OLD TIMERS LOST
IN THE eighth

The story Of the game can be told
in two innings In the one Danyille
made all its runs and i'll the other
Berwick clinched the victory. This
is the tale of Tuesdays base ball
contest ut DeWitt's Park, between the
cold Timers and Berwick. The
visitors from the car town had a
strong team and deserved the victory
they took in the eighth inning" Three
Fingercd' Smith was in the box for
Berwick and held Danville down to
four hits. Bell was tritie wild and
was pounded for eight hits. The sixth
and eighth innings really constituted
the whole game.
Danville did nothing until the sixth,
the visitors having scored two runs by
that time. With n whirlwind dash
the "Old Timers sent out four hits
and tied the score Hummer. who
was first at bat, stIucn out. Then
Bell singled and took second on a hit
by HOffa. Yerrick struck out, but Bell
was brought home on Il hit of Ammer-
man 5 Ross caught the leather and
Hoffa trotted in. Donovan struck out,
retiring the side. This was all very
exciting and reused the enthusiasm of
the audience to high pitch. Both
these runs were earned.
The eighth was another matter en-
tirely rs it was all Berwick 3 way.
Brady got first OH hit, stole second,
went to third on wild pitch and scor-
ed the winning run on an error by
Ross. This ended the game, the de
tail of which is as follows:

Awaiting the CompanY's Reply

Many inquiries are made concern
ing the undergrade crossing which the
p q r. railway company signitied its
intention of erecting on Walnut sire ct
as long ago as last summer and for
which a preliminary survey was made
at the tine. As the situation stands
at present, when traffic on the railroad
is up to normal the two crossings West
of the station are blocked a great deal
of the time. The inconvenience OF
our citizens at that point is a twice,
told tale, which it is not necessary to
repeat here.
The construction of an undergrado
crossing seemed to promise a solution
of the difficulty. The borough in
building the culvert on Walnut street
last fall, gladly met the Reading rail.
way people half way in their project,
adding much to the culvert's expense
i'll order to conform with their plans
for the proposed crossing at that point,
Borough Solicitor was instructed to
communicate with the Reading rail.
way officials to learn what their plans
are in the matter Their reply, which
will evidently be made known at the
meeting of council on Friday night,
is being awaited with much interest.

ARRANGING FOR
A Big DAY

Fellows lodges tenders an invitation

carried to the grounds and returned
free of charge. Places where the
baskets, etc, can be left will be de

of this city and South Danville.
The First Ward Juniors are eager
for the day when they will meet the
|. O. O. F. nine on the diamond at
the park. This will be a great game.
The Odd Fellows will wear high silk
hats and white gloves. The chairman
of the committee asked the captain of
the Juniors if the regulation ball
would not be too large for the boys to
handle. The Junior sturdily replied !:
Now, don't you worry about us Get
any size you want, we always manage
to get around the ball. :"
The park and all its amusements
will be free. Stands of all kinds will
be run for the accommodation of those
who wish to avail themselves of these
advantages

TENTH ANNUAL
COMMENCEMENT

The tenth annual commencement of
the Training School for Attendants
was held at the Hospital for the In
sane July 10TH The class this year
numbers nineteen and is one of the
largest yet turned out at the institu
tion, being surpassed in size only by
the one last year, which numbered
twenty.
The exercises were very interesting,
Amusement Hall on the occasion be-
ing comfortably filled. A large num-
Der of friends and relatives of the
graduates were present. The bulk of
the audience. however, as usual was
made up of orderly patients.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. N. E. Cleaver. The
address to the graduating class was
made by Clarence l.. Peaslee of Will
Transport. He took as his theme
Power and Aim" showing that it is
only when these two are properly join
ed and united that manhood and wo-
manhood rises to their true dignity
and the highest results are achieved.
The discourse was full of excellent
thoughts Power or aim each without
the other is useless. No person lives
without an aim, but the aim to be
true one must have something of the
Notwithstanding of Heaven in it,
aspiring to search out truth and to be
of service to others. The speaker cited
the great Napoleon as an example of
great power coupled with low aims.
Through the force of his genius Nap
olean could have advanced the civiliZa-
tion of Europe hundred years but
his aim was low and he chose to be a
conqueror Bring your powers up so
as TO be commensurate with your aim.
To lower your aim to meet your pow
er is the part of coward.

pital played three selections and Miss
Bradley rendered piano SOLO The

PREPARIN COAL
FOR THE MARKET

The digging of coal from the bed of
the Susquehanna river is an industry
that has given an impetus by the an
thTacite coal strike. Those engaged
i'll it do not worry about unions, leases
or operators. There are a few Dan
Vile people who bring up coal from
the bottom of the river, but at Sun
bury quite number are at work.
Just above the town there are five
large boats fitted with dredging and
hoisting machinery and they get out
from twenty to thirty tons per day.
The coal has gotten into the river from
| the LuZerne county mines and has
been carried down by the action of the
| water almost a hundred miles from
where it was mined The high water
of the past few weeks brought down
hundreds of tons.
The most of it lodges in the North
Branch above the Northumberland
bridges. This is partly caused by the
action of the water against the piers
| and partly because the junction with
the West Branch backs up the North
Branch and the coal settles in whal
the diggers call "fields' or "pock
cts - North of Packers Island is an
other place where considerable coal is
found 1t extends in long narrow
lines and many tons are found i'll these
l"pockets. - At the canal schute of
the DAM below Sunbury, is another
good location for the diggers. Very
little is found below this dam, but at
CLARK $ Ferry, only Il short distance
above Harrisburg, the dam there stops
| considerable coal and makes digging
profitable
Coal digging has been an industry
at Sunbury for some years, but the
demand has been increased by the
strike and prices have advanced. The
old adage of carrying Goals to New
Castle" is exemplified now as coal is
| shipped from Sunbury to Wilkesbarre.
a Sunbury digger has entered into a
contract with a Wilkesbarre coal deal
| er to furnish a hundred tons of river
| coal. -
1t is curious sight to watch the riv-
er miners scooping the coal out of the
river The pieces of coal are all worn
round or nearly so. There are no
sharp corners and the brilliant gloss
peculiar to anthracite coal has all
been worn or soaked away. The coal
is taken out with large steam shovels,
| the stones are picked out, and the coal
| then run over screens to sort the sizes.

rows were made six feet apart and the
hills six feet apart for the cucumbers,
summer squash and muskmelons and
eight feet apart for the winter squash
and watermelOns.
The garden furnished a full supply
of vegetables for winter use, as well as
a continuous succession through the
growing season.
After harvesting the early crops late
crops were planted upon the same
ground. The cultivation of the late
crop keeps the ground free from weeds.
Cucumber beetles were controlled by
spraying with bordeaux mixture and
cabbage worms by spraying with white
hellebore.
