IiCaR'DAXLl$felJLlGENCEB TUESDAY AUGUST 7.' 1883. i ' V .Lancaster fritelligencer. TUESDAY EVENING. ATJG.7.1B83. HuHt It Down. Judge Birdsall, of Connecticut, an old and very reputable and active Dem ocrat, declares anew that General Han rock's defeat for the presidency was due te the direction given by Mr. Tilden te bis friends te secure that end. Hancock was beaten by the less of the vote of New Yerk by a narrow majority, and Judge Birdsall names eleven counties controlled by eight friends of Mr. Tilden where the Democratic less was 15,754. He also says that one of Mr. Tilden's friends told him at the national Democratic committee rooms en the morning of October 27, 1S80, the substance of direc tinnq h had received the day before from Mr. Tilden te strive for the defeat of Hancock, and that he further told him where the nefarious work would be done. These charges are net new, but they are entitled te attention afresh as new made by a responsible and disinterested Democrat, who may be mistaken, but who honestly believes what he says There are a great many people who will incline te believe that there is substan tial truth in Judge Birdsall's allega tions, if they are net fully met and con tradicted by Mr. Tilden. They are brought forward new in a shape which requires that astute politician te meet them. Mr. Tilden has during his life been the object of a great many charges of one kind or another, which have been disposed of in such a way as te leave a Urge portion of the community in con siderable doubt as le what kind of a fellow he is anyway. The Deni. ecratic party naturally inclines te think very well of him, since lie was once their candidate and the rauk and file are net very ready te admit that lie can be anything but a very geed man te have ecccupied that exalted posi tion among them. Tiiey will be disposed te consider that he could by no meai.s be se mean as te seek te compass the de feat of Hancock, si Democratic candi date who was nominated ever him, and whose election would deprive Mr. Tilden of all hope of ever being again a presi dential candidate. He had that sub stantial aim te accomplish by Hancock's defeat, it is true, but the Democracy geneially, who once voted for Tilden se solidly, will be very far indeed from an inclination te believe that he could de se very despicable a thing. Yet there are many Democrats who have been taught by observation of Mr. Til den's character and career te doubt whether 4ie is really above the meanness ascribed te him ; and if Mr. Tilden de sires anything like unanimous Demo cratic acceid in a continued singing of iiis virtues it will behoove him te be up and striving, te show that lie was the friend and by no means the assassin of Hancock in 18S0. "We have an idea that Mr. Tilden censideis that he is in condi tion te enter himself for the next presi. dential race ; but even though he is without this ambition he will want te enjoy the unanimous esteem of the paity which once elected him te the presi dency ; and le de that he will need te bring Judge Biidsall te book en his charges. i What it Means. The Philadelphia Recerd complains that the Democratic state platform, se far as it relates te federal questions, ta equivocal and a fraud. The especial grievance of the Recerd which pi -fesses te be a revenue reform journal is the declaration en tariff and internal revenue, and its objection i3 two-fold ; first, that the Pennsylvania Democracy de net get into line with their party in ether states; and. secondly, that the de mand for the abolition of the internal revenue tax is intended te maintain or secure high tariff rates. The first of these ciiticisms i3 easily answered by pointing te the fact that the Pennsylvania Deme crats are in almost exact accord with their pirty iu Ohie and Virginia, en the tariff question, as recently expressed in the conventions of these two states. Even the Kentucky deliverance is very slightly different; the prevailing sentiment of the party in Illinois and Indiana, and probably New Yerk, is substantially the same, and the Recerd will discover that the national Democratic platform of next year en this subject will ba almost exactly that of the Democratic state convention. As te the icasen for the demand of the internal revenue tax it must be obvious te the Recerd that this is the logical aud proper way te meet the question which arises from the existing surplus of federal revenues. The record will net pretend te say that a decrease of tariif rales necessarily decreases the rev enues from that source. On the contrary, lower duties may stimulate importation and increase the revenues. As the tai iff new stand?, the income of the govern ment is greater than its needs ; the lie publican party proposes te keep up the taxes and" divide " thesurplus, division being one of its cardinal principles; the Democrats propose te abolish the need, less taxes, beginning with the most ob jectionable class. The issue made by this distinction between the parties is se clear that we cannot conceive