BASE BALL POINTS.

The two first and the two last innings
in the game here yesterday were inter-
esting, but the remainder of the time
of play was passed in a listless manner.
The Wilkes-Barre club was unable to hit
Welsh to any extent, and the Tigers
could not do much with Franks curves.
1t was pitchers battle all through and
honors were about evenly divided. The
home team scored its first run in the
second, which was followed by three for
Wilkes-Barre in the same inning. The
fourth brought the Tigers three more and
another in the fifth made their score
five. Wilkes-Barre got one more in the
eighth, but were unable to add any
more to their credit, and went home
defeated 5 to T.
a number of errors were made, but
these were Offset by sharp fielding and
good playing afterward The rally that
the visitors took in the eighth inning
made the game exciting, and again in
the ninth they would have tied the score
but for the sharp work of the Tigers.
With runner on second the ball was
hit hard to right field and for an instant
1t looked as if the score would be tied
and the game probably lost, but Brislin
started for the ball and made one of the
prettiest fly catches seen in the park this
season, retiring the side.
The second game between the Fear
nots and the Hazleton Athletics was
played yesterday on the formers
grounds, and was won easily by the
Drifton boys. The score was II to s.
The Fearnots expect to play the Silver
Brook club at Drifton on Sunday next.
The Tigers have four games won and
one lost.
The game on the morning of the Fourth
at the park between the Tigers and Fear
nots promises to be an exciting one.
The Tigers won their last game against
this club by narrow margin, and as
both teams have been strengthened and
had considerable practice since, the
game will be stubbornly contested. Play
will commence at 10 a. m.

POPULAR CAPE MAY.



Historically, and in point of natural
advantages and attractiveness Cane
May is the most important seaside re.
sort in the United States. Its career as
a sanitarium and pleasuring place dates
back to the closing years of the last cen
tury, and until a comparatively recent
period, it was virtually without a rival
even Long Branch, in its palmiest days
conceded its superior prestige. For
many decades prior to the civil war it
was regarded the summer capital of the
nation, and upon its broad beach were
gathered each summer the great political
and social notabilities of the country,
the intellect and the beauty of the
north and the south. In the more i'm
mediate past it has been comparatively
unheard of, fact due partially to the
inherent conservatism which has always
distinguished it, but more largely to the
distraction of popular attention to newer
and more vociferously doomed" resorts
along the coast.
Now, however, it is believed that Cape
May is about to resume its ancient pres
tlge and reassert its proud eminence
among seaside watering places. This
revlvlfication of the grand old resort is

creased and improved railway facilities
which will be supplied by the new
South Jersey Railroad, recently com
pleted, and we way expect to hear a
great deal of Cape May during the
summer.
The South Jersey Railroad extends
from Winslow Junction, on the Reading
Railroads Atlantic City line, to Cape
May, with branches to Sea Isle CITY,
Ocean City, Avalon, Wildwood and
other resorts. 1t has been in operation
to Sea Isle City for nearly year. and
was opened to Cape May on Saturday,
June %, the remaining points to be
reached later in the year. The new line
to Cape May is described as 'tstraight as
a string and as level as table" substan-
TALLY constructed with a view to the
highest speeds, and materially shorter
than any other road to the Cape. The
equipment is all new Hard coal loco
motives of the speediest type, and cars
OF novel and remarkably elegant con
struction, will compose the flying ex-
press trains, and it is promised that
very considerable shortening of time
VIII be effected. The Philadelphia sta
tions of the new road are the Reading
Railroad ferries, at Chestnut street and
South street wharyes, and through tick
cts to Cape May by the South Jersey
Railroad route will be sold at the princi-
pal stations of the Reading, Baltimore
and ONO, and New Jersey Central
Railroads.

DEATH In A NINE HOLE.
SAD FATE OF a YOUNG MAN WHO
WENT BATHING.

Unable to Swim, James Mellon Was
Drowned in Cave-in at No. slope,
Woodside, on Saturday-Went Down in
Sight of His Companions.
A sad drowning accident occurred on
Saturday afternoon at o'clock in a
large mine hole at No. 4 Woodside.
With three or four companions James
Mellon, a well-known young man of the
Points, went bathing in the cave-in. 1t
was the first time he had been in the
water at that place, and was very timid.
Being assured that there was no great
danger he ventured in, but after walking
about short time he suddenly found
himself in deep water.
In his struggles he grasped his cousin,
John Johnson, but the latter was unable
to assist him, and to save himself he
had to leave his friend and swim to the
shore, which he reached utterly ex-
hausted. Mellon Immediately sank, and
after remaining under water for about
minute, he rose again for an instant.
The others who were swimming could
not reach him before he went down the
second time. Although they waited near
where he sank for some time he did not
come to the surface again, and then help
was summoned from Freeland to recover
the body
Several large hooks were procured,
and willing friends began the work of
dragging the dam. The bottom of the
hole was filed with roots, logs and other
debris, which interferred with the work,
and it was nearly o'clock that evening
wien one of the hooks raised up the
lifoless body. He was Immediately
taken to the residence of Daniel Boner,
with whom he resided.
The mine hole in which the accident
occurred is a very dangerous spot, and
several narrow escapes from death have
occurred in it the past three years. 1t
ranges in depth from eight to twenty
feet, and only in very few places can
one stand in less than five feet of water.
- A'Hj 'AphSNNA' bVtli popular Ddltl-
ing place for several people, and was
known as 'Buzzards' Bay" 1t is about
fifty yards long and twenty in width,
and is situated short distance from st.
AIMS church, near the road leading
to Upper Lehigh and Drifton,
The young man who met such a sud-
den death there on Saturday was highly
respected. He was a son of John Mel
lon, who at present is at the Soldiers
Home at Roanoke, Va, and brother of
Mrs. Daniel Boner, of the Points, and
Thomas Mellon, of Wilkes Barre. His
mother and brother John have died
within the past three years. He was
aged Is years. The funeral takes place
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment
at ST. AIMS cemetery.

Dead Fish in the SchuylkilI.

The presence of hundreds of dead carp,
bass, suckers and other fish floating
down the Schuylkill river causes consider
able excitement among fishermen. The
wholesale destruction of fish is attributed
by many to pumping out old mines at
the head waters of the Schuylkill, while
others believe that the heavy rains stirr-
ed up the coal and culm brought there
by the freshet and poisoned the fish.
