William kont WIS 800 yards from tho
explosion and was severely Injured by

Simmons, who was half a mile away, was
struck on the head by flying pick and
sustained severe injury. Several hours
elapsed before the bodies of Stevenson and
Fainter could be recovered. The expO-
sion occurred ono mile from the entrance.
Three trap doors to conduct tho air cur

from the after damp, and lumber Of the
wOrkmen were overcome and had TO be

Robert Stevenson, a brother of one Of
the KILLED, ran in after the explosion to

Cney Defeat tue Allentown oI tue Eastern
Leage TO ).


Yesterday afternoon the IrOnsides play.
ed their first game III this city with the
Allentown club, Of the EA tern league.
There was good sized audience present
and the grounds, although slightly damp,
we're in excellent condition. The Penn
syIyauIa railroad rau trains Iectly To the
grounds, stopping on the sidiug in front Of
TIE ticket office, aud it was certainly a
very convenient way of reaching the
grounds. Excursion tickets are issued 50
that those who use the train going out
can return IN the same way.
The game was called shortly after 3
o'clock by Derby, of the rolsidcs club,
who aCte u az um go - ths satisfaction of

Oldeld were the h-i4"'. did effective
work. Ward a. aged in the
same positions for the visitors. At the out
set the lronsides began hitting hard and
with the aid of several errors of the
visitors secured three runs. The Allen
towns tied this score by making three
runs in the fourth inning on bad throw
Of Donlld TO first, and an crrO. Of f..
Greene at short. The score remained tic
to tho seventh inning, when the Ire nsldes
hit very hard, and secured four runs, No
more were made during the game.
The lronsides showed wonderful i'm
pTOVement in playing, and it. is certain
that all they need is practice to make a
very fine club. At the bat they were
strong, McTamany leading with three
singles, while OldfieId got in one Of his
two baggers. Although the visitors have
a good club, they will have to improve 1t
very greatly il they want to hold a place
10 the Eastern league as they must iface
very strong clubs before the season is over.
They play carelessly in the field and are
lot sufficiently strong at the bat to com
pote with the clubs OF their association,
Dehlman, the manager and captain of
the nine, is o veteran ball player and
has been connected with many fine clubs,
SO that he is likely to bring this nine up
before the season closes. Lang was short
stop OF the Anthracites last season and
loott also played with that team.
The score of the game is given as fol

The Harrisburg telegraph says that
we are wrong in assuming that the in
crease of the duty on wool will add to its
price. II so, why does the wool grower
want the increased duty Does the
1degrdph desire us to understand that
the wool grower desires to promote
lower prices for hts product ? II so, will
it please say 80 specifically, as we do not
feel like assuming that 1t asks
this Of our understanding. We
have not ourselves as yet made
the acquaintance of any pro
ducer who is anxious TO secure lower
prices for what he has TO sell unless he
can at the same time decrease its cost
Low prices for wool would be agreeable
TO the wool grower no doubt, as securing
an increased consumption and demand
for wool, provided the cost Of producing
the wool was lowered in equal OF greater
proportion, but hardly otherwise. II the
Telegraph can tell us of a class OF
Arcadian wool growers, 80 innocently
devoted to the promotion Of the good of
shiyering humanity, as to be solicitous
TO sell wool regardless of cost and pro
6t, we shall be very glad to hear of them
AS we do not understand how the in
crease of the wool duty is going to lowe
the cost of the wool to the grower, W,
shall as at present advised stick to ou
opinion that he does not desire the in
creased duty for the purpose Of enabling
him to sell his wool at lower price.

Fraudulent Advertising.

The Philadelphia newspapers seem Il
have large interest In the white ele
plant. Their unsophisticated readers
will learn, after they have spent theil
half dollars to see the elephant, tina
they have been defrauded by con,
soiracy between the newspapers and thu
menagerie people. Advertising is {
newspapers business but 1t is not it'
business to wilfully lend itself to the
delusion Of Its readers. 1t Is not credit
able to newspaper to put paid adver-
tisements among its reading matter
without something to indicate that the
matter Ia paid for. II is gross abuse
by a journal Of It's privileges and oppor-
tunities to prlut ~ news what "a In fact
an advertigemt Il, and In solicit credit
for II to which II IL not entitled TO-DAY
all the Philadelphia newspapers publish
In their news columns and In their news
type what purports to be q description of
reporters effort to test the genuineness
of the color of one of the white elephants.
1t is, however, an advertisement,t though
without the marks Of one.
II the advertising devices of the white
elephant owners are successful in draw
ing visitors to the show we will have
fresh reason to reflect what fools we
mortals be. How silly it is that the differ
ence in the shade of color of an elephant,
a variation from the usual dun color to
a dirty white or pink hue, should have
the power to arouse the curiosity OF any
human being to see 1t, unless 1t
may be the naturalist who is
specially interested in physiological re
search. How II can possibly interest any
ordinary person seems incomprehensible.
Aud yet we know that 1t does. The
discussion in the newspapers has aroused
public attention and persuaded people
that there Is something new in the ele.
phant line which they want to see. OF
course, 1t is folly and no wise person has
such feeling. II anyone detects it iu
himself it is conclusive evidence that he
is silly. Quite probably the great ma.
iority of people find such an emotion In
their breasts {; we all know that the
most Of us are not wise. 1t Is fact
upon which the free advertiser fattens.