hew our intelligent contemporary, the Recerd, can mistake it or fail te get en the right side. If the Recerd will kindly explain what the " civil service reform " i3, which it says the Pennsylvania Democrats have a " sneaking dislike " for, it might te possible te discover whether or net the Democratic platform is equivocal en that subject. There are a great many wi.se and honest people who favor genuine and deep reaching civil service reform, but see no premise of it in the Pendleton scheme. Merit the qnalify Seeded. Meyer Ed son, of New Yerk, after looking vainly around among the promi nent citizens of New Yerk te find a con troller of the city, appointed te the place the gentleman he had selected as his pri vate secretary. He appointed him be cause lie knew lie was capable ; and that was an all .sufficient reason. Yet the selection creates surprise because the appointee, whose fitnesils acknowledged, was previously unknown te the public. He bad net been prominent in politics or business ; and thereseemste be a feel ing that for a prominent office a prom inent mrui is needed. The same feeling has caused a criticism of some of President Arthur's selections for high place. But the fact is that prom inence In private life is a very unreliable and even peer qualification for impor tant public trusts. The restlessness, forwardness and noisiness which serve te attract public attention te individuals are net needed when these individuals get into the offices which they often bring them ; in fact they are hindrances te their efficiency. There may be solid merit behind them, and if se they will de themselves credit and give the public geed service. But it is batter te get the solid merit, without the glittering accompan iments, which lend it no aid ; and merit, as we all knew, is generally unpreten tious. If the chief magistrate who has offices te fill has a sufficiently geed judg ment and wide acquaintance with men, te meet the3e who will make geed offi cers and te knew them when he sees them, he can de a great deal better for the public by following his judgment than he can by looking for men te whom the public has given its esteem. The people de net get te knew men with sufficient intimacy te discover what they really are ; and for this reason they se often fail te fill their offices profitably. m There has never been any question in the minds of the Pennsylvania De mocracy and of right minded men of all parties about the propriety of the gov ernor's course in convening the extra session of the Legislature for the per formance of that constitutional duty which it had neglected at the regular session. It was incumbent upon him te de this, and, having afforded the Legislature an opportunity te de its neglected duty, all responsibility for the failure of an apportionment was trans ferred from him te that body. When it had been thus convened it was obviously the duty of the Democratic Heuse te offer te the Republican Samite every thing reasonable and fair; te insist upon no partisan advautage and take no arbitrary position. This has been done. Ne apportionments have been proposed by the Heuse which con cede less te the Republicans or ask mere for the Democrats than they are entitled te ; and since the Senate re jested all the Damesratfa bills, the Heuse has offered it the apportionments proposed respectively by Senater Stew art aud Representative Lewery, both s.aunch Republicans. Te all this fie Senate makes no ether reply than that it will stuhbeuly insist en that Stalwart gerrymander, the McCracken bill, which cheats the Democrats aud the people out of their right te fair rep resentation. This, the Republican sen aters say, is their " ultimatum." Seme of the Democrats seem te think it is net and that if insisted upon a fair appor tionment may yet be had. While there is any hope et this of course they de rignt te stay at Harnsburg and try te procure it. Whenever they shall have vainly exhausted all constitutional aud parliamentary processes te obtain it then it will be time te adjourn and save the state further expense for nothing. The Dnmecratic majority of the Heuse must be the judges of when that time has ar rived. Whenever they feel sure that the Senate will never submit te a fair ap portionment they must take the issue te the pejple ; te consent te an unfair ap portienment, simply te get one, will be net only a blunder but a crime. Axetiirk victory for Bosten cultuie. It is new i:i order for the Maeii te announce that he will swim tba Whiilpoel Rapids. Signs multiply that the Democratic pro pre gramme iu New Yerk state is one of peace and harmony. Ai'Tcn having "knocked out" the Mauri, Mr. Sullivan sbenld turn his atten tion te the Republican members of tke State Senate. It is said that the head cook at the Hetel K-iaterskill, Catskill, is paid a larger salary than the bishop of Pennsylva nia. Epieuies clai.n that he earn it. Tue genius 01 the kitchen at the Hetel Bosten, has leug enjoyed batter pay than the president of Harvard. The Heuse at Harrisburg