The Homo Team "Wins and
Loses a Game.
GALYIN IN GBEAT FORM.
Staley and Eassie Both Touched Up
and Beaten.
THE SENATORS BEAT THE GIANTS.
Boston Again Captures a Good Game From
the Phillies.
GENERAL BApEBALLHEWS OP THE DAI
The home team and the Indianapolis clnb
played two games yesterday afternoon, each
team winning a game. Galvin pitched ex
ceedingly well. The Senators defeated the
Giants, and Boston won if good game. There
were local amateur games of interest.
Mr. Glasscock's delegation of Hoosiers
were not entirely within the charmed circle
yesterday at Recreation Park. They had
aot everything their own way, and to some
extent they were given to understand that
the people are still in and about Pittsburg.
There were two games played between the
visitors and the local club, and those sur
prising folks from Hoosisrdoin really start
ed out in a way that meant a complete
sweeping of decks. They are a very curious
lot of citizens, because no matter what ag
gregation they cannot beat, they evidently
nave made up their minds to try and make
marks or Pittsburg. However, their lucky
wheel was somewhat stopped yesterday.
The two-game idea for one price of admission
worked well yesterday financially, because
there were more than 3,000 people there. The
weather was delightfully flee and the good-sized
crowd felt sure that the home talent would cap
ture both games. However, it is now a matter
of history that these expectations were not
realized. The truth is the Hoosiers are on their
good behavior when here and they do business
without any fooling.
The cames were not bad from a spectators'
point of view, that is, excepting, of course, the
defeat. They were two enjoyable contests,
and with one or two exceptions were very well
played. In the first the home team bad no
more show to win than the visitors had of cap
turing the second.
OETZEIN IN GREAT FORM.
Gctzem was in great shape, and he put the
balls across the plate that in a way reminded
one of his palmy days with Detroit. The
""Pretzel" did well. He was well supported by
both his catcher and the balance of his
colleagues. On the other hand Sta
ley started out very .snaky, and the
visitors landed on to him in a way that made
many hearts weary. He was speedy enoucb,
but the sjuggers from the President's home
touched him up quite merrily. 'They took such
a good lead at the start that the home players
never at all looked like catching them. It
was fortunate that a clean shutout was
not recorded against the home talent.
However, thev averted that calamity.
The visitors were the first to score, and they
commenced that as early as possible. Beery
led off with a fine single to center field, and
reached second on Andrews' hit to right for a
base. A wild pitch sent each man a base for
ward. Manager Glasscock walked np to the
plate and took in the .situation. After taking
a feeler he banged the ball into center field for
a base, sending in the two runs. Denny tried
to crack the ball out of sight also, but Dunlap
got hold of It and threw Glasscock out at sec
ond. The next two men went out in order.
PILING THEM UP.
In the second inning the visitors were even
more dangerous looking than in the first. Mc
Geachy led oft with a corking two-bagger to
left field, and Basset: got his base
on balls. Getzein's out sent both
runners a base ahead. Seery then
fouled out to Miller, and Andrews got his base
on balls. Glasscock's long two-baser sent all
the runs In. That was all the runs that the
visitors got. but tbey were sufficient to win.
In the seventh inninc Denny knocked a terrific
grounder to Staley. The latter tried to get
hold of the oall and it bounded from his hand,
striking him violently on the face. The blow
caused him to retire and Sowders took his
place. There wasn't a hit made off Sowders'
delivery.
The home players could do nothing with Get.
xein and he knew It. Only four hits were
recorded against him and Howe made two of
them. Dunlap led off in the eignth inning and
got his base on balls. A passed ball sent him
to second and he reached third on Sowders'
single to right. Hanlon's short grounder to
Bassett sent Dunlap home, but Sowders was re
tired at second, synch's umpiring did not
give satisfaction.
TFHEBE 'WE WON.
The second game belonged to the home tal
ent from the start. Young Rnssle was in the
box for the visitors, and, it looked as if the
local sluggers were going to knock his life out
In the first inninc He got an awful drubbing.
