' GENERAL BASE BALL XEWS OF THE DAT
The Pittsburg club lost another game yes
terday, making its eighth successive defeat.
The "Washington club is elateS at its suc
cess, and attributes much of it to the pres
ence of Secretary Jerry Busk, whom they
view in the light of a mascot.
tSPKCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
"Washington, July 17. "We are out of
our 'teens now," yelled an enthusiastic
bleacher at the close of to-day's game be
tween the Washingtons and Pittsburgs, and
Secretary Busk, of the Agricultural De
partment, nodded his head as if in approval
of the enthusiasm. Three straight from
Pittsburg was more than the most sanguine
admirer nf the Senators dreamed of, and Uncle
Jerry is considered to be the mascot who has
done the home team so much good recently.
An error started the game, Rotto making a
fumble of Hoy's grounder, and the demon of
bid lock thus let loose seemed to pursue the
visitors throughout the contest. Wilmot'sfly.
to Hanlon was cared for in the most approved
style, and on Daly's single over second base.
Hoy trotted heme. Wise went to first on balls,
and Clark sent another man In by a double
bagger
OVEK 'WHITE'S HEAD.
In fact, this seemed to be a favorite locality
for the local batters, and they all essayed drives
In the Deacon's direction, as if desirous of seo
ing him gnash his teeth, as they sped by out of
bis reach.
One. two, three was the order for the visitors
In the first Inning. Hanlon giving Sweeny a
foul, which Roue duplicated a few minutes
later in Wilmot's direction, and Beckley struck
out. Mack opened the second inning with a
double between thud and short and on a
similar crack by Sweeny the tall Senator walked
home. The next three strikers, however, went
out in regular order, leaving Sweeny at third
base. "White's fly to Sweeny i as muffed, and
Fields took first on called balls. Maul struck
out and Dunlap sent a fly to Clark at
short, who pluckily held on to it and effected a
double play, unas'isted, also retiring White,
who had started for the third bag. Daly was
given first on balls, but Garfield caught him
napping. Wise hit safely over second, and
stole another base by
A LONG SLIDE.
Clark fouled outj and Carney sent a grounder
to second, which Dunlap juggled, and Wise
scored. Mack made a single upon which Car
ney attempted to score, but he was thrown out
at the borne plate by Beckley.
Pittsburg broke the ice in the third inning
after two men were out, Hanlon rapping out a
double and taking third on Rowe's sacrifice.
Beckley found a ball that just hummed over
second bag and Hanlon and Rowe cantered
across the home plate. White stopped further
progress by being thrown out at first by Keefe.
Ciphers were in urder up to the sixth-inning,
when with two out, Sweeney was hit by Gar
field and sent to first. Keefe hit safely and
Hov drove both men home on a triple to left
field, and on Smith's muff of Wilmot's fly the
mute center fielder also tallied. Beckley flew
out to Wilmot. and White was sent to first in
this inning by Mack's muff of his fly. After
Field's had advanced the Deacon to second on
a single, a double play off Maul's grounder
nipped all hope of a run.
In the seventh Pittsburg made what proved
to be
THEIK FINAL TALLIES.
Dunlap going to first on called balls. Smith
advanced his captain a bae on a sacrifice and
Garfield struck out, Hanlon came to toe
rescue with a timely single over third, and
Clark fell down and rolled over and over with
a grounder that Rowe sent in his direction.
Beckli sired Keefe up for a clipper over
second, and Dunlap and Hanlon came borne
wiiiiuui uuuble. Sweeny was given first on
balls, but it availed him little, as Garfield
caught him too far off firs, baso and easily dis
posed of him. Keefe also went to first on
called balls, and on a wild throw by Fields he
scampered to third, where he remained, the
next two strikers proving easy victims to
Fields. Three runs were added by the Senators
in their share of the last inning, this result
being contributed to materially by Hanlon
dropping two flies in his territory, a fumble by
Rowe, and a single by Clark. Smith took first
on four bad balls, but Garfield sent a grounder
to Clark and another double play was the out
comeot the experiment. Hanlon gave the
same fielder a hot fly, which be clung to, and
for the third time in succession Pittsburg's
colors were trailed in the dust. Score:

