A GAME WELL SPOILED.
THE CHBRUBs LEAvE THE FIELD
AND THE COLTS GET THE GAME.
An Ugly Act Brings tho Game Abruptly to
An End. Tho Afternoon Winds Up In
Quarrels, Disorder and Discomfort.

mon Dleu," feelingly remarked Jean
Pierre O'Rourke that slender, non-chal-
ant Frenchman, az he pulled off his
sweater after the game yesterday.
"Them Cherubs nearly scotched us this
eve" The remark was so pithy, and
withal so ingenious that graceful. 1.-the
Umbed Neddie Tate, who was standing
near by, rejolned: ZACH Colt! Du hast
rechr, dose mems dey did knock our
socks on-aindt it?'
Thus spake the players, and In n Few
winged words told the story OF the
struggle. What game that Of yesterday
might have been had the players but
taken a draught Of the milk Of human
Kindness before donning their suits.
The occasion was suspicious. When, at
five, the Colts and Cherubs Joined battle,
the sun was shining on six hundred hap
py bleachers and three policemen. and the
air was as balmy as the smile OF the
politician on election day. 1t IS true
that Jupiter Piuvus rested his chin on
the northern abatment of the belt-line
bridge. and threatened 10 visit Forest
Hill which threat he subsequently, per-
formed But nobody paid any attention
TO ]. Pluvius. and up TO the seventh in
ming there was as pretty a game as one
might wish TO see.
Sir Patrick Verbose Zeigler and Major
Lemons were both hit freely, the Cher
ubs punching five hits In the fourth in
nings and getting a strong lead on the
Colts.
In the seventh inning. when the Vir-
ginias had three men on bases with only
one out, Lumsden drove the sphere 70
centre, and Tate scored on the hit.
Leftwich attempted 70 do likewise but
Hodges threw 10 the plate so accurately
that Il looked as II Ieftwich would b.
touched. At this juncture Neddy Tate,
IN that playful way which IS character
istic Of him, and which most people call
"soiled ball" deliberately showed Foster
as the ball reached him. and caused him
10 drop it allowing Leftwich 70 score.
Then came chaos and confusion. Prof.
Horace r. Smith who was umpiring
did not see Tate shove Foster, an refused
10 call Leftwich out. This raised the Ire
Of Barley Kahn, and he the umpire. the
Messrs. Bradley and all the players held
an excited pow-wow. But Smith WIS
firm. and on the Cherubs declining 10
play, gave the game to the Virginias,
Score: 9 10 in favor Of Virginias.
After the game was over. there was a
little (wordy) scrap on the ield-and then
Il rained cats and dogs.
Mr. Smiths performance. yesterday,
stamps as an exceptionally fine umpire.
Not only does he display much judge
ment in calling strikes and balls. but he
is impartial and intelligent In all his de
cisions, and Is very positive. The league
will do well to have him often.
Was the crowd mad? Well, most Of
them will not read the following with
pleasure:

would be unable to successfully conduct your business
protect your investments as well as you
But there is CHANGE that you may at any moment
be thus to turn your affairs over the manage
ment of another-namely in the event of your death
Remember that executors often think more about
avoiding risks and protecting themselves than OF carry
ing the spirit of the testaors views They gener
ally lack experience in the business they trying to
wind up.
This inexperience and possible lack of interest may
cost ten fifteen per cent of the value of your estate
or more.
You cannot but recognize the truth Of this staemeu
nevertheless YOU can guard against this loss by assuring
your life for the amount which in your Judgment your
executors would waste in winding up your estate.

living expenses pay from your income the premium

If you then chance to die your executor will be
INSTANTLY in the possession of $4,000 100000 Of
CASH IN HAND; and ready money will have FoURpoLO
value if DEATH COMES
On the other hand if you live, and take your assu-
rance (for exampIe on the twentyyear Iontne Endow
ment plan you will YOURSELF reap rich reward on ma

CLEABFELD, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE resi-
dents OF the lowlands along the west
branch valley between Curwensville and
Clearfeld are threatened with destruc-
tion. Az the former place is located the
large saw mill Of the Curwensville Lum-
Der company, and they control almost all
of the timber on the headwaters of West
Branch and all that on Anderson Creek,
which Joins the river at the mill
In order to hold the logs that are cut
during the cutting season a large boom
is located at the mill and extends two
miles up the river.
At present there are over D, 900, 600 feet
of logs in this boom, and on top of these
logs is gorged at least 10 feet of ice
The ice gorge extends distance of si1
miles and the water is OVERLOOKING the
banks all along the river for distance
Of ten miles and this morning is above
the ten foot flood mark, as all the ice
from Curwensville down has left the
course and if break occurs the
whole gorge may come upon the inhabit.
ants at any minute,
There never was more snow in the
woods than at present, and when the
weather gets warmer, the river rises fast
Last Monday the river was up to the
highest point known in it's history ut the
head of the Curwensville boom but a
fortunate cold snap followed and the
water went down.
If the Curwensville dam breaks nothing
can prevent great loss of property, bott

Eight iron bridges belonging to tn,
city span the stream below the DAM
and the valley is so narrow that tn,
water has no chance to spread and will
thus inundate and destroy most of th
private property along the banks

POISON GIVEN TO FIVE.
A Girl Tries to Kill Her UnoIo ard Everl
Member of the Family.

CAMDEN, N. j., Feb, 11.-Wanting
more liberty in the evenings than she
was allowed in the strict family of her
uncle and guardian, John Horlacher, of
No. 625 Montgomery avenue, Katie Hor-
lacher has been gradually poisoning him,
his wife, mother and two children,
She prepared the meals for the family
and the coffee and soup were the channel
through which she attempted her scheme
by mixing with them small quantities of
two different poisons, one red and the
other white corrosive preparation.
Last Thursday Horlacher reported to
the police his belief that the sickness of
his family was due to poison IN their
food and named Katie as the suspect,
Yesterday Katie was arrested. She made
Il full confession, duplicating Harriet
Ritter of No. 709 Fern street, who, she
alleged, procured for her the poison, tell
ing her they would share the money left
by the grandmother
The grandmother and one child are still
dangerously i'll.
On one occasion Katie was compelled
to eat tie poisoned food and was taken
sick like the rest OF the family

Fears that the River Uti soon be Above
the Danger Line.
CINCINNATI, Feb 1.-THE river is rap
idly rising at all points above Cincinnati,
and food seems certain.
The snow and continued rain have
caused the waters to climb up the banks
in a remarkably short space of time, 50
that now the prediction is made by river
prophets that the Ohio will swell beyond
the danger line,
The river is rising at the rate of four
inches an hour, and the condition of af-
fairs above the city indicates that the
rise will be continuous
The danger line is placed at 52 feet,
although at 80 feet much damage is usu.
ally sustained.
The water is now Al feet high at this
city
Two piers of the railroad bridge at New
Comerstown have been washed away, and
the bridge is left clihging to one Of the
remaining abutments.
On the main line of the Fort Wayne
the tracks are inundated at several points
and the branches are badly knocked out
by the high water.
The Erie, Youngstown, g. Ashtabula
is submerged by four feet of water al
Warren, Ohio, and at Nashville, Ohio,
on the same road, twenty-five inches OF
water cover the tracks, with the river
still rising.
