CARBONDALE WINS,
Crescents Defeat tho Mighty (P)
Tigers of Ilonesdnle in a Game nt
Lake Lodore The Score 10 to G.
Tlv mighty (?) "Tlgern" of Hones
dale were completely routed by the
Crescents, the crackajack team from
this city, In an Interesting game nt
Lake Lodore yesterday afternoon. Tho
score was 10 to 6.
The game was Cnrbondnle's all the
time nnd the only occasion In which
things seemed to be going Mnple city
wny wns In the fifth Inning, when the
Tigers put themselves one ahead of
the gnme In the last Inning the Cres
cents made good, scoring four runs.
The team work of the Crescents was
admlrnhle and In giving credit there
doesn't seem to be a single player who
can be given more praise than nnother.
Smith nnd Loftus nnd Hc.ssllng and
Veeter were the batteries.
There was a great aggregation of
rooters from Corbondale nnd Hones
dale, nnd there wns vociferous cheer
ing nnd a running fire of "kidding"
from the beginning to the end of the
contest.
If there Is one thing more than nn
other that the result of the game will
bring nhout It Is the checking of th"
exuberance of the Ilonesdnle corre
spondents who have spent the week In
throwing hoquets at their "Tigers."
WORK FOR LAFAYETTE SMITH.
The Vidocq of Wnymnrt Has a Case
of Probable Incendiarism to En
gage His Skill.
Lafayette Smith "Lafe" Smith
when the title Is stripped of Its dig
nity the vigilant village policeman ot
Waymart, hns an Important ense on
his hands, one that will engage his
skill to solve. The Wonnacott saw
mill was destroyed by fire late Friday
night and as there was nothing about
the place to cause n blaze, 11 number
of the residents are "pot" In their
opinions that the only Industry of the
village was "sot" afire. It Is this mys
tery that Policeman Smith has under
taken to unravel and If "Lafe" does
not unravel It, It's because there's no
unraveling to the thing.
This Is the first hnppenlng that has
stirred Lafayette since he brought
nbout so completely the downfall of
the flourishing "capital of Waymart."
the speakeasy that became an Intol
erable nuisance to the law nnd order
abiding citizens of that community.
As In that Instance Policeman Lafay
ette Smith holds the good name above
nil else, and If It Is In his power lv
menus to suppress the lnwiefs spirits
who might drift Into the peacenhle life
of Wnymnrt nnd give play to their
mischief.
Speaking of Mr. Smith It might bo
mentioned that he possesses nn his
torlcal name of which few persons can
boast. He Is known and called La
fayette, hut this Is only a fragment of
his surname. In full It tuns as fol
lows: Marie Jean Paul Roach Ives ed
Gilbert Marquis de Lafayette Smith.
The good naturcd policeman would not
burden his friends with addressing
him f-o; plain "Lafe" Smith Is good
enough.

MR. BRYDEN
ELECTED PRINCIPAL
Tho Resignation of Director Hock
onberry, Who does to Oregon,
Causes Differences to Be Set Aside.
High School Faculty Chosen.
Other Hoard Matters.
Ptof. William D. Rryden was elected

nt the meeting of the board of educa
tion on Saturday; also all of the teach

nnn were elected ns additional teachers,
nnd Miss Mame Lally nnd Miss Anna
Stephens were selected to net as sub
stitute teachers nt a salary of $25 per
montn.
The election of Principal Rryden for
nnother year broke the deadlock which
at the last meeting of the board, on
Wednesday evening last, tied up all of
the teachers of the high school faculty.
The breaking of the deadlock was
due primarily to the resignation of
Director H. J. Hockenberry, who will
leave next week to accept a promising
ro.sltlon in LeOr.'Uid, (Oregon. Mr.
Hockenberry wns on the side that op
posed the election of Prfessr Rryden.
Mr. Gallagher, who was with Mr. Hock
enberry In bis opposition to Professor
Rryden, believing that nothing could
be gained by continuing the deadlock,
even though his side was of the opin
ion that it was in the rlcht. and fore
seeing that possibly the opposition
would elect n successor to Mr. Hocken
berry who would carry the day with
them nnd seat Mr Rryden. decided to
end the tlc-np nnd cast his vote with
the other side. This gave Mr. Rryden
tho requisite number of votes. Presi
dent Hughes nnd Mr. Hockenberry re
mained firm to the Inst and voted
against Professor Rryden.
W. R. Evans, of Terrace street, wns
elected to succeed Mr. Hockenberry,
whose resignation was presented anil
accepted.
Mr. Hockenberry's severance of re
lations with the hoard was marked by
kind words from President Hughes nnd
Mr. Swlgert, who paid him sincere
compliments during their brief talks.
The board allowed an average In
crease of $5 to the school Janitors nnd
contracts weie directed to be made
with them for one year. The question
of tho salary of Janitor Lewis, of No.
9 school, however, was not disposed of
nnil it wns put over until a later meet
ing.
Superintendent Garr presented a re
port on the progress of the plans for
having the school children participate
In the semicentennial celebration. In
accepting the report, the building com
mittee wns directed to see to It that
the school buildings were fittingly
decorated.

