ROWE WAS THE BIG JONAH. iMnlap Offered to Boston, but the Price Too Big. ITHE SENATORS BEAT THE GIANTS. Boston Again Takes a Good Leal in the Pennant Struggle. GEXEEAL BASEBALL NEWS OF THE DAT Once more the Chlcagos defeated the Pittsburg ball team yesterday. Tener, of the East End. did great work for Chicago, and so did Staley for Pittsburg; but Howe's Kostly error knocked chances of local vic Jtory into oblivion. The "Washington team Ibcat the Giants easily. Dunlap has been offered to Boston, but that club deemed his price too big. Smith will go to Boston. Philosophers all tell us of such things in human affairs as reactions. A few short days ago all of us in and about Pittsburg who are interested in the daily events of the national game, were clean up to the seventh heaven with delight We laid the small people from Cleveland low. and our feelings twerc stretched and no doubt about it. How ever, a change has come over the scene, and c delegation from Chicago are simply Ixnopping up the floor, or at least the dia-J saond, with us. Another one-sided game was played yester- 3ay at Recreation Park between the home team and the visitors from the Windy City of the West. If the playing of the home talent yes- Lterday is to be taken as a criterion, we can rest assurea tnat tneir ngniiui piace is ao Bolntely at the foot of the list A Bame of ball which was more palpably lost Iby glaring errors has seldom if ever been seen. There is not a palliating feature in the defeat; xae latter was caused Dy aownncnt oaa piay ins?. and that tells the entire storv. The visitors made five runs and the home players made one; but not one run of the six came near being earned. .. Wretched fielding gave the visitors their quota, and a base on balls was the prompting power 01 me local run. 'twas wretched fieldixg. fb Everyone of the 1.000 people present will say (that it was only bad fielding that lost the game. fStaley pitched well, and at most there ongbt (only to have been five hits made off him. There were three made after the side ought to have been out in the third inning without a run. Bowe made a costly, though somewhat ex fcusable error, and fonr runs were made after it At a later stage Dunlap somewhat lost his head, and was to a great extent instrumental in allowing another run to be scored. Without doubt the fielders had an off day and the cause of it may be con jectural. It was evident to all that the visitors could do little or nothing with Staley, but the 'miserable fielding made everybody weary and fsick at heart l B At stages there were loud cries for Smith and iKuehne, bnt it may be safe to cay that their fcrles were chiefly prompted by impulse, because fbf the excitement of the moment Nobodv who has had a trustworthy experience of League ball games would argue that Kuehne and Smith are equal to Rowo and Dunlap. .The question does teem a debatable one, but the best of people can have their days of mis takes. There is not a player in the country who loes not reach bis unlucky moments now and fagaln. Smith and Kuehne were certainly as liable to meet their unfortunate periods as any ibody in the country. Howe and Dunlap then ,fcad A VEBT TOfFORTUSATE TIME of it yesterday, and one of the errors made by 'Howe was one of those exceedingly unfortu tnate mistakes that turns out to be the prime factor in bringing about a victory. Such is base iball, even in the best regulated team the world ever saw. Tener, the tall young gentleman from the East End, was in the box for the visitors. It 'ever there was a deceiving youth Mr. Tener Is one. If e delivers the ball with an ease and to Borne extent a grace that gives one an idea that Ills only aim is to put the ball where it can be hit in delivering the ball Tener's nonchalance is remarkable, and every batter that is fooled 'only wonders the more how it has been done. V spectator cannot detect any unnsual speed n Tener's delivery: indeed, his speed seems not to be up to the average and the truth is, "rom an onlooker's standpoint there aoes not eem to be a puzzling point about a ball that e pitches. He gets there, however, at least .edid so yesterday with great effect and his friends in the crowd were evidently pleased to tee it It will be something very singular, how ever, if Tener's very seductive style of pitching is not measured before long. He was well supported: in fact the support afforded him all round was perfect and that was a very en couraging feature to him. THEY SCORED A BUS'. The home team were the first to score, and they did so almost as soon as possible. After Jllanlon was out in the first inning Carroll got (to first on balls. Becklcy then knocked out a 'single to middle field, Carroll getting to third. "Miller banged out another single to left and Carroll scored, Beckley getting to second. Bowe came next, and he sent a bound ing grounder to Burns, who touched Beckley out and made a donble play by throwing Bowe out at first T bis was 'thu first and last rnn made by the home players. Several of them hit tne ball hard, but some ,'bow or otner it either bounded Into a fielder's lands or went straight through the air to where a man was standing ready to nab it & In the third inning the visitors were simply mothered with fortune's smiles; at least the mistakes of the home plavers gave them almost all they could desire. Burns led off and went 'out at first Tener. amid great applause, made ,a single to right and was put out at second on Haitian's grounder to Dunlap. This looked like pie, and it was thought at the end of tbo inning the game would be 1 to 0 in the home team's favor. Ryan, however, knocked a grounder to Rowe, bo flagrantly fumbled it ET?Q Bastian reached second and Ryan first. Van Haltren then rapped out & sincle to left and Bastian scored. Ryan reaching third and Van second. Duffy brought both men in on a long single to middle. Duffy reaching second on the play. Anson's long single to left sent Duffy home, making four great big runs, instead of a blank. This had a sort of wet-blanket effect and the club officials w ere reminded of the existence of Smith and Kuehne. . After Farrell bad been retired in the fourth inning. Burns hit the ball for a single to center, and got to second on Dnnlap's stupid fumble of .Tener's grounder. A passed ball sent Burns to third and Tener to second. After Bastian was retired at first Ryan's single to short stop sent Sums home. No more runs were made. In the Uf tu inning Anson made a three-bagger after two men were out but PfefTer struck out Mo-.-Quaid umpired well. Following is the score : m ITTSBCRO K B F A X CIIICAGOS.

