1T WAS HARD LUCK.
We Go Down Before the Ailisntors. hnt II
Was a Glorious Defeat - Ono of the
Hardest Fought Games OF the Season.

A score or more OF NllkeS-Blrfe auC-
ton criers came up from the Alligator
City yesterday afternoon to, solve the
season for their clubs nine zero marks
of Monday. Until the game ended and
Wilkes-Barre had won by the shallow
margin of one tally they were sorry
that they came. The contest was so
well balanced that even the cruel heart
of the bleacher was lodged behind his
Adam's-apple during the game.
Delaney's left leg was as timber as
ever, but his cap was not as usual over
one eye. That really didn't have any
thing to do with Ders Clay AVENUE
pitching. but 1t may have hoodooed the
struggle Delaney pitched for his life
and pitched well. but if ever a body Of
ball tossers played in downright mean
hard luck. it was that self-same Scran-
ton club yesterday.
The record of the game from any
standpoint shows that we batted and
fielded in star spangled banner style.
Whatever advantage Wilkes-Barre
may have had in one more base on hits
and fewer errors, was more than COM
pensated for by Delaney's pitching
The reason for the defeat is luck. 1t is
the first time the hackneyed excuse
has been sung in on an unsuspecting
public this season in defence of the
club, but, in the language of the gam
ins, 1T goes this time"
Why Scranton Didn't Score.
In four of the six innings in which
Scranton failed to score. men were on
bases and the ball was hit for kingdom
come, but in each instance it landed
into the outstretched ham of a Wilkes
Barre fielder or baseman.
Delaney struck out five different
batsmen and did not allow a walk to
first Belts purposely let himself be hit
by slow, drop ball. Such a record has
not been exceeded in the league this
season. Campield sent three to first
on balls and had one strikeout to his
credit. The hits We're even and the
firsts on errors were even, but on the
bases the Alligators had a shade the
long end OF It.
Scranton went first to bat. Ward
went out from McMahon to Earle.
Radford made a single, reached Sec
ond on Sweeney's out from Smith to
Earle and made a clean steal Of third
Stearns went to first on balls and on
Diggins attempt to throw him out on n
steal for second Radford scored.
S:sarns, however. was put out by Earle
on Diggins' quick return to Shannon.
A two-bagger by Lyttle and errors by
Ward and Radford scored Wilkes
Barre an unearned run in the last
half. Score IL.
Wilkes-Barre tailed one in the third.
Belts was hit by pitched ball and
came in on Lezotte's triple. Score, 1-2.
That Large Fifth Inning
In the fifth Scranton made three tai
lies and lead of two runs. Delaney
and Ward made singles and scored on
Stearn's double. Score, 40. In the
same inning Wtlkes-Barre made four
runs. Campbell made o single and
Shannon a two-bagger and each scored
on Belts single. a single by Lezotte,
Earle's force hit and stolen base and a
single by Diggins brought in two more
tallies. Score, as.
In the ninth Clark madesa double and
came IN on like offense by Johnson.

 Picayune).
 Sir Robert Peel's projected marriage with Mrs. Langtry, which constituted the main object that she had in view in insti- tuting divorce proceedings in this coun- try against her husband, has now been broken off, and the bitter feelings that now prevail between the whilom so de- voted couple are apparent from the fact that after, with great difficulty, Sir Rob- ert had managed to get his wealthy German brother-in-law, Baron von der Heydt to advance the $50000 requisite to enable him to compound with his creditors at the rate of 50 cents on the $1 Uhese being the only terms on which he could obtain his discharge from the bankruptcy courD Mrs. Lantry stepped in with a claim to the tune of $25,O00. This almost upset the entire arrange ment, since it involved a fresh appeal on the part of Sir Robert to his brother in-law. who reluctantly consented to give another S15.000, thus nabling Mrs. Lang trys claim 10 be included among those of other creditors. It is needless to say that the mere demand for the money by no means constituted the only harm done to Sir Robert by Mrs. Langtry's thus giving publicity to his indebtedness to her for 1t has merely served to confirm rumors current some time ago. to the effect that he was living at her expense, and that 1t was she who supplied his funds, about the most contemptible situ- aticn that can be conceived for a man to place himself in.
 What the precise causes Of the rupture between Sir Robert and the actress are Jt is difficult 10 say. Perhaps he has some other matrimonial project in view that would contribute more to redeemng his very stormy past than marriage with the dean of Jerseys daughter At any rate she has a new titled swain in tow in the person of the premier earl of the realm. Lord Shrewsbury and Talbot The latter has become her racing part her. and the two are inseparable, alike in Newmarket, London and in Paris whither they proceeded the other day by special train and boat. after winning close upon s100,000 by the victory of one of their horses at Newmarket.
 Whatever Mrs Langtry's merits as an actress. there is no doubt that she has played a more important part in the social history of the latter half of the Victorian reign than any other footlight favorite. 1nnumerable are the matri- monial engagements that she has by her

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
noarda Of Arbitration.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
While the United States House OF
Representatives was engaged in passing
a bill to establish system OF arbitration
for carriers engaged in inter state com
merce the New Jersey House was doing
it's best to repeal law providing for an
arbitration board. II was charged that
the membars OF this board had collected
about $3. 500 year each on account Of
services which were valueless that one
Of them had collected $500 for mileage,
though he was riding on free passes; that
the money was spent IN riotous living,
and that the board served no other pur.
pose than to give $40 a day to men who
had heretofore been earniag about
$40 a week. The repeating bill was
passed by a very large majority. The
bill passed at Washington appears to be
unobjectionable The commissioner Of
labor and the chairman of the Inter State
Commerce Commission are to try to con-
ciliate the parties In interest when
disputes respecting wages, hours Of
work, etc arise between common
carriers engaged in inter state commerce
and their employees Failing in that they
are TO endeavor to bring about arbitration
by arbltrators chosen by the respective
disputants, the arhitiators thus named
to select third member Of the board.
