Eiciiing Enough While It Lasted But Not Really a Great Disaster. Phillips, Me., Aug.. 30.—Although de railed while moving at the rate of about 20 miles an hour and completely over turning, no injuries were caused by the accident to the passenger train of four cars on the narrow guage road of the Sandy River Railroad. There were but 15 passengers and half of them jump ed from the cars before they were cap sized. The damage to the train was slight. The track and roadbed ovem vhich the cars run for a distance ofAt rods after leaving the irons, were ttflft up so badly that it was necessary. *tU* build a temporary track, which was done in time for the night train tgjpass uearly on time. The train, which was due here at 1 o’clock from Farmington, consisted of a locomotive, two passenger coaches and'two baggage cars of the narrow guage pattern. For some reason which mystified the railroad officials and men tmd had not been solved tonight, the train left the rails on a long curve just beyonl the trestle this side of Strong and six miles from here. After run ning along the tracks, which greatly reduced the speed, every car toppled over into the ditch. The passengers who did not take the opportunity to jump, easily extracted themselves from the wreck and were taken to this town by special train. The shock to the train was slight, the coupling connecting the ears not being broken. The engine was partly buried in the earth. Fire did not break out. the coals beneath the boiler of the lo comotive being easily extinguished. AFTER A $1000 HARP. Rev. Frank Sandford Said to Be After a Fine One for the Holy Land. Auburn, Me., Aug. 30.—For several days the whereabouts of the Rev. F. W. Sandford, the "Elijah” of Shiloh, have been shrouded in mystery. It was known that he did not sail on either of the two vessels which have started with a colony for the Holy Land. It is notv learned that Mr. Sandford is in Liverpool, having gone there by steam er. His business in that city is to pur chase a harp, to cost $1000, which he is to take to Jerusalem. He could not tlnd stiili a harp as he wanted in this country, and so he went to England for it. One of Sandford's followers says the money for this harp was raised by subscription. About the time the yacht Coronet met with the accident at South Freeport Sandford received a check for $1000. It is believed this check came from Sandford’s father-in-law, who is esti mated to be worth from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. It is stated that the father in-law is as much interested in Sand ford's work as he is himself. Reunion of the 20th Maine. Freeport, Me., Aug. 30.—The surviv ors of the 20th Maine Regiment held their reunion at Casco Castle Wednes day,. it being attended by nearly 70 members of the regiment. After a shore dinner a business meeting was held, at which Capt. A. K. Fernald of Winterport was elected president and Samuel L. Miller of Waldoboro secre tary and treasurer. Hermony's consular service consists of professional consuls and 021 merchant consuls. 7-20-4 lOe. CIGAR la the acknowledged leader in New 1 land.

Wm. T. Cobb. Admiral Evans and Men of the North Atlantic Squadron Take Part in the Exercises. Camden, Me., Aug. 30.—The North Atlantic squadron, the Maine Com mander}' of the Military Order of the Lo^-al Legion of the United States and the residents of Camden today united in honoring the bravery and memory of William Conway, a native of this town, who, while on duty at the Pensa cola navy yard, Jan. 12, 1861, was or dered to haul down the American flag in token of surrender and although threatened to be cut down for his dis obedience persistently and indignantly refused to obey, as he knew his su perior officers were guilty of disloyalty. In honor of this sailor a memorial in •the form of a boulder, weighing about 30 tons, has been erected in front of the Congregational church and the ceremony of unveiling it was arranged for today. Attached to the boulder is a bronze tablet, bearing tile following inscription: “William Conway, Quartermaster U. S. Navy. A native of Camden, ori duty at Pensacola navy yard, Jan. 12. 1S61, was ordered to haul down the Ameri can flag, in token of surrender. He in dignantly refused. Honoring his sturdy loyalty, the town of Camden erects this boulder to his memory. And the Maine Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States adds this tablet. 