OFFICERS PLAY BALL
STAFFS OF GOVERNOR AND
GEN. COLLINS IN FRAY.
A Tie Score Agreed Upon as a Com
promise, with % Errors for Each
side-struck Out by Highballs.

CAMP Stokes. Sea Girt. July 81
Fun in camp is not limited to the Sec
ond Regiment. Second Troop and Bat
terry h. The constant desire to amuse
themselves has even gone to the Gov
ernor's cottage, and the members of
the staff there have the baseball fever
now.
Edward W Gray. secretary to the
Governor, framed a challenge to the
members of the staff of the brigade
commander. General Dennis r. Collins,
to play ball. General Collins's men
were not to be bluffed, and the trouble
arrived yesterday afternoon. If the
game had not been called at the end of
the fifth inning they would probably
be playing until the end of the en-
campment-Saturday.
No one claims to know what the core
was, and both sides claim % errors.
The umpire, Judge Starr, Of Gloucester
County. decided that Is to Is as a final
result would do for q compromise.
Captain Mahlon Margerum broke up
the game by appearing on the field
with a bucketful of refreshments. A
detachment from the hospital corps was
on hand. and there were several cases
for them to treat.
General Collins weighs 300 or more
pounds, and is short for his weight,
lie was hit every time he came TO the
bat, although the pitchers tried to
throw curves that would go around
him.
Governor Stokes was unexpectedly
called TO Boston yesterday morning,
an dwill not return until late today. In
his absence President of the Senate
Bloomfield s.. Minch is acting Cover

Alderman Leveen told of the wishes
Of the Democratic party. for freedom"
sever days in the week. with no oicta-
ton from any one on what they should
do or how they should do it on the
seventh, and of how the party was
doing all in its power to bring about
this condition.
Alderman Bray dwelt on what the
Democratic party had already done to
secure the worklngman his liberty" 1t
had done all in its power to have an
open Sunday in the city, he said, and
though the amendment to the Bishops
law introduced in the Legislature by a
Democrat was defeated. it was not
through any lack of work on the part
of the Democratic members at Trenton,
but through the 'narrow-mindedness"
of the South Jersey farmers" The
Mayor and Common Council, Mr.. Bray
went on, had put themselves on record
as being in favor of an open Sunday,
and it was up to the people TO decide
what they wanted at the next election.
Harry Weiner, chairman, reported

STOLE A WATCH

a string of horse cars were standing
on the siding in this city last Saturday,
waiting for an Ann Arbor freight engine
to transfer them to the Pere Marquette
tracks.
A gentleman named Mcclure was in
one of the cars busy with his horses, hav-
ing hung his coat, the pockets of which
contained a valuable watch and chain
and fountain pen, on the wall of the car.
When he looked around he missed his
coat and immediatly commenced to
make inquiries of the men who made up
the train crew. His inquiry being Of no
avail he came up town and asked for a
search warrant which was granted by
Justice Chadwick. Under sheriff

coal docks and found suspicious look

He was seized and the coat, minus the
valuables, was discovered buried in the

Fred Mills and who was evidently a
professional hobo, was taken to the Office
of Justice Chadwick, where he disclosed

WILL MEET IN ALBION

The announcement that the annual
session OF the Michigan conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
begins in Albion September 10 recalls
10 the citizens here the fact that the
conference had previously convened
in Albion four times. Few OF the
present preachers of the state will
remember that the first time confer
ence was held there was in Septem-
Der, 1850, with Bishop T. A Morris
the presiding officer.
Fifteen years later the Methodists
again honored the city with their
presence, the conference of Septem-
Der 10, 1865, being presided over by
Bishop +. r. Ames, with DR.. l. r.
Fiske, for twenty years president OF
Albion college, as secretary On
September 3, 1888, thepreachers gath
cred there again, Bishop w. L. Harris
being in the chair The last time
the conference was there was twelve
years ago, September IS, 1895, with
Bishop John +. Hurst welding the
gavel, and Rev p J. Maveety, now
an educational field secretary in the
western states, keeping tab on the
proceedings.
1t is estimated that about one-half
OF the ministers in the Michigan con-
ference, and, in fact, almost as many
OF the Detroit conference, have been
students at Albion college at some
time in their career and many have
sheepskins earned there
