D The Shenandoah Base Ball Club Continues Playing In Improved Form. an MADE CARBONDALE HUSTLE THE SHENANDOAHS HAD THE CONTEST WELL IN HAND UNTIL THE FIFTH INNING. Nevlns Weakened and the Carbondales Won the Victory by Good Stick Work Before Rain Stopped the Game. The Shenandoah base ball team played at Carbondale yesterday and continued the good work that It started at Hazle ton the day before, but again met defeat. The game only lasted five inning, on account of rain and the Shenandoahs had good lead in the first half of that in ning. When the Carbondales went to the plate they made a rally that gave them the lead by one run. Although the Shenandoahs have failed to win a game thus tar, the work they have done during the past two games has turned sentiment here more In their favor and if they continue showing a disposi tion to play ball they will undoubtedly receive support. They play here tomor row and Saturday with the Hazletons nd upon their work in those games will depend In a grent measure the patronilge for next week. The importance of earn estness on their part can readily be under stood. Manager Brennan has made two ad ditions to the team while on his trip. One of them is King, a catcher, who has thus far done very satisfactory work. The other player is Carey, who is known "The California Kid." He traveled from California to join the Hazletons this season and received $125 advance money, but was subsequently released, He is now playing left field with the Shenan doahs. William Ford arrived in town this morning from Atlanta, Ga. He has been signed as catcher for the home team and great work is expected of him. He will probably go Into the game tomorrow. He has not met Manager Brennan, as the latter is still absent from town.

The purchase price has not been made public. The sale includes about 20,000 ncreakpf valuable timber land located at Camel, near Jersey Shore, Lycoming county, ana about thirty-eight miles north of Wil- liamsport. It is said by experts to be the best timber land in Lycoming county. The sales alco includes the Oregon & Texas Railroad, which extends from Camel into the timber lauds, and all engines, cars and equipments. The mules, horse, wagons, etc., connected with the local branch of the business go with the transfer. Mr. Tltman retains a fourth interest in the business and will remain actively connected with it until such time as the new owners become acquainted with the details, when he will retire from active business life and on July 1st he will sail lor Europe for nu extended trip. He expects to be nbsent about two months and during that time will visit all the principal cities of the British Isles. The purchasers of the business and land have formed a company. They have not decided upon a name, but it is believed It will be The Shenandoah Lumber & Timber Company. C. E. Titman is the president, H. W. Tltman, vice president, Dr. J. S. Kistler, treasurer, and G. G. Clauser, secretary and business manager. Mr. Clauser, who has been Mr. Titmau's private secretary for five years, will manage the business for the new com pany. Mr. Titman started the business he has just transferred twelve years ago and con ducted it most successfully. He sold all the timber cut on his lands to mine opera tors and his annual sales in this region have been very large. When he first started he bought in the neighborhood of 40,000 acres of land in Lycoming county and has cleared about half of it. There is enough timber remaining on the tract for twenty years. Mr. Titman retires from business life with a fortune upon which he can rest easy. In addition to the price be received on this sale he has real estate in this town of great value and he holds majority of stock in the Shen andoah Water and Gas Company. It is also said he has a nest egg of several thousand dollars laid away. He is the largest real estate holder and richest man in the town, and there is no danger of the wolf of hunger paying a visit to his home. His career is a sample of what a man can accomplish by industry, thrift and enterprise. All watches repaired by Strouse guar- ameed for one year. Increased Help. On account of the rapidly Increasing trade and the excellent work that is executed at Fay's Steam Laundry, the proprietor has added more help to accom modate his patrons, which ho Is receiving daily by the score.

Like geese, did you think the patriots were working fur nothing and finding themselves ? When the local base bull association was organize! and the eminent array of names was made we expected big results. But you cannot always judge from ap pearances. Buffalo William gave Shenandoah the go by this trip We arj consoled with the promise of Puwnen William visiting us some time in the fall with his big. aggregation. Say, you, Mr. Merchant, stop growlinir and go to work. Ask the people to visit your store and inspect the bargains you offer. Do this through the Herald and you will be happy. Don't expect too much from our Coun cllmen. They work hard enough without pay. The majority of our borough law makers allow themselves to be elected just for the fun of the thing. We again rise to remark, that the Heuald is one of the best advertising mediums in the county. We give full measure for the money by running the- advertisements through all editions of the paper. No wonder the Philadelphia & Read ing Coal and Iron Company is nearly bankrupt, if not already so, if we nre to believe the rnmors of corruption among Its trusted officials. During the reign of the late Franklin B. Goweu, over the Philadelphia & Reading Company's Interests, he was denounced unmercifully by mnny of the employes. These same people would gladly welcome Gowen times again in preference to the present. Strouse's watch charms are elegant and reasonable in price. Special Rates to Wllliamsport.
