Representative Ammerman seems te be a statesman whom experience does net teach. One would think that no intelli gent Democratic legislator, with the his- jrcy-ef the electoral commission before 'him, would be willing te suggest the formation of a body unknown te the constitution, te de the work depute' te the Legislature te de. Mr. Ammerman proposes te his fellow legislators that they shall elect a half score of quite respectable gentlemen of the state, into a commission te sit upon and decide the question which the Legislature itself finds itself unable te decide, though it is the apparently simple one of deter mining the proper division of the stale into congressional and legislative dis tricts. The only excuse for Mr. Am merman's preposition is that a constitu tional duty imposed upon the Legislature cannot be performed by it ; therefore he considers that it should be performed by some one else. The only objection te his conclusion is that the constitution al duty of the Legislature can only be performed by the Legislature. That is as geed sense as it is geed law. If the Legislature is unable te de its dutyr.e one else can de it in its stead ; and if anyone else could, no one else should. It is apparent that a wrong will be done te the right by getting Tem, Dick and Harry te de what it is the duty of the people's chosen representatives te de. This wrong was done, as everyone new realizes, and many then realized, when Congress deputed its work te the elec toral commission. Ne statesman who supported that commission has been able since te carry the lead; and Mr. Ammerman, if he should get what he new askB for, would have cause te be very sorry for it. Perhaps he asks it b9cause he does net expect te get it. Perhaps he thinks it is a fair looking preposition which the Republican Senate will incur odium in rejecting. But in this he is mistaken. He but gives the Senate a chance te show that it lias mere sense, and a higher appreciation of the sense of the people, than he exhibits. There could net possibly be a mere unwise preposition than this one te substitute for the Legislature a body un known te the constitution te perform the function of the Legislature. The people will have ue trouble in recognizing its felly. They knew that the state must be apportioned by the Legislature. They knew that if the present members of the Legislature Gnd themselves unequal te the duty, that they can only properly avoid it by resigning their seats and per jnittinz the people te elect men in their places ; but the Legislature cannot ap point another body te be the Legislature. The gentlemen Mr. Ammerman selects for his commission maybe very com petent te de what the Legislature can not de. Ne doubt they would be equal te the very simple work assigned them if it was properly their business which it is net, and cannot be. Northern Pacific. The Northern Pacific railroad seems te have a vocation as a cudgel for the stock market. Ten years age Jay Coeke and company collapsed under their effort te build it and took the stock market down with them. Since then the North ern PaciGc has been shouldered by a syndicate of speculators, who a few years age confided some eight millions or mere, in a the manipulation " blind peel, " te of one Villard, an ex-Ohie schoolmaster, who had drifted out te Oregon, and coma into control through a receivership of the bankrupt Oregon railroad and steamship company. That concern vrca combined with the Northern PaciGc under the " blind peel " syndicate which assumed the corporate name of the Oregon trans continental company. Just new the Northern PaciGc is reported te be com pleted and a cargo of German wise men, imported by Villard, has reached our shores with free tickets from Bremen te the PaciGc and back again and luxurious accommodations by the way. The completion of the read has been looked forward te by the managers as the time for gathering their harvest ; but as often happens with harvests, a fly has come in te damage the crop. Northern Pacific securities instead of going up are going down ; and it is said ttiat the securities of the Oregon transceu tinental company have been drawn from its treasury te be used as a collateral te borrow money with which te sustain the market for them. However this may be, it is clear that the investing public distrust the value of Northern Pacific stock. Notwithstanding a great railroad has been built through a rich country, and great land grants are en hand te bulwark the stock, it is net wanted at any thlDglike the prices at which it has been held. The substantial value is there for the stock. But se was it there when Jay Coeke & Ce. held it. The dif ficulty is that the value is net present but prospective. Seme day when the country grows up te the existing facili ties for transportation between the Mis sissippi valley and the Pacific, and when the land along the Northern Pacific is settled upon, the stock of the read will be very valuable ; but the question is as te hew seen this time will come. Tne public is net se sanguine of an early dividend period for the Northern PaciGc as its projectors claim te be ; and while things are in this frame of mind the present owners of the stock will need te held it with their own capital and con. fidence. The New Yerk Sun prints te-day as a fit memorial te Judge Black his great speeches before the electoral commission, in which he expressed the feelings of the people at the outrage upon their rights which that extra constitutional tribunal declared its unwillingness or its inability te remedy or reverse. Like the voice of a prophet sounds this conclusion of his last speech te the faithless judges : At present you have us down