Gillun Pitched Great Ball, but Grays Are Able to Win on Siranlon's Errors. the Mi-i-anton had the Grays ill the hole to I xf'nt or three-nothing until the liit.t of tin' sixth, when the scuiv was mi llie rankest klml of riinkcrlito errors. Willi one out ttassett was hit by pili-lier mill MiiKliIro fumbled KiiiKht's eaf.y bounder. He iielded the ball lute to Massey and "Hill" kept the thing go inir by falling over the hall and him self, too. mid letting Bassett get to third. Knight was forced nt second by Tivauby, Basset! coming In on the play. Fri-I singled Drnuby to second. Lyons lilt a fumgo to left center, Frlel going t'i third. Lyons began a steul and Gun sen lieliled the bull clean to Hiekey. 'I'lie ;i hud u good chunce to run Ly ons down, but began to play lag. Frlel . as meanwhile hugging third. Finally Lyons made a successful breuk past Hiekey for second. The lat ter threw wild to Moss on the bug- mid File! brought in the tielng run. THK WINNING HlN. In the next Inning Conga n was pur fusely hit by a pitched bull, furry wouldn't see It that way, however. 'oor,im made u successful steal und i'eoreil the winning run on Rassi.lt's hit with (wo out. illllon pitched the kind of ball that iisuully wins games. He gave but live lilts, two of them being in the fulul sixth, after Scranton had missed three chances to retire the side. Dolan, too, with his speed and south paw curves, twilled good bnll, but he was hit for two eurned runs out of Scranton's totul of three. He gave nine hits alto gether. Anyhow, the game was one calculated to please nnd each of the few hundred spectators, on account of the uncer tainty or the thing ,got his money's worth of excitement. I'mplre Curry was clearly wrong In declaring Murray safe after a steal to third in the firth inning and that furnished an enliven ing feature for a few moments, during which the cranks had a few unkind re marks to make, but the Grays failed to score and the Incident was forgotten. It wns different, though. In the seventh, when Coogan got in front of a pitched ball and ambled to first. Curry wouldn't decide that It was purposely done. The result wus a stolen base and iiassett s nit, which drought m the win ning run. SLOW r.F.GINWlNG. Griffin on a walk nnd F.agau on a single found themselves on the circuit in the first inning, with only one out, but Hiekey Hew out to center and Mas Key fanned. Only nine men faced Dolan in the next three innings. And for four innings Providence was not much more successful. During that interval two bases on balls and Dolun's double were all that Oillon permitted. Scranton broke the ice in the fifth Maguire singled and would have been thrown out on an attempted steal but for Frlel's miss of Coogan's throw, which let the "Dude" get to third. Moss drew four balls and Coogan threw wild to entch him at second, Maguire com ing home and Moss making third, (iimsoii was retired at first and Gillon forced Moss at the plate. Griffin singled Gillon to third, but Massey was retired ut first. After nil, the excitement had netted but one run. The two in the sixth were made with two out. One was earned. Massey and Maguire singled nnd each advanced a base when Moss drew four wide ones, The two runs came in on Gunson's single. Gillon flew out to Drauby. THEN CAME THE TROUBLE. Then came the mess In the last half nnd the unearned run in the seventh ull of which has been described In the foregoing. It seemed like a sort of fatality that In the seventh, eighth and ninth Scran ton made one hit In each, but always after two were out. Score: SCRANTON. A.H, R. II. P.O. A.

Tn the seventh the visitors succeeded In bunching their hits and made four runs. Keenan was hit freely also in the eighth and ninth, and the Springers came near tioing the score.

Work the Xaveriaa Brothers Are Doiag in That lastitntioa. The advent of the Xaverian Brothers to St Thomas' college supplies a want that was long felt in Soranton-niinicly the union of a thorough busin.-s edu cation with the classics and sciences. There are institutions n our city where a good business or a goul classical, or even a good scientific education might be obtained; but no one whore all three are combined. Xaverian Brothers have achieved great success in their schocLi which are chiefly devoted to preparing younK men for the professions and for the business walks of life. One of ttu? most suc cessful teachers in the Xnv.iau order is Brother Angel us. at prvnv?nt director of studies at St. ThoniiW. Pupils taught by his in other cities have ut- tuined highest honors In civil service and competitive examinations. Studer.ts entering St. Thomas will receive com plete instruction Jn commercial nc- counts, book-keeping, type-writing and short-hand. The system of short-hand taught by the brothers Is) the celebrat ed Pernin system lately adopted at the high school at Harrlsburjr, Pa., and in the public schools of Brooklyn, N. Y. Writers in thlB system have no dfflcul ty in reading; their own notes even yearsV after they were written; they wlllso read one another's notes with sotnuch ease an ir these were written in long hand. Pupils taking the full business course ut St. Thomas' college will be certain to become expert in ahort-hand and type-writing. But the business course loes not Include these two branches merely, but also the complete bound of comprehensive English education from 'English giummsr and composi tions tn English rhetoric und English literature.

HORSE WALKED UPSTAIRS. I'nnsnul Vent of One or the Century Company's Animnl. One of those bin. brawny horses used by the fire department walked up a flight of stairs at the Century Hose house during the early hours of yester day morning and arous.nl the perman ent man, Joseph Helpman, who was asleep. It was a most unusual incident. The horse had been furnished to the com pany on trial by Frank Cobb and is a fine specimen of its kind. During the morning It broke through lt fastenings and walked around downstairs for a time. Seeing an open doorway the animal made for it and then began the march upstairs. The permanent man heard the heavy footfalls. When he opened the upstairs door the horse's head greeted him. A little difficulty was had in getting the animal back. THEY AUK 1'HED TO GRIEF.
