OLD TIMERS AT HILTON Tbe Old Timers played a gamo of base ball with the strong Milton team on Saturday. The Milton aggregation found a foe worthy of its stool in the Old Timers,winning ont at the elev enth inning on a score of 4 to 3. Danville scored on first inning,while it was not until the sixth inning that Milton was able to score. The pi toll ing on both sides was flue, MoOlond for Danville having the host of it. Mil ton was able to mak« 6 hits in eleven inning*; Danville made ten hits. Altogether the game was one of the beat played in this section for a long time. Teams that*go np against the Old Timers kuow that they must have tried and true players. ; iienoe it is ob served this season that all the teams that play the Old Timers are made np principally of college boys. These real ize that they must play good ball to win and they do their best work. As a result of all this the games this sea son are olose and interesting. The Old Timers possess the secret of making every play count. That Baori floe hitting is an important faotor in run getting was demonstrated at Mil ton Saturday. In all iustanoes when a player readied first base the following battar endeavored to advauoo him by saorlflolng. Logan who waa such a favorite in Danville having signed with Milton, Manager MoOoy was obliged to get a new ihort stop for Saturday's game. Oharies Howell of Northumberland, who made an impression when lie play ed here with the Bucknell Reserves, was given a trial at Bhort stop aud oame fully up to expectations as the soore attests, aooeptiug nine chances without an error. While lie failed to hi( safely on Saturday there is every reason to believe that under the in struction of Oaptain Yerriok he will develop into a good bitter before the season is over. The umpiring was poor iu the Mil ton game, although none of the decis ion* seemed to reflect any iutentiou to wilfully deprive either team of its just does. A big crowd of rooters, sixty or more, followed the Old Timers to Mil ton and these made their prosenoe felt dnring the game. The oontest was witnessed by a large assemblage. The saore: OLD TIMERS.

RELIEVE FLOOD' " CONDITIONS To the people who are eudeavoring to ouforce llie I.IWB relating to tlia fill ing of the river bod by culm mid other obstructions the action recently taken by the Jr. O. U. A. M.,of Harrisliurg, will prove enconraging. The people in 1 that section of the stato are almost as badly inconvenienced by the periodi cal floods in the Susquehanna as are the people in this section. For that reason the Jr. O. U. A. M. has taken up the matter and will use its vast membership for the purpose of secur ing laws to remedy the difficulty. The members of John Harris Coun cil, No. 174. of Harrisburg have passod the following resolutions: Whereas, the filling in along the shores of the Susquehanna river and the placing of obstructions in the riv er, suoli as bridge piers, etc., by cor porations for profit, and Whereas, said obstructions have in creased the danger ot floods to the residents aloug said river,thereby cans ing great damage to property which, we belive.oau be remedied to a oertaiu extent, by the deepening of the chan nel, aud preventing any more .filling in aloug the shores; thereforo he it Resolved, that we petition national congress,through our congressman and United States senators, for an appro priation from the river and harbor fund for the improvement of the SUB quehauua river by deepening the chan nel, which plau has boon doelared can be accomplished by eugiueers who have examined the river for that pur pose. Resolved, that WQ petition our State Legislature for an appropriation for tho same purpose and for the enact ment of laws preventing the Ailing iu along the river shore by any corpora tion, firm or person, aud for the plac iug of any more obstructions iu the river, aud be it further Resolved, that we ask the 00-opera tiou of all organizations, hoards of trade,manioipal governments and oitij zens for the ptouintiou and accomplish ment of this object. 1 PROSPEROUS YEAR_FOR FARMERS "All things oousidored this year promises to ho a favorable aud pros perous one to the farmer," said Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Mar tiu at Harrisburg on Friday. To Mr. Martiu is assigned the duty of look ing aftor crop matters throughout the Stat 1, keeping track of tho conditions, watching for changes, noting the weather effect on the crops, aud other importaut matters that have come to such high conditions under Secretary Oritohfiold. "Owing to unfavorable conditions for seeding wheat last fall," continu ed Secretary Martin,"and the extreme severe winter which followed, the wheat crop will possibly not average more than 50 per cent, of a full crop. Harvestiug has begua in the Southeru counties, bat iu Central aud Western Pennsylvania the fields are quite green. Complaiut has reached tho de partment of much injury being done by the Hessian fly in Fayette aud ad joiuiug counties. "Oats are iu fine condition, and with favorable weather the oats crop will bo very promising, and I predict the yield will bo above the average. Grass and pasture is everywhere abundant and the hay crop is, in my jndgmout, the largest ever growu iu the State. "(Joru ia not as good as it might bo. Owiug to the extreme cold weathor iu April ami May ooru planting was de layed more thin three weeks. Then the hard freezing of last winter de stroyed the vitality of much of the seed corn, which compelled replanting of possibly fifty per oeut. of the acre age. This condition,coupled with the almost oontiuuons rains for the past two months, have prevented the farm ers from cultivating the corn crop, which is ir. moat localities backwards aud unpromising. " The acreage of potatoes la possibly leas than last year, bnt gives promise of good yield, the vines being almost free trom the ravages of potato beetle. Nearly all vegetables have made good growth aud promise foil crops. "Considering the storm conditions the apple crop promises great abund ance iu almost every section of the State, but in most sections the peach crop will be light,which is iu part {tt tributable to the Sau Jose acalo. Pears, plums aud cherries iu moat sections are abuudaut, and the prices are very reasonable. The berry cropa are re ported up to the average. "The department has been notified that in Allegheny and part of West moreland coauties heavy storms aud cloud bursts have destroyed the erop« on numerous farms, and that certaiu blight has seriously affected the wheat orop in portions of York, Adams, and other adjoining counties, but this blight was only sectional in its rav ages. "Yes, 1 think,all things considered, this year promise* to be a favorable and prosperous oue to the farmer." The department ia informed that cat tle breeders throughout the State have had a prosperous year,and that almost all of their stock has been disposed of at favorable prices.
