Over 500 mem bers of the Thirteenth Regiment of Infantry of Brooklyn went out to see the Clevelands defeat Haulon's men from Pittsburg to-day, but they did not see it done. By invitation of the company here the visiting National Guardsmen occupied the grand stand and cheered the Clevelands on to defeat. Every brilliant play that the babies made was ap plauded loudly, and the Pittsburg players were treated fairly. The jolly soldiers kept lip a string of talk with the players all through the game, and the conversation attracted as much attention as the ball playing. Notwithstanding all this, it was a fine game. The Pittsburg team WON- IT ON ITS MEBIT3, and bv doing it took three straight from the Clevelands. something or which they may be proud, as the feat is not an easy one. Tho Clevelands went to the grounds resolved to take at least one game. They made a desperate and creditable attempt. - and died game. Bcckley's big home run drive in the eighth did the.business. IIo caught the ball near the tip of the bat. and it began sailing up. McAleer, in center field, saw that the ball was going to land behind him, so he began sprinting for th o fence. The ball reached the ground while he was vet ten feet away, however, and before it could be fielded in the big first baseman was seated on the players' bench and wiping his leated brown ith a towel. The soldiers ap plauded l.im heartily for the fine hit. Ualvin pitched the game in HIS OLD-TIME FORM. The game opened poorly for Pittsburg. Kuehne conld not hold Radford's grounder in the first, and then threw the ball over Deck le) 'ahead. On the nnsplay Radford took sec ond, and a passed ball cave him third. Strieker sacrificed, bnt Radford was held to third by Howe's close playing. McKcan, however, sent out abase hit, and lucky Panl scored. McKean etole second, and went to third on a passed ball. Whiloho was doing this Twitcbell was piven his base on balls. Ho nas caught off first, bnt despite the efforts of Beckley, Dunlap and Rowe, reached second safely and allowed McKean to reach home It was in the second that Fittsbnrg began business. Fields rapped a stiff grounder to center field, and be went to second and third on outs of Hanlon and Sunday. Kuehne singled to center, and Fields ran in wifh Pittsbure's first run. Dunlap's bae on balls advanced Kuehne a base, and Galvln hit a doublo to right, scoring both men. CAHEOLL'S THEEE-TtAOGEE. Carroll followed with a three-bagger and Galvin scored. Rowe stopped the fun by going out on a grounder. In the third inning Galvin conldn't pitch the ball over the plate while Radford was waiting, and the right fielder went to first. Strieker's single advanced him two bases, and McKean's hit took him home. Twitchell's hit forced Mc Kean ont at second, but Strieker took third and scored on Tabeau's long fly to Hanlon. In the fifth, after Gilks had made an out, Zimmer hit to left for three bases. Gruber could do nothing, but Radford doubled and scored Zimmer. and on Fields' fumble Radford took third. He stajed there, however. In this inning Kuehne rapped out a two-bagger and went tn third on a wild pitch, and home on a single bj Dunlap. There was no more run getting till the eighth, when Bcckley's home run virtually won the game. Score: CLE VEL A'DS E B T A BlriTTSBCRO K B P A X Eailford.r... fctrlcker, I... JIcKean. s TwitchclU..

It is now stated on official authority that the local ball club is losing money and has been doing so at a brisk rate for some time. Yester day afternoon, during a conversation on the subject. Secretary Scandrett said: "Certainly we have lost money, this season and I blame it to the bad schedule arrange ments that compelled tho club to be away from home so long during the good season of the year." "How much is the club out?" was asked "Why, I'm not prepared to state that, but I can say we're out considerably. However, I hope to see the club quit even. I think it will, because wo have a goodly number of home games to play et." Mr. Scandrett went on to say that certainly no more placrs will be released this season ex cept money is offered for them. He said: "I consider that every player we have now is worth money, and if ue cannot sell any of our men we'll keep them." . The statement that tho club is not "even" by any means settles a question that has caused considerable discussion. Secretary Scandrett is not additpd to saying what is not true, and his statement to the effect that the club is con siderably behind financially will be read with regret by all the friends of the club.

The Parnellltes Endeavor to Rebnke the Administration of Balfour. London, August 21. In the Honse of Commons this evening, in the debate on the Irish office vote, Mr. Sexton moved to re duce the vote by the amount of Mr. Bal four's salary. The principles of that Bal four's rule, he said, were a bad administra tion of a bad law, arbitrary use of physical force, and suppression of the truth. The London Times had the whole Government machinery at its disposal during the past year, but the Parnellites were satisfied with the result of the inquiry. So far one con spiracy bad been revealed and another re mained. The 'Parnellites intended to pursue the subject until full light was thrown upon it They would doubtless reveal curious reptiles and strange proceedings. Mr. Parnell sup ported the motion on the ground that Mr. Balfour's policy appeared to be to incite in struments to exceed the law. The motion was rejected, 112 to 83. BLOWN 300 FEET AWAY.

