at St james, l.. l. He bore the trip
well but his insistent plea to be al

three distressing Incidents. Once he
sank to his knees as he tried to enter
an automobile and in ascending the
steps of his home he fell on all tours
from overexertion. Despite his weak

cheerful mood, and once more at

The mayor left the hospital at $50
yesterday morning. He had been
there since Tuesday, the 9Th, the day
on which he was shot by James j.
Gallagher, a discharged city employee
on the deck of the steamship Kaiser

He walked unaided from his room
on the fourth floor to the elevator and
from the ground floor to the automo-
bile in which he was driven to a New
York police patrol boat waiting for
him at a pier in Hoboken In enter
ing the automobile however, he over

He walked across the gangplank

TWO MEN IN JAIL
CHARGED WITH
HORSE THEFT
George H. Fay Of WiIIiamstOwn
and F. Stevens of PlttstOWn
ARRESTED IN GREENFIELD
Charged With Stealing Horse and
Carriage Belonging to Charles
E. Galusha

Sheriff Fred Godfrey and Deputy
Sheriff John Nash arrived here at IL
o'clock from Greenfield, Mass, with
George Henry Fay of Williamstown
and Frank Stevens of Pittstown, N.
Y, who were arrested at Greenfield
on the charge of stealing horse and
carriage belonging to c. e. Galusha,
proprietor Of local livery stable.
The two men we're arrested in
Greenfield Sunday by Officer James
J. Burns, Jr., who recognized Fay
from a description forwarded to the
Greenfield officers from Bennington.
Burns is only % years OF age and
has been upon the Greenfield force
but a short time and his making OF
an important arrest from descrip-
ton is considered by officers Godfrey
and Nash to be a remarkably good In
stance Of detective work. Ofncers
Godfrey and Nash had not the slight
est difficulty in securing their men
in Greenfield and were shown every
courtesy by Chief of Police Manning.
Fay and Stevens came into Green
field on an electric car from Turner'S
Falls and we're at once taken into
custody by officer Burns who had
been detailed to the case. Telehons
communication with the authorities
here was at once opened and the
two alleged horse thieves are now IN
the Bennington county jail.
The horse and carriage which the
two men are accused of stealing was
let from the Galusha livery to Fay on
Wednesday of last week. The au'
thorities have every reason to believe
that the horse was disposed OF TO a
truck farmer living near LansingburA
Il Is understood that the carriage was
left at the truck farmers house but
was not sold. -
Both Fay and steySSs have admir-
ted their identity ano Fay has been

to whom he rented the outfit. States

Huckleberry Boys Scored Three

Four City League

The Pittsield team made its last
appearance in Bennington for the
season yesterday and won a league
game from the home team by score
of to A. In some respects it was
hard game for Bennington TO lose.
During the first five innings the
Huckleberry boys could do nothing
at all with Cookingham, the former
Worcester, n. Y, twirler, and were
BANKED in every period During the
same interval, however, the shire
city batters managed to find Bosk
for six hits, which, with some daring
work on bases and a costly error by
Finnegan, gave Manager Doherty's
men four runs.

pie OF hard shoots get away from him.
A couple Of good singles by Prindle
and Finnegan helped thing along and
when Cookingham finally pulled him
self out Of the hole by striking out
Drummey, Bennington had scored
three times.
During the remainder OF the game
there was excitement galore. The
fans were all standing up and shout
ing at the top OF their voices in the
hope OF pulling the game out OF the
fire. Their hopes dropped down TO
freezing point, however, in the eighth
when Hickey made a daring slide to
the plate and scored Pittsfeld's ffth
run. The temperature rose several
degrees when Bennington came to
bat for il was apparent that Cooking.
ham was again going wrong. He
passed two and Capt Doherty allowed
hot groander to bound over his
head. Bosk hit a long liner to right

tally to tie the score. Heath was
sent in TO bat from Drummey but

hit. Only three batters faced each
pitcher In the ninth.

start OF two runs. Only two OF Pitts

FOR BASE BALL AT NIGHT
comiskey's Chicago Grounds Receive
Their First Real Try Out

Chicago, Aug &c. A. Comisky's
recently installed lights received
their first real try out at the Amer
lean League grounds last night when
the Illinois Athletic club and Calum-
ct lacrosse teams battled for over two
hours in a fast match in the glare of
over 100000 candle power of light
which constitutes portion ofthe light
plant that will give Chicago night
base ball in the near future. The
plant proved itself equal to the occa-
sion for the test held up to what was
expected.
At no time during the 80 minutes of
play did the players find it hard to
follow the ball but the game proved
as fast and as interesting as if it had
been played in broad daylight. No
complaint was heard from the play
ers and with the roof lights uncover
ed the contestants were in no way
bothered by the force OF the lamps.
