High mass was celebrated at St
Peters cathedral yesterday morning at
1880 o'clock for the first time since
the hot weather set in. Rev. j. A.
O'Reilly, rector of the cathedral, was
celebrant; Rev. Lalor b. Mclaughlin,
deacon, and Rev. Matthew Brown, subs

Bishop Iloban was present during
the mass and preached the sermon, lie
spoke on the gospel of the day, which
deals With Christ'S dinner with the
chief of the Pharisees, to which he
was invited that he might be trapped
into a violation of the Sabbath law.
Christ was invited to this dinner, the
bishop said. that he might be watched
and trapped. Man Is continually be-
ing watched the reverend speaker
went on to say and 1t behooves him to
act accordingly. He is watched in the
bosom of his family; he is watched in
the household of the faithful, and he
is watched by those outside his fold.
His conduct should always be such as
will not only bear scrutiny but be ex-
emplary. 1t is not sufficient. he said.

In view of the countless number of
first class amateur and seni-profes-

Honesdale Olyphant, Montrose and
Susquehanna. Each team to employ
home talent or players who are pro-
vided with positions in each town.
Games to be played Wednesdays, Sat-
urdays and holidays
An excellent schedule could be ar
ranged. with easy jumps. at compare
lively little expense, and the guarantee
would be in keeping with the receipts
Of the game. Popular prices should pre-
vail.
The interest created would be wide
spread. and some excellent players
would be developed There is plenty Of
good material to select from in each
town. The suggestion is offered by W.

always taken deep interest in the
Communications, looking forward to
the organization of such a league, from

DREAD OF LITIGATION
DROVE Her TO DEATH
Mrs. Anna Merrill Took a Dose of
Carbolic Acid-Case Was to Come
Up in Court Tomorrow.

Mrs. Anna Merrill, widow of the late
A. j. Merrill. ended her life yesterday
afternoon at o'clock by taking two
ounces of carbolic acid. She was
prompted to the deed by worry over a
case in court.
BY the will of her husband, who was
formerly in the clothing business in
this city, she was left his whole estate,
amounting to about $4,000. Her hus-
bands brothers contested the will al
leging that undue influence had been
used to make her his sole heir, and also
that the decedent was lacking testa-
mentary capacity at the time the will
was made.
The hearing in the contest was to
take place before Judge Vosburg in Or
phans' court, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
For several days past she has ex-
pressed dread OF the ordeal of going in
to court and yesterday was so worked
up over the approach of the hearing
that 1t was feared she would be i'll.
About o'clock Mrs. f. G. Smith. a
relative, with whom she lived at No.
l42O Pine street. proposed they should
go out for walk and Mrs. Merrill ac-
quisced. Mrs. Merrill went to the bath
room and was there only few minutes
when Mrs. Smith heard her fall and
begin to moan.
Reaching the bath room, Mrs. Smith
discovered Mrs. Merrill writhing in
agony on the floor. She told what she
had done and said she wanted to die.
DR.. Splitter and DR.. Gibbons were
CALLED but cOuld not save her She ey-
pired in the course of an hour. A vial
which had contained the acid was
found in the bath room.
1t had been purchased the day before
in neighboring drug store. The de-
ceased was forty-six years of age and
the third wife of Mr.. Merrill. She was
the daughter of Mrs Jonas Berninger
of Catawissa.
Coroner Saltry was notified but did
not regard an inquest as necessary.

REDS WERE OUTCLASSED
They Were Moved Down by the
Scranton Semi Professionals on
Saturday at the Park.

The Taylor Reds were outclassed by
the Scranton i-professionals at
Athletic park. Saturday afternoon,
when Manager Wirth tried out his new
pitcher Bray. of the Green Ridge
Amateurs. The youngster made good
in every department of the game, and
seems to possess good speed, has plenty
of curves, uses his head effectively, and
fields his position properly. He shut
out the Reds and allowed them but
three hits. two of which We're made
after he had chance to retire the side.
Only two men walked and he struck
out six men. Brays error was on a
low thrown ball to first, allowing the
runner to advance to second.
Touhill had an off day, both at the
bat and in the field. The first two trips
times hit safely. He erred on his first
and fourth chances. but each time got
his men on second and first.
Franis erred on hard hit ball, which
he stopped cleverly, but afterwards
booted away from him. Touhill was
caught between first and second, and
also failed to touch second, and was
called out on each play.
FeIIlS leu Will t1e SUCK, naVlnS
three singles out of four times up. All
of the team played fast, snappy ball,
and some very pretty plays resulted.
Their base running was also a feature.
The Reds We're never in the hunt,
only two men reaching third base, and
only three men went to bat in each
inning, except the third and sixth in
nings. In the latter Philbn reached
first on Touhill's error, but was doubled
at second on Shields out at first. Then
Hayes hit a hot one directly at Bray,
who failed to recover himself in time
to put the batter out. After that Man.
gan singled. but both were left on bases
by Morris flying out to center. Had
Bray succeeded in throwing Hayes out
at first, but one hit would have been
the sum total Of the Reds stick work.
Their throwing and fielding was very
ragged, most of their errors being made
on such plays Mangan in center field
could not stop a ball or throw and
assisted in making Scranton runs. Nor
rs Ingliss and Shields also fielded
recklessly. Davis at first was also
weak on receiving thrown balls. Left
fielder Day made three pretty running
catches. With a better team behind
him, Shields is capable of much better
work than the score indicates.
I'm the seventh the whole Scranton
team was at bat. Crane went out on a
fly to left field. Madenspacher reached
first on Ingliss' error. Francis, Touhill,
Owens and McCue hit safely, scoring
three runs: Ferris struck out, Wirth
reached first on four wide ones, and
Bray forced him out at second. Sew
eral hundred people witnessed the
game. Following is the detailed score:

