Reception to General Howard.

A reception was held last Tuesday even
ing at the residence of c. o. Howard, on
Grant street, in honor of his father, Gen.
O. o. Howard.
Many interesting "reminiscences of the
war were related by the General, particu-
larly of the campaign Familiarity known as
the March to the Sea. The we'll known
modesty of the speaker made it necessary
for some questions to be asked by the
listeners, who casually ascertained how
much of the success of that expedition
was due to the commander of one OF
Sherman's corps.
A number of patriotic songs were sung
by the company, in which the distinguished
guest joined with all the enthusiasm of 8
veteran.
Tie national colors were displayed Oh
the walls, and the dining table was
adorned with beautiful pyramid of red
white and blue asters.

Sea Side Park, Its Future In his
speech upon the future of Sea Side Park
Judge Gaskill announced that options had
been secured for the Berkeley Arms hotel
and tract and Archer tract at the north Of
Sea Side Park, also upon the Pennsylvania
Railroad tract adjoining it on the south
below the railroad bridge, and that com
pany was forming to buy up these tracts
and develop them along lines which have
done so much to build up Sea Side Park
in the past two years. If this is done
and it is confidently predicted the limits
of Sea Side Park borough will be ex-
tended to enclose all this land and the
name of the place will in all probability
be changed to something more euphonf-
GUS and convenient.

PALMYRA 9, FLORENCE 0.

Florence was shut-out at Palmyra by
the score of 9 to 0. Although Florence
got the greater number of hits, they
were all singles and were kept scattered
by Mood, whose pitching was a feature.
The batting of Brown was terrific, he
making two home runs He is a Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania student Faust also
made home run drive.
Palmyra's team work was excellent,
their fielding being fast, which prevented
the visitors from scoring when men were
on the bases.

of some person who took it upon himself
to Withdraw a plug from an iron pipe
which allowed the water to drain off the
pond which he made to protect his neigh
borhood In case of fire. He now proposes
to build trunk and fix matters so that
the outlet cannot be tempered with. 1t
is claimed by some that the presence of
the water has produced malaria in that To-
cality, which is improbable. The pond
was pretty well stocked with carp, cat
