Hart, a deputy constable of this city,
had dropped dead on Broadway during

yesterday afternoon Mnrk Hart, of
CarbondLile, a brother, left for New
York and will return with the body pos
sibly this eveirlng. No arrangements

ARE STILL IN DOUBT.
Nothing Definite, lias Yet Moon Heard
from Munagor llunlon.
That the Scrunton Base Ball club will
have a manager Inside of ten days and
that the team will be a strong; one Is
confidently announced by the officers of
the association. While no definite ar
rangements have been made with John
Hunlon, late of the Hazletons, to man
age the Scranton team, President Betts
Is confident that an agreement with
Hanlon will eventually be made. R.
Hosklns, of Philadelphia, Is among the
most recent applicants for the position,
but his servlcs are not wanted.
In the absence of a manager Presi
dent Debts is conducting a voluminous
and vigorous correspondence with
many players with the object of sign
ing only first-class men. Ollle Smith,
last season's crack left fielder with the
LoulsvllleB, will probably wear a Scran
ton uniform, and Second Baseman
Pickett, late of Troy, and the cracka
jack In that position among Eastern
league players, may also be landed.
William Martin, second baseman In
JohnBtown'a 1892 team, made applica
tion, on tiaturduy for a place on the

WILL NOT GET A CHARTER.
Judge Archbald Doe Not Like Object of
Scranton Social Club.

on Nov. 30 of last year in Prothonotary
Pryor oflice praying for a charter for
a social club, parading under the name
of the "Scranton Social club," wlCh tha
avowed object to be the social enjoy
ment and literary improvement of its
members.
Judge Archbald, Saturday, refused
the charter and commented that he
kenw enough of the Intended nature of
the club to satisfy him that It was
meant for purposes that could not Jus
tify him in issuing a charter. : Several
prominent citizens of the town signed
the petition and It Is alleged that they
did so on false representations. However
when court took the papers yesterday it
was observed that the names of several
signers were torn from the application
since It was placed In the flies.
It Is believed that the purpose of the
club was to conduct a gambling institution.

to raise such a family of noble children,
and 'thougih the wife had been left a
widow, she hud the consolation that she

children. The deceased was was not
an old man, (being only 63, but he had

REPORT OF COL OSTHOUS
Reviews the Improvement in Rifle
l'racticc bv the National Guurd.
RESULT OP TIRELESS EFFORT
In tho Last Four Years the Number of
Ouullfcd Marksmen in tho State Has
Almost Doubled Govcnor Petti
son Qualified Last Year.
The annual report of the rifle, prac
tice of tho National Guard of Pennsyl
vania for 1894 has been submitted to
Brigadier General Greenland by Col
onel Herman Osthaus, of this city, gen
eral Inspector of rifle practice. A
marked Improvement Is shown In the
general marksmanship during the last
four years. During the past year Gov
ernor Pattlson qualified as a marks
man with the high score of forty-three,
and Adjutant General Greenland also
qualified with a high Bcore.
In 1890 the guard contained 4.549 qual
ified marksmen, and during last yeur
the number reached 8,475, the cavulry
and Infantry arms of the service quali
fying substantially their entire mem
bership. In the rifle practice at Mount
Gretna and Sea Girt, says the report,
Pennsylvania guardsmen have proven
the superior excellence, which has
required tireless effort and the expendi
ture of much money. The sharp
shooters and marksmen are distributed
as follows:

Concerning the Sea Girt .Matches.
Of the recent Sea Girt matches Col
onel Ositlhaus reports:
"During the first week of September
a team from Pennsylvania participated
In thetn'ternaitiLunial rifle competitions at
Sea Girt, N. J. I had again the honor
of selecting and commanding this team,
as In 1892, when we won both of 'the
famous matches, the Hilton and the
Innter-ataite. Uliis year we won only
the Hilton trophy (considered the lead
ing maltclh) but had the eatisfaotlon of
retaining Becond place in the other
Match among six competing teams. It
Is also coivsollng to know that Pennsyl
vania's team out-Shut all the other
teams upon the ground, as Is shown by
the fact that the total of Its combined
scores In bci'.li matches exceeds the total
of any other team." These totals are
as follows:
Pennsylvania 2124
District of Columbia 2112
New Jersey 2094
New York 2U92
Maine 2045
Georgia 2035

Canon Shuttleworth's Curious Experi
ments In London.
Canon Shuttleworth, In the Young
Man, describes a successful experiment
which he 'has made In starting the St.
Nicholas club in connection with his
church. This club 4s open to both men
and women, and beer is not forbidden.
Canon Shuttleworth says: .
"When we were starting the St. Nich
olas club the question was, Shall we sell
liquor? We decided to do so, and we
have never regretted It. If we had not
sold liquor, Esau, who likes something
more than ginger-beer with his mesa of
pottage, would not have Joined the club,
or If he did, he would not go without
his beer, but would walk across the
street to get It. Thus I should defeat
my object at the very outset. I should
lose Esau. Therefore, at our club those
who want beer can have it of good
quality and unadulterated."
"How does this work out in prac
tice 7"
"First, we sell so little liquor that it
hardly pays us; second, 'no one at the
club has ever taken too 'much. Public
opinion Is too strong for that. If any
member so far forgot 'himself he would
be put downstairs with promptitude.
That this has never been necessary I
attribute' largely to the Influence of our
women members."
Ilullded Worse Than He Knew.
From the Queenslander.
A city man visited the family of a rela
tive In the country, where he was not a
welcome guest by any manner of means.
After the visitor hud spent one morning at
the breakfast table the country uncle
snld:
"Cousin, don't you think your family
will miss you painfully? You ought not
to leave them alone so much."
"By Jove, that's so," exclaimed the city
man; "I'll telegraph them to come right
on at once."

The first successful locomotive engine
was built by Trevlthlck and Vivian, which
wus patented In 1802 and set to work In

poor to be without some form of block

would bring a railroad many benefits. '
