His memory will never die among the Welsh people, for many of the beautiful hymns he has written will live for ages. At the services in the Congregational church yesterday, only his compositions were sung, the programme being arranged by W. D. Owens, the musical director of the church. The programme included the hvmns: "Canarvon." "Caer dydd," "Aberystwyth" and "Flint." At the morning service, a trio, uiessea Am Thnso That Dwell In the House of Cod." taken from Dr.

Parry's "How Amiable Are Thy Tabernacles, was sung by Mrs. W. D. Owens, Alex. Williams and John Gravell.

SCORE STOOD 15 TO 14. Lively Times Marked the Progress of the Game in Normal School Gym Big Crowd Present Pittston Boys Won Over Every Obstacle. Those who witnessed the basket ball game in Bloomsburg, last Saturday evening, between the Eagles and the Bloomsburg State Normal School, saw a contest that was drawn out, beyond the limits of patience and also a free fight which was not scheduled. The game between these two teams had been heralded in Bloomsburg as the best of the season and the gymnasium of the school, where it took place, was crowded to its capacity with enthusiastic fans A picture of the Pittston team appeared in the Bloomsburg Press, last Friday, and the record of the team was given below it. This record and the fact that Pittston had already defeated Bloomsburg in this city helped to work up the audience to an excited pitch.

Just as the game was about to start, a dispute arose over the removal of a pair of horizontal bars that hung from the middle of the ceiling, about sev.en feet from the floor. After a half hour's argument, the obstruction was removed and the game started. The first half was very snappy and the score ended 10 8, In Plttston's favor. In the second half, a player named Marcy succeeded McAvoy as center, and with his advent into the game trouble commenced. The 20 minutes which should have constituted the half was lengthened into an hour and a half, owing to the numerous disputes and more numerous "knockouts" on the Bloomsburg team.

About every three minutes a Normal man would be suddenly knocked out, and in nearly every instance he would take the five minutes allotted by the rules of the game. In only one instance did the Pittston team ask for time, and that was when Scheetz was knocked out for 10 minutes. The fact that the Pittston boys did not ask for time won over a majority of spectators, and be fore the game was over, the majority of the people in the hall were cheering for the Eagles. Towards the end of the game, Blackburn and Marcy got into an encounter and both were ruled off the floor. As time was called, the score stood 15 14, in favor of Pittston.

After they had left for the dressing rooms, the timekeepers disagreed, the Blooms burg man claiming that there were still two minutes to play. The Eagles, having left the floor when the whistle blew, refused to return. They had still one foul to throw, but were disgusted with the whole game. The Eagles tried to play a clean, gentlemanly game, but found it nearly impossible, owing to the unfair playing of the Normal team. Both teams praised tho umpire, Mr.

Ayre, for his fairness. The teams lined up as follows: Eagles McGuffie and Anthony, forwards; Dodge, center; Scheetz, Blackburn and Miller, guards. Bloomsburg Machaclo, Corcoran and Shafer, forwards Marcy and Mc Avoy, Ituloff and Riland, guards. Baskets McGuffle 4, Machaclo 3, Marcy 2, Anthony 1, Dodge 1, Riland 1, McAvoy 1. Fouls called On Blooms burg C.

Baskets on fouls McGiifllo 3 Three fouls were called in the first half and three iu the second half. Mr. Ayre and Will Jones alternated as referee and umpire. Their decisions were accepted without any appeal. After the game there was a free fight in the gal lery between the students of the school and the inhabitants of the town Tonight, the Eagles will havo as their opponents the Shamrocks, of Scranton.

This team has defeated the North End Stars and the players can always give a good account of themselves. The painters and the carpenters will also play tonight. As they cannot settle their athletic differences by arbitration, they will do so by a battle. The painters say they will give the carpenters a "white wash," while the carpenters claim they are going to hammer the painters Into oblivion. One week from tonight the Eagles will have as their opponents the Ashland (Schuylkill county) team.

TT i (Both Telephones) Twelve Cars and Contents Wrecked and Burned. NO PERSON WAS INJURED. Potatoes and Grain Spilled Into the Lehigh River Both Tracks Were Blocked Trains Sent Around the Wreck on Other Lines. A serious freight wreck occurred on the Lehigh Valley about 6 o'clock last evening. A freight train in charge of Conductor Timothy Hogan.

of this city, drawn by engine 1211, engineer Kim lcr, of Mauch Chunk, was going cast ward on the main track, at Stony Creek, about three miles this side of Penn Haven, when a journal on the twelfth car from the engine broke. It Is not known what caused the break. as there was no hot box and the jour nal was perfectly cool, but it is thought that there was some defect in the me.al. About 15 cars piled up in a mass and blocked traffic on both tracks. The cars were loaded with promiscuous freight, and this was strewn along the right of way.

Two wrecking crews hastened to the scene, one from Packcrton and one from White Haven. They worked as siduously on the wreck and soon had the westbound track cleared. To make matters worse, the debris caught fire, probably from the sparks of the en gine that was drawing passenger train No. 3 on the westbound track, and be fore the flames were extinguished, 12 cars, together with all the merchandise lying about, were completely con sumed. The other three cars are in such condition that they will be abso lutely useless.

The back of one car, which was loaded with potatoes, was broken off and the whole load went into the Lehigh river, which Is only a few feet distant. A large amount of grain was also thrown into the river by the wreck. The front cars and the engine were undamaged, as were all those which followed the 15 that were destroyed. One man, a brakeman, was on the car following the one on which the journal broke. Seeing something wrong, he immediately ran to the rear of the train and escaped miraculously.

The wreck is an expensive one for the company. The westbound track was cleared in about two hours. A steam derrick Is working con stantly on the eastbound track, but it is not likely that it will be cleared up before tonight. In the meantime, traf fic that should go over the eastbound track is being sent around over other roads, without much delay. Milk, 3 cans, 25c.
