The merchant paused for breath,
while the man mumbled something
about his getting cheaper prices at
the mail order houses.

They pay no taxes here to help run

Peoples Academy ana daruWlck
Academy base ball teams played the
first OF series of games, on the Old
Fair Grounds last Thursday after
noon, the latter team getting the
better of P. A. to the tune of 10 to 5
The game was interesting through
out aud with the exception OF some
costly errors by 2. A. in the sixth
would have been very closely con-
tested.
Following is how 1t was done:-
FIrst-Ward and Young went out
on a fly and a ground hit to Lamber-
ton. Worthen hit safe to right, but
was left on second, when Marshall
went out on fly to Fisk.
Ellis drew a cheap base and stole
second and was advanced to third by
Stafford's sacrifice. Woodward went
out on punt hit. Fisk hit safe to
right and scored Ellis and went home
on a pretty single to left by Leavens,
Lamberton was out short-stop to
first, retiring the side.
Neither side scored in second.
Third-Barr was out on hit to Tyn-
dali. Ward hit safe to right and
went third.on Young's two Dagger to
left, Worthen struck out. Marshalls
fly to LETT was fumbled by Fisk and
Young and Ward scored.
Morrisville failed to score in this
inning.
Fourth-Talbert drew cheap base
and vent to third on Orton's hit to
left Ward came up with O. pretty
three la yger, which scored both men,
and went home on Ellis tumble of
Barr's grounder. Ward struck out
and Young hit to right and went to
first on Woodward's erl or and scored
on Worthen's hit. Marshall and
Morse were thrown out at first by
Ellis.
Again P. A. failed to score.
Neither side scored in the fifth.
Slxth-Ward, Young and Worthen
went out in order.
Leaven's chances of a run were
"nipped in the bud," by a fne catch
of a foul fly by Wortheu, Weafer
struck out and Lamberton went to
first on a single and stole second and
third, scoring ON Tyndall's hit. Tyn-
dali scored on Tinker's hit, the latter
being put out at second. This left
the score 5 toe.
Seventh-Marshall hit safe to Lam
berton, Nourse walked, Talbert hit
and all three scored on nambertons er-
ror. Orion went to first on Tyndal's
tumble. Wakefield and Barr struck
out, Ward hit to right and scored
Orion. Young went out on hit to
Weafer.
Ellis went out on fly to center,
Stafford was given a base on a balk
and stole second. Woodward struck
out. Stafford scored on Fisk's hit
to center, Lcayens went out on fly to
second.
Neither side scored in the eighth.
Ninth-Neither scored in this inning.
Talbert went to first on an error by
Weafer. The latter redeemed himself
by making pretty double of Orton's
infield hit, retiring Talbert. Wakefield
went out on hit to Lamberton.
Morrisville went out in order.
Tyndall pitched a good game for
Morrisville and Weafer played fine
game at second. The visitors played
a good game, but depended largely
on the work of their battery, which is
good one.

TO Return o Gua.

A rather pretty little story has just
developed in the past few days, in
whiob Bishop Cspers sakes q part
and which brings back recolleotions Of
che days of ls61-1s65 in very vivid
manner. The story has in il the cap.
ture Of Federal prisoner by she
bishop, then an offaerin the Third
South Carolina regiment, aud the
part played by other members OF the
same regiment, the names Of whom
have been forgotten by all.
The incident happened on James
Island when q detachment Of soldiers
from the various South Carolina com.
panies, just raised, were stationed
there. Bishop 'Capers aud three col
diers we're coming over from the head
quarters Of the officers toward she

island who wore the grey. He, was
approached sc rapidly that he had no
chance to escape and told 70 surrsn-
der. There was some parley at fsrss 90
the man. evidently o brave soldier,
did not wish TO bo taken in;t this way.
without having'a chance FOR o fight,
but the folly Of such procedure was
quickly shown and he turned over
his gun aud marched back TO camp
The gun was kept by Bishop Capsrs
for years and several efforts Hefe
made TO find ita owner. Finally ~
searching over. the records it was
found that the gun belonged otsonel
member Of the First Connecticut Vol,

q little easier and finally the man who
owned the gun was located. His.
