Operators never tire in telling the

worth relating. 1t was during the late
war, when everything was considered
suspicious. A Confederate General, ac-
companied by an expert in telegraphy,
dashed open the door of little office
on the Mississippi River, and, placing
a revolver at the operators head. told
him to ask '.M-," twenty miles

there was no alternative. The other
operator was watching him closely So

There were none within fifty miles, but
something in the operators manner Of

suspect the truth. SO he answered

THE RIVER MURDER.

The Accused to be Turned Over to the
Authorities for Trial.
There will be further hearing In Phila-
delphia, this afternoon, boforS Uni6od oJaJes
Commissioner Henry r. Edmunds in the
case of the seaman, Henry Ferrington, who
is charged with the murder of the second
mate of the ship Adam M. Simpson. The
case was postponed from Friday In order to
give United States | istrict Attorney Valen-
tine time to communicate with the Gov
ernors OF New Jersey and Delaware.
Letters we're sent to each of those officials
on Saturday, in which Mr.. Valentine stated
that In this case the United States has
no Jurisdiction, the crime not having
been committed on the high seas. He fur
ther wrote that 1t was developed In the testi-
mony before the Commissioner on Friday
that the murder was committed at a part of
the Delaware river over which the States of
Delaware and New Jersey have concurrent
Jurisdiction, and he requested the authOri-
ties to take whatever action they deemed
proper. The prisoner will be held, it was
stated. to await the action of either one or
both of those Commonwealth.
The ship Adam M. Simpson, on Friday
morning shipped new second-mate and
three additional seamep, to take the place
of the murdered man, the prisoner, and the
two seamen who are detained as witnesses
against Ferrington. The vessel resumed
her voyage to Hiogo in the afternoon. In
explanation of the immediate disappearance
of the second mate after he was knocked in
the water, it is stated that as the difficulty
with the seameH occurred on the forecastle,
the mate must have fallen overheard close
to the bow. AS the ship was moving rapidly
at the time 1t Is supposed he was drawn
beneath her hull, and for that reason was
drowned at once.

SERMON TO THE ODD FELLOWS.

Rev. T. X. Cresmer's Discourse Yester-
day Morning In scott M. Il. Church.
About 200 Odd Fellows in full regalia at
tended services at Scott M. E Church, yes
terday morning. The church was crowded
from pulpit to gallery. The pastor, Rev. T.
r. Creamer preached special sermon and
took for his text tn. 41st chapter of Isaiah,
sixth and seventh yersesl "They helped
every one, his neighbor; and every one said
to his neighbor, BE Of good courage"
"Whatever may have been the previous
meaning of the Words" said Mr.. Dreamer,
"they set forth a condition devoutly to be
wished" Continuing, he said the
first requisite of every Christian or
ganization was the recognition of God.
God as creator and father which
gave rise to the two thoughts, the Father.
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
The origin of all such orders is found from
the necessities of humanity, and that man is
naturally dependent creature, relying on
one another in five different ways; FIRST,
physically; second socially; third, intel
iectually; fourth, commercially; fifth, spirit
ually. He exhorted his hearers to seek a
higher brotherhood, to reach beyond time
into eternity. He concluded with congra-
tulations and told the Odd Fellows that his
prayers were with them for the good work
they were doing, and he hoped they would
continue helping the bereaved and unfor-
tunate.

GAMES ON SATURDAY.
THE HOME CLUB SUFFERS
ANOTHER DEFEAT.
TWO BAD ERRORS IN ONE INNING.
A Game Lost In Critical Moment
Splendid Fielding BY Both CIubs-Notes
OF the Game.

The Quickstep Base Ball Club, SATURDAY..
gave in game with the Harrisburg club.
the very best exhibition Of ball PLAYING
they have given this season, and showed
what fielding they are really capable OF
when they settle down to hard work. Un-
fortunately, however, they spoiled their
good record by couple of fielding errors
that were attended with fatal results, and
yielded two runs that counted against the
home club when victory was In their hands
The game, however, was pretty and ex-
citing throughout It was battle of the
pitchers, and Pyle Of the Quicksteps and
Wise Of Harrisburg were SO effective in their
delivery that base hits were scarce and the
outfelders had but little to do. The infield
on both sides did nobly, and with the excep-
tion of the errors that gave two runs to
the visitors better fielding was never seen in
this city.
The Quicksteps made their first run in the
first inning, and In the next inning the Har-
risburg tied the score. No more runs were
made until the eighth inning, the home club
fielding SO beautifully that at one time they
blanEed their opponents after all three Of
the bases were filed.
The fatal eighth opened with base hit
for the first Harrisburg striker, who easily
took bag. The next man at the bat hit a
light tap, which Pyle, In his eagerness
to field in time to make a double
play, stumbled over and the runner
reached first. The next batter hit high fy
to Dorr, and after 1t was caught the men on
bases started to run. Dorr flelded the
ball to Snyder at first, who
threw 1t to Barber at third, to cut off the
man running from Second. Barber not
having time to put his man out, threw to
second TO intercept the other runner, but
made a mi nf no hol
out TO centre field. Before 1t could be re-
turned both runners scored.
The Quicksteps tried hard to recover their
lost ground In their half of the eighth
inning, and added one run to
their score, but the close fielding of the visi-
tors stopped further progress, and the side
was retired with q man on third base.
Neither club scored in the ninth inning.
Annexed is the full score:
