One Day.
 Alfred Benoit, 2. was seriously burned Tuesday afternoon when his blouse caught afire while he was playing with small lighted candles in Cargill park. After receiving first aid treatment he was rushed to the Day KimbaH hospital, where every effort was made to ease his sufferings. His condition Tuesday evening was report ed al serious.
 Alfred and a companion, Anthony Bonneville, son of MT. and Mrs Will liam Bonneville, of Elm street, were playing about Cargill park when the accident occurred. The little fellows had some small candles which they were using to amuse themselves. Having lighted one, Alfred threw it into the air. When it came down it came in COptaCt with his filrny sum- mer blouse and the light material at once burst into flames. Alfred and the Bonneville boy tried as best they could to eXtinguish the blazing cloth, Alfred meanwhile shrieking as he began to suffer from the burns
 E. L. Kelley, who was at his place of business near by, rushed over to the assistance of Alfred, and others quickly gathered. Dr. E. L. Perry was summoned from his office.
 At the hospital it was found that the boys chest was severely burned, as was the left side and arm, the burns being deep and large. The injured boy is the son of MT and Mrs George Benoit.
 No Sunday Ball Game.
 There will be no baseball game in Putnam next Sunday. The local team will go to North GrosvenordaIe for game with the team representing that town.
 It was stated here Tuesday after neon by a director of the Putnam tea mthat no effort was made to ar range a game here for Sunday beca use of the fact that it is Chautauqua Sun day. It was stated for the team that the Sunday baseball promoters have no desire to oppose any arrang gements made for the coming Sunday by staging another attraction that would be in the nature of competition.
 There was some talk about two weeks ago that an effort might be made to retaliate if Sunday baseball was stopped here, but having escaped that experience the baseball men are inclined to be charitable toward other Sunday enterprises of an entertain mont nature. so are going to take the team out of town for the day.
 Other Sunday games are to be scheduled for August.