and under year feet Never had you a better right te rejoice. Well may you aay : "We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agree ment ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall net come unto us ; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid eanelres." Bat nevertheless wait a little while. The waters of truth will rise gradually, and slowly but surely, and then leek eat for the overflowing scourge. " The Tefage of lies shall be swept away and the hiding place of falsehood shall ba uncovered." This mighty and puissant nation will yet raise herself up like a strong man after sleep and shake her invincible locks in a fashion you little think of new. Wait; retribution will come in due time. Justice travels with a leaden heel, but strikes with an iron hand. Ged's mill grinds slew, bat dreadfully fine. Wait till the flood gate is lifted and a fall head of water comes rushing en. Wait and you will see fine grinding then. Every county in the state has at least one member of the Democratic state com mittee this year, in addition te a county chairman. Staff and line officers are ex. pected te work harmoniously together te "get out the vote." A stenographic report of the proceed ings of the late Democratic state conven tion is being printed and will seen be published under the direction of the state committee. Copies of the pamphlet will be sent te all the delegates of the conven tion and substitutes, (se far as their ad. dresses have been furnished,) te the mem bers of the state committee and te the chairmen of the county committees. Other copies will be furnished upon application te the chairman of the state committee upon enclosing a three com stamp. Chairman Hensel, ei the Democratic state committtee, takes a hopeful view et Democratic prospects in the state. He saya that within four weeks after the state convention there has been mere work dene thau in the eight weeks succeeding the convention last year ; that the work has been untiring, energetic and thorough, and that there is a Democratic organiza tion in every election precinct. Mr. Hen sol believes there will be a larger vote polled this vear than is ordinarily expect ed in au efi year, aud he is confident of the success of the Democratic ticket. Monsienor Cavel explicitly denies that his mission te the United States has auy special significance, and he proneuuees as " a pure myth" tne rumor that ue is preparing the way for the transfer of the papal court from Italy te America. Te any one at all acquainted with Catholie traditions this statement was entirely un necessary. But nowspayer correspondents must have something te write about, and the continued discussion of the pope's ar rival in American dominions may be confidently looked for until the crack of deem. After Sept. 1, the headquarters of the Democratic state committee for the present campaign will be permanently located in rooms Ne 7 and 0, at the Girard heuse, Philadelphia, the same as wcre occupied last year and by Cel. McClure in the Cur. tin Lincoln campaign of I860. The clerical work of the committee has been vigorously prosecuted since the opening of the year and is much further en thau at the corres ponding stage of last year's campaigu. The work of the organization will ba somewhat simplified this year by reason of the fact that there is no election for nor cemplica tiens ever members of the Legislature and congressmen. The efforts of the state committee will be concentrated upon get ting out the full Democratic vote. Hastings Geiir, the well known Re publican politician of Franklin county,has probably found by this time that it is net the safest thing in the world te trifle with a fearless newspaper. During the 1880 campaign he asserted that the Chambers burg Valley Spirit had been bought by Jehn Stewart te aid in defeating H. J. McAteer in the contest for the senatership of the Thirty-third district. The paper promptly instituted a libel suit against Gehr and it was put down for trial at the September term of court. The defendant new publishes a sweeping retraction of his charges, declaring" "that there was no foundation whatever for his statement, " and in addition has paid all the costs of the prosceution. Mr. Gehr evidently " didn't kuesv it was leaded." An interesting question with an amus iug phase has arisen in Trenten, New Jer sey, where flve Chinamen, imprisoned in the state penitentiary, threaten te sue the btate prison keeper and beard of inspectors for heavy damages for depriving them of their queues. They claim that the con stitution dcelarcs that no person shall be deprived of the privilege of worshipping Ged according te the dictates of his con science, and that the queue is au element of Chinese religion. Peer Le has a hard time of it in the land of the setting sun. Net only has the edict gene forth that the " Chinese must go," but the uneffendiug pigtail, the cultivation of which has caused him te lie awake e'nights, must fellow suit when he gets within the four walls of a prison, if Le would rejoice in the con tinued possession of his sacred queue, he must stick te his " washee " and beware of entrance into penitentiaries. The last day for the registry of voters this year will be Thursday, Sept. 0, and out of abundant caution every voter should satisfy himself that his name en the book with a tax assessed against him. Other wise he may be disfranchised. Democratic committeemen and politicians should be active and energetic in looking after this new te the exclusion of every ether po litical consideration. It will net de te assume that because the bulk of the voters paid their taxes last year that the registry this year is an unimportant mat