Byron Kashner, clerk for c. M.
Creveling at Almedia, had thrilling
experience early Saturday morning.
He was awakened from sleep by bur
glars who had already broken into the
store. Securing shot gun, which
was standing in the corner near the
bed, he started down the stairs. His
descent was noiseless, but CLEAN OF
light fell upon the polished part of the
weapon and attracted the attention oi
the marauders, and they made bolt
for the window, escaping, amid a fusl-
ade Of shots. They also fired several
times. Once out into the open they
fastened their steps, going in the di
rection of the lead mines. Mr.. Kash-
ner had a good view at one of them,
and he describes him as beng young,
probably twenty-five years of age,
There were several strangers in the
vicinity on the day preceding the at
tempt, and they no doubt belonged tc
the gang.

rhoids, apoplexy and lumbago were
few of the kings maladies discussed in
the clubs and drawing rooms.
The latest bulletin issued announces
that the kings condition is as good as
could be expected after so serious an
operation. His strength is maintained,
there is less pain, and his majesty has
taken a little nOurishment, but it will
be some days before it will be possible
to say that King Edward is out of dan
ger. 1t is signed by Treves, Laking
and Barlow.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
returned to London from Windsor
Monday. They arrived at Paddington
station at 1882 o'clock and drove in
semistate to buckingham palace They
Were warmly acclaimed along the
route.
The public welcome to the king
reached such proportions as to be the
first gala event of this week of fes-
tivities. Long before - 30 p. m, when
the train was dus, crowds began to as
semble at the station and in the neigh
borhood. Every inch of the station
itself except the arrival platform was
crowded.
Millions of Englishmen and visitors
from all over the world spent the day
in traversing the streets and viewing
the decorations.

Fourth Of IuIy.

This is the season for invitations.

fine parade with many other events to
make the occasion pleasant. There
is no R. S. V. P. attached to this in
vitation, but all are urged to get on a
train, and all trains on the Fourth
will come to Danville. There will be
a hot time in this town and the more
that come the merrier il will be.
These invitations are informal, but
are intended to impress all that read
or hear of the celebration to consider

Normal and the Phila. Grants Break Ever

|
The Philadelphia Giants, recog-
nized as the fastest team OF colored
base ball players extant, were the
Normals opponents on Monday and
again on Tuesday. They were here
once before earlier in the season and
succeeded in downing Normal in both
games, though the score in each in
stance was very close. These two
games were still fresh in the minds of
the patrons Of the sport, and the re-
turn of the colored individuals this
week, served to draw out two of the
largest audiences OF the season.
The first game was very pretty
contest. In. the estimation of many,
a more scientific exhibition was never
seen on the local diamond. Steven
ton, Normal's winning slab artist was in
the box, and he crowned himself with
glory. Only seven hits were made off
his delivery,an these except in the first
inning, were widely scattered. The
men behind him played championship
ball, especially Newton at short, who
accepted ten chances and some of
them difficult ones without an error.
Carter fot the Giants dished up an
unsolvable variety of curves, only six
hits were made off him, but they came
at the right time. The score by Inn
ings follows:
Normal ........3 %
Two base hits-Hayes. Double
plays-Newton to Aldinger; Smith to
Nelson. Base on balls-Aldinger,
Hayes, Newton, Kilmer, Grant, Cart
er. Hit by pitched ball Garter.
Struck out BY Steventon, 8; Cart
er, 1, Time of game-I:ao. Um-
pire-B w. Hagenbuch.
SECOND GAME.
Tuesdays game was disgusting in
several respects, and the audience al
| different times broke into Kisses and
jeers. First one side would berate
the umpire, then the other side. In
briet it was kick from start to finish.
Once the Giants positively refused to
abide by a decision and left the field.
Mr.. Owens, acted in the capacity OF
umpire, and in our opinion, rendered
his decision in accordance with his
belief. The impartial, enlightened
verdict of every fair minded person
who witnessed the game will vindicate
the rectitude of his conduct. 1t was
a hard game 10 umpire and Mr..
Owens did the very best he could.
A description of the game is hardly
necessary, save to state that it re-
quired twelve innings to determine
the victors. With the score 8 to 6
in favor of the Giants in the ninth
Normal went in and by some clever
stick work made two runs and tied
the score. In their half of the twelfth
the Giants gathered two runs. Hays
hit the first man up and the next
fellow hit the ball over the fence for
a home run.
Score by innings:
Giants II 4 c o o 1 PIC
Normal 2 l I o o-S
Two base hits-Newton, White
Three base hit-Whlte. Home rum

A unique wedding and one of
considerable social import, was
solemnized in Millville at noon on
Tuesday, when DR.. John w. Biddle
and Miss Edna Ewes, 10th of Mill
vile, joined hands for life. The
ceremony took place on the porch
at the home of the BRIDES parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Chandlee Ewes. The
guests witnessed the service from
seats on the lawn. The ceremony
employed was that which is recog-
nized and in vogue by the Society
of Friends, and in the performance
of which no minister is required.
Both the bride and groom are
potent factors in Millville's social
circles, and they begin life with the
we'll wishes OF their legion OF
friends.

We print in this issue a letter
from w. c. Johnston Esq. in reply
to the letter of r. R. Zarr Esq.
published in last week issue THE
COLUMBIAN takes no part in this
controversy and expresses no opin-
ion as to the merits of the case. 1t
seems to us that the way to settle
the question is by prosecuting the
election boards charged with CON-
mitting the frauds. This would
show either that the returns were
correct, and therefore Mr.. Zarr was
entitled to have the benefit Of all
the votes cast for him according to
the returns; or else it would show
that the returns were fraudulent
and that the convention did right
in throwing ont the votes of those
districts only in so far as they
could be shown to be fraudulent.
If the evidence submitted to the
committee was sufficient to warrant
the convention in throwing out those
districts, it ought to be sufficient to
convict the election boards in a
court of justice. Our interest is
that of every other Democrat, and
we want to have these annual
charges of corruption that are regu-
larly made against the lower end,
refuted if they be false; and if they
are true, the offender should receive
such punishment as will deter 9th
ers from the same crime in the fu-
ture.

The congregation Of tie First Presby-
terian Church Of this city held it's re9u-
lar annual meeting last evening in the

tary.

plished To God be all the praise for