Umpire Baker fined Ewing 25 and ordered him from the game in the eighth inning for using disrespectful language while re monstrating over a decision In this inning.

When Smith was notified yesterday by Secre tary Scandrett that he could go to Boston he at first held ont for half the release money. Finally he consented to go without enforcing these conditions. PresidentNimlck stated defin itely yesterday that Dunlap had been offered to Boston, but the terms were too steep for the Triumvirs. The latter would neither give the price asked nor trade a good catcher. An effort was then made to trade Smith for Ganzel, but this wouldn't go, and Smith was sold. Pitcher Conway, it is now reported, threatens to try and obtain his salary from the club. It is stated that the brotherhood will push his claim. It is not stated, however, what are the reasons of his claims. The local officials are in no way alarmed about the matter. . League Record. Perl Per Won. Lon.Ct.1 Won. LostCt.

A Husband and Wife Debarred From Marry ing, Yet Allowed to Do So. tEFECLU. TELEGRAM TO TRE DISPATCH. 1 Middletown, N. Y.t July 30. Adeline F. Smith and Irving Johnson were married at Marathon in 1883. Alter being together a year or two they quarreled and sepa rated. Each charged the other with infidelity, and the husband en tered suit for a divorce in the Supreme Court of Onondaga county, while the wife began a similar suit in the Supreme Court of Cortland county. As it happened, both courts ordered the entering of decrees in favor of the respective plaintiffs on the same day, and in each case upon terms which stopped the defendant from marrying again during the life time of the plaintiff. In other words, the Onondaga Court gave Mr. Johnson a decree of divorce with the privi lege of marrying again, while denying that privilege to his wife, and the Cortland Court gave Mrs. Johnson a divorce with the privilege of remarrying, while withholding that privilege from her husband. Mrs. Johnson married Alexander Champ lin, a respectable young farmer ot Groton. Her second matrimonial venture turns oat a failure, like the first Mr. Champlin now brings suit, asking that the alleged marriage of the parties be declared fraudn lent and null and void, inasmuch as Mrs. Johnson failed to inform him before their marriage that there existed a judgment of court which barred her from marrying again.

