The record OF the Archibald base ball
club for the season of 1908 was very
sreditable one, and well sustains the
claim of that club as Amateur Cham
pions. Out of Al games played, all of
them with strong teams, Archibald won
80 and lost IL, giving them winning
percentage of 1872. Honesdale and the
= Catasauqua semi-professionals, about
half of whose members were Wayne
county boys, were the only clubs to take
o series from them during the season.
. Out of the % games pitched by "Willie"
Dougher, he lost only 8.
There will be a public meeting at
the court house in Honesdale on the
evening of February 18th next, to COM

birth of Abraham Lincoln. A dstin-
guished speaker is expected from out of
town. There will be vocal and instru-
mental music by choir and orchestra.
! Other features will make an interesting
programme. The affair is in the h inds
Of committee of the ladies of Capt.
4 James Ham Post, assisted by commit
I Zee of leading citizens. Admission will
be free.

jerome Cuperman, Hebrew ped
dler residing in Port Jervis, with his
wife and four children, was foully mur-
dered on Friday night, Jan. Sth, about
a quarter of mile below that city. The
mutilated body was discovered at eight
O'Clock Saturday morning where it had
been thrown over fence at the road
side. The peddler had been absent from
home for two weeks selling his wares in
New Jersey, and when attacked was re.
turning to his home on foot with pack
on his back. It is evident that fierce
struggle occurred between the peddler
and his assailant or assailants, but he
was finally overpowered and after q
number of stab wounds had been in
dicted in various parts of his body, and
his head had been nearly crushed by
some instrument the body was hurled
over the fence. The sheriff at once sci
about finding the murderer, and there
is little room for doubt that he has sue
ceeded in his quest. Henry Brink, OF
Montague, N. j., is being detained in
Goshen Jail, nominally as a witness, but
actually rs the assassin, and such a web
ofcircumstantial evidence is being woven
about him ~ seems TO render his conVic-
sicn certain when he is put upon hisstrial.
