REMEMBERED THE HEROES.
Major +. n. Scott on His Deathbed
Sent Tobacco to Manila.


In few weeks the men on bosrd the
American fleet at Manila will receive as
a donation, practically from the grave,
a shipment of 100 cases OF fine Virginia
tobacco.
The tobacco is the gift of Major Fred.
r. Scott the wealthy railroad president
and banker, who died some time ago.
and now rests beneath the green sod Of
Hollywood. Major Scott, during his last
illness, read the war news closely, and
he was, though he did not at the time
know it, on his death-bed. when the
news reached him that Commodore
Dewey's fleet had destroyed the Spanish
ships in Manila harbor. and so impress
ed was he with the splendid work of the
American sailors that he directed that
100 cases of tobacco be sent TO them
from the factory in this city, in which
he owned a large interest
The Southern Railway Company and
the Big Four agreed to give the goods
free transportation, and they were ship
ped few days ago. They are now on
their way to the Philippines, and the
sailors will, no doubt, enjoy the treat,
but few, IL, any, OF them will ever know
that the heart which prompted the good
deed has ceased to perform its functions,
and that the man TO whom they are in
debted is in his grave.

WATER-LADEN BARGE LOST.
She Had a Crew of Five Men

CHARLESTON, s. c., June ga
water-laden barge and her crew of five
men, in tow OF the steamer Leonidas.
were lost Sunday. between Norfolk and
Charleston. The Leonidas and her charge
were en- route from Norfolk for
Key West, TO supply the army and navy.
The news OF the loss OF the barge and
her crew was brought to port to-day by
the, pilot-boat r. II. Cowan, which was
hailed OF the jetties by the Leonidas and
given dispatches TO be sent north.
The pilot-boat was given but little in
formation of the disaster. From what
could be learned the vessel encountered
a severe storm last Saturday night off
the coast Of North Carolina, and during
the gale the hawsers parted and the
barge went down.
The barge was of iron and was schoon-
er-rigged. The steamer is en- route
for Key West, with ammunition and sup
piles for the United States war vessels
and army. The barge was also being sent
south to relieve the water famine. The
cargo of the Leonidas required imme-
date delivery and her master found il
impossible to put into port 10 wire the
particulars.

new Allentown club will make Richmond
play ball TO keep its good position. The
two Delehanty boys, Orgie Moran. Ollie
Smith, Red Foster, Charles Mcintyre,
George Cleve, and the others have been
playing good ball. but have been hitting
in hard luck. Sharsig has some new
pitchers, one of them, Keener. being an
exceptionally good twirler. The Allen
town games will certainly be entertain
ing. Commencing to-day the games will
be called at 4:45 o'clock, at the request

Schedule for To-day.
Allentown mt Richmond.
Lancaster at Norfolk.
Newark mt Reading.
Hartford mt Paterson.

Richmond's ball team Is now in frs
place in the Atlantic League race, anc
with the Allentown team to cope with
during the remainder of this week. the
chances are, she will keep it for awhile
The Bluebirds took the coveted posi-
ton from Lancaster yesterday afternoon
when, at Broad-Street Park, they de-
feated Wards hard-hitters. They did not
have to make an effort TO win; the game
was practically presented to them.
In the outset, the Ward "heelers"
started off as though they proposed
achieving victory, but with Piggy Ward
as an examplar, they began in the
second inning to accumulate errors. All
kinds Of ragged work was done. and
errors were piled one upon another in
quick succession. AS a result, Richmond
having already made two runs, increased
her score to eight, and the game was
won.
NO EFFORT MADE.
From that time on the LancasterIans
lolled about the diamond and made no
effort to win. They converted the game
into a farce and in this effort were very
successfully aided by Umpire Kelly.
This official seemed to have a poor eve
for the ball, and called balls and strikes
in the most reckless manner. He roasted
both sides. though, and Richmond owes
him nothing for her victory.
West was in the box for Lancaster. and
pitched fairly good game. He was the
only man on the Lancaster team who
seemed to care rap about the outcome
of the contest 90 and he was hit more free
ly than he should have been. The field
ers behind him did not go after the ball,
and hence, what should have been put
outs had to go down against him as
hits, because the rules do not provide
for awarding an error to a player who
should go after a ball but fails to do so.
LEVERS OFF DAY.
Lever was the artist who manipulated
the sphere for Richmond, but Sammy
had his off day, and but for the listless- |
ness Of the visitors he would undoubtedly |
have lost his game. He did not seem |
to have his old-time speed, nor his null
titudinous curves, and he did not fool |
the Lancasterians a little bit They bat |
ted him at will and kept the Richmond |
outfield continually on the jump. Not
the fact that the Lancas- |
ter lads did not apparently try to win, |
they might have done so any how had |
it not been for the gilt-edged support |
given Lever.
There was little Of interest in the game.
and the details of the play can best be
told by the score, which is appended:

The Coal OUTPUT,

From preliminary statement COM
piled by E. w. Parker, statistician
of the United States geological sur
vey, it is shown that the total output
of coal in the United States in 1897
amounted approximately to 1913, 250,
900 short tons with an aggregate
value of S19S, 900, an increase
over 1896 of about 3.3 per cent.
The increase in value was a little less
than g of per cent. The amount
of coal produced in 1897 was the
largest on record. The average value
per ton was the lowest ever known,
continuing the declining tendency
which has been shown without any re-
action for the past six years. The
marketable product of anthracite coal
in Pennsylvania during 1897 was 42,-
637 1854 long tons, against "A 1873, 400
long tons in 1896. OF the 20 btu
mlnous coal producing states there
were only six in which the production
in 1897 was less than in the preceding
year. In 10 of them the output was
the largest ever obtained. In 20 out
of the 29 states producing bituminous
coal the average price per ton in 1897
was less than In 1896, the general
average for the United States being
SO cents in 1896 and 81 IN 1897.
Considering the industry by states,
Pennsylvania holds her usual position.
The combined product of anthracite
and btuminous Goals from the Kew
stone state amounted to LOG, 000,0 900
short tons, nearly 81 per cent of the
total output. Pennsylvania per-
centage of the total bituminious out
put was 81, her output of soft coal
being 100000 tons. Illinois re-
mains second with total of 20,000,-
900 short tons. West Virginia comes
third, leading Ohio by ,250, 900 tons.
Alabama reached her maximum out
put of 5,893,770 tons and stands
fifth. Then comes Iowa, Maryland

A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.


A dictionary containing the defni-
tons of 10000 Of the most useful
aud important words in the English
language, is published by the Dr..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
n, Y. While ii contains some adj
vertising, it is complete dictionary,
concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has
been taken to omit none of those
common words whose spelling or ex-
act use occasions at times a momen-
tary difficulty, even to well educated
people. The main aim has been to
give as much useful information as
possible in limited space. With
this in view, where noun, adjective
and verb are all obviously connected
in meaning, usually one only has
been inserted. The volume will thus
be found to contain the meaning of
very many more words than it pro-
fesses to explain.
To those who already have a die
tionary, this book will commend it,
self because il is compact, light and
convenient; to those who have no
dictionary aohatever, it will be inval-
liable. One may be secured by writ
ing to the above concern, mentioning
this paper, and enclosing a two-cent
stamp.