last evening wrangled for a little while ever Hincs' pcrfei mauce in the speakci'a chair without coming te any conclusion, and then voted down a motion te adjourn en the 14th insr., three Democrats, Parcells, Whiteand Bnllett, favoring adjournment, as they have no hepe that the Republicans will ever de the decent thing iu the matter of apportionment. American commercial travelcrs are supposed te have penetrated all regions of the known glob?, and it is therefore some what surprising te learn that the United States of Columbia and Venezuela are rarely, if ever, honored with their visita tion. Oje roasea, perhaps, for the dearth of drummers in that benighted section is the suppesed neeessity of speaking the language cf sunny Spain. New that the Americau consul at theso points is author ity for the contrary, Seuth America may expect a flood of pachydermatous crafts men that will make the seventeen year locusts hang their heads iu shame. The centennial convention of the Protes tant Episcopal church in the United States will be held in Christ church, Philadelphia, in October next, and the occasion will, no doubt, be made a red-letter ene iu the gathering of prominent Anglican digni taries. That Christ church should have been selected wasr-xcecdingly appropriate : Within its wall.i the baek of common prayer, used by the American church was ratified ; at itn font was baptized Bishop White, the patriarch of the Ameri. can church, and under it chancel his ashes lepose ; and it numbered among its worskippers Washington, Franklin aud Merris. At the convention ene hundred years age, there were present only two bishops and seventeen elergymen, while new therj are sixty we bishops and about I thkty-nve hutwired clergymen within the Episcopal ceaiwiBiea. It is a fact new gen. eraDy admitte 1 that the modern tendency in religious vership is towards ritualism aad against the plainness of the old meet ing house. This, perhaps, gives founda tion for the Episcopalian assertion that in the past twenty-five years that church has made large drafts from ether Protestant sects and that the tendency te-day is strong er than ever. Its communicants de net com pare in number with the Baptists or the Methodists, but its influence en non communicants, who preler its worship, is asserted te be much greater. Hew mighty results from little causes grew is well illustrated in a few bits of unwritten history concerning the annexa tion of Texas te the United States. The republic had twice applied iu 1843 for admission te the Union, aud been twice rejected. England and France for obvious reasons were anxious that the Lene Star state should remain independent, and wheu the United States rejected her pro posals these powers intervened te forever prevent annnexatien. A treaty embracing Texas, England, France and the United States was seen projected in which the independence of Texas was the essential, feature. Beth foreign powers also prom prem ised net te interfere with slavery in the new republic. The president of Texas, Samuel Housten, en receipt of the terms of the treaty, promptly signified te his secretary of state, Ansen Jenes, his assant thereto, and instructed him te forward te Ashbel Smith, the Texa3 charge ffaffainia France, his orders te coneludo the diplo matic act en the terms proposed. Instead of se doing the secretary sent Smith a leave of absence te return te Texas. These facts are related by Smith himself in an address bafore the historical society of Galveston in 1875. There is little doubt that if the president's order had been ebsyed, the psople would have ratified the treaty, involving as it did, foreign receg nitien of Texas indopandence. The diso bedience of an official mayhap revolution ized the history of the United States. FEATURES OP THE STATE PRESS. The Philadelphia Eeening Iclegraph, the most eulogistic of Gov. Pattison's critics, loudly calls upon him te veto the judiciary apportionment bill as an unconstitutional measure. - The Yerk Age thinks disloyalty te the state administration means disloyalty te the Demoeiatic patty, and nene but the sjlfisb, envious or disappointed will criti cise the governor. The Philadelphia Ferth American, apropos the Quay-Magce disagreement, says there is no better place te bury the hatchet of effense than an the resounding shore of the restless, ever complaining sea. The Philadelphia Times will print to morrow Jeffersen Davis' answer te Judge Black's reputed exposure of " Secession Secrets " which appeared some months age. Sema "mighty intcrcstin' readin' " is premised. In the opinion of thePottsville Chronicle the referms begun at the last election im perali rely demand that the fiscal and ac counting departments of the state govern ment be brought into harmony with the executive branch. PERSONAL. Gen. Beaveii thinks the Republican state ticket will win, but net because it is better than that of last year. Judge D. C. Biudsall, of Ilaitferd proclaims himself the author of the charges that Hancock was defeated by Tilden. F. C.

