BASE BALL.

The home management is getting
strong aggregation of players to meet the
Harrisburgs The game will be a good
one
Secretary Woodoll Of the Virginia bas g
ball league, has waived all claims TO
Setley and the player may now sign and
play where he pleases. Setley pitched for
Allentown at Pottsville to-day.
Toman has received letter from the
Binghampton, n. Y, management that
unless he reports at that place at once he
will be arrested for accepting and retain
ing advance money. TOmau says he
never took the money from the telegraph
office.
Six carpenters and twenty-five labore' q
started early this morning to replace the
base ball grand stand which was DESTROYED
by fire yesterday. They will work until
midnight if necessary i'm order to have
the stand ready for the Harrisburg game
Tue new stand will be made of parts from
the stand at the trottiug track and will
be much larger than the old one.
The destruction of the grand stand at
the base ball grounds was undoubtedly
the act of an inCendiary. There was
nothing within or about the grounds
which could have set the place on fire and
somebody is responsible for an act which
cannot be viewed as eXcusable from any
standpoint. Some hot-headed crank has
been unable to withstand the temptation
to resort to the torch
The Lock Haven base ball club is in
financial straits, says the Lock Haven
Democrat. Some of the players have not
received their pay for a month. Manager
McNerney says that the gate receipts
have not been sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the club, which are between
5000 and 500 a month. A meeting of the
manager and players was held and the
situation gone over. The unpaid players
gave notice that unless their salaries
were forthcoming they would not play
any longer. Manager McNerney replied
that he could not, and would not, 20 down
into his pocket to make up the balance
The propriety of organizing stock com
pany was then discussed, but no definite
conclusion was reached.

Two Men Meet Their Deaths
and One Injured.
WHO TIE VICTIMS WERE
One of the Men Crushed Between Shaft
Tlmbers and a Cage-The other Killed
by Fall of Rock-A Third Loses One
of His Eyes,

There were three accidents in the mines
last night, two Of which were fatal and
the three victims were residents of this
town. One Of the dead men was crushed
in the shaft of Maple Hill colliery and
the other was killed in the same mine by
fall of rock
The man who met his death in the shaft
was John PunkawiCZ, q single man who
boards in one of the houses of Lambs
row in the First ward. Mine Inspector
Stein was seen late last night, but said he
had not been notified of the case and knew
nothing of it.
From information CLEANED at other
sources it was learned that Punkawicz
hurried to the bottom Of the shaft after
finishing his days work and was the last
man to get on the Gag Punkawicz's S
rush bewildered the bottom man, who
| said there were more than ten men on the
cage and pulled the miner back but
| the next moment he found that Punka-
wtcz was only the tenth man and pushed
him upon the cage, which commenced to
ascend and almost Immediately the un-
fortunate miner was caught between the
cage and shaft timbers and crushed to
death, the body falling into the sump.
The case will be made subject of
investigation.
The second man killed was Stiney
Korch, a resident of West Coal street.
He was employed as a miner in a gang
way of Maple Hill colliery and at a late
hour last night was instantly killed by IA
fall of rock. The remains were removed
to the boarding house of the deceased at
two o'clock this morning. Korch was
thirty three years of age and has wife
and two children in Poland
Stiney Whitowicz was the man injured.
This accident occurred in the Ellengowan
mine. A piece of coal from a premature
blast struck the man in the right eye,
completely destroying it. A piece of coal
almost half an inch square wedged itself
in the eye socket and was removed with
difficulty.

The R,ngtown Railway.

The surveyors of the proposed electric
railway to Ringtown from Shenandoah
will probably finish their work to-day and
be ready to report to the parties interested
on Monday. After that the work of
organizing a company and SUBMIT
ing plans for the road will proceed.
A charter for the company will be applied
sor on Tuesday or Wednesday. Consider
able interest is manifested here ever the
project and If it gets a good start lots in
the valley will be bought up in large
numbers. From current discussions it
seems safe to predict that il the construc-
tion of the road becomes a certainty at
least one hundred dwellings will be built
along the route this year. Shenandoah
people are clamoring for more and better
dwellings than can be secured in the town
and more breathing space and this cleo
tric line will put these things within
their reach.

