Basketball is Booming.
The Shepherd College basketball team
defeated the Massanutton Academy boys
the terrors of the upper valley-last
Thursday night in All easy contest by a
score of 43 10 10. Saturday night we
played the crack Fairmont team, which
was just tritle too heavy for US, the VS.
itors winning by score of Is TO 10. 1t
was the first defeat for Shepherd College
and il was mighty hard game TO lose.
The Falrmonters claim to be the CHAM
pion normal school team in West Virgin
ia. and we reckon well have TO let them
have the honor-for the present. But
our boys surely gave them a run for their
money Saturday night, and our inability
TO score on our fouls really lost US the
game, though that giant in centre had a
good deal to do with Fairmont's success
He was unusually tall to start with,
and he seemed to have the faculty OF ex-
tending himself like telescope. It was
a good, clean game, and the visitors, who
were fine, manly young fellows, earned
the victory fairly.
Three games are scheduled here tor
the balance OF this week. This thurs
day afternoon at BIS O'Clock the girls
team OF Shepherd College will play the
girls of Powhatan College, Charles Town;
Friday evening at s O'Clock our boys will
play the MartihSburg Y. M. c. A. team, a
very husky quint of rast players. Satur-
day evening at Gas 2: m. we Will play

ICE PASSES OUT WITHOUT ANY
DAMAGE
Heaviest Flow i'm History of Homes
dale-NO Damage Done on Della
ware.

The dread and fear of the towns
people at the passing out of the ice
is all over and no one was disturbed
save for the report of the dynamite
which necessarily had to be used to
start the flow.
About two o'clock Wednesday
morning the ice from the second d.
& H. railroad bridge broke loose and
travelled down the Lackawaxen river
to Park Lake where it was stalled.
Owing to the ice being frozen to the
bottom of the river bed the flow shot
over the top and piled up opposite
the Baptist church. Street Commis-
sioner Weidner and helper were on
the job at 4 o'clock and commenced
dynamiting. They continued their
efforts to break the gorge, which had
formed. The stream was cleared by
almost every discharge of dynamite
dropped under the ice. 1t was nee
essary to bore a hole through the
bottom ice to the river bed before
the flow would respond. Working
their way up stream little by little
the thick ice, prompted by the tre-
mendous pressure of water behind
it, gave way. Cakes ground and
clashed and went bounding down
the river, tossed by the water like
chips of wood, The ice ranged from
"a to 80 inches in thickness. A
good specimen of the ice is lodged
on the lower side of the State
bridge.
The ice did no damage along it's
course. 1t was carried as far as
White Mills. No damage, however,
is feared at that place.
The ice passed out of the Lacka-
waXen and Middle Greek Valley riV-
ers at Hawley on Tuesday.
The ice moved in Lordyille, down
through Callicoon, Cochecton and
Milanville much to the relief of the
people living around there. The
river at Narrowsburg hasn't cleared
yet, and the Big Eddy is still full of
ice

As years ago. At the age of 20 he
came to America and located in
Connecticut. Shortly afterwards he
was married in that state to Freed
