Malone clinched her title tfb the cham- pionship of Northern New York by de- feating Paul Smith's team in the. third game of the series last Thursday before a crowd of over 500,the at tend ance bei ng kept from town. The Hotel team came here\ flushed with exultation over the recent victory over Wbittemore's \Champions and, putting Cook on the slab, were sure of winning the deciding game. Again they went against •* Wig\ Wilder, who is making an everlasting reputation for himself, and again the hits failed to come when needed.\ Cook was effective, but Cap. Whittemore's double came when it drove in two runs and Cook, also gave four passes to first. Features of the game were tbe fine fielding of the leaguers, es- pecially Prowse at third_ and Gray at second. Following is thtfscore: MALOXE. A. B. R. IB. P. O. A.

One rank decision, which prob- ably lost the game for Malone, was that of Gray's safe bit to second base. Tilton threw the ball wild to first base* first base- man stopped it, fumbled and dropped it, allowing Gray to cover first base by five feet, and Wheeler called him \out.\ Had he umpired the whole game the win- ning score would probably have been much larger, but Hodge and Wheeler umpired alternately by innings. The game was an interesting one from start to finish and was witnessed by about'500 people.

One of the handsomest games played by the Malones this season was that play- ed with the Mascots on the Montreal dia- mond Saturday, the score being six to four in favor of the Malones. Wilder pitched with his usual steadi- ness and only allowed three hits, striking out seven, while Hatdy, a league pitcher of the Toronto team and a left-baoder, who filled the box for Montreal, allowed eleven hits and struck out but two. He was mocked out of the box io. the sixth in- ning and his brother pitched the rest of the game. Wilder was well supported by the res£ of the team,the feature- of the bi h fildi d bi f by £ , game being the fieldin Ml batting of in the first g g g g our men. Malone scored one in the first inning, one in the fourtb, tw« in the sixth and two in the seventh. One of the scores in the seventh was made by Pattee, who made a home run, knocking one of the prettiest line drives_-over the center fielders' head ever seen on the ^Montreal Oar Boy* Are Crack Shots. The 27th Separate Compftny^iii&de a remarkable record at rifle practice last week and confidently expects now to win the Third Brigade first prize, valued at $100. The highest prize ever previously won by the company was valued at $50. The boys bad been practicing some for the event, but were surprised at their own marksmanship. AlL th», members who appeared qualified except three, and the company percentage was 67, a gain of 20 points over last year. This is made up from the individual and volley shooting at all ranges. The highest percentage made this year by any company in this brigade up to the time of the 27th prac- tice was 65, and the companies were then nearly all through with the test. This percentage was made by the Saratoga company. Col.

Malone was defeated by a score of 4 to 3 Monday on the Maione diamond fn one of the mast holly contested games ever played here—-15 innings being re- quired to decide the contest. Washburn, \the reliable,\ occupied the box for the home team, and Ambrose, a national league man, for the visitors. Both pitchers did fine work with the ball and were well supported by the rest of thg_ teams. Thirteen hits were secured off Ambrose, while only seven we're se- cur&off Washbarn. Ambrose struck out eight aad gave three passes to first and Washburn struck oat fifteen and al- lowed no bases on balls. Whittemore pot ont fifteen men behind the bat and Balding, on first base, pot out 20, A total of 45 put-outs! waa recorded (or tbe Malones during the\ game. The fielding of both teams was good and fast. Pat- tee, at short, made a sensational one-hand stop on Palmer's hot grounder that brought cheer after cheer from the crowd. Watt's work in the oat field was excel- lent. Three very pretty doable plays were made by the Potsdams daring the ie. Whittemore, Prowse and Daly in the batting, the latter especially 4otsg effective work. In the second in- ning he knocked a ence Ames made the highest score, viz: 4 oat of a possible ning e k a two-bajrger, bringing in two men, and alao drew in the winning spore in the 15th inning. The score was two and two at th« end of the fourth in- nins;, then a pitcher's battle ensued and the score was kept at that mark until the 15th inning, when ttib Potsdams scored two and the Malofies one.

He says that the Ji on the north e Japanese 1 ward of th and Russians were of the Tang Chow canal and the Americans and British were oa tbe south side. The allies opened the attack with artillery on the east side of the city, while the wall was obstinately held by the enemy. At. nightfall the Japanese blew up the two eastern gates of the Tar- tar city and entered; bot in the mean time, the Americans and British had entered the Chinese city by tbe Tang-Plea gates. DetachmenUof each force then met near the legations aad opened communications with the besieged ministers.

While John Burcb, a well-known farm- er residing a conple of miles out of this village, was getting into his wagon, which was loaded with barrels, Saturday, he fell backward in some manner, and struck the back of his head on the curb of the walk in front of McFarland & Barry's store, cutting bis bead severly.