THE SLUGGERS. SULMVA2 KNOCKS 81.3 DC ABOUND. Three Keand Finish the Maori" Wild snouts" or the Audience A 910,000 Shew. At the sparring match in New Yerk Mon day night the Maori proved a plaything in the bands of Sullivan. The Bosten boy knocked the half breed into an almost helpless condition mere easily than he did Mitchell. It was one of the best exhibi tions of the kind ever given. Beth men were desperately in earnest, and neither police interference nor favoritism of any one concerned in the management of the match interrupted the tide ei battle, which permitted the beat man te win. The attendance was perhaps the largest ever seen iu Madisen Square garden. Inspector Therno said there were fully 10,000 people present. As reserved seats were $2 each, boxes $25 and single admis sion $1, it is prebable that the receipts will reach $14,000. Of this Sullivan will receive G5 per cent, and Slade 35, after paying expenses, making the net te each man about $7,500 and $4,000 respec tively. It was 9:15 p. m. when a rear of ap. plause near the dressing rooms announced the appearance of the gladiators. Sulluan came first, aud lightly bounded up the steps leadins te the 24 feet, ring elevated about four feet above the general level. As he crawled through the double-round of the rope which staked the ring the ap plause became deafening. He was in the " pink" of condition aud dress, tightly fitting pink tights incased his massive legs, and a glow of health appeared ever the visible parts of his body. Pete McCoy, the veteran Joe Gess and ether lesser lights of the roped arena circled about them, and friends crowded te the cham pion's corner te shake hands with him. The Maori was reached with less demon stration, and numbers who then saw him for the first time said he'was no match for Sullivan. Slade seemed nervous and looked a little pale, but Jem Mace and two or three ethers cheered him up, and the applause of the audience seemed welcome te him. He were white tights reaching barely te the knee, and a stretch of bare leg showed between that point and the top of the white stockings. Beth men wero dark, high-laced, light leather shoes. When time was called for the first round, and the men steed facing each ether, it was noticeable that the Maori overtopped Sullivan a little in height, that his chest was as heavy, and that both shoulders and hips compared well with these of the champion, but, despite these facts, Sullivan looked like a fighter and slade did net. The half-biecd'H face was tame and geed natured, while Sullivan looked a vicious Hercules. Slade weighed 218 peuuds and Sullivan about 200. "Pep" Whittaker officiated as master of coromo ceromo coremo nies ; "Parson" Davies, of Chicago, a3 time keeper, and Barney Aaren as referee. "New, gontlemeu," said Whittaker, at 9:20 p. m., "let theie b3 no wrestling. Break away when ordered te quit." Slade's face were au anxious expression, while Sullivan's bad a contented leek. After cautious sparring for a few seconds Sullivan deliveied the first blew squarely en Slade's countenance, following it by another ou the neck, driving him into the comer. A storm of cheera greeted this performance The men after this clinched and rained blows indiscriminately at ene another en the head, face, neek and body. At the word of the referee they separated aud after a biief period of cau tieus sparring Sullivan sprang upon the Maori raining blows en him in quick suc cession, driving him backward, until Slade finally received a blew that staggered him and he dropped ou his head ou the plat form. Springing up they clinched, but the Maori broke away aad ran with his back te Sullivan toward the rope, Sullivan showering blows all ever his body neck and head. When Slade reached tlie ropes Sullivan gave him a dcxtoreus blew which knocked him between the ropes and off the platform te tue ground, head foremost- Slade picked himself up aud hurried te the platform stcp3, which he ascsnded aud clambered batween the ropes. The men faced one another again, as the three minutes had net expired and began te spar, but tima was called and each went te his seat. Slade was breath lass, but Sullivan seemed little inconve nienced. When the m:n faced each ether for the second round both exchanged blows. Sullivan's were btraight from the shoulder aud were givan with tilling cf feet. Slade's en t'ue contrary, though given en Sullivan's face and body, aaenied te have little, it any, effect. Sullivan again