Tube WORKS
TAKES GAME

Before a large outpouring of the
faithful at Athletic park Saturday aft.
ernoon, the much talked OF, greatly
praotioed for game between the Dan
vile Stove and Mfg company base ball
team aud the Structural Tubing COM
pany club was pulled off and now ev-
erybody knows that the latter team
walked off with the big end of the scor
ing. Never were two punches OF play
ers more sure of the game before it
started and no trouble nor pains were
taken to prevent the other side from
knowing what they knew. 1t is even
rumored that several OF the newly
miuted Lincoln pennies. with the in
itials on changed hands.
Be that as it may, it was great
game, the spectators taking no little
part in the game. If they wanted
hit the man at the slab simply had to
make it under dire penalty.
Strange to relate, the affecting fare
wells showered on the umpires by
their friends before their departure
for the field, all went tor naught. No
one was killed nor even wounded,
thereby terribly disappointing the
rooters.
During the progress Of the game the
heavy swatters succeeded in breaking
three bats and doing lasting injury to
several balls.
The Structural team scattered to the
grass first. Windy" Mottern on the
mound looked desperate and scared
those Stovemen some. They quickly
recovered and succeeded in pushing
through a run in the first In the sec
oud they brought in another Two
more in the fourth and one in each the
ffsh aud sixth placed the score 6.I.
The lone run was secured by the Tube
works in the second. Then things be-
gan to happen. Tube works swatted
Kid" Myers for fair, the runners cir
oled the bases like well oiled aero
planes and six tallies helped some.
Each side scored two in the seventh.
Tube works one in the eighth and the
Ssovemen one in the ninth giving the
Stove works and Tube works one
better
Two umUiTes, Jones and Baker ran
the game in satisfactory manner.
Shortstop Murphy and Lehman at first
played a rattling good game for Stove
works. Owens did some nifty fiinging
for Tube works. Price made good be-
hind the bas.
About four hundred fans deposited
dime apiece for the benefit Of the Dan
willie Athletic association.

COUNCIL APPEALS
TO DIR. DIXON

The councilmanic committee on
sewers while investigating conditions
along the canal has made the startling
discovery, that the hospital IS dis
charging sewage into the ola water
way, whence the foul aud disease
breeding matter finds its way into the
very heart of the borough.
The conditions are regarded as so ser
ious and the necessity of applying a
remedy so urgent that the committee
on sewers and the president OF cCuu-
Gil will journey forthwith to Harris
burg and lay the matter before Dr.
Samuel g. Dixon, State commissioner
of health.
y full report was made to council
at the special meeting, Monday night,
when prompt and decisive action Was
taken. Following the report presented
to council at che last regular meeting
Friday night, which revealed that the
old canal had become so foul ami poi
sonous that large fish were dying by
the score, the chairman of the Com
IN ittee on sewers visited the spct in
person and found conditions even
worse than reported. The other mem
bers of the committee subsequently,
visited the canal. On one OF tho VISITS
to the vicinity Of the hospital grounds
a leading physician of Dauvllle &C
compauied the party and bears wit
ness to the deplorable conditions that
prevail.
The matter as reported to council
at the special meeting Monday night
was to the effect that at present, while
alterations on the sewer system are on
foot, for intervals OF greater or less
length. sewage is discharged into the
stream of water west of the grounds
on which this receiving reservoir is
located-that this sewage finds its
way directly into the Old canal, where
it helps to befoul the already impure
and stagnant water
The committee was positive on this
point The sewage comes FROM son e
parts of the institution. 1t is essential
~ sewage and contains frag neuts OF
bed sheets, towels aud the like. Iu ad-
dition acids from the wards-chlorld
of lime and other disinfectauts
present in the water aud 1t is unduubt-
edly these agencies that are killing
the fish. Until the fact was discovered
that sewage, with the poisons named,
was draining into the canal it was
difficult to account for the tishs dy
ing, as stagnant and impure water in
itself is nos sufficiens to kill fish
The matter was discussed for nearly
an hour Monday night, when on mot
ion it was ordered that the commit
tee on sewers composed of Messrs.
EverhaIt, Connolley, Deutsch and
lies, accompanied by Andrew
Schatz. president of council, pay a
visit to Harrisburg and lay the whole
matter before Commissioner of Health
DR.. Dixon, asking him 30 advise the
borough how to proceed in order TO
get rid of the canal, or at least how
to bring about an abatement OF che
nuisance caused by draining sewage
into the canal.
On motion 1T was also ordered that
the committee lay the matter before
William f. Meehen, State commission
er OF fisheries, who, it is believed,
will be induced to take a hand in or
der 30 prevent the killing of Dish

more difficult, St. James Budget
opines, to find material for such 4
story as follows
At the end OF a political campaign
many years ago a young man who had
worked valiantly for the successful
candidate claimed a reward. The
prize promised was sergeantcy In the
artillery. But the candidate found that
he was unable to carry out his prom
ise, inasmuch as 1t required six years
service to qualify a man for the rank.
He became thoughtful, but finally saw
light.
"Does 1t require six years to qualify
a man for lieutenancyT he asked
one who knew.
Certainly not" was the reply.
"Well, make young Blank lieuten-
ant, then" said the candidate. with a
sigh Of relief.
Blank was thus made lieutenant
for no other reason than that he was
not ft to be a sergeant.

been subject to taxation, but have even
been made the subject of special laws.
Thus in Henry Wis reign none was

2s. Sd. Some compensation, however,
for this Interference with free trade
