Xew Tork Wins Two Games From the
SenatorsBoston Beaten.
GENERAL BASEBALL KEWS OF THE DAT
The local club won a most exciting game
from the"Hoosiers yislerday. Eleven runs
were made in the ninth inning. Morris
was knocked out of the box, and so was
Boyle. " Hew York won two games irom the
Senators, and Boston was beaten. There
were general other exciting contests.
Just as the shades of evening were top
ping the Allegheny hills yelterday Henri
Boyle, the statuesque pitcher of the
Eoosiers, was emphatically given to under
stand that the Pittsburg baseball aggrega
tion are the people. Henri was knocked
into smithereens amid one ot the wildest
scenes of excitement ever given on the local
ball ground. Before the local slnggers were
through with him he was battered clean out
of the box on to third base and all his at
titudes were pounded out of shape. Poor
Henrit He had a very bitter taste ol the
thorny side of lite, and bad to be relieved by
that bappy and agricultural-looking personage,
John Glasscock.
Ob, what a game it was and its wind up will
find a prominent place amopg the baseball
annals of Pittsburg. The 600 or 700 people who
saw it will all undoubtedly have husky voices
to-day. Just at the last moment when defeat
seemed to be encircling the home players with
a fiendish delight the home fellows
l.pT LOOSE LIKE LIONS
after slumber and scattered disaster among
the ranks of the Boosters ev,n more terrifi
cally than did Samson with the ass' jawbone.
No less than 11 runs were thumped ont in the
ninth inning. When the inning started the
score stood 7 to 3 in favor ot the men from
Hoosierdom. Many disgusted patrons of the
local team left the grounds, fully believing that
the visitors were, Pittsburg's Jonahs without
any doubt about it. They had Dattered the
life out of Morris in the early part of the game
and certainly they deemed themselves
something more than ordinary people.
Before the inning was over, however, they
were taught a lesson as to the uncertainties of
human affairs, and they won't forget that les
son, either. Boyle began the inning in the box,
and he finished it looking after third base,
while Manager Glasscock tried his hand at
pitching, and Denny looked after Glasscock's
usual position. What an inning it was! During
its progress men, women and children and the
dignified representatives of the press were
jumping and yelling as it a world full ot laugh
inc gas was operating. Several times Umpire
Lynch had to call a bait until the pandemonium
was quieted down. Bnt
THE FUN TVENX ON
and continued until 17 men had been at bat
and the score run up to 11 runs. During the
inning there were three two-base" hits made,
one triple, one home run. four singles, three
bases on balls, one man hitby a pitched ball
and two men cot to first on fumbles.
The game was one of the slugging kind from
the start. The visitors, however, did their
slugging in the early part of the came, and the
home talent did theirs near the end. Morris
started in to pitch fur the local teim. but the
fourth Inning settled him. He was at that
stage touched up for five hits, including a two
bagcer and a triple. Manager Hanlon then
put Sowders In. and only two more hits were
made. Morris seemed to pitch with his usual
cunning, bnt the Hoosiers had his measure,
and no matter where be put tne ball they
banged it out. Sowoerswas a great change,
and Tie pitched admirably, showing excellent
judgment. Boyle pitched in his best form un
til that extraordinary inning, when he com
pletely collapsed. Miller's home run settled
him, and doubtless at that stage Henri's Inner
most wish would be: "I would that I were
dead." The fielding on both sides was good.
In the seventh inning Sowders bit Bassett ter
rifically on the arm, and the second baseman
retired in the eighth, Andrews taking his place
and Sommers going to center field,
BUN GETTING 8TABTED.
The visitors were first to score. After Seery
had been struck out Andrews made a single
and stole second. Glasscock's single hit to
right sent Andrews borne. The manager was
nabbed steal'ne second, and Denny was put
ont at first. In the third" inning the visitors
began to touch Morris np in earnest. After
Boyle was ont singles by Seery and Glasscock,
a stolen base and Denny's two-bagger earned
two more runs.
Then the fourth inning came. Buckley led
off tnd reached first on a wild throw by White.
