TIE RESULT OF OBSERVING A GAME OF
BALL TO CLOSELY.

BALL TO CLOSELY.
Last evening, as the Quicksteps were
practicing on the lot ut Fourth and
Lombard streets, an accident occurred
by which boy named William Wei
don got his jaw dislocated. The boy,
in spite of repeated warnings, was
standing close to the batters, and
when one of them, Lew Tallew, struck
at n ball, Ethe bat slipped from his
hands and struck Weldon on the right
jaw, knocking him senseless. For
awhile it was feared he was killed, but
when he was carried home and DR..
Jones called in, it was ascertained
that his injuries consisted of disloca-
ted Jaw and severe cut on his right
check. This morning !he was feeling
much better, but it will be several days
before he can leave the house.
|. Weldon lives at No. 325 Il. Fourth
street, and for some time past has been
employed in the GAZETTE office, as a
carrier and Office boy.

Grant aud the 1nire, Term,

A Washington correspondent says:--
The Psn1sylvania Republican State
Convention, which meets at Lancaster
on the 26th, is likely to experience some
little excitement ON the third term
question. 1t is understood in political
circles here that an effort will be made
to reaflirm in the most emphatic man.
ner the resolutions OF the last Republi-
can State Convention ON this subject
The action of the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans at that time gave great Of
Tense at the White House, but it was
explained there by some of the Federal
otice-holders in that State that the
matter was unexpectedly sprung upon
the Convention, and did not mean any
thing. An attempt will unquestionably
DO made by certain leading politicians
in the administration interest to pre-
vent any surprise of the kind this time,
but it is doubtful if it can aucceed.

WELLINGTON. DEL, MAY go, 1915
Inceutlia,.fes Punished.

The evidence which was elected al
the trials of Titus, Moore, England and
Riley is really startling. We could moi
have believed that such horrid wicked,
ness could have been found in our CON-
munity. In the face of the terrible con.
Aagrations which have prevailed in 9th.
CT sections of the country and the dis
tressing results therefrom, it was scarce
ly possible that one could entertain the
opinion that men whose parents were re-
ligious persous IN this community for
many years could become so desperately
wicked as to set fire to property and
witness its destruction as it was proved
t.ese criminals had done. The proof is
not susceptible of any contradiction.
The crime is clearly established and fix
ed upon them by their own admission
and the evidence OF those who were
their owA friends.
These culprits, except Riley. arc not
boys; they are full grown men, and the
punishment ought to be severe. Ul.-
fortunately only two ont OF these four
Will receive the punishment their Of
fence justly warrant. Moore escapt 8
this by tuning Statc'l evidence, and
England escapes through the technicali.
ties Of the law and the plausible argr.
ments Of counsel. Titus and Riley will
be justly punished. The former has
been terror to this community as boy
and man for years. He eccasioned
his parents sore trials by the difficulties
his vicious conduct brought upon his
head while yet boy. He knew we
the penalty Of his offence and had no
lack OF warning. He is therefore bereit
OF al sympathy from those who will re.
tect upon the terrors Of incendiarisp.
from the direful consequences Of whie h
fortunately we escaped; but not throurh
any agency of Titus. Had the fire al
Sucks stable risen to magnitude and
spread to the dwellings across the street
with tine sudden rising Of tho wind.
whole rows might have been SWEPT down
before the flames, and many families
neon left homeless; the labor and say,
lnSs OF years would have been lost and
perhaps, destitution following, poor chill.
uren would have been sent out into the
world dependent upon charity without
education. And what would Titus have
eeredP Or Moore. or England either?
The last named have escaped the pun.
ishment Of the law. But they have NOT
escaped all the terrors that follow crime.
of the boy Riley we know nothing. He
1s doubtless penitent now; but his Of.
fence, like that of the three just named.
was incendiarism, only short Of murder,
and might have resulted in effects far
more terrible.
1t is hoped that our people will now
rest in comparative security, since these
Viiiainous scamps have been made an
example of. If there are others still IN
our midst they will have TO be careful,
as the people are fully aroused, and pun.
ashnent after discovery will be swift and
cure.
