REPORTS EXAGGERATED I The Statements Tlint tho Fall was Due to a Shock Canned by n Shot In the Mines In I'ufouudtd The llulldlng Is Perfectly Snte. A f nil ot a part ot a ceiling in ono of the rooms in the White street school building almost created a panic among the teachers and scholars shortly after eleven o'clock this morning, and caused n report to be spread through the town that the building was tumbling down. As this was the structure which caused so much discussion over Its stability a few years ago. It did not take much thought to convince some people that the report was correct, nuuougn ix, was simply an other case of exaggeration. The plaster fell In room No. 3. In which Miss Battle 1. Iless teaches. Tho teacher had just left her seat when a quantity of plaster fell upon her desk and chair, leav ing an exposed part of the laths in the ceiling about lour and a half feet long nnd three feet wide. The falling plaster shook tho building auu wane a noise wuicu was neara uy the teachers in some of the other rooms. In the excitement that followed one or two of the other teachers said that just ueiore me iaii mey nearu a noise similar to mat causeu uy a snot in the mines, and it was suggested that the plas ter had been knocked down by the shock from a shot fired in the mine workings under the building. This, of course, added to the excitement and the six schools were speedily dismissed, the scholars leaving the building in perfect order. Many of tho children ran home to tell their parents of the occurrence and of course their version of the affair became more magnllled according to the distance tuey uau to travel. Among those who hurried to the build ing were School Directors Conrv. Mill doon and Haima and Superintendent Whitakerand after an examination of the building they concluded that there was-no cause for alarm; that the fall of plaster was due to a defect in the making of the celling and the piece that fell haa probably been hanging by a slender thread from the time tho building sank a little a iew years ago. The directors examined all the rooms and the brick nnd foundation walls and did not find the slightest indication of u shake. Tliev scouted the version Hint, n shot In the mines had caused the fall or tuat the building had been shaken by uuyiuiiig oiuer man me tailing piaster. The dismissal of the schools was severely criticized. All the schools in the building were re opened after tho dinner hour and the teachers have assurances that the build ing is not only safe, but that they need have no apprehensions of shocks from oinsis in tue mines.

ASHLAND THE VICTIM I I'ltclier Shultit Meets With a Serious Accident The Shenamlonhltes Ite.ott to Terrllln rounding In the First and Ninth Innlng-Tlio Visitors Were l'lucky. The attendance to witness tho Shenan doah-Ashland game at tho Trotting park yesterday was not near as largo as nt either of tho preceding games and it is well It was not, for their would have been danger of turning the tide of tho home club's popularity. Tho gamo was a very listless one and neither side plnyed with tho vim nnd activity which mnkes tho sport popular In this region. It Is said that nil ball players have their o(T days and It must bo true. About sevonteen of the nineteen players who went upon tho din inoilil yesterday were considerable "r(T" and tho game was practically a test to see which side cnnld hit. tin. Lull tin. hardest and scoro the greatest number 01 runs. In tho first Inning tho home team had n Elcnic. Twelve men went to the pinto eforo tho side was retired and a three bagger, three two base hits, a single and tnreu errors culminated in elgut runs. This should hnve been ennuirh to dis courage the most sanguine of the visitors, but when their time to go to the plnte nrriveu every ono oi tnem walked up smilingly and before the side was retired they scored three runs. In the second lnnini nn nnHtlpnf tnrnp.1 the tide In Ashlnnd's favor ami tho home team Had all It could do to keep the visitors from taking n decided lead. A ball driven with terrific force by Bancroft sirucK i-iicner onuitz above tbe right eye. Many exnected to see the nlnverfnll mortally Injured, but to the great surprise ui mi ue remained upon nis leet anu placed both hnnds over the injured part. Ho then turned and walked towards third base, and when reeling was caught by some of the players. He was bathed with water and after havlnir the lnlurv bandaged was driven home. It was sup- puseu irom uie appearance ot tne wound that the skull had been fractured, but subsequent Investigation showed thut the injury was not that bad. Toman succeeded Shultz nnd the visitors batted him freely, taking the lend In the uiiu inning oy maKiug tno score V4 to 11 in their favor. In the sixth Inning fortune again favored the home team. Musser nnd Mulderig got their bases on balls and Toole surprised the crowd by bringing them in with a home run. Neither side scored in the seventh or eighth Innings, but in the ninth inning tho home team resorted to terrific slug ging and placed victory beyond the reach of tho visitors. Such pounding was never before seen on the grounds and It looked ns if the Shennndoahites had been plnylng with Pitcher Jones for the preceding in nings nnd wanted to show 1 v easy they could drop on his delivery. Toman opened the ball with n single, Reilly followed with a homo run, Setley added a two bagger, Gibson made n single, Musser followed with a two bagger nnd Mulderig with a hit. Toole didn't get n chance to hit the ball because the hall hit him and he took his base. Henry then added an other two-bagger and after two men had been retired another hit was added, mak ing seven solid hits before tho side was retired and eight more runs were ndtled to tho Shenandoah score. But the Ashlanders again went to the plate smiling. Nothing could drive hope from them, but they were powerless. Walters went out on n fly to Gibson nnd Griffith flew out to Musser. Bancroft ent up n high fly to short and Setley, feeling that he hud n sure thing, tried to make one of his quaint back-catches, but failed and Bancroft got the base on the error. Before the next batter got n chance nt the bat, however, Bancroft was thrown out by Ifeillv when trvlncr tn steal second nnd tho game ended with the following score: SHENANDOAH. it. In. ro. A .
