Comrnde Lemon. of Post 157. Assaulted.

The comrades of Post l57 are talking of one
of their members, who came to grief one day
last wee's at the hands of cowardy fellow
workman. Comrade Tom Lemon is q driver
for the wholesale house of Joseph Horne & Co.
A colored man is also a driver for the same
firm The story goes that Comrade Lemon,
who is a quiet good-natured man, asked the
colored man to drive his wagon a short piece up
the alev back of the store and allow him to
pass with his team. The colored man demurred
in Lemon being approached from behind and
assaulted by the other driver. A boulder was
used in the attack, and the unfortunate CON-
rade was jumped upon. He will not be able to
leave his home for at least week in conse-
quence. His comrades say he was entirely
without blame in the matter He was uncon-
scious for several hours after the attack. As
he is an excellent comrade, this misfortune
causes considerable talk in the post.

Department Commander Denniston is busily
engaged in arranging matters for the benefit
next Saturday for the West Penn Hospital. of
which he is one of the Board of Managers
There will likely be many Grand Army men at
the benefit Al Its meeting Thursday evening
Post l57 decided to purchase 90 tickets at 81 a
piece and sell them among the members at so
cents. Thus many will be enabled to go who
might not be able to pay the full price. The
military display will begin at the Exposition
grounds at o'clock and continue for probably
two hours. The concert in the evening at
Mechanical Hall by the famous Marine Band
will be a rare treat. 1t was, of course, ex-
tremely difficult to secure the great band for
this occasion Ia Cabinet meeting was necessary
before the requisite order could be securely
and Major Dennlston reports that it would
have been much more difficult were it not that
the West Penn Hospital takes care, without
charge, of a number of sick veterans.
The presence of the wife of the first Com
mander in Chief of the Grand Army, Mrs. Gen.
eral John A. Logan, will interest the comrades
generally. During the intermission on Satur-
day nights programme she will present to the
veterans of the hospital on behalf of James
Grove beautiful American flag, which will
be received on behalf of the old soldiers by
Past Department Commander Thomas j. Stew
art After the concert Mrs. Logan will hold
reception in the Exposition building parlor.
which will be handsomely decorated under di-
rection of Major Denniston.
A guard of honor composed of veterans in
full Grand Army uniform will attend the
widow of the illustrious Logan.

Ex.Confederate. md the Grant monumen

Ex- Confederates and the Grant Monument.
This reproduced message which was sent to
the daily press last week. will be read with in
terest by all old soldiers and their friends:
ION the night before the unveiling of the Lee
statue, score or more of ex-Confederate Off
GERS were sitting in the Westmoreland Club at
Richmond. One of them, now a resident of
New York City, spoke of the resolution offered
by Representative Flower, asking Congress to
give S250000 toward building the monument
that New York City promised to erect to Cen
eral Grant. The speaker did not approve of
the resolution, but said that if New York has
not raised the money for the monument before
the lst of September he intended to start sub
scription of Southern men and head 1t with
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting the monu-
ment. There was momentary silence, when
leading ex-officer rose and said: 1 agree to add
Sc. 600 TO your subscription Then in quick
succession others rose and pledged various sums
until within a few minutes $50. 600 had been thus
raised"

It was q great game and Lehighton got
thar Perhaps of the twenty or more
games played this season by the Champions
Of the Lehigh Valley, none was more
stubbornly contested, fought out inch by
inch, than the game with Ashland-Mt.
Carmel Combination on the home grounds
last Saturday in the presence of 800 to 1000
people. Lehighton was on their metal and
never put up better article of ball-out-
playing in every point the Combination,
the strongest club by all means in the great
region of hard coal. Il was a great game,
and at critical points the wind stopped
blowing and people held their breath, but
O'Hara, tireless, determined and with a
perfect control of the ball was on duty in
the pitchers box; Jennings, reliable and
indomitable was behind the bat; Christ
man, with agility and reliability, was
on first; Simmons with no amateur equal
guarded second; Rothernal gingered third
in splendid style; Chambers took care of
short stop, while Stalz, Yenser and Al
bright guarded left, centre and right re-
spectiyely The Combination re-organiz-
ed, reinforced and strengthened in every
point, determined on victory, play ed the
game Of their life. 1t was short, quick
work up to the sixth inning each club
drawing blank after blank, until in the
seventh round Jennings lined ball safe
TO lett, stole second and passed to third on
a short hit which gave Simmons first.
Next SLalz took up the stick, once be
swung his bat at the air, then he tipped
little fowl, then the ball with It's wicked
curve came moving toward him for the
second strike, but he met It even on the
home plate and lined IL out safe between
centre and right for two bags while amidst
a storm Of the widest applause Jennings
and Simmons followed each other over the
rubber. There were no more runs scored
by the home team, but in the eighth, the
Combination made a point, and the game
ended to 1. We append the score:
Lehighton---0 O o 0 o 2 0 x-2

The Coming County Fair.

Arrangements are already being perfect
ed for the holding of the annual exhibition
of the Carbon county Industrial Society on
their grounds in this place during October's
second week. These annual exhibitions
have been the means of awakening much
interest and creating pleasant rivalry
among the farmers of the county who al
ways put on exhibition the very best of
their product from the farm and stable
with the result that each year there has
been a quite noticeable improvement in the
excellence and quality of the exhibits.
This is creditable to the farmers and socle-
ty alike. In proportion also have the ex-
hibits of fancy and miscellaneous articles
increased until the "Lehighton fair'' has
become an event always looked forward to
by tue people, not only in this but in ad-
joining counties, who swell the daily at
tendance up into the thousands. This
year particularly the farmers and all others
should make 1t a point to surpass all pre-.
ylous efforts In this line. There Is yet not
quite two months time, so let us an Get tc
work.
