Base BAH on the 4th.

Among the features on the 4th of
July was an interesting game or base
ball, between the local club of this town
and the East Mauch Chunk club. which
for several years held the championship
of Carbon county.
The game was interesting and excit-
ing throughout and the batting was the
heaviest ever seen upon the home
grounds. Up to the eighth inning It
looked as if the champions would carry
of the honors, but by a heavy streak Of
batting the nome club succeeded 10 get
ting nine runs. The visitors with an
equal degree Of slugging in the ninth
inning succeeded in getting one more
run than the home club. IN the ninth
aud last inning for the home boys the
first man TO bat hit Gassner's curves for
two bases and scored on another two
Dagger. The score now stood IS TO Ss,
when the next batter was hit by a
pitched ball, when the player on End
stole TO 3rd base, the umpire having
failed 10 call ont dead ball." and the
runner not knowing IL. The umpire
ordered the man back TO 2nd base when
the visiting players objected excepting
their captain who was willing TO finish
the game.
After about ten minutes arguing the
Umpire declared the base runner out.
Thus tho game ended, after putting only
two men out, with two men on base,
and the score tie as follows by innings:

Another Now Locomotive

A new passenger engine has just been
completed at the Weatherly shops, and
after several days of a trial trip on the
rJad was found 10 work in n practical
and successful manner. The locomotive
is patented after the old Beaver
which occassionly performs the duties
of passenger engine and noted for her
speed. The new engine has more of
the modern appliances and more capacity
for draft, than the old one. Among the
new improvements is patent on the
stack for arresting sparks. the invention
of assistant master mechanic Charles
Dewitt, one of the foremost mechanics
theoretically and practically, in this
section of the state.

Archbishop Ryan In Allentown.

Last Sunday was an important day to
the Catholics of Allentown, marking
the first visit to that city of Archbishop
Ryan. Preparations had been made on
an extensive scale to receive him with
becoming honors and he could certainly
not complain of the devotion of his
people there. He arrived on the G.29
train Saturday evening and was met ct
the Lehigh Valley station by the
Catholic congregations, Catholic societies
and large crowd Of spectators. Headed
by band, the LING of march was formed
and the Archbishop escorted to the
pastoral residence of Father Donegan,
with whom he spent the night. At ten
o'clock Sunday morning, at the Church
of the Immaculate Conception, after a
Solemn High Mass, the Archbishop
confined class of nearly four hundred.
In tbs afternoon, at the Church of the
Sacred Heart, he confirmed another
class OF two hundred. The music was
of high order and the attendance wa,
large. At five o'clock the Archbishop
left for South Bethlehem, where he con
frmed a large class.

A Mine Cavlng In.

A Mine Caving In.
a great cave-in occurred at No. 8 mine
OF the Delaware and Hudson Company,
situated in the northeastern part of
Wilkesbarre, Tuesday morning. The
fire bosses on entering the slope were
startled by a loud, rumbling noise, re-
sembling an earthquake. Fearing that
a oave-in was about to take place, they
hastened to the surface to inform the
miners and laborers about entering Of
their danger below. No one reentered
the mine until about eight o'clock, when
three experienced miners went below
to Investigate the condition of things.
They had hardly reached the bottom,
however, when cave-in took place in
distant part of the workings. The
pillars were crushed to atoms and the
roof fell with crash. The conclusion
was so great that two of the men were
thrQwn violently against pillar and
sustained painful injuries.
On the surface the work Of destruc-
ton was even more preoeptible Huge
orevloes in the earth, extending hun
dreds Of feet in every direction, opening
UP into gaping chasms, were plainly
discernible, and the public were warned
that to tread on the dangerous grounds
would be attended with probably fata
results, Luckily there were no houses
on the surface or they would have beer
wrecked. A coal train passing over Tux
sinking surface had q narrow escape
The rear brakeman felt the car or which
he was standing going down and hi
| jumped from the top and ran back to {
place Of safety. The railroad tracl
went down seven feet and is now tota
wreck, 1t is q branch Of the Philadsl
phia and Reading,
The cave-in was caused by the rob
bing of pillars in the mine, whicl
weakened the roof support. The loss t
the owners will be large.

Dr. plreotOrs MaY Tarnish Tszt Book.

Iho Directors May Furnish Tszt Books.
For many years doubt has existed in
the minds Of pnblic school authorities
whether townships and boroughs had
the right to furnish text books free to
the stRdents of the public schools.
Some years ago when Hon. Wm. Butler
was the President Judge of the Conrts
of Chester county, he rendered dicision
TO the effect that they had such a right ;
on another occasion Judge Pearson, Of
Dauphin county, in o similar case
rendered a contrary decision. Neither
case was ever taken to the Supreme
Court, hence the doubt spoken of above
The matter has been settled by the last
Legislature, by which a special act
authorizes directors to furnish free text
books. The bill has been signed by the
Governor, and is therefore a law The
act, however, does not compel directors
to furnish the books, but it allows them
to DO so, and it is probable that it will
result in the distribution of the free text
books.

oAiVarl0Alsts Arrested IN plymouth.
Monday night the Burgess, of Plymouth,
Luzerne county, issued warrants for the
arrest of Captain Marion, Lieutenant
Frank Brown, Edward L. Thomas and
John Rescola, leading members of the
Salvation Army in that town. For
some months past the Army have made
the place resound with their marching
hymns, noisy tambourines, cheering
and shouting. As the prisoners were
being taken into the Magistrates office
an excited crowd Of all classes gathered,
who with cheers, hisses and groans
made it almost impossible to conduct
the proceedings. After a hearing the
Burgess announced that he would inn
pose & fac of 50 and costs on each per-
son and would continue to do SO until
they ahan loned their parades through
the streets. The Salyationists sternly
refused to pay their fines and were COM
mitted to the county jail for five days.
They arrived ia Wiikesbarrs soon after
midnight same night and we're at once
taken to prison. Each prisoner was
consigned 70 a separate cell.
