MULDER1K NO MULBERRY After the Knemy Was In Full Possession of Ilia Camp he Itouted Tliem The llnrrlalmrgs llnd to Hustle Toman Aim Did Excellent Wink. The largest crowd of the season wi t nessed the game between the Harrisburgs and the home team nt tho Trotting park and were treated to a series of surprises, it is safe to say that not a dozen ot the people who journeyed to the park enter tained the slightest hope thAt the home team would beat the champions ot the state league and a large majority of them scouted the idea that the home players would bo able to make the contest n cloe one. but the Shenaudoahs not only mnde the score n close one, but made the game a ten-inning one and came within a narrow margin ot winning. Contrary to expectations the manage ment failed to have the construction of the new itrnud stand completed on Satur day, but succeeded In getting up a suffi cient uunioer or rootless seats to accom modate a great number of people nnd umbrellas uiu me rest. The unme opened with the retirement of the home team in short order and the inning closed with n score of 1 to 0 In ravor ot tue visitor?. In the second inning the home team surprised its most enthusiastic admirers Uy milking two singles, a two Dagger ami n home run and rollinc un a score of six runs, but the enthusiasm this created by tue llarrlstmrgs louowing it witn an annihilation of Setley's delivery. They nounded the Richmond fugitive for live singles, a two bagger nnd two home runs twelve runs being made in this inning. Una would suppose una tms snouiu have been sufficient to completely dis courage the home team and drive most of tue spectators away in disgust, out only a few of the latter went away and tlie players nastily proceeded to re organize nnd evidently placed great faith in their showing iu the first part of (he innine. Setley was sent to riaht field and Mulderig succeeded him In the box in il. .r.i i t r..i.i i ... bun buiru lulling. AUUiuenj;; uituiu a splendid showing and held the visitors down to eight hits in the last eight innings. The Harrisburgs did not score again until the sixth inning, when they made one more run nnd increased their score to 14. Meanwhile the Shenaudoahs had scored eight runs and held the lead by one in the first half of the sixth. After that it was nip and tuck. In the seventh tho Harrisburgs secured a lend of three runs hy making the score 1" to 14 in their favor. In tho eighth inning the home team reduced the lead to two nnd iu the first halt of tho ninth made three runs and secured a lead of one. The Harrisburgs followed this up with three runs and tied the score, making 20 to 20. They had an excellent opportunity here to end the game, two of the men being hit by a pitched ball, one getting his base on uaus ami n passeu nan unit a two nagger I) el Hint: the advantnge. but the prompt stops and ncurate throws to first base of Reilly, Toman and Ryan cut the scoring off nt three runs. In the tenth inning the spectators be trayed breathless expectation, but the home team did not remain long nt the plate. Henry started out with a hit, but was caught at second, Smith went out on a liy to centre field nnd the short stop threw Brown out nt first. An error hy Ryan, and a wild pitch made the winning run nnd the spectators left the ground, satisfied that they had received their money's wortli because the home team made one of the best up-hill fights ever seen upon tlie grounds, bcore : , H1II-NAN110AII. 11.

As was predicted, "Bucknell" Harris has become a favorite. Henry was taken with n violent vomit ing spell during practice, but the affects wjre not apparent during the game. The rise nnd fall of it base ball player's succaM and popularity Is graphically ex emplified tu Setley's career. The Lithuanian base ball olub, of town, which defeated the I'olish olub, of Mt.

