DINGLE TURNS THE TRICK.

-
Contested Game Dingle Steals Home
In the Tenth Inning and Wins for
The Locals.
1t was the little Manager, Felix
Dingle, who turned the trick in We'd
nesday's game, and made the contest
Game Cook victory when a tie score
seemed inevitable. 1t was in the tenth
inning, with the score 1 to 1, Dingle
reached first on q clean hit to center,
Wynne trying to bunt was out on a
pop fly to Mcpherson, Springs reach
ed first on Eetner's miscue, advanc-
ing Dingle to second. Perkins flew out
to catcher. Lee drew four bad ones,
and the runners advanced peg.
While Leitner and Mcpherson held
a brief consultation, the foxy little
manager slide across the pan, and the
game was over. 1t all happened so
quick that half the people on the
grand stand did not know what had
happened.
The game was an excellent exhibi-
ton throughout. The Game Cocks
were sore from the day before, and
the Mechanics were determined to
blot out the ignominy OF the first de-
feat, 50 with the starch out OF the
Chicks and the Mechanics in fine

on balls. stole second, was advanced
to third when Williams hit to Garner
and scored on passed ball. thus tyins
up the score. The way that the flnal
score was made and the game won
was told in the opening paragraph.
The game was about as fine a prac-
tice exhibition as one could we'll ex-
pect to see. The battery work of
both teams was Of such an order as

HIGH IN AIR
Race of Four Balloons iH One of Which Will bs a Woman
 Was Begun Today.

North Adams, Mass, Aug 14.- Four well tried ous balloons, guided by experienced pilots, were assem- bled here to-day for 30-mile point to-point race to-day, the first event of this kind ever held in the United States. The contes ants, who will have as an incentive a valuable cup offered by A. Holland Forbes of New York, will be required just before starting to name a certain city or town at least 30 miles distant as their point of landing, and mus come down within 10 miles of the post office of that place. The con- test will be held under the auspices of the North Adams Aero club, the officers of which will have charge or the start and finish of the race and will send the first balloon off at D. m.
 In order to assist the aeronauts, saunders" of small balloons, will be dispatched earlier in the day to test the direction of the wind in the upper air, and this sounding will be- gin by or 10 o'clock in the fore> noon.
 A feature of the race will be he presence of a woman, Mrs H. H. Clayton, in the balloon Boston, as a companion of c. J. Glidden of Boston, the pilot. Mrs Clayton is the wife of the we'll known Blue Hill observatory expert on upper air cur rents.
 The early indications favored yves. terly or southwes. erly winds, and the selections of towns in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire or in Northern Massachusetts as alighung places.
 The balloons which will compete In to-day's event with their probable occupants are as follows:
 Bos on, entered by the Aero club of New England, with c. J. Glidden as pilot and Mrs H. H. Clayton as assistant.
 Greylock, owned and piloted by pr R. M. Randall of North Adams, as- sistant, Daniel Newton of Boston.

RIDE ON SPRINKLER.
0akville Man Determined to Get on
 Car Last Night.

The conductor of the sprinkling car had hard time of it last night in Exchange place keeping an Oak ville man from jumping onto the rear platform. The would-be pas senger mistook the sprinkler for a regular trolley and evidently being in a hurry to get home made hard fight to get on. The conductor tried to explain, but the man on the street wouldn't listen and refused to get out of the way until the sprinkler start ed up and reached out its great arm across the street and threw water clear over to the sidewalk. Then the westbound tourist realized his mis- take and instead of showing bad tenn per he stepped to one side and laugh ed heartily at the humor of the thing. He didn't have all the fun to himself for many others laughed with him.

GROWS SERIOUS
Looks ss if LiIley and Ills Friends are Getting Desper-
 ale inc Past Few Days.
LAKE MEN BUSY

Special to Waterbury Democrat.) Hartford, Aug 14.-The forces be- hind George L. Lilley are beginning l thus early in the campaign to send | out stories that are untrue as regards
 the caucuses being held in the various towns. Even such staid old papers as the Hartford Courant is being led into error or is willing to be led. This morning the report was published
 that in the town of Enfield two dele
 gates were elected last night for Mir
 Lilley and two for MT Lake. The
 report further stated that Mir Morri- son led the forces for Lilley, but gra- ciously allowed two of the four dele
 gates to be chased on the side of Lake. The fact of the matter is that the four delegates elected last night are all pledged for MT Lake and fur thermore, MT Morrison, who is alleg
 ed to have worked for Mir Lilley is working tooth and nail for Mr Lake
 In like manner other reports are be- ing sent out and published in papers, which for some reason seem to be un- der the control or the influence of MT Lilley, which would tend to make the race of MT Lake look like joke. The truth of the. whole controversy is that scare has been thrown into the ranks of the Lilley men in the past few days and many of the lead CTS in several districts, who were be- lieved to be favorable to the Water bury mans candidacy, have been found hobnobbing and working with the Lake forces. It will not be sur prising, therefore, if such work will continue, for the Lilley packers have found that runaway race for the nomination successfully blocked be- fore 1t really had begun.
 In Windsor Locks last night two delegates were elected for Mir Lake and yet the morning papers, who fla vor Mir Lilley, made no mention of the fact. The voters of the state need not be surprised to see state ments of the standing of the two men issued in which Mir LiIley is leading from two and three to one. This is all done to mislead the citizens who are anxious to see some other than George l.. Lilley receive the republi- can nomination for governor. In a few days true statement will be giv- en out, with guarantee mark attach ed to 1t and perhaps some names may appear in the list for Mir Lake who are now boomed as Lilley exhorters.

Supposed Woman shopIifter Wore
 Skirts Over His Trousers.

Atlantic City, Aug 14.-A dashing young prisoner in a princess gown and a broad-brimmed sailor straw shocked matron and surprised the police last night by turning out to be a man in woman's garb.

 The sleuth detected the petty thievery of piece of lace and promptly arrested the perpetrator. A search for the missing lace began in the matron's room in the city hall. A scream foated through the corri- dors and the matron beat nasty re- treat when snugly fitting skirt slid on and revealed pair of trousers. 1nen the turnkey hustled the un- skirted masquerader on to a cell in the mems section.

FATAL WRECK
One Man Was Killed at ihe Naugatuck Junction Early
 This Morning.
SIGNAL NOT SEEN

! Bridgeport, Aug 14.-One man was killed, and at least one other in= i jured this morning when the engine 1 and three cars of a freight train bound from New Haven for Bridge port over the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, left the rails at Naugatuek Junction and toppled into ditch, the locomotive turnin;s on it's side. The dead man, Con- ductor Ryan of the train, was caught under the engine cab, his body being pinned down and practically cut in two by it. The engineer was in- jured, it is said, and was taken to hospital
 It is said that the conductor and brakeman were riding in the cab at the time of the accident and it is supposed that the conductors death was due to the fact that he was probably the last to jump when the locomotive began to go over and jumped too late to avoid being caught. The fireman and brakeman are believed to have escaped injury. It is said that the engineer ran by signal and that by the working of the automatic device at that point the train ditched itself.
 Traffic on all lines leading from that point was held up for some time until the obstruction had been cleared away.
 According to Engineer Dean he said he proceeded slowly on the look out for signal, but on account Of the heavy fog he went by without seeing the signal. He states that he applied the brakes, but that the tracks were wet and slippery and that the train continued until it ran into the derailment and the engine toppled over.

Miss Sholes Is said to have been greatly dejected over the news.
