Kootpeller Woo from Barre by a Score of 13 to 5. Athletic Sports Watched by Crowd. Rain Interfered. The field day and base ball game at Intercity park on Monday called out a good crowd in spite of the threatening weather and the frequent showers. Because of the rain only part of the sports could be held and but seven innings of the ball game were played.

But the crowd was out for fun and found it in both the sports and the ball game so every one was satisfied. Montpelier won the ball game from Barre by a score of IS to 5 and while neither of the teams was in such practice as to put up a very fast or scien tific game still the game furnished good sport. The team, numbering as it did several of the best players on the recent teams of the high school and Seminary, discounted its opponents and contained material for a rattling good team. Harry Hull pitched for the locals and he had good speed and control and pitched a heady game. Fisher, of the Barre team, was hit quite freely.

In nearly all of the seven innings Montpelier scored several times and in some of the innings the runs were extensively bunched. Montpelier made 13 and Barre made 7. For the hits were made as follows: Huntington 2, Mclver 2, Wakefield 2, Car-bo 2, Drenan, Henson, Hull, Estee, Heggie. Montpelier made four errors and Barre made nine. Barre made five scores.

Montpelier's 18 runs were made by the following: Drenan 3, Henson 2, Huntington 3, Mclver 3, Estee 2, Heggie 2, Carbo, Wakefield, Hull. The lineup of the teams follow Montpelier, Wakefield, Hull, Mclver, lb; Huntington, 2b; Estee, ss; Heggie, 3b; Drenan, If; Carbo, cf; Henson, rf; Barre, Ayers, Reid, 3b; Smith, ss; Xute, lb; Wright, cf; Stewart, 2b; Sheriffs, If; Wishart, rf; Fisher, p. After the ball game came the athletic events and these were under the charge of W. A. Lord and E.

The snoitive asd elusive porker, with its oleagenous decorations, was bagged by Henry Carbo of Montpelier and "to the victor belonged the spoils."

Throwing the base ball, the prize was a Spaulding ball, was won by William Heggie of Montpelier, who threw 332 feet and 4 inches.

The fat man's race was won by Fred Huntington of Montpelier, but he was disqualified because he doe3 not weigh quite 200 pounds, and the first prize, a box of cigars, went to Dennis Dineen of Barre. In the boys' race John Holden of Montpelier, won the first prize, $2 in cash, and William Carbo of Montpelier won the second prize, 50 cents in cash. First in the hop, skip and jump, two dollars in cash, was won by L. Wright of Barre, 38 feet 1 inch; second, W. E.

Book Bags, Pencil Boxes, etc. ON LABOR DAY Crowd of 3,000 People Listen to President of American federation' Kany Unions Represented. Rutland, Sept. 4. The union workmen observed Labor Day in this city yesterday with the biggest celebration of the kind ever held here.

Samuel Gonipers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who was the speaker of the day, was the drawing card and besides many delegations from outside unions scores of others came to this city to hear him. His audience yesterday afternoon numbered fully 3,000. Every union in Rutland county was represented in the parade yesterday afternoon which formed on the business streets and moved to the fair grounds, accompanied by the city officials and two bands. Business of all kinds was suspended for the day. The out of door exercises consisted of the usual field sports.

Mr. Gonipers made a strong speech along labor lines. He was given a reception and banquet by the citizens in the evening. President Goinpers made the following allusion to politics: "Labor has always taken political action more or less. The politics of labor have been for the laborer and for the common people without regard to party.

As time goes on organization extends and the spirit of federation expands, gaining confidence, self-respect and power, and exerting these for the benefit" and advantage primarily of the workers and necessarily for all the people. If they can hope to obtain their rights, labor men must show their teeth to their political as well as their economic opponents. "We will stand by our friends and administer stinging rebuke to men or parties who are either indifferent, negligent or hostile, and, wherever opportunity affords s'cure the election of intelligent, honest, names', trade unionists with clear, unblemis hed paid-up union cards in their possession." JOE SANS WON FISHT III 42ND ROUND Battling Nalson Hit Negro Vigorously Below the Belt. Referee Celled the Fight. Goldfield, Sept.

4. Battling Nelson lost yesterday's fight by fouling Joe Cans in the 42d round of the best and longest fight seen in many years. Both men were tired -when the fight ended but Gans was apparently the stronger. He was way ahead on points and had smashed and cut Nelson all through the fight without being severe ly hurt himself. Shortly after the 42d round began the men were in their usual clinch.

Nelson had his head on Gans shoulder and his arm down. Sev-' eral times he hit Gans below the belt, I apparently feeling for a vital spot. At last he drew back his right arm and hit gans a vicious blow square in the groin. The colored boy sank to his knees and rolled over on his back. Referee Siler without hesitation ordered Nelson to his corner and award ed the fight to Gans on a foul.

Siler's decision received almost unanimous approval. The foul was so obvious that not even men who had bet on Nelson could say that It had not been committed. All through the long contest Nelson had employed rough (notion rpneatedlv butted Gans, and had his head pulled away repeatedly by the referee. There were about 5,000 witnesses to the fight and 200 women present. The first 15 rounds of the fight were fast.

After that the fighting slowed up. Athough Gan3 was far ahead of Nelson on points and most of the time looked like a sure winner, Nelson put uo a wonderful fight. Time and again Gans would jolt him on the jaw sending him back. His knees would bend and his eyes become glazed but he held on and would come back fighting as hard as ever. Gans fought a clean fight.

