SHOT DOWN BY HIS FRIEND. Two Mon Quarrel as to Who Shall Pay for a Drink and Ono is Probably Fatally Woundod. Saturday afternoon John Anderson met Lynn Munson, a life-long friend, met in a saloon at Sheffield, Pa. The greeting between the men, who were under the influence of liquor, was extremely cordial. After a few words had passed the men quarreled over the privilege of purchasing the next drink. Without the least warning. Anderson drew a revolver and com menced firing at Munson, the bullets taking effect in his neck, shoulder and breast. Munson fell to the floor, it was supposed, fatally shot. Anderson deliberately walked out of the saloon and sat down, after which he extracted the remaining cartridges from the revolver and then reloaded it. He then inquired if Munson was dead, and receiving no definite reply demanded an axe with which he could dispatch his victim. By strategy Ander son was overpowered and placed under arrest, to await the result of Munson's injuries. Died Tryiug to Save Others. Yound Hero Warns Other Miners to Ilee Prom Danger.

There can be no doubt that the National League Clubs, with a few exceptions, are better financially, this year than since the golden days of 18S9. Below will be found what the several clubs cleared above all ex penses on the season. The Bostons will clear $50,000. The Baltimore's will make $25,000. Philadelphia is $50,000 ahead of the game. The Wagners have made about $20,000 at Washington. Cin cinnati has proved a bonanza for John T. Bush who can this fall han dle a roll containing $45,000. The Chicago with its Sunday games will clear $50,000, if not more. Cleve land's profit for the year will amount to $20,000. The Pittsburg club will, after all expenses, have close to $25,000. Louisville will make about $S,ooo this year. St. Louis will be likely to pay expenses. This gives some idea how much money is spent for this sport through out the country. Mrs. M. C. White, of Germantown, held a pad over a cut in her 4-year-old boy's mouth for seventy-two hours last week to prevent him from bleed ing to death. The cut was a slight one, but the physicians could not stop the bleeding, and it was decided that'the only way to save the child's life was to hold a pad over the cut until the wound healed. The mother promptly volunteered, and the pad was prepared. For three long days and nights- Mrs. White held the pad against the roof of her child's mouth. He was kept alive on liquid food, and Mrs. White was fed by her mother. Doctors say that there are few much examples of endurance and devotion in the annals ot the profession.

Brockway of Beach Haven, died at her father's home last Friday afternoon at four o'clock- She had gon? home on a visit, and while there a pimple appeared on her face.

Selinsgrove came here Saturday, no doubt with the intention of giving the Normal an object lesson in the art of playing foot ball, but went home with low spirits, as their scalps dan gled from the belts of the Normal to the tune of 24 to o. The game was an exceptionally rough one, and several of the Selinsgrove boys were knocked out before the first half was over. The visitors played fairly well at the start, and at one time were dangerously near the goal, but they lost the ball, and during the remainder of the game they were very easy.