He soon settled down, however, and did some
good work. He may blossom into a good man.
He has one or two very effective curves at com
mand, and they were puzzlers to the home
talent after the first inning. Galvin pitched in
bis old time form, and made a good hit beside.
The old sport bad the Hoosiers completely at
his mercy, and they were very lucky to escape
a whitewash. Carroll caught a good game.
In the first inning Hanlon got his base on
balls and Rose sent him to third by a splendid
tiro-bagger into left field. Beckley thnmped
out a single to center, sending in two runs. Big
Jake went to second on a passed ball, and
Fields got his base on balls.
xtehne's useful hit.
Carroll sent ont a long fly to McGeachy, and
then 'Willie Knehne knocked a grass scorcher
down the right foul line for two bases, sending
Beckley and Fields home. Sunday fanned the
breeze thrice, and Dunlap sent Kuehne home
by a fine single to right Five runs were scored
and none for the Hoosiers. This was very sat
(factory.
In the third inning Fields got his base on
balls and Carroll sent him to third by a good
single to right field. A passed ball enabled
both Fields and Carroll to score. After Kuehne
bad struck out in the eighth inning Sunday
was hit by a pitched ball and ambled to first.
He went to second on the sacrifice hit of Dun
lap. Old Galvin showed np next and banged
ont a single to right field sendlngSunday home.
In the second Inning Denny led off with a
single to center and reached second on the
sacrifice of Hlnes. Sommers made a good
single and Denny scored. In the fifth inning
Hlnes led off and knocked a high fir to Fields.
It was an easy one bnt Jocko let it drop and
Hines went to second. Sommers struck out
and McGeachy made a single to right. Hines
scoring. A wild throw bv Sunday to Second
base saved McGeachy's life. Bassett' sacrifice
got McGeachy forward a base and then Itusste
knocked a fly to Hanlon which the latter
missed, Russie going safe' to first and Mc
Geachy scoring. Following are the scores:

Tns rniLLiES' protest.
President Vonns; Makes a Clear Statement
About the Boston Trouble.
rSr-XCIAL TELXOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
WAsniNOTON, August 27. "I have received
a protest from the Philadelphia club," said
President Young to-day, "against alio wine
Monday' game to be counted as a victory for
the Bostons, although the former do not claim
the game. The Philadelphia club merely de
sires that the contest shall be declared a tie,
and bases its protest upon the fact that Captain
Kelly took the ball while it was in play and ran
off with It, thus preventing Johnston being put
out at first base. There seems to have been an
oversight in the work of tills usually good
player, and it was a palpable blunder in him for
not rnnning to the base, as required by the
rules after batting the ball. The facts, as stated
in the protest, are that Johnston after making
a safe hit to center, bringing Kelly home,
started for first base, but before reaching the
bag turned to the right and ran among the
crowd. Seeing this action the Philadelphia
players called for the ball and at the same time
invited the attention of the umpires to the
oversight on Johnston's part.
"When the ball was thrown in Kelly grabbed
it and ran toward the clubhouse, regardless ot
the shouts of those present to allow the game
to be played out. It is claimed that Johnston
must be declared out for not going to bis base,
and that the run scored by Kelly must not
count, but the game remain a tie. Once before
in the history of the League this point has
arisen, but the game was played out, and hence
no protest was filed for investigation by the
directors of the League, as will be the case
with this question submitted to me to-day. All
that I can do is to refer the matter to the di
rectors of the League for their action . If they
see fit they may call an extra meeting before the
one at which the question of the championship
will be decided, or they may allow it to go over
until the regular annual meeting. If this con
test has any material bearing upon the solution
of the cnampionafelp problem ah early meeting
of the directors may be deemed advisable."

rSFECIAL TXLZGBAX TO TBX DISFATCH.1
Habtfobd, August 27. The Grand
Circuit races commenced here to-day under
very auspicious circumstances. . The crowd
was large, the track excellent and the sport
first-class. Judging from to-day the meeting
will likely be one of the best ever held here.
