BASE BALI. ON ROLLERS.
Binghamton Enthuaiaata Mount Th,n
aelvaa and Tumola Through a Clamj
(Prom the Binghamton Republican.) ,
The base ball game at the l‘ioi*r
Rink last evening was the uust
amusing exhibition over offered in a
rink in this section it also attracted ri
immense crowd wbieli literals
packed the building until standiig
room was ala premium. The cop
testants at tlicbat were the Uinghau
tons sml the Rochester* with the rej
alar players of these clubs.
Biit few of the ball tossers hal
skated before and when they weit
into practice,on Monday it looked a-f 1
they could never play a game at tft -
time advertised. '1 lie boy* put in a}*?
the spare in practice how ever, ati*
when at 5.30 lust evening the td
nines sailed out on the smooth floir
they skated quite well.
some giant would reel about unstead
ily on Ids pin*, but thi* was expeetrh
and the crowd cheered and laughcl.
The two clubs after skating aroufd
the floor several times, look positkm
and began buslrie-s. It could bo seltt
that the Binghamton battery, Albert,
pitcher, and O'Rourke, catcher, wl
rnttch the best, and it is believed tint
the skilful skating and playing <*f
these two did much to ward the (tit
feat of the visitors. Five iiuviijf*
were played and the score at ‘.lie fin
ish stood J toO in.favor of the Bing
hamton-. The Binghamton- scored
two in the first inning undone in tie
third.
Tito running of bases was where life
fun canto in, and as the runners tum
bled rather than skated around the
base*, falling in their wild career and
knocking the feet out from under all
near them, the audience solmekcd.
Tltu most successful runners set me i
to be those who skated until w ithin
five or six feet of the base and then
making a wild leap in the air, landed
silting square on the bases. OI course
this was not a real graceful, gentle
way of stealing up, but it wa sure
and a gobd stop was made. One of
the Rochester , it corpulent, determin
ed fellow, had u trick of I ailing on Id*
face, putting one hand on Site base
and holding the other up for judgment
Tin* individual and Brcanahan of the
Binghamton*, perspired until the
moisture fairly dripped from their
tltiger.:. Their great bare arm* glis
tened like those of an Indian warriot
greased for a ring wrestle.
THE WHISKY MEN MUST PAY.
Attorney (ieneral Garland makes
short work of the plea that the *cven
m milts extension of the bonded whis
ky period under the pretense of ex
porting the whirkv. works a release!
from liability for the tax. He hold*
that the exportation bond is forfeit*
oil at the expiration of the period
and that- tho government may take
it* choice of means of collection by
proceeding to collect either upon the
forfeited bond or by the usual meth
od of distraint, lie recommends,
however, the adoption of lite latter
plan, as being the most expedi
tion*.
As llto tax upon a large portion of
this whisky i* already due the Secre
tary of the Treasury should proceed
at once to act upon the suggestion of
the Attorney (ieneral. The proposal
to export nnever anything more
than n pretense to gain time and the
whiky owner* find themselves at
tlie expiration of the seven months
just whore they were at it* beginning.
They do not want toex|K>rt the whis
ky because there is no foreign demand
for it and the home market is just as
badly overstocked now as it was
then.
In point of fact, the whole system
of extension* has been a mistake from
the first and has done the whiskv pro
ducers more harm titan good. If
they had be compelled to pay the tax
es promptly at the expiration of the
original bonded period the . present
over-stocked condition of the market
could never have existed. That
which was probably intended as a
favor has proved to be no favor, as
the market is burdened with the whis
ky that will not sell and the taxes are
still due. The only way tne surplus
will ever lie worked off is by compell
llte producers to use their money in
paving taxes, instead of making mote
whisky with it.—Philadelphia
Times.
Leonard Magrudcr, appointed as
Melter and Refiner of the New Or
leans mint, is probably the youngest
man who lias ever held that position
in any mint, being only twenty-five
years of age. He entered the mint
in 18S0, and ha* served in various de
partment*. studying the business
closely, and was promoted to lie As.
istant some years ago. He is a na
tive* of Rapides parish, aud is a son
of Dr. Leonard Magrmler of the a e l
know Mississippi family of that name.
