Hall, formerly photographer of this
place, but now an inmate of the jail under
conviction for arson. He played short stop
and it is said he ran the bases like pro-
fessonal.
Speaking of base ball reminds me that
shenandoah, although not figuring actively
in base ball circles at present, is in posi-.
tion to put a club of local talent in the
fe Id that can give some of the would-be
champions a defeat A club went to
Tamsqua yesterday and beat the famous
club Of that place by score of 7 to 6.
Heffron and Fitzgerald formed the battery
for Shenandoah, and Fulmer and Wagner
pitched and caught for Tsmsqus.

The above is copy of note written on
notehead of one of the leading hotels in
town AMI which accidentally fell into the
hands of a-HERALD reporter. If the
writer of the note, or the woman to whom
it was addressed, wish to regain possession
of 1.-THE or she can do so. My only object
in publishing it is to warn such people
against allowing their clsndestine cores
pondence to become public property. The
important feature of the note is, that it
seems to confirm the reports that some of
our hotels are not being conducted as
respectfully as the proprietors pretend they
| are. Lizzie-ten-o' cock-at night-engage-
ments are not tolerated at respectable
hotels
A resident of town who figures prom

cratic county convention: Congress, Hon.
James B. Reilly; Judge, Hon. John Ryon:
Coroner, DR.. Marshal, of Ashland; Poor

Yesterdays HERALD reported an acci-
| dent to Lizzie Thomas, the ten-year. old
daughter of Widow Thomas, of West
Lloyd street, but the injuries were not re-
ported as serious as they have developed,
Her tongue is badly swollen and all her
teeth are loose. Lizzie found torpedo on
the street and bit it to see what it was made
Of The torpedo exploded and the girl
has been suffering great pain since.
1 was reminded of oden times the other
day when saw the veteran Coal and Iron
Policeman Peter Kreiger strike light for
his pipe. Kreiger carries with him pieces
of flint and punk. He uses them expertly
and can light his pipe without delay, and
without the expense attending the purchase
of matches. So far ss 1 know he is the
only man in town who is Independent of
the match trusts.
On the Fourth of July a group of
townsmen were discussing the splendid
weather afforded for the day and Jacob
Bamberger's mind went back to thirty-two
years ago. He said he distinctly remem.
bered the weather conditions about the 4th
of July, 1889 as on that day the Sunbury
and Erie Railroad was formally opened
between Williamsport and Lock Haven
and he was one of the passengers on the
train The Fourth fell on Monday that
year, as it did this year On July lst and
End the weather was extremely warm. On
the morning the 3rd the sky became very |
black and there was fall of heavy drops i
of rain, which, however, lasted but short |
time The weather then grew cold and |
that night quilts were resorted to for
bedding. On the 4th it was so cold that
fires we're called into play and stoves were
eagerly sought for. The weather did not
moderate until towards the close of the
week. The conditions of the weather
about the 4th this year are not unlike those
spoken of by Mr. Bamberger.

Politically speaking, think the Demo-
cratic party will have choice stock of
boomerangs on hand before the presiden-
tial campaign closes. A hue and cry has
been raised against w. j. Campbell, the
new chairman of the Republican National
Committee, the Democrats charging that
he is counsel for the great Armour beef
trust. The charge is admitted and it is
equally true that Armour is an ardent
Cleveland man and he is trying to get
