Both Teams 8ecured That Many Runs When the Umpire Called the Game and Refused to Allow the Players to Continue. When the Wallace circus exhibited at Riverside Park several months ago, it was heralded as the greatest show on earth, but that was a mistake.

The greatest show on earth visited the same grounds this morning, in the shape of the opposing base ball teams of the select and common councils, and the exhibition they put up' was certainly an entertaining one for about 500 spectators. Some little difficulty was evidenced in getting the game started, owing to the fact that both teams were shy on players and neither side wanted the other to secure any "ringers." Finally an amicable arrangement was entered into in which' both teams secured the full allotment and the game was started. From the beginning, the commoners had the best of it until the third Inning, when the selectmen, by a magnificent spurt and some very heavy stick work, managed to climb up until the score was 10 to 9. The succeeding innings were repetitions of the former ones, and when the game was called all members were glad that it was over. By agreement, the game was called at 11 o'clock.

Chief of Police Loftus served as umpire. The score and lineup of both teams is herewith given: Select Council Gavin, Murphy, and 3b; Keating, lb; McAndrew, 2b; Munley, ss; R. Hines, and 3b; Buss If; Thompson, rf; Langan. cf. Common Council Ormsby, Ke hoe.

All in all, the day was one of the most enjoyable ever experienced by those who had the pleasure of following it, Incident by incident. Shell Oysters at the Vienna. EDUCATIONAL.

KIND WORDS' FOR "DUTCH." Frank Touhill'a Ball Playing Admired in 8cranton. Yesterday's Scranton Republican contained an excellent half tone pic ture of Frank Touhill, of this city, and the following compliment to his ability as a ball player: "In the local field of amateur base ball players there is none perhaps more popular with the fans than Frank Touhill, the star second baseman of the Scranton semi professional team. Yoilng Touhill "began his career as a base ball player with the Pittston Reds, and while with them was looked upon as the best amateur player in Luzerne' county. "In 1900 he went to Michigan uni versity, where he played second base on the representative team. While there, his playing attracted the atten tion of the Chicago National League manager, and he received a flattering offer to play on that team.

But as he wished to complete his course of stud. les in Blackstone, he did not accept, "In the early part of this season he played with the crack Pittston Broth ers' team, and two weeks ago made his initial appearance with a Scranton team. In the two games that he has played he showed up to excellent ad vantage, and he is now one of the greatest favorites on the team. In yesterday's game he had two three base hits, five put outs, six assists and six stolen bases to his credit. "In the eleven chances Which he had he did not make one error, and local lovers of the sport expect to hear great things of him in the future." Corned Beef, 10c.

ALL IS QUIET IN OURYEA. Warrants Out for a Number Who Were in Thursday's Riot Effigy Hanging Commenced Again Big Money Or der Business Here. It was expected that the Maltby col Hery, of the Lehigh Valley would com mence operations today, and with that in view a large number of electrlo lights were placed in position around the colliery yesterday. It was found Impossible to commence work this morning, but an official of the com pany announced today that in all probability the works would resume tomor row morning.

He said that' the company had plenty of men and that the place would be well guarded. This will be a signal movement for the company inasmuch as the Maltby colliery has been idle since last March, when the men there went out on strike over the operation of an alleged blacklist which they claimed that the company maintained. One peculiar incident in connection with the strike, which indicates how earnest the. men are and how many have taken the advice of President Mitchell and gone to other fields to se cure work until the strike is over, is shown by the money order and regis tered letter department of the local postoffice. It is8tated that an unus ually large number of money Orders and registered letters are coming to this city from the soft coal fields around Pittsburg, showing that many local men have found employment there and are sending a good portion of their earnings home to their fami lies who remain here.

As a rule the Pittston postoffice sends considerable money away in order to balance its accounts with the government, while at present it is compelled to draw from the general office in order to have enough money on hand to meet the orders when they are presented, Some persons started into the effigy hanging business yesterday and a full sized figure appeared strung up to the bridge on Railroad street. While there was nothing peculiar in the fact. that an efngy should be hanged, the placard the figure' bore on its breast carried a legend that caused many to wonder. The inscription was "John Mitchell, Fraud." Many are now try ing to decide whether the effigy was the work of some person who did not admire President Mitchell of the Mine Workers, or whether it was intended for some local man who is working and who is also known by the name of John Mitchell. It is probable that the riddle will not be solved in a short time.

Nevertheless the effigy caused many a good laugh. It is stated that a number of warrants have been issued for the rioters who made the welkin ring in Duryea the other day and that they will be served within a day or two. The names of twenty men who were prom inent figures in the crowd that attacked the Warnke washery and beat young Carrln. the coal and Jron policeman, are in the possession of the. officers of the law and as all are well known residents of the town their arrest will no doubt cause a sensation.

All was quiet in Duryea this morning and in fact the town looked depopulated, nearly every man that was able, having gone to Wilkesbarre to attend the habeas corpus hearing of the men arrested at the washery the day the riot transpired last week. It is expected that all will remain peaceful in this locality for a week or so inasmuch as no attempt will be made to start the Warnke washery until the machinery can be placed in proper repair. General Manager Fred erick Warnke said yesterday: "It will be impossible for us to start work immediately, on account of the condition of our machinery, and, in fact, I doubt whether we will be able to do anything this week. We will give the machinery a thorough test. as soon as possible, in order to ascer tain just what repairs are necessary, and then, after these are made, work will be resumed.

We aren't afraid of the Duryea mob, and the washery is going to run, just as soon as It Is In proper condition to be It is now reported that President Mitchell, on his way back to Wilkes barre from Indiannpolis. will call at New York and make a last effort to secure concessions from J.

the Wilkesbarre Catholic priest, who has taken excep tional interest in advancing the cause of the striking miners, believes that J. Pierpont Morgan holds the key to the strike situation. Corporal Frank Woll, one of the sol diers on duty at Shenandoah, accidentally shot himself in the abdomen yesterday while cleaning his gun. Woll was taken to the Miners' hospital. It expected that he will recover.

It is semi oflicially stated that no at tempt will be made to operate any of the. colleries of the. Erie system at present.
