There are a few young l.idiesl in Leviston who seem to be in a great way I to find out who "dip." the Jeanesville correspondent is, They are anxious to know we are unable to state, unless it is to give us some news concerning our boys who very often, and with whom they intimate. If this is the case, we all the news they can give us in spect, but we would ask them not go these are very will take that re-to spoil their sdver tongues by shouting at us when we pass them, and they are too well protected by Jeanesville boys for us to say anything in defense of ourselves.

Boner, of Jeanesville, filied the points for Leviston, while Breslin and Schmear filled the same for Tresckow.

He was succeeded by Pieser, who, although strong enough, was but little effective. The game went to Leviston, score 11 to 22. S.

Baum, umpire. Joe Warshal and Charles McShea, 'of Kelayres, played with Tresckow.

The success with which Dan. McMullen, the Democratic candidate in the third district is meeting his canvas, has alarmed Mr. Bochert, the present incumbent nd who is also an aspirant for the animation. Accordingly he induced Thos. 'urcelL of Tamaqua, to also announce hi: nself with the idea of thwarting McMullt n's hopes from the lower end.

In this will be foiled as the the lower end del agates are determined to stick to McMul en. An article recently appeared in the Tamaqua Courier which denounced McMu lien as iu favor of the new county movemt nt.

The announcement that a game of base ball, between the Hazleton and Freeland teams would be played on Sunday afternoon, drew a large crowd to the park at the hour named. The rumor that the game would be stopped was happily not verified as an amicable settlement was, made between Mr. Breslin and the association. The Hazleton" boys were late in arriving, so it was about 4 o'clock when the game was called. Welch and Carr did the battery work for the home team while Zeirdt and Belles slung the spherical "Professional" for the Hazleton-lans with remarkable effect.

The game at first was hotly contested, the score was tied four times and during such iutervals the base ball temperature reached 120 in the shade. Few phenomenal or any other kind of good plays were made. Each side tried to out number the other in errors and the score which was 10 to 5 in favor of the visitors shows that our boys out-done them, the following was the score by innings-Freeland 20020100 0 5 Hazleton 03001132 10 Notes. Our boys seemed to be sadly outof practice, and as about 500 people were in attendance would caution them to be prepared hereafter, else the public would lose interest in the game and thus materially decrease their receipts The grand stand was not graced by the usual number of ladies but the prettiest ones were all out Many prominent out of town people were noticed on the grounds Soda water and milk shake must have beenscarce up town during base ball hours. The drug clerks all took in the game.

Some even took in more A scorer's buck would be a valuable and necessary acquisition to the base ball "furniture The imported battery failed to report for duty. Too bad! It was last Saturday night, cool and pleasant. Vast throngs moved steadily along our streets. In hi3 cozy litt'e office near the bor jugh line sat 'Squire Davis, deeply engaged in penning an editorial for his department in the Sentinel. It was a weighty article.

His brow became furrowed with thought that the subject was the probable passage of the McKinley Tariff bill and the bearing it will have on electing Mr. Davis at the expiration of his appointed term. The door opened and an abject specimen of humanity, with one eye in mourning, disturbed his honor and demanded a warrant for the arrest of one Wesley Amend, who was responsible, as he said, for the mourn-f al aspect of his visionary organ. The said Henry Evert, on oath, told a dog story in a dogmatic and convincing manner in his native doggerel. Amend once owned a dog and awoke one day to find it missing.

He swore "dog-gone and the first time he met Evert he accused him of the larceny of his canine. Evert doggedly maintained his innocence, but Amend his defense by a fistical performance, the result of which was the discolored optic. The 'Squire gravely'sympathized with the unfortunate plaintiff, pocketed his fees and caused the warrant to be issued. The result will be known later, as it has not yet been served. The election of our popular young townsman, Chas.

F. McIIugh, to be a delegate to the Democratic State Convention at Scranton, meets with universal approval. He is a young man of exceptional ability, talented and popular. The object of the respect and well wishes of his constituents and of the admiration of the fair sex. His future is indeed a promising one.

Though young in years, he possesses considerable knowledge of public affairs, and will no doubt be a prominent factor in the nomination of our next Governor. A lad named Jones, aged 14 years, an adopted son of James Jones, of Upper Lehigh, while rafting on a dam at that place on Sunday slipped and fell off into the water and was drowned. Acting Coroner Buckley was notified and was soon on the ground. He empanelled a jury, who are still deliberating. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Interment in the South Heberton cemetery. 'Squire Jonathan C. Remington, of Fair-mount Spring, is visiting his grandson J. B. Liaubach, of this place.

The (Squire is 86 years of age and is remarkably well preserved, being possessed of all his faculties. He was for many years Justice of the Peace of Fairmount township and also served a a term as county auditor, of this county. He is a hale, hearty old gentlemen whom it is a pleasure to meet. Chief of Police B. F.

Davis, had a narrow escape while out driving. His horse became unmanageable and but for the timely action of several by-standers he would have overturned the vehicle and no doubt seriously injured Mr. Davis and his little son, who was driving with him. Some South Hebertonians have been suspected of stealing coal from the fall-ins below town. Coal and Iron Policeman Seiwell has been seen on their trail for several nights.

They had better be more careful as Mr. Seiwell devotes considerable time in their direction. Prof. 8. N.

I Bedbugs Bring Him to Time. Stephen Languer is the name of a man ho languished for a while, in the borough lockup yesterday afternoon. Stephen had been dealing with several merchants in' town for some time and bought little bills on credit which he promptly paid when pay day came around. His bills began to in-crease in size and he became tardy in the payment of them, and it finally reached the ars of his creditors that he was going to skip out.

They kept a close watch on rnm and yesterday forenoon as he was about to step on a train and leave the "diggings," Officer Wallace nabbed him and took him before 'riquire Laubach, and he was soon afterwards locked up. He was not long in the lockup until several large sized bedbugs began to play tag on the back of his neck, and he begged to be out so that he could come to some settlement with his creditors. He finally agreed to go to work and pay his debts, and the 'Squire held his trunk as security and gave him four weeks time to pay them. Locomotive Engineers. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers throughout the Wyoming and Xack wanna Valleys, held a convention at Music Hall Wilkes-Barre, commencing on Sunday morning.

The meeting in the forenoon was a secret one in which the Brotherhood transacted the business of the order, but the afternoon an open session was held and the hall was filled with the -engineers and their friends. Mayor Suttan, of Wilkes-Barre, delivered an address of welcome to the Brotherhood, and a choir that was present sang several selections. Mr. Arthur, Grand Chief of the- Iirother- hood, was expected to be with them, but -was unavoidable detained. The Vice Chief, Mr.

Ben. Johnson and others delivered addresses. A "Plain Speaker" Graduate. Claude Whetstone, of the Miners' Journal, was in town yesterday circulating among his many friends. Claude is still the new countv scheme, but we are hopeful of converting him if he makes many more trips into this section.

He has said so many ridiculous things about our new county that we felt like annihilating him the first time we could lay hands on him but when he approached us yesterday with that peculiar and pleasing smile that he possessed of, our wrath softened, and twice at his expense we were iorcea to take "iicker. Mr. Whetstone left for his home at 3 p. but while in town he hustled pretty lively so as to visit his many old friends. Free Lecture.