MsGeachy knocked out a double, and Bassett
sent out a triple to right. These hits, together
with a wild pitc"i. two outs and three singles
sent in four more runs. A change of pitchers
took place at this stage, and the visitors scored
no more.
In the second inning White led off for the
home players and rapped out a good single to
center. Miller flew out to Seery and Dnnlap
made a fine two-bagger to rignt. White scored
on Morris' sacrifice and Dnnlap got homo on
Hanlon's single. In the sixth inning Carroll
led off with a three-bagger and scored on
Fields' long fly to Andrews.
. THAT TVOHDEEFDI. INNING.
Nothing more of note was done untd the ninth
inning, which Dunlap opened. As he walked to
the plate Big Jake Beckley shouted something
about wanting seven runs. The request evi
dently had some effect for Dunlap knocked out
a single to middle field. Sowders followed with
another to right Dunlap going to third. Han
lon whacked out another to left and Dnnlap
scored. Then the yelling started and the noise
became as deafening as the warwhoops of ten
tribes of Indians when Rowe got to first on a
fumble by Andrews. Beckley certainly was
under the influence ot his seven run idea
when he walked up to the plate. He
looked at the three men on bases, then at Boyle
and spat on his well-developed hands. With
one of bis gigantic swings be thumped the ball
cfear over the center fielder's bead for a three
bagger, sending in the three runs that tied the
score. Oh! the noise that followed. Poor
Glasscock looked as If he bad taken an over
dose of red pepper. Carroll came next ana
reached first on Denny's fumble, Beckley scor
ing the winning run. There was more to come.
Fields went up and banged the ball against the
left field fence fort o bases. Deacon White
kept up the fun by knocking another double to
right and Carroll scored, Jbields stopping at
third. There was still nobody out.
THE LITTLE MIGHTY MIDGET.
Miller was next on the programme and he
capped the climax by thumping the ball clean
over the left field fence. The Indian war
whoops were again resounding over the Butler
county hill. This was too much tor poor
Henri Boyle and be looked languidly at Mr.
Glasscock. The latter showed his sympathy
by taking the ball from Boyle and going into
the oox himself. Dnnlap came to bat the
second time and Glasscock cave him his base
on balls. Sowders made bis second bit of the
inning. Hanlon was tbo first victim as Hines
nabbed his grounder. Sowders was off second
and was caught between second and third.
Rowe got his base on balls and Beckley sent
both him and Dunlap home by a long two
bagger to right. Carroll next got his base on
balls and Fields was hit by a pitched balL Ibe
fun was ended by White knocking a grounder
toAndiews who threw Fields out at second.

GLASSCOCK'S FUNNY EXCUSE.
The Hoosler Manager Explains How He
Lost Yesterday' Game.
Manager Glasscock expressed a somewhat
strange and amusing opinion last evening about
yesterday's game. "It was my fault for losing,"
he said. "Had I pnt Denny or mysolf to sec
ond base when Bassett was injured, we might
have won. Of course Boyle was touched up a
little but that mistake of mine did the trick."
This is interesting in view of the fact that
Andrews who was sent to second only had one
error there. Second basemen cannot get balls
that go over or against the fence. Boyle said
that he pitched as well as ever he did, and still
the Pittsburgers were pounding the ball ont.
While Glasscock was expressing the above
opinion be was sitting in the corridor of the
Hotel Anderson. A gentleman sitting next
him remarked:
'Mr. Glasscock, ain't these games fixed just
toTnake a see-saw race of it so that the public
will get excitedf
U lasscock's look ough t to have scared the life
ont of the questioner. "No, sir." said the man
ager. "Do you think that I or any of us would
be in the game getting our heads, legs, ribs
and fingers broken if it was a fixed business?
However, I ought not to answer such ques
tions." League Reeod.

AEEESTS BI WHOLESALE.
A Job-Lot Business Done Among tbo Mc
Keesport Speak.Ensle.
