TUe Local Base Ball Club Is Now
on the Brink of Un
certainty. PRESIDENT HANLON ON DECK
HE AWUYED LAST NIGHT TO TRY AND
ADJUST THE DIFFICULTIES OF
MANAGER BKENNAN;
Siveral Business People Show an In
cllnatlon to Take Hold of the Club
and Keep It In Town The Deal
May Succeed.
Mem arks preliminary to the score of
the game played nt the Trotting park
ye-terrtiy aftemoio between the Shenan
doah and Hairlslmrg teams are hardly
necessary to Inform the people of the
miserable exhibition that was given by
the home team. Th players were reck
less and iudiffertnt at times and only
seemed to try to retire the Harrl-b'irgs
when the spectators exhibted impatience
with the length of the tuning.
It, wus practically another game of ball
to show Manager Brennan that the
players were dissatisfied. In fact they
itruck for wages yesterday afternoon
when the hour came for .them to go to
the grounds arrived, but Mr. Brenuan
succeeded In Inducing them to reconsider
their action and go on the diamond for at
least one more game.
Meanwhile Manager Bentley was
anxiously awaiting payment of the $.'5
due him for the postponed game on
W ednesday and the full guarantee of $,Vi
for Thursday 'j game. Malinger Brenuan
had no money. Beutl' y determined upon
a vigorous course auu telegraphed foi
President Hinlou. The mnuat'er of the
Harrioburg club joined iu the invitation.
It was this course that had some weight
In getting the home players to go upon
the diamond yesterday.
It should be staled as a matter o
justice that Manager Brennau's indebted
ness to the club is not near what mauy
people suppose it is. All the players re
celved muney on account, either in the
form of advance money, board, or railway
fare's, and three of the men have actually
received more than the amount due them.
One has received a surplus of nearly five
tollers. The amount actually due the
players Is $1178 This statement la not
based upon any assertion by Mr. Brennan,
but upon authentic Information gleaned
outside of the management. jS'everihe-
less the general indebtedness of the club
is considerable.
President Haulon arrived in town last
night and a conference was held on the
situation. It is said that President Uanlon
spoke very determinedly on the matter
and said that unless some amicable
arrangement was made the State League
would be obliged to force the franchise
either out of Brennan's hands, or locate
the club elsewhere.
Several prominent citizens of town were
also In conference with President Hanlon
and expiussed' a willingness to take the
.franchise. Among the names mentioned
inconnectlon with this offer were those
of Harry Bradtgan, T. M. Hutchison, P
P. I). KIrlin and James McElheniiy.
When these names were mentioned their
was a unanimous expression of opinion
that with such a. management the Shea
uudoah would at osce become one of the
mo.it active and prosperous clubs in the
league.
President Hanlon and John Martin
spent several hours today in efforts to
bring about a new management and met
with considerable successi Everybody
Mr. Hanlon called upou agreed with him
that a base ball club Is of great benefit to
a town, especially a League, club that has
good backiug, as it draws visitors to the
town, by the thousands during the season
and the refreshment people certainly
make more than they would if the to.vn
bad no club. There is a strougsentlmeut
la favo&of keeping the club here.
This afternoon it looked as If President
Hanlon would be successful in having the
club kept here. He had already received
$175 from citizens who were anxious to
help the movement along. If Unrequired
amount Is forthcoming Brennan will
promptly withdraw from the club and
the franchise will be transferred at a
meeting of the State League to be held
at Carbondale tomorrow. It the funds
are not forthcoming the franchise will
probably go to Easlon, or Philadelphia.
Manager Brennan has received a letter
from Setley and Toman, who are at
Amsterdam, N. Y. They want to come
to Shenandoah.
The Harrlsburgs and home team played
their game this afternoon. Both were
satisfied from the efforts being inada, by
President Hanlon that all guarantees and
salaries would be paid. Hanlon and all
connected with the League who have
visited Shenandoah agree -that the town
is one of the most promising place in the
state for a franchise.

MYSTERIOUS GIRL BURGLAR
SHE HAS HAD FULL SWING FOR
SEVERAL MONTHS WITHOUT
BEING DETECTED.
Last Night She Entered The Lloyd Street
School Building and Was Seen,
But Got Out Again and Es
caped Arrest
A crowd of about three hundred men,
wo uen and children cathered in front of
the school building at thecorner of Lloyd
and West streetn at about eight o'clock
last night and kept the neighborhood in
an uproar for about an hour. The assemb
lage was caused by a report that a little
girl was seen in the school building at
the hour --tnted. Stories of all kinds flew
about. S3ine said a child bad been un
intentionally locked in the school build
ing during the afternoon, and othi-r
spread the report that the girl bad entered
the building to steil. The latter story
proved the correct one.
Word wns sent to Janitor Cook and he
sent for the' police. Thomas Lee re
sponded and subsequently School Director
Davenport, Chief of Police Tosh and a
Herald reporter made their appearance.
The janitor stated that since lust Christ
mas the several rooms of the building
have been entered and robbed of petty
articles, but the thefts have always been
of a myntcrious character. Once the
janitor remained on guard until hall
past one o'clock in the mornlug, but was
unable to get any clew to the guilty
party, or fee anyone tttempt to get into
the building. The building was also
mysteriously entered on Thursday night.
Several children added their stories to
that of the janitor. They said shortly
before eight o'clock last night they saw
a girl crawl into the school room on the
first floor at the pnuthwest corner of the
building. The. girl whs apparently eleven
years of age. The oiily description given
of her was that she wore an old apron
wtapped about her waist.
After hearing these stories the police
and o' hers decided to make a search ol
the building. Every room, closet and
corner in the place was carefully Inspected
with the aid of, light from a lantern
and a lamp, but no one found
Upon entering the room indicated
by the children who had given informa
tion traces of a previous vMt by some
body were discovered. One of the lower
window sashes facing on the alley west
of the building was released from the
catches inside and slightly raised above
tbe sill. Tho lock of a drawer of the
desk of MlsiLee, the school teacher, was
broken and the drawer was partly open.
The contents were missing, but they were
of no value.
A second careful inaction c-f the
building was made from cellar to roof,
but still no perbon wns found and, as it
was impossible for anybody to escape
from the building without detection after
the crowd assembled, it waB concluded
that the myster.ous visitor must have
taken flight through the window during
the first excitement occasioned by the
children and while the janitor was being
sent for. The window found open was
the same through which the children say
they fow tbe girl enter. Several adults
confirmed tbe stories, but no one could
give a description of tbe mysterious
visitor by which an identification could
be made.
The general opinion is that tho child
thief must have an accomplice in an
adult. If not, she must have wonderful
courage to enter and search the large
lonely building at night. Janitor Cook
Is most anxious to have the mystery
solved and tbe police are doing all in
their power to do it.

tionfor its clam chowder and will serve It
for free lunch tonight.

"Shore Acres."
Denman Thompson, theatithorof "The
Old Homestead," said to a well known
Xew York manager the other day: "I
went to see James A. Hearne's nlaV
Shore Acres' three times In one week.
The first time I had seats, the second
line I had a box, uud the third time I
tood up all through It." This is tbe
fourth year for this great play and many
predict it will continue to be pnpnlareven
n the twentieth century. There are a
great many people here who remember
'Hearts of Oak" which Mr. Hearne wrote
many years ago and often pliyed here.
'ohore Acfes" is even a better play aud
none Rbould fail to see it at Ferguson's
theatre on Wednesday evening, May 22d.
This will be tbe last play of the season.
