Result of the State League Meet
ing; Held In Town Yes
terday Afternoon.
THE SESSION WAS SHORT.
GUARANTEES PAID BY CLUBS TO
BE
DEPOSITED AT P0TTSVILLE IN
THE SECRETARY'S NAME.
All Clubs In the League Have Paid Up
Their Instalments and are Ready
for the Opening of the Season
Next Wnesday.
The meeting of the State Base Bali
League in town yesterday was of short
duration, but the proceedings were very
harmonious and all clubs of the league
are reported iu good shape. The mag
nates in attendance were President John
J. Hanlon, Allentown; John F. Smith,
Pottsvllle; It. J. Beamish, Carbondale;
William Sharsig, Philadelphia; It. T.
Bentley, Lancaster; Frank Seiss, Harris-'
burg. The session was a secret one:
After the meeting President Htnlon
stated that the main object of the meeting
was to discuss the means by which the
guarantees required from club? in play
out the season should be deposited. This
was settled without much argument. It
wad decided thit the deposits shall be
made with the Schuylkill Trust and Safe
Deposit Company in the name of the sec
retary of the league. President Hanlon
also stated that.all the clubs have their
installments on the guaranty paid up to
date and are in readiness for the opening
of the season on May 1st. Each club paid
in $250 and the balance of the $500 is to be
paid in monthly instalments of $125
Manager Brennan says his. team will
be ready to open the season next Wednes
day. The first two games for the team
are scheduled for this place and are to be
played with Pottsvllle, although then
may be a change. The Pottsvillei havine
won the pennant last season think they
ought to open the season at home, and
the-rrangements may be altered. Man
ager Brennan will want an Inducement,
however.
The announcement by the Miners'
Journal base ball editor that Shenan
doah will play a HeckschervIIIe team
tomorrow is not correct. The cjub will
play no game until it meets the Potts-
villes for the opening of the season next
Wednesday, when the county jailers may
And that there Is some winning quality
in our players. They practiced at the
trotting park this afternoon and showed
up well.
The home team will play its first games
at the old grounds. Hon. D D. Phillips,
who has become Interested In the club,
has Beleqted the old Jackson's ground
astt site for the new grounds and work
on them will be commenced at once.
Manager Brennan says the story about
Kennedy, the New York player, not re
turnlng.Is a hoax and that the player will
return, ere tpnignt.,
The. team will have .an entire new outfit
this season. The suits will be grey with
maroon trimmings. They are now beiug
made.
The club has three pitchers for the
opening of the season. They are Seveis,
Nevlns and Rafferty. The last two
named are, left-handers.
Shenandoah people who witnessed the
game at Pottsvllle yesterday Bay that
Tighe's conduct on the diamond
was disgraceful and that the blows
struck were brought on by his use of foul
language. He struck O Jackson, the firsc
base man for the Cuban Giants The
negro went into TIghe and would have
whipped him badly were it not for out
side interference. The catcher for the
Giants begged the people to let the two
men ".fight it put," feeling confident that
his first base man would laud on top. The
Pottsvllle management should reprimand
Tlghe and nip such conduct in the bud.

AMUSEMENTS.
"HOT TAMALES."
Conroy and Fox with their high olass
singing and dancing company of come
dians will present their highly successful
musical comedy "Hot Tamales." These
quaint comedians are as humorous as of
yore and their company fully sustain
their reputation as refined and talented
performers of personal charm and talent.
The Allen Sisters, a recent importation
from London, are wonderful wing and
buok dancers. Ren Shields, a policeman
is very funny. Thomas Watson, a danc
ing comedian, J ames O. Cherry and others
are in the cast. At Ferguson's theatre
this evening.
FANNY IUCE.
The following is the manner in which
the critics are describing Fanny Rice's
new play, "Nancy." One writer says it
is a simple pretty story, full of human
interest, a series of events that constantly
delights with unexpected yet natural
touches, yet so entirely different In con
structlon from any other play that it is a
refreshing and delitrhtful novelty. At
Ferguson's theatre on Thursday evening

The Borough Council and Water
Works Contractors Differ
In Views.
MORE SUITS MAY FOLLOW.
ANjHERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT
TflE PIPE TEST MAY BE
DELAYED.
Also Differ With Coun
ts?
Who Sfiill Pay For
thel&me.
It is quite apparent toot a war between
the borough and the contractors of the
public water works is drawing to hand'
and that It will be a sharplSne. Should
it be precipitated the testlngjjf the pipes
may be delayed. 10A
The request by Contractor Qainn that
Council give him assurance tha&lt will
pay the $0,000 reserved to R. D. Wood &
Company as soon as the pipes are Vested
1b significant. It is said that lrthis
assurance is withheld the contractor vfjll
not go ahead with the test and thltt
Wood & Company, who manufacture;
the pipes, may object to the test
proceeding until they are paid, or
receive assurance of payment im
mediately after the test. In this con
nection Council seems to feel quite safe,
as it holds the $0,000 and may proceed
with the test without the contractor and
charge the expense against the sum held.
But now another obstacle arises. One
of the contractors stated yesterday that
Council is mistaken if it considers that
the expense of the test is to be sustained
by the contractors. Ho claims that there
is no such provision in the con
tract and that any expense the Coun
cil Incurs in making a test mnst
be sustained by the borough. This con
tractor also claims that a hydraulic test,
which was decided upon by Council
weunesaay nignt, is not a proper one.
The nearer the time for the final work on
the plint approaches the. more tho com
plications between Council and the con
tractors seem to multiply, yet on the
question of testing the pipes the former
seems to have the best hold. Solicitor
Pomeroy spent today at Pottsvllle In con
sultation with A. W. Schalck, Esq., who
is special counsel for the borough, in re
gard to the $0,000 and it is quite likely,
that another meeting ot the water com
mittee will be held tonight and another
special meeting of Council may follow.
One of the questions raised in connection
witn tne reserve rund is whether it is
money belonging to Contractors Qulnn
& Kerns, or R. D. Wood & Company.
Council claims that it belongs to the
former and that the cost of repairing the
breastwork at Brandonvllle can be
charged against it. Mr. M. P. Qulnn. one
of the contractors, has offered to give
bond to Council for $10,000 as an indemnltv
that the pipes will be all right. He makes
mis ouer in order to novo the payment
made to Wood & Company, but Couu
ell thinks the $6,000 in hand of more
value than any bond that could be given.
Mr. Qulnn says no part of the $6,000 can
be held for the repairs to the reservoir.
Should his view be unheld the borouah
can only recover the money it has Bpent
in repairs after suit on the bond of Qulnn
& Ktrns. This will probably mean years
of litigation and possibly ultimate defeat
on fome technicality,