1906.” Arrangements were made for a par ade at noon of SO officers and 500 blue jackets from the battleship division of the North Atlantic squadron, which was anchored in the harbor together with five torpedo boat destroyers, mem bers of the Loyal Legion and George S. Cobb Post of Camden and Edwin Libby Post of Rockland, Grand Army of the Republic. Music was by U. S. S. Maine and the Togus National Home bands. Then follow addresses by Governor William T. Cobb and General Joshua L. Chamberlain before an audience of fully 3000 pupils, the unveiling of the tablet with an address by Major John T. Richards, commander of the Maine Commandery of the Loyal Legion, and linally a salute of 21 guns tired by the warships. General Chamberlain’s address told the story of the Conway incident. Gov ernor Cobb said in part: "The survivors of a great war arc the keepers of its best and tenderest memories, and we. who through their sacrifice and the sacrifices of their fal len comrades enjoy the blessings of a united, free and prosperous country, tan well support and applaud their ef forts to preserve the name and deed of this Maine sailor who. in hts coun try's service, and In time of peril, saw only his duty, and obeyed its call. "This tablet here but repeats the simple lesson, ever old, yet ever new. that patriotism, sense of duty, and faithfulness to trust are qualities that have not yet made their last appeal to American manhood and womanhood, and that these qualities may endure In the hearts of all our people, to increase Let Every Voter in Kennebec County Read the statement of our County Commis sioners which appears on the editorial page of this issue and completely answers the lying circular relative to Kennebec finances with which the Dem ocratic managers have flooded the county. NOW READ THE TRUTH! a reverance for order and the law, must be the wish of every true lover of his country and of every believer in her institutions and her destiny. The following letter from President Roosevelt to be read at the unveiling exercises was received by Major Henry S. Burrage of Togus: '"Sir- I wish it were in my power to be present at the time when the erec tion of the Conway memorial is to be celebrated. As this is not possible will you let me express through you my sincere appreciation of the action taken in erecting this memorial? Conway stands typical of the best among those admirable enlisted men of the army and navy to whom this country can never pay too great homage. The fidelity and patriotism of the sailor, shown under the most trying and difficult circum stances when Ids commanding officers proved faithless, should be graven on the hearts not only of our people as a whole, but especially upon those of our people who filled the regiments our our army and manned the ships of our navy. I again congratulate you upon thus commemorating his sturdy loyal ty.” Sincerely yours, (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Among those who rode in the parade were Rear Admirals Robley D. Evans and Charles H. Davis and their staffs and officers from the warships, and Gov. Cobh and his staff. General Chamberlain's address told the store of the Conway incident and was a3 follows: WILLIAM CONWAY. We corne here to commemorate—not a deed done in the body, but an act of soul; the refusal of a manly spirit to bend the body to the dishonoring of his country’s tlag.An act. most truly it was, and one of highest character in motive and significance. Yet it was well -nigh lost from cur rent thought. On-moving life absorbs its heroic age. The power of a great deed passes into the strength of a peo ple; but too often the deed Itself sinks from thought, except in some great moment of exalted mood. Today, after many years, we come to testify that time has no power to dim the recognition of an act of lofty loy alty and heroic courage in the nation's name; and to set up a memorial that passing life may take cheer, seeing that it is capable of in "times that try men’s sottls.” The generation around us, enjoying the deep peace and wide prosperity of our country, and proud of her power, can know little of that passage of mo mentous peril when mad passion and tumultuous strife rent the nation's heart. Nor do present conditions per mit the circumstances attending this act to be set forth in terms realistic enough to enable all to appreciate fully the sharpness of the test, the loftiness of the resolution which rose to meet it. The story in words is simple. The scene is the United States navy yard at Pensacola. The day is the 12th of Jan uary, 1861—two days after some citi zens of Florida had declared that state out of the union. The occasion is the appearance on that day, of two gen tlemen—one of them formerly an officer of the United States navy—claiming to be commissioners of the state of Flor ida, and supported by a large force of armed men. demanding the surrender of that station with all