The Chicago sn3 Pittsburg teams playeda veryeven gamo to-- day, the visitors n inning in the last inning bystrong batting. Staley pitched a -wonderful gameand his fielding was very clever. The Chicagos scored ia the first inniug on Evan's double and a single by VwiHal- 'tren. .Pfefler opened the second with a terrific drive for two bases to right, but was caught at the plate a few moments later by a splen did bit of fielding by Sunday, who "bandied Flint's hard single to right. Pfelfer made a three-bagger in the third but wa's doubled up with Farrell on the latter's line drive to Stalev. After the third inning the Chicago's did riot get a man past second baje until the ninth, when Duff scored on his hit, which retired VanHaltien, and Carroll's juggle of Anson's lone drive to left The visitors conld do nothing with Krock until the fifth in ning, when Fop Smith lifted the spUere over the Congress street wall for a home run. This tied the score. WAXTNO "WITH A. TTM. Then the boys in the yellow caps took heart and began to play with a ran that made the crowd cheer. Becklcy opened the sixth with a safe hit, and stole second in a cloud of dust, Dnnlap and Carroll were retired, but little Miller got his base on balls. Knehne made a vicious effort to break the tie, but his steaming red-hot liner was pulled do-fro by Ryan, and the side went out. Pop Smith got in anotheT safe swipe in the. seventh, but lie was forced out at second by Staley. Sunday and Hanlon went out in order. Dnnlap got away around to the third in the. eighth inning on a double-barreled error by Ryan and Carroll's sacnlice. Miller, however, failed to bring the runne r in. The More stood 2 to 1 In favor of Chicago when the visitors came to the bat in the ninth. "Vc want two runs," yelled Miller in a hoarse and offensive voice. Emperor William Kuchne was the hrst man at t he bat. He caught the. ball on the ground floor and tore the shingles off. It went over the "ence. and the fat man from the Monongahela loped around tho dia mond amid tnmultuou j yelling. Smith struck .out. Staley hit for rt base, and then Sunday cracked one of Krock' 8 Gotlieb Hohenhanser pretzel curves pretty nearly to the clubhouse. The sprinter got two bases on this hit, and Staley went to third. AS EXCrjTXCf CEIS1S. The crisis was so great that men sweat and got up on their seats. Eanlon popped up a short fly to left. YanHaltren started after the ball, but slipped. H e recovered himself, how ever, and made another dash for the ball. Far rell was running, too, and just as the ball was in reaching distance the fielders collided and both went down. Farrell caught the ball, but before he could get upon his feet Staley had crossed the plate with the winning run.

Colonel Sam started two horses at the Pimllco races to-day. Brown Charlie and Cortez. Brown Charlie ran a very creditable race, but only finished third. He and Sam Harper made the race hot until the stretch was reached, when ex-Governor Bowles Belle Dorr came up with a rush and beat both at me wire in tne Dest time yet made East this season. Cortez started in the Vernal sweepstakes, and he beat his field horses so easy that horsemen say it was not a good gallop for him. He was well backed in all the poolrooms in the country. Cortez promises to be one of the best 3-year-olds in training, and unless he should go amiss, will show his heels to some of Dwyers' and Withers' crack S-year-olds in some of the big stakes at Brooklyn the latter part of this month. He is a big chestnut, by King Alf onso-Invercauld, and as fine a look ing colt as there is at this track. Considerable dissatisfaction was found at Wyndom Waldon's action by tho bookmakers to-day. Mr. Waldon gave it out that Little field would ride Mucilage in the Claybaugh Memorial stakes, and it Is said bis friends auietlv backed Homeonathv. his nlhpr starto,. Just before the race Littlefield was substituted for Rlfleshine, but the guileless public had al ready placed their money on Mucilage. As soon as they discovered the shift of the jockeys Homeopathy suddenly became a hot favorite, the public backing the filly to save thelrmoney, but as sometimes the best laid plans go wrong, both Wyndom's friends and the public came to grief in this instance. Tom Finley, the out sider in theTace. and Father Daly's Mamie B were runnm; neck and neck in the stretch. when Littlefield undertook to bring Homeopathy through with a rush.