More than 500 people congregated in the park last Friday night to listen to tbe music of tbe new band. By great patience and labor Mr. M.

Steps should be taken at once to meet tbe expenses of the organization under some definite plaa L for Malone needs a band at many con- stantly occurring functions.

Another ot J^oae's piQfieer business men has been gathered 1 to tbe fathers. Hiram H. Tfc&mp«*>a passed away Sunday morning, AUK. 19th, after a couple of weeks of great suffering from an ailment of the heart. His end was peaceful and serene, as his old age has been spent. Of strong and vigorous physiqae, active and enery. getic, It was fortunate for him that h« was preserved with all his powers antil hit last illness, for he waa of that energetic temperament which could face death easier than decline or protracted weak- ness and disease. Until tbe great snow storm last March he did not know that? he was subject to any physical ailment. Over-exercise then brought on, weakness and difficulty in breathing, which he thought was a trouble with tbe lungs. But his trouble was only temporary, and until nine or ten weeks ago bad not again manifested itself. Then tbe difficulty in breathing returned and his decline was rapid to the end. It is only a little while since his form was a familiar one on our streets, either walking or driving a good horse, of which he was particularly fond. He waa then the picture of health and of ragged age. Mr, Thompson has left a record for straightforward and upright living and business dealing of which his sons and survivors have just reason to be proud- Interested to the last in everything affect- ing the welfare of the community, enter- prising, resourceful and of ripened judg- ment, he will be missed as few men are 'missfed, because of bis long connection, with the town's development and pros- perity. His was a sturdy, substantial character, unswerving in devotion to the truth, emphatic in opinion, patriotic in spirit, and his influence was always cast on the side of the good and honorable things in life. His advice was freely sought by the young men of the commu- nity and was always freely and frankly $ven. No man more loved to converse irith a friend affid none cherished more a friend's respect and confidence. Mr. Thompson was born in Malone and bad resided here substantially all hi&daya. He received his education at Franklin Academy and was ever afterward an earn- est supporter of our schools. Early in life he launched ont in the mercantile business, and continued in it steadily, with thevexceotion of a few brief inter- vals, HW father, Jonathan Thompson, wa> one of the early settlers of this sec- ,tion, having come here from tbe New EngUiod States. He carried the first mail on horseback between Plattsbargh and pgdeiisburg and at one timrhad bis horse killed by a falling tree. He later had charge of all the stage and mail routes passing through Malone. The mother of the deceased was a member of the rtfcAmily, pioneer settlers of Chat- eaugayT* jT Mr. Thompson first engaged in the gen- eral mercantile trade in partnership with the late Edwin Meigs, under the firm name of Thompson & Mefgs? Later on he became the owner of tbe tannery oa Mill street and conducted it successfully, notwithstanding that it was three times destroyed by fire during his ownership. He sold the property to the late W. H. Webster. About 1857 or 1868? in com- pany 4 with tbe late Marshal Abbott, under the name of H. H. Thompson & Co., he purchased tbe hardware stock of C. A. Cook & Co., which they had brought from Plattsbargb, and soon established the extensive trade still conducted by his sons in this village. After the war the business was for a time conducted by Meigs, Abbott & Co,, but be bought i^ baqk and carried it on, with E. A. W%»- skerasa partner, until 1870, when he purchased tbe latter's interest, and took his son Deforest into the firm. About 1878, Robert C. TfrbinpsoB became a- partner, their father remaining in the company till about 1882, when he retired and had sinceledaiessactive life. Hewaa, a director of the old First National Bank and of tbe Peoples' National Bank place organization. He had also bees a direc- tor of tbe Malone Water Co , since Us reor- ganization in 2888. A devoted meC ber and constant attendant of the Congre- gational Church, he Served for a comber of years as one of its trustees. In poli- tics Mr. Thompson was a Democrat till 1856, bat quickly \tespoused the cause of the Republican party at its organisation, and had been an ardent Republican ever s. He was chairman of the conven- . which nominated William A. Wheel- er for member of assembly, and, had he enjoyed public life, would have made an able and successful official; hot he pre- ferred the independence of the private citi- zen and never sought office, though contrib- .qtiog liberally of bis money and time to the early political campaigns, Tbe only politf- cal office which he ever held waa deputy collector of internal revenue under the late E. D. Brooks, of Potsdam, which he filled efficiently and commendably. In 1846 the deceased married Sarah E. Meigs, of Malone, and their married Ufe was 9 a bappy one until parted by her death la 1894. Since then, having sold the old home- stead, Mr. Thompson had resided with his son on Morton street. He was the ]a*t of his father's family, though the oldest of the children, aad had outlived nearly ail his early frieoda, though bat 78 years old. He leaves aarrivtag three son**, Deforest, Robert aad Charles, to cherish aad revere hie memory. The funeral occurs frost the residence of H. D.
