mica district in the world, there being
within a radius Of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of which is upward of
10000 pounds Of mcrchantable mica to

The regular meeting of the common
council was held, Tuesday evening, at
the council-room. Several bills pre-
sented were audited and allowed. The
question of special policemen for the
days of the reunion, was taken up, and
it was ordered that four day and six
night police be added to the force, the
selection being left in the hands of the
Marshal. Discussion then ensued, on
the subject of saloon regulation during
the reunion, the saloon-keepers wishing
the privilege to keep open beyond their
usual limit of ten o'clock. The general
impression was that the whole matter
was regulated by ordinance, and the
council could not make any change.
This matter, also, was finally left in the
hands of the Marshal, with the tacit un-
derstanding that the length of time sa-
looms would be allowed to overrun their
usual time would depend altogether
upon the quietude which reigned in each
place. The question of throwing rub
bish into the streets was then taken up
and discussed, the result being that 3 de-
termination was reached to prohibit any
thing OF the kind, and enforce the ordi-
nance on this subject to the letter.

cided to hold the examinations with
closed doors. A wall of agony went up,
and slowly and sorrowfully a dreary
procession fl'ed away to its several voca-
lions. The members could have saved
their tears After a few preliminaries had
been gone through with, |. emotion was
made by counsel for the defense, for a
continuance for sixty days. The length
of time did not seem to take away his
honor's breath, as might have been ex-
pected, and the motion was granted.

fixed upon, and MeNelly remanded to
Jail. until such time as he could obtain
the proper amount of Judicial lubricat-
ING oil wherewith to cause the grim
doors 10 turn on their hinges.

THE game of ball advertised to be
played on the fair grounds last Friday,
between the Bloomington and Lancas-
ter mines, did not take place owing to
the non-arrival of the Bloomington
nine. The game was advertised and
the home nine had made all prepara-
tions necessary, when, at late hour
Thursday evening, they received let
ter stating their opponents were not in
shape to play. The disappointment
was great, but in order that the boys
and the public might not be baked of
their sport a second nine was organized
to play the regulars. The game was
called at two o'clock sharp and the
picked nine went in with an easy non
chalence that showed they were at home
in the diamond, but yet did not intend
being too hard on the boys and there
fore just for encouragement, after send
ing the regulars to bat, allowed them
to score ten or twelve runs. Up to this
point everything had been working
serenely but suddenly there came
cloud over the spirit of the dreams of
that picked nine. Their score sheet
only showed one run when they found
themselves again chasing the frisky
globe rs it went careening over the
field. 1t began to appear that a cog
had slipped somewhere and those base
ballists who went in with a proud
consciousness of holding the key to the
situation came out at the end of five
innings shaven and shorn of all but
that solitary one run. Still they could
be generous and this magnanimity led
them to allow their opponents to walk
of with a score of thirty. Thirty to
one isn't very bad but it is bad enough
and game was called right there. Even
generosity has its limits. A second
game was then organized between two
picked mines and several innings played
to the mutual satisfaction of all parties.
| This was the first time the home nine
had chance to show what il was made
of and the exhibition made them eter-
nally solid with the Lancaster people,
who have reason to believe that Lam
caster holds the champion nine of this
portion of the state. If any other fell
lows think different the boys viii settle
the question, willingly. on the diamond.
But it is cool nine that viii go home
with ball in their pocket that Lam
ca ster furnished
