The American ball players did not attract as much attention here as at Glasgow, dining cars not being such a cariosity here, bat several thousand people visited the station daring the day to see the handsome special train and the celebrated athletes. The weather was the brightest yet enjoyed in England. The sun shone pleasantly and the air was brisk. The ball players were extremely anxious to make a good im pression here, as it is one of the foremost cricketing sections of England. Tbey played on the old Trafford cricket ground and de clared it the finest in England. Tbe ground was favorable for sliding to bases, being smoothed level. A very large attendance was expected, and there was some surprise that it only numbered about 2,500. Both clubs were anxious to win, I. and the battle proved to be one of J THE MOST EXCITING GAMES played on the trip. All America took quite a commanding lead in the first three innings, the score standing 5 to a In the following three Chicago did some good batting and tied the score. Tbe All Americas again took the lead in the eighth. The ninth inning was very ex citing, and the spectators seemed to be im Dressed with tbe situation. Tbe Chlcagoshad two out and Pettit on third. Anson popped up a fly which Crane muffed, and Pettit scored the tielng run. Pfcffer was hit by pitched ball, with two men on bases. Tenermadea terrific bit to left, which seemed to be sailing over Fogarty's head. He made a great run and a splendid catch that provoked prolonged cheers. The All Americas had the last Innings. Hanlon led off with a base hit, stole second and SCORED THE TTOrNCJG BITS' amid applause. The'f eatures of the came were the brilliant catches by Fogarty, Daly and Wood, Ryan's three-bagger and the base run ning of Hanlon, Manning and Fogarty. Of the seven errors made by tbe All Americas, four were made- by Crane at shqrt, whose hands seemed stiff with the cold. Here is tbe score by innings: All Americas 3 20000011 7 Chlcajcos 0 0012200 16 Vase hits Eight each, irrors Chtcagos, 4; All Americas, 7. Early in the evening the teams were dined at the Anglo-French Club by Raymond T. Eddy, representing J. V. Farwell & Co., of Chicago. Covers were laid for 75, including 40 members of the club. Among the guests were United States Consul Hale and ex-Consul Newton Crane. The dinner was splendid, and the menus prettily decorated with cuts of baseball scenes. Toasts to the Queen, Presidents Har rison and Carnot were drank with short speeches and great enthusiasm. At the -close of the banquet the entire party attended the Comedy Tbeater upon the invitation of Miss Annie Vivian, who had a benefit. She is pre miere, and in the pantomime of "Aladdin" danced in a costume of American flags, to the tune of Yankee Doodle and other American airs, and was heartily cheered. Tbe teams leave for Liverpool in the morning, and end the tour of England in the afternoon. The All Americas are now five games ahead, and cannot lose tbeir lead, as only three more games are to be played. PANCOAST DISABLED. The Famon and Cosily Stallion Becomes Completely Paralyzed. ryrECIAL TELlGIUUC TO TBI DISrATCB.l Locisviixe, March 22. Information has been received from the Parkrille farm, on Long Island, that the celebrated stallion Pan coast has been permanently crippled and his usefulness destroyed. Something les than a year ago he was struck by lightning while standing in bis stall. One side of bis body was deadened by the shock, and be had no control of the muscles of his face; It was thought at the time that careful nursing would eventually bring the great trot ter around all right, and for a time it appeared as if he were getting better. Recently, howev er, paralysis has set in, and his case is consid ered hopeless. A message received in this city yesterday announced that Pancoast was prac tically dead, since he would never be able to use himself again. Pancoast was purchased in 1SS7 from J. C.

The members of the new clnb state that they do not intend to do anything antagonistic to the old club. Application will be made for admission to the American Kennel Club.

AN IMPORTANT CHALLENGE. Carey Will Match Janeraont Against Any Son of Grand Sentinel. The- following Important challenge appears In this week's Issue of tbe Horseman: A short time since my attention was called to a communication signed by S. A. Browne, of Kalamazoo, wherein he states that a son of Grand Sentinel can beat any stallion in Michl gan. While I admire Mr. Browne's pluck and enterprise, and have a high opinion of his judg ment in horse matters, I nevertheless believe that in this particular statement he has made an error! I have delayed replying to the arti cle referred to in tbe hope that some other owner of the many fast stallions in this State would respond, as I felt that there were other owners, nerhaps more prominent, who would undertake to decide the point which Mr. Browne has raised, but as no one else has done so, and believing that I have a faster stallion than any son of Grand Sentinel, and in the most friendly spirit toward Mr. Browne and the interests he represents. I desire to hereby noti fy him that I will match my 6-year-old stallion Junemont, 2:18 against any entire son of Grand Sentinel lor any reasonable sum, say from 1,000 to J3.000, a race of mile heats, three in five, to be trotted over Detroit or Chicago tracks during the months of July. August or September, 1SS9, provided Mr. Browne shall signify hisacceptance of this proposition within 30 days from this date. J OHN Cabet. BASEBALL IN FLORIDA." The Philadelphia!

