Mrs. Sarah Jester, wife Of John
NJ Jester Of this town, died yes
terday in the 8Oth year Of her age.
She was the sister of James Truax
and had been married to Mr.Jester
forty-four years, having been
twice previously married. She had
no children living. Mrs. Jester

sincere, kind-hearted and devot-

rarely live life Of greater indivis-
ible affection than did Mr.. and
Mrs. Jester. Until the past spring
when he went to Philadelphia for
medical treatment, they had not
been separated as much it is said,
as twenty-four hours at a time for
twenty-five years. She was a

for her years until seven weeks
since when her left side was par
alyzed, since which time she grad
ually relapsed into helplessness
ending in death She was an earn
est and faithful member of the NJ
E. Church and attendant upon all
its means of grace.
BASEBALL-A match game of
base ball was played at the Della
ware street grounds last Saturday
between the Active Club of Sud-
lersville, Md, and our Smyrna
Club which proved to be very in
teresting. The game opened very
favorably for the visitors. errors
including passed balls by Simmons
gave them six runs to one for
Smyrna at the close of the second
inning. With the third inning a
change was made in position the
Barnes Brothers going in as the
battery while Melville went to
center and Simmons 70 third. This
was a decided improvement as at
the end Of the 4th inning they held
the score, and from that point the
playing on both sides was very
fine, and it was, SO to speak, tany-
bodies" game to the close when
the winning run was made by
Smyrna. All deserve credit, not
ably Simmons at third who took
everything that came in his way
in that position, and his throwing
to base was fine. "A splendid play
was made in the seventh by Harry
Wilson, who run from short for
ball hit to between first and second
caught it put out the man running
to second and returned the ball to
first in time to retire the striker,
a fine double play. Norris Of the
home club was good at the bat.
Spectators pronounced it one Of
the most interesting games ever
played in this town. The umpire,
Albert w. Cummins gave general
satisfaction to all parties because
of the fairness in his decisions.