its munitions and belongings. It was a surprising demand. The United States was not at war with the state of Florida: and this ground was never part of the state of Florida, but was a naval station of the United States 20 years before Florida was made a state of the Union—that terrl tory having passed by the treaty of 1819 directly from the sovereignty of I Spain to that of the United States. I But the demand seems to have stu pified the commodore commanding this station. The disloyal sentiment and excitement in that part of the country was well known to him. Exhibitions of it were rife within his own precincts, j Warnings, moreover, and positive or ders to be vigilant for the protection of this past had been sent to him from Washington. He paid little attention to either facts or orders and the hostile force was allowed to enter the grounds without resistance, although he had a company of staunch marines and some (Continued on Page Ten.). ANOTHERJTRIKE. Paper Bag Girls Again Out at Romtord Falls. Found Promised Increase Much Less Than They Understood. Only $1 Instead of $1.50 and They at Once Leave Their Work. Rumford Falls, Me, Aug. 30.—The 250 girl operatives of the Continental Paper Bag Co. of New York, who un derstood last night that they had been granted an increase of 23 cents a day for which they struck last week, again quit work today and the mill was shut down. It seems that the girls misun derstood the situation and discovered that instead of an advance of $1.50 a week to $7.50 they are to have an ad vance of only one dollar. Because of this they left the mill shortly after commencing work. The increase of a dollar a week of fered by the company is for “competent employes” others who are "on proba tion” are to get an advance but the amount has not been stated. The let ter of the company to the employes besides announcing the new wage schedule said the company desired to give fair and reasonable wages. The demand of the girls the letter said, did not include operatives in the printing room and some other departments of the factory and the letter pointed out that these employes should not be left out of consideration. The striking girls will have a meet ing tomorrow. With the second mate suffering from what appears to be yellow fever, the British steamship Elswick Lodge, from Tampico, Mexico, via Norfolk, was plac ed in quarantine upon its arrival Thurs day at Delaware Breakwater, Del., 90 miles below Philadelphia.

He Tells an Immense Crowd So In Madison Square Garden, N. Y. Also Tells Them Where He Stands on Various Matters, Business and Political. Between the Lines Yon Gan Easily See He Is Again Willing to Be a Candidate. New York, Aug. 30.—The home-com ing of William J. Bryan was made complete tonight when lie was greeted in Madison Square Garden by a throng numbering more than 30,000. It was such a welcome as seldom has been ac corded a private citizen. Mr. Bryan’s eyes filled with tears as he acknowledg ed the cheers. For eight minutes he strode nervously front side to side of the narrow platform. Only once during the entire evening was there anything approaching such a demonstration. That was when the speaker told his hearers that he had become convicted to the cause of government ownership of railroads. “I favor the control of only the trunk lies by the national government.” said Mr. Bryan, “and the ownership of al! other railroads by the state govern ments.” In an instant thousands of voices were raised and faces were turned to ward tile side of the building opposite the speakers stand where William Ran dolph Hearst sat. “Three cheers for Hearst,” was the cry which swelled un til the speaker’s voice was drowned. Tonight's reception, which was given under the auspices of the Commercial Travelers’ Anti-Trust League, proved to he the sounding of tire Democratic campaign call. Mr. Bryan’s speech was a clear-cut outline of his ideas as to what the Democratic policy should be. i The election of United States senators by the people, regulation of the trusts j by the government, universal 8-hour law, settlement of all international dis- i putes by arbitration rather than by j resort to force, and revision of the tar iff, were some of his points. Mr. Bryan declared, however, that he was merely expressing his opinion, and that the trusts were the great issue of the day. He favored the closest supervision of the organization of corporations and said that no man should be a director of two or more corporations which dealt with each other or to engage in the same line of business. He called for the enforcement of the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law and the placing of