A displeasing blow to accident
insurance companies was dealt in
court at Wilkes-Barre when the
jury gave a verdict against the
Maryland Casualty Company and
in favor of the estate of James Gil
espie for $3,000 and interest for
four years. Gilespie contracted
with an agent in January, 1901, for
a $3,000 policy, and paid $5 down
on the transaction. The same day
he fell down a flight of stairs and
five days later he died from the in
juries. The company claimed that,
though an installment had been
paid on the first premium, the
policy had not been delivered, and
that the contract had not been con
summated. The plaintiffs showed
however, that the agent of the com
pany had told Gilespie that the in
surance would begin with the first
payment.

Martin Kelly, a former rMootns
burg boy and a popular member of
the Friendship base ball team, is
now employed as stenographer and
type-writer for the I.ytle Coal Com
pany at Minersville, Pa. He has
played several games this season
with the strong Pottsvilli team but
he has decided to quit the game,
and will shortly take up the study
of law.
. Local lovers of base ball as well
as many from neighboring towns
and contiguous territory, had the
pleasure of witnessing two good
games 011 Normal field last week
The visiting aggregation was the
Mt. Carmel team of the High Hat
League, and generally speaking it
was probably one of the most if not
the most formidable bunch of ball
tossers seen here this season. In
spite of this fact Normal managed
to split even. They won Friday's
game by good team work and clean
hitting. On Saturday the visitors
had a new pitcher in the box,
which together with the infusion
of considerable more ginger than
marked their pla ing of the previous
game enabled them to win, only
however, by a small margin, hi
days score was Normal 10, Mt.
Carmel 7, and Saturday's 4-1 in
favor of Mt. Carmel.

Peace in Sight
Through the diplomacy of Presi
dent Roosevelt, the cessation of
hostilities between Russia and Jap
an is now almost assured. In a
note addressed to each government
the President besought them in the
name of humanity to bring the
terrible conflict to an end, and both
parties promptly accepted his sug
gestion. Large armies of the two
nations are now facing each other
in Mauchuria, but it is believed
that an armistice will be speedily
arranged. It is probable that ne
gotiations will be carried on in
Washington. The Russia-Japanese
war has been a terrible slaught
er frcm the beginning, and the
whole civilized world will rejoice
when, the carnage ceases. ,

"We are to always remember
that the fair spirits of the little
children who slip away from all
earthly surrouudings leaving sad
vacancies in the hearts they have
captivated, and in the homes they
have blessed by their presence a
little while, always dwell before
the face of the Fattier in Heaven.
It is fitting, therefore, when oppor
tunity offers, that some memento
of their short lives 011 earth shall
be dedicated to exalted service in
the church below.
"In accepting this memorial
gift, the pastor and the members of
this church fondly hope that iu
coming years hundreds of lives
shall be dedicated to God by the
sacrament of baptism at this font;
and that the memory of Fred Tay
lor Ikeler, Jr., shall linger like a
fragrant benison alike in the home
be left so early iu life and in the
church where the memorial now
stands."
The following children were then
baptised:
Camille DeShephard; daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Walter T. Hall;
Margaret Agnes, daughter of Mr
and Mrs. Jas. L. Richaldifer;
Helen Elizabeth, daughter of Prot.
andMrs. W. B. Sutliff; Marion
