This caused a •lilt sensation, and an open-air indigna- Mit meeting wa« held, at which Mr. La. tteechare, M. P., and others denounced the GennaeDt in strong terms. As a result iif this indignation meeting for the purpose of condemning the course of the Govern­ ment toward Ireland, a conflict arose be- tween the people and the police. The riot originated in an attempt to assault the Government stenographer, who was present t» take down the speeches of Mr. La- boachere and others. The police essayed to protieot the stenographer and were set upon by the crowd, whereupon the con- | stables barged upon the crowd and re- t poised them. The mob rallied and made * desperate attempt to seize the stenog­ rapher, when the police fired into them, killing two men and wounding several." CAPTURED THEIR CAPTORS.

The Adams was seised in Bearing's Sea last month by the United States revenue cutter Bush, and Iter sealskins and fishing tackle taken away. A prize crew was pnt on board and the Captain was ordered to navigate the schooner to Sitka. The Captain seemingly obeyed for the time, but after having parted company with the Rush ooolly headed the Adams for Victoria, B. C., where she ar­ rived m few days ago. The prize crew could do nothing to compel the Captain topro- taed to Sitka, as it is understood to nave consisted of only two meu, and the crew of the Adams not having been removed was loo strong for them." u %,iy A PRINCELY GIFT. /V- WJak Hayes Donates *130,000 to vkfioilst Foreign Missions. », WABSAW (Ind.) dispatch: "Elijah Hayes 4kt this city and his wife yesterday handed over their entire property, valued at $130,. 000, to Chaplain McCabe for the benefit of the foreign missions of the Methodist Epis- "Churchi This is the largest private do- ever made to thatreligions body for BB since the foundation of the de- nomination.

A Sioux CITY (Iowa) special says: "A jttry has finally been impaneled in the Haddock murder case, in which Filed Munchrath, Jr., is defendant. Something over fifty men were examined before the panel was filled. The State and defense exhausted all their peremptory challenges. The personnel of the jury is as follows: One druggist, one merchant, two under­ takers, one gardener and seven farmers. The jury is considered much better than the one which tried John Aren6dorf, and it is believed that a verdict will be rendered in accordance with the evidence, though some think the jury will hang in any event. The defendant looks haggard and careworn, and it is thought that before the trial is over he will tell what he knows and place the crime on the right man. He was made somewhat of a scapegoat at the Arenscjorf trial. There is little question but he knows of the incidents leading to the murder and was near the scene of the tragedy when it occurred."

POUTICST" THE State Convention of the Prohibi­ tory party, held at Worcester, was the biggest delegate gathering ever held by the party in Massachusetts. It was composed of 857 delegates, representing 190 cities and towns. Its proceedings were animated from first to last by an intense bitterness against the Republican party. W. H. Earle, of Worcester, was nominated for Governor; Dr. John Blackmer, of Springfield, for Lieutenant Governor; Amos E. Hall, of Chelsea,for Secretary or State; J.H.Kilborn, of Lee, for State Treasurer; E. M. Stowe, for Auditor; and Allen Coffin, of Nan­ tucket, for Attorney General. The plat­ form accuses the liquor men of bribing Legislatures and murdering its opponents; declares asainst licensing and local options; insists on the necessity of a third party; declares that the Democratic party makes no pretensions in the direction of prohibition, and that the Be- publican party does nothing else, and, in conclusion, it demands the immediate re­ peal of all license laws and the submission of a constitutional prohibition amendment to the people. William H. Earle, the can­ didate for Governor, is a Granger and a Sovereign of Industry, is a raiser of small fruits, and has been a dealer in agricultural tools and seeds. He is 56 years old, and a fluent talker. THE Stall Convention of the Union Labor and Greenback party of Pennsyl­ vania met at Williamsport. The Union Labor platform, adopted at Cincinnati laBt February, was unanimously adopted, as was also a resolution denouncing the alleged utter disregard by corporations of the State Constitution. Charles S. Keyser of Phil­ adelphia was nominated for Supreme Court Judge and H. D. Bunker of Hollidaysburg for mats Treasurer. LABOR ttoetr tbstece. A NEW YORK dispatch says "there are now several good reasons for believing that Jay Gould will acquire, within a very short time, not only the telegraph, bat Mr. Mackay's Commercial cable as well, and the thousands of miles ot land lines that Mr. Mackay practically owns, Nsgotiations looirsng to e anion between the Gould ft mi Mackay interests have been in progress for some time. There is, therefore, every prospect that Mr. Mackay's broad scheme of a big cable and telegraph competition in the interest