trust controlled articles on the free list. He also went into the question of th government ownership of the railroads at great length and related that what he had seen in other countries had served to strengthen his conviction on the subject. He saw danger in central ization. however, and for this reason advocated the federal ownership of the i trunk lines and state ownership of the local lines. The speaker scored the recent Con gress for not passing the legislation urged by President Roosevelt giving publicity to campaign contributions. He gave the President some praise, however, for what lie termed his adop tion of Democratic ideas. Mr. Bryan said he hoped the income tax might some day be imposed through an amendment to the constitution. He re ferred briefly to the recent Insurance investigation and said smilingly that he believed the disclosures made would re sult in difficulty in securing large cam paign contributions in the future. On the financial question Mr. Bryan said the unexpected and the unprece dented discovery of gold lytd brought a victory to both the advocate of gold and the advocates of bimetallism "the Republicans have gained so much pleasure and some partisan advan tages," he said, “from the dissension In our rank* on the money question, that they ought not to begrudge us the pleasure we find in the fact that con ditions have removed the cause of dis cord and dissentlon. Mr. Bryan spoke for an hour and twenty minutes and was constantly in terrupted by cheers and applause. The only discordant note sounded during the evening was when Mr. Bry an turned to a discussion of socialism and said that the man who says the trust Is an economic growth and has come to stay, is the one who is helping Socialism. Some one yelled: ’’Three cheers for Socialism,” but the call was drowned in hisses. Mr. Bryan quickly said: “My friends I have no objection to any man ex pressing himself in favor of Socialism, because the Socialist as a rule is an honest man; but he is seeking what he believes to be a benefit to him with argument and not with a business. I deny that the trust is an institution made necessary for economic purposes; I deny that it is an economic institu tion at all. It Is not economic, It is political. It rests on no natural laws, but on man-made laws.” The doors of Madison Square Garden were opened at 5.30 o’clock anil the im mense auditorium bewail to till tip so quickly that the ushers and policemen had difficulty in carrying out the seat ing arrangements. It was a gay spirit ed, big natured audience, which had a cheer for every one of note. The “Ne braska Bryan Home Folks" arrived in a body and were given seats just back of the speaker's stand. The hall was devoid of decorations other than the bunting and flags placed about the temporary stage. Hut every person in the audience had been pre sented with a Hag by the reception committee and the waving of these made a picture such as the garden has seldom witnessed. Twelve thousand people, many of the women, were seat ed by 7 o'clock and an hour later not a seat was to be had. The heat in the garden was so great that a large por tion of the glass roof was pushed back, leaving only the stars as a canopy. At 8 o'clock Harry W. Walker, on behalf of the Commercial Travelers Anti-Trust League, called the assem bly to order. Governor Folk was given an ovation and it was several minutes before he could speak. Governor Folk concluded by introduc ing Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleve land as chairman. The applause was deafening. At this moment William Randolph Hearst entered the box which had been set aside for him. Forf two minutes tlie crowd cheered without in terruption. Many rose and waved their hats and handkerchiefs in the direc tion of Mr. Hearst's box. Then there were more cheers for Mr. Johnson. When this demonstration had but partly subsided, Mr. Bryan, accompan ied by his wife, entered the garden and appeared on the platform. The crowd was then fairly beside itself. Men shouted and jumped on seats, cheered and threw their hats into the air; women waved handkerchiefs and cheered and for five minutes, after Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform the crowd howled, cheered and screamed. Eventually Chairman Johnson secured comparative quiet and introduced Au gustus Thomas, whose every reference to Mr. Bryan called for additional cheers. Mr. Thomas was cheered for several minutes after he had concluded and bowed many times in acknowledge ment. Chairman Johnson then arose to pre sent Mr. Bryan. When Mr. Bryan arose at S.40 the au dience was on its feet as one man. The cheering, which began at that