IN SUNDAY’S GAME Local Team Defeats Fort Wayne Magnolias SCORE WAS FIVE TO FOUR “Brownie" Robison on the Mound for the Decatur Fashions and Was in Good Form. A team of ball players, composed mostly of members of the old Rosenthal team on yesterday played against the Magnolias a semi-professional team from Fort Wayne and for their first appearance did most remarkable work, and won their first game by a sensational ninth inning batting rally the score at the finish being five to four. Brownie Robison, who pitched for the locals showed remarkable form and for seven innings he merely toyed with the visitors; however, in the eighth they took kindly to his delivery and with three hits coupled with several errors, made three runs, and tied the score and just to make things good, came back in the ninth and made another on two hits and one error. The locals not to be outdone, came to bat for the last time. Peterson being the first man up and he swung on the first pitched ball, hitting cleanly to left field for two sacks; he was sacrificed to third and scored on Withams’ hard punch at the shortstop,

who threw wildly to home in an attempt to get the put out. Pennington then.hit one to the right field fence for sacks, scoring Rasty with the winning run and it was all over.

TRACTION WRECK Umpire Jack Burke was Badly Hurt ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT EATON Several Other Persons Were Injured— Burke Will Recover but May Be Crippled. Muncie, Ind., Sept. 23. —Several persons were seriously hurt, but none fatally, in a collision of the Riverside park car and a regular car on the Muncie, Hartford and Fort Wayne division of the Indiana Union Traction company’s lines at Eaton, at 8:45 o'clock last night Among the injured were Jack Burke, the well known base ball umpire and Pat Duffy, a saloon keeper, both of this city. Burke's injuries are of a serious nature, but Duffy escaped with slight bruises.

The park car was making the trip to town and was crowded with passengers. On going down the grade approaching the company’s main track at Eaton, the car slid into the regular car. Several of the passengers were thrown a distance of several feet, among whom were Burke and Duffy. The forward vestibule of the car was damaged. At first Burke was thought to have suffered a broken back and in a semi-conscious condition he was brought to this city on a car and taken to his apartments in south Walnut street. The injured man was thought to be improving late last night. No fractured bones were found, but Burke's back was badly wrenched. An unknown woman was said to have been seriously injured and she was removed to Hartford City. Several of the passengers sustained sprained ankles and wrists. The motorman of the car says he had shut off the current and had applied the brakes but that the car slid Into the collision.

' I have often been asked for the etymology of "caracul.” which is a term now largely used by furriers to denote a variety of the fur called astrakhan. The new English dictionary does not contain caracul, but it has caracal, which is Hable to be confused with it, though really quite a different word. The caracal is an animal, but caraeul. like the nearly synonymous term, astrakhan, is the name of a place—Kara Kul—l. e.. the Black lake, near Bokhara. which has long been celebrated for Its output of furs. The earliest reference I can find to it In English Is In Matthew Arnold’s “Sohrab and , Rustum:” And on his head he set his sheepskin cap. Black, glassy, curled, the fleece at Kara Kuh —London Notes and Queries. Living In the Electric Light. Writing to a friend in the country, a New York merchant says: “I live in the electric light I leave my home at 7 o’clock, after dressing and taking my breakfast by electric light Then Igo to the subway, one block distant, and ride to within a block of my office. There I work all day by electric light and go home again by the subway and spend the evening in the glare of the incandescent lamp. The weather conditions make no difference, because my flat and my office belong to the ‘ semidark kind. Sometimes I wonder * what I would do without electric light, » and sometimes I ask myself when I j yearn for a little sunlight Is the new light really a blessing?’—New York Tribune.

John Stuart Mill. The genius of this great Englishman was such that before he was twenty he was recognized as the champion and future lender of a powerful school of philosophy and politics. John Stuart Mill is said to have studied Greek at the age of three and at fourteen had begun logic and political economy. The writings and doctrines of this master mind were and are still read and preached not only in this country, but throughout the world. John Stuart Mill stands out prominently among nineteenth century thinkers. —London Mail. Hardened. “Listen to this. Maria.” said Mr. Stubb as he unfolded his scientific paper. “This article states that in some of the old Roman prisons that have been unearthed they found the petrified remains of the prisoners.” “Gracious, John!” replied Mrs. Stubb, with a smile. “I suppose you would call them hardened criminals.” — Chicago News. But He Was Cured. “I think I’ll have to take treatment for the forgetting habit From whom did you take your treatment that was so satisfactory and successful in improving your memory?” “From—ah. from—ah—oh, I forget his name, but wait a minute, and I’ll get one of his cards out of my desk.’’— Exchange. n rou«. “There is a word of one syllable In the English language that is always spelled wrong, even by the most educated people.” “What is that?” “The word ‘wrong.’ ” Obvlowaly*. “Let me see,” mused the sporting editor. “What is an Incubator?” “An incubator,” replied the agricultural editor, “is an egg plant” Discouragement la but disenchanted egotism.—Mazzini.
