STHE CRESCENTS
MEET DEFEAT
, The Hard-Hitting South Siders, o
Blocum Hollow, Win an Exciting
V
Contest.
The day was cool, dark nnd dreary;
- It rained, and the wind was never
, weary:
1 But the crunkB on the battleground nil
did meet,
And watched their "pets" go down In
defeat. Shorlfcllow.
" The above extract relates. In as Tew
- words as possible, yesterday's weather
conditions and, Incidentally, that the
Crescent base ball team, our crack or
ganization, met defeat at the hands of
a clever nine from the South Side of
Sqran'ton, by a score of 7-0. The vic
tors are not our superiors by any
means, but In a game characterized by
loose playing and ragged- fielding they
happened by chance to score one run to
'the good. The numerous errors in tho
appended score given below Is due,
probably, to the slippery condition of
tho ball; nevertheless, a far better ex
hibition of tho national pastime was
expected by tho 3,000 spectators pres
ent. "
Tho "Thugtown" contingent, who
have not yet recovered from their
crushing defeat by the Crescents on
' Wednesday last, were there and cheered
loudly for the visitors. They occupied
"a way back and sit down" position;
'that Is, the southern end of the field
nearest No. 8 hill. They were well
caged by tho ground policeman, how
ever, nnd did no material damage. Of
course, the "knockers" were also pres
ent and, as usual, rooted for the op
ponents. The home team appeared for the first
time in their new uniforms and, al
though they did not win, made a de
cided hit with the crowd, as, far as the
outfit went. They are a light grey,
with blue belt, and tho word "Crescent"
across the breast in tho same color.
Their stockings and jerseys arc white,
with stripes of blue. 'The caps are the
same material as tho suits, with the
letter C on the front. They are the
very best material sold by Spauldlng,
and were received through their local
agent, Joseph Gilhool.
Well, to return to the game. The
Crescents took the field and did, not re
tire tho required three men until their
opponents had scored two runs, as a
result of McAndrew hitting two men
nnd an error by Cuff. In the Crescents'
half they were retired without a run.
In the second, both sides were blanked.
The third brought three scores for
Scranton, all gifts through errors, and
one hit by Boland. The Crescents were
blanked until the fifth, when Loftus,
who ran for McAndrew, scored by
stealing second and coming home on a
wild pitch.
In the seventh the local team got
their eye on the sphere and hits by
Murray, Cuff, Emmett and McHale
tallied five runs, making the score 6-G
In our favor. The opponents were
blanked time after time until the
eighth, when Dyer scored as a result
of a neat steal of second, followed by
a hit of Boland's.
The score was then even ud, and
things started to get Interesting. In
their half of the ninth, Harrison scored,
Loftus was blocked in throwing by
Moon, who was batting. Crane then
scored on a single by McDonald.
In CaTbondalc's half, Emmett got to
first on an error and made his way to
third on a passed ball. But Harte;
Gallaghy and .McHale were not equal
to the occasion and the side was re
tired. The score:

MR JORDAN A CANDIDATE.
Looking for the Senatorial Nomina
tion on the Republican Ticket.
Attorney J. B. Jordan, of this city,
has announced his candidacy for the
Republican senatorial nomination. Mr.
Jordan has received unlimited en
couragement from his friends In this
city and Scranton, since he has intimat
ed to them that he was considering the
advisability of entering the fight for
senator and has been prompted by them
to a great extent in coming to its deter
mination.
As Carbondale and this end of the
district has not in a great many years
received any recognition from the party
as regards the senatorial nomination it
would appear that Mr. Jordan's chances
for tho nomination are unusually bright.
Should he be successful lnhis fight for
the nomination he will receive the un
divided support of tho party in this
city in the battle for a chair In the
senate.

It's not what things cost us now, but what will sell thein that regu

All Summer Goods must be swept out, at once. ,
It looks like an early fall. N
Our buyers, returning from market are full of the enthusiasm of new
things.
As fast as train can bring them they'll go on sale,
But not for a few weeks yet.
While we're waiting many tens of thousands of dollars' worth of

It will be a lively August.

BEST HESULTS IN" EXERCISE.
They Do Not Eequire tho TJse of
Fanciful Appliances.
From Success.
Instead of wearing out their strength
in contortion machines, relief-seekers
should flee to the woods and tho moun
tains, should pitch their tents in some
neighboring wooded highlands and
share tho fun of hoeing out a trail to
the next spring; should gather rasp
berries In tho deep clefts, and climb
trees in quest of squirrels' nests:
should fetch their own fuel from tho
pine-knot bottoms, nnd nrrango expe
ditions to tho highest peaks In tho
neighborhood,
In that manner, a two-weeks' camp
in Elysium will sulllco to luy In a re
serve storo of health for several months
of town life; nnd, besides, experience
will prove that work with a practical
purpose and the stimulus of visible re
sults enables an Invalid to beguile him
self into an amount of exercise unat
tainable by tho manual of tho hori
zontal bar.
In stress of circumstances, city
dwcller3 mny try tho compromise of
an amateur curpenter shop, or, like
Elthu Burrltt, get an anvil to hammer
out biliousness and blue devils.
Turner-hnlls, though, nro encourag
ing signs of tho times, and tho healing
art would enter a new era of buccess
If the patrons of the nostrum-monger
could bo persuaded to try Dr. Boer
haave's plan and "counteract the dis
orders of tho human organism mechan
ically, Instead of chemically, by chop
ping down a bltterwood tree, Instead of
swallowing a decoction of its nauseous
leavos."
Tho moral healing art, too, Is Im
portant; It Is equally Important; for
self-reliance has po mure insidious foe
than the despondency that so often
follows tho abuse of drugs, and yields
permanently only to tho magic of out
door exercise.
Movement-cure nesoclatlona nre' tho
harbingers of that reform, and the time
may be near when invalids who insist
on "taking something" will bo advised
to "tako a whack' av'tho woodpile," or
a walk In tho park.

A SPIDER'S WEB.

During the lato summer and in tho

the drunge arglope. It Is Interesting
to see how iMllfuUy tho spider managen
her hugr piey. The Instant It becomes
entangled she rushes to it and, spread
ing her spinnerets far apart, she fastens
a broad sheet of silk to it; then by a
few dexterous kicks sho rolls Jt over
two or throe tlmea and It is securely

Tho male of the orange arglope la
much smaller than the female, and It

best trained eyes. Ho lives on a Bhabby
Utile web, which ho builds near tho
web of the female. In the autumn tho

largo as a hickory nut. This Is sus
