Normal toyed with the Freeland ball team Saturday. The game after the first two innings did not bear even the semblance of interest Normal scored 27 runs and could easily have made many more had they cared to do so. The visitors made but three. Long, formerly of Benton, was 111 the box tor Nor mal, and he had the Freeland's batsmen completely at his mercy. Frank Shaffer, son of our former townsman J. D. Shaffer, of Wilkes Barre, has signed to pitch for the Sioux City base ball team of the Western League, the coming sea son. Al Newton, another Normal School player is with this team.

Major E. W. Hale died at his home at Towanda on Friday, aged 89 years. In 1850 betook the cen sus in Bradford county, and was one of the electors that chose Pres ident Lincoln in 1864. For many years he was largely interested in the lumber and milling business He was also interested in the build ing of the North Branch canal. Major Hale was favorably known by many people in Bloomsburg. The returns received from the subordinate Odd Fellows orders of the State show that Joseph H Mackey has been re elected to the secretaryship of the Grand Lodge He had no opposition, however, and his election was but a formality The only contest was between Rev. B. H. Hart of Harrisburg, and G. R. McGlathery of Phila delphia, for the office of grand war den. The returns from a big ma jority of the lodges of the State give Hart a majority, that cannot be overcome. Arthur Brown, first baseman on the Normal School base ball team, and one of the best all round ath letes of the Normal, has signed to play with the Wilkes-Barre team of the New York State League. It was rumored on the street yes terday that he was going to Hoi yoke, Mass., and that he was to report at once. This called forth many expressions of regret, as his departure would greatly weaken the Normal team. Inquiry at the school last evening brought out the fact that he had declined Holyoke's offer of $100 per month and had signed with Wilkes Barre. This will permit him to remain with Normal until the finish as the York State League season will not open before that time.

The occasion was the anniversary of the order of Odd Fellows, and the number present and the interest manifested, left little doubt, but that the order of Odd Fellows is thriving in the land. The hustling metropolis of the upper end put on its brightest dress, nearly every building was decorated, and the success of the celebration, attests the interest and co-operation given it by the towns people.
