and Petor Dillman, who Insisted upon having
a fight. Thoy followed tho Poles to Main
street nnd nttaeked them. Y'oung was pretty

An Injustice to Tulicy.
Manager Fahoy and tho regular Shenan
doah foot ball team went to Pottsvillo Satur
day to play tho Minersvillo team at Dolan's
inrk, but tlio gamo fell through on account
of tho latter team failing to securo a suffi
cient number Of men to fill tho positions.
Only nino could bo scraped togethor. Man
ager Fahey complains that tho Miners' Jour
nal did him a great injustice by its reference
to tho aflair this morning. Ho emphatically
denies that ho scooped tho bos receipts and
skipped homeward, and claims it was under
stood that tlio gamo was to bo played in timo
to allow him to tako tho 4:40 train from
Tottsville, so that he could arrive homo in
time to attend to pay day business. A col
lection was taken up to pay him for tho
troublo and expense ho had been put to in
taking tho team to Pottsvillo and it amounted
to a little over nino dollars. At tho ap
pointed timo ho started for home, leaving
his team behind to play in caso Minersvillo
should succeed in gottiug in shapo, and tlio
gamo was not declared off until somo time
after ho had loft tlio grounds. Mr. Fahey
rays ho had nothing to do with the box re
ceipts and his action in tho matter was per
fectly straight.
