The Wheelmen went down be
fore Boyd Maize juveniles, on Nor
mal Field Thursday afteruoon.
Their defeat was largely due to
their inability to connect with Bud
Rabb's benders. The youngster
had a choice collection up his sleeve
and the entire Wheelmen outht
with the exception of one or two
was completely at his mercy.
Several times they had a chance to
win the game, but they were never
equal to the emergency. In the
fourth, fifth and eight inning they
had the bases occupied and 110 one
out, and just a little hit would have
meant two runs, but it was at these
times that young Mr. Rabb was
effective, and the wheelmen would
step up and fracture the air one
after the other. "Hossier" Moore
appeared to be able to hit the ball,
but he couldn't keep track of it
when he was in the field. He Lad
only one chance to distinguish him
self and then he lost the ball in the
high grass and Lefore he found it
the runner had scampered home.
Taking the game all the way
through, it was a hummer. But
the Wheelmen are not satisfied.
They have challenged the clerks
for another game, this time for $50
a side. Manager Mai.e we under
stand has excepted. The money is
up and the game will be played to
morrow. The score of Thursday's
game was 12-10.
Blooms burg young men who
have lady friends in Catawissa, will
petition Superintendent Ilackett, of
the Electric Railway Company, for
a later car. We don't know but
what their request is worthy of
some consiuerr.uon. In courtship,
the longest summer's day seems too
much in haste, aud 10:20 comes all
too soon. Here's hoping you suc
ceed boys.
A Heavy Storm.
Continued from 1st page.
the destruction of the wheat i9, that
on the farm of John Reichard, for a
path of ;oo feet in width, the wheat
which had been placed in shock,
was apparently blown out of exist
ence, not a semblance of a sheaf re
maining, aud as yet none ot it ha9
been found.
At the Jury farm, farmed by Mr.
Emery; some distance from Buck
horn, the barn was hurled to the
ground and the horses buried be
neath it. In order to save the lives
of the horses it was necessary to
use an ax to cut them out. One is
so horribly cut that it is thought it
cannot live.
The wind blew down part of the
barn ot Mrs. Zeisloft' at Jersey
town, as well as one near Washing
tonville. The damage to crops iu
that vicinity was very heavy.
The barns of Marvin Hartman
and Jacob Hartzell, in Catawissa
township, were unroofed. Hon.
William T. Creasy reports there
had been the promise of a good
apple crop, but this was in part de
stroyed by the destruction wrought
by Saturday's wind. The damage
to the wheat, he says, is ery
great.
At Maiuville the water in Coal
Run raised so high that it washed
away a large number of sheaves of
wheat for Boyd Yetter, and several
farmers. The high wind raised
the creek bridge at that place a
distance of twelve inches, but when
the storm subsided, the bridge set
tled back to its place.
Coal Run, for a distance of about
three miles above Mainville, over
flowed its bauks and badly washed
the farms of Aaron Gruver, Cleve
Mensinger, Eoyd Yetter, John W.
Shuman and O. R. Shumau. At
the farms of John W. and O. R.
Shuman from ten to fifteen acres of
fine timothy hay was completely
ruined.
A portion of the roof of the barn
of J. A. Hartzel, of Main township,
was torn off by the wind. The
barn of Rhhard Aten, in the same
township, was also uuroofid.
The loss of L. H. Boody at Rup
ert was a heavy one. Many ot" the
fine trees in his beautiful lawn were
uprooted or broken off and it will
take years to replace the property
where it was before the storm.
Mrs- B- H- Montgomery,
At the age sixty-seven years, and
after an illness of less than an hour's
duration, Mrs. Montgomery, wife
of the late Dr. D. H. Montgomery,
died at her home in Mifflinville,
Tuesday evening. She was in her
usual good health until about half
past five o'clock Tuesday evening
when she was taken suddenly and
violently ill from the rupture of a
bloodvessel. Dr. Redeker, of town
was quicklv summoned, and not
withstanding that he responded
promptly, she died before he reach
ed tl;e house.
Mrs. Montgomery was a daugh
ter of Jacob Kline, and was bom in
Orangeville, where she was raised
and lived until married, when they
moved to Mifflinville. Dr. Mont
gomery has been dead less than a
year. The survivers are two daugh
ters, Carrie and Florence, and three
sisters, Mrs. Weaver, of Hazleton,
Mrs. Henry Kirkendall, of Berwick
and Mrs. John Brown, of Mifflin
ville. TEH!

Chief of the Fire Department P.
B. Heddens was present and made
a request for 1000 feet of new hose.
He also recommended the placing