A Sight Passed to a Barren Slope, 10,000 Feet Abors the Sea LeieL Three ladies living at Mt Tabor, Ore., were lost for 24 hours on the summit of Mt. Hood, 10,000 feet above the sea, having lost their way and become separated from their party of mountain climbers. They were of course overjoyed at their rescue. rsrxciAL TExroHAM to Tnx dispatch.! Portland, Ore., August 21 The thrill ing experience of three ladies who were lost on Mount Hood, and could neither reach the top nor the bottom, is reported by a party who have just returned from there. Mount Hood is quite a summer resort, and this year, more than ever before, tents dotted the various streams along the differ ent trails np the mountain, and every house and settler's cabin along the route was filled to overflowing by mountain climbers and summer tourists. Among the many families who went into the mountains to spend the heated term was that of Mr. C. W. Waberg, of Mt. Tabor, who had with him several friends. The past two weeks were spent in the shadow of Mt Hood, at Summit Prairie. Last Friday the younger members of the party started out to gain the summit The partv consisted of three men and six ladies. Crater Bock was reached by five of the party, the others suc cumbing at different points along the mount ain side. THREE "WERE MISSING. The party reaching the summit of Crater Bock did not get back to the teams at the foot of the mountain until 7 o'clock at night, although the ascent was begun at 10 o'clock in the morning. When noses wero counted on arrival at the bottom of the mountain three were missing Miss Sallle Waberg, Mrs. George Bonan and Mrs. Frank Morgan, of East Portland. They were lost somewhere along the mountain. Without delay the remaining ones were driven back to the camp, leaving behind on the mountain two young men, Carey and Ketchum, to build bonfires and fire signal guns. Volunteer help soon arrived from camps, and by 10 o'clock 20 men, with lanterns, dogs and guns nnd horses were scouring every nook and crevice of Mt Hood for the three lost ones. Large signal fires were built at intervals of every quarter of a mile about the south, east and west base of the mountain, and squads of searchers had already encompassed the vast lava fields above the timber line without response to either a halloo or gunshot LOST FOB A DAT. For 24 hours no trace of the lost ones could be found. At midnight, Saturday, away on the eastern slope of the mountain, near White river canyon, the three lost wo men were found, perched npon a large stone, huddled together, with one long pole with an iron pike at the end, which they used as an alpinestock and as a weapon of defense against the panthers and wolves that infest the side of the mountain. They wept with joy when they were found, and gladly recited their adventure of the night ? They had taken the wrong ravine ridge leading from oS the mountain, and had wandered afE Atvarious times they heard tbe screams of the panther and wolf, but wisely kept quiet They were returned to camp by the searching party. They had been on the barren rock, 10,000 feet above the level of the sea, with a fierce cold wind blowing against them, until they were almost frozenjo death. A MYSTERIOUS CANAL It Was Discovered Under the Foundation of a Bank Vault. The men who are occupied with remodel ing and repairing the old building of the First National Bank on the corner of South Twelfth street, discovered a deep canal in the cellar yesterday whose origin is a myft tery. The canal leads under the entire length of the building and the two adjoin ing ones, ending on one side exactly under the foundation of the bank vault The builders found one hole some time ago, but that was accounted for, because several burglars got into the vault through that one about six years ago. But this new hole was unknown before. An attempt was made to find ont where it started, but it was discovered to be so long that the men at last gave it up. It is sup posed, however, that it had been made for the purpose of breaking into the bank, on account of the fact that it ended immediately under the vault. The men are now filling up the hole with cement COWHIDED Br A PBETTI MILLINEE. She Wields a Rawhide Upon Tier Tradncer With Good Effect. rSrXCtlT. TILED HAM TO TUK DISFATCir.1 Paducah.Ky., August 21.

The Executive Committee of the Sunday School Superintendents' Association met yesterday afternoon and appointed a com mittee of two to arrange for a general meet ing of the association, at a time to suit the convenience of Bev. Mr. McKittrick and Mr. Miller, who were delegates to tbe con vention held in London this summer. They were also directed to secure, if possible, the attendance of B. F. Jacobs, of Chicago, a prominent worker and a member of the In ternational Association. A movement is on foot to have the Nation al Sunday School Convention meetin Pitts burg next June, and this matter will probably be taken np by the local associa tion. It Is thought that the Exposition building will furnish good accommodations for the meeting, but City Hall would "do if the other could not be obtained. These conventions are attended by over 1,000 del egates, nnd generally remain in session ten days. They have been a feature of Amer ican Sunday School work, at intervals, for more than "half a century. The first was held in New York in 1832 and the tenth in 1887 at Chicago. It was at tbe meeting in Chicago that action was taken to make the conventions truly inter national by arranging for the co-operation of Sunday school workers all over the world, and the holding of tbe convention at Lon don in June last Each State, Territory and Province is en titled to one delegate for each 40,000 of pop ulation, to be chosen by an international as sociation. B. F. Jacobs, with whom the Pittsburtr committee is to consult, is Chair man of the International Executive Com mittee, and was largely instrumental in se curing the adoption of the international uniform lesson plan. AN ISDeSTKI DISCOURAGED. Sunday Drilling- la Not Allowed on Robinson Oil Wells. Robinson township oil development is somewhat hindered, in the opinion of some people at least, by objections on the part of some natives to worldly employment on. the first day of the week commonly called Sun day, bnt by the followers of John Knox, Sabbath. "Whether on account of striking a mud vein or for some other reason best known to himself, the drilling of the well on the farm of James Moore lately considered it advisable to push the drill on Sunday, a gentleman named Phillips couldn't see the necessity and had the driller taken before a local Solomon, who fined him $25 and costs. Tn the upper oil country Sundaywork 20 years ago was at times considered a necessi ty, but possibly that time has passed since wells are cased, as the casing may be sup rosed to shut off the' flow of mud veins. But in Fithole and Tidioute there was no Judge in Israel in the days spoken of, and every man did that which was right, in his own eyes, and Sunday drilling may or may not have been a necessity. Information Wanted. Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny, received yesterday from the Census Bureau at "Washington a request that he should cause to be forwarded to them, for use in compil ing the statistics for the eleventh census of the United States, the names of the officers making the reports, and the date of making the reports, on the lollowing topicsi Streets, street lighting, street railways, sewers, water works, public buildings, parks, amusements, churches, cemeteries, licenses, government, police, .fire department and bchools.
