Yesterdays Ball Game.

The game of ball between the Tigers
and Fearnots here yesterday was a well
played contest, barring the the first in
ming. The score was to in favor of
the Fearnots when the game was stop
ped. In the first inning the Tigers were
suffering from severe case of 'rattles, >"
and three costly errors let in three runs.
After that they steadied down and played
a good game. The Fearnots did we'll all
through the game. Neither side, how
ever was able to do any batting.
The visitors battery was Pfrom, of
Hazleton, and McGeehan, of Drifton,
and the Tigers got but three hits off
Pfrom. He struck thirteen of them out
and gave six bases on balls. For the
Tigers, McGill, of the Stroudsburg nor
NAL team, and Gaffney were the battery,
and only one hit was made off McGill.
He pitched one of the prettiest games
seen here and played his position in
good style.
In the ending of the seventh inning a
ball was knocked to Shortstop Gillespie.
who thew it to first McFadden held
the ball for a moment, then it dropped
or rolled from his hands as the runner
crotsed the bag. Hugh Shovlin, the
umpire, declared the runner out, but
the decision, apparently, was not
satisfactory TO the friends of the Fear
nots and they demanded that their club
stop playing. The umpire stated that
he had given the decision to be what he
believed was just and right, and would
not reverse it to suit the visitors friends.
The Fearnots then left the grounds,
refusing to continue play, and Mr..
Shovlin awarded the game, to 0, to the
Tigers, according to the rules.

"Strong Boy" Knocked Out.

From the Wilkes Barre Leader
On Sunday evening at Parsons the
people wondered at the more than usual
number of carriages driven into town.
So many had come at last that the police
scented the fray that was to be, but an
odd hooter soon fixed that part of the
business all right. There was to be a
battle to finish and the principles were
Dan Conaghan, of Newtown, and
"Strong Boy" Jones, of Freeland The
principals, upon arriving in town, were
put to bed. 1t was a question for time
where the fight was to be. Odd Fellows
hall was the place chosen first, but the
plan was changed and the hall owned
by John D. Colvin rented. A twenty
four foot ring was made by chalking the
dimensions on the floor.
Conaghan's seconds were Patrick
Burke, John Lehman and Todd Walsh.
Jack Dempsey, Jim Doran and Hab
Morgan did the honors for Jones. Prof.
Barrett, of Philadelphia, was chosen
referee, and Patrick Cannon, of this city,
time keeper. When midnight came
some difficulty was experienced in arous-
ing the pugs. But they were gotten out
of bed at last, and the fight began.
The first round was display of fiddl-
ing, until clinch occurred as time was
called.
The second round decided the mill.
Conaghan forced the fighting and knock
ed Jones about right and left The blow
that keeled Jones oyer and fixed him so
that he could not come up to the scratch
was terrific right handler on the jaw.
Conaghan was as fresh at the finish as
when he began. There were $50 present
who came in at dollar head. The
fight was for the gate receipts. There
was lot of money changed hands and
Jones' hackers feel somewhat sore.

nate had better prepare themselves for
the coming of this political Nemesis.
Billy is on their track and they must be
prepared to tremble as they never trem-
bled before!
And the "horny listed son of toil''
will hail our William as deliverer.
For has he not been in office eyer since
he pulled his eye teeth? Has he not
stood up bravely at the public crib and
chewed his official hay without Interrupt
ton for 10 these many years? Has his
heart not bled buckets and buckets of
good red gore for the wrongs Of the dear
workingman? Has he not sued every
coal corporation in the valley several
times over for damages accruing from
accidents and has he not taken his sue
cessive defeats and his various attorney
fees with equal equanimity.
Has he not introduced bills enough in
the state legislature to make every
miner millionaire and poured after
them a flood of eloquence that swept
them out Of sight for ever? Does he not
plume himself upon being the author of
the night school law, which a Wilkes
Barre physician conceived and drew up
and which passed only with the assis-
tance of "that grinding monopolist," !"
Eckley B. Coke?
And when he left the capitol hill at
Harrisburg with all its wealth of unen-
acted measures for the relief of the dear
workingman behind and hied him to
Washington, what did he do? Did not
his gigantic brain think out a place by
which another grinding monopoly"
the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company,
would be brought to its metaphoric
knees?
Did this eminent statesman not intro
duce resolution to investigate the re-
cent strike on that road? Doubt it not,
ye enemies of this great and good man.
For if you but institute a search you
will find that resolution tucked away in
a committee pigeon hole, shining ex-
ample of patriotic and unselish states
manship!
Was he content with this great public
service? Oh, no, Patriots like VIM.
Henri Hines are never content with
anything short of the millennium. When
CoXey's army invaded Washington and
only trod on Mr.. Cleveland's grass,
Hines was Herewith his resolution.
He wanted $4,000 to set the army to
work, but hinty hearted congress
showed that resolution into the same
hole where reposed his Lehigh Valley
panacea.
When a statesman with such proud
record behind him asks for reelection
he should get tin the neck. Despite
his gigantic public services despite his
enduring love for the dear workingmen,
we fear us much that William Hines,
whether he runs up against Morgan B.
Williams or John Leisenring, will have
reason to sympathize with the Thanks
giving turkey that has been marked for
the slaughter.

SHALL Woman be Honored With the
Ballot Nowg' the subject Of a proposed
lecture here, is another evidence Of the
grave misconception many women, and
few men Of a certain class, have Of suf-
frage. Suffrage Is not an honor; it is a
privilege, a duty. Mrs. Stevenson, the
wife Of our Vice President, herself a
woman above the average In intel
llgence, culture and patriotism says
that the duties Of good woman's home
life, II properly attended to, impose bur-
dens which are enough TO occupy and
entertain the proper sort Of woman
She says truly that the duties of public
life, of politics, would impose additional
and unequal burdens upon her. As our
social and political systems are arranged
now men attend TO public duties,
the women to the home duties.
Neither men nor women do both without
encountering the difficulty or the i'm
possibility OF serving two masters.
The woman who "goes into politics
must neglect her home; the man who
takes charge Of the home duties spoils
the home aud makes an ass OF himself.
We do not care to apply any terms to
the women who clGmor TO assume the
duties Of political life. but every man Of
taste and feeling Is humiliated, If not
grieved, at the spectacle.