There were three events on the programme
and they were all finished. Two of them, the
pace and the 2 -30 trot, each required six heats
to decide them Ed Annan again won the 2:17
pace and a large amount of money, lamina
was well bought In the pools, but Annan was in
very strong demand. He went the mile in the
fourth heat in 2J6J and this seemed to settle
his opponents.
The 20 trot was productive of much specu
lation and good racing. Star Lily, Andy
Welch's horse, was bought heavily in the pools,
and was as good a favorite as Sprague Gold
dust. The Lilv couldn't stay, however, and
Sprague outlasted all the others and won the
last three heats straight off the reel.
The 222 trot was a good thins for Geneva.

tSrSCIAL TXLXQRAH TO THX rAsrATCH.l
Philadelphia, August 27. An acci
dent at the last moment to-day prevented
the final and official test of the guns of the
pneumatic dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.
Everything was in readiness for the crucial
trial of the rapidity of the dynamite plun
gers, and both the builders of the vessel,
the Messrs. Cramp, and the board
of naval officers appointed to pass judg
ment on the VesVyius' guns were anxious
that the exhibition should come off. The
accident occurred at 11 o'clock in the fore
noon. President Schuyler, of the company
which manufactured the Vesuvius' guns,
and several of his experts had gone aboard
the fleet cruiser for the purpose of having a
preliminary trial, and seeing that every
thing was in readiness for the event
of the day, these gentlemen were en
gaged in. firing air shots when it was discov
ered that the buffers which receive the
shock of the main valve when it moves to
the rear in the breech of the gun to admit
the air to the gun barrel, needed oyer
haullng. i
These buffers have been subjected bVa
severe and long continued pounding during
the experiments for the adjustment oi the
firing valves, hundreds pf air shots having
been fired for that purpose. While it is In
only one of the three guns that this weaj
nest showed itself, the contractors have r

BEAUTIFUL IMPROVEMENTS.
The S3,600 Pipe Orson In the Sontbslde
Presbyterian Cbnrch Prosramme for
Its Dedication Next Sabbath.
The Presbyterian Church, on the corner
of Sarah and Twentieth streets, Sonthside,
has recently undergone extensive repairs
and adornment. It was necessary to close
the chnrch for the month of August, and
turn it over to the workmen. The entrance
and stairway of th&church have been painted
a beantiful buff color with a rich, dark
border. In the audience room a complete
transformation has taken place. The walls
and ceiling have been magnificently
frescoed, the gothic design has been strictly
followed. The tints used are cream, gold
and blue. There has been a general over
hauling of the pews, all of them have been
repaired and made more comfortable. The
rostrum has been raised, and it will be
richly carpeted with velvet brnssels. A
splendid oak pulpit, which is a marvel of
the woodcutter's art, will be placed there
on. Around the choir there will be a solid
ornamented brass rail, from which a brown
plush curtain is to be suspended. The cost
of this part of the decorations is $1,600. At
the east end of the church there stands a
fine Bosevelt pipe organ, costing $3,500.
The instrumentconsists of 1 pedal bourdon,
1G feet stop, 5 great organ stops, 7 stops on
the swell, 4 combination pedals, and tremu
lant. One of the special features ot this
organ, is that the great and swell organ,
except the opera diapason, are
in the same box. There are
also foot pedals, swell piano,
forte, great to pedal, reversible, great to
piano, and great to forte. A water motor
is attached to tbe organ. Eosevelt has incor
porated into it his patent wind chest, which
makes a wind chest of every pipe. By this
process the old system of trackers and
stickers are done away with, except on the
pedals. The case is antique oak, and it is
strikingly pretty. The pipes are decorated
to match the internal arrangements; light
terra cotta, bine and gold. There are 9S0
pipes.
The programme for the recital next Fri
day includes well known works, and these
will be. executed by equally eminent per
formers. Offertory, C. C. Jlellor; solo,
"Soldiers of the Cross," TV. M. Bulloers;
duet, "I felt an Angel Spirit:" organ solo
gavotte, Bachman; march. Calkin; solo,
"Tree Fishers, Hullah," "by Miss Edith
Harris; solo, "Santa Maria," Mr. Wolfe;
organ solo, Pastorate and Offertory, "Weley.