KING AND LATHAM WATCHED.
They Are Chnrced IVIlh Crookedness and a
Detective Is on the Alerr.
St. Lotas. July 17. King and Latham are in
trouble. They are charged with throwing
games for a consideration. One instance is
cited, tbat in a game against the Athletics
King was m tho box the first two innings, and
a well-known sport was backing the Athletics
heavily. King's pitching was so execrable
tbat he was taken oat and Stivitts substi
tuted. At that point, although the Athletics
were ahead, the sport commenced hedging and
gave odds to get hie- money protected. The
Browns won by a score of 13 to 12. The charges
looked so badly tbst President Von der Ahe
pnt the matter in the hands of a detective
agency, and notified King and Latham of the
charges against Ihem. They both deny the
rnmored crookedness, and are very indignant
over It. President Von der Ahe states that if
fonnd guilty the pair will forever be prohibited
from playing ball.
DEPENDING THE rXAYERS.
Wheeling Lawyers Argue Well for
the
Alleged Snnrtnr Desecrntors.
Wheeling. W. Va., July 17. In the Circuit
Court this morning, tbe Wheeling and Dayton
teams who had technically spent the night in
jail, although not in fact, were arraigned be
fore Judge Paul on a writ of habeas corpus.
The State was represented by Judge J. J.
Jacobs and ex-Senator Sommervllle, while
C.tptaln B. B. Dovener, J. D. Ewlng and Col
onel W. W. Arneit were for the defense. Tfes
tlmony was taken as to tbe facts in the first
arrest by Justice Phillips, under which the
ball plaj ers arc already under bail to answer
belore the grand jury, the object bcingto show
tbe first arrest, and the bond in pursuance
thereof, barred the sccondarrest by Justice
Arkle, on the ground that as there was but one
game of ball In progress there was hut one
offense, if any at, all under the statute. It was
further claimed by the defense first, tbat no
offense had been committed under the law;
second, tbat if there was such offense, the
players n ere not liable, being legally servants
of the management; third, that the arrests
were not legally made on Sunday, and fourth,
that the proceedings were illegal in themselves
for tbe reason tbat it had been a prearranged
proceeding.
The matter was very elaborately argned be
fore a large audience.
Ate.30 Judge Paull discharged tbe defend
ants. The first arrest still holds good.

Some Important Berelations to he Hade
. at Some Fntnre Time.
MULDOON'S KIND WOKDS FOE JOHN E.
TCuMngtoa Fuk Judges Hissed
Wioch First.
for Placing Little
Kilrain has reached his home at last. He
says he is in good condition, and while he
admitted that he was squarely defeated,
thinks he was the victim of circumstances.
Muldoon denies his reported criticism of
Sullivan, and says he and the champion are
warm friends.
Baltimore, July 17. Jake Kilrain, the
pugilist, who arrived in Baltimore yester
day afternoon has entirely recovered from
the effects of his battle with Sullivan, and
looks in even better condition than on the
day he left Baltimore for the fighting
grounds. He does not show a mark of any
kind. In speaking about the great fight,
Kilrain said squarely that he w"as whipped,
but thought that he was largely the victim
of circumstances. When asked directly if be
thought he had been drugged, he said: "No: I
don't think I was drugged. If I bad been I
couldn't have stayed as long as I did."
Johnny Murphy, when asked the'Bame ques
tion, answered mysteriously that there was
something wrong, but that for the present bis
tongue was tild, though when the time came he
expected to make some important revelation.
"What have you got to say about Mitchell?"
the reporter asked.
"Well, he was not very attentive, to toy the
least," was the reply.
"If yon ever fiht again, Jake, would you
have Mitchell for your trainer?"
"No: I don't know tbat I would. Bat I don't
know that I will fight any more. I think I have
bad my share of it."
In speaking further about the fight, Kilrain
said:
"I weighed 185 ponnds when I went into the
ring, and all the talk about me only weighing
168 is all bosh. I knew I had not been trained
properly and was not in fit condition to fight
Sullivan, but if I had not gone into tbe ring
the people would have said I was a coward, and
I meant to fight if I was killed.
"The crowd there was against me, and tbe
referee, I think, while a square man, was par
tial to Sullivan and knew nothing about the
rules. Both be and the crowd were all the
time telling me to go np to Sullivan, and I
went, knowing I would only be knocked down.
Of course the referee had no right to say a
word, and under the rules I conld have run all
round the rlntr. but there was no ono bnt little
Mnrphy here to coach me, and I blindly went
up and took my medicine.
"The fact, though, that-I was knocked down
repeatedly, bnt not knocked out. shows that
Sullivan's terrible blows didn't have the power
some people suppose they did. I conld have
stood up longer, but Donovan threw up the
sponge in excitement, being afraid I would get
killed. My blows for some reason or other
did not seem to have any force. My arms
seemed numb, bnt what was tbe matter I don't
for the life of me know. Tbe snn there had a
terrible effect on me. Mvback was one big
blister after the fight. Why, Mitchell went
abont the ring with bis head wrapped in a
towel soaked in ice water, complaining all the
time abont the heat."
THERE IB SOMETHING IN IT.
Governor Lowry Rrlnses to Commit Him
self ns to Wholesnle Prosecntlons-
Hkw Orleans. July 17. It having been re
ported here that a list of 1,500 names. Including
newspaper correspondents, railroad and
telegraph people and spectators at the recent
Sullivan and Kilrain fight had been forwarded
to Mississippi, and that all parties concerned
would be held to answer for violating the
laws ot that State, a correspondent at
Jackson was instructed to ascertain, if pos
sible, from Governor Lowry the scope of the
prosecution, whether or not the specta
tors would be proceeded against, but
the Governor declined to be interviewed
on the subject, in advance oT the action of the
authorities of Marion county. The Governor
said, however, that he miirht have something
to say on the subject in a few days; be thinks J
tuo reuurfr exaggeraieo.
MULDOOV4 AFFECTION.
He Hns MnnV Kind Words for the Only
V John L.
New York. July 17. William Muldoon pub
lishes this morning a card In which be says:
"I have justread an article in this morning's
papers which is unjust and untrue, and is
evidently done by some malicious person with
rthe intention of making trouble between Sulli
van and myself. I have always been and still
am his friend. Our close companionship while
training has only strengthened our friendship,
fwant It understood that I am John L. Sulli
van's friend, and possess too mnch manhood to
co behind his back to complain of any griev
ances. We are both men, and any trouble we
may have tie will settle face to face and will
not go whining to friends or to the public We
parted tbe best of friends, and we entertain to
day tbe warmest friendship for each other. I
know tbat be entertains the deepest love for
his parents, brother and sister. He is kind
hearted and generous to a fault. I am positive
tbat be fully appreciates what has been done
for bim bv his backers and trainers. He has in
Charlie Johnson, of Brooklyn, whose name is
used in my alleged interview, a true friend,
and one whose friendship and generosity can
not be equaled. This is what I have to say
about Sullivan, Johnson and myself. Our
treatment by the Southern people, especially
in New Orleans, was very generous, courteous
and kind, and I would like the friends of Mr.
Sullivan all over the country to extend their
heartiest thanks to tbe Young Men's Gymnas
tic Club and the representatives ot tbe dally
press of New Orleans: also to Pat Duffy, who
was untiring in his efforts to see tbat we were
properly cared tor and made as comfortable as
possible. Yours, sincerely,
"William Muldoon."

