EXCITING GAME OF POOL.
Sent Robert Anderson Into n Fit in
sam .JOhnsOn'S Place.

Men have been known to go insane
over religion and horse racing, but
when an ordinary game of pool sends
the player into an epileptic fit that
game must of a certainty be exciting.
Seventeen year old Robert Anderson
Is now i'm the medical ward of the
backawanna hospital weak, speech
less but out of danger.
This young man dropped i'm a fit yes
terday afternoon while engaged i'm
game at Sam Johnson's pool room in
Centre street Sam is a gentleman Of
color and he keeps the only pool room
in the "half-acIc.'
There vas a good crowd in the pool
room yesterday when Anderson fell
under the table. The Young man was
playing a desperate game at pool with
RastuS Jones another youth. Vt was
an exciting game, chuck full Of
silonc" ana good shooting. The crowd
looked on with a great show Of inter-
est. Jones shot a bah i'm n corner pOCk-
ct under the gas light; Anderson
banked and sent one Whcciu in the
side. The score stood seven to seven
and ther" was ON" bail on the table. II
was AnderSon's shot
But the ban remained where it was
The strain was too great. At the criti-
cal moment Anderson fell to the floor,
writhing about i'm agony.
The crowd circlcd about him: some
held his hands, others his feet, ana still
others made enough noise outside to
attract more people. Patrolman Sartor
was one Of these. He reached the pool
room on Il run. Seeing that Anderson
needed medical assistance. Patrolman
Sartor tolephon"d for the Lackawanna
hospita! ambulance When the police
man returned to the pool room Ander-
son was reVivinC somewhat.
The first sign of returning senses was
when Anderson opened his mouth and
sang My Mother Was Lady"
Patrolman SartOr thought that was a
hopeful sign. SO he left
At the Lackawanna hospital last
night Anderson had fully recovered
from the fit, but he is a very much ex-
hausted young man.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.

Attorney \. V. Bower, the chairman
of the band. made his November report
which contained the following: AS a
result of the work there has been
noticeable increase at the Sunday
afternoon gospel meetings and a cor
responding increase in interest. Dur
ing October the average attendance
was 1Ol and i'm November 1874. These
were two particularly interestingly
ings. one was known as Institute
Sunday ana was conducted by w. T..
Plumley who has been appointed chap
lain Of the John Raymond Institute.
The other was held November IA when
Rev DR.. Crafts gave his illustrated
lecture Before the Lost Arts" de-
scribed as one of the most helpful aids
of faith of the year.
General Secretary Mahy called on the
members Of the band for personal re-
ports which were given verbally and
afterward handed in. writing to the
secretary.
Mr.. Harvey's talk was ON Personal
Work" He said a Christian worker
might always he sure of divine guild
ance into the right kind of work if he
would fully surrender his will for SER
vice. When Christian worker used
the word of God in conversation with
men he could be assured that the word
would accomplish results for God In
support of this claim Mr.. Harvey
quoted freely from the Scripture. He
gave number of illustrations, using
incidents in his work as college state
secretary.
TRAINING FOR CHRISTIAN WORK.
Mr.. Hurlburt offered these sugges-
tions: First, worker should look on
the needs of men and see them as He
| looked and saw them second. a work
cr should carry men on his heart as
did Christ; third, worker should
work for men as Christ did, even un-
der great hardship.

The Sham Battle.