Loach, Hie Prosecutor, Must Pay the Other One-ThlrtI The Jury Finds a Verdict After Consulting To gether Tor Twenty Hours, Special to the Hiralp. Pottsvillk, June 25. The jury in tba enseof County Commissioner Charles F. Allen, charged with violation of tho elec tion laws, yesterday afternoon rendered a verdict of not guilty, but pay two-thirds of the costs aud the prosecutor.one-thlrd. The jury deliberated for twenty hours before nil differences could bo settled. They retired Saturday afternoon nnd nt one o'clock yesterday afternoon were ready to report. Messengers were dls- trlct Attorney A. J. Rvan and Clerk of the Courts Shortall nnd Hon. John . Rvon. counsel for the defense. Upon tho arrival of Jutlcr" Weldmnn. nt 2:30 o'clock, and after tie preliminaries Had been disposed of, the jury rendered the above verdict, finding the nccused not guilty, and placing two-thirds of the costs upon tue tieienunut and one-tlilrd upon the prosecutor. Hon. S. A. Losch. The Jury was then discharged liv the Judire. Outside of a few court olllcials no one was present when the verdict was given, but it did not take lona before tho news spreau over tins town. The verdict wns nut a surprise to the great majority of the people, as almost every one who has read the evidence aud given the trial any thought confidently expected a verdict of acquittal. Theonly surprise occasioned was the manner iu which the costs were placed. Why the jury should place tho costs upon a man whom they declare is not guilty of the crime charged, and who in no manner torceu tne case upon tue county, Is one ot those Questions not so easily answered and which the jury themselves can hardlv justify. ibis seems to be the view taken by a great majority of the people of the county sent, while the friends of those who have been instrumental in the pmsecutton claim that the jury simply made a com promise in dividing the costs. After the legal points of the case had been argued by Mr. Schalk aud Mr. Wll helm, the counsel addressed the jury. Hon. John AV. Ryon spoke for the defense. His remarks were listened to with marked attention, and was especially severe upon the two principle witnesses for the commonwealth, Charles Hause and George HelTner. Tho great pleader and criminal lawyeruiiiuercifully scored the prosecutor, nnd very forcibly and convincingly showed the reasons that brought about this suit; that the men who nre behind the scenes are disap pointed office-seekers men who are ever ready to sacrifice their manhood for n mess of pottage. Mr. Ryon made an eloquent plea for his client "d presented the good points of the ise nnd tho weak ones of the commonwealth to the jury to the best advantage. William A. Marr, Kq., addressed the jury on behalf of the ommonwe.ilthnnd mnde an able aud forcible plea. He made every advnntage possible for his side, and during the time that he wns before the jury held the latter's close attention. The charge to the jury hy Judge Weld mnu was nn impartial deliverance, and was very lavoralily received by tue coun--el on both sides. It was 5:20 o'clock when the jury retired. After a short discussion of the evidence the jury took a ballot, which resulted in three forconviction nnd nine for acquittal. The three jurors who favored couviction held out for a number of ballots,, when the question resolved itself Into n qnes tlon as to how the costs should he placed. An agreement was finally reached in accordance with the verdict as ubove stated. The costs In the case nre quite large, but this will probably be greatly reduced by the parties charged with them securing relenses from a number of the witnesses Thus ends a trial that has been the sub ject ot much discussion from one end of the county to the other, nnd no where more than here, whero the battle has been fouuht. The verdict Is just as has been predicted In theso dispatches that the prosecution was instituted by disap pointed olllceseekers, and not for the purification of Schuylkill polltios, hence Mr. Allen would be ncqultted and vindi cated. Children's Hay Services. Children's Day services were held In the Primitive Methodist church, corner Oak and Jardln streets, yesterday, and proved a success in every particular. The recita tions nnd singing by the children was very creditable, while the decorations, which consisted of representations of Gethsemene and Cnlvery, were superb, and rellected much credit upon those hav ing the observance -f tho day in charge. The attendance at both tho morning nnd evening services were very large. Children's Day services were conducted at the Yatesville Sunday school yester day with quite a lengthy program. The room was beautifully decorated with llowers and plants. The singing of the scholars deserves special mention, while the declamations were delivered In ex cellent style. Mr. Harry Preston, of town, is the efficient superintendent of the school, and much credit Is due him for the success of the services.

Tho following report wns submitted to court on Saturday by tho grand juryi 5Tb the Honorable, the Juiliiea of $ahl Court Tho Grand Inquest of the Common wealth of Pennsylvania, inquiring for the County of Schuylkill, for June sessions, 104, would respectfully report as follows: e have ncted upon niucty-three bills of indictment presented to us, of which number we have returned sixty as true hills, nnd thirty-three as not true bills. Of the ignored bills, six charged feloules, over which we had no dlspositlou of tho cots. Of the twenty-six cases charging misdemeanors ignored, we hnve placed the costs of twenty four enses on the pro secutor or prosecutrix, nnd In three enses on the county. We hnvo visited tho connty prison nrd found that institution, under the manage ment of Warden W. C. Dunkelberger, iu excellent condition. We would recom mend the repairing of the stone llnguing in front of the main door of the prison, as the same is somewhat delapldated, and should be nttended to nt once. We would nlso recommend that the stone coping bo placed on the wnll of tho prison yard fronting on Sanderson street, nnd nn Iron fence erected. The present condition nnd nppenrnnco of tho same is not creditable to Schuylkill county. The water closet iu tho women's room, adjoining the uintn court room, for some purpose Is closed. This should not he, as there Is absolute necessity for the same to bo kept open nnd In good order for the accommodation of people attending court. A very dangerous crossing In the bor ough of Glrardville where Richard street, Lehigh Valley Railway and the Klectrio Railway cross each other, and one at the borough of Tamnqtin where Spruce street crosses the tracks of the Reading and Jer sey Cunt ml Railroads, should he provided with watchmen or safety gates as the safety of the public is not ensured with out one or the other. We have approved the report of viewers recommending a new county bridge in Harry township. We very much reuret our inability to reach several Justices of the Peace for the return to court of thp most trilling cases. There was not sufllclent in some of them to warrant the justice iu return lnc to court. We return our thanks to the Honornblo Court and all others who hsve assisted and aided us in our deliberations. All of which is respectfully submitted. William H. Caiikt, Foremnn. CoiiNELU's A Mormt. Secretnry. Won tho Muney. A story has just leaked out concerning the manner In which one of the men em ployed nt Kehley Run colliery took ad vantage of an offer hy Superintendent llaird. During the recent Hoods two pumps In the lower part of the mine were covered with water and a third and larger pump got out of order. The super intendent was in a quandary. The water was rapidly increasing in tho slope and not a drop was being pumped out. Sud denly he exclaimed to n number of nun who were standing nbout him, "I'll give ten dollars to tho man who will dive down and start one of those pumps." So one seemed to have the hardihood to accept the olfer just at the time, hut nfter a few seconds of rellectlon one of tho men, David Howard, was heard to say, "Well, there is a shawl for 'Mag' in ten dollnrs and I'll take you." Howard soon stripped nnd mnde a dive. He repeated thoplungo eight times nnd with each dive succeeded in givinu the valve of one of the pumps a turn. After the ninth dive the mnn donned his clothing and when steam was turned on the pump commenced work nt the rate of seventy strokes n minute. The monoy was promptly paid over and 'Mag' not only got her shnwl. but Dave subsequently enjoyed one of the best day's fishing ol tho season.