Pratt, of this city. Mr. Spalding, in hialetter, gives some interesting information about the teams now abroad. He says that Ward will certainly play in all the American games, and that the balance of the players will remain together until the pro gramme is carried out. Following is a correct schedule of the games arranged: April 8. New York; 9,J5rooklyn;10, Baltimore; 12.

Tbe teams will leave Queenstown on March 28 on the Adriatic of the White Star line of steamers. Tbey are ex pected to arrive in New York on April 6. THE COLONELS SOMEWHAT SLOW. Ulnny of Them Fall to Report for Duty on Time. Louisyillx, Kt., March 22. Though all the ball players were notified to be here yesterday, Ewing, Vaughan, Stratton, Easterbook, Shan non and Raymond failed to put in an appear ance, and as yet have not materialized. Why they have not yet arrived it cannot be told; still, they are expected on every incoming train. Stratton still demands $1,800 and no Sunday games, and President Davidson is just as firm against granting it. Browning has not signed vet nor reported for practice, and has been notified that he must practice at least two weeks before he can draw pay. Hoffman, Kan sas City's pitcher, is here practicing with the boys, and is showing up finely. All preliminary practice by the Louisville team will be bad In the open field. Advice to Horse Breeders. Here are some well-taken points from a prom Inent Englishman's lecture on horse breeding: "I have always held that a stallion .ought not to be in show condition at tbe end of the sea son. It is detrimental to;the constitution and procreative powers of the stallion to be fed up like a fat bullock in early spring, for it is sel dom such an animal gets many foals for the first five or six weeks. Let any breeder put a number of mares to such a horse which is daily losing flesh, and an equal number to a stallion that has been worked in tbe team. The latter will not only leave his mares in foa! from the first, but will thnve and improve, and he is In better condition at tbe end of the season than at the commencement, and the chances are he will leave 30 per cent more foals, and, given that the animals are equally well bred, tbe stock of tbe latter will come with more mus cular power and hardier constitutions. If this be the case with the earlier date, I hold it to be a suicidal policy to continue tbe overfeeding during the season for tbe sake of winning a prize at tbe summer shows." Clara Bell Leads. East Liverpool, o., March 22 The three days' female walking match opened up last night in tbe Fifth street rink. There were seven starters. The score at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon was: Clara Bell, 61 miles; Nora Evans, 69 miles; Lulu Zillette, EI miles; Aggie Harvey, 49 miles; Mamie Wood. 43 miles; Jen nie Ranson, 33 miles; Alice Robeson, 32 miles. All tbe walkers are from Pittsburg except Evans, who comes from Beaver Falls. The race is for the championship of Eastern Ohio and prizes as follows: First, 75; second, ScO, and third. $25. Considerable betting is going on, and Bell and Harvey are the favorites. May Go to Mexico. It may be that the Pittsburg team will make a tour through Mexico next fall. A well known patron of tbe club has recently traveled through that country and is enthusiastic about tbe good financial prospects of a Mexican trip. He has mentioned the notion of such a tour to President Nimick. and the latter seems to think well of it. There are numerous large cities that could be visited and the gentleman referred to says that baseball would be a great attraction. Shortstop Allen Arrives. Allen, the new local shortstop, arrived in the city yesterday. This is his first, visit to Pitts burg, and he likes the appearance of tbe city. He is a fine-looking young man and well built. He talks very intelligently. During a conversa tion last evening, he said that he expects to do well. He is anxions to develop into a first class player, and be is willing to take tne ad vice of experienced men. Big Enough to Win. Al Pratt visited Homestead .yesterday and measured tbe players of the ball team there for new uniforms. Tbe latter will be granite gray with navy bine belts and stockings.

The Dnrfee and Pocassett Mills reported yesterday a larger number of looms running than any time since the Fall River strike, but at tbe other mills the situation remains the same, and tbe number running does not affect tbe strike.

Tbe Lord Mayor of London is doing a good work in assisting poor and deserving people to go to Paris during the coming exhibition and to have a look at tbe fair capital of France. He is collecting money for this purpose and Is aided by a number of gentlemen. The Mayor himself has contributed largely to the scheme, which is very popular among the worklngmen.

Her offense was in saying to his demand for dinner that there was no food in the bouse, as she had not received pay for the last work she had done. More railroad schemes are on foot in West Virginia now than for ten years past. Major Brown, of the Kanawha Valley, Intimates that $12,000,000 will be spent on West Virginia rail roads within tbe next 18 montbs. Among the new roads to be built is an extension of the Norfolk and Western through the southern counties of the State to the Ohio river, which will be bridged at Credo, and tbe road contin ued to Ironton, O., where there are several western outlets. This road will be begun in 30 days, with 2.000 men at work. Bonds to the amount of $6,000,000 have been sold. Tbe road will be 160 miles long, and save 600 miles in get ting West Virginia coal and Iron to the west. The region made famous by the Hatfield-Mc-Coy troubles will be crossed by this road. AKE THE DETAILS PETTI? The Commissioners Give the Roads Minor Instructions. According to the recent changes in the inter-State law the railroads are required to post two schedules of rates tor both freight and passengers. Judge Cooley, in a circular letter, sug gests that a small desk be placed against the wall in every depot, on which the rates for the information ot passengers can be kept. The clerks are specifically warned to add, from time to time, all the changes made in the tariffs. In addition the law now gives the author ity to the Commissioners to dictate how the tariffs shall be prepared. Railroad men are beginning to think that the commission is descending to details too petty in their nature for such an august body, A TENEMENT TO COME DOWN.

