GOULDSBORO.

An early Sunday morning boating
accident in which three of our well
known young people and a young
lady from Scranton figured, narrow
ly escaped a fatal termination. In
endeavoring to push the boat away
from the stone wall of the reservoir
the two young ladies, who were
standing, lost their balance, the boat
capsiZed, and they were thrown into
fourteen feet of water. But for the
rare presence of mind of their es-
corts who plunged in after them
they would have been drowned. AS
it was one young lady went down
twice, and was resuscitated with
difficulty. The young people, save
for the severe nervous shake-up, are
none the worse for their narrowing
experience.

 PITCHING STAFF OF DOVES

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 2s--It is re- ported that Manager Fred Lake of the Boston National Club and Man ager Fred Clarke of the Pirates have concluded an arrangement whereby Pitchers Vic Willis. Sam Leever and Deacon Phillippi will change their baseball addresses from Pittsburg to Boston within the next few days
 This came up when the matter or the transfer of these three men to Cincinnati was talked of. Manager Grifflth said he had enough good pitchers to last. that Clark had tried to sell them to him at the recent meeting. but they could reach no agreeable grounds
 Phillippi is the man who helped cut almost every pitcher for Pitts burg in the worlds championship series; Leever. has played so long with the Pirates that he seems to have grown there, and Vic Willis has been one of the steadiest players Pittshurg has ever known
 Local men say the Bostons need tftchers above everything else and that Lake has fully decided to take willis and Phillippi off the Pirates hands.

He made the statement in response to one given out by Rickard, who seems to feel sure the light will be staged In the Utah city