A TRIP,

On last Monday. W. W. Best
 and little daughter Ruth and the
 writer left for Judsonia to hear
 Davis, Miers and Grooves. Cir cumstances were such that Gov.
 Davis could not be present, SO Congressman Brundidge spoke in his place.
 MT. Miers made nice little speach accusing democracy of stealing public school funds. That if he were Governor, he would make turnpikes out off every road in Arkansas. he would build state house of marble, granite and stone; all from Arkansas ma terial; he would tickle the feet of angels and have birds to sing sweet harmony to the citizens.
 MT. Brundidge made a tellingl speech although a rain storm was in progress during the time. He told MT. Miers he could make any kind of promises for he would never be called upon to fulfill them. MT. Brundidge did Harry up in little brown rag expressed him to Boston, Mass, along with our Governor dark ey.

We will say that a paper can t any more be democratic while denouncing it's nominees, than donkey can be admitted into lsociety, although he has learned to sit with ease in a rocker or use his ears for an electric fan. If the News articles are measly" and only look well in the News, how is it that the Commercial Appeal decorated a whole column of it's valuable Sun day edition with it's clippings? Why is it better patronized than any other prper in the county? Because it is DEMOCRATIC. What have you ever written that the editor of the Appeal deemed worthy of space in the best pa per of the south?

A FEW QUESTIONS.

What is a democ rat? What is nominee? What should be the attitude of democrat toward a nominee? Don t you consider a man, who claims to be a demo
 crat, a traitor when he does more for the party's adversary than he does for his own party or it's opponents? Is a traitor safe for people to listen too or read after or in any manner cOuntenance? If not, then I say every paper m Arkansas that is in anyway hampering the cause of democracy under democratic cloaks, are traitors and I have less respect for them politically

McCauley is a man after our own liking, religiously, politi- cally and every other way. He admires Jeff Davis for saying the honest promptings of his soul unhampered by rings and all polititical machinery; A Jeff Da- wis without any ifs or may bes about him.
 On Saturday, MT. Best and I drove to Searcy. While there, we visited the county officials. the two printing offices and every thing of interest. We met MT. J Marsh, who holds responsible position with Robbins, Sanford & Co.,. and without being asked, subscribed for the Peoples Pop ular Paper.
 There was but one thing that in the least bothered us and that was an editorial in the Searcy Times throwing slurs at our no- minee for governor. We shall refer the Times man to oth- CT asticles in this weeks News.

In measly attempt to appear funny, as he did the week he got his namefn the Commercial Ap- peal. theleditor of the News takes up little anecdote that was re- latedfn the last issue of the Free Press and dwells upon it from the time God Almighty in his wisdom made man in his own image" until "our friend (Free Press) has discovered an unpar- donable mistake in the handi- work of Diety." Considering the quality of the articles that have heretofore appeared in the News this is brilliant piece of journa- lism, and no doubt the editor thinks he has scored great hit.

The Meredith Killing.

On last Sunday night, Jim Me Kle and Henry Thompson were going toward Meredith. It is said that Jim threatened to whip Henry Simmons, who lives at Meredith. The Simmons family had long since retired when this pair came along.
 Simmons was invited out and then Henry whipped Jim twice. Then McKie started to Simmons the third time and Thompson helped McKie and hit Simmons on the head with stone. Then pulled out his knife and made fol Simmons. This was soon stopped by Henry's brother using his shot gun just at this critical mo. ment, thus killing Thompson and saving his brothers life.
 MT. Gipson of Augusta arrest ed young Simmons and placed him in jail at Augusta to await the action of the grand jury.