of the general public will go the way of smaller nud earlier enterprises." THE visible supply ot grain is reported as follows: Wheat, 30,637,120 bushels; corn. 6,836,850 bosbele; oats, 4,734,085 bushels. THE losses by fire-in the United States and Canada during August were $8,317,- 500, against $13,000,000 for the same month last year. LATE Panama advices report that a rev­ olutionary force under Bahona surprised and took possession of Port La Union, San Salvador. The garrison was be­ trayed by two of the officers. The fight between the revolutionists and the Gov­ ernment troops is reported to have been very Bevere. A general commotion is feared in Salvador. Guatemala, and Hon- duras. % A ST. JOHNS (N. F.) telegram says: "Beports daily arriving from all parts of the country go to show that the gale of the 26th of August was one that will long be remembered for the loss of life and extent of damage sustained from it. At and around the Island of St. Pierre the gale raged in all its fury. One hundred thou­ sand dollars will not cover the extent of damages to property sustained by New­ foundland vessels that were on the banks during the 6torm. Dories swept away, an­ chors slipped and lost, sails split and torn, lines, twines, and trawls lost and aban­ doned, is the daily report, and many a ves­ sel arriving has even a sadder record to tell of how those who went forth in the morning never had a chance of returning, but were swallowed up in the pitiless storm or driven to sea to die of starvation. Nor are the south and west portions of the coast the only places that have suffered. A tele­ gram from Tilt Cove gives the first report from Labrador of the gale, and it statea that from the places so far heard from as many as ten schooners have been lost, but, fortunately, no lives." MONTREAL dispatch: "The first act in the drama of McGarigle's life in Canada closed when he reached St. Catharines and defied his would-be Chicago pursuers. The second began Thursday last when the Grand Jury found a true bill against W. J. MeGarigle, Detective Pinkerton, and Col. Hickey, the first a refugee from jus­ tice in Canada and the two latter of Chi­ cago, for conspiring to defame -the charac* tor of James Baxter." AT a meeting of Boman Catholic Pre­ lates at Baltimore, the plans for the new university at Washington were adopted, and a building committee appointed. Work will be begun immediately. Eight million dollars will be required, of which about $700,000 has been secured. The Collecting Committee includes all the Archbishops and Bishops in the United States. The Bev. Dr. Keene, Bishop of Bichmond, was elected as First Sector of the university. FOREIGN. THE Irish National League meeting at Ennis, Ireland, on Sunday, ended without the expected riot. Ten thousand people assembled, but the hill at which the meet­ ing was tp be held was guarded, and the procession halted and speeches were made from carriages. A troop of hussars caused the crowd to return to Ennis, where an­ other speech was made. They were fol­ lowed by the troopB and police, and finally dispersed quietly. A THEATER took fire at Exeter, England, during a performance, and was almost totally destroyed. A London dispatch says: The lire started In the flies during the fourth act of the play. When the flames were discov­ ered a drop scene was lowered to prevent the current of air from increasing the blaze. After this was done tho actors and stage hands threw open a door to make their escape when the draft caused the flames to burst through to the drop aoene aud ignite the woodwork of the gal­ lery. The flames overtook the hindmost of the unfortunate people, who were wedged in the corridor and stairway, and literally roasted them aJive. There was no escape for 'them, the fire being at their backs, and a compact im­ movable mass of human beings in front. The firemen reached the upper windows and took out all of the people they could find, but most ot them were dead, and many others died soon after they were taken out." The surgeons in the hospitals revived a few persons who were thought to be dead from suiiocation. but by 4 o'clock in tbe morning nearly a hundred corpses laid in rows on the floor, and these did not com­ prise the total number of the dead, as a great many bodies were burned to ashes in the thea­ ter. Bome of tho dead were simply suffocated and not at all mutilated or burned. The occu­ pants of the dress circle escaped without injury, the injured and dead being confined to the pit and the upper circles. The building was de­ stroyed. One hundred and thirty bodies are known to be inside or out of the theater walls thus far. Of these 100 were men and boys and thirty women A score or more of tho injured were taken to the hospital and a large iramher were taken to their homes. THE French Government and press are pleased with the success of the experi­ mental mobilization of an army corps. The opinion prevails, it is said, that if France had been equally ready in 1870 then would have been no Sedan. MARKET REPORTS.

