The Yssty ssessa.
To-day about noon N Jacob and Han,
nah s. Walton bis wife, were about sit
ting down TO their frugal meal, they
were surprised by the sudden entrance
Of about 30 persons, ladies and gsntle-
men, young and old, chatting and
laughing, and extending TO Mr.. Walton
and his wife tn. salutations Of the day.
Al first Mr.. Walton somewhat alarmed
thought about making some resistance,
and backing the door so that no
enemy could attack from the rear,
but seeing that everybody was
in such a good humor and seeing
amongst the crowd his three sons and
two daughters, 1t hurst upon his mind
that he and his wife, Hannah, had
trudged along life's thornny pathway
until the 42nd milestone had been
reached, and this demonstration was
in honor OF that event. The aged
couple surrendered gracefully into the
hands of their captors, who took full
possession Of the house, and clearing
the little table soon had a larger
one spread and loaded with the luxu-
ri-s that sincere flial love and respect
always prompt upon such an occa
sion; upon the centre OF the table stood
large embellished cake with the name
Of Jacob and Hannah 8. Walton beau
tifdlly traced upon II with sugar icing.
As we 80 TO press ths party are In
the height Of their enjoyment and the
ased couple SO highly honored and
blessed with length Of days and loving
friends, are enjoying the occasion too
as II they were as young as the youngss
est.
There are friends from Harrisburg,
Philadelphia, Reading, Coatesville and
other places. They all met at the
Washington Hotel and at the appointed
hour marched in a body to Mr.. Wal
tons residence. A large number o.
pr ysents will be made this afternoon
but We do not know what they are.
Quicksiep W. salisbury.
C. B. Lynch Of the Quickstep wishes
us to state that he is in no way re-
sponsible for the publis ed accounts Of
ths bad treatment that the Quickstep
club received while at Salisbury. He
had no hand in their publication, An
y nderst nding is endeavored to be ar
reached between the clubs for match
game for $500, TO take place at Dover.
The hitch occurs over the question OF
players. The Salisbury nine will
accept the challenge provided the
same nine that played at Salisbury
be entered for the proposed game. Mr..
Lynch states that he cannot play th.
same nine that was played a, Sails
bury, AS a new nine has been formed i,
containing only two Of the former
players. He states that II the Sails
bury club is willing to play the present
nine, $3.50 will be placed in bank at
Dover at once and the remainder before
the day of the game.
