A TROLLEY car ambulance is the latest

A TROLLEY car ambulance is the latest
thing. st. Louis has one, the car com
pany making arrangements for the SER
vice after the failure of the Legislature
to pass law providing for it. 1t is not
intended that the car should re-
place the regular ambulance for
emergency service, but it is to
be run on schedule time TO re.
lieve the emergency ambulance and
accommodate that large proportion of
hospital patients who are taken thence
from their homes. The new car con-
tains reclining chairs, stretchers and
surgical appliances, and is manned by a
surgeon aud trained nurse.

with the board of fire commissioners.
They Were positively rushed with busi-
ness aud it was fortunate that no emer-
gency arose to impose upon them
new and unexpected response
bilities on that day. Oae hre-
man was Investigated for violating
department rules and discharged from
the service and another fireman was
transferred from hook and ladder pla-
toon to an engine contingent. Between
times the commissioners took a hasty
lunch, the smoking of the after-lunc
cigars, however, being done at the post
of duty.
Incidentally we are overjoyed that
we have law that places the duties Of
dismissing and transferring members
of the department in the hands 81
so imposing an authority as
board Of fire commissioners.
What was, under former conditions, a
simple, not TO say innocuous function,
has now lent to it distinction and a
consequence that can but contribute III
"A marked degree to the dignity and inn
portance of the operation.
The board of fire commissioners are
making record fast. We warn them,
in the interest of their health, not to
overwork themselves. Better, far bet
ter, that the law which requires them
to be in Office should be fruitless OF
duties and barren of usefulness.

STATE LEAGUE.
ANTHRACITEs SHUT OUT.
Were No Match for the Champion Y. NJ
L. A. Team.

About 500 persons witnessed a fine
exhibition of base ball at the park yes
tetrday between the Young Mems
Christian association team Of this city
and the Anthracite club Of Moosic. The
Young Mems Christian Association
team demonstrated the fact that 1t can
be classed with any semi-professional
team in the state.
The game was a battle royal between
the opposing pitchers and was much
closer than Is shown by the detailed
score, Dean having slight advan-
tage, though not striking out as many
batters as did Lucky. Five Anthra-
cite batters were all that could reach
first base and only three of these were
able to hit this phenomenal young
twirler.
The feature of the game was Whites
stop of a hot grounder In the second
inning, after a desperatet dash. and
the batting Of Owens, this auburn
haired youngstetr making three hits,
with total Of four bases. For the
Anthracites O'Neil caught a magnif-
cent game and was a great help in
steadying Lucky at critical times.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
tiOn made four runs In the second in
ming by clean hard hitting. three In the
eighth and two In the ninth on a base
on balls to Brooks and two two-bag-
gers by Owens and Gillern. Score:

One and Lost Two to Toronto.
Providence Took Two.

Yesterday was Labor Day, but not
a holiday for National League clubs.
Two games in one day Is always
dreaded by professional ball players
and hence yesterday was Labor Day
in the strictest sense OF the term. The
Pennsylvania leaguers. Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. were the only ones OF
the twelve clubs that did not play a
couple of games. Baltimore broke even
with st. Louis. and her rival. Cleve-
land. was unfortunate enough to lose
two games to New York. At Washing
ton both games were played in the
afternoon, but all other teams played
morning and afternoon. The general
result is better for the reason that sew
eral clubs now have something to strive
for. New York has an opportunity to
revenge Worlds fair scores with Chi
cago. while Brooklyn and Philadelphia
are in a deadly heat for third position.
Scranton will long remember Labor
Day Of '96. One victory and two de-
feats Is her record In a foreign land.
Most Of the other clubs managed to win
half Of their games. with the exception