cation, asked permission to erect an
ice house 40 x too feet on Fifteenth
street. If permitted to build he
will be willing at any time to re
move the building on sixtv or
ninety days notice lrom council.
The committee on highways was
instructed to investigate the site and
report at the next meeting.
The residents of east Third street
presented a petitiou asking for a
drainage system to carry off th;
surface water. In the opinion of
Street Commissioner Neyhard at
least 800 feet of sewer pipe would
bd required to make the connection
at the nearest point, which is at the
neal property. The Sanitary Com
mittee took the matter and will re
port at the next meeting.
The alley in the rear of J. W.
Robbins' Market street property
was reported in a bad and unhealthy
condition. Upon information from
Street Commissioner Xeyhard that
r. A. Snyder, of the Exchange
Hotel, had promised to abate the
nuisance the matter was carried
over to the next meeting.
A petition signed by thirty-nine
citizens and property owners of
town was received, requesting that
pavements be laid about the Tustin
property at Third and Market
streets. It was decided to notify
Mr Tustin to lay a pavement with
in thirty days or the town would
take action. The pavements on
Fourth street between Railroad and
West streets were reported to be in
very bad condition in some places.
It was then decided by council that
the property owners on both the
north and "south sides of Fourth
street between Railroad and West
streets must lay side walks within
thirty days.
A petition was received from a
number of barbers requesting that
some action be taken to stop the
practice of Sunday shaving which
is being done by barbers of town.
Chief Knorr was directed to notify
those barbers to discontinue the
practice or be dealt with, according
to law.
Street Commissioner Neyhard re
ported that complaints had been re
ceived from property owners along
Whitman's alley in Scottowu that
the water flows from this alley into
their lots thus flooding them. The
matter was referred to the commit
tee on highways to report to the
Street Commissioner what should
be done.
The alley leading off Main street
on ttie Normal Hill between the
residences of G. S. Robbins and
Mrs. John was reported by Frank
Dawson to be in bad condition. It
was referred to the committee on
highways. Plans were received
from J. Lee Ilarman regarding the
sinking of a sump hole in the coal
yard back of Harman & Hassert's
and connection with the sewer.
After a hard rain the water collects
in the coal yard to a depth of nearly
one foot and has no means of egress.
No action was taken in the matter.
Orders for the month's bills were
ordered to be issued after which
the meetiug adjourned.

THE LIME JUICE ISLAND.
Montnerrut. In the llrHlnh Weal In
dies, Onr Ynat (inrcli'n of
Lime Trrea.
Nearly U the lime-juice used in the
world comes from Hie tiny inland of
Montserrat, In the Tritish West In
die. ' The lime grow wild in many
West Indian i.landu, but only in
Montserrnt. is it used commercially,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. That
island is one vast garden of lime-trees,
and nowhere in the world is there a
finer sipht-than its 30milc of orchards
laden with tvhe fruit of the lime or fra
grant with its blossoms.
The fruit is gathered by negro wom
en, who carry it down the hills to the
shipping ports in big baskets on their
heads. Like all West Indians, they
are remarkable for their ability to
carry heavy weights in this manner.
Once, the company which controls the
ime-juice industry sought to lighten
the burden of its laborers by intro
ducing wheelbarrows. The negroes
filled the wheelbarrows readily enough,
and then carried them on their heads
as they had been used to carry the
baskets. Many a negro woman will
carry a hundred-weight of limes on
her head for a distance of a mile or
more.
PORTABLE MARINE TORCH.
EraerRency Device Which la Part of
Equipment of Otrean
CaolllRT Shlpa.
The marine torch designed to be. car
ried in ships for emergency use, and
which was first introduced two years
ago, has led to the perfection of a de
vice which is a very great improvement
on the first one. In reality, it is n,
portable Incandescent light, and upon
contact with water generates a bril
liant illuminating gas, automatically
lighted by a chemical device and inex
tinguishable by wind or water. The
light is bo tmlanced that it float up
right directly It enters the water, snys
the Philadelphia lieeord. The llght'is
made in from 300 to 10,0(10 candle pow
er, according to size, and burns, it is
said, up to half an hour, while it. il
luminates for reading up to 150 yards'
distance. The light is now specially
approved by the board of trade for tha
compulsory equipment of passenger
ships and adopted by the Irish lights
board, and such a system makes it
suitable for many purposes in connec
tion with marine work especially,
perhaps, in emergencies, 30 seconds
sufficing to undo the two inclosing
strips of metal and have the light in
operation.
InaniiHr and Seuroe.
At the Atlanta conference of chari
ties and corrections Dr. Searcy, su

Moser Heirs Hopeful,
Some fifty persons attended the
meeting of the Burkhard Moser heirs
in Reading. H. II. Stoudt, one of
the 'eaders in the present litigation
with the L. C. & N. Co., presided and
spoke hopefully of the outlook for the
successful prosecution of their claim.
Mr. Stoudt stated that none of the de
cisions ot the courts were really
against the heirs, but that they must
present better proof of their descent
from Moser, the owner of the largest
tract of coal land in dispute. The
next suit will be tried in September.
Mr. Stoudt said that he wanted all
the claimants to prepare proof of their
contention as heirs, so that if the
claim was found to be just there
would be no further trouble. Others
expressed confidence in the final out
come of the rituation. Some sub
scribed money toward the expenses of
the suits. The estate to which the
heirs set claim is variously valued at
from $10,000,000 to $50,000,000.
Hazleton Sentinel.
Here is some common sense ad
vice given by a Missouri editor to
the girls of his town: "Don't bang
around the depot unless you are
going away or there to meet friends.
Don't be loud boisterous or slangey.
Stand on your dignity; and don't
form acquaintances quickly. Don't
carry your heart on your sleeve;
and don't tborw yourself into the
arms of every good looking drum
mer or well dsessed stranger who
comes to town. Be womanly, be
modest, be thoughtful and serious
at all times. Don't regard your
long legged brother as as a nuis
ance; don't turn up your nose at
your old fashioned father and his
poor grammar; aud above all don't
play "A Hot Time" while your
mother is having a hotter time at
the wash tub with your dirty duds
its too suggestive.