pressed the Maori te the ropes and knocked him down, his back striking against one ei the pests ou which the ropes wero hung. When he get up he was forced by Sullivan te the iepc3 en the op posite side, when he wa3 again knocked down en the platform. Jes Gess, ene of Sullivan's backers, during this enceuuter kept up a running shout of "Hit him in the belly, Jehn." Slade and Sullivan then retired te their corner?. The time was net up hewever, aud they sparred for a few moments, but without any result, when the time was called, and they went te their corners. It was then seen that Slade's left eye was begining te discolor aud te allappsarances be was exhausted. Sullivan seemed net te be suffering at all. Sullivan led off the third round with terrific blows in Slade's face that staggered the latter, who then clinched with bim, and after a few blew3 were exchanged Sullivan broke loose from his opponent and shewering blows all ever him. Slade replying as as best he could. Slade's face had a leek of pain and he struck feebler b!ew3 which appeared net te trouble Sullivan iu the least. The latter then went te work en the Maori and fought him at close quarters aad blew followed blew in iu such quick succession that he could net stand the terret.t and a:ain went sprawl ing ou the platform. When he lifted his head bleed poured from his nostrils. He seemed dazed aud bewildered as if uncon scious of his surroundings. Sullivan steed ever him and inspector Thern and Capr. Williams rushed en the platform te step the fight. Thi3 wa3 net necessary, as Slade showed no disposition te resume the hostilities. He was helped te hi3 corner puffing and blowing like a porpoise. Evidently he could net fae3 Sullivan for the fourth round, and his gloves were removed from his hands. Sullivan, who had also cast of his gloves, went ever te Slade and shook him by the hand. Loud applause greeted the championship Bes ten boy's victory, and friends crowded around aud shook his hand. BUB-IKO iU DKATH. Mysterious Tragedy In a Settlement of lins alana in Sen Jersey. Ne one of the horrors which occasion ally crop out in the interior of New Jersey has been mera wrapped in mystery than the cremation of a woman aud her two children last Friday night at Estellville, six miles below May's Landing, the county seat ei Atlantic county. The facts became known at the railway station at Slay's Landing thirty six hours after the tragedy had occurred. It took place in a settle ment of thirty seven families of Russian Jews, who were colonized at Estellville a year age by General Burbridge. Prem midniffht Fridav until SnrrJ-nr mnrnin. the tortures of the mother aad her daugh ter seem te have beeu hushed up among luese people. Sunday morning a group of them ap peared at the depot with a wagon, in whieh lay the woman and girl. Beth were burned almost into unconsciousness, and it was developed that the purpose of their compatriots was te take them te a Phila delphia hospital. Although none of the party would or .could .speak English, it finally transpired that en' Friday at - raid night awful shrieka had been heard from the small frame cabin occupied by the wife and children of Ivan Wiotewski. The husband had either deserted his- family or wandered away te search for work. The cabin was found in flames, the six year old boy burned te an armless, legless trunk, the mother rolling in agony in the sand and the eight year old daughter crisped te unconsciousness. The mother was a beautiful young Jew ess of twenty-eight years of age, her long black hair was singed ever her shoulders, her eyes fixed in a mad delirium. She would say nothing of the cause of the fire. The neighbors can or will give no explanation. There are Russian Jews from this colony new begging through the vicinity. One of these hints that the woman sacrificed herself, another inti mates that the neighbors were unfriendly. It seems that these people are many of them given ever te degrading superstitions. Their belief in witches closely resembles the voudeoism of the African blacks. Mrs. Wiotewski was driven te desperation by hunger and she did net make her wants known te the outside inhabitants of Estell ville, many of whom are humane and intel ligent people, that being a very old Jer sey settlement. The same terrible silence was preserved by the mother. After lying en the hard bench in the railway station for seven hours, .Sunday morning the little girl's tortured life went out. The mother was