AT meeting of the directors of the
Scranton Bowling league, to be held
tomorrow in South Scranton, the ques-
ton of dropping two of the eight teams
Will be considered and acted upon. 1t
seems to be the opinion of the ma
iority of the players that only one
team from each alley should be in the
league and the indications point to the
dropping of the Colts, or former
Hampe team, and the South Side team.
Should these two teams be dropped
the season could be finished in a much
shorter time by Il Encouragement of
the schedule 1t is possible that the
proposed plan of dropping these two
clubs may be fought, however.

The bowling balls which will be
among the prizes offered for the open
tournament, soon to start on the
Hampe alleys, are on exhibition in one
of the windows and are pronounced
by experts to be about the finest ever
seen in this city. There are no finger
holes in them, so that the winners may
have holes cut at just what places
they may desire. The tournament
opens next Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and will continue throughout
the month of May. 1t has been decided
to insist that all boWlerS desiring to
compete for the gold medal for the
highest individual average for thirty
games, must bowl alone, that is-not in
a game.
Lit, the new player on the Central
n
Sins' high score of 25S on the Hampe
alleys the other night. and if his last
ball had not been perverse, he would
have succeeded. AS it was, he made
252. A still higher score is reported
from the Becker alleys, in West Scran-
ton, where Roy Rothermel rolled up
262 recently
The Franklin team, by winning six
straight games at the outset of the
series, has done something never be-
fore done in a league contest in this
city. The members confidently expect
to win three more on Wednesday
night next, when they have the Becker
team as opponents.
The most remarkable bowling of the
season now ending was done in New
York city on Thursday night, when the
crack Fidelia team made total of
3,O33 pins for three games. The game
scores We're as follows: OO5, 1,0O5 and
1,023. This is an average of 202 3-15
for each player for the three games.
The Fidelias are now ahead I'm the

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
REFUSES A PENSION
Saws Government Is Paving
Too Much Already.

One soldier OF the civil war. bent
nearly double with disease contracted
IT, the line of duty. has refused to take
advantage Of a pension OF s12 a month
granted him by the Government
He is John A. Daley. OF Topeka. Kan.
and mis- reasons for not accepting the
money after making application for the
pension. and securing it. constitute
one of thc most curious cases ever be-
fore the Pension Bureau.
Some time ago MIR. Daley filed his pa
pcrs for pension. and after full ex-
animation. it was found that he was en-
titled to receive it, The matter was
passed upon in the usual way, and the
pensioner was officially informed OF his
good fortune. BY return mail Mr.. Daley
informed the bureau that he did not de-
sire to take the money. and had taken
out papers TO establish his rightful
identity as a soldier of the Fourteenth
Indiana Infantry. He said that this
fact had been questioned. and he wanted
il proven in the most effeCtual way by
an official appeal TO the records OF the
Pension Office. With the fact that he
was deserving OF the bounty Of the Gov
ernment. he was content. and he refus-
ed TO take a cent Of what was due him.
Commissioner Ware was much sur
prised upon the receipt of Mr.. Dailey's
letter announcing this determination.
and came 10 the conclusion that the
man was Of unsound mind Accordingly
an examiner was sent TO Topeka TO in
vestigate the case. and report 10 the
Commissioner. The pensioner was found
to be an old man. and i'll with disease
contracted In the war. He was. how
ever. seen to be all right mentally. and
said that he had taken the action de-
scribed 20 stop the mouths OF certain
people. who doubted the statement that
he had served honOrably in the Union
Army. He declared that he did not need
the money, and that ne should not re-
ceive il from the Government. which was
paying out many millions OF dollars an
nually in pensions already
The examiner returned 20 Washington
and made his report and then arose the
question Of what the department should
do under the circumstances COmmis-
I sioner Ware for a time doubted his au-
| thority to revoke the pension or to al
l low the money 20 be retained in the
/ Treasury. IL was finally decided that
| the Commissioner had Jurisdiction in III,
matter and the pension was revoked al
/ the request OF Mr.. DALEY.
In case Mr.. DALEY should change bis
mind and conclude at later time tC
I take advantage or the monthly payment
/ from the Treasury. he can make appli-
/ cation and receive n. though COmmis-
sioner Ware says that his refusal 20 ac-

RETURN OF EUGENE
PETERS RECALLED
Relatives Seek to Have His
Marriage Annulled.

The return OF Eugene Peters to this
city in March, 1899, and the attempt then
made to have him declared insane. is
recalled by the proceedings instituted
yesterday ia the supreme Court OF the
District BY his aunt Mrs. Hannah II.
Parsell of New York. TO have the mar
riage contract entered into by him with
Clara Louise Mackey declared void ana
illegal.
The ground on which it is asked that
the marriage be set aside is that Eu-
gene Peters was not of sound mind when
he entered into the contract. and also
that he was induced to do so by fraud
and force.
Mr. Peter is now in an asylum for
the insane near Baltimore. Md Mrs.
Parsell says in her petition that Peters
was conspired against by his private
secretary. William f. Scitz. and gam
bier named Walsh. at Hot Springs. Ark,
who. taking advantage Of his troubled
mental condition. induced him TO marry
Clara Louise Mackey at Malvern on Feb
ruary IS. 1882. Soon after this Peters
and his wife left Hot Springs for New
Orleans. La. They were there but a
short time when il is said Walsh put IN
an appearance.
1t was also said by Peters that an
effort was made to have him committed
to an asylum i'm New Orleans. When
he learned OF this scheme he left thai
city Immediately for Washington. Tie
was in a state OF great excitement whel
he arrived here. and was taken iutC
custody by the police soon after his ar
rival. AT the First police station, il {.
said. Peters lighted a cigar with a hun
dred dollar bill. which he first ignitet
from a gas jet.
Inquiry as 10 Peters mental condition
was made in the local courts at thai
time. The proceedings occupied the at
tention OF the court for several days
and resulted in Peters being declared
competent to take care Of himself and
his property.
Several months atterward Peters san
ity was again made a subject Of judi.
ciaI inquiry. and it was decided that h,
was not competent 10 manage his bust
ness affairs. and a committee was nam
ed to take charge Of his estate.
Mr. Peters is a nephew Of the lat,
Norris Peters. and it Is said that hi'
personal estate is worth between $3.50.

catarrh and generally more difficult TO