New Yobk, July 17. Chas. J. Turner,
Superintendent of the Cleveland Forge and
Iron Works, at Cleveland, 10 yiars ago was
divorced from his wife, whom he had mar
ried 20 years before in Danburv, Conn. His
wife secured the divorce,and sne returned to

The R,ev. Adolph Gumbart, pastor of
the German Baptist Church ef

that Mr. and Mrs. Turner lived
happily for 20 years before the trouble
came which brought separation and
divorce. "For ten years," he said, "Mrs.
Turner heard nothing from her divorced
husband. A month or so ago she received a
newspaper containing a marked death no

Turner. The letter was answered, and the
marriage the other night was the sequel."
Mr. and Mrs. Turner have returned to

Who Pats on the Gloves A Kilrain of tho
Same Stripe.
Buffalo Express.
' The average Italian may not be credited
with an over abundance of brains, but he
certainly has a great head for making
money. Banana? No; not this time some
thing new. One of them an Italian, not
a banana was promenading the streets
.the other day with a box turned up edge
ways and fasted to .a pair of wheels. He
stopped on Court street near the square,
opened a little trap in the side, and out
leaped two little monkeys. The Italian
busied himself with the box,. and a crowd
soon gathered to see what was to be seen.
Presently the Italian yanked the monkeys
up on the box by the chains wbich were
fastened to them, and then introduced them
to the audienoe as "John L. Sullivan and
I Jake Kilrain." He then told Jake to "put
on his coat," but Jake couldn't understand
English, so he didn't obey. A few words
in Italian, however, and Jake got into tbat
coat as quickly and in the same manner as
an ordinary human being would. He was
ordered to take jt off", as the "great prize
fight was to take place and no fighter could
fight with fiis coat on."
Jake took his coat off, and the Italian
produced a set of miniature boxing gloves.
He slipped a pair on each animal's front
paws. The crowd had been so interested
tbat it torgot to wonder how the Italian
was going to make any money out ot this,
but it was soon brought to its senses by the
Italian announcing thatthe great fight was
ready to proceed after the gate receipts were
collected. He passed tbe cup around, got it
pretty well filled, and then ordered the fight
to go on. The monkeys stood on their bind
legs and danced around, while they dashed
both gloves at the same time at each other's
face. Kilrain fell frequently to "avoid pun
ishment." The referee spurred him on by
snouting at him, but it was of no use. John
L. succeeded in laying out his victim. Both
were placed in the box and the Italian then
moved on.
BHE LOST ON TOT.
An Excited Lady Bets Tea to One on a Horse
That Doesn't Win.
Philadelphia North American.
In the second heat the excitement ran
high. Lots of money was bet on the bay
mare, and nearly everyone felt sure that
she would win. It was recognized, though,
.that in Wilkes and Tippie she had oppo
nents not to be sneezed at. Everyone in
the grand stand was wild. A pretty young
woman in a "Charley" hat leaped excitedly
to her feet, upsetting a plate of ice cream
in her sudden move.
"Ten to one on Tot." she cried, waving a
wad of crisp greenbacks, f
"Take you up," yelled back a smooth
faced young fellow, diving into his pocket.
Somewhat abashed, the girl sank back
into her seat. "Bet him, Kittie," whispered
a friedd. ,
Kittle timidly shoved out her money. It
was covered.
"Go!" shouted the judges.
Away went the horses, but in rather bad
order. Tot spurted to the lead, and at the
quarter was about two lengths ahead. The
pretty mare settled hard to work, and when
the half-mile post was reached the King was
making a hard effort to gain the lead. But
at thetbree-quarter post King went all to
pieces. Down the homestretch the horses
sped. When within 50 yards of the wire
Tot went up badly, and Wilkes won by less
than three.lengths, -

