Few Deaths in Town.
There have been fewer deaths in
New Castle during the past year than
in any like period of time during my
nineteen years OF experience" said
Funeral Director G. II. Clewell yester-
day afternoon. This speaks well for
the condition Of the town. which will
probably hold its own with almost any
other place Of its size in this section
of the country"
Ice in the River.
The drifting ice i'm the river presents
rare sight as il floats by on the tide.
In appearance it suggests the idea of
a huge moving sidewalk as it is borne
along at the rate Of four or five miles
an hour. Tho boats which put in here
during the cold spell are yet tied up.
although the ice is now thawing to a
considerable extent.
Basketball Tonight.
Great preparations are being made
in local sporting circles for the bas-
lSetball game in the Opera House here
this evening. A big turnout, no doubt,
| will greet the players and encourage
Manager Hance for his enterprise in
Arranging the meeting of the teams.
/ The result OF the game is being await
1 ed with much anxiety. and il is said
that a little coin is being used TO back
up varying opinions.