Tho Two Murphys Slug Each Other nt tbe Rooms of the California Athletic Clnb Some Bard Fighting for a Good Purse. San Francisco, July SO. A fight to a finish for a purso of $1,800, 1300 to the loser, took place at the rooms of the California Athletic Club to-night between Frank Murphy, tbe fea'ther-weight champion of England, and Billy Murphy, the feather-weight champion of Australia, who knocked out Johnny Griffin, of Boston, m three .rounds In the same club rooms on the 12th Inst. Frank Murphy's last battle was -with Ike "Wier, the Spider," with whom ha fought a draw in 80 rounds, in Indiana, March last. Time was called at 927. Frank led with a left-hander in the Australian's stomach. In terchange of blows followed, Frank's left find ing Billy's ear, and the tatter's right reaching the Englishman's wind. Billy then got in three singles on different parts of Frank's body, while the little man broke ground, but was cool and confident. In the second round the men sparred well up in Fiank's corner. The latter broke ground and took another corner. Interchange half arm blows followed, the Englishman landing heavily. In tbe rally Frank fell in the corner and Billy slipped over tbe ropes. The Australian kept both hands going and failed to ward a right-hand roaster in his ribs. In another rally, a sounding right-hand swing on Billy's car, brought forth considerable applause. The round closed with a lett-hand tap from Billy on his adversary's chest. In the third, fourth and fifth rounds some very lively sparring was witnessed. Few heavy blows were struck in the sixth and seventh. In the eighth a left bander on the chin drove the Australian back. The latter in the rally fell clean over the Englishman, landing on his hands. Frank got in several sounders in the wind with his right, in the twelfth round a left hander on the Australian's ribs was followed by a clean straight blow on the Englishman's nose. A clinch followed, and the Australian received another left hand upper cut. Some fruitless sparring followed. In the thirteenth round the Australian came up savage and chased his opponent clear across tbe ring into the latter's corner. Frank tapped him several times with his left, while he sought an opening. In a rush he caught a couple right and left hand swings in the ribs. In tbe fourteenth round tbe Englishman assumed the aggressive, and some fierce fighting fol lowed, right and left hand swings for head alternately with savage up per cuts and clinches. Both men fought themselves groggy, and thunderous applause followed the close of the round. The fighting was fierce from then up to the seventeenth round, when both men seemed to be sparring for wind after their ferocious struggle. in tbe twenty-third, twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth rounds nothing was done, each man waiting for the other to lead, and hisses and Cries of, "Make it a draw;" "make them fight," rose from the galleries. At the end of the twenty-seventh ronud the referee stepped into the ring and said it was clearly apparent the men could not go on with the fight. He said he did not know what was the matter with the men, but the clnb never did and never would declare a draw. He would not allow the men to stand around doing no lighting. He would simply declare tbe fight postponed and in the meantime the directors would take measures to hnd out what was the matter with the men. SOMETHING OF A FIGHT. A Rather Lively Battle Which Was Stopped ' by the Police. Buffalo, July SO. Peter Jackson, the big California negro, now the protege of Parson Davies, who is stopping off here, giving spar ring exhibitions on his way to New York, was downed hers to-night. Tom Lynch, tho Irish Giant, a big local athlete of more muscle than brains, was billed to stand up for four rounds before Jackson. Somebody bad put it into his head that he could down tbe Calif ornian, and he sailed Into him with tbat evident intent. It was a tremendous slugging match. The two men began thumping each other with might and main as soon as they shook hands, and the crowd yelled with delight. Finally, in tbe second round, with a stentorian curse that could be beard for blocks. Lynch grabbed Jackson by the legs, pulled his pins out from under him, and jumped on him. The crowd sprang into their chairs, every man of them, and yelled till the roof cracked. It re quired dozens to pull the two men apart. The police rushed in then and put a stop to tho pugilists.

TZT.XQRAU TO TBX DISPATCH. Baltijioee, July 3a Very little credit is placed in the report that Kilraln would Surren der to the New Orleans authorities. He will certainly nut go with Norrls, nor will be or his friends agree to any terms offered by this alleged detective. Kilraln would gladly settle with the Governor of MlssissippLif by so doing he could get off with a fine. He is tired of playing at hide and seek. Letters received here from people who say they have had dealings with ftorris give the latter a very poor recommendation. There are not a few who believe that he is "on the make," and that he would let np for a consideration. Kilram wants to establish a school here, but under the circumstances is unable to make any arrangements for an open ing. He is still in Virginia, Racing af Braddock. BltADDOCK, Pa July 3a There was some more good racing on the Union Driving Park course this evening. A pacing race between horses owned by J. L. Carlisle and H. S. Hamp ton was won by tbe latter in 2:42. Carlisle's horse was completely distanced in this nee. A trot between Henry Null's Gray Eagle and D. M Kier's Queen wag very exciting. Null's horse crossed the line a winner in 3:10. A run ning race was also participated in by ponies of Henry Null and Charley Britt. Null's pony won this dash also. Best time, 222.

Jackson said he had no money, and after a dispute tbe two engaged in a slugging matcb, in which Jackson was "downed" by his opponent. Lees was afterward ejected from the hotel. A One-Armed Battle.

