materially increased thereby, although
the weather was perfect and other condi.
tions all that could be wished for. The at.
tendance was about G,OOO. Cloveand's
men are woefully put out at the result,
and the Baltimore contingent look very
glum when they talk about it. All hands
left for Cleveland today, and the Orioles
say there will bo but one game in that city

but the home players outdid themselves.
The game, however, was close until the
eighth inning, when four hits, an error
and some good base running, gave the
champions three runs and put the result
almost beyond doubt. The feature of the
game was the brilliant outfeld work Of
both teams, every man greedily accepting
all chances and making the plays in fine

Mckinley and Hobart will get upwards
of $4,000 majority at the state election.

Meadviue's Water Works Knocked out

PITTsBURG, Oct. 6-The supreme court
of Pennsylvania met for the October term
yesterday. Decisions were handed down
in 1l3 cases. An important decision is
made by Judge Dean in the suit of !. F.
White and others againsttho city of Mead
vile and others. In 1873 Meadville voted
against a public water works, and sub
sequently "A contract was made to supply
the town from a private concern. In 1893
the city refused to make payments on its
contracts on the ground that the ordi-
nance authorizing the contract was in
valid. In 1891 the city undertook the con-
struction of II water works of its own.
The private corporation took an appeal,
with the result that the supreme court
knocks out the plan of the city to build
its own works, and grants a perpetual in
junction restraining the construction of
the same.

THEY RAISED A BANNER
And Found Out That Their Birthday
Fell on the Same Day.

If there is a set of men who enjoy the
good things of this life, that set is the
locomotive engineers And two gen
tlemen of that set who made merry
yesterday and raised a 40 foot pole are
good representatives. They are no 9th
er than Messrs. James N. Branham of
sos East Sixth street and c. 3. Brewer
of 635 Jefferson street.
Yesterday was Mr.. Branham'S birth
day and he thought he could do moth
ing more appropriate BETTING the Oc-
casion than to erect pole and unfurl
in the breezeS an American flag and
a Bryan and SewaH streamer So he
told his old chum, Mr.. Brewer, about it
and the two went to the grove just east
Of Klein's grove and cut straight
hickory pole 40 feet in height.
Stripping off all the branches and
leaving a tassel of leaves at the sum
nit they planted it in the ground df-
Tectly in front of Mr.. Branham'S resi-
dence at sos East Sixth street. The nee
essary pulley was fastened to it, the
five foot flag purchased and the six
foot Bryan and SeWan streamer paint
ed and prepared for putting in posi-
ton.
The time set for the raising of the
emblens was 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and a few friends were invited
to participate. The two 'old cronies"
stood together arranging the hags
when Mr. Brewer said
"This is my birthday. Pretty appro-
pirate, isn't it?
birthday queried Mr.. Branham.
Yes was the answer. I was born
September II, 1913"
'4Wen, I'll declare. That is when I
was born. Yes, sir; well shake, old
man." And the two old friends shook
hands again and again. Then Mr.
Branham said:
H'WelI. to think that we two old fell
lows have rai1roaded together for II
years and didn't know that our birth
days came on the same day Shake
again, old boy
This was indeed a funny coincidence
and the two engineers enjoyed it i'm
mensely. Then the flags were fastened
to the rope and hOisted to the top of the
flag pole.
That's the stuff Don't that look
nice?' and Messrs. Branham and
Brewer cheered enthusiastically. The
wind unfurIed the flag and streamer 50
that it was easily distinguished. An
electric car man who was passing on a
car turned his head away as he went by
for he was a gold man.
Here. now, you viii have to look at
that as you pass by said Mr. Brewer.