Although in the reports from the scene of the calamity only one exit from the gal­ lery is mentioned, tbe architect of the edi­ fice says that there were three--as he says, "broad and palatial." From the very latest and most authentic reports which have reach here it is clear that many of the victims were Buffocated, and not burned to death as has been stated. The number of viotims still remains uncertain. It .may never bo known absolutely, but the loss of Ufa is at least 150 and it may possibly be as high as 200. Nine-tenths of those who perished were occupants of the gallery, the others being from the pit and the upper bores. Not quite five-sixths at the victims perished in the staircase lead­ ing from the gallery to the street, the only means of exit open from the galleiy. It was of stone with stone walls and had sa iron railing running along on one side. It had four distinct turns and was in faot a Eiral descent. The result was that as peo-e madly rushed down they became iiope-•sly jammed and crashed at each turn. In thev frantic attempts to free themselves tho limbs of some appear to have been torn off, and in other cases fractured. At each bond or angle was found a pile of charred human remains. A high post about half wsy down the winding passage was another fatal obstruction to the free passage of tho terror-stricken crowd. But for the windows in the staiicase very few, indeed, could have escaped. One of these opened upon a leaden roof and the other overlooked the street. Several climbed out and leaped to the ground, a distance of fourteen feet, or were rescued by fire escapes. Out of 190 persons known to have been in the galleiy, very few escaped by the door. Surprise aud indignation are expressed that in a modern building there should have been but one exit from the gallery and that of such an unsatisfactory character. The victims were mostly working people. Daylight revealed an appalling sight. In a shed at the back of the London Hotel tho dead bodies were laid in rows of about twenty each awaiting identification. Crowds flocked to Guildhall as early as six o'clock for tiokets to admit them to the yard to look for missing relatives and friends. While the melancholy work of viewing the bodies went on the police were continually bring­ ing in shapeless human remains. By de­ grees the shed floors of adjoining stables were filled with the mutilated trunks, and the limbs discovered as the work of search proceeded were laid out on straw in the open yard. In only a very few cases can the bodies bo identified by their countenances. In one corner of the yard iB a heap of calcined bodies and burnt rag?. The scenes in the inclosure were most harrowing. Women fainted as they recognized by some familiar token their lost ones, and their lamentations jirere heartrending. Among the last of the%od)^ brought in was that of a father, beneath whom was found his child, only a few weeks old. The position of the arms showed that tbe poor man was doing his best to save the infant when he fell. Tbe bodies of women are in some cases only to be distinguished by their wedding-rings. As the search proceeded it became only too evident that the loss of life was not confined to the gallery occu­ pants. Lives were lost in the pit, where a terrible crush took place, and in the up­ per circle. Many charred bodies were re­ covered from the gallery saloon and second cirole saloon. The vyitims had apparently become blocked in rushing for the bal­ conies. The eharred remains of twenty per­ sons were discovered in one heap. A mother, father, and child were found clasped in one embrace. Several whole families numbering from two to five lost their lives. The number of persons severely injured is sixty, and it is feared that the death list will reach 140. ease I eould not but aeoept, but the limitation of my strength and time and tuo incessant pressure of engagements make me feel too well that I have none. So far as 1 can see the whole small residue of activity at my command will be dedicated to the great work at home.

Your obliged and faithful servant, W. E. GLADSTONE." THE NEW MORMON PRESIDENT. He Issues a Circular from His Nest in the Busltes. The question of successorship to the Presidency of the Mormon Church has been settled temporarily by the appearanae of an address signed by Wilford Wood­ ruff, President of the Apostles, which says: j "As upon two former occasions in our I hiBtorv, the duty and responsibility of ! presiding over and directing the affairs of ! the Church of Jesus Christ in all the ! world devolves npon the twelve Apostles. With the blessing of the I*wd» and the faith aad prayers of His people, w« hope to do our duty until we, too, shall ; be laid to rest." It has been thought j that either George Q. Cannon or Jo- 1 seph Smith, nephew of the original i Joseph, would assume the leadership, ' but Woodruff is in the regular line of suc­ cession and his address assuming control ! would indicate that there is to be no de- 1 parture from the orders. Wilford Wood­ ruff was born on March 1, 1807, in Hart­ ford, Conn. He assisted his father in the mills in that city until he was about 20 years of age. In 1833, in Oswego County, , he first heard of the Mormonistic creed, and about its ancient revelations, which clung to him at the first bearing. He hastened at once to consult the prophet, became enthused, ordained as an elder | and sent out to convert. In 1837 he was . ordained to a higher position and subse- ' quently was ordained an apostle, going on ; a mission to England, shortly thereafter. | For the last few years he has been in | hiding and is still oikt of sight to all save the faithful of the church.