THE FLIGHT OF INSECTS.
An Insect as Large as a Horse Would Fly
as Fast as a Cannon Ball.
St. James Gazette.
Tbe same writer supplies instances of the
high speed attained by insects in their flight,
many of them being able to outstrip swift
birds. It has been computed that the com
mon house fly, in ordinary flight, makes 600
strokes per second, and advances 25 feet;
but that rate of speed, if the insect be
alarmed, may be increased six or,seven fold,
so that under certain circumstances it can
outstrip the fleetest race horse. It is no un
common thing to iee a bee or wasp endeav
oring to get in at the window of a railway
train in full speed, arid it is calculated that
if a small insect can fly faster than a race
horse can run, an insect as large as a horse
would be able to travel as fast as a cannon
ball.
Leunwenholk relates an exciting chase,
which he beheld iu a menagerie, about 100
feet long, between a swallow and a dragon
fly among the swiftest of insects. The in
sect flew with incredible speed and wheeled
with such address that the swallow, in spite
of its utmost efforts, completely failed to
overtake and capture it- A pigeon fancier
of Hamme, in Westphalia, recently made a
wager that a dozen bees liberated three miles
from their hive would reach it in better time
than a dozen pigeons would reach their cote
from the same distance. The com
petitors were given wing at Bhyhern, a vil
lage nearly a league from Hamme, and the
first bee reached home a quarter of a minute
in advance of the first pigeo'n. Three other
bees reached the goal before the second
pigeon, the main body of both detachments
finishing almost simultaneously an instant
or two later The bees, it maybe mentioned,
had been handicapped in the race, having
been rolled in flour before starting for pur
poses of identification. According to Cba-
brier, tbe male of tne silkworm moth, trav
els upward of 100 miles, in one day, and
there are manv of our British moths, as en-
toinologis'ts well know, wbich can cover long
distances in an incredibly short space of
time.
CHINA IS A DEMOCRACY.
Any Attempt by 'the Emperor to Resist the
People Would Cause n Revolution.
Consul Smithcrs In Wilmington News.l
The Chinese are among the shrewdest peo
ple in the world. -They are peculiar in our
estimation. Their civilization is an old
one and its customs and and rules are very
rigid. They are a well-educated people
can ask and answer the most difficult
questions. ' Their system ot education
is largely a cultivation of the power of
memory and is more in the acceptance of
what wise men have thought abd said than
in investigation and demonstration. They
are a very persistent people. I have known
old men who have spent a lifetime in study
and examinations lor the rank of a man
darin. Several old,men were given degrees
while I was in China simply because they
had been striving and waiting so long. The
Chinamen who come to this country are not
recognized in their native land as the true
Chinamen. They are coolies, and by true
Chinamen are called foreigners.
Just before I came away one of the great
est of Chinese statesmen sent for me and
said: "I want to talk to you about this
question of the expulsion .of the Chinese
lrom America." I conld'not talk with him
in any official capacity, but as an individual
I fiad a long conference with him on the
subject. The difficulty has been in the
abrogation of treaty rights. They do not
understand the situation. When I made
the minister understand tbe labor side of the
issue by calling to his attention the fact that
railroads and labor-saving machinery were
excluded from China by the populace for the
same Teason that Chinese coolies are ex
cluded from America, he admitted the force
of the argument and replied: "Your argu
ment is very good."
In one sense tbe Chinese Government is a
tyranny, but in others it is the most abso
lute democracy of which I have any knpwl
edge. The Government would be over
thrown at once if it attempted to oppose the
