The game Wednesday evening between
the Waverlys and Imperials was won by
the former with the narrow margin of
seven pins. The feature of the evening
was the elegant work of Silva who bowled
the large single OF 1873 and total of 505
which ought to be enough to win any
game. but his support was not up to the
teams usual standard. AS it was he
came very near winning out on the last
frame by the spare break he rolled beau
tifully for. and should have secured, as
he hit the pins right and only lost it by
the toughest kind of luck. Roberts has
proved to be tower of strength for
the Waverlys and his fine work is most
favorably commented on whenever he
rolls. He secured the fine total of $50.

The past week has seen some very In
teresting bowling at Pines alley. the race
for second place being decidedly close
between the Orients, Tontines and I'm
perials, the two first named being tied
and the Imperials only two games be-
hind. The game Tuesday evening be-
tween the CIsscents and Orients settled
the question of first place as the Cres-
cents by winning put themselves out of
reach of the other teams and can now
lose every game and hold their position.
The Orients made grand struggle in
the last string and put up the fine total
OF 480 but the Crescents also bowled and
were not far behind at 272 SO that the
lead they secured In the first two strings
gave them the game. Shaw was high
roller at 2s5. Waite and Dow close after
at 283 and $50 respectively, Fernald got
a flno single, ITO. The rolling Of Merri-
weather and Shaw probably saved the
game for the Crescents as they both
bowled very steady. The score: re.

TONTINEs.
The standing of the clubs follows:
NOTES.

The individual averages remain about
the same. Peterson being first at SO. Shaw
second at go, Silva third at 81, Pine and
MERRY Gather being tied at 80 with
several at SO and SO.
Silva is making grand bid for the
individual prize and has the best wishes
Of all the other bowlers for his success,
as he is certainly worthy of it.
1t is the wish of large majority of the
bow lers that the Bunter should be barred
from the game. "a
Blown of the Camp Columbus is one
easy and acourate aud he also has very
effective ball.
There is every indication that the crack
MCCARTHY team of Boston will shortly
visit this city and either bowl the Cres-
cents or strong picked team. Due
notice will be given if they conclude to
come.
Peterson has the hearty sympathy OF
the bowlers. and all regret his illness,
with the hope that he will soon join the
ranks aud keep up his fine work as in the
past.
Waite has been bowling very fine in all
his games and but for one or two streaks
of very hard luck would now be near the
top; but az 1t is he is still dangerous
competitor in the race.
The work of the Crescents to date is
simply phenomenal, but their steady roll
ing and cleaning up the alley from bad
breaks accounts for large majority OF
their we'll earned victories.

Death of Thomas w. McHugh. /.

Thomas w. MclIugh died at Hazleton
hospital at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
The young mans ailliction, of which
mention was made in previous issues,
had caused him untold suffering since
the 4th inst, and the operations which
he underwent in the hope of regaining
his normal health failed of their pur-
pose. He slowly sank until the hour
mentioned above, when death relieved
him of his agony.
Mr.. MclIugh was born in old Buck
Mountain and was son of the late Ed
ward MclIugh. When quite young his
family removed 80 Highland, where he
received thorough common school edu-
cation. He worked Il few years about
the mines, then entered the employ of
the Lehigh Valley Company as an opera
tor and rose to the position of station
agent at Jeddo.
He has been prominent figure in the
politics of Foster township since reach
ing manhood, and no one man has done
more to bring victory to the Democratic
party in local elections than Mr. Nc
Hugh. He was keen judge of human
nature and possessed qualities of leader
ship that required only the opportunities
To bring them forth. He served for six
years as director OF schools, and his
record on the board was such as might
be taken as standard by citizens who
are chosen to fill that office. Last Feb
rnary he was elected justice of the peace
OF the township, without opposition.
The deceased was aged 80 years, 6
months and 81 days. He leaves a wife
and six children, also his mother, three
brothers, James and John, Freeand,
and Charles F., Wilkesbarre, and two
sisters, Mrs. John c. Roach, Alden, and
Miss Mary, Freeland.
The funeral took place this morning
from his residence in Coke Addition.
A requiem mass was read over the re-
mains at st. AIMS church by Father
Mack. Interment was made in the
cemetery adjoining. The funeral cor
tege was lengthy one and was COM
posed of people from all walks of life.

The main store house of the Lchigh
Valley Railroad Company for the lower
divisions, located at Packerton, was de-
stroyed ty fire early Friday morning.
The loss will be very heavy, but the
otlicialsTdeclare it is nearly covered by
insurance. All the supplies stored in the
building were either wholly destroyed or
scorched in such Il manner us to render
them useless. Valuable drawings and
designs for castings, fitting, parts of loco
motives and cars where also burned, and
it will be difficult to duplicate many of
them. Other important and valuable
documents are in Il big safe that fell from
the second story and is now buried in
the debris. If these papers are de-
stroyed the company will suffer consid-
erably.
The flames were discovered about .
o'clock. They were in the second story
and had already gained such hcadway
that the fire fighting apparatus, which
was on the inside of the building, could
not be used.
The main building was frame struc-
ture five hundred feet long and u hun
dred feet wide and two stories high,
The origin of the fire is a mystery. The
loss is estimated at $780, 900.