CLOSE TO POLYGAMY Is the Offense Alleged Against Pretty Young Mrs. Simon. SHE IS CHARGED WITH BIGAMY, Bat a Friend to Whom Elopement is Familiar May Extend It. SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HER PLIGHT A pretty little German woman was brought to jail last night by constable from Alderman Donghty's office, charged with bigamy, the charges being made by Albert Simon, son of "Vincent Simon, of 3350 Penn avenue. The, woman's correct name would be hard to tell, as she is charged with so much bigamy. Mrs. Simon, or Schwinde, came to this city from Germany about nine months ago, and soon secured employment at the restau rant of Vincent Simon, She could not speak a word of English, but represented to Mr. Simon that she was single, and by her winning ways and ability to do everything that came along in the way of work, won her way into the elder Simon's heart to such an extent that, being a widower, he pro posed marriage to her. Ho was accepted, and the pair went to Philadelphia in Jan uary and were married. Since then they have led a hapny life, apparently, until, within the past few days, domestic troubles began to arise which were not lessened Jany by the intelligence that came to Mr. Simon's son to the effect that the young stepmother had -another husband alive and well in Germany. Acting on this intelligence, he entered the suit men tioned above. It is alleged that Mrs. Schwinde not only has a husband in Germany," but that she eloped from him with another man, who paid her passage to this country and lived with her until she secured employment at Mr. Simon's restaurant. She could not be made to understand her position last night, and seemed to regard the jail as a sort of hotel, for she was very particular to inquire what sort of a room she was to have in the building. The case will come up for a hearing be fore Alderman Dougherty next "Wednesday, and the defendant is held in the meantime without bail. 0NLI THE BIDDERS' NAMES Aro Given Ont by the Board of Awards, When It Adjourns.

Of Coal Diggers Slay be Held Next Month to Arrange a Wage Bcale. A delegate contention of the newly con structed division of N. D. A. 135, EL of L., composed of the railroad miners of "Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, was held yesterday in Knights of Labor Hall, on "Wood street. Master "Workman Paxon presided, and delegates were present from 18 local assemblies, representing 60 mines. The object of the meeting was to consider the wage question, the offer of the diggers to continue work at the present scale having been rejected by the operators at the Colum bus Convention. It was thought that a strike would be ordered, but the delegates were inclined to make another attempt to settle the question, as the following resolu tions adopted will show: Whereas. It is agreeable to, the purposes of the K. of L. to settle wage scales by reasonable and conciliatory methods, and Whereas, We deprecate the prospect of a return to the barbarous method of strikes, especially against those employers who have shown a disposition lately to co-operate with the miners in the maintenance of equitable prices, for the mutual interests of themselves and their workmen, and Whereas, We do not believe tbat tbe miners and operators are incapable of adjusting all disputes by peaceable and common sense meth ods, therefore Resolved. Tbat we urge upon the national officers of ,N. D. A. 135, K. of L., to invite tbe employers of all competing districts to unite in a call for a national scale conference, to be held on or about April 9 prox. Resolved, Tbat all miners, organized and unorganized, be requested to meet and elect delegates to a conference, and that they be in structed to elect four delegates from each Stato with full power to negotiate with an equal number of tbe operators, and construct a scale that will give the workmen tbe best compensation tbat tbe coal trade will justify, to prevail for one year, beginning May 1, 1S89. MUST THEY CUT WAGES? Coke Operators Cannot Ran Their Ovens at the Present Prices. It is believed that the 1st of April will see a general redaction in the wages ot the coke workers, throughout the entire region, instead of a strike on their part for higher wages. About the best-price obtainable this month for coke is 51 33 per ton for foundries and $1 20 per ton for furnaces, while it is asserted that a large coke-firm is quoting to consumers at $1 10 per ton for lurnaces, and small orders are being filled at this price. The men at Bainey's works are reported to bave had their wages re duced this week, and other operators say that at suclTprices, with bids tor April de liveries coming in at lower figures, they cannot run and pay the present wages. Almost all the works in the region are running four days a week. The Stewart Iron Company's Beeson works are idle, the men having been locked ont by the company for tbe past two months in an effort to rid themselves of obnoxious workmen. "Writs are now in the hands of the Sheriff for their eviction and it is likely some action will be shortly attempted by the company. They are buying coke to ran their furnaces at Sharon, Pa., and it is understood that they are anxious to start up, bat at a redaction of wages. The men are reported to be as anxious to get back to work as the com pany is to begin running again. A TOLUNTAET ADTANCE. Some of Carnegie's Workers to Receive More Woge Next Month.
