Some Interesting Ball Gaines Among the
Association Teams.
GENERAL BP0ET1KGNEWS OP THE DAI
One of those ball games that disgusts
cranks and makes everybody in general
weary was played yesterday afternoon, at
Recreation Park, between tbe Pittsburg
and Toronto dabs. Tbe "visitors -were shut
oat, and when that is said almost all
interest is taken out of the contest. How
ever, Horace and his men may compare
with the big people of the League the fapt
remains that rach aggregations as Toronto
are just as palatable as strawberry jam to
onr sluggers. Toronto is really so far be
hind the Pittsburgs in playing abilities
that a contest between the teams is not
worth seeing.
The attendance was poor, not more than
350 being present The playing, generally
speaking, was of a poor kind. The decis
ions of Umpire Aborgast gave much offense
to the visitors, so much so that they refused
to contribute their share of his fee.
wouldn't pat theie shabe.
Manager Phillips and Secretary Scan
drett each tried to induce the manager of
tbe Torontos to pay, bnt he claimed that he
had not been consulted about his engage
ment and, therefore, didn't think he was
compelled to pay. The debt, for such it is,
remains unpaid and its existence is not
creditable to the Canadians.
One of the features of the game was the
good showing of Allen at short. In the
second inning he got bold of a terrific
bounder from Grimm's bat, throwing the
runner out at first in a way that was purely
first-class. Several times lie made brilliant
efforts, and it is safe to say that he is of that
kind of material from which first-class men
spring. President Nimick and Manager
Phillips watched his work with delight.
Little Nichols also showed up well, both in
the field and on the bases.
Morris pitched three innings and com
plained of a sore arm. Galvin then went
in. Morris didn't show any speed worthy
the name. The probability is that if he had
been retained in the box he would have
been thumped all over the lot. Galvin was
hit quite frequently, but the old man kept
the hits so well scattered that they were of
little or no use.
COTJI.D-'T MAKE A BUN.
In tbe sixth inning the first three men
each made a corking single, but not one of
them scored. One man was nabbed at the
plate and "Jeems" trapped another at first.
The fielding of the visitors was bad and
Vickroy. their pitcher, was exceedingly
wild. He was well supported by Grimm.
The entire team, however, didn't seem to
care whether they played or not.
In the second iuning there were nine men
at bat and only fou. rnns scored. Dnnlap
led off and went to first on being hit by a
pitched ball. Coleman got to first on the
sacrifice of Dnnlap. Burke muSed Nich
ols' fly, and Coleman scored Nichols also
reaching home on a muffed throw by Grimm.
Knehne went out on a fly to McMillan, and
Allen made a scratch hit. Morris followed
with a good single and Sunday went to first
on balls. .Fields cracked out a good single,
Morris and Allen scoring. A wild pitch,
two errors and a single netted two more runs
in the fourth, and two bases on balls, a sin
gle and an out gained another in the fifth.

Browns again walloped the Cincinnati to-day,
in the second game of the series. The -game
abounded in lively batting, but the Browns
were more fortunate in placing their hits, and
they played a better game all around than the

The Herron BUI Club Opens Its Brunot's
Island Grounds.
The splendid new grounds of the Herron Hill
Gun Club, at Brunot's Island, were inaugurated
yesterday. The attendance of shooters and
spectators was large, and probably a more suc
cessful day's shooting has never been known
here. The weather was excellent, and the con
tests close and exciting. Tbe grounds were pro
nounced to be among tbe best in America. Al
Bandle, the famous Cincinnati shot, was pres
ent and shot in first-class style. There were
two matches at the Bandle day birds. They

A sNOYEL EEEPSISiC ' '
An Automatic Railway for the Transporta
tion of Mnll and Express Matter.
Latjbel, Md., April 18,-The Baltimore
Automatio Transit Company is conducting
a series of experiment which the officers of
the company believe will bring .about a
revolution in the transportation of express,
mail and lighter freight. The company has
constructed here a circular track, two mile
in circuit, upon which its experiments are
conducted. The system: of propulsion is
much the same as on the ordinary electric
railway. The Edison dynamo and the
Spraeue motor are employed. The over
bead rail is the main feature in the system,
a double flanged wheel on tbe carand motor
catching upon it when the train is in mo
tion. The idea is to have stations, 25 miles or
more apart, supplied with dynamos of suffi
cient power to furnish electric force enough
to drive the train for a round trip. The
company have been working lor over a year
past getting the experimental.plantready,
and have made several trials of the system,
which tentatively were quite satisfactory, a
surprising speed being attained, xne pro.
jectors of this enterprise expect to work
such air volution in the carrying of mails
and packages one may sit down to breakfast
in Atlanta or Chicago and read the Balti
more and New York papers of the same'
morning.
Tbe practicability of the scheme has been
passed upon by Prof.W. C, Bowland, of the
Johns Hopkins University, and Thomas A.
Edison, tbe latter of whom is said to have
declared it to be the greatest conception
since tbe telegraph.
ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.
The Subtle Current Net to be Relied on for
Predictlna-'the Weather.
Washington, April 18. Among the
papers read before the National Academy
of Sciences to-day was one by Prof...!. C.
Mendenhall, President of Rose Polytechnic
School, Terre Haute, Ind., giving the re
sult of recent researches into atmospheric
electricity. These researches, which have
been condnntpd hv Prof. Mendenhall for
several years, were begun wheu he
was connected with the signal serv
ice, and continued since his separ
ation therefrom under the direction ot the
chief signal officer. The idea was to deter
mine whether or not there was anything in
the phenomenon of atmospheric electricity
that could be utilized in making more cer
tain the prognostications of the weather
bureau.
Prof. Mendenhall reports, as a result of
his investigation, many interesting facts,
but none of them of a practical benefit to
the signal service. The noticeable elec
trical phenomena are contemporaneous with
tb,e duration of storms, and valueless in tbe
line of predictions. Prof. Mendenhall will
present a popular form of the subject Satur
day afternoon in the regular course of lec
tures at the Smithsonian Institution.
DIED FEOM A DOG BITE.

