Ross played better ball yesterday than

His sensational running catch of a
foul fly in the fourth inning ELECTED
great applause. Yordy in left field

that usually would have been good for
two OF three bases.

Pathetic Scene Enacted.

Twas a pathetic scene which oc-
day morning.in in which wayward son,
Officer Beishline, the boys mother and
father, together with much picturesque
language interminglud. The son WAS
evidently from the rural districts and
had arrived in Berwick on the first
train and had evidently imbibed too
freely for about ten O'Clock he was
found by OFFICER Beishline utterly un-
able to control his movements. Being
conducting him to the lock- when
his mother who was waiting at the Y
NJ 9. a. espied him IN the street and
running out begged in pleading tones,
that touched the hearts of the by
ISLANDERS, that her son be not lodged i'll

and she would promise that it would
be the last Her husband then joined

they would take him Immediately
home, ho would release him. The wo-
man, who would have been match
for many a pugilist, with words more
forceful than elegant prophcsying
what would be in store for the young
man when they reached the farm, pro-
ceeded to conduct him to wagon
This was no small task as the lad had

succeeded in oscorting him in the

turned aud after giving vent to her
feelings upon the police, the persons
responsible for the boy 5 condition and
then upon the boy himself proceeded
home, stopping once in awhile in her
conversation to remind the Young man
with no gentle force that hereafter
when the folks went away ho was to

To Light Cars by Electricity.

Electric lights are TO be substituted
for gas illumination in all passenger
coaches on the Pennsylvania railroad
With view to making this change
the company is now conducting ser
les of experiment, To overcome somo
of the obstacles which long delayed
the installation of electric lights over
its entire system. Two coaches equip
ped with light power are in constant
use on express trains running between
pittsburg, Philadelphia and Jersey
City. On each of these cars are car
ried expert electricians who are max
ing close study of the entire work
ing machinery OF the light plant,
which gains its power from a genera
tor installed upon the truck and driven
from the axle.
Electric light for luxurious Pullman
and private cars has long been possible
aud in use, but to keep III operation u
system on thousands of day coaches Is
dllbStllltI dlOliltI JTbbltul.
Pennsylvania officials are reluctant
TO talk of their plans, although ii Is
known that year ago an appeal was
made to the Edison Manufacturing
Company and other electric lighting
companies TO provide an equipment
that would be practicable for so ex
tensive a system.
That confidence is shown i'll the re-
salts already obtained is indicated by
tricians in every terminal construction
yard to familiariZe themselves with
the operation of an electric lighting
system for passenger coaches. Every
passenger coach now being built in
the shops of the company in Philadel
phia, Jersey City, Altoona and Pitts
burg is wired for electric lights in ad-
dition to the illuminating gas iu-
stallation.
1t is understood that the Pennsyl-
yania officials are not satisfied with
the electric system which it is now
utilizing eXperimentally. This con
sists of "A consolidated axle light sys-
TEN Tho generator located ON the
truck, is driven by belt from
wheel attached to the axle, whence
the power is transmitted through
regulator, located III the interior of
the car, and to storage battery hung
in box from the car.
The system the company is aiming
at is a modification in the battery
construction Instead of the light
power being generated from truck
of each car it is desired To have the
supply motor made part OF the
locomotive from which the batteries
could also he charged while the train
is in motion, obviating any delay and
resulting in the saving in the cost OF
installation.

FIREMEN'S OUTING

went out at all journeycd to the park
Tho weather was not of the ideal sort
favorable for picnics. With the therm-
ometer little above 60 degrees sun

than the cool shade OF the grove. Dur
ing the afternoon the weather became
threatening ana once it actually rain

Notwithstanding, there was big
number coming and going at the park
during the day heing little, if any,
less than two thousand. There was
ample entertainment for all, thanks to
the forcthought and industry of the

merry go-round, on the swings, on the
pavilion, where dancing was in pro
gress, thero was something doing

in progress. Dinner aud supper were
partaken OF at the park, the big army
of picnickers at meal time resolving
itself into little groups each OF which
surrounded well-flIed table.
Few of the contests came Off, owing
to the lack of entries The running
race was won by Arthur Williams
The creased pig chase, which was won
by George Ashton, was the most anus
ing event of the day. When the pork
or was let loose four contestants dash

INSANE GIRL
FOUGHT ON TRAIN

Danville hospital for the insane from
her home in Philipsburg, Friday,
created considerable excitement along
the route. Between Williamsport and
Halls station she became SO excited
that it required several men to hold
her ON the Reading car. 1t Is report
ed from Philipsburg that the insanity
of the young woman was the result of
an experience with "a fortune teller.
Miss Love is young woman Of nice
appearance, we'll dressed, and of owl

in WiliamspOrt at noon over the

which leaves Williamsport at 80
O'Clock i'm the afternoon she was
brought to Danville She was accom-
panied by relatives. Shortly after
leaving the WiIliamsport station she
became very much excited. and before
ants had the greatest trouble holding
her. Her screams and struggles caused
great excitement in the car, which was
filled with men, women and children.
She was finally suhdued.
At Jersey Shore, on the Beech Crock
train, the Young woman's attendants
had a struggle with her which was
repeated at various points. Her case
is very sad one, more particularly
because of the origin of her trouble.

found it necessary to remove her TO an
