SOLDIERS WIN EASILY
GAME A Is TO VICTORY OVER
HONOLULUS.
Silence in the Bleachers Division -
Slow Ball But Not without Interest
Score and Standing.

While the ball game between the
Honolulus and First Regiment teams
on Saturday was one sided and { life
slow at times it was brim full of
amusing situations and interesting
features. An important feature was
the total absence of undue noise in
the grand stand. Capt. Parker was
there with a couple of braves from the
station house and the result was that
beautiful decorum was maintained.
Before the game was started it was
announced that Simerson would pitch
for the soldiers and Meek 70" the Ho-
Modulus. 1t became necessary TO change
this arrangement after few innings
had been played and Wood and Clarke
took the box for their respective sides.
Meek pleased his friends, considering
that he has not been on the diamond
for two years. Simerson proved a
strong twirer and will be a valuable
man in an emergency.

SOMETHING WORTH SEEING.

Have you seen the window Of J.
H. MERGERS drug store1 If not you
will be amply repaided by going to
see it. 1t is dressed to represent a
forest, with rocks, trees, moss SC, in
which are grouped two grey, and two
red foxes. They are in various atti-
tudes, one crouched on ledge of
rocks, as if resting after the pursuit of
the dogs, one crouching with a quail
in its mouth, and one standing on a
rock looking down upon a quail ready
to pounce upon it, whilst the fourth
one stands with ears erect, and foot
raised listening for the approaching
dogs.
The whole arrangement reflects a
great deal of credit to the artistic
skill of w. K. Armstrong. He is the
agent in this place for the taxidermist
who mounted the animals and will
cheerfully give any information on
this subject.

A FLOODED CELLAR.

Some time ago the sewer connect
ed with the Mrs. M. +. Ent building
became clogged and men were engag.
ed 10 dig up the pipe and repair the
trouble. Several openings were made
before the stoppage was discovered.
After the sewer was opened the earth
was replaced, but owing to the cold
weather, the ground froze and it was
impossible to put 1t back in com
pact form. Friday night this place
was visited by heavy rain, and a
large volume of water which naturally
would run down the alley between
Mrs. Ent's building and the Court
House, ran into a hole which had
been caused by the earth sinking
where the sewer had been repaired,
and following the pipe entered the
cellar under the Farmers National
Bank and from there into the cellar
under w. S. Rishton's drug store.
Saturday morning found about three
feet of water in the cellar and immedi-
fately steps were taken to remove the
same. The steamer was brought into
requisition and the water pumped out
when Mr.. Rishton discovered that
he had sustained a loss of several
hundred dollars.

Philadelphia, junior vice national
commander, and General Charles A..
Foster, of Wilmington, Del, chief
mastering officer, paid an official visit

Monday night. A rigid inspection
was made of the books and workings
Of the local organization, all of which
were found in such condition and
progressing so nicely as to meet with
the warm approval of the visiting in
spectors. After the encampment
transacted its routine business, ad-
dresses were made by Generals Ma
ginley and Foster on the principles of
the order, during which valuable sug-
gestions were given the local organi-
zation as to methods IN pushing their
work
After the session closed the men,
bers of the encampment escorted the
national commanders 20 the City
hotel where Peter Reidy had one of
his popular repasts prepared for them.
After the appetizing viands had been
partaken of with a relish betokening
a hearty appreciation of the edibles
and the excellent manner of their
preparation, remarks were made by
the State officers and the members
of encampment. The following are
the officers for the ensuing year;

LAST SUNDAY SERVICES,

The usual services were held in the
different churches last Sunday, all of
which were well attended. The Y.
M. {. A., service for men, was held
at the Reformed Church, and were
conducted by Rev. Henry A. Bonn
berger, pastor Of the Bethany Taber-
nacle, Philadelphia, who has been
holding services at this place every
evening during the present week. He
is forcible and eloquent speaker and
his address carries with it conviction.
He will also address the men at the
same place next Sunday afternoon at
the same hour.
The services at the Methodist
Church were unusually interesting.
The Sacrament and Love Feast were
largely attended. AT night the church
was crowded, many having to stand.
Fifteen penitents knelt at the altar,
the most of them professed conver-
sion. The meeting was of great
power The special revival services
will continue this week,
These special services have been
in progress for nine weeks, and dur
ing this time one hundred and twenty
hve persons have professed conversion.

At this time when the mad dog
scare is rampant it may not be out Of
place to give a remedy for hydropho-
bia. Prof. Noetling handed us the
following which he has carried for a
long time.
A German forest keeper, eighty
two years old, and not wishing to carry
the grave an important secret, has
published in the Leipsic Journal a
recipe he has used for fifty years, and
which, he says, has saved several men
and a great number of animals from
a horrible death by hydrophobia the
bite must be bathed as soon as posi-
BILE with warm vinegar and water, and
when this has dried, few drops of
muriatic acid poured upon the wound
will destroy the poison of the saliva
and relieve the patient from all pre-
sent and future danger.

CANNOT GUT DOWN TREES.
Telegraph Linemen Held for Wanton Des-
truction of Property.

Juege Endlich of Reading has over
ruled the motion for a new trial for
William Clark, Peter Fleisher and
Charles T. Kelly, employees of the
American Telephone & Telegraph
Company, who have been convicted
of cutting down shade trees at the
summer residence of DR.. John Mar
shall, near Douglasville. The Judge
holds that "the act of 1891 cannot be
regarded as comforting upon telegraph,
etc, companies any right to do wan
ton injury TO property-owner's trees,
such as the act of 1881 makes crimi-
nal, and therefore gives no protection
to their employees doing such injury at
their instance"
We call the attention of telephone
and telegraph workmen to the above
decision of Judge Endlich, because
there have been complaints made of
unnecessary cutting and defacing of
shade trees. Owners have rights and
they must be respected.

the roll of the different election dis.
tricts was called. +. +. Straub, of Con
yngham, was unanimously elected
chairman of the convention, and B.
d. Freas, Of Berwick, secretary.
In-as-much as the delegates from

G.. +. Wilbur read a resolution
eulogizing and indorsing the candi-
dacy of NJ. S. Quay for President.
Everything passed off smoothly, and
as per pre-arranged program, but
J. B. Robson evidently had it in for
some one, as he made motion tha,
hereafter thirty days notice be given
of the holding of delegate conven.
tions. He said that it was simply
machine business, it was all right
but if the people were to know abou
1t, a proper notice should be given

Discourage Mob Law.

1t is to the interest of every conf
munity to discourage mob law. Men
under the pressure of evil deeds dra-
matically done become at times tenn,
porarlly insane. Communities as well
as individuals go crazy and often do
deeds of folly. This tendency needs
restraining. If one man has done a
vile deed, it does not help the matter
for 10 or 20 men to do another
almost as bad. Law and order
should be respected Often our out
cry against the slowness of law is q
cry for vengeance. Let the courts
(and patience) have their perfect work
The recent actions of some of ouI
courts in prosecuting persons who
engage in mobbing are encouraged.