instant, did not end until 8.48 and then only af ter Mr. Bryan had waved Ids hands frantically in an effort to stem the wave of applause. At first the man for whom the dem onstration was planned stood bowing and smiling. Then his attitude was one of appeal. This at last prevailed and as the cheering died away, Mr. Bryan be- gan. He said in part; "Like all travelers, who have visited j other lands, I return with delight to [he land of my birth, more proud of Its people and more confidence In its f government and grateful to the kind providence that cast my lot in the United States. My national pride has oeen increased because of the abundant t (Continued on Page Two.) BANGOR FAIR. Another Big Crowd En joys Second Day’s Races. Fitzgerald Wins the 2.30 Trot or Pace With Belladona Second. Frank S. Wins 2.17 Trot or Paco, With Snsie S. Taking Second Money. Bangor, Me., Aug. 30.—(Special).— Despite threatening clouds there was a good attendance at the Eastern Maine fair today, although not as large as that of Wednesday, which will doubtless go on record as the banner day of the fair. As on the day before the crowd began to come early. The Midway received its usual share of pat ronagp, although there were large num bers of visitors also to the cattle and stock departments. The exhibition of sheep from Aroos took county excited a great deal of ad miration. There are several varieties and ail are fine large specimens. Out side of these exhibits the chief interest was around the stables, excepting of course the ladies, who passed a great deal of time in the auditorium and in the exhibition hall under the grand stand. The stands where refreshments are sold did a rushing business from the middle of the forenoon until closing-up time in the evening. Perhaps the liveli est business of the day was done by “Handkerchief Jack from Kalamazak.'* Jack established himself behind the grandstand and did a land office busi ness until nearly time for the races, when he moved into the track enclos ure and in a little while had as big a crowd as ever around him. Many of those in attendance of course wi re ladies. The attendance of the fair sex was especially noticeable at the races, a majority of those in the grand stand being women. The ladies took a great deal of interest in the stock ex hibitions and lingered long in the build ing devoted to the exhibition of poul try. As the rain held off until afternoon the crowd began to come in greater numbers than early in the morning and before noon a great many teams were on tlie grounds, some driving about and others quartered along the west fence behind the grandstand. The Industrial exhibits were freely visited by both sexes. The women round much to inspect and admire in the departments where goods used in housekeeping were shown and the men were equally interested by the exhbition of farming tools and machin ery. There is an unusually good show ing in both these departments and many new things are exhibited. The Ferris wheel proved, as on (he previous days of the fair, a popular at traction. Not only the boys and girls, but cider people as well patronized it to the limit of its capacity every time it went round. The other attractions were equally well patronized. Tlie big dining halls, as well as all the refresh men stands were well patronized, but not to the extent of Wednesday's pat ronage, the crowd being much smaller. Many of those who came to the fair wore raincoats and were prepared for rain. There were not nearly as many lunching parties seated on the grass about the grounds as on Wednesday. The barkers on the Midway shouted their attractions as loudly as ever, but lining their best they could not make business as good as yesterday's. The exhibits of the work of the school children in the Auditorium and [>f fruit and preserves in the exhibition hall attracted a great deal of attention, especially among the ladies. Many unused themselves by watching the trotters, which were warming up on the track for over an hour before the racing begun. When the time for racing commenced there was a large crowd to see the fast mes go through their paces and they ivere well repaid for attending. The •aces were fully as good as on the pre :eding day. with more entries on the ;ard than on any other day since the air opened. All the horses starting vere good ones and went through the teats in fast time. There was constder ible scoring, but the tedium was re ieved by the entertainments furnished >n the big platform in front of the rrandstand. The fact that Crescent, winner of the :.25 trot Wednesday, was entered in he 2.30 class today lent added interest o the races. (Continued on Page Five.)

