Down on a Scheme.

BASE BALL IS WANTED !
Bunco Games Must be Left to the
Fakirs and Not Dragged Into the
League Series.
The Pottsville base ball management
received a set-back last night which must
have unstrung its nerves. The directors
of tho State baseball league met ut Ilntle-
ton and decided that the vacancy created
by the dlsbnndment of the Easton club
Bhall be filled by the admlstlon of the
iVshland club.
This action of the directors will be en
dorsed by every admirer of honest and
legitimate sport, although It may be ex
Dected that the howls of the Pottsville
management win rise to tne neaveus over
tne uecision.
There has been bitter rivalry between
the Pottsville and Heading clubs for first
place in the second series of the State
eagne cames and Manager Zerr. of the
Headings, hos been charged with havlnc
re-organized and kept the Enston chit
lone enough in tne race to trivet Uc Head
ings an advantage over the Pottsville
club. The scheme never dawned upon
tne inner until .err uau gained tne au
vantage and thrown his tools awav.
When it did appreciate the situation
the 1'ottsvllle management. nntwlth.
standing it denounced Zerr's tactics as
"scurvy," stepped into tne tracK tne
Reading man abandoned and proceeded
to do a "scurvy" business by attempting
to get the Mahanoy City club into the
league as tne successor 01 tne fusion
club.
Tho obiect was nlalu enough to any ob-
server and the Pottsville management did
nnt hesitate to declare that the Alahanov
City club would be managed by a" player
of the Pottsville club and the games
would be so manipulated that the latter
club should gain an advantage to counter
act that secured by Zerr's trick.
All this was cut and dried without con
sulting the welfare of the league, or any
of the clubs other than Pottsville.
It seemed smooth sailing until some of
the other managers, among them Mr,
Brennan, of the sahenandooh club, got to
the meeting at Hazleton last night and
read the riot act to Secretary Diddlebock.
These managers argued that to allow
the Pottsville scheme to go through
would destroy the confidence of the
nubile In the State league came and If it
was desirous that the Mahanoy Valley
should have another representative in the
league some disinterested club should bo
selected. The argument prevailed and it
was decided that Mahanoy City be barred
out ami tne Asmnnu cmo become tne
successor of the Easton club.
The Ashlands take the Easton franchise
at once and If it can get a club ready in
time win piay tne iirst game at uarris
burg to-morrow. It will have no league
names at home: as they are all scheduled
for Harrisburg, Lancaster, Pottsville and
Iteading. and the last game of the second
series is scheduled for the 13th inst. The
championship season ends on the 20th Inst,
DOWN AGAIN.
The Shenandoah Club Falls an Easy
Victim at Lancaster.
In spite of the easy manner In which
defeated the Lancasters here on Sunday
last the Shenandoah club fell easy vic
tims before the same club at Lancaster
yesterday, although the defeated team
distinguished Itself by two doubles and
a triple play on record, Stewart, well
and Mvers figuring in the latter plav.
Atherton essayed the role of pitcher.
but soon succumbed to the heavy batting
of the farmers and was relieved by
Yerkes. The new man was very wild.

any harm to experiment on the entrees

distrusted with exneriments. Somebody
suggested a few weeks ago that by making
attractions at Columbia Park tho receipts
or tne road could bo considerably in
creased. Tho comDany secured a minstrel
troupe and spent considerable money in

the people walked out to the nark, en

followed, and then walked hjine. Even
the cost of the dancing music did not Beem

Some discussion has been revived
town over the propriety of having public
funerals in cases whero people have died
ot typhoid fever. The local 'Joard of Health
has assumed the stand taken by the Boards
of Philadelphia and other olties; that ty
phoid fever is distinct from tvohus. 01
ship fever and is not contagious, although
infectious. Being of the latter type It is
necessary that placards shall be displayed
on houses where the disease exists to pre

DIVIDE THE
TOWN WARDS
An Old Proposition Revived
Again
With Suggestions.
OBJECT OF A DIVISION !
Can be Accomplished by Committees
of Bolh Parties Gettlnp Together.
Lines Suggested.
Tho subject of dividing the wards of
this borough is again lloatiug to tho sur
face, but whllo many exhibit a will to
take hold of the proposition none seem
able to find a way by which to put It into
operation. It Is impossible, it appears,
for either party to divide the borough
into more wards on a partisan basis, so
tho next best thing for those in favor of a
division Is to try and devise some plan for
division on a mutual oasis.
It has been suggested that five Demo
crats and five Republicans, one of each
party from each of the five wards, be
selected as a committee to discuss the
project and como to soma amicable un
derstanding. tiio ouject oi tne division la to so divido
the wards as to make the work of tho
election ofllcers lighter and do away with
the tedious labors which fall upon the
shoulders of all concerned at election
time. The population in some of the
wards has increased so much of late that
it Is hard to find men qualified for the
position of election officer who will serve.
They are opposed to sitting at a poll from
soveu o'clock ou the morning of election
day until two and three o'clock in the
morning oi tne loiiowlng day lor tne
nlltnnp. .cMM, .1... In.- nlUm. r,.1 ....
ono with a knowledge of the labors can
uiame tnem.
It Is proposed to divido tho First ward.
making Centre street the dividing line :
nnd the Second and Third wards with the
same Btreet as the dividing line: the
Fourth ward divided by Poplorstroot and
the Fifth ward bv Llovd.
j gentleman who nas neen uguring on
this basis says it would make tho First.
Second, Seventh, Ninth and Tenth wards
democratic; tuo i'ourtn, ntn and bixtu
Republican, and tho Third and Eighth
doubtful, although tho Eighth ward
would probably prove Republican.
Something must be done very soon as
the number of voters Is steadily and
greatly increasing. On the basis above
suggested very little difficulty should be
experienced in arriving ot a conclusion.
If a committee could reach this stage it
could then agree upon a plon to submit
to tne court and tne whole matter could
be odlnsted within a very short time.
The gentleman who urges the nnnoint-
ment of the committee has also suggested
that the following gentlemen serve hs the
Republican representatives: Frank Reese,
first wnru; x. J. navies, r-econd ward
A. U. Lamb. Third ward : George Lorah
Fourth ward; and J. L. Hassler, Fifth
ward.

The scarcity of water continues and
there seems to be no hone for an earlv im

essential that tho people shall be as eco

during the few hours it Is turned on. The
water company has placed another stop
in tuo west centre street main, so that
the supply may bo better restricted. No de
pendence can be placed upon tho public

tion is progressing favorably a supply from
that source cannot be oxnected for at least
several months. Some of the steel pipe