Warner's Plea for a Crowd Palls to Meet With a Kesponse. A DETERMINED FEELING MANIFESTED That the Action Taken by the Eallroads Must be Sat Sown Upon. Notwithstanding. General "Warner's call for a good attendance at the G. A. B. En campment, the prospects are decidedly otherwise. Eight Department Commanders met at Chicago yesterday, and agreed that their States should not he represented ex cept by delegates. This practically settles the matter. Chicago, July 30. The Grand Army of the Republic department commanders of eight States were in session nearly all day at the Grand Pacific Hotel, debating the stand they should take in reference to the annual encampment next month at Mil waukee. The result of the meeting was a positive and unqualified indorsement of the announced determination to discourage gen eral attendance in view of the refusal of the railroads to make satisfactory rates. The States represented were Illinois, by Department Commander Martin; Iowa, Commander Charles H. Davis, of Mt. Pleasant; Minnesota, Commander A. Barto, of Sauk Center; Missouri, Colonel Sogers, of Springfield, representing Commander Phelps; Indiana, Commander Charles M. Travis, of Crawfordsville; Michigan, Com mander M. Brown, of Big Rapids; Kansas, Com sander Booth, of Larned; Nebraska, Commander J. B. Davis, of "Wahoo. THE DECISION BEACHED. The conference was presided over by Gen eral Martin, and a triple decision was reached. First Tbat tbe posts represented indorse and accept the manifesto issued in this city July 2, in which a general attendance at the encampment was to be discouraged if the rail ways did not recede from their positions. Second That the manifesto of July 2 was in accord with the action of the last national encampment at Columbus, O., as Indorsed by the resolution found in the journal on pages 219 and 220. Third That some time in the near future the representatives present will Issue a circular tbat will be signed by eight Department Com manders, with possibly a few more, withdraw ing the departments represented from the parade that is advertised to take place. The resolutions of the Columbus conven tion referred to is as follows: The National Council of administration be, and is authorized and directed to insist upon definite contracts tor transportation rates to the twenty-third National Encampment. It Bhall be tbe duty of the council to demand that a specific maximum rate be fixed, and PLAIN AND SIMPLE TEEMS be made, covering every phase of necessary and proper arrangement. It is ordered that unless just, fair and reasonable contracts for railroad and botel fares be not made, then the council is authorized to fix upon some other location for the encampment. Unless railroads present relief to comrades, the various depart ments will discourage the attendance of all ex cept members. The manifesto of July 2 referred to, is a circular letter prepared and issued by the department officers of Illinois. It was the first indication ot open retaliation and rep resented only Illinois posts. Continued agitation of the matter and the refusal of the railways to concede terms as low as de sired broadened the breach begun by the Illinois veterans. At the present time the disposition against a general attendance is a general one, shared by most ot the West ern posts. To-day's meeting was a result of a desire for definite action. General Martin says there is now not much doubt about the outcome of the fight. "The railway people," he says, "have held us off on one pretext or another, say ing: 'Wait a little longer, we will see what we can do,' until we are tired of waiting. Every department commander here to-day has authority to act for his State posts." A CERTAIN BESULT. "Does it destroy the chances of a big meeting at Milwaukee?" "It looks very much like it We repre sent the States that would have furnished the crowd. If onlv our representatives go, of course, it must virtually kill the encamp ment," General Martin said he did not know when the general order withdrawing the States from the parade would be made. None of the other representatives would ex press views on the time it would be issued.. The Chairman was given the privilege of reassembling the conference at any time. General Martin said that he was receiving from 5 to 20 letters a day indorsing tho sent iment of the manifesto of July 2. The other department commanders talk in much the same way. "There won't be anyone go from In diana," said Commander Travis, "but the delegates. The posts are all thoroughly in dignant. General Lew Wallace, General M. D.Manson, Governor Hovey and others, who were to attend, have told me they would not go." BRICK WORKS. BDENED. A Loss or 84,500 In Last Night's South Thirty-Fourth Street Fire. The brick works of M. Xan & Sons, at South Thirty-fourth and Jane streets, were destroyed by fire last night. Shortly after midnight the sheds caught fire from the en gine. An alarm was struck from station 1S9, but before the arrival of the firemen the blaze had gathered beyond control. When it was finally extinguished the sheds had been destroyed and the machinery badly damaged. The loss is abont 54,500. partially covered by Insurance. The works turned out about lB.OOO.bricks per day. DR. W00LERT DEAD. The President and Past Graduate of Bethany College Expire. Dr. W.H.