rSrXCIALTXLXQBAlC TO TBI DISPATCH.!
lALLBrvEB, Hass., April 18. Will
iam T. Heekin died of hydrophobia, to-day,
from the effects of a dog bite March 17.
This is.the fourth death from that disease in
Fall Biver in eight months On the 17th
of March the boy, who is only 9 years old,
was bitten by a dog, while trying to Bare his,
cat. Tbe wound soon healed, and no evil
effects were noticed until last Thursday,
when he complained of a severe headache,
which continued until Sunday. Then it
was discovered that he could not swallow
water.
None of the more violent symptoms of
hydrophbia were manifested. The spasms
occurred when he was offered food or drink,
then his throat contracted. No chloroform
or ether was given the patient. The child's
pulse was 90, Monday morning, increased
to 120 Monday noon, was 140 at 9 A. M.,
Tuesday, at 6 P. m., Tuesday, it was 160 and
at 9 p. m., the doctor could not count it.
Death came about midnight, Tuesday.
HO ONE TO BLAME.
So the Coroner Decides In the Case of tbe
Dayton Shooting.
Dattok, April 18. The Coroner of
Miami county .renders a verdict that the
killing of Dora Webster by her cousin
Joseph Heath was purely accidental.
Previous to the indiscriminate handling of
the revolver by the party of young people,
Clinton, brother of Dora, had in the presence
of all removed all cartridges from the cylin
der. Then iollowed playful snapping of the
weapon at each oher. During this time
Clinton Webster, without the knowledge of
any one else, slipped one cartridge back in
to the revolver.
While Joseph Heath and Dora Webster
was struggling for possesion of the weapon
it was discharged, the ball entering Dora's
brain and killing her. The Coroner
concludes that while the parties may be
exonerated from direct violation of the law,
the fact remains that a precious life was
lost by .recklessness that was almost crim.

CoimxiVLSvXtVLs April 18. The Cour
ier review of the coke trade will say to-morrow:
The coke trade is in grave danger of
demoralization. With the gradual shrink
age of demand and the waning prospects of
any improvement this summer, some small
operators and furnace firms are blowing out,
and the number of idle ovens now aggre
gate one-fourth the total of the Tegion.
Continued overproduction and the conse
quent keen competition for orders have re
sulted in a cutting of rates that promises to
end in another era of 90-cent coke, with all
its attendant evils for both the operators and
employes The break began last month, and
after having beaten quotations down 10 cents
per ton, took a breathing spelb A renewal of
the fight was predicted in our last review. It
ha arrived here promptly.
Tbe Courier was shown two letters from coke
consumers in St Louis, dated a few days ago.
stating that the writers bad been offered coko
at tl per ton, demanding that this cnt be met
at once. It will, no doubt, be met and when It
Istbere will be another attempt to reduce
wacesinhe region. The operation of the 77
coke plants of the Connellsville region for the
week ending on Saturday last Shows 10,894 of
the 13,265 completed ovens in blast and 2.371
idle, against 11,280 active and "1,886 idle the
previous week.
As noted above there does not seem to be any
fixed price for coke, but quotations are made
as follows: Furnace coke, II OS; to dealers,

quiries of several persons, who were presumed
to know, as to thetinte McCausland was ex
pected to return to Greene county, and that he
was informed by one witness that he would re
turn on Saturday morning's boa;.
McCausland had left Daniel Stephenson's,
with whom he stopped a few days before, taking
a load of cattle to tbe river, whence he shipped
them by boat tovittsburg. It was his custom
to return on Wednesday morning, and this was
the time be was expected to appear again in
Greene county, which was September 7, 1887.
He did not return on that day. however, and
tbe inquiries made by the defendant were after
tbe time fcr his expected arrival bad passed.
These inquiries, together with other suspicious
actions of the defendant, constitute the
grounds npon which the tbe. charge is made
against him.

