Tho Ilarrisburg baso ball club met with an awful defeat at Lancaster yes terday, barely savins themselves from being shut out in tho last inning. The game was played with a good bit of growling on both sides, caused princl pally by tho very bad decisions of the umpire. At one time Dailcy was about to tftlte hia nine off the field, but a threat to withhold tho share of the gate money led him to reconsider his action, and the game proceeded. Bradley, a new third baseman, played with the Ilarrisburg, and proved quite an addition.

The intcrmcntwas to lake place at Marietta to day, but it is asserted that Coyle can not bo buried at Marietta, as at first intended. The family do not own a lot in the cemetery at that place and the association Lave refused to sell them one. Consequently the interment cannot take place in that borough as contemplated. Where he will be buried is unknown at the present. TTelA for Court.

On last Saturday afternoon a sm of Christian Hershey, residing on Wilson street, aged about a year, came near ending his life. It appears that while the child was seated in a buggy, under the charge of the older children, the little one got hold of a peanut, which had pecn put in the buggy, and attempted to swallow it. The nut stuck in the child's throat, when it commenced to straggle and gasp for breath. This attracted the attention of the older children, who immediately informed their mother ol the situation.

of SOLD. What Figures the Floor Covering of the House oi Brought. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a fair crowd purchasers had gathered in the hall of the House of Representatives to bid on the carpet which covered the floor and which as to be sold at auction. The first round was between watchman Adams of the Senate chamber and watchman Oblan der, of the lower branch. The former it appears desired to cry the sale, but the latter thought he had the right in view of the fact that Adams cried tho sale in the Senate chamber some time since, and he was accorded the privilege.

The seats had all been re moved from the hall and no furniture of any kind was to be seen. The auctioneer cleared his throat and nervously began the saie oi tne nrsi section ot 56 vards. which was run up to 34 cents a vard and then knocked down to the Pennsylvania puuiiBuing company. ADout thirteen yards ot aisle carpet was next sold to P. M.

Ort at 57 cents a vard. Section after section was sold as it laid on the floor and it brought good prices. Bidders occasionally showed some spirit, and waaing was nveiy. The carpet was a good deal soiled and worn, yet there seems to be a desire amone some people to get carpet over which our states men have majestically strode, no matter how dilapidated it appears. As the monotonous voice of the auctioneer reverbrated throughout the hall, the reporter mind ran back to the time when the eloquence of Landis and Furth and Horne and others woke the echoes and excited the admiration the crowded galleries.

The carpet on the Speaker's platform, 61 yards. was sold to G. Shaffner at 28 cents a yard. The other lots were sold as follows Mrs. Johnson, 54 yards at 27 cents; P.

M. Ort, 68 yards at 27 cents H. Marks, 30 yards at 39 cents; S. C. Reed, 44 yards at 39 cents; E.

Admission Nlonil Seats at Kenner's and 75c 1865 EStABLISHED1865 A WORD OR TV0, Purchasers of medium grades Boots or Shoes enjoy advantages at our establishment not to be had at all other places. By reason of our dealing in the highest grades and priced work made in this country, our experience as to the perfection in style and good qualities of the medium priced Boot or Shoe is at once visible to the purchaser. "We can furnish the many widths to suit high or low instep, broad or narrow foot, low broad shank, or Spanish arch instep, low or high vamp, over iapped quarter, opera, narrow, medium or wide square toe, French concave or common, sense heel, with these many styles and five different widths. We hold the fort for neat, good fitting, comfortable foot wear, in medium grades as well as high grades.

Carrying an immense stock, thereby not being compelled to prevail upon a customer to purchase a shoe not adapted to the wants of the foot, our clerks are now ready and willing to show goods even if not wishing to purchase.

A SUIT on a man or child, properly cut and neatly made even though cut from a coarse fabric, has a far better ap pearance, and much greater durablity is assured than "a go as you please" made suit cut from the best of imported woolens. He who would advertise men's suits for one dollar aims to mear everything to the public, but the facts mean anything but advantages to the customer.

We are not under valuing the worth of a dollar, but asserting how that amount of money can be best invested in the purchase of clothing. We unhesitatingly disapprove of that nabob class of suits so deceiving and worthless to the wearer and so unsuited either for working or dress purposes. One dollar can be so invested in the trimmings and general make up of a working suit as to increase its wearing qualities fifty per cent, as compared to the ordinary suit, made to barter off to trade. Every, customsr buying clothes of Elder Tash will get nothing but the strongest make and suiteble to the want to be supplied.
