The Lehlghton club played a- return
came with tho Drifton club last Saturday
on the grounds of the latter. There was a
large audience present numbering' oyer one
thousaud. As Drifton had played our boys
a close and exciting game last week, many
expected to see another close game, but In
this they were disappointed. The game
opened at 3.30 with Lehlghton at the bat.
Jennings led with a two bagger to centre
which was followed by two errors of Mc
Garvey on hits of Simmons and Chambers,
a base hit by Holly with another two bag
ger by Chrlstmau yielded four runs, and
another runner scored on a sacrifice. This
lead was too much for Drifton to over
come. They only scored In one Inning,
on three hits and two errors. Tho Lehlgh
ton batted Helser hard; the total was 12
clean hits, among them 4 two-baggers.
Lukcns pitched a first class game for Le
hlghton, holding Drifton Jown to six scat
tering hits. Lehighton played a good field
ing game. Score:

and Jennings In the points for Lehlgh
ton, andMlller and Fesslcr for Wllkesbane.
took but one inning to show that the
Wllkesbarro club was out-classed by Le
hlghton, who began the game by taking a
good lead at the start and keeping It up to
the finish. Lehlghton played a magnifi
cent fielding game having but one error,
that a wild throw by Jennings to second.
Rothermal relieved Luklns In the third
inning on account of a sore arm. He
pitched a fine game. Score by Innings:

After the boys partook of a hearty din
ner at the Mansion nouse they were again
taken to the grounds aud proceeded to ad
minister a coat of white wash to their op
ponents. In this game O'Hara did the
twirling, and he did It in such a masterly
tylo that Wllkesbarro could obtain but
two scattering hits. They tried hard to
make a score, but the clever fielding and
'Hara's good work prevented it, Jen
nings batted hard m botli games baying
two two baggers and a single In the after
noon game. The only error of Lehlghton
was a muff by Chambers of a thrown ball.
The audience at both games was small ow
to a parade and the numerous picnics.

The celebrated York club the dusky
monarcbs of the diamond plajed beienn
Wednesday afternoon, before a fair sized
audience. The game was not as well
played as It might have been, but became
quite Interesting In the last inning, The
game opened with Lehlghton to bat, and
they were retired without scoring, as also
was York. In York's half of the second
tuning they scored four runs on four singles
and ono error. Jennings came up with lire
In bis eye lu the third and hit a two bagger
to center; Simmons followed with another
to left, and amid much applause two runs
were scoied. York further increased the
lead In tho next two Innings by scoring
four runs on errors of Ycnscr and Rothcr
mei.ina nome team scored two more
runs In the 9lh on singles by O'Hara and
Chrlstman, a dead bait and two errors.

ed tlio spacious old building, and It Is a
fact that Mauch Chunk has never known a
Hylicr Jonday In Its history. Tho active
work of the candidates for the several

theless the button holelng of the delegates
until the enlivening of convention was. as
numerous as It was Interesting to the on
looker who was sufficiently "In it" to
properly gnago the result. At 11.30 Couti-
,y Chairman Michael Cassldy called the

