In the afternoon the visitors were photo

of the Girard Water Company. At 5 p. tn.
they returned to Girarclvllle and after
snendlnir three hours there took snecliil

The visitors were cordially received bv

Most of the cuests nnneared in full dress.
They were served by six colored waiters,
who were kept busy attending to the de
tails of one of tho most elaborate spreads
ever seen in mis part oi tue coal region.
Mr. Lewis' mansion was brilliantly deco
rated for the occasion and the scene of fes
tivity was In great contrast with the
stolid coal breakers scattered here and
there over the vallev. There were nntnAntn
or other addresses, everything other than
the dinner itself being informal and the
gnests contenting themselves with chats
on topics of the times and occasionally
turning an attentive ear to the remarks
of some good story teller. At 10:80 the
guests took their departure, the Directors
returning 10 mraruviiio.
At naif past eight this morning the
PhtladelDhians resumed their tnur liv
leaving Girardvllle on their, snecial Pull
man parlor car "Undine," via the Lehigh
Valley railroad, nud visited the Packer
collieries Nos. 5, 3, 3 and 4.
At ten o'clock the visitors arrived in
town, alighting from their car at Emerlck
street and proceeding to the Kehley Run
colliery. The stav here was brief nnil
most of It was devoted to an Inspection of
the houses on West Line street, which,
it is said, are in danger of being drawn
down Into the workings of the colliery.
This trip was made In carriages. The
special train with engine 014 and the crew
were photographed at the Emerlck street
crossing after the directors returned.
Shortly berore eleven o'clock the
Directors re-entered their car and went
to Wm. Penn. They inspected the under
ground workings and the new breaker
and were again photographed with the
breaker and Its surroundings In the buck
ground.
From Wm. Penn the directors went to
the Miners' Hospital at Fountain Springs,
the journey from Ashland being made in
carriages. Lunch was served at the in
stitution, after which the tour was con.
tinued bv carriages tn thn Cnntlnnntnl.

NEARING COMPLETION.
Yhe Lakeside Railway Trestle Branch to
be opened on Tuesday.
Hon. D. D. Phillips, the treasurer and
manager of tho Lakeside Railway, spent
to-day In town viewing tho electric rail
way work on Bowers and Oak streets, He
stated that It would be Impossible to have
the trestle branch In operation by Sun
day, nut it win positively ue openeu on
Tuesuay next.
The curve at the corner of Centre and
Bowers streets has been completed and It
will be connected with the trestle track
to-morrow.
Thero has been considerable speculation
as to how the crowing where the curve
swings on to Bowers ftreet would be
arranged, mit the railway people nave
given assurance that everything In that
uirection win oe mane "ausincwiry to tue
Borounh Council and the people. A 12-
IncU iron pipe has been laid to drain the
south sUle of Centre street over Bowers
street anu tno crossing lor pedestrians is
being raied. The, rest of the Intersection
of the two streets will then be filled up
and graded so that It will make an ensy
roautotne trestle and at the same time
leave the streets for vehicles unimpeded.
The bridge builders have done nil the
work necessary on the steel work of the
trestle nnu are now engaged solely in
lavlntr the rntls and sills.
The line men have put np all the poles
required for the electrical power and will
be ready to put up the trolley wires to-
Foot Ball.
The Shenandoah foot ball team will
tackle the Mahanov Citv eleven on the
lattcr's grounds to-morrow nfternoon. It
will be the second meeting of the teams
this season and it is expected the Maha
nov's will make a desperate effort to off
set the defeat they suffered in the previous
game. The Sheuandoahs will line up as
follows: bhortall, leltend; A. nose, icit
tackle; MallcK, left guard ; Trezise, cen
ter; McIIale, right guard; 15. Rose, right
tackle; Hesse, right end ; Cake, quarter
back; Jones, right halfback; Frost,
left halfback: Burkhart. fullback.
The Shenandoah team is composed of
such promising young men and is show
ing up so well in practice that there is
talK among townsmen ot preparing a
valuable prize for the team to defend
against all comers in the region.
Postmaster Puzzled.
Postmaster Mellet was sorely puzzled
this morning to find that although he
had the combination ot the safe in the
post office and the mechanism responded
to every turn of the knob It was Impossi
ble to open the uoor. Air. .ueiiet and nis
clerks worked several hours at the safe
and finally discovered that a piece of the
mechanism had become dislodged.
In consequence pf the Inability to get the
safe open no money order business could
be done at tne postoiuce to-uay. .Mr.
Mellet has telecrnnhed to the safe manu
facturers at Philadelphia and expects to
get tne door or tne sale open by to-morrow
morning.

good. Tho serpentine nnd Spanish dances
introduced incidental to the play by Miss
Grncje Hunter were very clever, the former
being particularly fine. The living pic