Twice when he knocked Nelson down he picked him up. Once when one ot Gans punches knocked Nelson through the ropes, Gans picked him np and helped him to his feet. As the colored boy stood with his hands down waiting for Nelson to steady himself, Nelson gave him a vicious blow in the stomach. Nelson was roundly hissed for this by the crowd. Mr.

and Mrs. Edwin Barker of Littleton, N. who have been visiting in town, left for their homts tbis afternoon. 111 MEXICO Seizure of Fishing Boat May Result in Complications FOURTEEN IN PRISON Members of Crew Imprisoned and Boat and Cargo Partially Burned. Galveston, Texas, Sept.

Election day was ushered in this morning by a brisk fall wind that made voting or any other duty that called one out of doors a pleasure. The polls were opened in the armory promptly at 6 o'clock, as required by law, ami most of the members of the board of civil authority and other election officers were in their places in readiness for the opening of the boxes. Even at the early hour of o'clock a number of voters were waiting to cast their ballots before beginning the ordinary duties of the day. The first ballot was cast by Engineer Frank Smith, of the and Wells River railroad, and he was closely followed by Conductor James Markham of the same road whose freight train was held for several minutes to enable him to vote. The total votes hour by hour by wards, was as follows: 6-7 7-S 8-9 Ward 1 22 20 15 Ward 2 14 19 14 Ward a 16 10 14 Ward I 24 11 21 Ward 5 1G 9 17 WardG 17 3 8 119 89 9-10 10-11 11-12 12-1 30 27 42 74 2G 74 22 30 49 Dl 31 32 31 39 22 20 40 44 13 21 15 59 Ward 1 Ward 2 Ward 3 Ward 4 Ward 5 Ward 6 158 101 203 341 The total number of votes that had been cast at one o'clock was 1,153.

From 11 o'clock till the last box was turned the teams of the three parties were busy. The halt, the lame, the blind and the hale all were urged to take a free ride, anything to get to the polls. At one o'clock each of the three candidates for representative "was elected" if you but talked with his supporters and workers. Each group had its own figures on which to base the victory claimed and each was perfectly confident. The main interest had settled down on the contest for representative.

At 2.40 o'clock, 20 minutes before the box turned on representative, votes had been cast and the result was as much in doubt as it was at (i o'clock in tlte morning. The Harvey, Senter and Dewey forces each yould not admit of any thought of defeat. Two years ago the total vote cast for representative was 1,416 or over 100 less than had been cast at 2.40 o'clock The first ballot resulted in no choice with John II. Senter leading. It was as follows: J.

('. Fitts and II. F. Graham Speak. In spite of unavoidable delays the Republican rally in the armory on Saturday evening was a decided success.

The three speakers sounded no uncertain notes in the defence of the Republican party and its candidates and handled the assertions of the Clement forces with ungloved hands. A late train that was bringing the Montpelier Military band from Burlington to the rally caused a delay of over half an hour in opening the ex ercises, but the crowd waited patiently and was constantly increasing and all felt repaid for the delay. In calling the rally to order and introducing the presiding officer, Hon. Fred A. How land spoke of the present campaign as a young man's campaign.

Ke then introduced John N. Harvey, Republican candidate for representative in Montpelier, as the chairman of the evening and highly praised the record and ability of Mr. Harvey whom he announced as the probable choice of the citizens of Montpelier on Tues day. The chairman then introduced Hon. Horace F.

Graham, state auditor, as the first speaker. Mr. Graham confined his remarks to a refutation of the charges of extravagance, graft, and faulty accounting that have been made against the state officers and against his own department. The speaker showed item by item the causes of this increase in expeuses in some of the largest Items of state expenses. He showed that this increase is caused by legitimate and unavoidable increases in the scope the departments and in the compensations.

Regarding his own department, that of auditing, he showed that the work is always kept in such shape that anyone can secure complete information I regarding any item of state expense. The next speaker was Hon. Clarke C. Fitts of firattleboro, the attorney general of Vermont. He prefaced his speech by saying that he believes that political rallies should be of the nature of experience meetings or discussions, hence he invited anyone in the audience to question him at any time either on any statements that he might make or on anything else connected with the campaign.

Attorney General Fitts then proceeded with a severe arraignment of Percival W. Clement, on his past re- cord and on his attitude on matters in this campaign. The speaker further arraigned John H. Senter of Montpelier, one of the candidates oa the fusion ticket, for his action as regards the so-called "diseased beef." Regarding this matter the speaker said that as both citizen and lawyer it was the duty of Mr. Senter to have reported to the officers of the law any Violation of the law that came to his knowledge.

It is known to Mr. Senter that Vermont handles the problem of infected cattle according to the rules laid down by the United States government. In closing this part of his speech the attorney general said that as soon as the charges that diseased meat had been sold were brought to his attention he took immediate action and if the charges are true the guilty parties will be punished. Regarding Mr. Clement the speaker said that the fusion candidate cries graft, corruption and extravagance, but when he Is asked to specify and particularize his reply is simply "Let's smash the machine." The attorney general then proceeded to give in detail the facts regarding the secret railroads, gave and received no coal.

The of the Rutland end of the Bristol railroads gave and received on coal. The speaker showed that this secret rate or rebate, that held in force until its existence was disclosed a few weeks ago in this campaign, gave to Clement a prohibitive monopoly of the coal business in Bristol and some other parts of the state. The speaker said that the rebate was and is illegal and that Mr. Clement has known that it is Illegal yet hehas given and received it. Hon.

Charles A. Prouty of Newport, of the United States Interstate Commerce commission, was the last speaker of the evening and he devoted his remarks to a refutation of the charges that Vermont has a political boss in Redfield Proctor and that the voters of the state are machine ridden.
