A High Bred Horse.

Mr.. T. E. Hyde has established a
horse breeding farm at Edgemon t.,
Grovania station. Among his recent
purchases is Sildare, No. 276I2. prob
ably horse of the best-strain ever
brought to this section.
In his breeding he has three crosses
of Mambrino King and two of Chimes,
and the Chimes, Mambrino King Nick
is now recognized as the greatest cross
in the history of breeding. Chimes has
to his credit three fastest trotters ever
sired by one horse. Mambrino King
has three faster trotters than have ever
been sired by any other stallion than
Chimes. Each have eight in the 2.Io
list and no stallion has ever produced
eight performers whose average time
equals the average of the performers
of either Chimes or Mambrino King.
Moreover Mambrino King was said
to be "the handsomest horse IN the
world" and the greatest show horse
of his time. Sildare is in color and
markings like his grandslre, Mambrino
King, and in head and neck is nearly
like him. Sildare is very dark chest
nut, coming 4 years old in cJune, and
will make horse of about I6 hands
and weighing about 1850 to 1900.
He is handsome, stylish and splendid
ly gated. With our prosperous busi-
ness conditions over the entire country
more and more men are enabled to
indulge their fancy for a fine horse,
and an extra fine one commands al
most a kings ransom. Thomas w.
Lawson, who paid Mr.. c. J. Hamlin
$4,000 for Dare Devil 0he sire of
Sildare), said in recent article that
he would pay $1,000 apiece for all the
perfect road horses he could get. He
also says he expects Dare Devil to be
the greatest sire of his time in pro-
duc,ng the highest type of perfec: road
horses.

Fondness for Stage, Led to Poverty.

Rather comely of face, but diminu-
tive in form, girl, to all appearances
not over IS years of age and giving
her name as Name Wlnster, appeared
in town Monday evening. She had
sbeen lured from her home in Halle
ton. SO she said, last fall by the glitter
Of the footlghts, and she wanted to
obtain work to get money to go home.
Just how she reached Bloomsbury
she did not state, but in all probabil-
ity she worked, her appearance seem.
ed to indicate as much, at least.
Her story was the same old theme,
in minor key. A talent for singing
rag time, popular in amateur thea,ric-
ais, an ambition to shine before the
footlights, good, comfortable home
forsaken, designing theatrical mana
gers, disappointment, distress and
despair.
1t appears that since she left home
her lot has been hard one. She
has tried company after company but
failure followed failure, until she de-
cided to find employment in some
other line, and go back to her old
home. She left Bloomsbury Tues
day morning.

Duy read the testimony of Levan
given at the coroner's inquest in
which he said that on the morning
McAndrews was found he had been
in Honabach's place. He admitted
having taken several drinks with
McAndrews and that he left before
McAndrews and went to Charles
Kushops blacksmith shop. He had
never seen McAndrews before that
day. He did not see any money
other than that which was thrown
on the bar in payment for drinks.
Monroe Rape was the first to tell
him of the finding of McAndrews.
which was about fifteen minutes
after he had left the hotel. From
the blacksmith shop he went to
Ringtown where he had some busi-
ness.
The last witness was J. c. Nc
Kelvy,.a detective, in the employ
of the Linden Detective Agency of
Philadelphia. He testified that he
was familiar with the spot where
McAndrews was found. BY the
road it was not quite a half mile
from the hotel. He had walked it
in eight minutes. BY the railroad
it was over half mile and through
the brush. He said a person could
easily reach it by way of the black
smith shop and the railroad. He
walked it in fourteen minutes. Mr.
Ikeler cross examined the witness.
He said that he had been employed
by District Attorney Duy and had
been working on the case for five
weeks. He met Levan the secord
day after he arrived at Aristes in
Honabach's saloon. TO the ques-
ton, HAS Levan ever made any
statement concerning the murder"
he answered, che has never made
any statement to me-" HAS he
ever made any statement to you
concerning his whereabouts that
morning." mo sir"
This closed the testimony and
Fred lkeler, counsel for Levan
moved for discharge on the ground
that the commonwealth had failed
to make out case against the
prisoner.
Grant Herring for the common
wealth said that they had connected
Levan with the crime in a manner
sufficient to warrant the Justice in
holding him. The Justice con-
CURED and the prisoner was re-
committed to the custody of the
Sheriff to await trial at the Septem-
Der term of court.

