J. Brown, who is able to be around again, took his star aggregation of baseball players to Butler yesterday and It required Just three hours for the Spotty McBrides to put tne bug on the bunch from the official weatherworks town. George Washington Hooson was on the slab for the visitors and it is said that but for errors by his team-mates, the game would be iu progress yet as far as he was concerned. His opponent, Witherup, was also in great form and aided by an "irreducible" hoodoo which the Butler team seems to hold over the Punx'y nine, the Rube finally won out in the 15th inning. Some of the features of the game as reported In the' Butler papers are as follows: Butler scored one run In the first inning on Bates' three-bagger and a bad throw. Punx'y scored in the third on a base on balls and a single, ti was a fast game for the rest until the fifteenth inning when Businsky singled, stole second and scored when MacKown muffed .Murphy's easy fly. Two were out when the winning run was made. It was a pitchers' battle all the way. Witherup and Hobson each allowing five hits. The game lasted three hours. —Eagle. The spectators saw a heart breaking exhibition of baseball in which every player was in 'the game every minute of the time. In Butler's half of the 15th, with two men out, the rignt fielder missed an easy fly and a moment later Butler had a man around the bases and the greatest, contest of the season was over.— Times.

The following item was printed in the Piusburg Times yesterday morning:"The body of an unknown man was found early last evening between two coal barges in the Monongahela river under the Wabash railroad bridge and was taken to the morgue, he was about 6u years old and had been dead for 10 days. On a card In his pocket was written, "James McEwIn, 434 Indiana Street, Punxeutfcwney. Pa." In his coat were found two religious pictures and a bead rosary. The clothing consisted of dark blue trousers with a light stripe, white and blue shirt., black coat and black lace shoes." James McEwln lived with his family at 434 Indiana Street until last summer, but while working at the Bower's mines, near Winslow, became embroiled in a quarrel with some foreigners, during which he discharged a revolver, the bullet taking effect in the hand of a woman who was also a foreigner. McEwin was arrested by Constable Park 'Walker, of this place, on a warrant charging him with felonious shooting, and although he put up a strong plea of self-defense, he was tried, and found guilty as charged at the August term of Court, 1904, and sentenced to 3 years in the Western Penitentiary, only one of which he has <sei*ved. i It is therefore not probable that uie body found in the Monongahela river, Monday evening, was that of James McEwin, wnose family, consisting of a wife, two blight and industrious girls and an energetic son, was completely prostrated by the news until they were assured by Chief of Police Palmer, who investigated the matter, that the man who was drowned was not Mr. McEwin. It is probable that the unfortunate man who lost his life in the Monongahela was a friend of McEwin's who intended coming this way and had secured the address. (■rami Lorigr Offices.

"Pop" Allen had a bad "half hour" Friday, when with two runners treed he let one of them get on third and the other sprint safely home. It was a plain case of too much of a good thing coming all at once. Umpire Hoover was completely fooled Friday by O'Leary's bunt toward third which rolled foul until it got almost to Allen and then crossed the line onto fair territory. "Ump" nad called tt a foul, however, and that settled it. The outside men and the store clerks at Adrian have played two games of ball and each team has a game to its credit.

Notes. ae Bible class for teachers and other Bible students on Monday evening was taught by Rev. Miner, and those who were absent missed a treat. It Is really little short of marvelous that njpn' and women who have assumed the responsibility of Sabbath school teachers should neglect such an opportunity of preparing themselves for. this supremely important work as is this Monday evening class. Mr. Stine, the regular leader, Is a powerful Bible teacher, and during his absence the class .is being most ably taught by local ministers, so tuat the fault must be In the teachers. Teachers, wake up! Highland' Park 'has been selected as the place for next Sunday's afternoon meeting. The meeting will be held in the large tent above the pairlllton, the Bides being taken down Do admit- light and air, and If necessarv enlarge the space. Rev. C. W. Miner will address the meeting, the male quartet will sing, and there will be other musical features Those going from Punxsutawney should tfcke the three o'clock car. The meeting will begin at 8:45 and close at 5 sharp. It Is open to all, men and women, and all are cordially invited. We feel safe In saying that all who took advantage of the DuBois R. R. Y. M. C. A. excursion to Alameda Park, Butler, jwtacday* had* a Jolly good tin*. What til* crowd luM The following press dispatch from Leecliburg, dated August 18, appeared in the city papers last Saturday.While bathing in the Allegheney river at Godfrey, two campers, the Rev. William A. Bilhelmer, of Youngwood, and Miss Verna Morrison, daughter of State Representative W. F. Morrison, of Mt. Pleasant, were drowned this afternoon. The two campers were members of a party of Ave, consisting of Mr. Foster and his mother, of Jeannette, and Miss Sullinger, of Youngwood, Pa. Miss Morrison and the Rev. Bilheimer went bathing this afternoon in (he river to test a pair of patent floats. Miss Morrison supported herself by the floats and the Rev. Mr. Bllheimer, walking on the bed of the river, supported her head and was trying to teach uer to swim. Nelthcould swim. The bed of the river near this point Is full of holes and venturing too far out Bilhelmer suddenly stepped beyond his depth. In his struggles to regain his balance he knocked the floats from under Miss Morrison, who also fell into the hole. Young Foster, who was out in the river rowing, saw the accident but was too far down the river to render any aid. Rowing as speedily as possible to the spot he was only in time to see the pair sink. Assistance was called from nearby farms and within 20 minutes the body of the girl was recovered. About half an hour latter divers brought the body of the young minister from the hole. The Rev. Mr. Bilhelmer was 27 years old and his parents live in Allen town, Pa. He had preached In this vicinity several times and was well known here. He was In charge of a church at Youngwood, Pa. Miss Morrison was 22 years old and was also acquainted In this vicinity. Her father left Mt. Pleasant upon recelvlns word of the accident and arrived ban tonight to take charge of ht> daughter's body. . * ' ' I w 1
