Ball Team Arises from Innocuous
Dessuotude and Challenges.
That tho members of the Junger
Maenncrchor nro splendid entertainers
as well as lino slngeis, was amply
elcmonstintcd Inst evening, when
they entertulned a lnrge number of
friends at a clambake and Jollifica
tion given in fiermnnln hnll.
At 0.30 o'clock, the members nnd
friends sat down to luncheon. Tho ta
bles, throe In number, wcie set length
wise along tho hall. At the head ot
the center table. In tho rear of tho
toastmaster, nnd upon a table, were
tho Mnenneichor's first tiophles, with
tho largo plctuio of Prof. Gustavo
Schmidt In the center. After a sump
tuous lepipt of baked clams, and
clams In eveiy other stjle, corn on tho
car, sandwiches, etc , the president,
Mr. Gustavo Reppcrt. who was toast-
mnster.calted for order, and In a neatly-
vvoi. led nddioss, welcomed tho
guests.
Ho then called on tlu various mem
bois of tho oiganlzatlon for toasts,
which were to be given In the Geimun
language, and the member who ut
teied nn 13ngllsh woid. while respond
ing to tho toast, was promptly re
quested to take his seat, which he was
only too glad to do. After the season
of spcechmaklng, the hall was cleared
and dancing wns cnloyed until a lato

spent.
The committee who looked after the
ariangemcnts nnd who welcomed the
guests were: Paul demons. Otto J.
Robinson, Fied AVelchol, August Get
ger and Rdwnrd Kannenguesser.
They Are Alive.
What was yesterday a mystery, has
now been cleared. The Casey & Kelly
base ball team Is still In the land of
the liv'ng, wheie base ball kickers
flourish. They vigorously deny tli.it
they have been lost, claiming I
a deep laid plot on the part of tho
opposition, the Scianton Piewlng com
pany, to sink them in the mire of ob
livion, or lather, "put them out of tho
business."
Theiefoie, to piovo that they aie,
what they claim, Matty Swift, the
e-b.ise ball manager of the Scranton
base ball team, has issued the follow -lug
challenge:
"The Casey & Kelly base ball team
challenges tho Scranton lire j lug com
pany to play a game of base ball at
any time oi any place for tlie sum ot
$J0 a side. The teams nie to consist
only of employes of tho two btoweiles.
(Signed) Matty Sivift, mnn.igei."
The gauntlet is thrown; let tho bat
tle begin.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Raw Matcrlnl Markets Are Still
Sleeping Prices Moving Down.
Plttsbuig, July ZC The American
Mnuufnctuicr will say ot iron and
steel trndo tomotrow:
Tho tuntkets nie showing some
changes that aro legarded us the ad
vance movement in favor of a t-.iu-Hon,
but tho chnnges aro confined to
tho Mulshed lines nnd In those branch
es of business to tho smaller and moio
highly finished products. Prices nro
still moving downward, but consum
ers are actively inquiring, nnd In
many cases, placing contracts, which
is better than for some weeks. Tho
raw material markets nro still sleep
ing, notwithstanding that prices aie
really below cost of pioductlon nnd
ready to drop still lower if tlie pre
vailing offers do not Induce tiado to
tome out ot hiding. In enso of besse
mcr and tho foundry lions thoio is no
business, and no pi ices that are quot
able. HllletH have been sold as low as
$19. That rate on billets must mean
not more than $l!i for bessemer.
Whether It will go lower Is a serious
problem, as that is an unprofitable
flguie for produceis and fuinnces aro
long on such woik. It is fair to say
that today the idle futnaco capacity
will reach at least CO per cent, of tho
total productive capacity, and that
fuinnces are booked to go out of blast
this wuok.
Thoie has been within the past few
days an unusually brisk demand for
bars nt Chicago, sales tunning up to
30,000 or 40,000 tons for shipments ex
tending thioughout tho not twelve
months. Pi Ices have been named at
a range w hlch Is said to bo below cost.
ACRES Or VIOLETS.
Two New Vaiietles Have Been De-
vcloped in California.
1'iom the Mn FrancNto Cill.
To California belongs tho honor of
giving tho vvoild two vaiietles of vio
lets, which have been developed b.
Thomas II. Stevenson at his nuisery in
Mill Valley Each of tho new v amies
! distinctly Californlan in origin and
(Ultuie, and they aie, besides, teuT.rk
ably tlct in coloilng and bcau'v.