Th* Bmnarkable Story of a Nine-Year-Old Boy's Ad ventures. [Wilmington (Ohio) special.! A 9-year-old son of Hiram Taylor mys­ teriously disappeared about thirteen months ago. He was an unusually bright child, not worse than tbe average boy. He hoarded up his money, read books of travel, and was passionately f ond of horses. Search was made, but all traces of the child appeared lost. One day last week a letter was received by Mr. Tavlor from the lost boy. It bore the date of Cape Town, Africa, and recited that, having $30, the boy had resolved to "go around the world." He hsd left Wilmington on a freight- train, stolen his way to Columbus, paid his fare to Philadelphia, and beat his passage to New York, where he found no difficulty in getting on board of a ship. He said he was in fine health, had been well treated, and was about to sail for Hong Kong. Thence he would go to San Francisco, then come hong*'. He neglected, pur­ posely perhaps, to give the names of t vessels oa which he Aadsatted. ' " • ¥ ANARCHISTS STILL HOPEFUL. * _____ As a Last Resort the United States Su­ preme Court Will Be Applied To. (Chicago special. 1 The imprisoned anarchists give no evi­ dence of excessive anxiety over their impending fate. They laugh aud chat gayly with their numerous visitors- Field- en says that should the Supreme Court's decision sustain the verdict already ren­ dered an effort will be made to carry the case up to the United States Supreme Court on constitutional points. The points relied upon for success in tuch an effort are that they were denied the right of pub­ lic assembly and of free speech, and that they, or some of them, were compelled to testify against themselves. The recent decision of Justice Field in the Senator Stanford case, they hold, is applicable on tbe last-named point. While they have given some thought to tbe question of appeal to the Federal Su­ preme Court they will not admit that they expect the State Supreme Court to decide against them. The case, they .ay, is one which for many years will frequently be cited as a precedent in the judicial tribunals of this and other countries, and the Judges of the Supreme Court, if at all mindful of % tke Order.; issued a very important circular "to the or­ der everywhere," outlining a new policy which he recommends should be enacte4 into a law of the order at the next General Assembly. The new plau is m folio Give to each trade the right to organize a National Trade Assembly under the juris­ diction of the General Assembly, said Na­ tional Trade Assembly to meet at least once a year for the election of officers and for the better regulation of the affairs of the trade and distriot. Each National Trade Assembly to have exclusive control over the affairs of its trade, without let or hindrance, so long as the constitution of the General Assembly is not violated. In matters conoerning strikes no trade or local assembly to enter npon one until all of the assemblies in the National Tra^e Assembly have voted on the question and have, by a three- fourths vote, agreed to render assistance (the general laws of the order requiring attempts of arbitration to be observed). No assistance from the general order to be given until the case has been presented to the General £xeoutive Board, and by them submitted to the order at large. In case that no assistance from the general order is required the General Executive Board in not to interview the matter. Each Na­ tional Trade Assembly to have a bureau of statistics and information concerning the state and condition of the trade, the infor­ mation to be furnished by local statisti­ cians. State, Territorial and provincial assemblies to be formed in every State, Territory and province in the jurisdiction of tbe order. In the circular Mr. Powderly also advocates a general benefit association. CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. It U Decided to Locate It at Wasbtag tea--Bishop Keane Elected the First Rector. [Baltimore special.) - fll# wtt h difference dt Opliifffrf gl- pressed as to the location of the proposed new Catholic University at a meeting of the prelates here on Wednesday. The prelates present were Cardinal Gibbdhs, Archbishops Williams, of Boston, and Corrigan, of New York; Bishops Ireland, of St. Paul; Spaulding, of Peoria; Marty, of Dakota, and Maes, of Covington, Ky.; Mgr. Farley, of New York; Eugene Kelly, of New York, and the Rev. Dr. Chappelle, of Washington. A letter from the Pope was read, commending the project and urging the education of more priests for the church in the United States. Tbe West­ ern bishops at first opposed the Washing­ ton site, f hey stated that, with the growth of the country, the West will be the most desirable place in the future, and, as the university is intended more for future generations than it is for the present, the West is the place for it. So far there is about $700,000 subscribed, including the sum of $300,000 donated by the Misses Caldwell. Tho estimated cost of