TIGERS PARK REOPENED.
FIRST GAME ON THE NEW GROUNDS
LOST BY THE HOME CLUB.

A Strong Team from HazIeton Succeeded
in Capturing Yesterdays Game by the
Close Score of @ to 4-other Base Ball
Notes of Local Interest,
The Tigers park was opened yesterday
with an audience of about $50 people,
who had assembled to see the game be-
tween the Tigers and a picked club of
Hazleton. The visiting nine was one
of the strongest teams that has been
here in a couple of years, and several
well-known ball tossers were on the
club. The home team, however, put up
fair game against them, but their lack of
practice showed at times. The score
was close all through the game, and
there were several neat plays and some
good hitting and fielding on both sides.
The visitors succeeded in placing six runs
to their credit, while the Tigers sent
only four men around the bases. The
batteries were: Mayer and Fairhurst for
Hazleton, and S. Welch and Mckinley
for the Tigers.
Although the home team lost, the
game, nevertheless, was interesting, and
a few more like it will bring back all the
base ball enthusiasm of former years.

From the Hazleton Standard.
A rear end collision occurred at the
Jeddo tunnel on Friday morning, which
resulted in the injury of one man and
the destruction of several coal cars, and
badly damaging one engine. Engineer
Bachman, of engine l03, pulling train
of freight, had partly entered the tunnel
when Engineer George Greby, of engine
us, came laundering along with coal
train, but had not observed the train
ahead of him until he entered the tunnel.
He made a desperate effort to stop his
train, but it was too late, and a crash
was the result.
Fearing that the coal cars might pile
in over the tank and cab, Greby revers-
ed his engine and jumped, and in so
doing became entangled in switch and
was thrown into pile of stone, breaking
three ribs and severely injuring his
ankle. The cause of the collision is due
to the fact that the freight train display
ed no signal.

The Woodwards Great Record.

From the Wilkes Barre Record.
For several years the Nottingham col
liery at Plymouth has had the record of
beating all other collieries in the United
States, if not in the world, in hosting
the greatest tonnage of coal from deep
shaft. On Monday last with little effort
the Woodward colliery of the d. L. &
w. Coal Company hoisted in nine hours
400 cars, 700 in the forenoon and 700
in the afternoon, thus beating the Not
tngham. The weight of coal hoisted is
nearly 1000 tons.

New Money Order System.

On and after July l the postal note
will become obsolete, and the present
form of domestic money orders will also
give way to something different and pre-
sumably better than that now in use.
The postal note thus summarily abolish
ed has been in use eleven years.
Under the new system any amount
from one cent to 500 may be sent by
money order. Orders not exceeding
$3.50 will cost three cents; those between
$3.50 and S5 will cost five cents; $40,
eight cents; $50, ten cents, and so on up
to amounts between $75 and 800, which
requires fee of thirty cents. If
drawee wishes to change an order, or
cash it himself instead of sending it to
the person in whose favor it was drawn,
he can get his money back, but not the
fee that he has paid. If money order
is lost money will be repaid by the post
office department through warrant, at
the expiration of a year.
Offices now designated as postal note
offices will under the new act become
Limited money order Offices" that is
offices authorized to issue money orders
for sums not exceeping S., but not to
pay any money orders whatever. As
for the postal notes that may be left in
circulation after July l, they will con-
tinue to be paid upon presentation as
under the existing law

A novel sight and one that is unpre-

the people of Old SILVER Brook on Friday.
1t was Hungarian riding on cows
back through the town. The animal
was neither bridled, saddled or haltered
but the Hun didn't mind that and went
his way as cheerful as if he was on the
back of the swiftest steed. He came all
the way from Eckley and was bound for
Mahanoy City.

Valley tracks until the wreck was clear
ed away. No one was hurt.

On account of domestic difficulties,
John Bishabe, Hazleton Italian, made
a desperate attempt to end his life on
Friday. He first cut his throat, making
a cash across his windpipe, but not deep
enough to severe the vital cord. He
then drove the blade into his stomach
three times, and fell exhausted. He
was taken to the miners hospital, but
can hardly recover.

should Hon. Eckley B. Coke grasp the

Valley The FREELAND TRIBUNE is
already gorying in such possible
future. Everything has its possibilities
and Mr.. Coke shares public sentiment
in whatever he undertakes, so it would
not fall into the hands of a scheming
political boss, if it ever falls to his lot.

Roproved by Her Mother.

The following story must certainly
be about Empress Frederick, who
as a child was literally princess
among naughty little girls. A little
English princess was once carried on
board yacht by sailor who, us he
set her down, said; "'Thcre you are, my
little ladyP' The child, who did not
like being carried, shook herself and
said: I'm not little lady! I'm a
princess" Her mother said quietly:
"You had better tell the kind sailor
that You are not little lady yet
though you hope to be one some day" "

THOUGHT 1T WAS EDDIE.



Not the One Reported.
| The mystery which has surrounded
the disappearance of little Eddie Broth
erton, a seven-year-old boy of Ashley,
since January 10, has, it is thought, been
cleared up by the finding of his body in
the river near Danville. Two boys on
Thursday were fishing in the Susque-
hanna river four miles below Danvile,
at place known as Cameron, and found
body floating in the stream. They
drew it to the shore, made it fast, and
then rowed to the opposite shore and
conferred with a justice of the peace,
and the three then returned to the spot
where they had left the body.
Word was sent to Mayor Nichols, of
WilkesBarre, and Burgess Fenner, of
Ashley, and Friedrich Brotherton took
the first train for Danyille. They ex-
amined the body and as far as they
could tell it is that of the missing boy.
Having been so long in the water it is
dreadfully decomposed and none of the
features are recognizable. The remains
of the clothing, however, are like those
worn by the little fellow, and Mr.
Brotherton feels almost certain the body
is that of his son.
1t is now alleged that Rocco, the Ital-
ian organ grinder, whom it is supposed
kidnapped the boy, will be rearrested on
suspicion of having either thrown him
into the river or disposed of him to
somebody who got rid of him in that
way.
The body on Friday was identified as
son of Joseph Andrzeieski, of Wilkes
Barre, who was drowned on Nav "a
while playing on some loose boards in
creek.
Mrs. Brotherton went to Danville and
was at first inclined to think it was her
son, but did not recognize any of the
clothing as his. Andrzejeski brought
pieces of cloth with him which cores
ponds exactly and also before seeing the
body described peculiarities which con-
vinced all that it was his son.

Frank Lester Ames created II senSa-
ton by his savage attack upon athletics

Thus saith the Waterville Mail in its
report of the orations Of the graduating
class of Colby University last week, but
we look in vain for anything that sayois
of Savagery in the Nails report of Mr.
Ames' Grafton. He does strike some
telling blows at base ball and foot ball
and we think brings some unanswerable
objections to them as means of physical
development Of students generally, and
his statement that base ball and foot
ball are excresences because they re-
quire abnormal exertion on he part of
few men and none from the large body
of Students is a hard one to get over or
around. In this we believe Mr.. Ames is
much more than half right and being a

by him.

Light in Texas.

Some two or three years ago young
man connected with prominent New
ork and Boston house went into the
sheep and stock business in Texas. In a
letter to friend under the date June ,,
he said:
We have been having pretty hard
row to hoe for the past two years. This
year especially has been very severe !;
everything has fallen off so much in
price that our valuations are very much
reduced. Two years ago a wool clip
brought us in nearly $4,000; to-day off
the same number of sheep brought us
$500. There is no possible chance to
dispose of any live stock to-day at any
price. Mutton sheep won't pay freight
