His | friend gave him the laugh, and the merchant asked what was the matter. "Jf 1 tell you where you can find your pen, will you buy the cigars ?" asked his friend. "Why, certainly," was the merch- ant's reply, 'where is it?" "Right there," sdid the friend, poihing under the man's arm. There was a clasp on the pen, aM instead of putting the pen in hig vest pocket he had fastened it on to his shirt by mistake, and it was hidden from view. He lost no time in taking his friend to the nearest cigar store, where he bought two of the best Havanas ip stock, | | Niagara Of Brazil, A moving picture of these splendid rapids and cataracts is presented at the Bijou, to-day and to-mgrrow, The impression of rushing water is so vivid that a sight of the picture 'equals a visit to the scene.

Shaw, of the firm of Newman: & Shaw, Princess street, was seriously injured this moming in a runaway ac- cident on Brock. street. Samuel Percy, driver for R. McFaul, met My. Shaw on his way to work and offered to drive him to 'the store. Mr. Shaw had just got into the rig when it started to rain and he raised his um- brella, holding it. out in front over the horse's back. The anigal is very excitable and in turning the corner of the Hotel Dieu grounds on to Brock street, the horse sdw the umbrella and started to run away. At the cor- ner of Brock and Mentreal streets Mr. Shaw jumped out of the waggon, but jumped backwards and was thrown headforemost against the pavement. He was picked up by two men and surgery. His injuries were dressed by the doc- tor and he was removed to his home. The unfortunate man received a severe gash on the left side of the face, had his forehead badly bruised, and his leit leg and side serigusly hurt. He was not able to walk across the road to the doctor's, but did not lose con- sciousness. He will be confined to his home for some days. The driver managed to hold on to the horse until it got to Bibby's livery, where it was stopped by men employed there. BASEBALL LEAGUE Consider If Fair Ground Diamond is Suitable, A meeting of the Kingston Baseball League executive was held at the Randolph Hotel on Tuesday evening, Charles McKay was present on behalf] of the Kingston Gentlemah's Driving Association, to see if it could be ar- ranged for tho senior games schedul- ed for Saturday to he played at the fair grounds instead of at the Cricket Field. The matter was full discussed, and it was finally arranged that the diamond should be inspected by the officers of the league to see if it was in good condition for games. The game on Saturday is between the C. L.C.'and the Irishmen, and should the latter win they stand a chance of win- ning out, so they are anxious of get- ting the hest diamond in the city. The ground rule was discussed and amended as follows: That a blocked ball quer first or third base, and a wild throw over home plate are only good for one base, but a throw over | second base, is good for as many bas- es as the runner can secure. The case of players who were re- leased by ono team playing with an- other team in the same series in the same season was also considered by the members. Walsh played one or two games with was later granted a permit to play with the Emeralds, but he also playv- ed a game with the Victorias. His case was considered and it was decid- ed not to allow him to play with any team hut the Emeralds.