Tho weather is fide and the track in excellent condition. There has been no rain for a week and the sprinklers must be used freely. For the first time in the history of rac ing here, there were no pools sold to-night on the races, but this was merely a concession by the Louisville poolrooms to the jockey club management who will sell at the track to morrow and will probably open a place to sell in the city. The Derby remains an open race. Proctor Knott is in noble form, and by many the race is conceded to him. But there are strong 3-year-olds to contest and when he wins, If win he does, it will be the greatest race by the greatest race horse on the American turf. Come-to-Taw will not start, and it is donhtfni if Castaway does.

When the bill came back from the Senate to-day with the amendments in which the House was asked to concur, Mr. Kauffman, of Xancaster; Mr. Lytle, of Huntingdon, Captain Billingsley, of Washington, op posed concurrence, and the bill iras sent to a conference committee.

This morning the House confirmed the work of yesterday's Democratic and Bepublican caucuses by elect'ing Messrs. Taggart and Wherry mem bers of the new Revenue Commission. Later Mr. Wherry voted for the Y. M. C. A. incor poration bill and thereby angered the Cajholic members, for the reason that the bill provides that Y. M. C. A. trustees must be Protestants. This afternoon Captain Hassett moved to re consider the vote by which the Commissioners were elected, and In doing so made a bitter at tack on Mr. Wherry. He wanted Mr. Wherry put on tne commisslonnrst because he had said on the floor of the House he was against it and had opposed it; and, second, because in his opinion Mr. Wherry is not a Democrat Captain Skinner won the applause of the House by his earnest defense of Mr. Wherry, in which ho spoke'in the highest terms of praise of that gentleman's ability.

The vote against Captain Hassett's motion was practically unanimous.

TALES OF CEUELTT Reach PhllndelphlaFrom theChesterSprlngs Orphan School. Phcadblphia, May 8. Although Chester Springs Orphans' School has been under new management since Christmas last it has by no means been purged of its imperfections. Corporal punishment is less frequent than it was six months ago, but the vigor of its execution makes up for what is lacked in frequency. One of the most fla grant acts ot injustice occurred recently, when a large body of pupils were punished for the fault of the few. The chastisement was administered by a strong youth with a hickory stick soaked in water. In addition to this punishment they were compelled to sorub the sitting room floor every night for two weeks after the other boys had retired. At the same time another lad was given a merciless thrashing for pilfering two pos tage stamps from one of the teachers' rooms. Visitors to the school hare been much moved by the sight of a little girl 13 years old, who is suffering from a loathsome blood disease, which appears in horrible form upon her face and limbs. During the winter she was for a great part of the time kept in a room by herself, which no one but the nurse was allowed to enter save on rare occasions. Several weeks ago tie nurse, whose room is near by, was awakened by violent scream ing, and hastening to the little one's bedside louna that rats had been gnawing at her ear, which was bleeding profusely. The methods of punishment for small offenses are various and peculiar. For idle ness, inattention or breach ol military dis cipline, the boys are made to spend the half or whole of their holiday in scrubbing floors, washing clothes, sawing wood, doing kitchen work or performing other tasks of a domestic nature. A word let fall during military drill is rewarded with a rever berating slap. Boys have been set at scrubbing the floor when it L was so cold that their fingers grew red and rigid, and the water froze upon their brushes. One of the favorite modes of pun ishment in the girls' department is sewing carpet rags after the obedient pupils have retired. It has been said that girls have been kept up as late as 3 a.m. employed in this manner. The officers of the school ad mit some of the charges, but say punish ment is absolutely necessary.

Park Policeman Shannon, while walking his beat at 6:30 o'clock last evening came upon the body of a man lying onthe east side of the ramble, opposite Seventy-eighth street Blood was flowing from a wound over the right ear, and the body was still warm.

At 46 Hudson street, a boarding house and restaurant kept by Charles Schumacher, a friend of the suicide, said that Bowman was a native of Groningen, Holland. He was a single man, 44 years old and came to this country 18 years ago. For the past two years he has been out of work, and has been virtually supported by Mr. Schumacher.

"I wonder if there are many baseball twirlers who are awar? of the fact that tanned horse hide is being extensively used for baseball covers, and that it is really a most serviceable article," said Archibald Eraser, the Reade street leather manufac turer, to a New York Evening Sun reporter recently. "A Philadelphian has a monopoly of tan ning these hides. Like the sheep and calf hides used for this particular purpose, they are all alum tanned.