In the second part a number of fine songs
and organ solos will be produced.
The steeple of the church has been
strengthened at a cost of $600; timbers have
been stretched across the inside, so as to
keep it from being wrecked by any-unusual
wind flurry. The church was painted out
side at a cost of $300. A sidewalk around
the chnrch has been laid, at a cost of $250.
Tbe total expenditures for improvements is
about $6,000.
The church will be reopened for service on
Sunday. An organ recital will take place
on August 30.

A Little Girl Makes a Somewhat Startling
Announcement.
Lewlston Journal.!
A Lewiston lady was talking about taking
some delegates for entertainment at a recent
convention in this city and while under dis
cussion her little girl was full of the wide
awake interest of childhood.
"What shall I cook for them and what
will they eat?" were the questions of the
Lewiston lady.
"Oh they will eat anything," was the re
ply. Give them enough plain food and they
will take care ot it.
Soon after, the door bell rang. "Mamma,
"mamma," cried the little damsel tugging
excitedly at her mothers dress and hasten-,
ing her toward the" door. "Oh hurry, I
think that some of the alligators have
come."

Something Mysterious Happens to Pment a Larger
Turnout. '
Instead of 35,000 veterans in line at the
G. A. B. parade in Milwaukee yesterday,
there were but 12,000." A falling out of some
kind caused this comparatively poor show
ing. Michigan, for instance, turned out
only 350 men. General Alger is still lead-,
ing for Commander.
rsractu, Tzr.zoB.ax to trz ctsraTcn.l
Milwaukee, August 27. The kicking
commanders got in their, deadly work on tbe
G. A. B. parade, to-day. Wisconsin bad
over 5,000 men in line, but other depart
ments showed up rather slim. Illinois, that
was expected to equal the Wisconsin crowd,
had less than 1,200 men in line; Iowa Jess
than 300, and Minnesota about 300. Michi
gan had but 350 veterans in the parade.
The total number ot veterans in line fell
below 12,000. On the other hand, the
parade moved promptly and was one Of the
best ordered ever seen. General Sherman
was very complimentary in his remarks
about it, saying to Commander-in-Chief
Warner tha,t he had not seen a finer display
since the grand review in Washington 24
years ago.
The march was three miles in length,
reaching through the principal streets of
the city. The weather was a trifle warm,
but no cases of sunstroke are reported. A
few veterans became a trifle leg-weary, but
there were plenty of Bed Cross ambulances
along the line to pick them up.
FEATURES OF THE PAEADE.
First came the Light Horse squadron to
clar the street, the troopers all dressed in
full uniform and well mounted. Next came
the escort of Commander-in-Chief Warner.
At the head marched Frank P. Blair Post,
of St. Louis, with platooa fronts, as finely
dressed as regulars, and all in uniform.
Behind the post came the Commander-in-Chief,
monnted upon a handsome
charger, and receiving generons ap
plause from the crowds that were
closely packed around the reviewing
stand as far as the eve conld reach. Maior
Warner was attended by his numerous staff
r.it a v i ..-:-: j;.
auu juiiuwcu ujr cartiagea cuuuumug uia-
tingut8hed guests. In the rear seat of the
first carriage sat General W. T. Sherman
and General John C. Bobinson, of New
York, while facing them were Secretary
Busk and Governor Hoard. As the familiar
features of the great General were seen
cheer alter cheer went up along the line of
march.
. OENEBAL SHERMAN'S OTATIOK.
A halt was made at the grand stand. The
Commander-in-Chief dismounted and took
his position, being vociferously cheered as
he did so. General Sherman made his way
to the stand followed by tbe other occupants
of the carriage, while the stand, and even
the ground, shook with the acclaims of the
patriotic throng. Then the column re
sumed its march.