tcr. Special attention should be given te the registry of all persons who did net pay taxes last year, te persons recently naturalized or about te be naturalized, te these who voted (en age" last year or who will ceme 22 years of age before Feb ruary, and te all whose residence has been changed since November, 1883. " Atten tion te the registry " is the immediate duty of all interested in Democratic organization. Plaisted, the advance agent of the combination of professional oarsmen, is making arrangements for a regatta en the Passaic en August 31 and Sept. 1. The purse is te be $1,500 and the contestants will be Teemer, Hesmer, Ross,Lee,EIliett, Reilly, Ten Eyck, Gaisel, McKay and Piaisted. STOEM AND WAVE. TIME TBAOK OF TBI TURK ADO. tmshUal Savage ex tbe Storm in Minneso ta A Collates Off tne Edyitene JJght Ejgbteen LIym Lest. A correspondent at Rochester, Minn., has compiled from the official reports of the relief committee and of the agents sent out by the county commissioners es timates of the losses of different farmers in Olmstead county. The agents report that the path of thecyolene was from west te east and was about eighteen miles long. They have examined the condition of fifty farms in the traek, and say that every house and barn en them was demolished, and that much valuable stoek was killed, farming machinery wrecked and thousands of bushels of grain destroyed. The less te farmers in the county is net less than $200,000. In Rochester itself much relief work is being done and $25,000 have been received, but the funds are still inade quate. One hundred and fifty families are des titute and rely en outsiders te shelter them. One hundred and forty buildings will be erected en sites vacated for the purpose. A building association will be formed, in the fund of which the money appropriated for the erection of buildings will be placed and will be distributed pre rata, each assisted person giving a nete for the remainder of the cost of the im provement of his building. Twe mere deaths of injured persons occurred yester- Way. Thrown UeaTlly iTem a Carriage A frightful accident occurred te two ladies in Reading en Saturday while re turning home in a carriage from a picnic in the country, by which ene was seriously injured and the ether badly bruised. When the team reached Lebanon Valley bridge a train of cars came rushing along under neath. The herse took fright, and gave a leap, which broke the shafts, and then ran tewaid the Harrisburg turn pike. The occupants wcre Miss Jen nie Hain and Miss Amanda Stendt. The former was driving when the accident occurred, and in holding en te the lines tightly in order te check the animal, she was pulled ever the dashboard and thrown violently into the read, striking en her head and shoulders. She was seriously injured, bleed from her temple and face flowing copiously. The carriage cushion was hurled into a field adjoining the read, while her, hat and watch were thrown in the opposite direction. She was conyeyed te her residence and is new lying in a precarious condition. Miss Steudt's dress was caught in the carriage which remained behind, and she escaped with a few bruises which, though severe, are net of a serious character. .News Ketes. It is asserted in Chicago that " east and west bound freight rates are being freely and almost openly cut," also that "a re bate of 10 cents per hundred pounds is being offered grain shippers from Western points, and that a rebate of $30 cents per 100 pounds is being allowed en butterine." ,A rich vein of lubricating oil" was struek at a depth of 30 feet, fifteen miles from Zanesville, Ohie, en Friday. It is reported te be flowing rapidly. William Rockefeller's double team In dependence and Clcera, was driven a mile at the Charter Oak track at Hartferd, en Saturday, in 2:1G. This is the best record ever made by any deable team, except William H Yanderbilt's Maud S. and Aldine. The annual exposition in the music hall at Cincinnati, and the two buildings con nected with it, built expressly for the purpose, will begin en the 5th proxime, and continue until October 7th. The Johnstown street steel rail company has commenced the manufacture of the rails at the Cambria iron works. The rail has the ordinary L face used en street railways, but the body and bottom are made like the T rail. Thisfeim obviates the use of wooden stringers, as the rails can be spiked directly te the cress ties and connected by splice bars, making a con tinuous rail. They are made of Bessemer steel. Drowned in ibe Channel. A collision oceurrod at 3 o'clock yester day morning off Eddystene light, in the English Channel, between the steamer St. Germain, Captain Bencau, bound from Havre for New Yerk, and the steamer Woodburn, from the East by way of the Suez canal. The Woodburn sank imme diately after the collision, and eighteen of her crew were drowned. The St. Germain, which was disabled by the collision, has arrived at Plymouth, where she landed her passengers and these who were saved from the Woodburn. The steamer Palerme, bound from Ham burg te Lisben, collided off Ushent with the steamer Rivoli, bound from Bilbao te Middlesboreugh, the latter steamer sank and five persons were drowned. A thick fog prevailed at the time of the collision. Uevernment Affairs. The commissioner of internal levcnuc has issued instructions for the investiga tion of the reports that several officers in the upper part of Seuth Carolina are sys tcmatically swindling the government by hiring persons te put up old stills in rometo places, and then capture the material in the night time and obtaining the govern ment reward of $50 for each seizmc. It is alleged that bat few of the stills cap tured