but it could not be found, and workmen
employed to do the hauling were arrested,
but were dismissed for lack of evidence.
Montague found the money among
debris in small outbuilding on the farm
of which Burkowski had been tenant the

one who had found the money and had
been afraid to use it. OF the total amount
lost but one S. note was missing.

ELK MILLS TAKES EXCEPTION.

We have received lengthy commu-
nication from the manager of Elk Mills
base ball team, who takes personal affront
at the statements published in last weeks
issue of the MIDLAND JOURNAL relative to
the claim of his team to tie with Aber-
deem for the pennant. AS Aberdeen's
title to the pennant is so clear as to admit
OF no argument, and the communication
in question is in great part devoted to con-
demnation of the Rising Sun team, we
decline to give it space in our columns, to
the exclusion of other matters of more i'm
portance and interest to our readers in
general.
Concerning the statement that the Elk
Mills-Havre de Grace game played on the
morning of Oct. was arranged without
the knowledge or sanction of the League
President. which is branded as untrue, we
will merely state that DR.. Bratton, presi-
dent of the League, informed manager
Snyder of the Rising Sun team. on the
afternoon of the day the game was played,
that he knew nothing whatever of it, and
if our published statement is an untruth
t is not of our making.

State Road Work In AIIegany
County.

The road building now in operation
under Superintendent Mcdowell, of Port
Deposit, on the National pike west of
Frostburg, is moving forward. More sat-
isfactory and better road is being built
than at any time since the State began
the construction of this road.
About two hundred and fifty feet of
road is now being built daily. The
rocks which are being quarried on the
summit of Big Savage mountain for the
road are very hard and almost as desir-
able as limestone, and there is but little
doubt that the road built with these stones
will prove lasting and serviceable.
If the weather does not interfere, Con-
tractor Mcdowell and his men anticipate
the completion of the work as far west as
Thomas Johnson's residence before
winter sets in and also the repairing of
about goo feet of the road which was
built first with the very soft sandstone,
about which so much complaint was
made. Altogether the work on the pike
is progressing finely and Contractor Nc
Dowell and others in charge deserve
much commendation for the progress that
has been made.-Cumberland News.

HONORABLE SOCIETY" OF CRi. ANIMALS IS IN LEAGUE
 WITH THE POLICE.

ROME, April l.-Gennaro Abbate- maggio's revelations at Viterbo have confirmed the suspicion that the Camorra is in league with the police. He has also furnished sufficient proofs to show that he told the truth about the organization and methods of the society.
 His story of the Cuoccolo murders however, unfortunately is based on hearsay and secondhand evidence. There is little hope that the prosecu- tion will be able to secure corrobora- tive evidence of Abbatemaggio' state ments. The Camorra will SC to that. ments. The Camorra will see to that. lations of the chief informer will lead to the conviction of the prisoners. The trial, however, will serve to show that the Camorra exists with undi- unfinished power, since forty-tWo of it's members who are admittedly con- firmed criminals may be acquitted for lack of evidence.
 VITERBO, April 1-Enrico Alfano, the Camorrist leader, was cross-exam- ined at the opening of the trial today in regard to the murder of Gennaro OuOCCOIO anu dlSO dS to Hlo 1oLHeS- tion with the Camorra. He denied that he knew Cuoccolo. declaring em- phatically that he never saw the man in his whole life
 He reiterated, also, his previous statement that he had never been a member of the Camorra. He said that Luigi Fucci, the "chief" of the Camorra, in asserting that he, CAL fano) was a member of the Honorable Society did so because he was in league with Abbatemaggio, the chief 'informer, and the carbineers.

ANCIENT CITY 0F
 ARIZONA
BUILDINGS OF SANDSTONE FOUND
 BURIED BENEATH PRAl- 1 RTE DUST.