Following the long line of posts came a
carriage of the Bed Cross Society, contain
ing Miss Clara Barton, the head of the so
ciety, and assistants, and followed by an
other ambulance.
The third division included Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York. The Pennsylvanias
presented a fine appearance. Lysle Post, of
Allegheny City, was accompanied by a min--iatnre
battery, with a company of boy can
noneers. Commander Clark, of New York,
headed his' department, which turned out
aboutl50 men.
SOME DELEGATIONS SMALL.
Thus division after division and post
after post passed along. The largest body
from Michigan was Phil Kearney Post, of
Muskegon, behind which marched General
Alger. Then came a sboal of smaller posts
and departments. The banners of almost
every State and Territory in the Union
were counted, though, of course, some of
the delegations were very small. The b'ig
Badger turnout closed the line. It was
over 5,000 ttrong. Finally, after a march
of nearly three hoars, a division composed
of some 300 Sons of Veterans closed the line,
and the parade was over.
General Sherman, Mrs. Logan, and Commander-in-Chief
Warner occupied the front
of the reviewing stand. About them stood
Secretary Busk, Governor Hoard, Mrs.
Alger, and any number of G. A. B. digni
taries. General Sherman looked very tired
after standing bareheaded for so long, but
stuck it out He was continuously cheered
from one end of the line to the other.
ALL DIDN'T TTJEN OUT.
While the number of men in the parade
did not meet expectations, it must be re
membered that there were at least 5,000
veterans in town who took no part in it.'
Railway officials estimate that there are at
least 130,000 strangers in Milwaukee to
night. At least 250,000 viewed the grand
parade. Thousands of people left the city
this evening.
In the Piankinton parlors this evening,
Commander in Chief Warner was presented
with an elaborate diamond badge by the
members of his staff. The presentation wa3
made by Commander Thomson, and Major
Warner replied briefly but appropriately.
Adjutant General Weigil was presented with
a handsome gold watch, and Quartermaster
General Taylor with a Loyal Legion emblem.
Mrs. Logan, General' Sherman and General
Alger were present during the presentation.
Immediately afterward the department of
Illinois appeared at the hotel in a body, and
escorted Mrs. Logan to the Court House,
where she held a large reception. She was
at once recognized on emerging from the
hotel, and was cheered in the most entbsias
tio manner by the vast crowds in the streets.
THE EVENING CAMPFIRE3.
k Overflowing central campfires were held
to-night at Westfide Turner Hall and Light
Horse Squadron Armory, beside a dozen
minor ones. It was expected that General
Sherman would speak at both the principal
campfires, but he failed to appear at either.
At' Westside Turner Hall Mayor
Brown delivered an address of wel
come, and Commissioner oi Pensions
Tanner responded. Commander-in-Chief
Warner presided and made a brief address.
There was along list of speakers, mostly
State Department officers. General Lucius
Falrchild presided at the other campfire. A
monster war song concert, attended by 5,000
veterans and others, was given in a large
tent in Juneau Park.
OHIO FOE ALGER.
Mcst of the State delegates met in caucus
to-night on the choice of a:commanderrin
chief. The New England delegations met
jointly, and while no vote was taken, it was
informally agreed to support Judge Veascy,
of Vermont, for commander-in-chief. Min
nesota also voted to support him. Ohio and
Illinois decided to support Bussell A.
Alger, of Detroit.
and the former
State will present
of Illinois, as
his name, instead
at first decided.
Michigan's caucus
also decided to
support her home candidate. New Yorfc's
delegation adjourned without teaching a
conclusion, and the Pennsylvanians did not
commit themselves. The choice for next
place of meeting lies between Washington,
Boston and Saratoga.
The Pennsylvania caucus to-night in
dorsed Captain William McClelland, of
Allegheny City, for Member of the Council
of Administration.

time it seemed that the flames would de
vastate the space inside the prison walls,
wnicn is crowaea witn tactory ouuaings.
The scenes at the penitentiary were excit
ing. The prisoners were, locked in their
cells, bnt lights bad not 'been pnt out, and
the greatest consternation prevailed. Thous
ands of people assembled outside the walls
and watched the conflagration.