wns appralfcod nnd sworn nut a wnr
rnnt before Justlc of the Pence S. W.

boldly entered the plnce. taking what
money they could find nnd filling their
pockets with fruit nnd candy, would

Plttston, Aug. IS. Despite yester
day's unfavorable- weather the cele
bration of the Italians of this vicinity
at the Aest Plttston fair grounds
proved very successful, attracting n
large nttendnnce not only of Itnllans
hut of all nationalities. The only dis
appointing feature was the nbtence of
the fireworks, the New York gentle
man who had this feature In charge
falling to nrrlve. It Is announced, how
ever, that tho display will take place
Monday evening without fail. Dur
ing the afternoon n huge number ot
balloons were started skyward. A re
markable occurrence thnt hns prob
ably never happened before nnd may
not hnpnen ngaln within a thousand
years, was the return of one of the bal
loons nfter n half hour's milling. When
the balloon wns stnrted theie wns a
northenst wind blowing which later
changed to n southwest breeze, carry
ing the balloon bnck irfter It hnd been
list sight of nnd almost forgotten. It
fell within fifteen feet of where It
started. The special feature of the af
ternoon wnr the base ball game be
tween the Rrothors' team of Ham
town and the Apple RIostoms. of West
Plttston, which proved a very Interest
ing exhibition for the first three In
nings, after which the Rrothers took a
batting streak nnd securerl Mich n lead
ns to which the limb hmhnrgohmb ao
ns to dishearten their opponents, and
win the game by the score of 20-tl.
The Rlossonrs however, put up a
strong game considering the seml
profefslonals they were up against.

Subscription lifts are helng eirrulat
ed among the members of St. John's
pirlsh here for a substantial token of
esteem to be presented to Monslgnor
Garvey before his departure from this
city for his new field of labor at Al
toonri. About 9 o'clock Saturday night con
siderable excitement was created In
the central part of the city, when a
pistol shot rang out on the still night
air. It came ftom the alley In the
rear of Main street, between Rroad
and William streets, and thither a
large crowd hurried. Thnt no crime
was chronicled was due to the poor
aim of a man named ('awley. who
adopted nn unusually severe method of
Inflicting punishment on n misbehaved
son. The latter had tied from his
father' presmce and wns making
good speed up the alley mentioned,
chased by the Irnte fnthep. The son
enslly succeeded In distancing his
father, however, nnd the lntter, not to
be outdone, pulled 11 revolver and Hied,
hut fortunately missed his mark.
Another big cave. In of the workings
of the old Rutler colliery dropped the
tracks of the Lehigh Valley railroad's

night. The cave, was about twenty
feet in width and fully 200 feet long,
nnd tho track fell a distance of five
feet. The cave was fortunately rs.
covered by a track walker, and trains
flagged before any accident had oc
curred. Plttston and vicinity had n good
shar-H of the heavy storm which passeif
over this section of the state within
the last twenty-four hours. There was
but little wind and lightning, however.
I but the rain fell heavily all night and
thin morning Rut little damage was
done ns fnr ns. could be learned, the
telephone nnd electro light wire's suf
fering the most. The city was In
darkness all last night. In the vicin
ity of Falling Springs the storm wns
quite severe. Lnrge trees' were up
rooted nnd railroaders say the windows
In several locomotives were blown In.

Ie..s either for pleasure or business,
for the evening was well along by the

hours In the trip to New York nnd two
of the useless evening hours In the
