| MOUNT HOLLY y, DELANoo l.
Ring the bells Get out the fire extin-
guishers ! Mount Holly won game
Delanco, it is true, was not much pump
kins of club, but we won, and that's an
unusual proceeding.
| The home team was in chaotic state at
$50 o'clock. Kelly hadn't appeared, and
Green had sent in his resignation too late
to get another catcher. After consider
able powwowing it was decided to put
Logan behind the bat, Sine on second and
Gleason at short Quaker" Shinn and
! Loveland were ornamented with uni
forms and put in the outfield. Only three
players were in their regular positions
Denness, Pancoast and Kingdom. The
combination was all right, however, for it
won in a walk.
When the visitors arrived at four o'clock
it was ascertained that they. too, were
geared low, being minus pitcher Vinson
and one fielder. Linton and McGuigan
were loaned to them and the game pro-
ceeded
The scoring began in the second inning
Pancoast singled to left Sine and King
don were retired on flies Loveland was
safe at first on wild throw by Loyell, on
which Pancoast reached third. Loveland
stole second. With two men on bases
and two out, Shinn singled to right, scor-
ing the two runs. Quaker" was given
quite an ovation by the rooters Gleason
and Logan were safe on errors, and Dunn
died on foul fly to Lowell.
In the fourth Shinn got life on De
Knights dropping a thrown ball, stole
second, and scored on Eynon's muff of
Logan's long fly.
Denness singled in the fifth, but was
forced at second by Pancoasts intield
grounder. Sine was retired on q fly to
Eynon. Kingdom got life on DeKnight's
error Loveland singled, filling the bases
Shinn was again due at the bat He spat
on his hands, surveyed the cloudy sky.
and dropped short fly safely in right
field, scoring Pancoast This time the

and two more runs crossed the rubber.
Shinn was caught at the home plate by
also trying to score on the error.
Three runs were added in the seventh
on errors by Quigg and Zimmerman,
stolen base by Gleason, and a single by
Logan.
The visitors escaped shut-out by get
ting one run during the eighth inning.
Zimmerman got base on balls, stole
second, and tailed on Unions single
Dunns pitching and Logan's catching
were features of the game, Dunn struck
out fourteen batters and kept the hits
down to three. Logan, although unac-
customed to the position behind the bat,
did excellent work, holding the pitched
balls and throwing well TO bases.
The visitors fielded miserably. 1t
would be difficult to imagine game with
more misplays than that exhibited by
Delanco.
1t was Mount Hollys first errorless
game this season

The game at White Hill was very ex-
citing. A large delegation accompanied
the visitors, which, with the home rooters,
created lots of noise. Wood was hit hard,
but got excellent support. Cerfrey made
a fine one-hand stop, retiring the runner
at first.
Hesley pitched great game, allowing
the visitors but three singles and two
scratch hits. With proper support he
would have shut out Burlington.

On the south side of Union street, in
all the infiorescent glory of its annual
beauty, may at the present time be seen a
lovely display of clematis japonica, which
so beautifully Grapes the extensive porch
of William T. Harding, to the great de-
light of all who appreciate pretty things
This is certainly the most beautiful gar
den spot in Mount Holly, giving the
whole neighborhood a sweet and fragrant
perfume. In addition to this rich vine,
which is the last flower to bloom this year,
there can be seen other specimens of rare
plants. Mr.. Harding's knowledge of bot
any enables him to have things in first
class condition all the time, and besides,
! Horticulture is one of the charms of his
life.
| When John A. Bidwell erected his ham.
mock factory on the Hainesport road, he
made some preparation for the safety OF
the building by creating large pond SO
that water could be secured in case of
fire. 1t is fortunate, however, that nc
condagration has occurred, for the reason
that while the water is in the pond all
ready for use, there has been no means
provided by which the engines could get
at It, On account of additional RESPONSE
bilities being entailed by an enlargement
of the building, a small wharf should be
constructed at convenient point from
the street SO that the engines could have
place from which they could get the
water This matter ought to be attended
to at once, as iremen have examined the
situation and find that the water in its
present shape is no good for the purpose
! for which it is intended.

THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD.

To-Day Marks Decade Since the Burst
ing of the Reservoir
One of the most destructive floods in
the history of the country occurred at
YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, on May 31St, 1889, just
ten years ago to-day.
By the bursting of huge reservoir
on the mountains, the town was almos t
entirely destroyed, and about 5000
persons persisted.
The water in it's passage to Johns
town descended about $50 feet. The
theoretical velocity due to this descent
would be about 127 feet per second or
between sc and 81 miles an hour. Ac-
cording to the best accounts from Is
to II minutes was occupied in the pas
sage to Johnstown, distance of about
twelve miles. Thus the average veloc-
ity could not have been far short Of so
miles an hour The impetus Of such q
mass of water was irresistible. AS the
flood burst through the dam it cut trees
away as if they were stalks of null

Is the Stars and Stripes were lifted
from the monument, the thought came
to me, all honors to our great generals;
but how many humble boys in blue
died the miserable death of starvation
and disease in yon Southern prisons,
or fell in the deadly conflict and were
buried in unknown graves, or have
since died from injuries and diseases
received In service, who have no pri-
yate monuments unveiled for them.
And then the second thought that
came to me was, Are they forgotten
And the answer, No., Immediately
came to my mind. Go to the memorial
halls and the monuments scattered all
over our. country, and there read the
inscribed names of
THOSE FALLEN HEROES.
See the long procession of school chill
dren and soldiers and citizens who to-
day march with Gods beautiful flow
ers in hand to decorate their graves
Their names and deeds are living in
the hearts of the people Of this grateful
nation.
Say not they are dead, forgotten.
Voiceless, speechless, silent dust,
No man is dead whose toll and heart.

Speed a great God-given trust.
ooh, no. they are not forgotten, and,
dear soldiers. when one by one you
are laid to rest, you shall not be for
gotten. When you are gone, your
graves will be strewn with flowers.
And when the last soldier shall have
passed away. future generations, as
they decorate your graves may well
say:
Bow the knee-their graves are holy,
Consecrated is this soil,
Hallowed deep through all the ages,
In the sight of men and God.''

THE OHIO SITUATION.

Columbus. Ohio, May 30.-With the
selection of delegates for the Republi-
can State Convention, which meets
here Thursday and Friday, practically
completed, there is but one thing which
seems certain about the nomination OF
a candidate for governor-that is that
the nominee will not be a distinctly
fractional man or person hostile to
the administration.
1t is conceded that Judge Nash aud
Chairman Daugherty, of the Central
Committee. are in the lead, but it is
also thought that in case a choice is
not made by the second ballot, DARK
horse will win, and it would not be
surprising if assistant secretary ]. H
Brigham, of Fulton county, or Con-
gresham W. S. Kerr should be chosen
