WE HAD A
SOFT THING.
The Shenandoahs Toyed With Their
Ashland Opponents.
THE VISITORS WERE WEAK.
A Very Small Audience Witnessed the
Game on Account of Harrtsburtr
Falling to Appear.
The receipts from the attendance at the
Shenandoah-Ashland base ball game In
the Trotting park yesterday was little
more than sufficient to pay for tho cervices
of the umpire. The attendance was
wretched and tho grounds presented an
nppearance borderlug on desertion until
the wind blew tho llock of "crows" oft the
fence and they gathered about the dia
mond. Had tho program announced by the
management been carried out there would
have been a good attendance. When it
was learned that the Ashlands would
play the game advertised a general freeze
seized tho patrons, and very few outside of
those interested in the game for other
than pastime reasons went to the nnrk.
Many supposed thnt the advertising of
the llarrisburg team was a fake, but
such was not the case. At a late hour
Saturday afternoon the Harrlsburgs de
cided not to come here, but to go to llar
risburg to spend Sunday and that left ilio
home management in a tl ileum. At ten
o'clock Saturday night arrangements
were maue tor tne Asniana emu to mi
the ante.
As the score ot the same shows, the
Shenandoahs had a plumber's ciuch on the
game, is was a nop-8Klp-aml-uinp nlwlr.
and nt no time were the visitors "in It."
It was plain in the first inning that their
cause was lost and had the home team put
tbe least bit of ginger into its playing the
score would hiiTe been at least doubled.
It mar be truthfully said that the team
hardly had an opportunity ti get nny
practice oat of the game. Tbe visitors
were miserably wen& ud to the sixth in
nlnir. when Griffith went into the box and
curtailed the batting of the visitors, vet
in the four innings he pitched he was lilt.
ior tnree singles, mree aouuies and a
three-bagger.
Two circus rings left by Main's clrciiB
occupied a part of the left and -centre
Uelds, bat thnt made no difference; it
rather added to the comfort ot the nlavs.
Gill nnd Dunkle used the border! of the
rings as seats while waltini: for flies,
During the last two or three innings Gill
helped Toman to play short stop and
Dunkle helped Weikertat second. Yerkes
was the only Helder on duty. Tho, latter
pitched for five innings nnd then Ashen-
bach essayed the pitcher's role. It was
looked upon as a good Joke, but "Ashev'
did very well. Only two hits were made

A DARING THIEF.
When Pursued and Captured the Thief

At about three o'clock yesterday after
noon Mrs, Koslosky, a Polish widow,
who keeps a small store near Bridge
street, left tho place for n few moments
nnd upon her return met a young mnn
coming out ot tho store. Tho stranger
held out five cents and asked for clrnnr-
ettcs. The woman suspected there was

nau come irom a rear room, la wmcn
mere was a cupboard containing savings
amounting to about 10O.
Mrs. Koslosky grabbed tho intruder,
but he gave her a Kick which sent her to
the lloor and before assistance could ar
rive thestranger bounded along tho creek
to the southern nnrt of the town. Mrs.
Koslosky's son, Paul, gave chase and suc
ceeded in catching np with the fugitive

struuele ensued, durlne which Paul Kos-
KosKy was slashed lv the tniel three tunes

