living, they being John DMmmond and

Harry Brown and wife, of Cherry Hill,
on the other; also all of their great
grandparents on their father's side. they
being John II. Willis and wife. of Apple

that both great-grantl-f fathers are exactly
the same age, born on November 3TI, ,

them. They have all of their great aunts
and unclcS living. Also all first lncles

TRI-S7ATE LEAGUE IS
AGAINST WILMINGTON
Local Club May Withdraw
on Account Of Treatment
Received

There seems to be conspiracy
against the Wilmington A. A. baseball
team on the part of the Tri-State
League and unless things are changed
1t is probable the local team will with
draw from the association.
At the meeting I'm Harrisburg on
Sunday when a new schedule was made
out Wilmington was not considered.
This schedule compels the A. A. club
to play away from home every Satur-
day after July a. Such action on the
part Of the league which is evidently
operated by one man, w. Q. Farms
worth. of HARRISBURG the president
who is also president of the Harris
burg A. c., win mean big loss Of
money to the owners of the local club
The meeting on Sunday was cut
and dried affair, ana no attention was
paid to the protests Of Alexander stir
Eth. president of the A. A. club, against
the unjust schedule
The new schedule which was adopted
means that the local club must play
away from home three Saturdays dur
ing the height of the season. The in
Justice Of this move on the part Of the
league is evident from the fact that
~ mum sum - ANN DNoL Rh9AhH AAAe AAi
the league and especially on satur-
days.
The protest Of Wllliamsport, who was
to play here on Labor Day. was listen
ed to and granted but President Stir
lith made a kick against the playing
away from home three Saturdays in
July, but no attention was paid to him.
Whether the local club will abide by
this action is uncertain at present.
Manager Jess NJ. Frysinger is bitterly
opposed to doing So owing to the man
ner i'm which the affairs of the team
are being run this season his hands are
tied. Those who are acquainted with
his business methods realize how he
feels in the matter. The board Of di-
rectors of the A. A. club last night were
not prepared to make a definite state
ment, and it is not known what action
they will take.
| Local fans are incensed at the action
Of the league. and they declare that the
team should withdraw from the asso-
ciation which is evidently trying "a
work a freeze-out game. The new
schedule will without a doubt serve as
blow to baseball I'm this city, and il
appears to be the unanimous opinion
that the club would be far better of
outside the league than i'm it.
Some talk was heard last night rela-
tive to the local club entering the East.
ern League. and developments are eX-
pected within a few DAYS.

capital was S125,0O0. and II had among
its assets S1,O1s.OO0 in loans, discounts,
stocks and securities and 100000 in

Following so closely the run on the

that the bank had been closed was a

iMsN scALpEp TO DEATH.
Fifteen Penned In Boiler Room on q
French Cruiser.

San Francisco, June 2S.-The steam
er Mariposa. from Tahiti. brings news
of the scalding to death of fifteen men
who were penned in the boiler room Of
the French cruiser Durance while the
warship was on her way from Papeiu
to Noumea recently.
The captain fully realized their fate,
but was helpless to save them. While
he and other officers and men of the
crew who were on deck knew that
their comrades were dying down be-
low, it was not within their power to
do anything but wait till the end came.
One of the boilers Of the cruiser had
exploded and had filled the boiler
room with superheated steam that
meant doom for every man in the com
partment. Those that started to the
rescue were driven back blinded.
The shrieks of the men dying in ago
ny came up TO them with clouds OF
killing steam, but not a man could go
below until many minutes had passed,
and then all Of the fifteen who were in
the boiler room at the time Of the ex-
plosion were dead. every man scalded
almost beyond recognition.
The last reports received by French
officials at Tahiti were to the effect
that the warship had made Noumea in
safety and Captain Roseier. who was
prostrated by the disaster, was sick on
shore

A JAMAICA HORROR.
Hhirty-three Men Killed While Work
ina In a Water Main.

Kingston. Jamaica, June 2S-Thirty-
three persons have been killed by an
accident which took place near Span.
ish Town, ten miles west of Kingston.
in the main conduit OF the West India
Electric company, which operates the
street cars from Kingston and the
shareholders Of which are principally
Canadians.
Nearly a hundred laborers had been
detailed to remove the sand from the
enormous pipe. which is a mile long
and which conveys water from the in
take on the Rio Cobre to the turbines
of the power house. The work had
practically been completed when or
ders were given to allow a small guam
tity Of water TO enter the conduit.
Through misrepresentation, accident or
carelessness the full force of water
was turned on, and a mad struggle to
escape by means Of the manholes en-
sued. with the result that thirty-three
persons were killed.
The tragedy has cast a gloom over
the colony. and a rigid investigation
into the cause is now in progress.