BASE BALL.

In the second game with Normal
on Thursday afternoon William
sport again took the school boys
into camp. The visitors scored in
only one inning but it proved
enough to win the game. McCabe
was on the slab for Normal and
barring the third inning in which
he was touched up for five hits he
pitched good ball. Hasset was the
twirler for Williamsport and his
work was all to the good. He had
the incest delivery of any pitcher
seen here in many a day. He had
the locals hitting at all sorts of
things and the accumulation of six
safe ones was the best they could
do. The work of Hummel stood
out as the brightest thing in the
game. The score follows:
Normal O-I-I-I-O.o-2-o-O-
Williamsport o-o-S-o-o-o o-o-o-8
NORMAL 8, FREELAND TIGERS l..
The game on Saturday with the
Freeland Tigers was the best of the
season and was won by Normal
through Shafer's mastery pitching.
He had good speed and repertoer
Of benders that puzzled the coal
barons. Normal's play showed a
marked improvement over previous
games. The score by innings:

YESTERDAYS GAME.
1t wasn't Umpire Sherwood's S
fault that Normal didn't win yes
terday's game with the Cuban Gil
ants. He gave weird exhibition
but the colored fellows took the
roasting good naturedly and kept
the crowd laughing by their funny
remarks. The locals took the lead
in the first inning and held it till
the ninth when the Cubans by
batting streak won out.
Marcy tried to cover the left
garden territory but made lamen-
table failure. Manager Sutliff
should look over the material on
the second team and mend this hole
in the outfeld.
The crowd yesterday was the
largest of the season. The same
teams play again today.

have plenty ofmoney. He display
ed twenty dollar bill and some
other money where everybody |
could see it. He took the money
from his pay envelope and after set
telling for the drinks put it back in
his pocket. Levan, he said left a
few minutes before McAndrews
upon the statement that he had
worked all night and was going
home to sleep. On cross-examina-
tion he said he would not be posi-
tive about the exact time the men
had left his hotel but that it was to
the best of his Knowledge.
The testimony of William Hona-
bach was a corrobor alton of that of
his brother. McAndrews, he said
took two or three drinks and a
cigar. He was apparently under

Daniel Roach, a saloon keeper,
testified that he had sold Mean
drews three drinks. lie wanted
more but he refused to give it to
him. He saw Levsn and Mean
| drews come out of the Honabach
Hotel. Levan preceded McAndrews
by few minutes but the two went
in different directions.
DR.. Gwinner was recalled to the
witness stand and asked by Fred
Ikeler, counsel for Levan, whether
or not he had found anything be-
side the club with which the blows
might have been struck, to which
| he replied that he had not.
| Monroe Rape was the next wit
ness called. He found McAndrews
along the road between ten and
eleven o'clock on the morning of
March goth. The exact point was
about fifty yards from the summit
of the hill between Montana and
! Centralia. In the road near the
body he found a cap, a five cent
piece and club. McAndrews was
lying face downward with his feet
toward CentralIa. There was some
blood in the middle of the road.
| He and Kostenbauder who was
| with him, went to Centralia and
notified Squire Black.
John Knittle, of Montana, testi-
fed that on the morning Mean

Fetzer and John Started were shoot
ing mark along the railroad. He
saw Levan come from the direction
where McAndrews was found. This
to the best of his knowledge was
about eleven o'clock. Mrs. Minear
met them after they started toward
Centralia and told them that a man
had been found along the road. On
cross examination he did not know
from what direction Levan had
come. When they met Levan had
asked to see his gun and that was
all he could remember.
Frank Fetzer testified that he
had only seen Levan when the lat
ter called to him from the railroad.
John Started testified that he
first saw Levan coming up the
railroad track from the direction of
| Centralia.
Thomas Quigley Of Centralia took
the witness stand next He stated
that on Thursday after the finding
of McAndrews he went to the scene
and found piece of wagon brake
which he identified. The one end
of it was covered with blood and

said that Turrance Burke had
picked up the iron and had given
