But the water bury "cops' are keeping mum.
 However, there's a rumor af1oat that the superintendent says this year the manager must be married man or else he'll have no base ball at all
 Now as last years manager was d "bachelor'' and he brought them out champions of the state all the .scops'' want him, this year, and the latest news is that their favorite IS going to see that their wishes wilt be granted, and from what everybody says he will be qualified and be en- tirely satisfactory to the super De- fore the time arrives for the first game. We'll, if such be the case, wait. watch and see where our ..cops" nine will wind up.

BOX : SOUNDED.
But Fire in Center Did Not Amount
 to Much.

Last evening about o'clock when Exchange place was crowded with persons out for d constitutional walk and a little sight seeing, box : was sounded, calling the fire department to the Paris tailoring establishment on Bank street. The store is over the West Side Savings bank at the corner of Bank and Center streets and as a result the streets ill the vicinity were lined with people eager to get glimpse of the blaze. The fire was in d closet and although it was going briskly when the tiremen arrived, it took the boys only a few minutes to quench it with chemicals. The store is managed by J. N Biancardi while Frank D. Pagan, formerly sealer of weights and measures is one of the proprietors. The loss amounted to about $300 Manager Biancardi could not understand how the fire could have started unless 1t was by the crossing of the electric light wires in tbe partition.