STORIES OF THE WITNESSES.
Dr. Spaldinc's Evidence Uron His In
vestigationThe Jury Decides
Upon the Cause of D:ath.
Deputy Coroner Manley nnd n Jury
comprising F. J. Brennnn, John Scnnlnn,
Philip II. Gble, John Stanton, Patrick
Flnherty and P. II. Manley nttempted
Saturday night to get some definite In
formation as to tho manner in which John
George Smith, tho aged' German, met his
death at his home lu Brownsville Satur
day morning, but they were unsuccessful.
The material facts elicited wero substan
tially as nrovlously reported, with the
exception thnt tho widow testified that
she did not hold tbe Italians with whom
tho decensed associated "n the previous
night responsible for the old man's death.
-Mrs. Liouisn smitn, tno widow, was tne
first witness. Her story ns to tho finding
of the body in tho bedroom wns the same
as she had previously told the Deputy
Coroner and tho reporters. Tho body foil
in through tho window nud the ten-year-old
son discovered the death while search-
inn the pockets of the deceased. Mrs.
Smith said she had no qunrrol with her
nuBOanu that nigiit. a nity-cent suver
piece, a watch nnd n bottle halt full of
whlskev were found in the pockets. A
bucket Imlt full of beer wns found on tbe
porch. Tho decensed said nothing after
he ten into tne room. At urst tne widow
and two bovs thouirht the man had fallen
into a deep slumber. It was five minutes
after the entrance that the widow re
spouded to tho call of the boy and found
that the mnn was dead.
The two sons nflirmed the story of the
widow. There was no evidence to show
thnt anybody accompanied the mnn to
his home on the fatal niuht. It wns shown
that he first went to the Italian shanty,
then to "Lord" McGulro's saloon nnd then
came tobheunudoab.
George W. Smith, a son of tbe decensed
by the first wife, testified that his father
caned at his House, In Lltzel's row on Coal
street, between 10 and U o'clock on Friday
night. Upon the father's invitation the
son went to a saloon nnd they each had
two glasses oi beer.' The father was pre
vlously under tho influence of drink. The
couple parted a few minutes Inter nt the
corner or .Main and Coal streets, each
starting for his respective home. Thnt
was tho last time the son saw his father
olive. At two o'clock In the morning tho
"ji iucr tvtuj uubnied oi tiie uentu.
Dr. S. C. Spalding testified that he ex
amined tho body upon request of the
icimij iuruntr. iie iounu contusions on
the right side of the face and blood was
iiowing iroin the ear. No postmortem
nuaiimue. xua injuiios were the result
oi violence, out the doctor wns not pro
pared to state the nature of tho violence.
Appearances indicated that the neck wns
broken, but the body was so stiff that
tnnt point could not lie definitely de
termined, uentu wax probably duo to
concussion oi tuouraui, which may have
resulted from the man falling head-long
to the floor when he entered through the
window. If the man fell through tho
n.uuuw huu to me aoor upon his nend
vuo siiucs wuuiu oo stuucient to Kin him,
iiier a snort uenueration the Jury
rendered the following vpnllit. "Timf
the said George Smith's death was duo to
concussion oi tho brain, caused by falling
from a window sill while attempting to

AMUSEMENTS.
"FABIO r.OMANI."
, Allien Benedict's play of -Fabio
Roinnnl," which opened nt the (irnhil
opera house last night, Is a play With a
strong nnd stirring Interest in it. Thosa
who have read the book entitled, "Tha
Vendetta," will easily remember the pre
text of the story; a deceived husband
pretends suicide and then comes back in
disguise to torture the unfaithful wife,
finally killing her nt the moment ho
mnkes himself known. Tho novel furn
ishes several Intense scenes. The princi
pals in the piece are Walter Lawrence
and Miss Kuitt-1 Sumner, and were both
excellent In their roles, nnd were well
supported. The scenic effects were very
fine. Tho living pictures over which tho

A DISPUTED QI ESTION-.
Scientists and electricians cannot agree
upon tho number of electric volts which
are necessary to cause a cessation of life
in the human body; some claim that an
excessive shock Is more likely to cause
incineration rather thnn instantaneous
death, but if they would turn their at
tentlon to prolonging nnd increasing tho
pleasure of life, the public would hull tho
result with more satisfaction. For
instnnce, tho tlectrlclty genernted in a
wave of laughter Is after all the most
Eleasant shock, nnd to see n large assem
lago moved by n current of uncontrolla
ble mirth while witnessing the play of
''fehe Couldn't Marry Three," places
beyond dispute tbe fnct that large volts
of laughter aro better than volts of elec
tricity any day.