BRIGGS JJNSTAND. Denies Responsibility for Maude Taggetl's Death. Birt Admissions Are Drawn Out, by Cross-Examination. j Oa Steel Nearly All Day-Case Will Prob ity Be Fioishel Today. Bangor, Me.. Aug. 30.—Dr. William H. H. Briggs wu on the stand a good part of the day today In his own de fence, beginning with the morning ses sion. The direct testimony of his story of the affair in which he is charged with being responsible for the death of Miss Maude B. Taggett took but an hour, but Assistant Atorney General Phllbrook made the cross-examination searching and drew out admissions from the witness. He was on the stand during the entire forenoon and a part of the afternoon. He stoutly maintained that Miss Taggett was distressed when he first saw her in his office. He admitted that he did not advise her to go to the hos pital or advise procuring a trained nurse at any time, saying he consid ered she had made her own arrange ments and that he did not object to her going to Mrs. Wesley's rooms to stay, although he knew nothing of her abil ity to care for a patient in such a con dition. The case probably will not be fin ished before Friday afternoon. The cross-examination of Dr. Briggs was begun at the opening of the after noon session, and was continued until 3.30. It developed nothing new. Three medical experts were then called by the defence ir. an effort to show that had a criminal operation been performed on Saturday, Feb. 24, as contended by the State, the condition of Miss Taggett on the Sunday evening following would have been different from that described by witnesses. In rebuttal the State introduced two witnesses, who testified to having seen Dr. Briggs enter the rooms of Mrs. Wes ley on the afternoon in question at 3.43 o’clock, when he himself claims to have been in Orono. Testimony was concluded Thursday, and on Friday the case will go to the Jury. THE PEPPERELL REUNION. Members Assured That Sir William’s Remains Will Not Be Disturbed. Klttery Point, Mo., Aug. 30.—The 10th annual reunion of the Pepperell Asso ciation was held Wednesday when there was considerable interest over the question of removing the body of Sir William Pepperell from the tomb here to the memorial tower being erect ed by the Canadian government at Loulsburg. The members were bitterly opposed to any such move, and the matter was dropped with the under standing that there will be no attempt to move the body. At the meeting, tic association was presented with the original will of Sir William Pepperell with the accompanying self-explana tory letter: Boston. Mass.. Aug. 28. 1908. “To the Colonel William Popperell Association: It Is with genuine pleas ure I present to the association In the name of my father, the late Charles Mellon of Boston, the original will of Sir Wiiliam Pepperell, drawn up and signed by Sir William on the llth day of January. 1759.

Philadelphia, Aug. 30—Examination of the list of securities held by the defunct Real Estate Co. today disclosed the fact that Frank K Hippie, president of tlm institution, who committed suicide, was an embezzler. The authority f*»r this statement is George II. Earle. .Tr_. receiv er for the company. Mr. Earle deedin' d to say what securities are missing, but ho declared that Hippie had hypothecat ed $C..OOO worth of paper, securing $re.000 for the securities which he m vrr return ed. Receiver Earle further declared that President Hippie embezzled the S~.eoo.noo lie loaned to Adolf Segal, the promoter. These loans, Mr. Earle asserted, wer personal transactions. “Although made hi the name of the bank, the directors had no knowledge of them and consequently the money was stolen hv Mr. Hippie.” said Mr. Earle. In an inttrview Receiver Earle rcp'.at ed his opposition to a permanent receiv ership for the Trust Co. This proceed ing, he declared, would deprive the con cern of .Is trust funds, which are among its most valuable assets. If all of Fro moter Segal's enterprises are ns valuable as liis sugar refinery. he said, their ap propriation by the depositors would ho more fruitful of results than any other method and he believed through sue!, a plan the depositors would receive dollar for dollar.

