NUMBER TEN.
WHEELING WINS HER TENTH STRAIGHT
VICTORY YESTERDAY,
Defeating Canton by Hard Hittrg-rhs flames
Should Be Better Pstunizsd-fo-Days tame
General News Of the Diamond.

Wheeling easily defeated Canton for the
third time in the present series on the
home grounds, yesterday afternoon, oy
superior work with the stick, which makes
the tenth successive victory for the team.
Morrison was in the box for the home team
and he pitched one of the finest games ever
seen on the home grounds, allowing the
Cantons only three hits, which were scat
tered. Stencil caught him perfect man
ner, while the general field work Of the
team was very good, otterson's stop OF
hot groupder in deep short being especial
" noticeable. Otterson is undoubtedly
doing the finest work at short ever seen on
the home grounds.
Delaney pitched for Canton, and the
home team was unable to solve his deliv-
cry in the early part of the game but IN
the fifth and seventh innings they knocked
the ball silly. That their batting was
timely is evidenced by the fact that eleven
of the twelve runs were earned.
Canton made her first two runs IN the
sixth, when three men should have been
out-a muff of pop fly by Morrison,
Van SAINTS error and q bad throw by
Stencil. TIER third run was made on
Days two-bagger, Zecher's out and Stape g
bad throw to Stencil.
Wheeling made one in the first on
Nichols tSo-bsgger, bad throw by De-
laney and Otterson's hit. In the fourth,
Stape's fly was muffed by right, which
took him to second, whence he went to
third on Brodie's sacrifice and home on
Van SAINTS hit.
In the fifth, Morrison hit safe and scored
on Stencils fine drive to centre for home
run. Otterson hit safe, stole second and
scored on Crogan's hit. In the seventh,
Stencil led of with two-bagger, went to
third on Delaney's bad throw and home
on Nichols hit. Sam stole second, went
to third on Oltsrson's out and home on
Crogan's hit. Jack went to second on
Stape's hit and scored on Brodie's single.
Brodie stole second and he and Staps scored
on Van SAINTS hit. Van stole second and
scored on Peaks hit. Another was made
in the ninth, when Nichol hit safe, stole
second, went to third on wild pitch and
scored on Crogan's two-bagger.
Following is the official score:

The Money Arrived Safely

In our issue of last week we noticed that
Mrs Peter Hoke, of this place, had drawn
S., 900 in the Louisiana State Lottery, and
since then have had inquiries made regard.
ing the same, in answer to which we give
the following: About two weeks or so be-
fore the drawing Mr.. Hoke sent one dollar
to the Lottery Company by Express, for a
one-t tenth ticket in the May drawing, and
in the course Of ten days, received the
same, Ticket No. 81, 1922. Several days
after the drawing, she learned through a
Washington newspaper, that ticket No.
81, 492 had drawn the Second Capital
Prize of $50 600, and Immediately tele-
graphed to Mr.. NJ. A. Dauphin, the Presi-
dent of the Company at New Orleans, and
received reply the next day that the same
was correct, whereupon the ticket was
sent Immediately to the company by ex-
press. Just seven days after the ticket
was sent away, the express agent at this
place left letter at Mrs. Hoke's contain
ing draft on a New York bank for the
amount, $1,000 which was in full without
any discount or percentage off. The
draft was Immediately placed in bank
where it was considered as good az the
ready cash. In an interview with a re-
porter of this paper Mr.. Hoke said that he
had bought tickets in the Lottery several
times before, he thought about six or
seven, and always had them sent to his
wife. Also that the money had come in
very nicely to them, as they were little
in debt which they were enabled to re-
lease at once and have handsome sum
left. He has no doubt that the drawings
are fairly and impartially made. This is
the second tine that 5000 has come to
this place from the lottery, the other one
having been drawn about six years ago.
Mr.. Hoke is q highly respectable citizen
of this place and has been engaged for
years in the grocery business.-Emmitts-
burg Md Chronicle, Mdy 26.

ONLY HALF DONE.
BUr ONE BRANCH OF COUNCIL IN SESSION
LAST NIGHT,
And Public Business is CorsspOndingly Delayed
The Bills Payable Run Up High
The Proceedings in Detail.

Councilmen got together very SLOWLY
last night, for the last June meeting, IL
being half-past eight before President
Gilleland succeeded in soaring up fifteen
members of the Second Branch. A motion
to lay the minutes aside, owing to the
lateness OF the hour, was voted down, and
those present proceeded to chat among
themselves on all imaginary topics, not con-
nected with public affairs. while the CLERK
went over the record. When the pre-
liminaries were out of the way, the petit
ton of Mayer & Urburn, to keep coffee
house at No. eleventh street, was
granted.
STREET RAILROAD MATTERS.
Mr.. Caldwell then called attention to
the fact that at the last session he had In
troduced an ordinance granting the Wheel
ing Railway Company the right to con-
struct its track from Eorty-sscond to Forty
third street, on Jacob, the company de-
string to change the route from Eoff street,
in order to get q straight track. The or
dinance also relieved the company from
paving between its tracks on Jacob street,
from Forty second to Forty-eighth street,
a matter which he though was onerous,
inasmuch as the company was not running
horses over the line. He also PRE-
scented an ordinance relieving the
Citizens Company from paying for certain
paving on South Jacob street, south Of
Thirty-niuth street.
Mr.. Cruise objected to the paving matter,
and Mr.. Gilleland thought the change Of
route was not right. Mr.. Caldwell hoped
there would be no delay, especially on the
change OF route. but the papers were both
referred to the Committee on Ordinances.
BIG JOB FINISHED.
The ordinance prescribing rules for the
Board OF Public Works, amended so as to
abrogate the power of the Board to make
contracts up to 81, 900, and also appropriate
ing to the Board the total amount of its
contingent fund, which paper, it will be
remembered, was read in full first time at
the last meeting, was again taken up. and
the second reading finished in thirty min
utes. The ordinance was then read a
third time by its title and passed. The
purpose of the amendment is not only to
give Council q better control over the
Board, bat also to facilitate the action OF
the latter by allowing the Clerk to draw
orders on the contingent fund up to the
full amount thereof, whether the money is
actually on hand or not.