A EAILROAD DEAL .
The Allegation That Carnegfe Will BoHd
a Competing Line From the Lake
Backed Cpby Some Interesting De
talls. The publication in this paper yesterday
that the Valley (Ohio) Railroad stockhold
ers had elected new directors and that one
of them was Andrew Carnegie, caused con
siderable talk in this city yesterday. Peo
ple began to think, that Mr. Carnegie means
something more than mere newspaper talk,
in procuring anew route for iron ore trans
portation irom the lakes to Pittsburg.
He had complained bitterly "of
discrimination against ore consumers in
Pittsburg by the existing railroads from
the lakes. The road is about nine miles in
length and extends from Cleveland to Val
ley Junction, near Akron. It is believed
that a scheme is on foot to run the road into
Pittsburg, as a competitor of the Cleveland
and Pittsbnrtr Bailroad.
Mr. Carnegie is absent from the city andJ
nis partner, Mr. uenrr .rnipps, jr., was
seen last night in regard to the matter; He
simply said heknew nothing about the trans
action, and that Mr, Carnegie only could
tell positively whether he was interested in
an enterprise to build a competing road
from Cleveland to Pittsburg.
In yesterday's issue of the Cleveland
Leader appeared the following:
Tbe result of the election of directors at the
annual meeting of the itockholders of the Valley
Railway yesterday clearly Indicates that the deal
by which the property Is to be tranferrd to An
drew earnests and hi Mew York yndlcite baa
been consummated. A stated In tbo Ltcusff two
-months apro and reiterated yesterday, the new
owners were nut ready to show their hands by fill
ing up the directory with irstnbersof the syndi
cate because of negotiations pending with other
corporation whereby a right of way will be ob
tained Into- Pittsburg for the proposed throueh
line. Hence It was that the new director elected
are Cleveland men, not heavy stockholders, but
representatives of the party In- power. The
Board of Director now consists of J. H. Wade,
il.B. Payne. S. T.Kverett.l..C.HIggln, l).L.KIng.
L. V Bocktus, J.H. Wade, dr.. Andrew Squire,
and W. S. Jones. The three last named are the
new directors. By the election yesterday Mr. J.
H.Wade controls the board. Mr. J. H. Wade and
Mr. S. T. Everett made the deal with the Carnegie
syndicate ana Mr. S. T. Everett's check paid 25
per cent or the purchase price for the control of
me road to Insure the formal transfer of tbe stock
in the near future. Mr. Everettl a grandson by
marriage of Mr. J. H.Wade. Mr. J. fa. Wade,
Jr., of Mew York, Is a grandson of the president
of the road. Andrew Squire, Esq., lsthe attorney
who, on behalf of tbe company, looked after the
legal question arising during the course of the
negotiations. Mr. Jones Is connected with Mr.
Wade'.
It is probable that other directors, perhaps all
of them, are favorable to the transfer of the prop
erty to the Carnegie syndicate, but If they are not
Mr. Wade and his friends -will be able to operato
the road If the deal should -fall tbrongb and to sell
It to other parties If they should to desire. Tbe
slate for officers bas been prepared and at the
meeting ofthe director of the old officers. Presi
dent J. H.Wade, Vice President D.L. King, of
Akron, Treasurer 8. T. ETerett, Secretary W. B.
Porter, and General Manager William Tbornbnrg
will be re-elected.
"I will give you a ride to Pittsburg over tbe best
road from Cleveland and In the finest
coaches within a very short time," aald
a director or tbe Valley Boad to a Zeader
reporter yesterday, "twill admit now that tbe
Leader bas In the matn published the correct de
tails of the deal.. I don't know where you got
your racts but you got them. The deal Is allrlght
and there is no doubt that It will be consummated
Just as-the Leadtrhis maintained from the start."
Another director stated that the Valley line to
Pittsburg would be by way of Bcrgholz. A gen
tleman who was in town yesterday said that Mr.
Carnegie purchased land In Pittsburg only last
week for the right of way Into that city. The
South I'enn line to the seaboard will be the east
ern outlet lor the Valley, and a western line may
branch off at Canton. Mr. Carnegie, while In
Harrlsburg a few days ago, admitted that be was
Interested In tbe South Penn to the extent of
p, 500, 000, and he recently addressed tbePennyl
vania Legislature upon the abandonment or that
unfortunate enterprise.
There were wild rumors of all sort concerning
the deal yesterday, and a Leader reporter ran
down some of them by interviewing Mr. S. T.
Everett. "It is said that you and your family
will go abroad for at least a year," suggested the
reporter. "Is the rumor true?"
"Kotawordaftruthlnlt. Where did that ri
diculous story come from?"
"1 don't know. It Is said also that the Cam e
gles have backed down and that you are going to
negotiate with a syndicate In Holland for the sale
of the Valley roadi"
"If a He."
"And you will not leave us?"
"I'll stay with you."
"How Is the deal getting along?"
"If all right."
"It Is not on; then?"
-Not a bit of It. Everythlngjrillbefixedlna
very short time."
A director says that the Valley will go to PltU
burg by wayiof Bergholz?" suggested the young
man.
"I'd like to get a bold on that director, " said
the Treasurer and chief negotiator, with a slight
frown. -
This all shows that Mr. Carnegie was not elected
a director, but Intimates that his friends were.