THE DAY’S DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS. TROLLEY LEAGUE. **u.— Augusta Just Dead Cinches That Championship. Wins 4 to 3 From Gardiner in a Hair-raising Contest. Elite tUaiistoa Oil It. After Scon Was 3 to 0 Against Us. Augusta Rattled the Trolley League championship at the Driving park yes terday afternoon by defeating Gardi ner by the score of 4 to 3 in the most •wildly exciting game of the season. There have been many exciting games this year, but this was the game when things were settled and this fact, to gether with the closeness of the score made the occasion Just what we have said—the greatest o’ the year. Another reason why it was exciting xvas tiie way tilings went. Gardiner started off in the first inning with three runs, to our great surprise and cha grin. and for six long innings they led SIMEON RERNARD The Captain ami Star Second llasfman i>f the Augusta Trolhv Deague Tram. ns by two big-looking runs and for e'ght longer innings they kept their 'lead. It was not until the eighth in the fun niest play of the season that we tied tlte score and the way it happened was a surprise. It surprised the players themselves, especially Keilley, who was the chief factor in the performance. And what is funnier still, lie did It by trying to play too good baseball. Here's the way it happened: Henderson singled and stole second and third in great style. Then Duff sent a couple of foul flics way out back of third and in Mr. Reilley’s anxiety to retire Mr. Duff he forgot that somewhere in the back purt of the rule hook a man is allowed to score from third and when he hut toned on to that ball. Henderson scored. Reilley’s last contribution came in the ninth when lie again tried to throw out a little infield hit from Twombly's bat. and the latter reached first and later second. These tilings counted. We do not mention them to find fault with Rellley. He is a fine player and we nierely mention It to explain how It all happened—not to “knock" in the least, and t.ardlner people ought not to either, for he is one of the king plna of their team. Again It might he said that Augus ta was reaching for the game from the first. More tiian half the time a hit meant runs and hud It not been for good work by Dwinul at these times Augusta would have had an easy time indeed. On the wliols. Augusta out played the visitors except for the llrst inning, so don't blame Rellley too much. There .were a number of line plays. For Augusta, Twombly made a hand some play when lie threw his man out first In tlie eighth in what looked like n safe one. Then the all-round playing of Augusta at critical times was good, while Gardiner made a goodly number of errors, as the summary shows. As a result of these, Gardiner changed her team about during the game, Reilley replacing Jones at third, Jotim going to right, and Pattee com ing in to second. And by the way, Pattee made a great play at second when he made a double t/i the sixth—catting off what otherwise would have been certain runt. Bernard played a fast game at sec ond and his work and the long timely drive by K. Kennlston In the ninth which settled the game and the championship were among the pleas ing features from an Augusta stand point. It-, the three years of Trolley ball this makes the championships one year to Winthrop, Gardiner and Augusta re spectively. The summary: AUGUSTA. a’o r bh Bernard, 2b .4 0 1 Maccorey. cf .4 o o Cote. If .3 en, and. striking in a tree, broke his fail and saved his life. He was picked up unconscious and hurried to the Bridgeport hospital, where it was found that not a bone had been broken. Owens is suffering from the shock, but it is expected he will be about in less than a fortnight. He was scheduled to do the triple parachute drop from a balloon. He made the ascension at 2 and cut away from tlie first and second parachutes all right, hut the third one did not work satisfactorily and he shot downward wiih lightninglike rapidity. Thosands who saw the mishap were spellbound, as they supposed that they were looking at a tragic ending of the venturesome act. Owens shot into an elm tree near the freight station. The top of the tree was seen to bend slightly and there was a crackling of branches and limbs. He was seen to slip through the tree and down to the ground, where he was found uncon scious. He was carried at once in an auto to the Bridgeport hospital. An examina tion showed that no bones were broken and that beside several scalp wounds lie was only suffering from shock.

B. Johnson of the American League said at tile game Wednesday that there would be no new appointee this season, but that the club would be under the direction of "Chick" Stahl. Mr. Johnson said there was utterly no truth at all to various rumors connected with the names of several parties. “No," said Mr. John son. “Hugh Duffy will not succeed Mr. Collins. It will not be Mr. Armour, and it will riot be Mr. Jennings. It will be Mr. Murray, for Mr. Murray will suc ceed Mr. Duffy in Philadelphia. I think very highly of Mr. Murray, also of Mr. Jennings." The head of tlie league was highly' satisfied with the showing tile Bostons made yesterday' and felt satisfied that its record would be better by considerable in the future than it had been. The whole responsi bility now rests upon Stahl and there was a dash and endeavor to win that lias been utterly foreign to games In I the past. THE WEEK’S SCHEDULES.