Assistant County Detective Patrick Mur
phy and a large posse of officers have drawn
a drag-net through McKeesport and have
raked in 19 alleged proprietors ot speak
easies, while nearly as many more got
away. It is sale to say that it requires
more strategy to get a nip in that city, out
side of the licensed establishments, than
the stuff is worth, unless the seeker be a
chronic who thinks the search worth any
sacrifice imaginable.
Informations have been quietly accumu
lating at Alderman Gripp's office for weeks,
as places could be spotted, but the net was
not drawn until it was well filled. Some of
the intended victims succeeded in getting
through the meshes. At John Conroy's
place the raiders found a number of women
who proved to be regular Amazons, and
fought vigorously until two of them were
felled and rendered senseless. Several men
were severely maced by the officers. Con
roy succeeded in escaping.
The names of those arretted are: Joseph
Both, Conrad Houseman, William Dean, Mrs.
Ztmcrman, Louis Winkleman, Mrs. Flaherty,
John Higgins, .Daniel Butler, Frank Logan,
Sarah Reese. W. F. Hunter, Ed Frltchle,
Frank Fenlgat. John Havelin. Mrs. Thomas
Knee. A. Delaconrt, Mrs. Peter Spiehlman,
Mrs. Breitlnger and Mrs. Passmore.
All but one succeeded in furnishing bail
promptly, an official stating that it seemed
as the raided bad covered their shorts in
this respect, in anticipationof being raided.
Tbe one who failed to have bail readr was
in jail but a few minutes until he too found
relief and enlargement
A CAR LOAD OF NAILS.
They Were 'Sent to Johnstown, but the
Donors Did Not Knew It.
W. E. Thompson, Treasurer of the Johns
town Belief Fund, yesterday received the
following letter from the Oliver and Robert
"Wire Company:
"On the 6th day of June last, we shipped to
Jas. B. Scott, chairman, Johnstown, Pa., a car
load of wire nails to be used by the committee,
and on the same day we wrote to tbe com
mittee of the Chamber o.Commerce tendering
.these nails as a donation. Wehave never
received any acknowledgment directly or in
directly, and we do not know whether the
nails reached their destination or not. Will
you kindly look the matter up'and ascertain;
and if they did, have the value of them (which
we believe was f649) credited to the Pitts
burg subscriptions. We do not care personally
for any credit, but we want everything that
went from this city to count. We dislike to
trouble yon with the matter, but we do not
know to whom else to write. You can refer It
to the proper party." ..
Mr. Marvin, who acted a Chairman of
the Purchasing and Shipping Committee
during the worn of the Belief Committee,
said yesterday that the ear of nails had
been received and forwarded to Johnstown,
where they were properly distributed.
Oliver & Boberts were given credit for the
donation at the time tbe nail were received.

Sporting'.
Jack Dempsey states that a chance blow
knocked him out Tbe Marine states differ
ently. They may fight again. Alcryon
wbn the big stake at Hartford. There ia
litigation concerning Longfellow, the
famous stallion,
San Fbancisco. August 28. The blow
which sent Jack Dempsey to the floor in
the thirty-second round last night and lost
him the battle with la. Blanche, was a ter
rifio right-hand swing, which landed
squarely on the Nonpareil's nose. The
champion of 0 battles fell like a shot,
striking fiat on his face and lay there limp
and bleeding. He rose twice to his hands
and knees and blood poured upon the floor.
He went down helpless and then rose again
a dazed and bewildered man. One hand
went up as (appealing to the crowd or
referee, and then he staggered to his feet
with a game effort, but had to seek the ropes
to keep his feet and hang there. Ten seconds
bad passed and La Blanche had paid back the
old score and won $o,000. He stood in his cor
ner smiling.
As soon as he. conld get hi senses Dempsey
staggered into La Blanche's corner fell upon
the victor's neck and asked imploringly:
"You'U give me another nght, won't your
THET SHOOK. HANDS.
Upon receiving an assent he tottered over to
one of the directors of tbe club and repeated:
"He'll give me another fight; he'll give me an
other fight. You hear it, he'Ilglve me another
fight;" and be seemed to recover bis equi
librium when he was sure of a return battle,
and went over and shook hands with the win
neragn. Both principals retired to their
dressing rooms at the close ot the fight.
