And Draws Comfortable and Hhady
Barge That Should Be Popular With
Plckntckera A live Mile Course.
A beat for carrying passongers Iim been
pi teed upon the Conestoga creek at O raeff s
Landing, by a number of well known gen
tlemen. Last year the sail beat, " Kan
garoe" was launched and It ploughed the
water In that vicinity until late In the fall.
It was a big success, and this spring It was
believed that a larger beat,capablo of carry
ing mere passengers,should be put into use.
A movement was made in the direction
some tlme age and It rosulted in the organ
ization of u Tittle company or association,
with the following stockholders : Bonja Benja
mln Simmons, Issac Ilelney, Abraham
Tluckwalter, Clayten 1 Myers, Frederick
Englc, Charles E. Hosier, Jehn H. Bor Ber
ger and Dr. H. M. Bolenius. Tliey
each subscribed an amount of stock
and went te work. Tliey had J. P. Storm
felt build a barge, which is 40 feet in
length and 12 feet In width. The beat is
very comfortably fitted up with a railing
three feet high around the sides anil ends,
and a fine canvas covering. In ene end is
a water closet, and thore are stationary
benches for seats, which will accommedato
a large number of people. The middle
can be filled up with camp steels or chairs
and it will very comfortably carry at least
seventy-five people. The sail beat "Kanga
roo " was given a thorough overhauling
and in it Andersen fc Gressman placed a
four horse pewer englne with screw pro
peller. Tills beat is used as a tug for the
barge, neither of which draw mero than a
feet of water when heavily leaded. The
creek is navigable for these beats from
Levans mill te Heigerts Lauding, a distimce
of almost four miles.
On Thursday afternoon the owners of
the beat and their friends, who had been
invited, te the number of 45 persons all
told, gatbered at Graetfs Lauding for the
purpese of making a trial trip en the beat,
which, by the way, has been running en
the stream for sevorel days. At half past
three o'clock they bearded the craft, got get
tlng en at the little wharf that has been
ereuted. The " Knngaroe " was along slde
with steam up, and with the whistle blow
ing and the passongers cheering the beat
started tip stream at half past three o'clock.
The creek was in the bpst of condition for
the trial, being somewhat high, and the
trip te Reigart's Landing was tnade in a
half hour. It was a very pleasant ride
around the bends in the beautiful stream,
along which is some of the prettiest
scenery te be found anywhere. Ou the
south bank of the creek thore are a num
ber of ravines with plenty of sbude and
tbe water from several springs runs down
the hills into the Conestoga. There are
several beautiful spots whero picnie
grounds, for small parties, could be fitted
up at little ex pun se, and tills will
likely be ilone bofero the soaseu is
very far advanced. All around the
creek were fisherman and ethers, many
of whom had been attracted te the
shores by the whistling of the beat
and as it pnssed everybody sainted it.
Just below the Ice heuse at Relgerf s the
beat turned and ran back toGraetl's In less
than twenty minutes. Passing under the
railroad and county bridges it was run
down te within a short distance of Levan's
mill and back. Country pcople driving
along the different turnpikes did net knew
what te think of the gay little craft and all
steppod their teams te take a leek at it. It
was about 5 o'clock when the beat steppod
and ovcrvbedy went ashore well pleased
with the trip.
The crew that had charge of the be it ves
terday wascompesod of Capt. B. F. Sim
mons, Engineer Abraham Buckwultcr,
Fireman Jehn Martin, and Tillerm.ui
lavid Wolf. It is the intention of the
owners of the beat te make many improve
ments in the running of It and the trip of
yesterday was tnade for the purpose mero
of learning wliat was needed than any
thing olse. After Saturdav the beat can be
chartored by private parties. Sunday
schools or ethers who desire te take trips
en the water or held picnics along the
creek. It is also the Intention te make
trips at Intervals during the day te differ
ent points en the stream, ehareing a small
sum. The water is plenty dcep enough te
run the beat at the low e!t stages and the
people In charge of the craft will
exercises the greatest care with parties,
especially theso having children. One
geed rule that has been adopted by the
owners is that no persen under the inflii
ence of liquor will be allowed en the beat
at any time. The beat will no doubt prove
a great feature of amusement at the creek
and it will undoubtedly be a success.
Many inipreements are belng made at
GraelTH Landiug nt prescnt. The Lancas
ter Scheut7en Vcrelu lias made a very
pretty rille raite en the North slde of the
stream just east of the hotel, and it will be
opened shortly. Mr. Engle, owner or the
hotel DreDertv has had the building ther
eughly remodeled, and, Indeed, it has been
almost entirely rebuilt. It is net completed
yet but when it is It will be one of the finest
be tela In the county. It has been greatly
enlarged and the house will be fitted up
with gas, water, bath rooms, water closets,
beaters, itc. A large perch will run almost
around the building, with steps leading te
the creek. Jehn II. Berger has charge of
the hetel and a better fitted or mere capa
ble man could net be found for the place.
It is the intention te extend the stroet car
line te the lauding as seen as possible.