Tr.c two new vniltles aro both fiff
shoeds from the Pi Incess of Wales v io
b't whicrt was bi ought oei heie from
London several yeats ago One Is deep
blue, Ouihct in color and larger In si.e
than the Princess of Wales, and has
been named the Duihess of Mat thor
ough. It is a magnificent flower as re
gal ds size and coloilng, and should
soon take precedence over its parent,
the Princess of Wales, which has hoie
tofoio the most fa voted of all the vio
lets. The other new specimen, is, indeed,
a novelty, for its color is deep mngen
ta, almost tod. It is much smaller
than tlie Princess of Wales, but Mr.
Stevenson believes that another year
of e ultuie will add to Its size and the
rlchnes of its coloilng. It has been
named the Admiral Avellan.
The two niltles have boon Isolated
to plots by themselves in the nuisoiy,
whoto paitlcular cue will be given to
their development.
Tho violet ciae Is now at its height,
and no llower enjojs such populaiity
as that bestowed upon the lolet. Pci
luips in no othei city of the wot Id
would such a sight be witnessed as tho
dally piocesslon of violet buyers along
the street to tho Hot 1st shops and tha
comets wheie men and women, boys
and girls, aie earning many an honest
penn In pandeilng to tlie popular do
mind for lolets. Hundieds of ucies
adjacent to San Fianelseo nio devoted
to the culture of the llower, and the
dally shipments to the lloial ninikets
of tho city aro something stupendous.
KIPLING'S SERMON.
His Previous Work as n Beggar for
Other People.
Among tlie many parts which Rud
yaiel Kipling has played dining ills
eventful c.ueor It Is not generally
known that once at least ho success
fully figured ns a pieacher, says the
London Exptcss. It happened thus
wise. On board tho Empiess Liner on
which ho chanced to be ciosslng tho
Pacific a quartet mnster died, leaving i
widow and laige family. The follow
ing evening thete appealed on the
notice boatd, halfway down tho "en
tertainment progiamme," this btlef In
tlmntlon: "9 p. m. Seimon by a Lay
- -n."
Tho saloon was crowded with cutl
ous folk at tho appointed time, nnd
Mr. Kipling, from tlie front of nn im
pioviscd platform, piocoeded to preach
a begging sermon of sutne fifteen min
utes' length. The appeal was addressed
to his heutets' sense of Justice lather
than to their cliaiitablo impulses, a
foieshadovvlng of the Intel homily
whoso iff rain Is "Pass the lint for your
credit's sake."
Tho icsiilt was giatlfylng. From a
congiegatlon numbeilng fewer than
200, the sum of 70 odd wns raised a
piactlcal pi oof of eloquence that many
ptofessional pulpit oratois might sigh
for in vain.

Not Voting-Mr. Nagcll.
From nn nppnrontly good motive, Mr.
Cnlpln caused a postponement of tho
lltinl pnssage of the much-dlscusscet
ordinance impropriating $1,000 to tho
repair of West Market street.
When it came up on third tending
he asked that council go Into com
mittee of the whole for the purpose
of ntnendment nnd council acquiesced.
Mr. Calpln proposed nn ntnendment
providing that the money bo "expended
under the supervision of the sttect
commissioner." It was adopted. Un
der the law, tho oiellnanco has to
go over for one meeting. Tho next
meeting will bo two weeks hence. The
ordinance must yet run tho gauntlet
of three readings In select council.
Ev Idcnco of a preconcerted nttack on
the Judgments and Incidentals fuiid
was disclosed In two ordinances intro
duced respectively by Mr. Godshnll and
Mr. Galvin, tho one ttnnsf erring $125
to provide for a flic alarm box at tho
corner of Luzerne nnd Twenty-first
sticet, nnd $300 for a row permanent
man for the Centurys, tho other pro
viding for ten electric lights nt the
following street intersections. River
and Crown, Orchard and Crown,
Eighth nnd Elm, Eighth nnd Luzeme,
Seventeenth and Division, Dotothy and
Euclid, Dorothy nnd Lincoln, Meadow
and Locurt, Floiidn onel Reese, nnd
Theodore nent the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western tiacks.
NOT IN COMBINE.
Another ordinance npproprlatlng
$2S.hC to pay the claim of M. J. Ruddy
for extra woik on the DK court pave
ment, nlso provided for taking tho
money fiom tlie judgments nnd Inci
dentals fund, but it evidently was not
a part of the "combine," as It was
written by hand on the tegulntion
blank, while the others were typewrit
ten on note paper.