the uni­ versity will be $8,000,000. There were others who advocated Philadelphia. Car­ dinal Gibbons urged Washington as the proper place. Washington was finally se­ lected, and the meeting adjourned with good feeling all around. The architect presented his plans, which were examined and adopted, and ground will be broken next month. The theological department will be the first to be opened, and on it alone much money will be spent to provide for tbe higher education of the clergy. This department will be under the man­ agement of the Sulpician Fathers. Bishop Keane, of Richmond, is to be the Rector of the university, but there is considerable speculation as to who will be the next Bishop of Riohmond. The most promi­ nent candidate mentioned at this time is the Rev. Dr. Dennis J. O'Connell, Rector of the American College at Rome. SENATOR H. H. RIlJDLEBERGER. The excitement caused by the recent ar­ rest of Senator Riddleberger, for contempt of court, by the plucky Judge Newman, of Winchester, Va., has somewhat subaidsd, although the threats of numbers of en­ raged citizens are still lurking predomi­ nantly iu the Winchester atmosphere. Riddleberger seems to take the affair in a oalm, matter-of-fact way that only tends toward causing the enragement of the Judge and his adherents, to the perfect de­ light and satisfaction of Riddleberger and his constituents. • • • . ' '/ Lined Eggs. Th© editor of the American Poultry Journal says, in regard to limed eggs: We will say this, that of all tho nasty, mean, contemptible, disgusting frauds that were ever foisted upon a suffering public the preserved (!) egg is tho worst. There are only two kinds of eggs, and no process of preserving can keep an egg good, for an egg is really alive when it is first laid, and when the germ dies it is a dead egg, and so a bad egg and unfit for human food. It is true, by the use of cold storage and some lime pickles, an egg may be kept from becoming actually so rotten that people with air-tight noses and oast-iron stomachs may be able to eat them; but so far we have never tried to eat a preserved or pickled e?g that was fit for a hog to eat, let alone a human being. We hope that a move­ ment may be soon made to class pre­ served eggs in the same category as ^ oleomargarine or butterine, aud deal- their reputations as jurists, cannot afford, i ers compelled to brand them as they say, to sanction the grave errors ! such, and it be made a statutory of- which, in their belief, were committed in the trial.

' . ' WKsipKpas I -•*. nut 4 «L.« The Eastern trip of the Western Leaxrae clubs which has fust ended his proved, somewhat disastrous one for the ChkMo Club, in that fhey ace now fuithsr ££md the Detroit Chib in the League pennant nee than they have been for aix weeks past. Detroit has played fooft bell; ..Iheie^ can be no question sa to that, bat it has ' •h®"1 lacky, very lncky, for while the ^ White Stockings have encountered wretched . weather that has caused the postponement4 > -4 of several games which they were reasonably sure of winning, Detroit has not had a single game postponed, and its platen > were never in better condition for a race s than they have been upon this trip. At tbis writing Cljicago and Detroit ate play­ ing their last series of the year, upon the Detroit grounds; and upon the result of 2 these depend, to a very great extent, Chi- : cago s chances for the pennant The sluggers were never in better form.4 ; Their two crack pitchers, Getzein and tf'*' Gruber, are quite as effective as anybody's ' pitchers, while the big batters are hitting the ball unmercifully. No matter how . many runs the opposition may make, the ^ heavy hitters secun always able to pound ^ out a greater number. Just at tikis time, •' when all the wiseacres were predicting their downfall, the Detroits are playing by W odds the best ball seen on Leaguediamonds this year. Their Eastern trip has been a? round of successes, and Detroiters predict < that their team will increase their lead after their return home. Tbe Chicagos left home three weeks sgo * " a tie with their revals. Bnt the trip has turned out somewhat badly. They lost two games out of three in Pittsburg, two out of three in New York, one of two in Washington, and one of the two champion­ ship games played in Philadelphia. A year ago this date the outlook was much brighter for Chicago. Captain An- i son s men had won 70 games and lost 24, while Detroit had won only 68 and lost 27. Even then Detroit came near beating Chi­ cago out. