'""' The spring-like weather of the past week linn moused the yearnings of base li.-ill enthusiasts mid the result Is that 'among the followers of the game there" Is a keener Interest and there Is more enthusiasm In discussing the prospects of the sport in Carbon dale this year. One things seems to be strongly Indi cated. That is that Cnrbondale will have the cracker jack amateur team of the valley. The fact that there Is to be a league team In Scranton will sort of overshadow the Interest among the amateur ' teams, so it is likely that there will be no junior teams in the Kleettie City looking for honors and purses. Carbomlnle will have an open Held, as it wore, and will not be obliged to meet this painful necessity of knock ing the conceit out of .Scranton "has beens" and "also ran." if however, there is a possibility of a team In that town becoming ambitious enough to tackle Carbondale, then the Crescents will be Johnny on the spot. There is a town culled Archbald down the valley that piped something a few weeks ago about having a team that could or might play Carbondale. These arc the kind of snaps the man agement of the Crescents is looking for, so the sweeping challenge that is here by made to any nine In Lackawanna county or Susquehanna county or Wayne county Is meant to particularly Include Archbald.- The Crescents man agement is exceedingly eager to hear from some club In any of the three counties mentioned particularly for the iipeniiiK ttyi"" c thu season. .. There is coimliUirablrf sjidoulatloil hh to what support to base ball In Car bondale will be given by the Scranton Railway company this season, In the event of the strike being settled, be foie the base ball weather arrives. Xothlng is expected nor will it be 'looked for, while the strike remains as there are too many sympathizers of the strikers among the players and friends to admit of such a hope. If, however, there is a settlement of the (llfllcultles, it would be safe to hazard the opinion that the railway company will be liberal in providing the team with uniforms and other aid. What might be regarded as assurances to this effect were received' this week. Another prospect that is being as eagerly discussed Is playing at Lake I.odore this season. The Lake Lodore Improvement company had the Cres- i AX KVBNTFUL DAY.

Its Effects Being Itcmoved fj'om Cnrbondalo's Streets by Eorct of Men Under City Engineer 34upp. A Herculean Task. ( The damage done to 'Carboijdale's streets by the recent Hood Is being expediently repaired by a force f men under tho direction of City jWglneer Kupp. j The task Is herculean, but jllje city engineer has properly sized mip the situation and the men In eft urge of Street Foreman Klleeu haw accom plished wonders In a few duyti. All of Seventh avenue and Eighth uremic are passable; both thoroughfares are safe to drive over. The Illllng halt not set tled yet, which will make It oniewhat hard on the horses, but otherwise the road Is all light. Drivers fun safely use either avenue, even the nlost timid. In a week or so, "when all) the frost leaves the ground, more lllliig will be necessary in several places.. The crown ing of the ditches will -niAi be done then. This will leave tiieife torn up thoroughfares in first class ondltion. The force Is now at work on i'ark street where the roadway whs likewise torn and uprooted, leaving JOg llssures like a mine cave-In. After Ihls section of the city is given .the needs, the city engineer will ttentlou It nuke visits to other places where the liivnc of the llood-'wiis less, but bad eifiugh how ever. Tho city engineer has thil and four teams at work. y-llve men This item work has will give an idea of What been accomplished in these streets tho past week. The dirt that was utilized to fill the fissures in the middle of the road and in some places '.along the sidewalk wits the identical! substance that was washed out and carried down the hills. Tons of it lodged Ut the foot of Seventh and Eighth avenues, so all that need he done was to ojrt It buck again and dump it when it came from originally. I The city engineer would l have the mud and ice that remain on Main street removed ere this, but the work of repair on the streets meiOned was imperatively necessary, nnu no men could be spared from the Kimf'. The expeditious manner iii Jhich the work of repair has progress?, Justifies anew the wisdom of the select on of Mr. Kupp for the ofllce of city engineer. CARBONDALIAN WITH NNES.