In the Con stitutional Convention to-day Bolfe, of Benson county, threw a fire brand by offer ing an amendment to the article on suffrage providing that after five years no man who Is not a full citizen ot the United States shall have a right to rote. This brought the orators to their feet and many opposed tbe amendment. Moer, of Lamoure, could not see why men who in conversation fav ored such a proposition, should not favor it publicly, and intimated that they were afraid of the foreign vote. Tbe theory that all taxes should be collected from the lands, and improvements and personal property be exempt, is popular with many of the del egates. At Helena the Montana convention con sidered and passed the bill on tbe execu tive department. Efforts to reduce State officers' salaries proved fruitless. The suffrage bill, with the amendments by the Committee of the Whole, was next taken up. More desperate efforts were made on behalf of the woman's suffrage order. They were cut short by adjournment. On re-assembling Mr. Toole made a speech against embodying the matter in the Con stitution. The vote on the proposition was a tie, 33 to 33. This relegates the woman's suffrage question to oblivion for the present. The suffrage bill was then submitted as amended and accepted by a vote of 61 to 6. In the Washington convention the section establishing a soldiers' home was passed, unly two delegates voting against it The other clauses, providing that the Legisla ture shall provide for the protection and safe keeping of arms, that militia men shall not be arrested while on duty, and that per sons having conscientious scruples against bearing arms shall not be required to serve in the militia, but shall pay the equivalent for such exemption, were passed. DUQUESNE'S INCENDIARIES. Initial Steps Taken to Guard Against a Rep etition of the Church Burning The Pas tor Is Out In nn Interview. A meeting was held in Duquesne on Mon day evening and a continuance thereof last night, consisting for the most part of mem bers of the congregation of the burned Methodist Church. After some discussion it was pretty generally agreed that appearances were decidedly in fa vor of the incendiarism idea. At 9-20 last night abont a score of persons put in an appearance. The proceed ings were private, bnt one of those who attended supplied the particulars. William Oliver presided. The first subject discussed was the report circulated to the effect that the fire had been occasioned by malice aforethought An agreement could not be reached on this point, but it was evident that the majority of those present believed in the incendiarism theory. Mr. Oliver then stated the various plans for prevention in future of such con flagrations. Among these was a volunteer fire brigade, which didn't seem to take. The next idea was a more feasible one, namely, to pay a night watchman; but of course his attention would be confined to the church alone. This plan was adopted. A short interview was obtained with Bev. Mr. Tannehill, pastor of the burned church. He had no doubt whatsoever that the burn ing was a prearranged affair. When ques tioned as to tbe motive of such a crime, he said: "Plunder was the motive. Several Eeople tried to enter stores and private ouses during tbe excitement caused by the flames, and I have heard that some minor articles were stolen. This is not the first attempt at incendiarism here. A house on the hill was partially burnt and robbed a short time ago. If proper steps were taken the perpetrators could be identified." , TOOK ARSENIC AND DIED. A New York Bookkeeper Gives Up the Struggle for Life. rSriCIAI.

The problem of air navigation is receiving more attention now than ever before. Nor is it "cranks" only who are workingat it Me chanical engineers of abilityand reputation are devoting time and thought to its solution. That some one will work it out at a not very distant day is not at all impossible, nor even improbable. It is simply a question of in creasing power without increasing the weight of the apparatus by which the power is de veloped. Just how much the ratio of power to weight must be increased we do not venture to say, but there are no suffi cient grounds for asserting that such in crease is impracticable. The solution of the problem may be found in improved engines and boilers, or in fuels or in storage bat teries, or in some yet unexplored part of the field of electrical force. It would be rash to predict just how success will be reached, but it would be much more rash to insist that it never will be reached. The successful airship will, it is safe to say, be a large structure, very light in weight compared with its strength, but yet many times heavier than the air it dis places. The mechanical skill which has produced that, marvel of lightness and strength, the modern bicycle, will not find the task of designing such a structure too difficult Attempts to navigate the air by means of gas-inflated receptacles have been persisted in through a hundred years, but no real suc cess has been reached. Such devices, in spite of all the efforts to make them dirigible, are but as feathers in the wind. All such attempts are in the wrong direction. A bird can fly not because it is comparatively light in weight (for.it is not) bnt because it is strong. Its breast muscles, by which its wings are operated, are of immense pro portionate size, and the rapid circulation of blood supplies these muscles with abundant stores of energy. Of all living creatures the vital energies of the bird are the most intense, and it is, therefore, able to produce the power required to sustain its body in, and propel it through, tbe air.
