ANOTHER VICTORY.
Randolph Locals Played Hungry
g Stoma chs to StandstIl.

Over the river on the Moody diam ond
the Randolph Locals won another victo-
ry last night and that by a decisive
score. Their opponents were the Hungry
Stomachs, who, headed by Capt. John w
Grant, swooped down upon the diamond
with their supporters 200 strong.
The opposing team did valiant work
upon the baked beans, cold meats,
pickles. cake, pie and coffee and went out
in ORDER Umpire Fatty Moore, who
was also gatekeeper, declaring the Locals
winners. The Ladies' Aid coached the
Locals from the bleachers and furnished
the bats, gloves and masks for the play
crs, while Mrs Moody gave the use of
the diamond The gate receipts we're $2f
The batting order of the Randolph Lo-
calls was as follows: Walter Goodwin, C;
Ernest Spinney, p: Roy Harris, 1b; Har-
old Corpin, ss;, George Moore, 2b; Roy
Peaslee, 3b; Howard Eastman, If; Merle
Pelkey, c: Lewis Cheney, IF. Spinney's

tute. Everett Littlefield carried the bats

Steam Fire Engine Tested.

The steam fire engine was taken
from the Hose No. 2 house last even
ing, where it has been stored for the
past winter and taken to the junction
OF Gilman and Center streets, where
it was tested. 1t was found to be in
very poor condition, just such a con-
Iitiop as the firemen expected and
would be no earthly use in the case
OF need. 1t vas long time before suf-
icient steam could be produced and
after that the engine acted very bad
ly. reminding one of a freight train
coming up Front street hill. The
stream from the nozzle of the 100 feet
of hose laid did not have any more
pressure than from hydrant and
would make very poor impression on
high building. Those in charge of
the steamer last evening tried every
way possible to remedy the trouble,
but it was beyond them.

Plans for New Hall Discussed.

The directors of the Gardiner Realty
Co. met yesterday afternoon at the office
of j.. e. Ballard. Plans for the new en-
tcrtainment hall were discussed and q
number of different ideas expressed.
I.angdon 6. Paul. who is a practical ar
chtect and builder. was instructed to
present sketches to the directors working
out the different ideas. These plans will
be considered at a subsequent meeting of
the directors and a definite plan agreed
upon for the hall. Although the details
of construction will not be agreed upon
until then, it is safe to say that Gardi-
ner's new amusement hall will be n mod
crn and up to date building, which will
he adapted for use as an Opera house, q
convention hall and for indoor sports.
There is some objection among the pro-
moters of the new hall to calling it the
Coliseum and Editor Morrell of the Re-
porter Journal, who is much interested
in the proposition, is asking the ladies of
Gardiner to suggest a suitable name for
the new building. Among the names al
ready suggested are "The Enterprise"
and "Thc Auditorium"

BELFAST.
Death of Miss Elizabeth Ray-Mrs. NJ.
w. Strout Celebrates 91st Birthday.

learn of the death of little Miss Eliz-
aheth Ray, the 14-year-old daughter
of the late Herbert and Mrs. Rebecca
EdgComb of this city The child was
of the sweetest disposition and a great
favorite with her schoolmates Of Grade
TX. She came home from school few
days ago and complained of not feel
ing well, but it was not thought that
she was seriously i'll until Saturday,
Wncn a physician was called and she
was found to be suffering with inflam-
nation of the bowels. All that medical
skill could do was done for the little
sufferer but in vain and she died at
8 p. NJ. Wednesday. The mother and
one brother. Sylvanus. survive. She
was the light of the home and since
the fathers death a few years ago had
been a great comfort to her mother,
whose loss is greater than words can
tell. In her school she will also be
missed for she had endeared herself
alike to teachers and schoolmates by
her sweet disposition and unselfish
ways.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, but it will probably be
held Saturday afternoon.
Another young old lady to celebrate
her birthday anniversary few days
ago is Mrs. NJ. w. Strout, who lives
with her daughter, Mrs. G. l.. Lom-
bard, in this city. Mrs. Strout is Oh
years of age and still enjoys good
health and is as active as MANY wo-
men many years her Junior. She is a
great reader and would read until
midnight did not her daughter lovingly
insist that she be more careful of her
eyes. She is able to do many little du-
ties about the house, ever dear to q
Woman's heart. She was happily sur
prised on her birthday to have a visit
from her son, Oscar l.. Strout of
Boston. She received many flowers in
token of the day and many friends
called to pay their respects. Mrs.
Strout is as keen and interested in
what she reads as she was many years
ago and her reading is very extensive.
She keeps fully posted on all the do
