Chicago, May S. 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.

He says that he will take to-morrow's game

CORTEZ IS A GOOD ONE.
Ono of Sam Brawn's String Comes In Pint
at the Fimlico Meet.
SPECIAL TILEOBAM TO THI DtSPATClt.l
Baltimore, May 8. 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

of striking out the items ior the purchase of
the Sniull copyright and the painting of the
battle ot Lake Erie.
When the bill came back from the Senate
to-day with the amendments in which the
House was asked to concur, Mr. Kauffman,

Captain Billingsley, of Washington, op
posed concurrence, and the bill iras sent to

Some of the Senate amendments follow:
Appropriating 55,000 to purchase the copy
right of Smull's hand book from Thomas

attacked by Mr. Kauffman. Mr.
Lytle characterized the Cochran
item as "a disgraceful eflort
of the party of which I am a member to
salve over and win back a disappointed pol

have reconciliations to make, let them pay
the bill out of their own pockets," Mr.
Lytle also referred to "the battle of Lake
Erie as a framed window-shade."

A FAKIR OF MORALS,
Is tho Pleasing Appellation Conferred on
Mr. Wherry bv Captain Haaictt.
rrnoM a stait cokrespondent.j
Habbisbueg, May 8. 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. Mr. Fow
also won applause for his vigorous defense of
Mr. Wherry's Democracy. Both times Repub
licans joined even more heartily than the
Democrats. The vote against Captain Hassett's
motion was practically unanimous.
"A fakir of morals," was one of the terms
applied by the Captain to Mr. Wherry, who sat
in his seat and Bmiled while it was going on.
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.

May 8, 1889. Life is sweet, but it becomes a

art thou, but then an empty stomach is nor the
right admirer of nature's beauty. I'll try to
find the reverse of the medal. Shall I succeed?

J. Bowman.
The handwriting is that of an educated
man, and has no foreign characteristics.
The note is written on both sides of a torn
piece of paper. The signature is made al
most illegible by a big blotch of blood.
There was nothing in the man's pockets
but a bunch of keys. He was fairly well
dressed. 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

Compensation Paid to Connecting Lines for
the Use of Their Cars.
Washington, May 8. The railroad
men who appeared before the Inter-State
Commerce Commission yesterday and testi
fied in regard to the practice of giving com
missions were present to-day in response to
the commission's citation calling on them
for information as to allowances paid by the
railroads for trackage, and also for the use
of cars furnished by shippers, car companies
or connecting lines.
The first road called was the "Wabash
"Western road. Charles M. Hayes, General
Manager, testified that the rate ot compen
sation paid to connecting lines for the use of
cars was three-quarters of a cent a mile on
ordinary freight cars loaded or unloaded.
There was no general or universal rule
among railroad companies as to the sleeping
cars used on the road. There were private
stock and refrigerator cars run on the roads,
for each of which a separate rate per mile
was allowed. A coal car was valued at
about (300, a box car at $500 and an ordi
nary stock car between $400 and $500.
D.S. Gray.of thePittsburg,Ft"Wayne and
Chicago road, sail in tbeline he represented
three-fourths had been the maximum except
on refrigerators, upon which a mileage rate
of 1 cent had been paid from August last to
May 1st inst. The rider allowing the latter
rate had been advanced, however, to go into
effect" on the 1st inst. The Pennsylvania
road allows mileage to cars used by mining
and furnace companies and some horse ship
pers of three-fourths of 1 cent.
FISH NOT BROKEN DOWN.

Sweets of Freedom Next Saturday.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TJtE DI8FATCR.1
Atjbubit, N. Y., May 8. James D.Fish,
the ex-President of the Marine Bank of
New York City, who was convicted of mis
applying the funds of the bank and causing
its failure, will be released from prison on
Saturday next The old man will not leave
the prison broken in health. He is quite
spry, and his face indicates that his health
is very good.
A reporfer had a good chance to notice his
physical appearance this morning as he
passed through the prison hall into the
clerk's office. He walked with a free and
elastic step. "When he walks out of the
prison gate on Saturday morning next he
will board the train for New York spryer
than a good many men af his age who have
never done time behind prison walls
There was a happy look on the old man's
face as he glanced through the door of the
prison entrance, and his eye took in the
beauty of the contrast between the heavy
green of the grass on the well-kept lawn and
the bright colors of the tulips, which are
Mrs. Dors ton's pride. Tne picture pleased
the old man. and no doubt was a foretaste of
what he will enjoy after Saturday next.
A PROHIBITION RECRUIT.
Ex-Congressman Elliott Declares for the
Constitutional Amendment.
PHIIADEI.PHIA, May 8. Mortimer F.
Elliott, of Tioga county, is here attending
the Supreme Court. He is one of the most
prominent lawyers of his section, repre
sented the State-at-large in the Forty-eighth
Congress and was chairman of the Democratic
State Convention that nominated Black for
Governor. Mr. Elliott announces himself
for prohibition.
Mr. Elliott to-night gave his reasons for
supporting the amendment. He says he is
willing to try the experiment, and, while he
would prefer that the object sought should
be accomplished by legislation, now that the
matter is presented in the form of a constitu
tional amendment will give it his support
He thinks prohibition will destroy the civil
influence of the Saloon upon the rising gen
eration and upon laboring men who spend
their sustenance for liquor while their fami
lies are leit in want Mr. Elliott says that
he has no objections to hotels providing
liquors for their guest3, and believes that if
the sale of liquor had been confined to that
the present temperance agitation and de
mand for prohibition would not haye arisen.

The Best -are Blade From Sheepskin br tl
Peculiar Process.
"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. Sheep covers are the
most popular, and our American sheep pro
duces a much better covering for a baseball
than does the English sheep. The sheep
raised in Michigan are for some reason the
best producers of baseball leather.
"The best American mutton comes to the
New York market "We visit the butchers
in the various markets to purchase tho
sheepskins removed from their best stock.
Second quality skins are of no use in mak
ing serviceable baseball leather. After the
wool is removed the hides are then tanned.
Should they require coloring aniline dyes
are used lor the purpose."
