All church members, and especially
Baptists, should be on their guard
against fraud who is travelling about
this part of the state. He is rather
tall, smooth faced, and clothing quite
seedy. He knows every Baptist min
lister and claims to have recommends-
tions from all. In one place he re-
presents himself as canvassing for a
book, at another is agent for religious
newspapers, and again he is writing
up Baptist history. He is always in
need of just So, or $2.so, having fail

@. K. ROSS DEAD.
Was the Father Of the Boy Whose Abduction
Stirred a Nation.

Christian X. Ross, the father Of
Charles Ross, whose abduction on
July I, 1874, from his parents home
became matter of worldwide inter
est, and still remains largely an un-
solved mystery, died Monday morning
at his residence, Germantown, aged
seventy-four years. Mr.. Ross had
been ill but three weeks.
The abduction of Charles Ross,
who was beautiful child, practically
wrecked the life of his father, and
from the time the boy was stolen,
nearly twenty-three years ago, life
seemed burden to the once hustling
business man.

BASE BALL.

The Sunbury team was no match
for Bloomsburg Monday afternoon
and but for an error by Splain at a criti-
cal time in the eighth inning they would
have been shut out. The visitors
played nice ball for few innings, but
the pace was too fast for them. Nc
Nicely again demonstrated his ability
as pitcher, his Black Diamond Ex-
press delivery was too much for the
opposing batters, who were chopping
from start to finish. Watts two errors
were excusable as they were very hard
chances and did not figure in the run
getting. Score by innings:

The league team and the Normal
School will dispute honors at Athletic
Park Saturday afternoon at $50.
Berry Brothers will be the Normal
battery. The leaguels were defeat
ed by the Normal at Athletic Field
some time ago, and the school boys
feel very confident that they can re-
peat the dose. The game will be for
blood and should attract large crowd.
Either Hallman or Collar will pitch
for Bloom.
Bloomsbury defeated the William
sport Demorests at Williamsport
Tuesday afternoon. Dunn pitched
the game and he was very effective.
1t will be remembered that it was our
boys who gave the Demorest's their
first defeat away from home, and
Tuesdays game is the first defeat they
have suffered at home. The Gazette
and Bulletin of that city says; "The
Bloomsburg team supported their
pitcher in gilt edged style. Score:
