EmeraIds Vanquish Hooters.

At the fair grounds Saturday the
 Emeralds took revenge upon the
 French Rooters for their 14inning de-
 feat last June. At the start the game
 bade fair to be a pitchers battle, with the honors a shade in favor of Hamel,
 off whom but three hits were corralled,
 while the Hooters registered seven safe swats. All the scoring was the result of errors, the Rooters proving the worst offenders with seven to their oppo- nents four. The French team scored first in the fourth inning on a fast hit ball down the first base line which Casey could not quite get, followed by two passed balls, the second on a third strike. The Emeralds came back in their half with a brace of tallieS, following a base on balls, hit too hot for the first baseman. and an CT TOT when Cote at third fell down in his anxiety to reach a grounder and retire the side. In the following in ming the winners added one more, when with three on bases Left Fielder Rivers missed fly. Two more runs would have scored had not Mccarthy run in from second ahead of Killourey, who stopped for a moment on third, and after a short discussion of the rules the side was declared out. This ended the scoring. Two double plays and the excellent pitching of Killourey and Hamel featured the contest. It is likely the French team will ask for another game, each having one to it's credit

CEMENT RETAINING WALLS.
To Be Built by Railroad Company on
 South Main and Front Streets.

A decided improvement is to be made by the railroad company on South Main and Front streets, this to consist of the building of cement re- taining walls. One wall is to be built from 8 point about opposite Keith's stable on South Main street to the Front street bridge, another from the Putnam Coal company's property to the north side and east end of the Front street bridge and another from the north wall and west end of the Front street bridge to near Bradley's beef house. These walls are intended to prevent the slides of free earth and the gradually wearing away of the dirt entertainments about those parts of the railroad company's property. The cement walls will add very much to the appearance of the vicinity where they are to be installed.
 The materials that are to be used in the construction work are now arrfv- ing here.
