IL is not easy In these days to pick out
something new in the way of an athletic
feat or a mechanical feature for a melo-
drama. Most OF the available material
has been well used up. But In "A Ragged
Hero" at the Park theatre this week,
there IL a scene where a girl II rescued
from a burning building by the use OF
swing, the hero swinging higher and
higher. until at last he swings past where
the child is at the window and snatches
her out That. at least, has the merit OF

doing the leading, there was little fight
Ing. In the third round only, two blows
were exchanged during the three
minutes. When Hull rushed his man,
ne carried him off his feet, and half
, dozen times he had him outside the
rope limits of the ring. But he lacked
the steam to lay the dark boy low. Ills
wind was poor.

for the sprained finger. The dark boy

surely have been his. Hull moved his
man down two or three times, and but
for his wonderful ability to take pun
ishment, Gilbert should have been
counted out in the fourth or fifth round.
The fight demonstrated Hulls great
muscular strength and his lack of
wind after much eXertion. First blood
was drawn by Gilbert, but before the
end, Hull had the darky bleeding the
more freely.
The crowd was far from satisfied
with the see-sawing and walking
around the ring of the two combatants,
and there was an almost continuous
cry of "Nyhy don't you fight" Mix it
up there: this amt no rooster fight
what do you dubs think this is. u
walking match?" and the like. The
lighting. however, was fast and furious
enough at times, and altogether, those
who indulge in such exhibitions seemed
satisfied. The decision declared 1t a
draw.
TO further atone for the disappoint-
ment over the Harris-O' Rourke go, a
mix-up of four rounds was arranged
between "Waltah' Johnson and
Mickey German. who announced be-
fore the go that his lighting days was
over"
, This was a serio-comic affair. "Wal-
tah" is some shucks as boxer, and
he had his own un with Mr. Cor
man. The latter, however, drew first
blood. The funny posing of "Mistah
Jonson" gave a comic air to the quasi
tragic proceeding. Three rounds were
sufficient, and any way 1t was train
time for the Carbondalians. 1t was de-
clared a draw and the purse of $4.25
was divided.

round sparring exhibition, between
Coulter and O'Hara, of Scranton.

The conquering ca heroes, the
players of the Honesdale base bal!

are going to be on Duffys field, too.

delson has gotten together a good team
and the afternon ought to be interest
ing. There's no telling how many
thousand Carbondalians will be on the
ground, but there will be few, and
Honesdale is assured the best quality
of fairplay. Being fair is an old habit
that has clung to Carbondalians from
time immemorial.
The lineup of Manager Mendelson's
team is as follows: Meehan. c.; Grif-
fin, p.; A. d. Maynard, 1b.; Murray. 2b.;
NJ. Walsh, IT,; P. Quinn, s.s.; d. Davitt,
c.f.: Flannery, r.f.
Michael Walsh, late of Toronto, a
resident of Mayfield, will be in right
field; Murray and Flannery, of the
Crescents, will be in the game, and the
pitcher will be Griffin. of the semi pro-
fessional team, Scranton. The game
will be called between 2.30 and 3
o'clock.
Honesdale will play the Archibald
team this morning, the game begin
ming at 1915. The rain prevented yes

PANIC AMONG CHILDREN.
Exciting Time Among Pupils in
Mayfield School.

| a small sized panic was caused in the
Mayfed school yesterday afternoon
owing to danger from boilers in the
Erie pump shaft where a fire was rag
ing.
The blaze was discovered at 8 o'clock
by one of the men employed in the
building and the whistle was at once
set in action calling out the fire COM
panes.
The school is located close to the
building and to the rear of where the
large boilers were located. Men rush
ing to the scene spread the report
that the boilers were in danger Of ex-
ploding and the alarm quickly spread
to all sections of the borough.
Parents whose children were at
school rushed to the scene and added
to the terror of the pupils who had
also become aware Of the danger and
were ready to rush in body to the
street.
The mothers gathered up their chill
dren and the dash was made out of the
building. The crowd was punched on
the steps for time but those to the
front ran as soon as the street was
reached and the passage way was
blocked but short time. Hats, coats
and wraps were forgotten in the hasty
exit.
Two fire companies responded to the
alarm and were in action but a short
time when the flames were subdued
and order once again restored in the
borough.
No attempt was made to resume the
session when the danger had been
passed and this morning the pupils will
return the erasers and be equipped with
the parts of their wardrobe left yester-
day in the building.
The damage caused to the building
was but slight. The boilers were not
injured in the least

HERE IS A TREAT.
The Newspaper Men to Play the
Printers-No Bouquets, Please.

The newspaper workers of Carbon
dale, who have been feeding the base
ball public with the news of the ma
tional sport all summer, and who mod
estly claim a little credit for the en-
thusiasm and craze which have hold of
the town, are viciously contemplating
a new role. After mature deliberation
and with malice aforethought they
have decided to plunge bit into the
sport about which they have written
so much. They are going to play ball,
and will let the half million spectators,
who are expected to be on hand, play
bawl.
The nervy opponents OF the modest
newspaper men will be the printers of
Carbondale. Here indeed will be ex-
emplified the power of the press. Per-
haps 1t will be reckless step, but 1t
isn't our fault. The nerve of the plum
bers, the carpenters, the clerks, Abe
Sahm and his "Razorbacks," the Ping
Pongers, the Brokers, ct al, are in a
measure responsible for the leap into
increased public favor into which we
are about to take. We know that the
anxiety of the public is at the boiling
point TO see us losing the ball, losing
our breath and losing our temper and,
possibly, our good name-who knows?
and as we are always pro bono pub
lico. We have consented to throw aside
our maiden modestly and with Chuck
Connors be Johnny the-spot."
Appreciating how this bit OF news
will be received. We beg OF all to send
no flowers this way In advance; save
them until after the game; they win
be quite appropriate at the funeral
services of the printers.
The game is likely to come off on

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT
A Somewhat Sensational Charge Of
Margaret Davidson Against Bert
Brownell--The Latter a Married
Mon

There was surprise akin to SEN
sation last night. when 1t became
known that Bert Brownell, a passen-
ger brakeman on the Delaware and
Hudson, was arrested at the instance
of Miss Margaret Davidson, who all
legged breach of promise to marry her.
Brownell was taken on sheriff's
capias by Constable Moran. yesterday
forenoon. He was unable to provide
bail and was taken to the county Jail,
after several hours confinement in the
city Jail here.
Later in the day, Brownell was for
tunate in having a bondsman come
to his help, and last night he was about
town again.
1t appears that Brownell, who was
married, but is not now living with his
wife, courted the attentions of Miss
Davidson. From the courtship devel-
oped a promise of marriage. SUISSE
quenty Miss Davidson discovered that
Brownell could not keep the promise
he made her, because of his undis-
solved marriage relations, and she ac-
cordingly sought redress for the al
legged damage to her feelings by his
trihing with her affections. The
breach of promise suit. commenced in
Prothonotary COpeland's Office, was the
result.
Brownell is widely known in Carbon
dale The news of his arrest on such
a charge will be a pronounced surprise
and shock to his friends and acquaint-
ances.
The notice of Brownell's marriage to
a girl on Luzerne street, West Scran-
ton, appeared in a Scranton Sunday
paper a few months ago. Brownell,
however, lived in this city, alone; he
boarded at 65 River street, where Miss
Davidson, who sued him, was en-
ployed.
Brownell is no longer employed on
the Delaware and Hudson. He lost
his position as brakeman on Conduc-
tor Knapp's train few days ago.