Thawing Snow Is Making the Lack awanna Overstep Its Bounds. The Lackawanna Is rising again. Tho thaw of tho past week has added a great volume of water to tho river and yesterday It was at the highest mink reached since tho Hood of two weeks ago, No damage has been done In Cnrbon dale, as the liver, while being exceed ingly high, has not come to the danger mark. South of the city, all the way to Scranton, the stream, swollen by mountain creeks, has broken through and Is coming dangerously close to tho railroads, particularly the Ontario and Western, at several points. The fact that the bunk or the river was broken down and washed away by the recent Hooding, gives the, water an unre strained course now. Tho Fallbrook creek wan a good-sized liver yesterday, but nuclear Is felt, us the channel Is wholly free of obstruc tion::. There Is a heap of snow on the moun tains north of Carbondale, railroad men say, and If there should bo a return oC the thaw of the past few days, there may be some Hooding of cellars along the rear of South Main street. BOY KICKED BY MULE. A Vicious Animal's Hind Eoot Lands on Driver's Eye Lad in the Hos pital. John llolden, a driver boy In No. 1 mine, met with a most distressing ac cident which. It was feared at first, would cost him the sight of ono eye. tiiilden drives a mule which is stub born and obstinate, and when urged or pushed is likely to become vicious. Yesterday forenoon the mule allowed some stubbornness, but afterwards he started i'or tho opening. It is a habit with the mule to stop just at the open ing, llolden followed after the animal, expecting him to stop as usual. Hut ho did not stand. Instead, he let his heels fly, catching the lud on the side of the head. Golden was knocked down by tho terrible force of the blow. When readied by those near liltn, he was stunned by the terrible force of the kick. There was an ugly bruise on bis right cm', which made his helpers fear that the organ had been forced out. II" was hastened to Emergency hospital, ami the eye surgeon of the institution called to attend him. It was found that- the e'e was not lacerated or broken. ' It was terribly bruised, but no Inllaiiimatioii appeared to be pieselil. This gave rlsu to the hop" that the sight will be- preserved. If no liitlammallon sets in, of which there is no indication now, tho eye will lie saved. The hoy is the son of John Colden, of Sand street. THE CONCERT BY INNES. Greatest Musical Treat Known in Carbondale in Several Years. limes and his superb band were in Carbondale yesterday, and with the matinee concert they gave at the Grand they provided the finest musical feast which Carbondale has known for years. The programme was declared before hand to bo the most popular that lie could offer, as It was made up from the two programmes that ho usually gives. However true this may he, it Is certain that no one would ask for a more popular selection. H gave the best of satisfaction. The audience was thrown Into ecstacles with the harmony and melody and soul-stirring music and its satisfaction was mani fested in rapturous applause. The descriptive Fantasia of Kubin steln made tho greatest hit of the earlier numbers, and from that time on lnnes made the pleasant discovery that hu hud an nudleuco behind him that was tho very soul of apprecia tion and which might be willllng to sit several hours longer and revel In the Nlellght that the music of his men pro duced, limes, too, not to be outdone in generosity, met ihe wishes of the en thusiastic audience with repeated en cores. These comprised selections from "Florodora," several popular coon songs, and an arrangement of the na tional airs "Columbia" and "Dixie" that almost brought the audience to Its feet. lionhelmer Kyii, tho cornet soloist, played as no man over before played on that Instrument In Carbondale, and thereby won such favor with his de lighted hearers that ho was not allowed to remain in his placo until ho an swered these Insistent demands. Ills work was certainly a feature of the afternoon of music, Tho selections that worn sung from "Carmen" by Slgnor Hevln, tenor; Sig ner Albertl, baritone, and Slgnora Horglil, soprano, wore artistic. Sig ner Alberti's rendition of tho Torea dor song was magnificent. Tho audience, It was a pleasure to observe, was a good sized one. Gone to Philadelphia. Charlie Hull, tho fireman, left yester day for Philadelphia, where ho will enter tho Wills Eye and Eur Infirm ary or Ilia University of Pennsylvania hospital. Hr. W. W. Fletcher, tho spe cialist, who has been treating Hull's eyes dining his trouble, accompanied him to arrange for his lintranco to the hospital and tho treatment of ills case, "Jack" McGownn Out on Ball, "Jpek" Mci!owtU, who was sent to jail somo weeks ago on tho complaint of his former wife, wus released yes terday by tho court.

