acres Freehold! Twenty noble resi- Hdencea-----'r, X q n, 5
 one Of the noble residents-coloneI Beaumcnt--cane across the road apd talked to nie---saw me all of a sudden. oh. Mr. Crunden.' says he, what can be done to avert this catastropheT Whats that, siry The ruin of the town. Mir. Crunden. If Hill hise meadows are built over, we shall all leave in d body. Oh. l do think old Lady Iiaddinglam has treated us very bad How so. sir?' Why, in putting the property up for sale to the high est bidder without any warning.
 What did you say to the Coionelf T said: Well. sir. as to that. selling to the highest bidder is always done. It'd bes "a funny thing to sell the lowest bidder. And as to Lady Mian- dfngham, she's dead, as understand So we oughtn't to blame her for whats done when she's in her coffin. And then Mir Crunden gave anAimitation or voice and gestures. which. 1T at all sue. cessful. proved that Colonel Beaumont was a, foolish. fussy. finnickins sort of person: " Might have provided for the contingency. MT. Crunden% Might have provided for the contingen- cy.'" E
 .what did you say to that7' asked Mrs. Price She was genuinely inter ested and amused. !,
 T told him the best way to save their aristocratic neighborhood was for them to club together and buy the property. and Mir. Crunden gave short. contemptuous laugh. They won't do that; they haven't the money in all the twenty noble residences. If pride could buy it. they would.
 ITO be sure. They are proud"
 "Yes. It's grand, such pride as theirs--if you come to think of 1t. Proud because they aren't in trade because they are colonels who never fought battle; admirals who won their rank after they'd left the ser vice; pensioners who never did an honest days work. I'll tell you some thing. I've grown to hate them and their pride-withs their proud, tricked- out daughters--too proud to play q game of ball with my girl"
 That was a shame indeed--refus- ing of Miss.Liz for the Club"
 q hate their proud swaggering sons. too! Loafers!--thats what they are. Idle, loafing. swaggering fools-every one of them"
 "so. they are" said Mrs. Price "AIl' except young Mir. Vincent. He's diff ferent, He was always pleasant and kind when he come here in the old days--he doS look so nice on his horse. It's a pleasure for to watch him ride by. Leave Mir. Jack out, ana I'm all with yoii.s
 CT saw one of them today-that Lardner-the Admiral's son, coming out of the Station. wiping his fat chops. and Mr. Crunden turned again to the desk on the bureaus T hate that fei- low most of ali.. It was copying him and his kind that sent my lad to the devil."j

 Huntsvillef Nov. IT, Special The bursting of big water main connect ing the city pumping station with the standpipe. caused great deal of trour ble here last night.
 The streets on the east ride of the square were flooded and the leak final ly became so bad that the pumping plant had to be shut down.
 The daily newspapers were sufferers to an unusual extent. the presses bein g run by water power. The Evening Ban- ner was enabled to get out only half an edition and The Evening Tribune did not appear at all.

 Huntsville people. as 2 rnie, were compelled to forego bathing and those who had saved bucket of water ron were counted lucky.

PLAYED IN THE RAIN.

Holyoke. Sept. 12.-Even the
 heavens wept at the showing made
 by the pennant captors yesterday af- ternoon against the Ponies. It was sad indeed to see the way that the leaders were distanced by their down river friends for the second time in two days and by the same score, 4 to 2. J. Pluvius took it to heart so much that he tried to slave off de- feat in the seventh inning by turn ing on the rain valves up above, but he reckoned without the umpire, who, in spite of the large amount of falling moisture, kept them ploddihg along until the eighth inning, when a small-sized cloudburst alone caused a cessation of hostilities.
 Red Rorty didn't have to admin ister any fine medicine to insure peace and quiet, there were none of his sentences that merited protest. Joe Connor talked hard to him once, figuring himself safe on a double play that the ump' couldn't agree on and he walked right in and talked to Red, and without getting any turned around and walked right out again. Joe offered advice to Red after that and was in- formed that if His Umps needed any help he would notify him. Paddy O'Connor had a friend @ clinging to the first base fence, who was a side show attraction in himself. In a rich English accent he hurled up verbal bouquets at the Windsor Locks lad and his foolish yelling led to the belief that he was an escaped inmate of some dippy house. Tho score R.H.E.

Young Buckley got sweet satisfac- tion for the defeat administered to him by Waterbury the other day, for he went up against the locals yester day and not runner got safely over the plate while Hartford managed to send two men to the record station. There was fast playing by both teams and the sharp work of the visitors shown out strongly in comparison to the wretched exhibition they put up when here last Hogarty did well too but was found safely enough in two innings, the first and eighth, to have Hartford get her two runs. Bril- liant stops were features of both sides and both teams played as if they were fighting for the championship. Dark clouds settled down over the field toward the last of the game and it had to be called in Waterburys half of the ninth. The score:

Springfield, Sept 12.-Holyoke, by winning the baseball championship in the Connecticut league, has also won a bride for Parry Thackara. the crack catcher of the team. The sea. son closes on Saturday, but the pen nant was cinched on Monday when Holyoke won two games.
 When Thackara played with Water bury last season he met and fell in love with Miss Katherine N. Country of that city. When he proposed mar riage she put him of, saying she would not become his wife until his team won the championship. Water bury made a great fight for the pen nant. but lost tO Norwich and the wedding was postponed.
 Before this season started Thackara again tried to persuade Miss Comfy to marry him, but sue responded: First win a championship" Thackara was traded and became a member of the HOlyoke team The fight for several weeks has been between HoIvoke and Waterbury. but the former is now sure of the pennant- After the decis- i've games were played Thackara sought out his sweetheart and toll her to name the day. She was game. and yesterday they went to City Clerk Newell and obtained a marriage H. eense. The ceremony will he uzr- formed some dav this week