DIED TO SAVE ANOTHER.
sad Accident So Men Who Marcied
sister* in North Catalina.
A Charlotte. 51. C-, special say* a
*ad accident occurred in Clear . creek
township, near here, to-dav. Charles
Kerr and Amos Garland contracted
to clean out a well for Robt. McMa
nus. The well was known to be in a
dangerous condition by reason of foul
gas, and the men first proceeded with
a plan to ventilate it before commenc
ing work at * lie bottom. Garland
descended into the well, and was low
ered to the required depth. Opera
tions were watched by those on the
surface. They Seated Bo danger.
Garland had bent in the well but a
few moments vvlieiiTw was seen to re
lease his hold upon lite rope aud drop |
heavily to tho bottom of the well. I'.e
uttered no cry, and it was evident be
Lad been overcome bv gas. The mo
incnt hi* rendition was discovered, Mr
Kerr placed his toot in the rope, and
ordered the men to lower him. On
reaching the bottom of the well, lie
tied the rope firmly around the appar
ently lifeless body of Garland, and
then called to tlie men to hui.-t away,
lie remained in the Well while Gar
land's body was dfiiiv'Yl (fur. ahit then
the rqipu wa, lowered for him. Kerr
was almost unconscious by the time
the r ipe reached him, but they began
to hind him up. They had scarcely
given tho windlass a dozen turn-,
when the-tidden lightening of the
loadodd them Kerr had dropped back
into lite well. A good deal of eon Til -

Kerf *nd Garland were brothers-in

SAM JONES’ SAVINGS.
If bad a creed I’ll soil it to a muse
um.
One sin cuts tin soul adrift front
God.
What's cult tire worth, it’* nothing
but white-wash on a rascal ?
I have a little ta-ti! for theo'ogi
and botany, but I love religion and
flowers.
I'd rather be in ,heaven learning
mv A CV than in hell reading
Greek.
I can't bribe God's grand jury nor
defy the court, thv tries me the ia-t
day.
•‘t have doubt*,”say* one. You jti-t
quit your mcaneas and von will quit
doubting.
God have mercy on the man who
professes to be a Christian and ba
llot got it from head to foot.
If a man hasn't enough religion to
prav in lit* family lie hasn't got
enough to save hi? soul with.
I've seer, men not afraid to die, lint
I never saw a man that was no; afraid
ol the judgment of God.
Every body ought to keep good
company. There is not an ungel in
Iter.veil proof against bad company.
It's not so much when and where a
man joins the church. It's all right
just so he sticks to it.
I bad rather associate with a dog
than a prolane sweater. Isay tilings
that sound strange, but I've weighed
'em.
Religion is a reality with me as
much so as the fact that I have got
four fingers on each hand , “I believe
is the ground on which I stand.”
Perhrps if you do not talk of your
religion it i* because you have no re
ligion to talk about. Folks with il'-
hca tli don't go around bragging on
their religion.
The Rev. John W. Scudder.ot Min
noappolis, seems to lie a second edi
tion of Sam Jone* “None of your
ivhito-faced damselsfor nio”ho recent-
Iv shouted in a sermou. “Give me the
nut-brown girl, who abandons her
sunbounct, who anil (limbs u tree with
any boy, who prefers good bread to
chocolate carouiels, aud baked bean*
to angel cake. The kind of an an jel
Tor me weighs one hundred aud forty
pound* aud ha* more call for crash
towel* than cosmetics. Her waist is
more than nine inches in circumfer
ence. She i* straight as an arrow,
sleep- eight hour* a day, ha* a clear
head a bright smile and is a joy to
those around her.”
Don't fill the system with quiniue
in the effort to prevent or cure Fever
and Ague. Ayer’s Ague Cure i* a far
more potent preventive and rem
edy, with tile advantage of
leaving in the body no poison* to
produce dizzines*,deafness, headache,
aud othei disorders. The proprie
tors warrant it.
