secure the repeal of the To-
cal option law if Mead was nominated
lieutenant governor and Rutland
county elected four prohibition sena-
tors.
With the Rutland county senator's
local option men, the senate would ma
turally be close, and with four prohibi-
tion senator's from the county a repeal
of the license law might be passed.
This put the local option men on their
mettle, but at the last moment DR.
Mead announced that he did not
favor repeal.
This took the local option issue
largely out of the fight here, and Geo
E. Lawrence in his speech nominating
the Mead and Carpenter delegates
pledged them to help keep the local
option law on the statute books.
This robs the Mead victory Of the
greatest part OF its effect as regards
the license law, but the defeat of the
forces that supported p. W, Clement
two years ago may have some moral
effect in the county convention when it
comes to nominating the other three
senators,

HAIRRAISING
FINISH
Bennington Wins Out in the
Ninth Inning.
SCORE WAS S To a.
Locals Battled FierceIy but Visi-
tors Fielding Kept Down
the Score.
SCORE WAS S To a.

Saturday the Bennington oase ball
team defeated the Jeffersonians of
Schenectady by score of ) to 4, in
the most interesting game of the sea-
son. Austin pitched a strong game
and received gilt edge support, especi-
ally from the out field. II was any
body's game up to the ninth inning and
chuck full of thrilling plays.
There was nothing doing in the scor-
ing line until the second inning, when
Martin crossed the plate scoring the
visitors first run on wild throw
Higgins started the ball to rolling for
Bennington with a single to center
field, Ayres sent one to short, Cronin
received pass and the bases were
filled.
Austin drove one to the short stop,
who homed it, mailing Higgins at the
plate. Ayres tailed on wild throw
to third by Garrity. The third inning
ended with the Jeifersonians in the
lead by three runs, the result of Mar
tins hit to left field and a wide throw
to first.
The fourth, while without results to
either side, was marked with some fast
clever fielding by Higgins, Keller and
Love. Commencing with the fifth, the
excitement increased with each inning.
Wiley for Schenectady hit to left field;
Connolly strung high one out to CEN
ter field which Higgins caught, also
throwing Wiley out at second, making
for a double play. Graham famed
and the side retired.
The home team with two gone, start
ed in and demonstrated that they are
good fnishers with the willow, by
pounding the leather for four clean
hits and tying the score, During the
sixth, seventh and eighth innings,
both teams without altering the score,
played the finest kind of ball; plenty
of hitting with most errorless fielding.
The game was won in the ninth in
ming; Bohanski, Garrity and Wiley
were retired in quick succession. Love
landed on first with hit over second.
Higgins and Cronin followed with sin
giles, Austin came to bat sending
hot one into right field, and Love cas-
lily trotted over the plate with the need
ed run.