( on()hi Hon. Allen Craig, of Mauch
Chunl', who Is l aibon county's choice for
Congress, was born at the old family home
In Lehigh Gap, this county, on Christmas
day, In the year 1ft:ir. He obtained an ed
ucatlon In the common schools, prepared
for, college under prlvato teultlon and grad
uatcd from Lafayette college, Kaston, in
1883. Ho read law In the office of tho late
Milton C. Dlmmlck, and In 1858 was ad
inltted to practico at the Rar, sinco which
time bo has continuously resided at the
County Scat. In 1800 he was elected Dta
trlct Attorney and served for three years
with credit and ability. During 1800 and
for two years thereafter lie represented this
county in tho Stalo Legislature and In 1878
was elected Stato Senator. He is a bright.
brainy, able and influential man and would
make a good Congressman.
SiiNATit W. M. Rapsher, of Jfaucli
Chunk, was born In Northampton county
April 28rd, 18-18. Ucing loft an orphan at
nine years his path was not strown with
roses; but, with determination and closo
application ho earned tho means to sc
cure a liberal education, and graduated
from Albion Commercial College, Mich!
gan. He was eighteen years of age In
1801 when Abraham Lincoln called for
troops, but age did hot deter biro, and he
enlisted, and served without interruption
until August 1805. Ho participated In
many engagements and was one of the first
to offer his services when the spctial call
for one thousand volunteers was mado at
Port Hudson to lead the attack on tho
fortress. Before tho closo of tho war he
was detailed for special services, and rend
ered valuable clerical work In the office of
the General commanding the Department
of Loulsanna while that state was under
military government. Following the closo
of the war ho taught school for a number
of years his appointments being at Sum
mit Illll, Lehighton and H'elssport. Dur
ing his leisure hours he read law in the
office of Messrs. Albright & Rertolettc,
Jauch Chunk, and lu 1871, at tlio first
term of court held by Judge Dreher, be
was admitted to practice at the Carbon
county Rar, after passing an exceptionally
creditable examination. In 1871 bo was
defeated for Supt. of Public Schools by R.
F. Hofford the margin being but a few
votes. In the fall of tho same year he was
a candidate for District Attorney, but was
defeated by Ed. C. Dimmick. Ho was
elected a member of the Legislature by tho
Republicans in 1870 and served with dis
tinctionhaying succeeded in the framing
and passage of a bill for the abolishing of
the pernicious company stores. In the
fall of 18S0, when Gen, Hancock was a
candidate for tho Presidency, Mr. Rapsher
came to his' support, giving his reasons for
so doing In an open letter, which was pub
lished in the leading papers thioughout
the state. From the fall of 18S0 Mr. Rap
sher lias been a Democrat, always actively
engaged for the best Interests of his party,
and was in 18S8 a campaign orator for
Grover Cleveland. In 1885 Bo was Carbon
county's cholco for State Senator, but he
concecded the nomination to Pike county.
In 18S0 he was nomiuated and elected to
tho office of District Attorney. He served
in that capacity, faithfully and creditably.
Ho is recognized as one of the ablest writ
ers and most profound thinkers In Eastern
Pennsylvania; he is a ready and fluent
talker and debater and will bo more than a
mere figure head in the State Senate. He has
pronounced views on many of the modern
reforms and we can expect some excellent
work from him.

Semmel who came out a- winner In the
contest for the above office before the
Democratic Convention last Monday, was
born lu Lehigh county, on the 25tli day of
April, in the year 1847. Ills early child
hood was spent at homo, but the destiny
that shapes man's end, placed lilm, at the
early age of thirteen years, behind the
counter of a country general stole at Fo-
gelsyllle whero he learned the rough rudl
ments of a salesman; from hrre he went
to Slatlngton.whero he followed the same
avocation up to February of 1801, when lie
was offered and accepted a lucrative posi
tion with the late Thomas T. Reck who
was doing a large business in Lehlghton
Three years later be was with Joseph Obeit
as book-keeper apd manager of bis general
store, always going up by steadfast perse
verance and close attention to his employ
er's business. During 1807 he was married
to a daughter of Judge Hcberllng and as
sociated himself and was, In fact, the or
iginator of the well-known firm of J, W.
Heberling & Co., doing business In Mauch
Chunk. After three years of close appli
cation to business the desire to lie the sole
proprietor of an establishment took pos
session of him and he retired from the
above firm and launched Into tbe drygoods
and hardware business at Lehlfjuon whore
the goddess of success lavished on bim her
beet gifts, ami lie became the owner of the
old Klstler tannery property and built
thereon the massive brick structure now
known as Gabel's block. About Ibis time
he also made numerous luveetnienls in real
estate, besides building seven or more
blocks of bouses, when the hard times of
1S78 caught him and scattered the result of
bis labots to the .vlnds as it lind also racked
many others In tills section. Thevoteis
of Lehlghton twice elected him Chief Rur-
gess, made him a town councilman, school
director, vc. During the lime when J