Still another oldest city in the world has been discovered, says the Chicago Tribune When T. Hewitt Myring found vases in Peru in ruins which were said to have been 1000 years old it was imagined that the re- mains of early civilizations had been pushed as far into antiquity as they would ever go.
 But A. Lafave, a mining engineer, has found the relics of town in an Arizona tableland near Phoenix which he insists are at least 10000 years old. The buildings are on a level stretch of country where neither silt nor wash was possible, and yet the ruins were covered wit. ten feet of prairie dust, which the discoverer claims required ages to accumulate.
 The buildings of sandstone show great architectural skill, and in the walls were found box of cotton bols and a sealed jar of corn, both well preserved The Arizona climate does not permit the growth of cotton in the present age, so MT. Lafave as sumcs that sufficient time must have elapsed since the cotton which he found was brown to have wrought a complete change in the character of the country. This period he also gauges as something like 10000 years. He is satisfied that the ruins are older than those of Nineveh or Baby lon. He believes that the race which built this town was possessed of high civilization from the abundance of artistically wrought pottery and that Is subsequently was broken up by in- ternal dissension and possibly de- generated into the cliff dwellers tribes.

CTS is the one that usually wins the championship A team must have at least two thinking ball players to be a contender. and if it has four the championship is in sight
 Among the players we do not use the word signal With us 1t is a sign There are not so many signs on a ball club as the public would believe. Of course the catcher must sign the pitcher for every ball that he throws That Is to prevent con fusion, or. as we say, to keep from crossing each other The catcher has sign for a curve ball, a fast ball and a slow ball. The ball players all curve balls such as the drop and the outcurve, are called a curve The catcher gives the same sign for any one of them.
 We do not call ball that jumps in curve. Ball players do not rec ognize the incurve. That Is called a fast ball Any ball thrown by a right handed pitcher with sufficient speed will jump inward to slight degree. The outcurve and drop are unnatural curves and the ball must be spun in an unnatural manner to get that pc liar break.
 The only other sign of importance is the one the batter gives to the runner when he intends to hit the ball If he wants the runner to start as he swings (the hit and run play) he gives a certain sign. There are any number of signs used for this play Sometimes the batter gives it by rubbing has hands over the small end of the bat. Again he may give it by knocking the dust from his shoes with the big end of the bat
 Veteran baserunners study the any mannerisms or peculiar motion when about to throw to the plate the runner will detect 1t and start for second once knew pitcher who had a peculiar habit of twisting his foot and slightly lifting his heel every time he was about to throw 10 the plate. He did not use that motion when throwing to first
 i We caught onto this peculiarly and stole bases by the wholesale That pitcher went all season without understanding why so many bases were stolen on him. If he had only kept that foot down We couldn't have got the jump on him.

HEADLINES CREATE OPINION
Divinity School Dean Says Teachers Should Accept Laws of the Ad- vertisino Man.

 PARIS. April In spite of the fact that Sam Langford had all the best of it in his twenty round go with Sam MCNey this evening the referee decided the match was a draw and as a result the audience gave ex- pression to their displeasure by a succession of hoots and derisive calls that lasted for at least ten minutes.
 McVey constantly clinched and held on. to the disgust of the spectators, who voiced their protests loudly at all times The referee frequently cautioned McVey, but he paid not the least attention.

 ] LONDON, April l.-The sixty eighth annual boat race between OK ford and Cambridge universities, which was rOwed this afternoon on the Put ney course of the Thames, was won by Oxford by two and three-Quarter lengths The official time for the race was Is minutes and 29 seconds, which break the record of the OK ford Cambridge regattas. The best previous record was IS: 41, which was made by the Oxford crew in the race of 1893
 The weather conditions favored Cambridge There was slight north wind and the water was calm and unruffied Oxford won the toss for position and chose the Surrey side of the river.
 2:36 D. m Cambridge drew ahead at the start. Dul oAlOIu SOOl Sot up even The Dark Blues took the lead and increased the distance between the boats until they were two and a half lengths ahead at the two and lhree-quarter mile mark. Oxford led by three lengths at Barnes Bridge half a mile from the finish.
 Cambridge put up a game struggle. She made a big effort to get up to the Dark Blues just before reaching Barnes Bridge and succeeded in re- ducing Oxford's lead by length. The Dark Blues, however. kept the race well in hand and keeping steadi. ly ahead won by two and three-quar' ter lengths as they crossed the line Oxford gained no advantage by talk ing the Surrey side. Both crews were helped along by an unusually strong flood tide. with the water in perfect condition.
 The Prince of Wales and Prince Albert followed the race on board a steamboat Three aviators, includ ing Claude Grahame White, on arTiv. ing from Hendon circled above the starting point before the race began Grahame-White afterward flew over the boats for the greater part of the distance.