STOPPED
BY SMITH.
Unsatisfactory Results of Yester
day's Ball Game at Pottsville.
ATTACHMENT THE CAUSE !
The Shenandoah Management Nailed Hie
Gate Receipts, Huston Balked and
a Riot Almost followed.
The seventh game between the Harris-
burg and tho Pottsvllle clubs for the
chnmptonshipof the State lcague.at PottH-
vlllo yesterday, ended very nbruptly. Tho
game was given to Pottsvllle by the um
pire on the ground that Harrlsburg for
feited It by refusing to continue plnylug,
but It Is claimed that an award could not
be made because Ave Innings were not
played.
When the game ended the score was n
tie on tho fourth inning. Harrlsburg
scored three runs In the llrst nnd i'otts
vllle scored one in tho third and two in
the fourth.
The championship Is becoming badly
twisted and many followers of tho sport
express the belief that it will never be
settled.
The Harrlshurgs have returned to their
own grounds. Before leaving Pottsvllle
Manager Huston said he would be pre
pared to play nt Hnrrisburg to-day and if
the Pottsvilles carried out their threats
not to appear the game would bo claimed.
In such un event each club will have an
enual number of irnmes won and lost.
The Pottsvilles said they could not go
to Harrlsburg because they had arranged
to play tho Wllkes-Barresat home to-day.
The cause of the abrupt ending of the
game was an attachment or tue gate re
ceipts made by James Smith, of tho
Shenandoah base ball club. Mr. Smith
wished to recover $23, which he clnlms is
due from the Hnrrisburg club as a part of
a guarantee.
When Manager Huston learned thnt
the receipts had been attached he took
the Senators off the diamond nud the
umpire gave the game to Pottsvllle by n
score of U to 0.
Public opinion was against Huston for
the action he took and the ticket agent
nt the gate came near being made a
victim of violence because he refused to
give the people their money back. They
claimed that as five Innings had not been
played thero was no game. Only the in
tervention of cool headed citizens pre
vented a riot, but the ticket agent did
not disgorge.
Mr. Smith, of the Shennndonh club,
tells n spicy story about tho balance of
the guarantee for which the attachment
was Issued. Ho says his club was entitled
to ?50, but Huston only paid $23 and
promised to give the balance in the even
ing. When the time nrrlved Huston
Invited Smith to his hoarding house to
get the money. Whllo Smith was waiting,
for the cash Huston slipped out the bnck
doorot the house and he "never came,
bncK."
Huston, on the other hand, claims an
offset. He says the Shenandoah manage
ment indemnified him against loss for
piaying ounuay base nnu nt Shenandoah;
that the Ilarrisburg clnb was prosecuted
at Pottsville nnd compelled to pny about
cuo ua iiues anu costs lor playing a sun
day gnmo in Shenandoah nnd Smith's
club should stnnd the loss.
Mr. Smith denies Huston's stntemont
on tins scoro.
The money attached by Smith is still
in the hands of tho Pottsvllle mnnaeo-
ment and will be held until the matter
can be decided by legal process. It Is
qulto likely that thn Pottsvilles will come
in and claim all the cate receipts on the
gruuuu mat tue iinrrisuurgs nnu not
earned a share of the receipts and there
fore there was nothing which Smith
could attach.

STREET WHISPERINGS.
Odds and Ends Gleaned By Reporters on

A number of our people have taken A
notion of Sunday evening open air sacred
concerts and are urging Prof. Zelti to in
duce one of the bands with which he Is
connected to respond. The Profeesor hesi
tates, because he has nenru some oi tno
muilcinn who have responded heretofore
say that the concerts are not appreciated.
This Is no doubt a nili-tikeu impression.
Open air concerts have always been vevy
popular here and there is no better way in
wuicu tue nanus can mime tuem-eivei
popular with the people than by giving
them. The Benson Is rather Inte for the
concerts, but judging from the demand

contributions are very acceptable to new,
paper men, especially when they treat on
such live tonics ns Improvements to the
town, but it is a pretty slick businessman
who, even when times are dull, can get
the news man to take hold of the tarred
end of a stick. The business man referred
to Is shrewd and calculating, but he can
still learn something from othtr
business men In town, nnd one of tie
lessons is that it pays to Advertise leglti
mately. It may bo of great IntirMit tn
to the credit of the town" by bringing

for giving such Information to the peoplo
nnd not piny false with the poor printer.
If the nforesnid merchant can buy a ham,
a pound of ten, or a box of soap for a

to do so, and nt that rate will soon be able
to build mnny more "beautiful store

he can only get It by walking up to onr
cashier ; nnd should he be in ignorance of
that gentiemnn's whereabouts we will
most cheerfully direct him at any tiiuo.
Every man should know how to run his

to being bought with a one-cent postal
