On Tuesday evening six of the Woods
town Base Ball Club aided and abetted by
the members of Capt. Eugene Engle's
''Stars" played a scrub nine mustered for
the occasion, on lot near the station, and
laid them out handsomely by score Of 10

The above is the version givenus by one of
the Woodstown Club, but one of the
Scrubs says it is too highly colored that
the score was 8 to 3, and that the Woods
town Club refused to continue the game,
pleading that it was too dark. also that the
umpire stood in with the Woodstown Club,

take their choice and the players can set
tie it among themselves. Its none Of our

A match game Of Base Ball between the

talked of, but as yet the arrangements
have not been made, owing to the difficulty

they come to Woodstown during the Fair

would doubtless attract many spectators.

An EarfItNuakc,

On Sunday afternoon a little after two
clock three distinct shocks or tremblings
of the earth were felt one after the other
Some were inclined to attribute to an eX-
ploSion Of a powder mill, but the absence
OF any concuSSion of the air seemed to set
this conclusion aside. The effects were va
riously described by those who felt them as
a Earring or rocking which caused window
sash and dishes to rattle. pictures and look
ing glasses to swing on the walls, and a
very perceptiblc motion Of the earth One
or two parties We're awaked from their al
ternoon maps, while III the words of little
fve-year old who heard her folks talking
of the matter, 1T didn't .joggle the Sunday
School. Older pupils say the shock was
plainly felt. We were in Bridgeton at the
time, but neither felt the shock nor heard
any one comment on it. Information gath
erod from the morning papers of Monday
show that the disturbance was very gen
eral in Pennsylvania, New York and along
the coast, but was felt no further west than
Cleveland and but little south of Balti-
more.
The earth is generally considered about
AS steady and secure 4 foundation as can
be had, but when she begins to show signs
of breaking up man is very apt to Won
der what he will catch hold of when the
smash comes. We call to mind the pie
ture of the earthquake at Caracas i'll the
old Biographies i'll use i'll our school days
wherein houses We're topplmg, people We're
flying, the earth was opening and cngulf-
ing confused mass of human beings. and
how thankful we used to be that we Were
not there.
These phenomena are more common than
many suppose. 1t is estimated that twelve
or thirteen earthquakes. more or less de-
structive of life and property. occur every
year and it is said that in one quarter or
another of the earth's surface, tremors or
slight shakings are always taking place.
In the great Lisbon earthquake 60, 900
people persisted, and in that Of Calabria, at
the end of the last century, 10000 were de
stroyed, and it is estimated that as many as
$4,000, 900 of human beings have persisted
from this cause.
In July of last year one of the most ter
ribe earthquakes of this century occurred
at Casamccioa in the bay of Naples, Italy
by which the town, noted watering place,
was totally destroyed and between 1000 and
1000 persons lost their lives
In April OF this year a portion Of En-
gland was visited by an earthquake which
did great damage, estimated at nearly half
a million dollars.
Our Older citizens recollect the severe
shock experienced in 1911 and the later
one of 1856 in this country.
No serious damage was done by the
shock on Sunday, but in some localities.
where ii was most severe, people were badly
frightened. In one or two places houses
were thrown down and i'll Philadelphia and
Camden walls We're cracked and chimneys
thrown over No lives We're lost anywhere
so far as we can ascertain.

off passengers, a number OF SwedeSboro
boys jumped on board thinking to get

the train when it stopped for water at
Swedesboro on the r,tum trip to Camden.
The train came down to oodstowh,
discharged the last of its passengers ana
r..tnrncd but the locomotive didn't feel
thirsty at Swodesboro. and SO it didn't stop
there nor anywhere else, till it reached
Camden when the boys were compelled to
spend the remainder of the night as best
they could Before getting on railroad
train it is just as well TO inquire where 1t
will stop.