removed te the house of a man named Smith Speuce, where she lies at the point of death. AU efforts te draw from her any solution of the shadow overhanging the midnight burning seem unavailing. Gen. Burbridge is said te be the one whose refusal of a southerner's challenge in Washington about a year age excited such favorable newspaper comment. The colo nists seem shiftless and densely stupid. rOlSUNINU THIS WATER, Phases ei bin AtEasten, Penna., and Shame. en Saturday A. J. Lynn and his wife, being drunk, quarreled with the family of August Peyck, and were committed for breach of the peace. Yesterday they were served with a war rant charging them with having put nearly a pound of Paris green in a cistern which held the drinking water of the Peyck family, consisting of himself, wife and eight children. The warrant was upon information given by a neighbor. The family of Andrew Daniel, a planter of Spartanburg, Seuth Carolina, while breakfasting found "something wrong in the taste of the coffee," and it was emptied into a slop bucket. Twe dogs which drank from the bucket were thrown into convulsions. A search was made, which resulted in the discovery that a bottle of strychnine, bought te poison rats, was missing. Twe colored men and a colored heuse girl have baen arrested en suspi cieu. Benjamin Lagg, a farmer near Centre villc, Maryland, quarrelled with a oelored hand last Saturday afternoon, and being struck, as alleged, by the hand, shot him dead. At Centroville, ou Saturday even ing, May Hemier, colored, drew a pistol and killed Kate Williams, also colored, while both were dressing for a party in the latter's house. A verdict of accidental sheeting was rendered, but it is new said the girls were jealous of each ether. In au election riot at Bryantsville, Ken tucky, two colored men were killed and two ethers mortally wounded. Several ethers were severely wounded, among them two whites. MAIL. nHSCKLLANV.

Total, 900 cases. Lecal Tobacco Affelrf. Trade has been very quiet during the past week. A few small packings of old tobacco have bean sold, aggregating net mere than 200 cases. The boom in 1882 leaf has sub3ided for the present and it is net likely that there will be any marked activity in it until the crop shall be sam pled. This important branch of the busi ness will commence towards the end of this month and continue through Septem ber. A few old lets of loose '82 continue te come te some of the warehouses, but the packing has virtually ceased and tobacco packers are hard te find about town, nearly all of them being absent en their summer vacation. The fine weather of the past week has been very faverable for the growing crop. The small late plants are coming en liunly, and if they escape early frost will make a fine yield for the planter. Considerable quantities of th9 early planted patches have been cut off and show very well, the leaves being large, of a deep green color, and very free from damage by insests. Later reports from the hail cut districts are mero favorable than theso sent in im mediately after the storm. It is new that net mero than 1,000 or 1,200 acres were dam aged by the hail, and of this quantity nor mere than one-half was entirely destroyed. In many of the fields ever whieh the storm passed the plants were small and the damage correspondingly light. These fields are new growing finely, and a month hsnee will show scarcely a trace of damage. The secretary of the Lancaster county hail insurance company, of Lititz estimates the entire less of the company at about $19,000, which is being paid as rapidly as the losses can be adjusted and which will be paid in full : and unless there shall ba further losses by another storm net mero than one half of the premium notes given by policy holders will have te be paid. The Ie3S of the Yerk county hail insurance company will be from $15,000 te $18,000 and the company has an ample fund te meet all losses. We have net learned the amount of less sustained by the Chester county company, but it is net probably half as large as either of the ether companies. It is impossible te estimate with any degree of accuracy the losses of the uninsured, but they are probably mero than twice as large as the losses of the insured, making the total less from $120,000 te $150,000. This is a round sum of mosey, but is neveitheless a geed deal less than ene tenth of the value of the entirocrep of the county. OU1TUAKV. ' The Old Must Die, the Veang 3Iay Die."