Making NIensnremenis.

A special car used by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company in guaging the width
of tracks and heighth of bridges along
the cOmpany's line was in use on the
local branch yesterday with a corps OF
civil engineers. A test of the track lead
ing from the limerick street switch to the
rear of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was
made and it is said change will be
necessary, as the Shenandoah Feed and
Lumber Companys fence is too close to
the track. Measurements were also taken
for the proposed electric railway bridge
at Oak street

FOUL TRBACHERY,
Startling Stories Of Mrs. Heck and hs-
Paramour


Paramour.
The case of Mrs. Peter Heck, Of Green
Ridge, near Mt. Carmel, and james
Dunstan, Of Shamokin, is creating wide
spread attention and If one half the stories
told are true the couple come as near to
being brutes in human form as have
attracted public notice for some time
Mrs Heck deserted her family at Mt.
Carmel some weeks ago and eloped
with Dunstan, but few days later the
latter returned to his family at Shamokin.
The Heck woman is still missing but is
said to be in Williamsport. She took all
the money her husband had saved, about
two hundred dollars, and in addition to
being penniless the husband has lost hi-
work. so that the two small children of
the family, aged five and seven years, are
not only suffering for the want OF a
mothers care but are actually starving.
Their privations have brought on sickness
and the neighbors say the children will
die. Dunstan, it is said is now attracting
the attention of the Shamokin people by
maltreating his wife.

FIRST TRANSATLANTIC STEAMER,
She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.

She Was an American Vessel Using Both
Sails and Steam.
The first steamer to cross the Atlantic
was an American vessel called the Sa-
vannah. She was steamship, and used
both sails and steam, and was built by
Crocker & Pickett at Corlear's Hook in
New York city The present belief is
that she was built by party Of capital
lists who intended to sell her to some
foreign monarch She was commanded
by Captain Moses Rogers and was
ship rugged vessel Of nearly 400 tons.
She had a horizontal engine, which was
placed between her decks, and her boil
ers were in the lower hold.
It is generally admitted that the Sa-
vannah sailed from New York in 1919,
going to Savannah, her namesake, in
seven days, four Of which she used
steam. There she was chartered by the
city corporation to go to Charleston to
take President Monroe, who was then
travelling through the states on pleas
ure excursion He failed to accept the
invitation, and the boat returned to Sa-
for some days and taking out parties
Of curiosity as well as pleasure seekers
the Savannah sailed for Liverpool,
reaching it after a voyage of IS days,
seven Of which were made under steam.
The arrival Of the strange looking YES
sci, with huge clouds of smoke ascend
ing from her decks and obscuring her rig
ging, caused quite commotion when
she entered st. Georges channel off
the city Of Cork, and the commander OF
the British an-ofwar lying in the
harbor thought she was vessel in dis
tress and sent two cutters to board her
Everything found all right, however,
cn her way, and thousands OF people
greeted her as she steamed up the Mer-
sey to Liverpool with the American
flag flying at her head. The Savannah
then made a trip to Copenhagen, Cron-
stadt and st. Petersburg and then re-
turned to this country, where she was
relieved of her steam apparatus and
for many years ran az packet between
New York and Savannah, finally going
ashore and breaking up on Long Island.
The Savannah was of course, side
wheeler. and as it was impossible to
carry sufficient supply Of fuel in her
to keep up steam OH q long voyage her
wheels were removed during good sail
ing weather and canvas substituted.
| The king Of Sweden wanted to buy the
boat when it was abroad, but the deal
went through Now, those are the facts
about the first steamship that ever cross
ed the Atlantic ocean. Washington