in the mountains have been used for illicit distilling. Tha treasury department en Saturday issued warrants for $9,500,000 en account of pensieas,makiug about $2G,000,000 pSid out en that ae:eunt during the present month. feisty Fee of a serpent. Geerge Saunders, of Fairport, Wis., re ports the discovery of a sea serpent csti mated at GO feet in length, in L?ke Michigan, off Summer Island. Several ether persons declare that they have scen the same monster, which has a head like an alligator and three fins along it back. O. W. Guthrie, the Chicago ice man, say's that Saunders has worked for him and he is willing te vouch for the trustworthiness of his statements, though he never had any experience with him in the sea serpent line. In the Courts. A suit was begun in the common picas court in Cincinnati en Saturday by Wm. Rive against Isabella Hodgsen and ethers, in which the court is asked te annul the decree divorcing Jane M. C. Rive from the plaintiff. It is averred that the divorce was obtained by rnlatives of Mrs. Rive, new dead, and that she did net have buffi cicnt mental capacity te consent te the bringing of the suit. The plaintiff new asks that his rights te his wife's property be established. The Spraguc ladies having failed te give bends as assignees of William aud Amasa Sprague, in the matter of the Quidncck company, the supreme court at Providence removed them en Saturday and appointed Gerham P Pomroy assignee. THE SOCIETIES. Gatherings et Various Organizations. There was a large gathering at the en campment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Gettysburg yesterday. In the morning a sermon was preached at the National cemetery by Rev. W. H. Sherman, chaplain of pest 160. In the afternoon a concert was given by the Weoeacoe band, and in the evening there was a dress parade, the men being re viewed by General Beath. The judges in the Knights Templar com petitive drill, at San Francisce, rendered a decision en Saturday night. The De Melays were awarded the first prize and chose the miners' vase, always spoken of as the fourth prize. The Rapier com- mandery wen the second prize and selected " the onyx column and the St. Benards." At Ocean Greve, yesterday morning, Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman preached te an audience of ever 6,000 persons. At the same time three ether meetings were held which were attended by ever 4,000. In the afternoon Rev. J, P. Brady preached, and in the evening a beach meeting was held with an attendance estimated at 20,000. At 7:30 p. m. Rev. Geerge W. Miller, of Philadelphia, and the crowd was se great that several overflow meetings were held. Rev. Dr. B. M. Adams, of New Yerk, preached at Chautauqua yesterday morn ing, and Rev. Dr. Vincent addressed the J children in the afternoon. Tne proceedings of the Chautauqua assembly close te-day. Kecent Tragedies. Miss Amelia Tilghman, leader of the Fifteenth street Presbyterian church choir in Washington, was severely and j perhaps fatally injured by being struck en the bead by a falling brick while passing a building which was in progress of erection en North Broadway, Saratoga. Edward Atwell, jr., of Middletown, Del., was killed near Queen Anne's curve, en the Delaware division of the Philadel Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, while crossing the track in a carriage. FEATURES OF THE SrATE PRES3, The Philadelphia Evening News would like te see Oscar Wilde try te swim the Niagara whirlpool. Many of the state exchanges contain excallent weed cuts of the late Judge Black. The Erie Observer wants the laws enao enae ted by the Legislature published officially in the newspapers. The Laber World says strikes are mis takes, and that if any wrong is dene labor some better way out must be found than by striking. The HarriBburg Patriot would like te see the jail Bystcm of the commonwealth investigated with reference te its influence en the health of pfiseners. Elder Weishampel's Torch of Truth hopes there may be a striving te get back te the mere humble style of former years in the conduct of camp meetings. After the cowboys carry off the presi dent the Philadelphia Recerd expects te see the milkmaids run away with the sur plus in the federal treasury. The Philadelphia Press makes the super, fiueus announcement that Judge Agnew did net write the speech lately made by his son, the state senator. The Pittsburg Telegraph considers that well dressed men enjoy immeasurable ad vantages ever their mere shabbily clothed rivals in the race for existence. The Wilkesbarre Union Leader calls Jehn Stewart " the Benedict Arneld who stands ready te betray the trusts, hopes and confidenco of the Independent Repub licans whenever opportunity offers." When a politician, says the Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald, tells people that he heartily believes that the new civil service reform is going te eflect a regeneration of the public service, he is said te have a mild touch of midsummer madness. The Pittsburg Pest denies that it has at present, or ever had a representation in any of the state departments. Fer a brief time a worthy gentleman related te one of the proprietors held a clerkship for which he was qualified in an exceptional degree, but resignsd it some time age because of ill health. That government of a frce state will be best conducted, says the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, when the mass of its citizens rid themselves absolutely of the notion that partisanship is necessary, and decide that they will, se far as practicable, act, in connection with such political problems as come up, absolutely en their own carefully thought out convictions of rijht.