HUlersvlUeMeea ita First Teat shaw. " WambeJd's Ampitheatre.Museum aud Menagerie," is tke name of a "vast aggre gation " new visiting the small towns of this county. They began their attacks at btrasburg en Saturday aud again came te the top at Millersville yesterday. Their tent, which is a small affair of nine poles, including the one in the centre, was pitched in Lintner's let. The street parade was given in the morning and the first performance at two o'clock ia the afternoon. It was the first tent &hew that Millersville had ever seen, se the audiences were large at both entertainments. The tent in which the show was given also contained the menagerie, which consisted of five cages containing a lioness, several leopards and tigers and a happy family, the latter consisting of a goat, cat and several ether domestic animals. A camel and a little elephant, with a weather-beaten leek, and no tail, filled out the living cur iosities, some of the men who sold confec tions being excluded. The organization which furnished the music for this affair was billed as " Harry Orien's Silver Cornet Band." It consisted of two violins, a oernot aud a baas horn and drum. The 'last named instrument was pounded by almost every member of the company, and nene of the musicians had any regard for musia or paid any at tention te the act for whieh they were alleged te be playing. The evening performauce began at 8 o'clock, and the company, all told, con sisted of four men, one lady, two dogs and an elephant. This is about the number required te play " Uncle Tem's Cabin," but managers who desire te produee that piece with as few poeplo as possible cau get " pointers " en " doubling up " from the management of this show. One of the men appeared en the bars, swung clubs, lifted a barrel of water, held the banner and hoops ever a horse and when last eccn was assisting te tear down the tent. There was little in the ring performance worthy of notice, but about the worst act was that with the ladder given by three alleged acrobats, iu imitation of the three Russian Athletes, who are be well known. The riding of a horse by a little deg created lets of fun acd a pony exhibited some signs of intelligence in performing tricks. The trapeze performauce by a man and bis wife was very eleven The trained elephant "Boliver' was brought into the ring by a thick necked young mau, arrayed in green tights. The awkward looking animal played en a mouth organ, but aside from that did everything but what it was told. When politely asked te stand en bis head he laid down, whereupon the trainer ended thu act by jumping upon his back, forming a beautiful pyramid of elephant and mon key. The show came te such a sudden termination that no ene knew it was ever and by half-past nine o'clock the tents were empty. The most enterprising men with thu show are the " butchers" who sell every thing en the seats. They certainly intro duced something new las,t night when they sold sliced water melons which were de livered " te any part of the pa vilien." The mau who has .sc oured the privileges with the con cern must surely be reaping a rich har vest. The workmen with the show are a very ugly looking gang. Yesterday a num. ber of them cot en a drunk and were dis charged, but hired ever. Several had their heads badly cut by a mallet iu the hands of a boss whom they had beeu abutting. Te-day the " fly-by night", will scoop down upon the citizens of Marietta. BASEBALL. The tiame This AUcn.oec Field's Club Streng.

Ansen, captain of the Chicago league nine, has always had a theory that it is very advantageous te the side at bat te have a runner at third base, believiug that it makes the pitcher mera anxious and insures the baismau better balls. In the closing gams of Chicago with Philadelphia, when in the beginning of the ninth inning the scere Htend six te one in favor of PhiLdelphia. Ansen put his theory into practice. Ou reaching third base he was given two opportunities te score whieh he rrj.'ct.d, deeming that the chances for a batting streak were greatly improved by having a tunner en third. This plan of action, of course, would net be pursued in a close game, but only when the chances are desperate. The games yesterday were : At Phila delphia : Athletie, 9 ; Baltimore, 14 ; at same city: August Flower 13; flartville, 1 ; New Yerk : Metropolitan, 7 ; Alle gheny, 3 ; Cincinnati : Cincinnati, 5 ; St. Leuis, 2 ; Columbus : Columbus, 7 ; Cleveland, G ; Harrisburg : Harrisburg. 6; Quickstep, 3 ; Pottsville : Anthracite, 12 ; Trenten, 2 ; Reading : Brooklyn, 2 ; Active, 0 ; Washington, D. C. National, 3; Hunter of Pittsburir. 4: Altoena: New Yerk, 14 ; Alteena, 1 ; Erie : ButTale, 21 ; Erie, 6 ; Atlantic City : Housten, of Ches ter, 3 ; Atlantic City, 1 ; Millviile, N. J. : Millville, 8 ; Mantua, of Philadelphia, 2. Baseball sharps are agitating the idea of adopting a new rule by which the number of bases made in a game shall count in tead of the number of run3.