CUEEK V BALL M AN AGE US.
The Alteena Peopie Playing Goedhart
Catcher Without HUKeleas...
Manager Kretter, of the Yerk team, was
In Laucaater yesterday and arranged with
Geerge Goedhart te play games in Yerk
te-day and te-morrow. The Lancaster left
for that town this morning.
Miihler, of the Alloeiu club, telegraphed
last night that he would glve the Lancaster
people $25 for the rcleasoef catcher Good Geod Goed
narf. Manager Goedhart paid nu attention
whatever te the dispatch but will blacklist
the catcher and pttrmie his case te the end.
Goedhart bad thought of disbanding his
club but be is determined te slick and light
such people as the Altoen.m He will play
ever the circuit if he has te de it with nine
amateurs.
Every game that the Alteena plays with
Goedhart catching Is illegal, and pretests
against them must stand.
Outside of his knewledge of catching the
Goedhart who ran away with Alteena Is aa
dumb as a mule. He has played but little
In any protected league or association and
is tee ignorant te knew the extent of his
offense. The people who stelo him are the
ones who should be punished.
The Lancaster team could be made te
pay new if two or three men with money
would take held of it. Manager Goedhart
has players In view that would make
Alteena, Lebauen and Easteu hustle, but
be docs net want te sign tbem in his present
condition.
The rain interfered greatly with the
games of ball yesterday. These of the
American Association were Columbus 6,
Rochester 4 ; Syracuse 0, St. Leuis 0.
The Chicago and Brooklyn Players clubs
had a tie game 7 te 7 yesterday.
Uarrlsburg defeated Lebanon by 0 te 1
yesterday.
The Lobanen'a could net hit Stock er
yesterday and Uarrlsburg wen easily.
Cress played finely.
The Umcastcr club was te go te Yerk
yesterday, but Manager Goedhart tele
graphed te find If the grounds were in

manager was out of town, se he did net.

out te their grounds and the game was for
feited te thorn by 0 te 0 by Umpire Deen.
Yesterday at Alteena the Easten clnb
was defeated by the score of 0 te 3. Good Goed
hart, the catcher who was stelen from the
Lancaster club, played in the game and
did some wonderful work. It was be
lieved at first by many poisons that Man
ager Zecher was net responsible for taking
Goedhart away from this city, but they
have changed their minds slnce he has
had the face te play the man. He
has been In the base ball business long
enough te knew that he had no mere right
te take Goedhart away with him than he
had te run awav with another man's wife.
Manager Goedhart would never have gene
into the Inter-state league had it net been
for Mr. Zecher and a few ethors who per
suaded him. They made him all kinds
of premises which they never kept,
but instead have done all in their
wworte hurt him. Zecher and Mishler
tave always been well thought of In this
city, where they canie from but when they
resort te this kind of ditty tricks poenlo
very naturally turn upon them. The
season for the Interstate League is notevor
yet and Manager Zecher will net find every
thing as bright at the close as he does new.

he need net get a petition out ter the office.
He felt elated, nmi invinc; in addition the

ter. Sonnter Hnrlan suggested Hint a cir
cular letter be sent out te overy part of the
state containing certain Intcrrogateriu rel
ative te the betterment of public reads. In
this way he thought the sentiment of
the peopie could be understood, Sonnter
Harlan referred te the feeling or unoasl uneasl unoasl
ness among the farming Interests relative
te taxation, nnd If they thought additional
burdens were te be laid upon them they
would net take kindly te any preposition
looking te better reads. Mr. Downing, of
Chester county, who is a rocegnizod au
thority en the subject, said he favored the
passage or a law permitting townships or
school districts te borrow money en bends
for the iiormnnent Improvement or reads
within their district. He thought lu this
way geed reads could be built up, like the
present school system or the state. The
people or Chester county, he said, favored
the plan very generally.
Dr. McCullough, of Allegheny, remarked
that the farmers or his section favored
stene reads, but they want te knew whero
the money Is te rome from. He said If
81,000,000 wus te be appropriated by the
state this would permit of a distribution or
about $000 in each school district outslde of
the cities anil boroughs. It was suggested
by Mr. Belard that lr state nld was te be
exteudnd it should be se regulated that the
townships slmll spend n sum en thelr ro re ro
apectlvo reads equal te that nppurtlened bv
the state. In tills way thore would lib
82,000,000 weith or work accomplished. He
saw no way of Improving the reads oxeept
by slate aid.
It wns decided te send out 20,000 circulars
te postmasters, prominent agriculturists,
county nnd township officials, read super
visors nnd ethers Interested In Iho Biibject