Tne Heme Team tteaten in a Hnlllant GameDy tfce Moere of 2 te O Tne JTlaeft Exnlbltlen Ever Given Here. On Saturday afternoon a very large crowd witnessed the second game between the Alteena and Ironside dabs. The seats were all packed with people and it was with difficulty that standing room, with a satisfactory view, could be obtained. Every one expected te see a geed game and they were net disappointed for a finer and closer ene was never contested en these grounds. It was fall of interest from the time of the first batter's appearance te the close and the many geed plays en both sides were greeted with tre mendous applause. On account of their failure te win the game en Friday, the Alteena manager determined that his club should de all in their power te defeat the Ironsides badly in Saturday's game. They succeeded in winning, but they have noth ing whatever te be proud of, as their team was just as streng.if net better, than upon the days they defeated the Allegheny and Harriseurg professional teams. Brown and Manlove, their best battery, were put in. The former is considered one of the finest amateur pitcaers new playing, and has been pronounced very hard te hit by all elubs that have met the Altoenas. He was net as successful in doing damag ing work en Saturday as be expected, and struck no mere men out than Hofferd ; but one less base hit was made by the home team than bis elub. Manlove, as catcher, is an excellent player, and did net have a passed ball. Fisher, the manager of the nine, who is a fine player and heavy batter, went en the nine, and Yarnall, who usually went out en strikes the day befere, was laid off. The home nine, if anything, was weaker than the day before. Sixsmith was unable te catch owing te his very sere hands and J ones went in te back Hofferd. He played a very geed game, but owing te a sere ankle, from whieh he has been suffering for seme time, he was unable te move after the the balls as rapidly as otherwise. He therefore allowed ene ball te pass him which gave the visitors their first run. Beth nines played an extraordinary game in the field and were at the bat the same number of times. The game was called promptly at 3:15 and Mr. Jehn Malone was put in as um pire, proving very satisfactory te both nines. Ne runs were made by either elub until the fourth inning and the playing was very brilliant. In that inning, Sweiter and Zseher of the home team went out en fouls and Miller at first en a fine step of Ardner. Of the Altoenas, Fisher went out en a fly te Schiller and Ardner reached first en the failure of Miller te take his ground ball, which was very hard ; he stele te first and second and scored en Jene's passed ball, Manlove going out en a short fly te Hofferd and Brown en strikes, Weed and Harris being left en base. In the seventh inning the visitors put the home team out by brilliant play ing and scored a run for themselves. Sweitzer was first te the bat for the home club and put a safe ball ever the third baseman's bead. Zecher's fly was muffed by Weed and he also get te first, wbile Miller reached his base en balls, Hoflerd's ball being stepped by the third baseman. Sweitzer was put out just before reaching home plate. At this stage of the inning a brilliant play was made by the visitors. Hofferd was en first, Miller second and Zecher third, with Kelly at the bat. One hand being out and the bases full, the Altoenas were anxious te prevent a run being made and played close up in the diamond. The seoend basemau was far away from his place and Miller, taking advantage of this, was well up towards third. Brown, the pitcher, saw this and with the ball in his hand quickly ran te second. Miller started te make third and he and Zecher were both put out at that point after hard work by the visit ors. Manleve opened the inning for the visitors and took his base en balls, Brown and Bradley following with geed hits, Ake going out en strikes. Ardncr's fly ball was taken by Hyman but Manlove waited and came home en it. Fisher closed the inning by going out en a fly te Schiller. Neither club scored again in the game, although the Ironsides had three men en bases at one time. Oldfield went out near the home plate, Miller en strikes and Hofferd en a foul. A number of ether fine plays besides these mentioned above were made during the game and it was astonishing te see hew well the home team succeeded in keeping the visitors from scoring mere runs than they did. In the third inning Zecher and Schiller made a beautiful play. Fisher sent a ball te the former hard enough te knock him down, but he held te it and threw Smith out at first. The whole score is given below and it will show what a fine game it was : IRONSIDE 3. I!

