BLAST DROPS
ROCK In HOUSE

An explosion, the result of a blast
ing operation at the quarries, Four
teenth and Pine streets, by the Del
aware Granite and Mining Company,
on Saturday, resulted in a stone
weighing at least twenty pounds
crashing through the roof of the home
of Herman Manson, No. 70S Vandever
avenue. The stone was found on the
floor of the sitting room in, the second
story, in the rear part of the house.
The floor was covered with plaster and
had the appearance of having been
struck by a cyclone.
The explosion shocked Mrs. Manson
so badly that she was compelled to
take to her bed and DR.. Charles H.
Bennum was summoned.
An official of the Delaware Granite
and Mining Company today stated
that the quarries were in charge Of p.
Cherry, who is considered one of the
most expert quarrymen in this section
of the country having spent twenty
four years in the business. The or
ders issued at the quarry are that but
three batteries shall be set off at one
time and it was thought that Satur-
days heavy explosion was due to
sparks igniting the switches of the
other six when the three were set
off.
/ The blast was about twenty feet
from the facing of rock, about seventy
feet in height and beyond this are
houses on Vandever avenue.
Continuing, the official said that ex-
ira precautions are taken at the quar-
ries and II was an unavoidable acci-
dent. The damage done to the Manson
house will be repaired by the COM
pany operating the quarry, arrange
ments for this having been made this
morning.

Oysters

For committing an aggravated as

the court he went into Krego's store
at Front and jefferson streets on Sat

oysters. At this he says he went out
Of the store. Battelli. he alleged,
pushed him from the steps and struck
at him. Krego. he said, kicked him
twice i'm the abdomen.
Kelley was walking with a cane
because of having had an operation
performed upon his abdomen recently.
When the case was first called Krego
was the only defendant, but Judge
Cochran ordered that a warrant he
sworn out for Battelh The court sem
fenced Krego to ninety days impris-
onment, and Battelli to thirty days in
the Workhouse.

COMPARES BALL
WITH LIES GAME
Pastor Cunningham Tells Youth
How They May Succeed
in Each

In Eastlake Presbyterian Church
last evening, the Rev. Henry Cunning
ham preached a special sermon to
young men on Winning the Game. 4"
The text was 1 Cor. 9: "a. know ye
not that they which run in race
run all. but one receiveth the prize?
So run. that ye may obtain" In part
Mr.. Cunningham said:
Games have from the earliest
times been "A part of life. The Ancient
Jews were skilled i'm archery and the
sling. The left-handed Beniaminites
could throw stones at a hair breath
and not miss"
"To the Greeks we must look for
the earliest form and fullest develop
ment of ancient games. Back as far
as 776 B. c., we read of the great
Olympiod The Greeks were skilled
in running, leaping, throwing the dis
Gus, hurling the javelin, wrestling and
boxing. The Roman games soon de-
generated into the Roman circus, with
theatrical shows and feasts. Crimi-
mails were made to fight with wild
beasts to please the multtudes.
"At present nearly every country
has its national game; cricket In Eng
land. golf in Scotland; full fight in
Spain and baseball in the United
States"
Mr.. Cunningham, who played base
ball at college, then pointed out three
essentials for winning the game.
They were:
First. Play together The team
may be composed Of stars, but must
have team work to win. $50 in the
game Of life. in order to win
you must play together with Christ.
This means faith in Him as your
Saviour and Conquerer" the speaker
said.
Second. Self control. The Greeks
trained ten months for their con-
tests. Paul says. I keep my body
under To be the master Of self all
/ bad habits must be cut off. Baseball
is a game Of brain as we'll as brawn.
/ So II is essential to be calm and al
ways in control of self In the game
of life TO win now and hereafter we
must be a self master.
Third Sacrifice. Many a game
has been won by sacrifice hits. So TO
win in life's game one must sacrifice
what possibly gives some measure Of
pleasure, but what is a wrong and a
sin. Play the game we'll and arrive
home at last through Christ.
Special music was furnished by the
male quartet of the church and How
ell Pipino. The baseball team Of the
church which now leads the Church
League. was present at the service.