La Blanche said to a group ot friends: "They
call it a chance blow, but I had things all right,
anyhow. I was not punished and 'not dis
tressed. I was also as strong as he. He asked
for a return battle, and I have agreed to give it
to him. I feel about as good as a man usually
does who wins $5,000 and has nothing. I have
fought bard all my life for what Phave won.
Am I better than when I was licked by him be
fore? Well, I haven't been fooling aronnd all
this time not to learn anything; have If I de
termined after that defeat that I would never'
rest nntlM wiped it out. and to-night 1 wiped It
nut and it is about the happiest evening of my
life."
DETEAT BROKE HI3I TTP.
Dempsey took defeat sorely. When he
reached his dressing room be sat down on a
lounge and sat gazing at the floor. His nose
was double Its usual size, and of mixed red And
bine tint. As a physician stepped forward to
tbe examination of the fallen champion be
gave no sign of having seen him. Dempsey
shook his head mournfully and said: "He will
never give me another show. I asked blm if he
would, and be said yes. bnt I am afraid he will
never let me have another go." "You were not
down ten seconds. You were on the ropes in
seven seconds. It wasn't fair," broke in Denny
Costigan his trainer.
"Don't say that Denny," Dempsey replied,
"tbe judges said It was ten and it must be so.
I was in such good condition too."
"You are still middleweight champion. Jack,
and you'll get plenty of fights," remarked
young Mitchell.
"What's the championship." replied Demp
sey. "It meant $6,000 to me, and then I've gone
down. They'll never give me another match."
"Yes we will," said Mitchell vigorously.
This seemed to raise the former champion.
"Get me another fight. Bother championship
of any weight at all, only give me another. I
had the fight In hand, and was making it a
waiting one. w nen we got togetner J. saw tne
blow coming, bnt could not get away from it.
I suppose I was careless."

Alcyron Defents the Great Favorite Nelson
and WlnstheBtcEvent Large Amount
ofMonev Lost afid Won Other
Favorites Beaten.
rsr-KCTAL TXLEOBJLM TO TtrSSIgPXTCH.l
Haetfobd, August 23. For the past six
years the Charter Oak guarantee stake has
been tbe interesting trotting event of the grand
circuit This year has found no abatement in
the interest, and the facilities for handling a
big crowd at the Park were taxed to the utmost
this afternoon. Weather and track good.
The sensational stallion Nelson was thought
to be fast and reliable to capture the necessary
three heats and the lion's share of the stake,
while a few speculative turfmen thought that
tbe field contained one or two horses that could
give blm a great race. The gray Alcryon stood
highest in public estimation, while the gelding
"Jack" had some friends also. The betting be
fore tbe race indicated how Kelson stood for
the money poured in on him at odds of about 6
to 3 against tbe field, and when be flew away
and won the first heat in 2Ui his backers
stood by him more firmly than ever.
Tbe next heat saw one of the most complete
transformations that ever occurred on the
trotting turf, for Nelson had lost his marvel
ous flight and was beaten in the last few yards
by Alcryon. After that the field stock took
the place that his had formerly occupied, and,
when the gray stallion repeated his perform
ance in the third mile, be at once ruled the
betting. Another .heat ended matters, for
Alcryon was much superior to the outsider,
while Nelson was more badly off than ever. It
is the first time In the history of tbe race that
so great a favorite was thrown down, and the
excitement was great in proportion.
The other two events of the afternoon,
though overshadowed by the stake, were not
lacking in quality or Interest. For the 2.30
class such cracks as Marie Jansen, Rajah and
Susan were scratched,but the slower field were
well matched and it required six heats before
Maud Muller was able to bring matters to an
end. Tbe Poughkeepsie mare Constance
started well with two heats and a second of
221, bnt she made a misstep in tbe fourth
which crippled her so that she had to slow and
see the flag fall long lief ore she conld get to it.
