three records In coal mining by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company. In all the years that the
company has been operating In this re-
gion there never has been such an out
put as during the month of October; on
no single day has there been as much
coal mined as there was yesterday, and
none OF the twenty Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western collleries has ever
hois'.ed In a single shift the number
of cars that came to the mouth of the
Storrs shaft during the eleven hours
following 6 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The only figures that could be given
were the number of cars hOisted yes
terday at the Storrs, which was 1918.
This Is also supposed to be the record
for the anthracite region and Is au-
thoritively stated to be the record for
the Lackawanna and Luzerne region.
j. c. Baumann Is the superintendent OF
this mine, and to him much Of the dis
tinction which goes with this record be-
longs.
While no one is yet able to give the
exact figures or a far estimate of the
amount of coal mined during the other
two record breaking periods above
mentioned assurance was given from an
authoritative source that there was not
the slightest douot of their accuracy.
In addition to all this the month OF
October beat all Others in the history
of the company in coal shipments, and
yesterday was one of the heaviest days
II not the very heaviest. in this same
regard fifty solid trains Of coal hav-
ing left the Scranton yard, between
o'clock Wednesday night and 8 O'Clock
last night. Miners have made twenty
eight and twenty-nine days and train
hands from thirty to thirty-e!ght dur
ing the month.
The falling market during the sum-
mer and the consequent delayed pur-
chases are responsible for this great
rush Of business. The drought In the

SHORE ACRES LAST NIGHT.

Has Lost None or It's Charm TOT scranton
Thcatcr.GocrS
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather and the large number Of social
events in the city last night "Shore
Acres" demonstrated it's great popular
ity with the masses by attracting a
large audience to the Academy of
Music. The peculiar charm of the
drama lies in it's wonderful character
delineation. They are the people of
real life. absolutely true to nature and
they speak lines such as ordinary NOR
tails might be expected to utter under
similar circumstances. Each charac-
ter is distinct type and fits exactly
into the story the playwright tells
There are no stilted speeches or appeals
to the gallery, but the dialogue Is per-
feet in it's way and it's humor Is spon-
taneous and native to the groups from
which it proceeds.
Archie Boyd, who achieved a great
success here in "The Old Homestead, :.
was seen with the company last night
as Uncle Nat and did an excellent bit of
natural acting. Ed j. Connolly was a
most amusing Joel Gates and the other
members of the company were almost
up to the standard of these clever ace
tors. "Shore Acres" will be seen at the
Academy again tomorrow night.

GREAT CONTEST EXPECTED.
Bicycle Club Eleven Expected to Play
Lchigh Here on Saturday.

Foot ball enthusiasts will have an OPP
portunity on Saturday afternoon to
witness a fine game between our local
players and a team from Lehigh uni
versity. A splendldcontest is assured as
the Bicycle boys are certainly putting up
gilt-edge foot ball. as is shown by their
recent victories over such strong teams
as lShamokin and their old-time rivals,
Wyoming seminary, whom they defeat
ed last Wednesday by the fine score OF
12-0.
BY their continual victories, which
have come only from hard practice
under the careful coaching of Captain
Welsh, the team are confident of their
ability to defeat the wearers of the
brown and white from South Bethle-
hem in the games on Saturday.
For the first time in years either In
base ball or foot ball, Scranton has at
last a representative team which can
more than hold its own on the field
with any team In this part of the state,
and this would indicate that a large
crowd would be out to greet the play
ers in the first game Scranton has
played on the home grounds for many
weeks.
A good game Is assured as the team
from the lower part of the state Is an
ticlpatlng a victory, but it seems GER
tain that they will be taken by sur
prise when they run up against our
strong eleven.

Indoor Base Ball VIII Tomorrow Night
Make Its Second Appearance.
The second game between clubs OF
the Scranton Indoor Base Ball league
will be played tomorrow night In the
Twelfth Regiment armory, on Adams
avenue, between the North Fad and
Central City clubs. .l5
The first league game was played in
st. Davfd's hall, on the West Side,
Wednesday night, and was won by the
South Side team by the score of 6 to
3. For several years indoor base ball
in the west has been the most popular
Of winter sports. 1t has gradually been
extending eastward, but has yet to Sc
cure permanency this side Of Ohio.
Wednesday nights game furnished
more sport and amusement than was
thought possible, and 1t was the opin-
ion Of spectators, competent to Judge,
that indoor base ball will make a de-
clded hit in Scranton.

FRANCHISE SALE TODAY.
Highest Bidder Will Get Scranton Base
Ball Association Property.

The Eastern league franchise and
other possessions of the Scranton Base
Ball association will be sold to the
highest bidder at sheriff's sale at 2
o'clock this afternoon at the Base Ball
park to satisfy Judgment amounting to
nearly $4,000 and held by seven direc-
tors. 1t is probable that the property
will be bid in by the association, as no
other local people have showed dis
position to buy at the price asked.
If bid in by the association 1t Is a
question whether an effort will be made
to resell to parties out of town or
whether the present owners will begin
anew in the Eastern league. In the
former event State league club would
be located in Scranton, but public senti-
ment Is so against such a course that
the franchise will be held or sold to To-
cal men. In either event Scranton
would remain in the Eastern league.

FIENDISH PLOT.
An Attempt Is Made 10 blow Up Church
at TuukhannOck.

Tunkhannock. Pa, Oct 31.-During
gospel services at the Bardwell Evan
tempt was made to blow up the church
and congregation with dynamite. There
was a crash. the lights went out. the
windows shook, the plaster came down
on the preacher, pulpit and congrega-
ton. the women screamed and tainted.
When order was restored 1t was found
that an attempt had been made to
wreck the church by the use Of dyna-
mite placed under one corner of the edi-
flee.
The motive Is ascribed to the bitter
warfare growing out Of the transfer Of
the church property from the Dubsite to
the Bowman-Esher people.
