Large Crowd* in Town.
Freoland was visited yesterday by
numbers of people from Wilkesbarre
and other Wyoming valley towns. The
Lehigh Valley Railroad excursion rate
of $1 for the round trip from the county
seat served as an inducement to hun
dreds of upper enders to spend the day
at Freeland. Ten cars well tilled arriv
ed here shortly after 12 o'clock from the,
county seat. The majority of the ex
cursionists were base ball admirers, but
there were also many others who took
advantage of the low rate to spend a
day with relatives and friends here.
The train returned at 8 o clock last
evening.
During the afternoon trolley excur
sions were run from McAdoo and South
Side towns, which further swelled the
crowd here, and it is safe to say that
there are many more thousand dollars
in town today as a result of the visitors 1
presence.

From the Bluetleid, W. Va., Tologrupli.
Early 011 Sunday morning, near
Thacker, William McNeals, of Wilkes
barre, I'a., was shot and Instantly kill
ed by Potor R. Hall. From the infor
mation at hand it appears that for some
time young Hall and McNeals have
been working together ut a lumber
camp. Their relations have never been
friendly, and on Saturday they had a
violent quarrel, but no blows wore ex
changed.
Saturday night Hall lingered long
over the flowing bowl and In the small
hours of the early morning tho liquor,
which was of the lighting kind, began
to get in its work. Hall became boast
ful of bis prowess, and avowed ills in
tention to "kill somebody before the
day was done."
About a week ago another Hall, a
brother, killed a man near Dry Fork
aud was arrested aud lodged in jail.
Peter announced to the public that 110
was bloodthirsty and was anxious to
join his brother iu tho Williamson jail.
About tills time McNeals appeared on
the scene, and Hall, we are informed,
without warning, shot him twice, one
ball passing through the lungs and
resulting in instant death.
Hall attempted to escape but was
taken into custody by a posse of citi
zens and turned over to tho authorities.
Latent. Ballot Mark Decl*io(i.
Chief Justice Storret, of the supreme
court, has handed down an opinion in
the Gearliart township election contest
from Northumberland county which
will bo of interest to the voters of tho
entire state. Judge Savidge decided
somo time ago that a voter making a
cross in tho circle at tho head of the
column on tho ticket, not containing
the names of the candidates for all tho
offices to be voted for could not vote for
another person who is a candidate for
an ollico for which no nominee was con
tained in said column, by marking a
cross in the square opposite tiie name
of such person in another column.
Exceptions to the decision of Judge
Savidge wore taken and tho case ap
pealed to the supreme court. That
court reversed Judge Savidge and sus
tained tho election board of said town
ship and directed tiie contestants to pay
the costs.
By the decision of the supreme court
a voter may vote for all the candidates
contained in tho column by placing a
cross in the circle at the top of the col
umn and lie may also vote for a candi
didate for an office for wiiich no nominee
appears iu said column, by making a
cross in the square opposite the name of
such candidate in another column.

YESTERDAY'S BALL GAME.
FIRST ATLANTIC LEAGUE GAME ON
THE LOCAL GROUNDS.
In a Pretty and Exciting Foulest at the
Tiger* Park the 4Vilke*larre Club De
feated Reading by a Score of 9 to 7 A
Large Audience Win Present.
Of the vast throng of people in town
yesterday none of those who found
their way to the Tigers park to see the
ball game between Wilkesbarre and
Reading, tiie main attraction of the
day, had any cause to regret their choice
of spending the afternoon. All tho ac
companiments ef base ball, in the order
of succession, enthusiasm, interest, de
light, excitement and final satisfaction
wore there to please the large audience.
The game, which ended in victory for
Wilkesbarre by a score of 9 to 7, was
such as the people of this section like to
witness. It oponed up briskly with
sharp playing on both sides. Gradually
it warmed into a heavy-hitting but bet
ter Holding game, and closed with the
playing and tiie excitement at its high
est, point.
This constituted the chief pleasure of
tho home people, hut it was doubly ap
preciable by the followers of the county
seat team, who were present in largo
numbers, froiu the fact that Wilkes
barre took tho lead in tho tiiird innings
and succeeded in winning out two runs
ahead of their opponents.
Tho crowd was tho largest that has
gathered in tho park since the famous
county championship game between
Wilkesbarre aud Hazleton a few years
ago, when the high-water mark of base
ball in Froeland was readied.
Fully 1,000 peoplo were on the
grounds yesterday. Many of these ar
rived early. The grand stand was
tilled almost in a single rush, and tho
choice places along tho side linos woro
speodily occupied.
When tho crowd began to jostle one
another good-naturedly for position the
players appeared. It was noticed that
some of the players and a good many of
the visitors were disposed to criticize
the Hold. Thoy seemed to bo surprised
to (bid a few small stones on the dia
mond and a little unshaved lawn in the
outor territory.
But before the game was over the
opinion prevailed generally among the
audience that a few irregularities iu tho
Hold do not prevent first-class work.
Both teams took considerable pre
liminary practice, so tiiat all the men
woro thoroughly warmed up when Um
pire Betts, at 3 o'clock, put tho ball in
play. Reading batted first, but could
not mako anything.
Wilkesbarre was blanked iu the first
two innings, but opened the run-getting
in the third by scoring two. They fol
lowed up tlio advantage in tho fifth by
lighting on to Fertch for four straight
hits, which with the help of an error by
Cockman, netted tliem five runs.
Reading was put out in oue-two-throo
order for the next live innings. They
could do nothing at all with Goodwin's
cannon ball delivery. But an accident
occurred to tho Wilkesbarre man in the
sixth inning, which weakened him for
the. rest of tho game and gave Reading
their opportunity to score.
Goodwin sent one of his spoediost
balls into Snyder. Quick as a Hash it
was returned from Snyder's bat and
struck the pitcher a little below the
heart. The ball rebounded from his
body a few yards. Goodwin followed it,
picked it up and throw the batter out
at first. Thon he roelod and fell full
length on the ground.
He. lay there motionless for several
minutes, suffering considerably, but
finally revived and resumed the game.
The mishap was one which is seldom
met with iu base ball, and sent a shiver
through the whole audience. Goodwin's
nerve in putting tho man out was loudly
applauded, but when, instead of being
carried off the field seriously injured as
ovcryono expected, he began to pitch
again, ho received an ovation.
The plucky pitcher, however, was
weakened by tho hard blow. His shoots
lacked the speed which attracted gen
eral attention in the early part of the
game. Five hits were made off him iu
the last three innings, whereas only
two hits, without, a run, were made iu
the first six.
j Reading made a dash to win in tho
last inning, but fell short. Wilkes
i barro had tho gamo well in hand
throughout and finished victorious.
' A sensational fly catch by Ciymer
I and the ovor-the-fence homo run hits of
i Clyiuer and Drauby were the features of
I the game.
