And it rained the 'same night! We won as wc said before, the ninth game out of cloven. And wp won de cisively. Wc won because we batted the ball, batted It hard. Our pets made li hits. They ,weru well placed; 'scientific batting the base ball writer calls it; "Chuck" Connors said it "wns bltnn de ball fur fnlr.' Call it what you will, it won the day for us. Wc earned 4 runs, Susquehanna none. This 'alone without the aid of the eleven er rors of Susquehanna would leave us away to the good. We won also because we fielded in quick, sharp. "Jonny-on-the-spot" plays. We had four errors, but they cut no Ice for Abo Sahm's new water barrel. We won because well wo won that'3 all there is to it, so all hall to our "pets." Cuff had a great batting record; his average for the game was S00. Out of 5 times up, ho made 4 hits; two of them weie corking two baggers. Our Owney, beside holding Susque hanna's heavy hitters down to nine hits' 'and striking out 5 of them, he made two hits, one which sailed out Into deep left and landed him on second base. Every man on the team hit the ball, with the exception of Jtosler, who had the hardest kind of hard luck. He knocked one to third base that looked nil the world to be safe, but third baBeman Lannan cat it up. Emmett Gallagby, Harte and Mc Andrew, each, had two hits. The fielding of Rosier was brilliant; the greatest of the game. He captured two flys after long runs that anybody would gamble were good for hits. His quick return of balls amazed some of the strangers, to whom such quick work among amateurs was a novelty. Murray added to his reputation ns the best third baseman in the valley or In Wayno or Susquehanna. His fly catch after a run and Jump was great. Cuff, at first, was Jonny, O. K. Ten chances, without the semblance of a mlsnlay. O'Gara worked hard against his former townsmen, but now and then they landed, when It was just the time and aided by errors the runs came in. It wasn't Tommy's fault. The detailed score was: CRESCENTS. A.B. R. II. O. A. E. turray. Ob f, l l l l Rosier. If (i 1 0 3 0 0 Cuff.

Passes Over This City, but Floods Waymart Holds Up a D. and H. Train for Several Minutes. Curbondalo just escaped a wild sum mer storm last night. It blew over the city and broke crossing tho Mooslcs, flooding the country east of us, almost deluging Waymart, at tho foot of the mountain. About G.S0, the skies darkened, and great banks of black clouds began to roll up. Residents who were on porches, after the evening meal, with drew to the Inside to avoid the threat ened deluge. The wind veered, how ever, to tho cast and carried the storm until tho ruln-illled clouds were over the summit of the Mooslcs on the heights of Farvlew. Here they broke, and swept down the 'mountain side, carried by tho hurricane force of the wind over tho fertile plain that sweeps this country to Honcsdale. At Waymart, it was a cloud-burst that deluged tho village with a rain such as was hardly ever seen there be fore. The Delaware and Hudson pas senger train from Honcsdale pulled Into the station in the midst of the down pour. A small boy was the flrst of the passengers to alight. When ho stepped onto the platform and darted for the Inviting open door of tho station, he was caught by the rain that poured off the car roof Jiujt life a waterfall and was knocked to the ground. Brakeman William Cliff rushed to his aid and carried the youngster back to Fafety on the car. In doing so. Cliff was soaked to the skin, though it was only an in stant's work. Tho downpour was so heavy that no passengers could leave the train for nearly ten minutes. Sharp flashes of lightning illuminated the darkened scene and hall not as big ns hen's eggs, but larger than marbles beat a merry tattoo and cracked numerous window-panes. Gar dens were flooded and torn up and considerable damage was visited on the crops. It was one of the worst storms that ever came down the Moosies. DEATH OF MRS. SOLOMON. Esteemed Jermyn Woman Succumbs After Operation. Mrs. Solomon, relict of the late John Solomon, of Jermyn, died In Dr. AVhceler's hospital last evening about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Solomon was hurriedly taken to tho hospital on Saturday afternoon to be operated on for general appendi citis. She was taken sick on Wednes day nnd her condition became desper ate so rapidly that tho only chance for her life lay In operating. The opera tion was undertaken late Saturday nf teernoon, but the disease had sapped so much of her vitality that she made no rally. She sank until death came, shortly after 6 o'clock last evening. Mrs. Solomon's death will affect a wide circle of friends in Carbondalo, her former home, and In Jermyn, whore she wns held in affectionate regard. The suddenness of her demise accen tuates tho grief of her taking away. Mrs. Solomon lived In Carbondale for a long time, where her husband was In tho saloon business. Ho moved to Jer myn, where ho kept tho St. George hotel. She was related to Robert Max well, of this city, and to tho Welgand family. JOE COOPER'S STATEMENT. Disavows Connection with Movement to Change Strikers. For a couple of weeks it has been freely passed nbout that the Delaware and Hudson company hns lind agents among tho striking employes, urging them on various pretexts to desert and return to work, which was nt their command. In connection with these rumors, the Identity of the so-called agents was llxed, which gave moro force to tho stories. One whoso name was freely passed was Joe Cooper, of iho West Side, a former special policeman und regarded somewhat us a lender among a certain Itullun element of tho town's foreign population, It was talked of among tho miners, without much quali fying, that Joo wus un earnest worker among the Italians und wus getting them in line to return to work before the strike would bo declared off, Mr. Cooper, however, comes out with a vehement denial and requests Tho Tribune to state that he has hud no connection or Identity with any move ment to Induce any ot his countrymen to return to work. "I could get work the first day after the strike went on," Bays Mr. Cooper, "but I would not go, I don't belong to this miners' union, but I um not going back t,o work until the others go, und I am not going to try to coux any one else." Why Cooper's name was connected with the alleged strike-breaking move ment can probably be explained by his having been among the Italians of the town for the past, few weeks with ref erence to their naturalization, papers. He has been gqttlng over a scoro of them ready to 16 their papers, and during his tlmo among them, getting their signatures, etc., tho belief arose that his activity was due to tho pur ported strike-breaking movement, Mr, Cooper states ho has boen ex ceedingly annoyed by these stories, which arc without foundation, nnd that nu odium rests on him by reason of tho hastily Indulged In gossip of some of the miners. In the spirit of fnlr play, he nslts that these Unfair judg ments of him bo recalled. STRIPPLINGS IN CAMP. Crowd of Punmakers Leave for Crys tal Lake.

Tho original atmosphere of tho earth before animal life existed consisted es sentially of nitrogen nnd carbonic add, pur supply of atmospheric oxygen has been furnished by tho great forests of vegetation, such us tho coal ferns, whlcfl covered tho earth In tho Carbon iferous age, when tho coal beds woio formed, Tho same conditions, only on a Binaller scale continue to prevail; but It Is not likely thut tho oxygen given out by prcsont vegetation Is, or will be, sulllclent to koop pace with Its enormously Increasing consumption by man. Lord Kelvin bus estimated that if the present consumption of coal In human Industries continues wfth any thing like its present ratio of Increase, tho grout coal-measures will bo ex hausted, and thq oxygen of our atmos phere practically consumed by Its combustion, within the noxt four or five centuries.
