Providence Could Only Break Even
With Montreal on Series.
Several Hot Bouts Scheduled for New
England This Week.

The fact that Providence under esti-
mated the powers of Bannon's men
caused an even break in the series here
with Montreal the latter winning Satur-
day and yesterday at Rocky Pocky. Ten
men left on bases tells the story of the
home teams downfall, that number OF
Providence runners perishing on the
sacks. The VISITORS only outbatted the
natives IL hits TO g. but theirs were timed
20 as To do much greater execution than
those of the local aggregation.
Poole. who occupied the slab for Provi-
dence, was hit hard, and in places where
hits were costly. while Barber kept the
safeties scattered I'm all except two in
nngs. and was remarkably steady with
the cushions occupied The support af-
forded the Montreal twirler was decidedly
better than that behind Poole
II was decidedly dlscouraging 10 the
supporters of the Grays that their men
allowed any number OF chances TO win
the game slip through their fingers.
Miller's work at second base was a
fine exhibition 81 snappy and accurate
fielding. Rabbit" accepting 10 chances.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

1t Is a noteworthy fact that as be-
tween the efforts Of Messrs. Glenn &
Allison, the Yorkville Buggy company.
Messrs. Carroll Bros, and Messrs. J..
M. Heath & Co., Yorkville has devel-
oped into what Is probably the best
retail buggy market in the Piedmont
The town also ranks in the forefront
as to furniture, Mr.. G. II. O'Leary and
the York Furniture company both
carrying tremendous stocks and prices
that can hardly be duplicated else
where.
Mr.. ]. w. Haas came to Yorkville
to lay only about $50 square yards Of
cement sidewalks. That Is all he had
contracts for. Since he commenced
work. however, he has put down over
1900 square yards, and contracts al
ready made raise the total amount In
sight to about $500 square yards.
When the work was first commenced,
many people here had an idea that
there was big money in 1t for the con-
tractor. Since, however. they have
noted the large amount Of labor, and
the heavy cost of the materials requir-
ed, along with the great care and thor
oughness with which the work is being
DONE most of them have come to the
conclusion that the contractor Is en-
titled to all he will get out Of his job.
Mr.. Haas has impressed the people
with the fact that he has great pride
In his work. He has not told anybody
this: but everybody can see 1t. Every
thing he does Is In first-class style,
and he evidently means 1t to be per-
manent. It Is a fact that the contrac-
tor has been at more expense than he
calculated on because of the unexpect-
ed difficulty in getting the necessary
stone. There Is an abundance Of stone
Immediately around Yorkville; but be-
cause most Of the land on which 1t lies
is now covered with crops there
Is difficulty about getting at 1t. The
stone Is coming from a flint quarry
about a mile and a half east Of the
court house belonging to Messrs. john
son Bros.

THAT Darlington story, reproduced
elsewhere from the Charlotte Obser-
yer, about Robert Keith Dargan Is very
interesting to say the least Of 1t and
that is why we reproduced it. AS to
whether Dargan really committed sui
eide, we do not know. The probability
is that he did. Still there is nothing
in any part Of the OBJ
servers remarkai lie story. Before this
alleged suicide occurred, nobody could
have believed that the part played by
Pegram Dargan in the supposed
tragedy could have been possible. If
that incident is possible. then there Is
nothing improbable about the rest of
the affair, and under the circumstances
the people are not to be blamed for
being suspicious. AS to whether ru-
mors will be set at rest by the re-
opening Of the grave remains to be
seen; but under the circumstances 1t
would seem that the insurance compa-
nies would be justified in refusing to
pay one cent Of the benefits for which
they otherwise stand bound until the
whole mystery is cleared up to their
entire satisfaction.
