A Grand Programme of AmuSe.
ment Given at Sicher'S
Park.
The Auditors Nine Downs the
General Freight Nine bya
Score of 43 to 14-Night-
fall Stops the Slaugh-
ter.

The programme of amusement given by
the NJ. K. & T. base ball mines from the
general freight and auditing departments
was of the most interesting character and
fully came up 10 the expectation of the
public in every particular. The base ball
game was a little one-sided, but the crowd
fourd a large amount OF fun and
their applause became vociferous cheers
as the occasion demanded. The rain at
noon settled the dust and yet did not leave
a trace OF mud. The ball grounds
could not have been in finer condition.
The threatening appearance Of the weather
during the remainder OF the afternoon
reduced the attendance some, but the crowd
present was quite large and very enthusi-
asiic. The ball game was called at half
past three, and al the end of the second
inning the 100 yard running race was an
nounced. The players dropped their bats
and with the crowd gathered along the
track marked out for the runners. The
following athletics entered for the race.
Don Lingo, III. l.. Hollister. o Fl. Jacobs
Howard Striker and Ed. Huthsing. The
signal being given, they pulled out and
came in close together in the order as fol
lows: Huthsing, Lingo. Jacobs, Striker
and Hollister Time, 10S seconds.
The race caused great enthusiasm in the
crowd and the result brought forth loud
shouts Of applause. Mr.. Hollister won
many nice compliments by the digni6ed
manner in which he brought up the rear
of the race.
The race being over, the slaughter of the
general freight nine was resumed, but st
the end of one inning the game was again
interrupted by the announcement that the
bicycle race was the next performance.
The following cyclers were entered Don
Lingo, Boyd Gum and Joe Kelley. The
crowd gathered around the race track anu
watched with eager expectation the ad.
vent Of the cyclers, and when they
they were greeted with cheers from a
thousand threats and the waving
of hundreds of handkerchiefs held by fair
hands. The signal being given starter
behind each wheel gave 1t good push,
away they went and pulled out with
all their might. Lingo took the lead with
Gum second and Kelly third, within the
first quarter of the half mile, but before
they reached the half way point Kelly
shot ahead of Gum and in the last qHsrter
was close at the heels of Lingo, but the
latter noticing that fact braced up and
shot abe ad reaching home fully six lengths
ahead. Kelly second and Gum third. The
half mile was made in l minute and 40
seconds. The race was by all odds the
best feature of the programme.
The base bail game was resumed and
continued until after 7 o'clock. Seven
innings were played and a remarkable
score of 43 to ii made in favor of the
Auditors Nine. Base hits were so common
that they became too menotonous to count
and the official scorer did not count them.
The following is his report;

"HILT TO Hit"
A Desperate Encounter Between
Two Country Boys.

Last Wednesday evening a social
entertainment was held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Kelly, widow lady re-
siding four miles north of Clarksburg.
in the neighborhood known as "Pig-
con Roost," to which the country lads
aud lasses were invited to enjoy the
evening. Among those in attendance
were John Born and Jim Reuben LUIS
ter, both just verging upon manhood
and both residents of that vicinity.
Between these two young men there
had existed an ill-feellng for some
time, and during the evening trivial
affair occurred to arouse the slumber-
ing antipathy, but an encounter was
prevented by the bystanders. Like
flame, temporarily smothered, breaks
out with increased force, so was the
wrath of these young men, and ON
their way home, when about a quar-
ter of mile from Mrs. Kelly's resi-
dence, they dismounted to settle their
grievance. Both drew their pocket
knives, ana there in the dark
ness with courage worthy of better
cause, they slashed and cut each other
in the most frightful manner. Meth
er made an cutlery; neither uttered
moan, and when they were separated
neither knew that his adversary was
injured. They were taken to their re-
spective homes and DR.. Stewart, of
Clarksburg, summoned to attend both.
Born was found to have received a
severe cash on the throat, narrowly
missing his jugular vein; also cuts on
the head, face and arm. Luster re-
ceived dangerous thrust in the right
lung and three or four stabs in lie
back. 1t is understood that the blade
of Luster's knife was broken during
the fight, which was, of course FORUM
ate for his antagonist. In conse-
uuence Born's wounds are light cuts
compared with the more serious and
dangerous injuries received by Luster.
Our latest information is that both of
the combatants are doing well, and
their physician, DR.. Stewart, expresses
himself as hopeful of their recovery.

The best medical writers

The best medical writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of ap.
plication. and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and Ill
cersted surfaces. The history of the eff
forts to treat catarrh during the past few
years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these condi-
tons, aud that is Elys Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.