Tbe New York me Fredericks has Improved
greatly in Goldsmith's hand and made a strong
bid for the fifth heat, but she is not yet quite
steady for close finishes. The 2W class saw
another favorite defeated when Farmer Boy
walked off with first money in straight heats,
leading bis field all through. Amy Lee, who
on public form was backed at odds, was only
able to get near Father Daly's trotter in tbe
last hear. Farmer Boy made a new record for
himself of 2:20 in tho second heat, and put
all the miles in quite fast time. Summaries:

LONGFELLOW IN DISPUTE.
The Owners of the Famous Stallion Have a
DlUunderstnndlng.
Chicago, August 28. Longfellow, the racing
stallion, has had a receiver appointed for him.
The receiver was named by Judge Tuthill at
the suit of one of the owners'of the blooded
horse. Louis N. Schoe'nfeld. of New York,
filed a bill in the Circuit Court two days ago
against James D. Speers, of Evansville. Ind.,
who is bis partner in the ownership ot Long
fellow. He asked foe an accounting and ap
pointment of a receiver. It was not until last
evening that Speers and tbe horse were found.
Service was tben secured on tbe man while the
horse was confiscated by Wallace D. Woone,
who in the-meanttme had been made receiver.
Bcboenfeld says be and Speers and Frank
Jones, of EvansvllU, bought -the horse In 1684
for to,000. In 1885 Jones sold out his interest
and it came into the possession of Schoenfeld.
making him owner of two-fifths, while Speers
owned the balance. Speers. Schoenfeld says,
has traveled with tbe horse, but has not ac
counted to him since November, 1SS7, and has
always represented that the receipts have not
been equal to the expenses.

THE SUNSET QF LIFE.
Eightieth v Anniyersary of Oliyer
Wendell Holmes Birth.
A QUIET BUT WELL-SPENT LIFE.
Some Beminiscences of His College Days
and His Work.
HE ADMIRES HANI OF HIS OWN POEMS.
Mistaken Popular Impression as to Wtlch Was the
First One Published.
To-day is the eightieth anniversary of the
birth of the poet, Oliver "Wendell Holmes.
He will spend the day quietly at his coun
try residence, Brierly Tanns. Yesterday
he talked very freely regarding his life and
works, and while recognizing that he is
near the sunset of life, is still very cheerful.
Boston, August 28. To-morrow marks
the eightieth anniversary of the birth of
Oliver "Wendell H limes. He is at hi coun
try home, Beverly Farms, and there the
day will be passed amid the congratulations
and kind wishes of those who will call or
write, and those who will never call nor
write, but think of him. He will see the
sun rise and set npon a day which marks a
long life, a good life, and a life full of well
done work. When he was asked if he was
aware that any preparations had been made
for the celebration of tbe day, he replied:
C "No, no. I suppose you know that with
in the past year or two I have encountered
bereavements which have made me long for
quiet more than formerly, and then, too. I
am getting to be an old man. If my friends
call I shall receive them, of course; indeed,
my house is always open, but I do not ex
pect many people will come. I shall no
donbt receive many letters, and possibly a
few expressions of what little esteem people
have for me, but there will be no celebra
tion. I don't want one. I will be 80 years
old, that is all."
The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table always
has a kindly welcome for newspaper men.
It is not as with "Whittier, who was a news
paper writer himself, but rather because of
his unchanging geniality, his eternal good
nature and a tinge or that old-fashioned
courtesy now going out of existence.
A VZBY QUIET LIFE.
He said he could not tell the story of his
me. "X don't Know bow to tell it; but if
you win asK me questions l will answer
them. My life has been a quiet one. It
has been very quiet. No; there are no in
cidents or events in it that X can recall now.
Indeed, I have lived a very quiet life."
