A destructive fire occurred az
Humps Station. along the r. r. r.,
three miles east of Taneytown, Mon
day afternoon. The large frame store
and warehouse belonging to Jeremiah
kump, together with barn and shed
In close proximity, were destroyed
by fire. The wind blew gale. which
caused the flames to spread with such
rapidity that nothing in the store
could be saved. The loss is heavy,
with some insurance The supposi-
tion is that the fire originated from
sparks from locomotive OF freight
train.

BASEBALL.


The Westminster Base Ball Asso-
eiatlon VIII play its first game OF ball
IN this city May l with the strong
team OF Mt. st, Marys College, Em-
mitsburg. Connolly. the Mountain
eers crack pitcher, will do the twlrI-
ing Tor the visitors, while the home
team viii have man in the box that
VIII make everybody sit up and take
notice as he sends his victims TO the
bench for a rest The first game
must be won. and the home team will
snow the visitors how easy 1t is to do
this.
The executive committee after much
consideration and negotiation, has
succeeded In getting Messrs. Albaugh
4 Babylon to consent TO lease the
grounds In front OF the LongweIl
mansion. This ground has been Sc
iected because OF It's central location
ana nearness 10 Main street, and at
very little expense can be made one
OF the best athletic grounds In the
state. The association will begin at
once to put Il into shape.
AS TO the class OF team, that de-
pends upon the people. This il a
question for them 20 answer. The
team will be Just what the people OF
Westminster make II. III they want
a good team, they must give gener-
ously; II they want an extra good
team, team to play Hagerstown,
Frederick and the like, they must give
very generously.
While on the subject. Il may be well
TO call the public's attention to the
fact that the Westminster Base Ball
Association has been formed purely
for the purpose of giving Westminster
the greatest season OF sport and the
grandest opportunity for enjoyment
she has ever had.
The base ball team is to be the
property of the people OF Westminster
and the people win show the degree
OF their appreciation OF this fact by
their contribution now and their pres
ence at the games during the season.
We want 700 people to attend the
first game, and hope the people will
be good enough to surprise us by
turning out 1000 strong. Do either.
and Westminster will boast OF team
second to none in Maryland and vir-
ginia.
The Westminster high school base
ball team defeated the ST. Johns Cath-
ollie school team on Easter Monday
by a score OF 10 to 2. Both teams
played fine bali until the eighth in
ming, when the w. II. s. took a brace
and got runs in the Sth and 9th in
nings. The feature of the game was
the playing Of Green and Eyerhart.
