She Tnt g., e Ciusu mud Interesting Game
From Munsiield-The Visitors In Mourn
ing Tor Manager SItIsol.
The Wheeling base ball club returned
yesterday morning, somewhat disfgur-
ed, but still in the arena. Under the
schedule the team is booked here for
two weeks, to play twelve games, Under
tho watchiul eyes OF the directors and
with encouragement from the patrons,
il is thought that it may be possible,
the weather permitting, for tho team to
better its percentage, which has OF late
tlken big drop.
Yesterday afternoon the Wheeling
and Mansfield clubs played game at
Island park that was won by Wheeling
by q score OF 6to5. 1t was one OF the
most interesting games that have been
played here this season, for the reason
that the teams were so evenly matched,
that it was not until the last man was
out that it was known how the game
would terminate, The statement that
the teams were evenly matched
may seem strange to those who
saw the Mansfield team play here
April 80, when the Tri State
Leagues season was opened, and did not
see Yesterdays game, but it is true, nev,
ertheless. Mansfield has been wonder
fully strengthened by the addition OF
Reeder, OF last seasons TOledos, and one
or two other good ones, and playsa good
strong game. This improvement was
the work OF poor Chris Meisel, the
clever manager, who is supposed to
have been one Of the victims OF that
awful rush OF waters down the Cone
maugh. lie had started for his home in
Newark, n. j., to be gone for a few days,
looking after some business connected
with his fathers estate, He is known
TO have been q passenger on the train
that left Pittsburgh, and was caught
by that fearful wave from the
South Fork dam, Nothing has
been heard OF him, although the
most diIgent inquiry has been
made for him. After hoping against
hope for the past three days the club
yesterday abandoned alI hope Of eveI
seeing him again and put on badges oil
Grape, The position Of manager is being
filled now by Jerry Burns, a prominent
business man OF Mansfield.
Yesterdays game was noticeable fol
several clever plays on both sides. On
two occasions the Mansfield men were
apparently in position to make three OIL
four runs, but Wheeling, aided by regu
Iarstreak OF good luck, blocked them out
England was hit hard, but failure t
bunch their hits did not give Mansfield
the advantage their heavy work Will

JoHNsTowN, June G,-EArly this morn
ing Chairman Heinz, OF the Relief Com

sylvania railroad conductors that two or
three women OF questionable character
had arrived in town last night The
railroad men watched them the entire
route and said that from their language
they were PROGRESSES, who hoped to
prey on unfortunate young women.
Heinz reported the matter 10 the police
officials, whp inien9 10 warn all susplc.

should ! find the women and lie sure
they were here for such q purpose,
would throw them into the river. All
young women who apply for relief will
be warned To beware OF these women.
The ladies Aid Society, Of Pittsburgh,
is interested in the matter and will have

SPRING WATER FRER.
a Liberal oaer by Nr. Isaiah Warren.
Tho CItY,s ChRneG.

A Liberal 0Hsr by Mr.. Isaiah Warren
Tho CIty's ChRRcH.
For several years it has been a matter
of frequent remark that the city should
wall in the excellent spring at the head
OF Fourteenth street, place q watering
trough there, and putin spigotG through
which citizens might draw of water in
buckets or pitchers. The wisdom oil
such a step is now more apparent than
ever. This, had 1t been done long ago,
would have been a decided advantage
now When 30 many people are relying
on this source ior their supply Of drink.
ing and cooking wafer.
4 strange story came to hand last
night. When people went 10 the spring
last evening to Oil their vessels with the
water, they found o man there with Il
wagon full OF barrels, which he was FILL
ing from tho spring, and he prevented
others from getting water until he had
all he wanted. II the police cannot or
will not prevent recurrence OF this,
the pRopIp will lind way or make one
to prevent It. II Yas said that the
mans object WIS to sell the water. His
name could not, unfortunately, he asGGr.
tanned.
Mr.. Isaiah Warren, manager OF the
Camden Oil Company's brRpGh In this
city, called ut tho lETELLIdESORR Office
last evening and made a very generous
offer, coupled with u suggestion Of value.
He offers, II the City Water Board will
wall in the spring and construct n reser-
Yoir TO bold all the water from tho main
spring and two smaller opes adjoining,
to distribute tho water through the city
free.
Tho proposed reservoir, built OF brick
and well Cementgd, can be built, II Ia es'
timated, at a cost OF less than $25. It
should be covered over to prevent con-
Illumination OF the water, and at least two
Spigots shoAld lead from II for the con.
venience Of persons aedFlpP 70 draw
water out.
Mr.. Warren's plan Is TO thoroughly
clean one Of the large tank wagons used
BY tho company for the purpose Of dis.
tributing oil. This will DO filled from
the reservoir, and the water delivered 10
laniltOs IN reasonable quantities for
drinking and potable purposes
" The people, who would DO the beneh.
ciSries Of this plan, wliEh Mr.. Warren
proposes to continue for ten days optW6|
weeks, ought 10 bring The pressure Of
public sentiment 10 bear on the Water
Board to have II do lis part, and do II at
once. Mr. Warren spoke TO two mem.

den company ~ Petersburg, and 70.

ling cart which Is kept ON the Island
might be 90 arranged ~ 10 netye for tho
OF water there, and that 4
supply could DO obtained from the ex.
ceilclt wells on the State Fair grounds.

Of a good supply Of fresh,