There was something quiet, undefinable
in the way he said that, certainly it wag not
regret Jthat his 80 year had been without
startling incident, nor was it pride. Then
he was reminded that someone has quoted
him as saying in his advancing age hefthas
been forced to the conviction that though he
has devoted the better part of his years to
the science of anatomy and physiology, he
must base his claim -to note upon his
literary productions. "Ah, that is un
true," not a word of it is
true, I never said such a thing
in my life. I would not say it, anyway, I
have written much and 1 have studied all
my life. No; I could not have said that I
may have said some time that my writing
had brousrht mv name more prominentlv
forward than my attention to the science of
anatomy, but I never said that my fame
rested npon the work of my pen. I prac
ticed medicine in Boston for a number of
years, so that I know quite well what actual
practice is."
HIS FIBSX PUBLISHED POEM.'
Popular understanding has gone forth
into the world announcing that the first
published poem of Holmes was that one
which he wrote in 1830, when it was pro
posed to break up the old. frigate Constitu
tion, and commencing with the lines
"Ah, tear her tottering ensitrn down.
Long bas it waved on high."
"Upon the authority of Dr. Holme him
self, this "popular understanding" is de
nied. "It was not until quite recently that I
knew myself which one of my poems was
the first
rst one published," he said. "I had
my secretary look the matter up, and I
found that the first two were "The Last
Leaf" and "The Height of the Eidiculou,"
one was published in 1830 and the ther in
1831."
I asked him of which one of his poems he
is most fond?
"Well, I suppose I am like all authors
when I say that there are several of my
poems that I like verv much. Some of
them are batter finished than others, no
doubt, but I like them all. You insist upon
your question. "Well, if I were compelled
to make an answer I should say that the
'Chambered Nautilus' is perhaps the most
polished of tbe lot. That is not a fair an
swer. Then I will say what I did first that
there are about half a dozen of my poems
of which I am very fond."
As everyone knows Oliver "Wendell
Holmes was a member of the class jof 1829
at Harvard. I asked the Doctor if herconld
give me the names of those who are yet
alive. "Why, yes; yes, indeed," and he
stepped briskly to his little bookshelf and
took from it an old copy of the Harvard
triennial register.
ONLY TEN MVINO.
"I have marked a cross against a good
many of these names lately," he said.
"There are not a great many of them left
now. Let me see; there are but ten of tbe
members of that class living. There were
C9 on graduating, bnt that was 60 years ago.
The surviving members of theclasses of 1829
are Edwin Connut, Worcester county; Ed
ward Linzee Cunningham, Newport, R. I.;
Eev. Samuel Adams Devins, Boston; Wil
liam Grav, Boston; Charles Lowell Han
cock, Chicago; Eev. Samuel May, Leices
ter, Mass.; Samuel Francis Smith, Newton;
Charles Sterrer Storrow, Boston, and John
James Taylor, New York." ,
When the Doctor finished the list he
counted them dver again, and when he saw
that plain addition made but 10 in all, a
very perceptible sigh came from him. The
Doctor did not hesitate to speak of his years
when the subject was called up by this ref
ierence to the small number of survivors of
the Harvard class of 1829. "I don't think
that one of the companions of the early
years of my boyhood is left," and a sigh
escaped from the lips of the Auto
crat of the Breakfast Table, as he put
the ends of his fingers together and closed
his eyes. I knew Dr. Inches, who died a
few days ago, as you remember, very well.
I was almost intimately acquainted with
him. I had known him, ah, for 50 years,
CO years! half a centurvl but when a man
readies my age, and then looks hack SO
years, why even that distance into the past
to such a man leaves a pretty good gap be
hind it," and a smile lighted up the calm,
genial face. "Half a century from 80 years
leaves a gap of 30 years, and 30 years are a
good many to most men. No, I have no
friend left, There are many men, of course,
whom l'biew when I was young, and who
are yet alive, but all my intimate friends
are. gone. James Freeman Clarke? yes, he
was an intimate friend; I knew him well; I
thought a great deal of him; wo saw each
other a great deal, and his death was a sad
event for me."

AT SILVER LAKE GROVE.
Hibernians Strongly Condemn the Warder
of Or. Croaln Tbeir Summer Picnic
Wns a Grand Success.
