Base Ball.

PARIS H. 8. 2; EDWARD LITTLE H. 8. O.
Paris High School continued the good
work it has been doing In base ball this
season Saturday afternoon on the high
school grounds when they defeated Ed.
ward Little High Of Auburn by q score
of two to nothing. Despite the fact that
the weather was cold and very disagree
able there was q large crowd present,
who were delighted to see the home boys
walk off with deserved victory.
Penfold's work In the box was the
feature of the game, and although he has
pitched some fine games, he never did
better than in this contest and high
school pitchers of the state will have to
travel some when they hang up better
record. The third man to bat in the
game got hit, and his work during the
rest OF the game showed that he just
happened to connect for luck bingle.
The visitors got nothing that resembled
bit in the next eight and one-third in.
nipgs. Nineteen of them struck out and
only one man was given free passage to
first base.
While the score shows that Paris made
only two hits off Cooper, the visiting
pitcher was extremely fortunate. Time
after time the Paris boys connected with
the ball squarely only to see 1t 60
straight at one of the visiting players,
and only first class support enabled
Cooper to make as good showing as he
did. He got four men on strikes and
did not issue pass.
Paris had two Of Its regular men out
of the game on account Of sickness but
the substitutes gave fine account of
themselves and Abbott on first base
showed that he has the making of first
class ball player. Paris battery did
most OF the work for the home team but
the catch which l.. Davis made at the
beginning of the eighth was pretty one
and no knowing what might have hap
pened If the ball had got away from him.
Sam pson, A. Bartlett and Nelson contrib
uted the fielding features for the
visitors.
In the enthusiasm which Paris people
feel for the team, they must not forget
to give good share of the credit to
Coach Keaney. he has done wonders
with the boys, his presence on the bench
keeps them steady, and there is no one
working harder to keep them playing up
to their best form. Give credit to them
all, they deserve it. The score:

Mrs. J. II. Russell Burned to Death.
REMAINS FOUND IN THE RUINS OF HER
HOUSE AT EAST OXFORD.

In fire which completely destroyed
the buildings where she resided alone,
Mrs. Ellen Russell, widow of Jesse Il.
Russell, of East Oxford, lost her life
Wednesday night.
Apparently the first known of the fire
was when the light of it was seen by
some young men returning home in an
other part Of the town between IL and II
O'Clock. They determined somewhere
nearly its location, and telephoued to
some of the ueighbors near the Russell
place. The Russell buildings were al
some little distance from any other
house.
When the earliest arrivals reached the
scene, the buildings had fallen in. Even
then the remains of Mrs. Russell could
be seen near what had been bay win
dow, but it was then 50 hot that no one
could get near, and the remains fell
through into the cellar before it was
possible to get at them.
II was evident that Mrs. Russell did
not meet her death in bed, as it was
some distance from the bed where she
was first seen. Some carpenter tools
which had belonged to her husband were
found at a place which Indicated that
they had been carried out of the house,
and it is thought by some that she had
dragged out tool chest and then gone
back into the house for something more.
Others doubted her being able to get the
chest out alone.
The remains of Mrs. Russell we're al
most totally consumed, all that was re-
covered from the ruins Of the buildings
being placed in pail
Mr. Russell died some fifteen years
ago, and Mrs. Russell had for long
time lived alone on the place. She was
native of Hartford, her maiden name
being Ellen Sessions, and was u years
Of age. She leaves no children OF near
relatives.
The origin Of the fire is not known,
but it was observed by neigbbors that
Mrs. Russell was apparently burning rub
bish out back Of the barn, about 6 O'Clock
Wednesday night. Neighbors who hap
pened to be looking in that direction
about 10 o'clock noticed nothing out OF
the ordinary, but as fresh wind blew
during the evening it is thought that
sparks may have been blown from the
embers of the bonfire to the barn.
There was an insurance Of $500 on the
burned buildings.

Town Tax Rate will be 10 Mills.
The valuation of the town of Paris has
been completed by the assessors, and it
is now possible to know something
about what the size of our taxes will be.
Following are the figures of the town
valuation:
Resident real estate. VI Os5,6D.OO
Non re sident real estate. $4,000
Total real estate u ,lIS,oSOOO

Total valuation loso,soOVo
Increase over 1917 .-------.-----------t G,sooU
Polls taxed, s6S. Polls not taxed, l24.
The rate Of tax will be- 2 cents on a
dollar or $1,000 on a thousand. This,
by the way, is just mill more than was
estimated by the Democrat on the day Of
the annual town meeting, the extra mill
being on the state tax, which Is five
mills instead OF four as an optimistic
legislature was then predicting. The
Paris state tax is S7,SS7.57, the
county tax S2,l74 80, and amounts to be
assessed for town purposes go, 10000,
making total of 1872 ,56l 90, in addition
TO which the overlap will give few
hundred dollars.
