Base Ball.

Flushed with its victory over the
Shamrocks, on Wednesday, Pemberton
came to Mount Holly, Saturday, with
every confidence of walking off with the
game, and they came pretty near doing
it. Mount Holly was weakened by hav-
ing two of it's strong men away and it
was through the errors of one of the sub
stitutes and poor play by some of the
regulars that chills were caused to run
down the backs of the home fans.
Pemberton got two runs and they were
both scored in the first inning. Laurie
Gillian and Beaudry both went after a
fly ball and then stopped and saw il
drop to the ground. Forbes tried to get
u man at second and threw wild. Be
fore the team settled down two runs had
been scored and after that there was
nothing doing for the visitors. Noun
Holly got one in the first and one in the
third and the game continued until ten
innings were played. In that inning
with two men out, Foulks hit beauty
to centre field and brought in the win
ming run. The score was as follows:

Random Remarks.

There is feeling that the Board of
Freeholders did not give as much atten-
ton to the recommendation of the
grand jury with reference to putting con-
victs to work on the roads as the SUBJ
ject demanded. To simply lay the
matter on the table seemed discourteous.
The payment Of the personal bill of q
Freeholder who got in all the days that
could be squeezed though regardless Of
the fact that the month of April was
very rainy and there were several days
on which it would seem to have been
impossible to spread gravel, does not sit
well. There is not a unanimous opinion
in favor of putting prisones to work and
there are two sides to this as to every
question. But the matter should be
looked into and discussed If it is found
not to be practical or too expensive ii
should be set aside but such action
should not be taken until all points in
connection with it have been considered
When a prisoner awaiting sentence
was asked whether he would take a jail
sentence or be put to work on the coun-
ty farm he quickly chose the lazy life in
Jail in preference to going anywhere tc
work. 1t is question whether a fellow
of that sort should have been given 9
choice in the matter. A few months O.
hard work without a chance to gel
drunk would be very beneficial to mer
of his type.
Very often there are cases presented a
court on waiver of Indictment that
when sifted out, prove to be of no &C
count, and the wonder is that they ar
ever allowed to get as far as they do
Last week there was man brought il
on charge of stealing and when h
came to answer it was discovered tina
] he was not the fellow wanted. Possibl
there is not any way to prevent thes
cases taking up the time of the court, q
Ian expense to the county, but it woul
seem as if a thorough sitting in advanc
might reach beneficial end. ProsecI
tor Kelsey has said in open court, MOI
> than once, that he did not know any
thing about the case that was befol
him until it was brought in. This
!. means that the waivers Of indictmel
:, were all prepared by somebody else an
d when the defendant was arraigned IL
supposed facts dwindled down to le
n than was thought to be the true stat
g Of the case. How this is to be prevents
q is not for us to say, but it does look as
u somebody ought to know about Il
/ case that are to be presented.