John MeDonoitgh, of tho "Hush," who wns wanted for beating ono of two Arabian women venders, was ar rested early yesterday morning by Constable Ncary, who got to the IioiIbo while, his man was yet In bed. Later In the day, McUonough was arraigned be fore Alderman Jones who committed him to jail, lu default of ball, on, two charges, assault and battery and lar ceny, the taking of several dollars' worth of articles from the peddler's pack, A clearer story of the trouble was gotten nt .the heating. It appears that! the McDonoughs trailed with tho Arab Ian women and owed tho latter a dollar and a half when they called at the house on Wednesday nftcrnoon. Tlio Arabians say that the McDonoughs paid a dollar on account, and' then went through their stock and selected different articles valued at nearly sev en dollars. When the peddlers Insisted on payment, then, McDonough they said, became angered and grabbing one of them by the throat, threw her down and then kicked her In the side as she lay prostrate and' helpless. The other woman tried to get Into the house, after the pair were put out, to recover the articles taken from the packs, when Mrs. McDonough, she said, shut the door against her. Her linger caught and yesterday she showed a broken finger as the consequence of her treatment. t McDonough denied everything that the women said. There were numerous of the neighbors, however, who wit nessed the fearful assault as It occurred out In the yard. Tile woman who was assaulted suf fered severly while in the alderman's olllce. Her side pained her Intensely. She was urged to go to tho Emergency hospital for treatment, but heroically took herself home. BAND MEN IN BESTAUBANT. Innes' Musicians Empty Larder of Coddington & Thompson. There was an amusing Incident In connection with the visit of lnnes' band to this city yesterday. A few of tlie musicians stopped at the two prin cipal hotels, but as the stay In tills city was only from morning until tho ii.Ofi Delaware and Hudson train, which took them to Wllkos-Rarre, where they gave ii concert last night, the great majority of them sought the restau rants of the town for their dinners. The .Imperial on North Main' street, was the favorite place. At 11 o'clock they began to swarm In and kept com ing In such numbers that the restau rant larder, which was not prepared for such an onslaught, began to peter out. Ky 1 o'clock tho regular dinner, served dally, wus ut a premium. Those who had been served were of course satis fled, but the dozen or nioro wlirj were not the, first to come, felt quite empty when they heard that dinner would not be served until the next day. This was the least of their misfortune. They had to wifhstand the good-natured jibes Of their more fortunate brethren, who poked any amount of fun at them foi; their' tiinUness. However, nil's well that ends well. The restaurant had a good stock of pies and sandwiches and an nbund uneo of coffee, and a 'goodly number of these went under the tight-fitting coats of the musicians. . PEOPLE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC. Carbondale Society Agog Over the Big Charity Ball. Society in this city and vicinity is agog over tho big charity ball, which will take place in the new armory at Scranton Easter Monday night.

That break down threatens every man who has "stomach trouble." AVe cat to sustain life. IJut life is .sustained by what we cat only in proportion as the food eaten is perfectly di gested and assimilated. Food that is not digested' and assimilated serves no purpose of nutrition. It "does serve to burden the stomach, poison the blood, clog the system and open the way for disease generally. That " little touch oi nuligestion " nitic nolo in the vessels side, which, in time, will let in enough water to sink her. If you have stomach trouble in any form, cttrc it.

Diseases of the stomach and other organs' of digestion and nutrition are perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, and so restores physical strength in the only way possible, by nutrition. "Thanks to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. Charles II. German, of Lehigh ton, 1 a.

Similarly, people who use "Golden Medical Discovery" for 'the cure of disease of the stomach wonder why when Hie stomach is cured the other diseases in liver, kidneys, blood, etc., are cured too.
