The Dunkards, ,sor Tunkers, belong tr
a sect founded in 170S at Schwarzenau,
Germany, by Alexander Mack and seven
others, who rejected the doctrines of
paedo-baptism. The name is a nick
pame, derived from the German Tunker
to dip-members of the sect styling
themselves Brethren. Persecution
drove the founders to Holland, and be-
tween 1719 and 1929 they all emigrated
thence to America They are found in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and it is apparent that
some have found their way further
west, but their numbers all told are
not great. Their church discipline is
nearly the same as that of other Bap-
fists, except that every brother is al
lowed to eXhort. Men found apt to
teach are ordained ministers, and the
oldest teachers bishops. The Dunkards
affect great plainness of speech and
dress, like the Quakers; neither take
oaths, fight, nor go to law; and former
ly they took no interest. They cele-
brate the taking of the sacrament with
love feasts, washing of feet, the kiss
of charity, and the right hand of fel-
Owship; anoint the sick with oil for
recovery; and practice complete i'm
mersion, with laying ON of hands and
prayer even while the person baptized
is in the water.-N. Y. Tribune.

John Day river, re ,ently found cave
that has not heretofore known to

to the entrance of the cavern by fol-

falls before the danger was realized.
George and Harry Freeman clung to
the boat ard were caught in an eddy

few feet from the bank.
None of the fodies have been re.
covered. The river is being patrolled.

THEY ARE NOT so MANY,
Spencer BowIers Have a Few Things to
Learn About 9-BaIl Game

Spencer bowlers are not so many.
That is what the Worcester bowlers
were saying yesterday.
And the brethren from the hill town al
legs must admit that the laugh, and Incl
dentally the cigars, are upon them.
Last Tuesday afternoon, in this city, a
new mark was set for the nine-ball candle
pin game. The three M's-Mason. Me
Cam and Munsey-together getting 299
pins.
This stirred three Spencer bowlers to
action. They had heard of the nine-ball
game, and although they had not been
fully initiated into its mysteries, thought
they would take hand at record break
ing. Ostensibly they succeeded. and as
they scored it had 26S pins to their credit
But inasmuch as they did not count the
pins correctly, their record does not
stand. If they would be record holders
they must try again and adopt other
than distinctively Spencer system Of
1t seems that they counted strikes and
spares as though they were playing the
regular candle pin game. For instance in
the first frame, Tiffany, who was bowling
first, scored 10 pins and was so credited
Bissonnette, who rolled second. knocked
down pins, leaving ! standing. So far
the scoring was correct
Then the fun began. Ratigan, who fol-
lowed, hit the solitary pin. That entitled
him to two balls at a new set-up, accord
| ing to the Worcester and approved system
| of scoring. In Spencer however they al
lowed him to count what he made on two
| balls, twice over, once crediting it as the
gain on the strike, and the other time as
the legitimate earnings of the two balls
| Thus RatiganS score in the first frame
could in reality only be obtained had
Ratigan on his second ball made what at
| the regular game would be considered a
spare and then obtained four pins on his
remaining ball

Discharge Papers.

Conneff received his discharge papers
last Tuesday evening at Jefferson Bar
racks, Missouri, where his regiment was
stationed, and at once hied himself to
Worcester and his friends, arriving here
1t was largely through the efforts of p.
H. Hurley of this city, who has always
taken great interest in Connect, that the
champion runner, after considerable eN-
ertion, succeeded in securing his dis
charge.
Upon his arrival in this city he was met
by Mr.; Hurley and few of his, friends;
and at once escorted to the Sherwood
House. where he will make his home, as
formerly, He came into town dressed in
his army uniform. but they were quickly
discarded on reaching the hotel, and after
a hot bath he dOnned civilians dress and
soon after appeared in the hotel office.
Connen is looking hard and rugged and
says his looks do not belle his feelings
When his regiment arrived at Montauk
Point Connef obtained a furlOugh and
spent week or so in this city. AT that
time he sported beard and had the

lumbia, Harvard. Yale and Princeton
played the fourth round of the intercol-
legiate chess tournament here this after
noon The details of the playing were:
Southland tried Ruy Lopez against Falk
on the first board. The latter got into
difficulties shortly after the opening
moves were made, and lost the game
after y moves. Meyer, who defended
against Arensberg on the second board,
also IRuy Lopez, committed himself in
the early part of the game, and lost in
consequence thereof after rs moves. Cook,
who had played a Petroff against Weston
on the third board, succeeded in winning
a piece in the middle game. but leaving
his queen en- prise on his 29th move, he
had to resign four moves later. on the
last board Ely, who had played tame
queens gambit, made a fatal error at his
34th move, and lost the game after As
moves.

ming the Harvard men, by virtue of their
double victory, again took the lead over

morning charged with threatening
Martin Kevitts. The trouble started
at a christening that took place Christ
mas night, and terminated. the COM
plainant alleges, in Polofsky threaten
ing to kill him.
Several witnesses We're examined,
and the court finally ordered the de-
PENDANT discharged.
Timothy Donovan was charged with
assault and battery. His wife, Mary
Donovan, was complainant in the case,
and testified that her husband assault
ed her and she wanted him sent away.
Her face looked as though something
harder than a mans fist had struck
her, presenting many bruises and dis
ColOrations.
Officer Alfred Harper said the woman
was drunk most of the time and a few
nights ago fell down stairs, this fact
accounting for the condition of her
face
Her husband tried to help her home
at this time, but she refused to go with
him. Donovan was discharged.
William Buckley, charged with UNI
lawfully driving away a team, was
discharged.
The drunk list included: Louis Nc
