McCar thy, of town, by the Hazleton Sentinel and the Freeland Press have resulted in suits for criminal libel against the man agers of both papers. Mr. McCarthy on Saturday swore out warrants before Al derman Laubacli, of Hazleton, for John McCarthy, of the Sentinel , and 11. L. Edmunds and Ely Crawford, of the Prctts. The three were arrested, and bail was furnished by all for their ap pearance at court. The particular ar ticle published in the Hazleton paper read as follows; FUKKLAND'H FIHEIIHANI). The threat of I). J. McCarthy, the flannel-mouthed firebrand of Freeland, to arrest the Sentinel for libel Is the ri diculous thing in the Quay county light. Nobody could libel McCarthy. His character is such that nothing could hurt it. His conduct in the new county campaign shows that he is a rascal who who would not stop at any lie no matter how mean or contemptible, and his ef forts to make a religious war at Free land shows that ho is a dang< rous man to any community. He is just as bad as lie looks and his looks are justification for all the bad tilings one could say about him. The above was republished by the Freeland paper, which, in addition, printed other items that reflected upon the defendant as president of the school board. Editor McCarthy states that a number attorneys have pro nouneeds tlxrwWicle libelous. There is no diH of IIIh Wound.

The Sands & Astley circus trains came in oyer the Lehigh Valley yesterday morning from Reading and despite the inclemency of tlx; weather gave a first class parade and two exhibitions which were well attended. If one is to judge from tlx- applause and good words spok en of them after they had left, they gave the very best of satis faction and sur prised everyone with the magnitude and especially the quality and number of their animals and their exhibitions. The show Is given in two rings with aerial acts and ground stage in centre, between the rings. It is impossible to describe the show in detail. Suffice to say, that a first-class entertainment with plenty of novelties and fully up to date was given. Tho racing and wild west features were especially good. The menagerie lias four elephants, seve ral camels, zebras, sacred ox. alpaca and a great number of cages of line foreign animals which are really well worth tho admission price alone to see. The horses witli the show are as fine speci mens as were ever here with any show and there are lots of them. Taken in its entirety the Sands & Astley show was the best value for the money we have had for years and if they come again they can rest assured of having a big business. READING TAKES A GAME. WEAKNESS IN THE BOX CAUSES THE TIGERS TO LOSE. Tli© I'roOsioiiiils from IlerkK County Fall On to llall'H Delivery and Knock the liall to Mi't Tlicin-e!veH—The Lucalu Discouraged ly the Fierce Batting. Fully 800 ardent admirers of the national game assembled at the park yesterday afternoon, with the satisfl d appearance of the man who thinks that, for once in his life he has done the right thing by himself in patronizing a sport that was of good quality and well balanced. The marvelous work of the Tigers last Sunday in defeating Allen town, supposedly the strongest club in the State league, served to attract con siderable attention to their playing, and it was fully expected that they would be ible to cope with Heading in a masterly •*tyle. But as to the manner in which this hopeful expectation was dispelled is best left to be told by the optimist. Reading exhibited the greatest batting streak seen here in a single tuning. They did not fail to take advantage of Pitcher Hall's accommodating little shoots, nor did they despise his slow, easy straights, but ate up everything that was eatable, of the mass that was produced for their delectation. Nine hits for a total of thirteen bases, netting ten runs was tin? amount of damage they did in the first inning alone. Enthusiasm was high for a little while after the first inning, when the Tigers scored the only runs they secured in the game. These were obtained by a few timely hits, with the, assistance of an error. The homo club was demoralized by weakness in the box, and the silence which fell upon the game after the second inning was depressing both to players and spectators. Rrislin succeed ed Hall in the box in the fourth innii g and held the professionals down to seven hits for the remainder of the game. The score: TIGEHH. ' HEADING. H. H.O.A.E. H. H.O.A. E.

In two games at Hazleton on the Fourth McFadhen played first for the club of that town in very good style, lie had two hits, seventeen put outs, two assists and one error. Bonner play ed short in the afternoon game, and hud hut two chances, both of which he ac cepted. Hull alone was responsible for the de feat of the local club yesterday. The Tigers were ready to give him gilt-edged support again, but they codld not pre vent runs in a cannonading such as took place in the first inning. The Travelers went down to Weather ly on Thursday and found the club there an easy victim. Both sides played loosely and the score ran up to 31 to 18 in the Fre.eiand lads' favor. Allontown, with Jack Milligan and Ids troupe of sluggers, will try next Sun day to redeem their recent defeat. Tlgho, recently with Pottsvfllo, has been blacklisted for jumping to Ro chester. The Tigers have eight games won and four lost, Percentage, 607. Hazleton failed to win a game Thurs day, but It was no fault of the players borrowed from the Tigers. Pfrom, who is now playing at Mill ville, N. J., held the opposing team down to three hits on the Fourth, but the Cuban (Hunts touched him up for eighteen on Friday. The Slars played a stubborn game against the Pioneers, of Hazleton, at the park yesterday morning, and won by the score of 7to 8. Thirteen innings were required to decide the game. OtHcurri Klcclod.
