The state league club of this place plays its last game in the league at Heading to-day and the vacancy will be filled by the Shenandoah club, which will till Scranton's dates at Pottsville to-morrow and Saturday. The Scrantons will disband nt Heading to-night and then re-sign its players and proceed to Springfield, Mass., to-morrow to join the Eastern league. James Smith, the manager of the Shenandoah club, returned here from Scranton this morning. When shown the above dispatch he said It was correct. It was agreed at Scranton yesterday that Shenandoah should fill the first vacancy and it was well understood the Scrantons would be the first to drop out, but the latter fact was kept in reserve as much as possible as Scranton wanted to sell Hud son and Hogan. The former has since been sold to Boston and Scranton has determined to pull out of the state league to-night. The Shenandoahs will play at Pottsville to-morrow and Saturday, at Harrisburg on Monday and Tuesday, and at L,an caster on Wednesday and Thursdav. The first game in Shenandoah will be played with the Hazletous, on Saturday, Ancust 11 h. Tlie usual tsunday games win ue Kept up here. Klther Allentown or Heading will be the club for next Sunday. Manncer Smith says the home club will be entirely re-uulformed. The manage ment ought to receive some encourage ment in this connection from the citizens. This will be the first season Shenandonh has ever had a professional club. Speaking of the strength of the home team .Manager Smith said he believed Shenandoah had material with which to make a start, but it will be increased and strengthened by an additional pitcher. catcuer anu right iieider. xne ciuu win carry twelve men.

The result is that Shell andoah will start out to-tnoirowas leader of the state league club with 17 games won and 4 lost and a percentage ot siu, Allentown is second in the race and Potts- vllle third.

Tho School Board held n regular monthly meeting last night nnd con sidered n number of Important measures looking to tlie preparations for tho next school term, which will begin on the 88rd lust., but owing to some of tho committees being unable to make definite reports considerable business was lKistponed. Including the election of teachers to fill the vacancies. The directors present were Messrs. Conry, Hanna, liaugh, Ogden, Hooks, .Morgan, Davenport, Hurke, Uevltt, Lee, Muldoon, Lynch, Mo,nley, Stanton. Secretary Hanna rend n letter from School Director Trezlso stating that he xnected to arrive home in Shenandoah from his western trip In about two weeks. The resignation of M iss Carrie E. Smith, as a teacher, was read and accepted. It is understood that Miss Smith contemplates matrimony. Tho teachers and salaries committee asked that the election of teachers to fill vacancies be postponed and tho board de cided to wait until tho committee is ready to mako a report. Mr. Ogden, of the finance committee, made a report showing that tlie treasury of the school district is in n healthy con- uirion ior me opening oi tue new nscal year, there being J10.012.S2 on hand. There Is a large quantity of old desks on hand and as they take up considerable space for storage in several basements of school buildings the board instructed the committee on building nnd repairs to dis pose of them for tho best prico obtainable. As the Indications are that the schools will be very much crowded next term pending the erection of an additional school building, the board has decided to again rent the two basement roomB in the P. M. church nt the corner of .Tnnltn and Oak streets. Additional furniture will be required for these rooms. The proposition of nn acent to sunnlv all tho school buildings with llchtnlnir rods was taken up, but ns a majority of the directors expressed a lack oi belief In the efficacy of lliihtnintr rods' to arrest lightning, ornnything else other than the people's money, the proposition went into tne waste onsKet. The contract and bond of Jesse 11 Davis for erecting nn addition to the Union street school buildlntr havo been signed and approved. The contractor Is to finish the work in twenty-five days nnd forfeit live dollars for each day ho may bo in ueinuu.

The question of nurcliaslnir the Lnntr field property nt the northwest corner of merry and .Inrd In streets ns n site for scnooi nuuuing was dlscutsed. it was stated that as Mr. Langileld refused to sell it would bo necessary to take pro ceedings to condemn the property, but n majority of the members expressed tho belief that Mr. Langlleld's reluctnncy was more in the nature of a plan to get a high price out of tho board and suggested that efforts be made to secure n site else where. A vacant Dlcce of around at the southeast corner of Oak and Gilbert streets was suggested. It was decided that tho board meet at 0:30 Friday even ing nnd proceed in a body through the Third nnd Fourth wards to look for site. Facts of Interest Grouped So That They May be Quickly Read. A gentleman who seems pretty well posted Intimated yesterday that threo days a week will remain the working schedule nt the P. & H. collieries for some time. Ho snid nearly all the coal tho company has mined recently went to tho dumps In the stock yards, because thero Is no demand for conl. He said there nre so many manufacturing establishments idle the coal trade is almost paralyzed. "Speaking of hot weather," said amino boss the other night, "guess whnt I found one of our boys on tho bank doing tho other day. The boy had his coat oil and I saw him writing away at something. When I walked over that way I saw ho was chalking the sldo of his car with words like these : 'Ice cream, Ice bergs. Ice cold soda, North Pole, Greenland and soon.' I didn't say anything, but thought If lie could keep cool that way lie was welcome to it." One of the most remarkable escapes from Injury seen on our streets for some time was that of a small boy who fell from n delivery wagon. As he fell one of his legs got between tho spokes of n wheel nnd In making Its turus the wheel whirled the boy around twice. The driver reined in his horse, but instead of stopping the nnimal backed nud the boy was wheeled once In the opposite direc tion. Everybody who witnessed tlie affair felt confident that the youngster's leg as broken, if he did not sustain other Injuries, but when released the boy's body did not show even n bruise. Seventeen years ago last Sunday Phen- ndoah's crack mllltnry company left for Harrisburg to obey the call of Governor Hnrtranft to put down the riots.

The company marched to the arsenal and, nfter several days duty there, went on to Pittsburg, enmping near Shady Side, In Haup's grove, n beautiful camping place. Shenandoah people looked with pride upon her military company, for it had the reputation of being one of tlie bet drilled nnd strongest in member ship in the service. None hnd n better re cord. Through spite and jealousy the gallant Seventh was broken up and nearly all tho companies mustered out, nmongthem Shenandoah's pride. Another piece of injustice upon the company was tho withholding of one year's appro priation, which somebody pocketed. binco then the largest town in tbo county uas neen wirnout representation in tiio National Guard, but under General Hast ings administration as Governor a Btrong effort will be made to have the representa tions revived. Cant. George w. John son, who was cap! nin of Company If, is again a resident of this town and it has been suggested that he issue a call and organize a new company with members of tho old company still residing in tho town nsn nucleus, so that nt the proper timo they will be ready to tnko their place in the National Guard.