Yesterday the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians held a grand parade acd picnic
at Silver Lake Grove. On Tuesday
the grove echoed the " bravas " of
Pittsburg s Italians; yesterday it rang
with the cheers and laughter of the children
of Green Erin.. The- 'fete was given under
the auspices of Company C, of Hibernian
Bifles. Early, in, tbe,afternoon Captain E.
Moran, at the head of SO men, and accom-
Sanied by the JJontooth Band, left Hi
ernian Hall, and marching to the Union
depot, took the 2 P. it. train for East Lib
erty, first came Chief Marshal Fallon,
surrounded by a staff of some 40 aids
Three companies of the Hibernian Bifles,
numbering in 'all ISO men, and over 400
members of the A. O. H. brought un the
rear. B. B. TtfcNeirney acted as Chief of
Staff, and Messrs. Owen Murphy, f. jh.
Conolly and J. J. McGnire were the
Assistant Marshals. A. mighty crowd
surged into the grounds to hear the promised
speeches and join in the revelry. Dancing
opened the entertainment.
About 4 o'clock the euests were invited to
hear the" speakers of the day. On the plat
form were among others: Bev. Dr. ilac-
Honald. of St. .Paul's Uathedral; Kev.
Father Corcoran, Si Agnes'; Bev. Father
O'Callaghan, Braddock, and Maurice H.
"Wilhere, President of the A. O. H. Mr.
"Wilhere addressed the meeting in a long
and eloauent speech, which was frequently
interrupted bv the enthusiastic plaudits of
tne treat auuience.
Bev. Dr. MacDo'nald moved the first reso
lution, which deprecated the cowardly at
tempts to fasten tbe murder of Dr. Cronin
in Chicago upon the whole Irish race, and
make every Gaelresponsible for the crime
of a few dastardly miscreants. He said:
"This resolution was one tnatsnouia oe pro
posed from everrlrish platform in America.
A dreadful crime Chad been committed
by misguided wretches, and straightway
certain so-called 'patriots' took the oppor
tunity to brand tb Irish "with Xhe crime.
If Americans took the trouble to read the
annals of the Clvil'War they could then say
whether or not the Irish in America were
accustomed to play the part of assassins
and cowards. Americans blame the Irish
man for loving his native land; but does he
not love his America himself? It Was hard
to teat out of the heart one of its noblest
sentiments lovo of country. Besides a
love of the old country was quite compatible
with a faithful service of the United States
in the capacityof citiien."
He called upon his audience 'while ever
remembering their duty to the land of their
adoption, vet never to cease their honest
and noble efforts to insure for the nation of
their sires that happiness and that freedom
which it has so long desired."
The resolution proposed by Dr. Mac-Donald-was
passed amid cheers.
The picnic lasted until 10 P. H. and the
fun never flagged.
DIOCESES UNITED.
Br Order of the Pope, Pittsburg and Alle
gheny Mode One BUbop Phelan Con
firms tbe Report.
The following telegram, in official form,
was received from Altoona, the present
home 6f Bishop Tuigg:
"By a 'brief of our Holy Father, feo
XIII, given at Borne July 1, 1889, the dio
cese of Allegheny has been suppressed and
made a part of the diocese of Pittsburg, at
it was before the division of the dioceses in
1876. By order of the Bishop. N. J.
O'Beilly, Secretary."
Bishop Phelan last night confirmed the
report of the consolidation of the two dio
ceses. The official notification has been re
ceived. He said that the consolidation
made the Pittsburg diocese the same as it
was prior to 1870. Further than that he did
not care to speak.
Father McDonald, of St. Paul's Cathe
dral, said last night that one of the reasons
for the consolidation was tbe inaDility of
the diocese to support their theological
seminaries separately. The Allegheny dio
cese has been weak financially. Nearly all
the priests of the two dioceses signed the
petition for the consolidation, except the
clergy in the mountains. It has been ex
pected tor some time, since it bas been
known that Bishop Tuigg wonld probably
never be able to resume active supervision
of the territory. For some years Bishop
Phelan has been Acting Bishop of the
diocese of Pittsburg.
