The speaker of the day was William

Mrs. Samuel Frear, on Linden street.
Old Fort jenkins was located on the
bank of the Susquehanna river, just
about twelve rods northeast of where
the western end of the Ferry bridge
now stands. 1t was a log house, sur
rounded by stockade, and was erect
ed in June 1777, and here gathered the
inhabitants Of the valley for their pro-
lection against the encroachments of
the Indians and British. In July 177s,
1,100 British and Indians, under Gem
eral Butler, attacked the fort and at
ter a heavy fight, compelled the lit
tie force on guard to capitulate.

Walter Burnham's local team this
season, has returned to his home in
Philadelphia. The heavy-hittlng young

Edward Fertsch, who officiated in the
box for Reading last year and during
this seasons Atlantic league season.
and who also pitched for Buffalo in
80, met with an accident Wednesday
which will probably result in the loss

Charles Dryden, the clever base ball
writer of the Philadelphia North
American, keeps up continual fire on
Andy Freedman, which is calculated to
make the genial New York magnate
fairly sizZle. In recent issue Dryden
tells of the discipline preserved in the
New York team, and remarks that
every time ball is batted to the out
field the entire intield is fined, and If
an opposing batsman lines 'er over the
fence, every member of the team is
docked. So judicious is Freedman's
system of fining, says Dryden, that at
the end of this season every Giant will
owe the magnate his next years SAL
ary.
In spite Of frequent announcements
that at the end of the season he will
quit the game, Manager Bob Allen, OF
Cincinnati, will again be in charge Of
National league team next season. 1t
is not likely, however, that he will be
again at the helm of the Reds. Brush,
the Cincinnati magnate, wants a play
ing manager, and is after either
Hughey Jennings or Joe Kelly.

Punts and Drops.

THE TWO big games of today will
take place at Cambridge and
Philadelphia. Harvard will meet
Columbia and the University of Penn
sylvania will face Brown. In view of
the poor showing made by Columbia
against Williams, Harvard does not
anticipate a great deal of trouble in
defeating the eleven which last year
downed Yale. The game will be far
from one-sided, however, as Harvard
is in nothing like the condition reached
at this time last year, and Columbia,
besides having a strong line, which
will stubbornly resist the listless
plunging of the Harvard backs, has a
pair Of strong ends, to break up any
side plays. None of the Harvard
runners have shown up in good form,
and the Cambridge coaches are be-
coming discouraged with the lack (of
good material in the department which
they expected to be SO strong. Much
reliance is bing placed, however, upon
big Shirley Ellis, last years terrific
line bucking back, and he is expected
to tear up the Columbia defense.
The University of Pennsylvania
expects to down the strong Brown
team, without being scored on,
and the splendid work so far done by
the Philadelphia players almost war;
rants such confidence. The Brown
team is made up Of clever. aggressive
players, however, who may spring a
surprise on the Red and the Blue.
Much local interest is being taken
in next Saturdays game at Easton
when Lafayette and Princeton will
meet. A large number of Scranton
boys are attending both colleges, as
result of which the city is full of
partisans of both teams. A large
delegation of local enthusiasts are al
ready arranging to witness the game.

Donald Rose, the big Scot who has
done SO much to popularize the great
Illinois Central in the intermountain re-
gion, is in town. Mr.. Rose says that the
present has been n of unprecedented
prosperity for his line, as indeed, it has
been for the railroads generally. There
is no indication of any diminution of
traffic, n the only change Rose expects
to see is a further increase in the bust
ness of the line and a continuation of the
policy of Improvement and expansion
adopted by the roads last year.
In the matter of extensions and new
mileage built and acquired, the Illinois
Central will probably lead all the rail-
reads of the United States this year.

A Suggestion Relative to Creating a
Daily Memorial Room in School
of Mines.

The meeting of the Butte Business
Mems association tonight promises to be
very largely attended in view of the fact
that the matter of erecting a monument
in Butte to Marcus Daily will come up for
discussion.
Owing to the fact that there is no suit
able place in Butte for the display of a
memorial, several of the faculty of the
School of Mines suggested that the
money collected be put into a DAILY
memorial room at the School of Mines
building. They believe that this would
be most appropriate, considering the
fact that Mr.. Days life was spent in the
upbuilding of the mining industry.

SMALL
P0X SITUATION

The county commissioners and the city
board of health met together in the
rooms of the former this afternoon and
discussed the smallpox situation with a
view to adopting some way of handling
the disease to better advantage than the
facilities now afford. 1t was argued
that the present system of caring for
patients was accomplishing nothing to-
wards stamping out the pest; that the
increasing number of cases made necess-
airy the erection of another building for
their care or the adoption of a system
for the retention of patients at their
own homes.
Chairman Clark of the commissioners
expressed the belief that if this system
were adopted the present pest house
would accommodate those who have no
homes, but live in lodging houses and
other places without anyone to take care
OF them.
At a late hour no definite conclusion
had been cached.
