Charles Daniel. It was occasioned by
Chief of Police Tosh and two of his offl
cers, who raided the place and scooped
n four women and three men. Two men
got away, but they are known and Chief
Tosh may scoop them in at some future
time.
Chief Tosh had been notified that
burglarB were at work in the First ward
aad when be responded to the call he
found a fight in progress between the men
nud women at Daniel's place. Tosh
entered the rear door of the house with
Officers Hand and Walaltis. They placed
in custody three or four men and women
and Tosh left Walaltis in charge of them
with a drawn revolver. His instructions
were to shoot any one who attempted to
escape. Tosh and Hand then proceeded
to search the house and when they got
through they had in custody Charles
Daniel and his wife, Maud Stewart, Pearl
Cartwright, Mary Lewis, and two men,
one an Italian and the other a Pole. The
latter had 8140 In his pockets. All paid
a borough flue of $2 each for disorderly
conduct and the costs and were dla
charged.
One of the parties who escaped during
the raid was a man from Hazleton. The
other is a Wilkesbarre man. He got out
of a second story window to an awning
in front of the building and then jumped
to the pavement, almost into the arms ot
Constable Glblin. The latter caught aud
held the man and rapped at the door for
admittance. He did not know what was
going on inside and, as his prisoner made
a very plausible excuse and no one re
sponded to the raps at the door, he allowed
the man, to go. The Wilkesbarre man
made himself scarce In short order and
has not been seen since. Chief Tosh says
Glblin was not admitted because it was
not known who was rapping at the door
and the officers inside had their hands
full.
Chief Tosh says that this will not be
the only raid to his record. He has his
eye on a number of other resorts, among
them several "quiet" places, and he will

"Shore Acres."
One of America's greatest clergymen,
Lyman Abbott, in speaking of "Shore
Acres," said : "If the theatre would fur
nish us with more such plays as "Shore
Acres" the wholesale denunciation of the
stage by the pulpit could not long sur
vive." Manager Ferguson is to be com
pllmented on having secured this great
play and it is to be hoped that the attend
ance will be such as to warrant a return
next season. All who see this play will
admit that no finer comedy has ever been
seen in Shenandoah. The company is
first class In every rosptct, numbering
twenty -seven people. Fvery bit of
scenery to be used is new and Is brought
here from New- York city where "Shore

Charlei Chuck, a Pole residing on East
Centre street, was Instantly killed by a
blast in a breast of theKebley Hun mines
;nit before quitting time last night. The
exact circumstances of the death are not
known, but It Is quite certain that in his
hurry to get through his work he cut a
squib short and the charge went off while
he was walking. There was only tjne
wound and that was a crush on the back
ot the head. Chuck was a single man 27
years of age.

State League base ball is a thing ot the
past in Shenandoah. The club that rep
resented the town in the League wont to
the dogs yesterday, all efforts to re
establish it having failed. Up to noon
yesterday all Indications pointed very
favorably In the direction of a good sea
son, but suddenly one man pulled out
and the whole thing went to smash.
This one man was as the pin that holds a
ship before it is launched. Wnen he
pulled out, away she went.
James McElhenny, P. P. D. Klrlln, E.
B. Hunter and Harry Bradigan formed
the syndicate that expected to take hold
of the club. A check of 125 was in the
hands of President Hanlon as an evidence
of good faith. Yesterday morning Bradi
gan and McElhenny went to Glrardvllle
and made satisfactory arrangements for
support with General Manager Ash, of
the Schuylkill Traction Company. Both
gentlemen were in high glee when thoy
returned at noon, but when all parties
assembled at Bradlgan's store In the after
noon all things changed color. Bradigan
said he wiped his hands of the
whole affair. He gave no reason,
but it has since been stated that his
brother objected to the base ball arrange
ment, because it would interfere with tne
business in which they are engage 1 as
partners. Aa soon as Bradigan pulled
out Messrs. McElhenny, Klrlln and
Hunter said they were out, too, although
they urged Bradigan to reconsider his
determination. The others were not will
ing to embark in the base ball enterprise
unless Bradigan would act as manager
and no amount of persuasion1 could in
duce him to accept the office.
President Hanlon remained here over
night trying to pull matters together
again. .This morning he left town dis
gusted. It was Mr. Hanlon's first inten
tion to hold the team together and Bend It
to Reading to play a game there to day.
A share of the gate receipts would pqy
the team's expenses and take it to Allen-
town for the games scheduled for Wed
nesday and Thursday and by Friday the
franchise would be transferred to Easton.
This was looked upon as a very consider
ate action on the part of President Han
Ion, but seven of the players refused to go
to Reading, claiming they had played
enough games without pay this season
and were not disposed to take any more
chances. Five of these were the men who
came here from Ohio, among them Nov-
ins, Severs and Clark. They wanted to
go home and went around town taking
up a collection to pay their fares. McGar
vey was another of the players who wanted
to go home and Lee, the catcher from
Rochester, N. Y was the other. McGar-
vey said it was his first experience in pro,
fesslonal base ball and he had an im
pression It would be his last.
All the players were left in a lurch. It
Is said that not one of them had enough
money with which to purchase a cigar.
Hotolkeepers notified them that a bed and
breakfast was at their disposal "for one
run" and the Invitation was eagerly
accepted. This morning Lee left for his
home in Rochester on money he received
by telegraph. He said he would nurse
the home fireside In the future until he
meets an opening that is backed with
something. more than wind.
Of all the players Ford, the catcher, re
celves the most sympathy. He Is a rather
nice little fellow and was the only man
on the team who seemed to try to play
ball. His home is in Augusta, Georgia,
and he is stranded here among strangers
and without a cent. He traveled all the
way from Augusta to join the team and
says that this is the worst piece of luck
he has met in all his base ball career. It
they can manage to secure accommoda
tions until about Ftiday next, Ford and
Mattern may come out ot their difficulty
all right, as President Hanlon says they
will be signed with Easton when that
place takes the franchise.
Ex-Manager Brennan comes In tor con
siderable condemnation at the hands of
the public, whose sympathies are with
the stranded players, notwithstanding
they did not put up a good article ot bill.
This sympathy has been increased by
statements ot the players that they would
not have thought of coming to Shenan
doah had not the ex-manager painted a
rosy future for them In his letters.
The managers ot the Lancaster, Harrli-
burg and Reading teams are also very
sore. Neither ot them received a cent tor
bringing their teams hero. The Lancaster
man is out $75, the Harrisburg man $100
and the Reading manager Is qut 135. Had
the deal been consummated they would
have been provided for.
i ThD tall ot the deal has ti disastrous
1 effect on some town peoplo. Brennan
I loses all he put Into the team last year
' and thi year. James Smith and J. K.
P. Schelfly are also out on what they In
vested last seaion. It is also said that
Hon. B. J. Manngliau and M. E. Doyle
are losers to the extent of about $300. The
Central House is said to be a victim to
the extent of over slxy dollars for board
furnished players. It Is a bad smashup
