It appears from theevidence educed from the witnesses called that the three prisoners had come to Waâ€" terloo from Bridgeport and entered the harâ€"room of the Alexander House, Seeâ€" ing that they were already in a state of inebriety, Mr. Lewis refused them any liquor and put them out. Chief Flynn was noutified and appeared on the scene immediAtely, nabbing the first man and downing Kim. The other two, however, made an effort to reâ€" lease their _ comparion and comâ€" ing up to the chiet from behind, hit bim a square bang in the eye and one on the ear with the effect oÂ¥ branding bim for a few days to come. The powerful chief would no doubt, have been able to bandle the three of them, but he called in a couple of onlookers to help transport them to the lockâ€"up. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the affair at the court on Tuesday morning, other that they had been drunk and disorderly. They were acâ€" cordingly fined $27 and $7.50 costs. C.

Between three and four hundred interested spectators assembled on the park lawn on Saturday afternoon last to witness the first league game of the season, played between the Alphas of Galt and Waterloo. The majority of the onlookers,it is needless to say, went home disappointed, after seeing the home team lose the game to the champâ€" ions by m score of 20 runs to six, the result of a very ragged game put up by both teams but mor» ecpeciall{ our own. The teams were lined up for the game at precisely at four o‘clock when Mayor Suyder appeared on the grounds to discharge the important duty which devolved upon him, that of throwing the first ball, thus showing his interest in the mauly sport. ° Hindmarsh on left field and Saunders in the pitcher‘s box for Galt, both played excellent ball, Waterloo‘s out fieldiog as usual was bad, while the diamond men played ragged ball, Molson and Bates are a strong battery and would do good work if they were given proper support in the field. Following is the score by innings: Galt 3 Waterloo 0 The Waterloo Baseball Club went down to Hespeler on Monday to play twoleague games but as the grounds were very wet from the previous night‘s rain, two exhivition games were played instead. The morning game was stopped on sccount of rain in the seventh innings when the score stood 7 to 6 in Waterloo‘s favor. The afternoon game was a fine exhibition of ball, and some spectators say it was the best ever seen in Hespeler. The features of the game were Hardy‘s pitching, striking out 12 men; Tom Bates‘ home run a splendid long drive in the bush behind left field, and Hespeler‘s sharp fielding all round. The score was 7 to l1 in Hespeler‘s favor, We have no doubt that the Berlinâ€" Waterloo game on Saturday will be one of the most closely contested games of the season and that it will draw a large number of people out to the Westside park to witness it.

A Wilmot Township Woman Covered With Tar and Ridden on a Rail at Midâ€"nightâ€"Perpetrators Arrested: A most brutal outrage was committed near Mannheim, in Wilmot Townehip, on Wednesday night of last week. A married woman named Mary Koehler was called out of her home in Shingleâ€" town, uéur Baden,her clothes torn off, beaten, tarred, and afterwards ridden tipon a rail. Four disguised men did the brutal deed. One approached Mre.Koehâ€" ler‘s house at 11:30 o‘clock at night, aroused her and ask ber to come over to a neighbor‘s to assist in nursâ€" ing a sick child, while they went for a doctor. ‘When the woman stepped out of her door, she was pounced upon, her garments rougbly torn from her perâ€" son, during which prbcesding she‘ reâ€" ceived a bad woundin the eye and others in various portions of the body.

The husband of Mis, Koehler was ‘sleeping in the house at the time of the outrage and knew nothing of it until his exâ€" bausted wife crawled into the house. Detective Klippert found a box of tar the next morning near the scene of the attack, Since the arrest of the two men on Friday eveniug, Hamacher has confessed, and in.piicated J. Hamâ€" acher and H. Habel. Warrants have been issued for their arrest. Bail is refused and the prisoners are remandâ€" ed until Saturday next.

BRITISH WHEAT ACRSAGE Big Falling Off Reported During the Past Five Years. New York, May 24.â€"The ‘Times‘s‘ London special says :â€"Agricaltural re: turns issued last night for 1896 reveal! some remarkable facts, The wheat acreâ€" age has diminished by 510,000 acres in & single year, The total giminution since 1875 has been just under 2,000,: 000 acres, of which twoâ€"thirds was in the last five years, leaving less than 1,â€" 500,000 acres under wheat, all told. To some extent barley and fruit have takâ€" en the place of wheat, but the great bulk of the land has gone to grass. Notwitbstanding this, dead meat imâ€" ports continue to mount up, over 600,â€" 000 tons,of which threeâ€"fifths was from the United States, coming in last year. The total annuai imports of wheat and flour have now reached the tremendâ€" ous figure of $150,000,000. When, however, it is realized that the British farmers are so unenterprising as .to allow $20,000,000 worth of foreign egge to be brought into the country yearly, simply because they will not bother with poultry, it is difficult to get up any deep sympathy for them, Just what all our Bargains are and we give you agreat opportunâ€" ity to catch our Bargains in the following new seasonable goods just arrived : J.