Fully a Thousand people gathered on the
bench Thursday morning to witness the
sham battle by the Tenth cavalry. Some
time was required in forting in the camp
but the crowd waited pasiently. Soon
the white-coated troopers, beautifully
mounted, started down Fifth avenue on a
gallop until they reached Main Street
which they asscended and passed across
the bench in front of George Cooks resi-
dence. On they went up the hill. their
bright sabres cleaning in the sunlight. At
the crest. they stopped and soon a picket
line was formed in Staiford's field. At
this time the defending troops mounted
on fine chargers. the majority Of them be-
ing black like their riders, appeared upon
the bench from the camp below and
charged across the open field to meet the
invaders. The sight was q beautiful and
inspiring one. The forces on either side
divided into squads and there was rapid
firing from all quarters of the field.
Slaughter house gulch (properly named)
being the center OF the engagement for a
spell, finally changing to a point in the
revene just this eide OF the c~emetary. Dur
ing the field engagement the picket line de-
Tending the camp. kept up a continuous
fusilade upon the enemy. Finally the
opposing forces formed on the bench for a
a grand charge troops coming together
in q sabre contest terminating in the white
coats putting the Others to flight and cap.
turing the camp.
The fierce rays OF the sun and the great
clouds OF dust added much in making the
scene realistic. No serious accidents re-
suited from the many onslaughts, though
one or two riders were dismounted. An
ambulance was on the scene and orderlies
crossed and recrossed the field as il bear
ing important messages. Lieut.. johnson
commanded the attacking column and
Lieut.. Shipp the camp. The sham battle
will long be remembered.

The London Spectator Believes Ensiismes
WIN Uphold the United States In .
Vigorous Caban Policy.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The Spectator
accepts as a fact the report that the
United States has admonished Spain,
finds it difficult to think that war
can be avoided, adding: Apart
from that pride and ignorance of con-
sequences which will bid Spain to
defy the United States, war is prob
ably considered to be the best way
out Of the difficulties.
"Were the govern to propose the
abandonment of Cuba in cold blood,
it would simply mean the handing
over of the country to Don Carlos,
SO the government proposes to en-
ploy America, as a surgeon, to do
the necessary amputation, which
will alone prevent the Cuban gan
CREME from spreading to the rest OF
the body polite"
After detailing SPANS iniquities In
Cuba, the Spectators continues:
ITO prolong the war would be a
crime, and if America chooses to
stop these hideOus cruelties, all En-
gland should applaud and refuse to
inquire too narrowly into the reasons
which influence her statesmen in put
ting pressure upon Spain"

BY ONE SCORE ONLY.
Benton Ball Team Wins the First
Game by q Scratch.

Had the Lewistown nine been in
condition for yesterdays game the
Benton team would have been badly
beaten, but the playing of the home
team in the first five innings was
simply atrocious. Goslin, the Benton
pitcher, was ''easy" but nevertheless
several of the Reds were struck out,
notably Lumsden and Brown. Costly
errors were frequent and Mcclure
who pitched for the home team, wal
wild, several men being given bases
on balls and struck by pitched balls.
The game opened with fair playing
on both sides, but when at the end OF
the Fifth inning the score stood IA to
/ in favor of the Bentons, a majority
of the crowd left the grounds in dis
gust, preferring q warn dinner to
witnessing a poor exhibition Of ball
playing.
The umpire, Thaxter, of Highwood,
also appeared to favor the Benton
boys, and disputes between captains
and also between players became al.
together too frequent. In the Fifth
inning an encounter took place Oh
third base between Buser and HUM.
burger, which threatened to trans.
form a ball game into a prize fight,
but cooler heads prevailed and the
game proceeded. Charges OF ''spik.
ing were made by the latter.
After the sixth inning the Benton's
were held down, while the home team
began making up for lost time and
the game closed with the LewistOwn
team but one score behind.

Yesterday morning according
to the programme the officers
of the Tenth Cavalry gave a
polo game on the bench above
the Stiles residence The game
very much resembles the shinney
or hochey familiar to most of us in
our boyhood days. Two bounds
are set and the players endeavor
to drive the ball beyond one or the
other of said bounds. The game
was well played and interesting.
The ponies were well trained and
seemed to enter into the spirit of
of the game as well as their riders.
Their readiness and quickness
were almost phenomenal. Two
innings were played, and both
were in favor of n side, the game,
therefore, was concluded in these
two innings. Col. Baldwin off,
ciated as referee. There were a
large number of spectators who
were well paid for their attendance.
The disposition of the officers of
the gallant Tenth to interest and
entertain the attendants at our
fair is worthy of gratitude from the
association and all the citizens.
We hereby extend to the officers
and men of the Tenth our hearty
thanks for their efforts to enter
tain the visitors at our fair.
