FIRST PLAYER IB SIGNED.
Fnst Westerner Secured for Scrnnton
by Manager Lawson.
The oliMlme biipe ball fans of Sciun
toti havo lecelvcd A. W. Law son, the
new mnlioRcr of the Hctnnton club, with
gieat eoidlnllty since his nrilvnl In thlx
cltv, mid It begins to look ns If the old
time Intel est In the national trnmo Is
about to icvlve.
"Wo don't cure what lenRtie wo arc
connected with," said one enthusiast
yestculay, ,"ns Ions as we nie lepte
Rented by a good llvelytenm of play
ets, who will win a imtjotlty of their
gunies and gU'r- us clean, honest sport."
And thut Is JiiBt what Mnnoger Lawson
Intends dohifr securing u team ot
young, hustling, ambitious playeis, who
have their lepntatlons yet to mtilte and
capable of limiting them right hero In
Hcianion. A team of gentlcmanlv ball
players, who will bo a ciedlt, as well as
an advertisement, to the city.
As Air, Lnwson has had ten veins'
oxpeilenco ns a minor league manager
and semal jctus as a player, It Is safe
to sav that he knows n ball nlavur
when ho sees one, nnd wheio to go to
secuio them. Over iirty star playeis of
the National. Aineilcan nnd Hnstein
leagues hae gi minuted fiom teams
which Mr. Luwson has mnnnged dm lug
thp past.
The 1'tnnsylvanla league, us now
composed, takes In sis cities Scrnnton,
YVIlkes-TCarie, Reading, Lancaster, Leb
anon and Ilus'telon, but nt the next
meeting, which Is to be held nt Read
ing, Febiuaiy 20, It mny be decided to
inn ease tne inemboislilp to eight cities,
as them am soveial other good ball
towns of the state which aie anxious to
get Into the ill cult. Theie seems no
good reason why Pennsylvania should
not suppoit a good stiong state lmc
ball league peimnnently, as well as New
Yoik and other states, which witness
championship stiuggles eveiy year.
Manager Lawson lias ahead v begun
the wo.'I; of selecting and signing his
plnyeis for the coming bouson. The Hi f-t
man to send In his signed conttact Is
Roger Goiton. of Bancioft, Mich. Got
ten is an outfieldei and a good one, if
his lecoid goes for an thing. Ho be
gan his piofot.slonal career in 1S95 with
the champion Knl.imnoo club of the
Michigan State league, and jumped
right into piomlnence by leading his
team in batting and base-tunning and
the league in fielding. In 1S9C he was
:i member of the Birmingham, Ala.,
club of the Southern league, again lead
ing the league In fielding and base-running
and standing sixth in batting, In
1897 he plajed with the Mansfield, Ohio,
club of the Interstate league, standing
second In fielding and fouith in batting
In 1899 lie played with Al. Law son's
Andeison, Ind, club of the Cential
league. He stood first in fielding and
base-running and third In batting. In
1900 he again plajed under Al. Law
son's management at Peoiia, 111, Cen
tral league. Last season he plajed with
the Toledo, Ohio, club of the Western
association.
"Goi ton is one of the fastest outfield
eis and base-iunneis in the (ountiy,"
said Manager Lawson, "and I expect
hiin to do good woik for the Scranton
team this season Fuitheimoie, ho Js a
gentlemanly fellow and peifectlj le
llable at all times."
The old Athletic giounds, which will
be used this season for the league
games, weie Inspected by Manager
Lawson Satin day. A gieat many le
palts to the fence and ginudstand aie
needed, also new blcacheis will hae to
be constructed. Ho s lys that about
00 will put the park in good shape
again.
DISAGREEABLE WEATHER.
Slushy Snow Stoim and Then a Cold
Wind.
About as disagieeable "weathei as was
cier dished out by the weather buieau
for this pirt of PennsyKnnl.i was
sened lesterdav and last night.
It began in the eaily moining with
a slight dilzzle, which continued until
about 11 o'clock, when a tenlflc down
pour of snow of the aiiely Known as
"wet," set in. This continued almost
without inteimlsslon until about I
o'clock in the afternoon, leaving tlueo
inches of slush on the stieet and ren
detlng walking almost impossible.
The theimometer began to diop just
befoio sundown and ubout S o'clock n.
heavy wind sot In and blew neaily all
night, freezing the slushy stieets and
rendering them exceedingly dangeious
for walking.
The snowfall In Caibondnlo and noith
of that city was particulaily heavy, and
Ontario and Western and Delawnie
and Hudson tiahib weie delajed as a
consequence.
'
FEAST OF PURIFICATION.
Blessing of Candles Took Place In
Catholic Churches.
Yestculay was the Feast of the Puil
flcatlon, according to the ecclesiastical
calendar. Tt is commonly called Can
dlemas, from the fact thnt on this day
in the Catholic chuicli, the caudle-
used during the ear aio blessed.
The day has also come to be called
"Giound Hog Day," from the old su
peistltlon that if Candlemas Is lali
penmttlng the giound hog to smi hN
shadow, the lenialnder of the winter
will be seieie, and lice veisa,
If this holds tt ue, In thosr parts
thpio is likelihood of a iciy catly
Hpiing, with the most delightful
weather Intel veiling, for jesteiday was
one of the most inlseuiblo in the mut
tci of weather thut has been supplied
so far this winter. It mined, sleeted,

who could not avoid it vontuiPd out.

couit, West Scinnton, who ilsltcd the
JJuice liotiso on Noith Biomley avenue,
and subsequently repotted to councils
that the board of health had been neg

He is tho ninth victim, whose case
can be directly tinced to the Uiace

Tin co deaths have already ociunod us

Rumors weie cut rent jesteiday to
the effect that a woman named Wil

that theie is no evidence of the disease
in cither case.
The attack of Mis. William Alls

Mejeis, who is in charge.
He also denies that Peimanenl Man
Moigan has lslted his biothei, W. J.
Moigan, of Svvetland stieet, who is a
sinall-pos victim. The only time the
brothei s talked togethei, Mejeis says,

W. J. Morgan was going home from

Supeiintendent Feiber, when inteuo