The greatest excitement prevailed also
among those working inside the walls. Ad
joining the chair factory was the gas works,
which supply all the. State buildings with
gas. The gasometer, containing many feet
of gas, was scorched by the flames and
an explosion was momentarily expected,
but fortunately averted. The fire was un
der control at 9 o'clock. Thomas F.fKern,
Assistant Superintendent of Fire Alarm;
George Snydam, city fireman, and Daniel
G. Sheridan, a member of the prison fire
department, were in the warehouse when the
roof fell in. The men were rescned promptly.
Kern and Snydam sustained slight inju
ries. Sheridan did not fare so well. He had
a gash eight inches long cut in his head,
and his back and left arm injured. He
will probably recover. Sheridan is a Ham
ilton county prisoned.
The total loss willaggregate abont$95,000;
of this loss about $20,000 is on the build
ings, which were owned by the State, and
on which there was no insurance.
A FIGHT FOP. AN OLD FLAG.
Baltimore Having Trouble to Borrow the
Star-Spa mled Banner.
. tSPZCIAL TXUEQBAM TO THE DISPATCn.J
Balttmobe, August. There is just
the liveliest kind of a row over the Star
Spangled Banner made immortal by
Fraueis Scott Key. Hon. Francis P. Stevens,
Vice President of the Exposition Association,
requested Eben Appleton, of New York, in
whose possession the old flag now is, to loan
it to Baltimore, so that it 'might
be displayed during the grand parade
at the time of the Exposition, but Mr.
Appleton declined. Mr. Stevens even sent
representatives of the Key family to the old
gentleman to impress upon him that the
celebration would be almost a failure if the
banner was missing. Mr. Appleton, how
ever, was firm, and declined to accede to
Mr. Stevens' request.
All other means having failed, Mr.
Stevens will now go to Washington and ask
the Government's interference. In 1874 the
late Commodore Preble obtained it for exhi
bition at Boston, before the Massachusetts
Historical Society. The last time it was
uncovered to the public was in October,
1860, in this city, during the sesqui-cen-tennial
celebration.

GUN WA, An Educated Chinese Physician,
who cannot under the American laws practice medicine, has a line of prepared t
Chinese herb and vegetable specifics for the cure of various, diseases, which he sella
for a small sum. They are quick to act, perfectly harmless, pleasant to take and
never fail to cure. Among the diseases which these remedies quickly cure are Can
cer. Tumors, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Catarrh, Female Weakness, Paralysis, Bron
chitis and Lung Troubles, Seminal Weakness and all Blood and Chronic Diseases. ,,
NO CHARGE FOR ADVICE OR CONSULTATION, as Gun Wa does ,
not practice medicine. A friendly talk costs nothing. If you cannot call write to .
Gun Wa, inclosing 4c stamps, for a history of his life or a circular on Cancer.
Rheumatism, Catarrh, Piles, Female Weakness, Tapeworm, or his book (for menff
only) on private and nervous diseases.
GUN "WA WILL CURE YOU.
or tell you in all kindness that he cannot, but all of the above mentioned troubles ,
which Gun Wa calls "AMERICAN DISEASES" (they having been mastered '
and eliminated in his country) quickly and permanently yield to these Nature's -Cures,
which are the result of thousands of years of research and study in the home
of confucius and are considered positive specifics among the upper and educated
classes it: the Celestial Empire.
THPUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS are sent daily to Gun Wa, whose, cel
ebrated Chinese Vegetable Medicines are recognized the world over by their healing .
and life-giving qualities. They are made of rare medicinal herbs, imported from
China for this sole purpose, and are not in use nor known to any physician la thov
United States. Gun Wa is not allowed to practice hia profession nor to visit 'the
sick, as his limited knowledge of the English language prevents his graduating ia
any of the American colleges of medicine. He has, however, a merchant's privilege'
to sell his remedies. Call in and see his handsome oriental parlors at 940 Penn ave
