After some discussion, Col. Mccullough moved
that all complaining parties be requested to re-
port to the Committee of the ward in which they
reside, and that said Committee be instructed to
proceed against the contractors, i'll all cases of
failure to properly remove garbage This

finally lost.
Mr.. Hawkins then offered the following reso-

Res0tred-That in the opinion OF the Board
of Health, the contractors for tho removal OF
garbage have utterly failed to fulfil their con-
tracts and we would recommend Council to
annul such contracts, and give them to parties
who will attend to them.
Col. Mccullough stigmatized this resolution as
foolish, unreasonable, unnecessary, and imperti-
ment.
The voto on the resolution Of Col Mccullough
was then reconsidered and the resolution 30
altered and amended as to require the publica-
ton of the names and residences of the mem
bers of the Board 30 that citizens will know

QuICKSTEPs w. LAwRENCE-A FINE dAME-THE
QUicKsTEps VICTORIOUS.
Yesterday afternoon, about eight hundred
spectators assembled as Schutzen Park to wit
ness the game of base ball which had been ar
ranged between the Lawrence Club and the
Qnicksteps. Both clubs were in excellent trim,
and the game which followed, was without com
pariaon, the best contested match recently
played i'll this city or State The play of each
club was AZ nearly faultless possible for anna
teur organizations and but five errors were no.
ticed throughout the game.
The Quicksteps lost the toss and were sent to
the bat failing to make single run. The Law
renee then took their turns at the ash, and led
Off with fine prospects of making some scores,
but by a very neat donble play of Hindell at
"Home" and Third" they were retired with a
blank. In the next inning the Quicksteps sue
ceeded in making two runs by wild throw of
Austinsat third, and the Lawrence were again
treated TO a whitewash. Upon the third inning
the Qucksteps, by several clean hits, added an
other run and again blanked their opponents.
After this the Quicksteps continued to add
slowly to their score and by excellent fielding
kept the Lawrence down to four runs at the end
of the 9th inning.
McMenamin of the Lawrence dstnguishe
himself by several fine fly catches in the left
field, and OBren gained great applause for a
very difficult take ut centre. Indeed all played
with unusual effect and deserve much credit.

1t would seem that as the clouds fled away
and let in the bright happy rays of the Sun in
its glory 30 "the rays OF divine light seemed to
fall into the hearts of the people, by the Spirit
as the meetings without exception, were every
where rejoicing with joy unspeakable, and full
OF glory, the Holy Ghost spreading itself over
the entire grounds with power not felt on any
previous day during the camp, and we have no
doubt that the entire day, as a whole, was one
of great profit to the people, This morning,
THE VARIOUS MEETINGS COMMENCED
IN a great measure where they left off at last
night, whether it was to be accounted for in the
shortness of the time elapaing between the re-
firing and the rising hour or not, we are not pre-
pared to say. This morning Rev. Joshua Hum
phriss preached stirring sermon from Romans

of Christ for it is the power Of God unto saliva

manned at tho sland.
These meetings continued until after eleven
o'clock at night, and were closed at last only up
on the promise that they could start early in the
morning and continue all the next day and night

charge" announced that the camp meeting
would close ut five o'clock on Friday morning,

Of both parties will be elected, and the nomina-
ton is equivalent to an election. There were a
number Of candidates named, but the strug-
gle finally settled down between two neighbors,
both youngish men, both from the ''rooral
deestncts,' and both Of the steady, straight-up-
and-lown stripe of Democracy--Judge Warren
J. Woodward of Borks, and Judge Henry p.
Ross Of Montgomery, the former finally get
ting the prize by vote Of 1913 to 1903.
Judge Woo lward is the son of Judge George
W. Woodward, of Luzerne county, who was for a
number of years one Of the Supreme Court
Judges of Pennsylvania, and since has been in
consresa Warren was appointed Judge of the
Birks county courts to fill term, but subse-
qienty was elected by the people, and stands
