The Saturday Game.

The Saturday game against Point
Marion was tame affair, the locals
winning in walk. The visitors scor.
ed one in the second inning, and
straightway acknowledged their sur
prise by going to pieces in the latter
half Of the same round. and by a Sc.
ries of NUTS, boots and wild throws
allowed Cap. Willig's men to chase
seven across. That inning was ludi-
crous in the extreme. Every Point
player who handled the sphere in this
round managed to do the wrong thing
with it. and the crowd was bowling
with delight before the close. Some
three hundred persons accompanied
the Pennsylyanians here, but not half
this number viewed the game as the
rain which fell early in the afternoon
and the threatening condition of the
clouds scared most away. The field
was as muddy as cornfield, and the
players stopped around like SO many
Illustrates. The muddy going was re,
sponsible for the number of double
plays scored, the men being compel.
ed to almost walk from one base to
another. Rice and Gapen were the
opposing pitchers, with the former
having all the best of it. No fielding
features of exceptional brilliancy were
pulled off. Cap. willig's hitting was
the bright spot in the game, he hav.
ing two doubles and single out of
five times up. Both of the former
were long drives over the hill in left
field.

that the home team gets the worst of
this important feature on every oc-
casion, and especially so when there
is no occasion for It and when 1t turns
the tide of battle. Keener, the VII.
sonburg pitcher who shut the locals
out Friday, was gathered up by VIII
Zig. and yesterday made his first ap.
pearance as Fairmont player. After
the injury to the captain he was sent
to left, and while he essays only to
pitch, his work in the outer garden
was of high character. His timely
single in the fifth drove two of the
runs across.
Wharton started this off with sin.
gle and Snedden sacrificed him along
cushion. Ridgely cracked out a
nice base hit to right, sending whar-
ton to third. Here the double steal
was tried, or at least Ridgely fulfill.
ed his part Of 1t by trying for second
and was easily thrown out, but
Wharton never moved from third.
Rice singled to middle, scoring the
catcher. Campbell was passed up as
was Lou Willig. Keener then stepped
up and sent long single to left, Rice
and Campbell Gathering home. That
was all the scoring. done by Fair.
mont. Will Ridgely appeared in mid.
die for the home team, and while he
had no chances in the field, his work
in practice was of the brand that
stamps him as conner II not already
having arrived. At bat he had nice
clean single. No official scorer is en-
ployed by the association, hence the
tabulated scores will have to be
omitted.

JURY DISAGREED IN
BLAcKSHIRE CASE

PARKERsBURG, Aug, 2l.-The
jury in the Blacisshire case was ad.
journed at midnight Saturday night
until this morning. at eight O'Clock
Ten of the jurors stood for convlc-
tion and two stood for acquittal.
The jury came into the court room
about ten o'clock Saturday night and
asked for further instructions as to
degree Of crime. There had been
misunderstanding, some OF the Jurors
believing that they must either re-
turn verdict OF guilty OF murder in
the first degree or acqu.t the wo-
man.
The jury was instructed that the
Indictment included ali minor omen
ses Of assault or second degree
murder and that the jury could bring
in any verdict It chose covering tbs
ground. It was then thought that .
second degree verdict would follow.
However at midnight the jury re-
ported through the foreman that it
had been unable to reach verdict
and 1t was adjourned ove- until this
morning at eight o'clock when II was
again sent back to the airy room.
The court has instructed the jury that
1t must agree on a verdict II possible
and there IS some hope that a verdict
Will be reached to-day. The jury ~

the belief Of two jurors Is all that IS
saving the woman. The others are
all for murder in The first degree while
the two are reported TO be absolutely
in favor Of acquittai. Grantsville is
considerably wrought up over the stu
alton, as every one believes the wc-
man to be guilty, as does everybody
in Parkeraburg, after having read the
testimony.
The only thing that saves her at
all is the fact that there was some
variance In the Testimony OF Hen
bricks and Mccroskey. the States two
most valuable Witnesses. They did
not tell the same story in detail. This
difference has initiated to the adj
vantage of the defense and 1t has
been greatly assisted by the story
told by the little son OF Mrs. Black
shire on the witness stand. =
Assistant Prosecutor Bell, who CON
Quoted the case for the State. was
called last evening over the long
distance telephone. He stated to the
reporter that he thought it very doubt
full II verdict is reached at all. II
there is a verdict It Will not DO for
more than second degree murder. he
believes. The case has cost the coun-
ty a large sum Of money, and the
court is very anxious that the matter
be disposed Of without tie necessity
'of'a new trial.

RuMes and Frills.

The revival Of ruffies and frills is a
boon to thin women who have some
times found it difficult to wear sum
mer muslins becomingly. One can
have thin gown covered with ruff1es,
and be very much in fashion. A
graduation party gown of fine main
sock was made with full skirt
trimmed with no fewer than ten mar
row ruffles edged with the popular
round-meshed Valenciennes, which is
only less desirable than the real lace.
These ruff1es were graduated in width,
but none of them were wider than five
inches, and were set some distance
apart. The waist was low-necked, and
had the decollette outlined by double
rouche of lace. Three narrow ruffles
trimmed the waist and crossed the full
elbow sleeves. There was a girdle
with sash ends of white taffeta rib.
bon, in the sash end of which were
twined small white roses. A bunch OF
natural white roses would naturally
be worn on the corsage. Puffs are also
for the thin woman. Muslins are very
much puffed just now.

'ofthis design, and the fact that although
a novelty it is not so generally seen as

CHILDREN'S FASHIONS.
The Little Ones as Well as the Elders
Are Attired These Days in
Neat Checks.

The checks and plaids, especially in
mohair, are going to be as popular for
children as they are for grown-upa.
They make charming Russian blouse
suits for little girls. One of these
straight, simple frocks made for a girl
OF ten years was plated from the
neck, with a straight band for collar
In the middle of the waist, quite high
up. was a black and scarlet embroi-
dered emblem. This and the low
dropped patent leather belt were the
only touches of trimming
A bit more elaborate was blue and
white checked Russian suit made ex-
actly like the first one. A very broad
Elton collar, or rather a Puritan col
lar Of white linen, and white linen
belt gave a pretty effect. The child
wore white stockings and low patent
leather Shoes
For girl of IL was a black and
white checkered voile charmingly
made. Skirt and waist were box-plait-
feta connected the two. The neck was
cut square and was outlined with a
heavy white lace beading, through
which was run a black velvet ribbon.
The guimpe of embroidered batiste had
a collar of Valenciennes beading run
with narrow velvet ribbon. The voile
sleeves were two huge puffs to the ell
bow, where the lower puff was gath
cred into a band of heavy lace strung
with velvet ribbon, the loops and ends
of which fell over the under sleeves of
plain batiste.
A sailor suit of red and white
check, with red embroidered dot, had
the usual killed skirt and loose blouse,
the blouse in this case being open to
the waist line, and laced across with
silk cord. The big sailor collar was
trimmed with rows of white braid and
tied with big red surah sailor tie.
There were two guimpes with this
suit one Of fine white flannel with a
red anchor embroidered on the front;
the other Of handkerchief linen with
the anchor embroidered in white The
guimpes extended to the waist line on