Umpire Jehn Malene. Time of game, 1 hour SO minute?. The Alteena club was surprised at the result of the games in this city and all of members were free in saying that the Ironsides are among the strongest amateur teams in the state. In regard te their de feat en Friday, they telegraphed home that the umpire was against them. The Tribune of Saturday says that is net a suf ficient excuse, however, and the boys will have te make a better ene as they should have beaten tbe Ironsides. The paper also adds that the boys would have te shut out the Ironsides badly en Saturday te get even. The Alteena boys certainly have te make seme excuse for this defeat, but they take a bad one. They kicked at but one decision of the umpire in that game anu that was the big hit of Uldheld which Ardner claimed was a foul while everyone present knew that it was a fair ball and the manager and several players of the Alteena se admitted. The truth of the matter is that the visitors were disappointed here and are unable te ex plain it. They say that they underrated the Ironsides as the result of the games shows. The club made many friends hore by their gentlemanly behavior, and this morn ing they left for Chambersburg te play the club of that town. The result of the game will be received at this office this evening Metca et tlie Field.

A. Lecal Explanation et tbe Unrrea Ball. Editors Intelligencer. I think I have penetrated the mystery of the curved ball, for which I am mainly in debted te Lieut. J. F. Meigs, of the U. S. navy, with whom I have had some cor respondence growing out of the recent ex periment here. My original idea was that the piteher gave the ball a rotary motion, by which the upper part of the ball turned from right te left and the lower part from left te right, the axis of motion extending horizontally in the direction of its flight. This new seems te be quite a mistake. The pitcher instead gives the ball in addition te its forward motion a spinning motion, the axis of such motion being per pendicular or at right angles te the line of flight. The right side of the ball moves forward in this spin and the left side back ward, just the roverse of the movement of the ordinary top in spinning. It fellows from this movement that the right forward portion of the ball will have net only the friction or resistance of the air from its forward motion, hut in addition the fric tion resulting from the forward movement of its surface in the spin whieh it is mak ing , while the left front portion will have less than its half of the friction or resist ance, because its surface moves back from the resisting air in the spinning movement. The friction of the air incident te the spinning motion being added te the re sistance en the right side of the ball and deducted from that en the left s;de, it fellows from well known law that all moving bodies tend toward the point of least resistacce and that the ball is grad ually pushed ever te the left. Frem this theery the deduction is easy, that a spinning top if rapidly moved for ward upon a hard surface, would describe a curve te the right. This experiment I have had no opportunity te try but have no doubt of its correctness. It also fellows that it the piteher can give the ball the contrary spin, it would curve te the right, though it is said only left handed men can de this. The amount of curvature in either case depends upon the ferce of the spin, and the nearness te a right angle that the axis of motion forms te the line of flight. I will leave the down curve and the up curve for ethers te discuss and the double ourve or "snake like movement" of the ball for the New Era which alone discov ered it in our rcrent Lancaster experiment. R. J. Housten. The Game at rat. Jey. In their first match game of baseball at Mount Jey the Clipper club of Harrisburg defeated the Dauntless by a scere of 11 te 8. The game was interesting and every body expected a repetition when the clubs would meet again. They met en Saturday afternoon and the contest disappointed the large crowd that saw the game. There was tee much loeso playing en both sides. By several overthrows at critical points of the game the visiting team was enabled te scere no fewer than sis runs. At the bat the home nine did seme hard hitting surpassing any thing they did this season. Drauby and Seurbeer were punished severely, while Primrose, their crack pitcher, was batted in all directions. The last two innings, the only time he pitched, Zeller, Pyle and Baker each made a two base hit, and Mooney struck oe for three base. It was their exceptionally geed batting that wen the game.