An ordinance was introduced by
Mr. Paine permitting the closing of
Kressler couit where It extends
thiough tlie plot that Is to be tho site
of the new armory. The court ends nt
the Eile and Wyoming Valley tracks
just to the i ear of tho armory site
and all tho property holders on tho
block agree in Uniting to its being
closed.
A resolution introduced by Mr. Phil
lips, extending tlie time for tho com
pletion of the Twelfth district sewer
by four months was reiorrcd to com
mittee. A lesolution introduced by Mr. Kel
ler, directing the city engineer not to
formally accept tho work of grading
Taylor avenue till the Joint streets
nnd bridges committee Inspects it, wits
adopted.
13ids were leceived as follows for tho
const! uctlnn of Section A of the Tenth
sewer ellstiict: John J. Fahey, $2.21
per lineal foot; O'Hara Hios., $2 10
For constructing tho proposed sower
on itnllroad avenue, only one bid was
received. It was fiom O'Hn'ia Pros.,
and was $1.3S per llnenl foot.
Concurrenco was given tho following
select council resolutions Directing
the city engineer to prepare plans for
three sewer basins in the Fourteenth
waul: permitting James Cummlngs to
pavo In front of his propeity on West
Lackawanna avenue; eiireciing in
election of a flio hydrant at tho corm-r
of Wyoming avenue and Luch street;
abating 75 per cent, of the taxes ot
ox-Common Councilman T. F. McGrall.
ON TWO READINGS.
Oidlnances weie passed on Hist nnd
second leading piovidlng for paving
Hlrch stioet. where it connects with
Cedar avenue; piovidlng for a third
permanent man for the Franklins;
piovidlng for llagston sidewalks on
Gibson stieet, between Oapouse anl
Washington avenues, Notth Main ave
nue, between Pettebone and Cemeterv
streets, and Providence road, between
Albright avenue and West Cubon

Tho lesignation of Councilman Zizel
mnn, the repiesentatlve fiom the
Eighth, to take effect July 31. when ho
will enter upon the olllce of chief of
the Hie department, was iccoived and
accepted. August 11 was fixed as the
time for the special election to choose

ODD FREAK OP NATURE.
Dest toying of Timber May Put an
End to It.
The oloailng up of tho woods epn
Nen th mountain has robbed that sec
tion of one of tho most icmaikablf
cuilosltles that remained in this part
of the wot Id. On the very summit of
the mountain, and about thiee and a
half miles fiom Lake Ganoga, there
was a sw ale-like place of sevoial acres
in extent where no trees ever grew, but
was coveied with a thick, rank gtowth
of mo.ss and fetus. In the summer there
was a few Inches of water, but under
nenth all was Ice. An old hunter dug
down seveial feet in the ico once to see
how thick It wns, but ho did not find
the bottom. The swale was In a little
valley, the southern end of which was
entliely occupied bj an Immciis-e boul
der, enthely dlffetent fiom tlie other
rocks In the neighborhood.
It was suiounded on all sides hy a
dense forest. Dining the lust live years
this foiest hns been cut down for the
baik and lumber, and tho Ice In the
valley is giadually melting. This year
It Is said theto ate seven feet of water
on top of tho Ico. Last year there wero
only four. This year the pond covers
an extent of about nine neies and U
a fnvoiite icsort of tho lumbermen on
nccount of the extreme coldness of tho
water.
Now for the explanation. Ages ngo
the glaciers ciept down from the north
and filled all the valleys to tho notth
of us. The southernmost limit teached
by thorn wns Noith mountain. One
binnch pushed itself a ways down the
valley of tho Loynlsock, but tlie vast
bulk;of the mountain formed nn effect
ual hairier to the giant liver of ico,
and learned men nie inclined to the be
lief Hint where this Ice pond Is was
the end of tho glacier. The little val
ley was gouged out by tho Immense
boulder that was shoved along hy tha
tenible weight of Ico. As the Ico cap
grnduhlly melted away this little valley
and its Ice remained unnffecteel by the
heat, and ns tho dense vegetation
sprang up nil atound, it wns protected
by tho shade and what little melted in
summer fiozo ngaln in winter. It might
havo remained for all time excopt for
the axo of tho lumberman.
Scientists aro very much Interested
now as to the depth of tho Ice. Evi
dently it will take at least another
summer to determine that point.