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and the champions have the uphill before them. During the team's Eastern trip Anson signed a new player, of whom he thinks farticularly well. His name is Robert ettitt, ana Chicago paid the Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Club $500 for his release. Pettittis a blonde, with blue eyes and a small, red­ dish mustache, and is bu>lt after the race- horse style of Pfeffer and Van Haltren. He is about 24 years old. Before he joined the Wilkesbarre nine he used to play with the Waterburys in the Eastern League. Manager Mack, of the Wilkes*, barre Club, in speaking of tne new man, says: "Pettitt is the best general player I ; ever saw. He is a cracking good pitcher and backstop, and as a short-range fielder he is ahead of them all. I think him Denny's equal at third, and as a base run­ ner he Las not an equul in the International League. He has been with us nearly two months, and in all that time he has never been caught stealing a base, although he is purloining them right along. He is a terrible left-handed batter, but when oc­ casion ̂ requires it he is equally effective with his right. I have no hesitation in say­ ing he will make a great hit in the Chicago nine." Captain Anson has decided to play Pet­ titt in the right field for the present. When the reorganization of the club comes next season, as it surely will, th * youngster will probably be found in the infield. President Spalding, of tbe Chicago Club, is evidently not worried as to the final out­ come of the pennant race. A correspondent ? | found him in his office, at 108 Madison street, the other day, just after he had re- turned from his Eastera vacation trip. He said: "We are in tbe best position, under the circumstances, that a club could occupy. i We are making a sharp, stern race. The ; responsibility of leading the league is a severe and wearing one. We shall go to the front in good time." , J "Do you want the Chicago Clnb to win the pennant again this year?" "Yes, sir; and ior the next fifty years, if it can. We've had the pennant six out of eleven years, and we're going to keep it as ; a permanent fixture if we can. I'll take the alleged risk of thereby injuring the game. It pays to be champion, and I'm so ; well satisfied with the receipts that we Bhall keep right on capturing pennants. Why, : 5 I'm more confident this year than I was . last that we shall end the season at the head." "Why so?" "One reason is because of the exemplary habits of our boys." "Have you seen any newspaper alinaion* to a nigger in a wood-pile, referring to the Chicago Club?" "Yes; these insinuations come annually. They generally begin with a declaration that Chicago doesn't want the champion­ ship this year. Then follow intimations that Anson will play so as to throw the pennant to this or that club. All this is absurd.. If we were to sanction any such policy the League wouldn t survive a season. Why, take John R. Day, Mr. Soden, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Beach, Mr. Nimick, Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Brush and the men who are responsible for the existence of the Leagues-do you suppose we would countenance any attempt or suggestion of barter? No, sir; every game must be played on its merits, and both clubs must play to win, or good-by to honest ball-playing." KOTES AND COMMENT. The attendance at forty-two League games in Boston was 200,000. In cold fig­ ures, Bostonese have paid $115,000 to see the Bostons play ball. Caruthers' folks are trying hard to in­ duce him to retire from the diamond and go into business in Chicago. They'll pro­ vide the capita! if he will drop base-ball, and--quit sporting. If the fight should be close at the wind- 5.P and Chicago ahead, McCormick, of Pittsburgh, says he will do his level best to knock out the champions in the em>.l four games with Pittsburgh. President Nick Young says he has had lesB trouble with and complaints about Powers than any other umpire. Evan De­ troit is beginning to like him. The Pittsburghs have not yet won a game from Getzein, Bufiington, and Whit­ ney, while Clarkson, Radbourn, and Boyle have been easy marks. George, O'Day, Shaw, Gilmore, Con­ way (Boston), Morris, McCormick, Healey, Boyle, Baldwin (Chicago), Baldwin (De­ troit), have all pitched in more losing than winning games. "Buck Ewing did not impress people favorably here as Captain of the New York nine. He repeatedly willfully committed infringements of the rules, and kicked without cause. He lacked the bearing and dignity of ex-Capt. Ward."--Boston Ex­ change. Some of the Chicagos can do something else well besides play ball. Tommy Burns is a very line pool player, and Aneonj, Will­ iamson, and Clarkson are crack billiardists. Dan Brouthers failed to make a hit in the three games Aug. 18, 19, 20, a thing that has not happened to him before this seasqp. He got three bases on balls, how­ ever. Miller is the one player Pittsburgh brought into the League there is no divi­ sion of opinion about. All admit that he is one of the great catchers of the profes­ sion. Beatin, the "Allentown Wonder," who iB with the Detroits, is a smooth-faoed, ruddy-cheeked young man, who has an out-curve that looks like a rainbow. The Bostons and Chicagos will be com­ pelled to play the three postponed games of last week somewhere in the West while the focmerare oa tbeiraext WSstem trip. * 4 * - ' -- u -- - -- - - -- " - > • -- . * ! # ... ;i
