Details of the destruction wcre hard te obtain this morning. The news of the virtual wip ing out of the city came through the West ern Union telegraph company's officials here. They report the telegtaph olllee in Spekane as having been swept out of ex istence.

On Satin day afternoon these chil dren woie playing in mi upper room of the Cenrad residence. In a corner tlieie was a leaded shotgun. Little Dembach in play picked up the gun and pointed it at tlie Cenrad gill. Unconsciously his finger touched tlie tiiggurand it went oil'. Tlie contents Mi uck tlie girl In tlie face, nearly all the shot entering her eye. The discharge of the gun was heaid by Mrs. Cenrad, and she suspecting something wrong, hurriedly ran up stairs. Sbe found her child en tlie fleer and the boy almost scaled te death. Dr. Hertz, of Lexington, was summoned and he dressed the girl's wounds. She is still living this morning, but no hopes are entertained of her recovery. Tlie accident has cast a gloom ever that entire neighborhood.

The Actives Prevent Thein Scoring n Run en Saturday. On Saturday afternoon the Actives and August Flower, two clubs of this city, played a game en the Ironsides grounds. The teams represent the eastern and western sections of the city, and there was considerable, rivalry between them. The result was a disastrous defeat for the pcople from the eastern end. The feature of tlie game was the line battery work or Snyder and Resh, of tlie Actives. Hogarth also pitched well, but seemed te fear seme of tlie Active ' hard hitters, as five of thorn were given tlieir bases en balls. Only seven of the August Flowers reached first, and only one get as far as third. Rut seven men went te bat In the first two Innings and only nine went te bat in the last three.

The Harrisburg club leads the Middle States League and Jim Farriugteii is entitled te gicat credit for it. He has a team of players that never cause much trouble.

The Cow boys had but three hits with tlie same number of errors, vel get five runs j whlle Columbus had ten liits and ene orrer.whlch yielded but ene run. Huse ball is very queer at times.
