Mif- Charged.

Mrs. Sarah Hoffman, residing at the
flats at the west end of Coal street, was
before Justice Cardin last night charged
with adultery by her husband John. The
act was alleged to have been committed
alleged that Saturday last he was arrested
on a charge of nuisance and malicious
mischief ON complaint of his wife. After
spending a night in the lookup he paid
the costs and was discharged. Upon re
turning to his home he made discovery
which caused him to charge his wife and
he caused her arrest. The husband sum
moned nine witnesses to testify to the
conduct of his wife while he was in the
lookup. Mrs. Hoffman denied the charge,
but the evidence against her was of such
a character that Justice Cardiu put her
under bail for trial at court.

WILL tT COZ
The Looal Base Bali Enthusiasts Beginning
to Move.


During the past few days some Of the
local admirers Of that greatest of all
American sports, base ball, have become
interested in the question as to whether
or not Shenandoah is to be represented on
the diamond this season.
There is no doubt that strong desire
for a club exists, but the want of proper
grounds is the stumbling block. The old
grounds ON the dirt bank east of town is
still there, but the fence is not, and with
out the latter there may as well be no
grounds, so far as good base ball is CON
cerned, for that kind of an article cannot
be furnished without gate money. The
fence which did service last season dis
appeared, board by board, during the
winter months and many weeks since
found its way up scores of different
chimneys with the rest of the smoke.
To put the old grounds in condition will
entail an expenditure Of about three hun
dred dollars, and the great question is who
will stand this outlay? Mike Heifron, the
old time base ball player and manager,
to whose enterprise the revival of the
game in town last season was principally
due says he will cooperate in a move
ment to rebuild the fence and put the
grounds in condition, but cannot afford
to take the whole responsibility.
1t has been suggested that an organiza-
tion be effected and a committee appointed
to confer with the Lakeside Electric
Railway Company with a view to ascer-
tanning what that company will do in
connection with the matter Should base
ball be revived here the company will
undoubtedly derive considerable benefit
from it in the shape of fares and, conse-
quently, should interest itself in
revival of the sport.
If the railway company will assume
portion of the expense for rebuilding
the fence it is more than likely base ball
will soon take boom here and a club
will be ready to meet all comers by the
time the railway is ready for operation.
There is not the slightest doubt that
base bali can be made to pay handsomely
this season with cooperation of the
electric railway company. The greatest
drawback of the past has been the long
walk from town and the mountain climb
ing to get to the grounds, but in spite
of this last years management
cleared good sum. This year
there will be no drawback so far as travel
to the grounds is concerned, as the electric
railway will be in operation after May
first and its cars will pass within few
hundred yards of the northeast corner of
the grounds, cutting off the mountain
climbing and leaving passengers at n
roadway that leads with easy grade
almost to the grand stand.
If anything is to be DONE now is the
time start should be made. 1t will take
at least a month to get the grounds and
club ready for a campaign.
One of the gentlemen who have been
calculating on the expense and the prob
able gate receipts, says that if the first
game of the season is arranged with
good outside club and properly advertised
the expense incurred in getting the
grounds in order will be cleared 10y the
receipts at that game.

A large number of Hungarian mine en-
ployes who drew their pay on Saturday
kept Tax Collector Scaulan busy yester-
day, and despite that officials vigilance
many Of them got away without paving
their taxes. Nine of them walked over
the mountain to the Catawissa Valley
an early hour in the morning and at
boarded Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad train at Krebs' station.
Another party of men walked to Barrys
junction on the Irhigb Valley railroad
and later in the day friends tried to send
the trunks after them, but in this case
Collector Seaman was on deck and held
the trunks for the taxes. Constable
Boland caught six men as they were
about to get on the a. m. Pennsylvania
railroad train yesterday morning. Nearly
all of these men went to Johnstowu.
Collector Scanlan has discovered a new
dodge some OF these people nave for get
ting away without paying taxes Five or
six will get on the train as soon as it ar
rives at the depot and beard it so that
they are not seen, leaving one of their
number on the station platform. If ap-
preached by the Tax Collector the latter
will exhibit a mileage book and say, "Oh,
yes; me come back but when he gets on
the train he pays the fares for the whole
party out of the book and does not come
back.

Brennan and His Relatives in
Dangerous Conflict.
KNIFE WAS FREELY USED
Struck Hts wife and Sister-Iu-Law and
when he Was Chased he Drew a Knife
and Used it on Two Men-None of the
Injuries Dangerous

James Brennan, of Brownsville, had a
lively time on Sunday which resulted
with serious effect to members of his
family. 1t seems that Brennan INDUCED
too freely in drink on Saturday night
after receiving his pay and was not in the
best of humor on Sunday He quarreled
with his wife and struck her.
Mrs. Hope, sister of Mrs Brennan,
happened to be near at the time and
interfered Brennan struck her, too,
when Mrs. Hopes husband arrived upon
the scene and was also attacked by
Brennan.
After striking Hope, Brennan ran from
the house and was followed by his victim
The chase was a hot one and Brennan
was being rapidly run down, when he
drew knife Hope was on a fast run and
could not stop in time to avoid a lunge
which Brennan made at him and the
blade of the knife struck him in the ribs
Fortunately the blow was not well di-
rected and the injury was nothing more
serious than a scratch. IL was sufficient
to trighten Hope, however, and he with
drew.
Hopes brother then rushed forth and
essayed to battle with and disarm Brpn-
nan, but he, too, suffered. lie got hold Of
the blade of the knife and as Brennan
drew it through his hand it almost severed
one of his fingers. This injury was a seri.
Gus one and the attendance of Dr. Spald-
ing was required The battle ended here
and Brennan was allowed to cool down
and repent at his leisure There has been
no arrest.
