GEKEEAL BASEBALL KEWS OP THE DAT
The Pittsburg ball team played an impor
tant part in the League race yesterday by
defeating the 2ew Yorks. The latter were
knocked out of first place and the local team
gtepped up to filth. The Phillies also passed
the Chicagos.
Undoubtedly the champions of New York
City hare struck a very gigantic snag in
Pittsburg. The longer they remain here it
seems that the more remote will their pen
nant chances become. Certainly the repre
sentatives of the treat city of the East are
tough and dangerous people, but still there
are aggregations scattered here and there
who can occasionally tell them where they
are wrong. An Instance of this kind took
place at Recreation Park yesterday when the
local team let loose just as if the destinies of
the American continent depended on the Issue.
The Giants were laid low and they couldn't
help themselves. There was certainly any
amount of sympathy for them among the most
ardent admirers of the home talent, but it was
war to the knife and the big peoplo came out
second best
It may be a somewhat bitter pill for the
champions to swallow to go aronnd the conn
try earning laurels only to come here to be
slaughtered by a delegation that has merely
plajed an obscure part for nearly a whole sea
son. However, there is still an opportunity for
Pittsburg to gam a coodly amount ol glory yet,
andit lies In the tact of killing the cnamplon
ship aspirations of such clubs as New York and
Boston. The Pittsburgs are also fighting for a
position.
LIKE THE COVENANTERS
of old they have sworn to gain it, though their
dearest friends may die. Just at this stage
Hanlon and his men are not to be fooled with,
and, if possible, Boston will share the fate of
the disheartened Giants. The sorrow of the
latter is undoubtedl great, just as is the case
of all great people who have been knocked off
a pedestal of fame. President Day sat in the
directors' box yesterday the picture of a sub
dued and disconsolate man of intellect. As
he saw the glory of New York departing, his
expression of countenance became very
wearied, indeed. Smiles ho had none. Jim
llutrie couldn't be found after the sixth inning,
and the conjectures of his whereabouts are
numerous ana varied.
The game was a good one; one of the best
that has been played here. It wasn't bad clay
ing that lost the victory to New York. It was
the extra good work of the home team. The
visitors cannot blame bad or good luck for the
result. Of course, with a few more smiles of
Same Fortune in their favor, they might have
made one or two more runs, but they couldn't
have won without hitting the ball consider
ably harder than they did. The crowd was a
good one. numbering about 3,500 people. It
was Grand Army Day, and the audience was
mostly made up of holiday seekers. As a re
sult, the enthusiasm vtas intense, and at times
excitement ran very hich, indeed. To add to
the fun of the third inning,
AX ATFRIGHTED HORSE,
attached to a bugzy, appeared on the ball
field, causing the plajers to scamper in all
directions. The rnn-away animal took a wild
gallop round tbc field amid the deafening yells
of the bl caching-board occupants. Even the
rigid discipline of Umpire Lynch had no effect
whatever on the wild steed. The horse, how
ever, soon retraced his steps to where he had
come from, and made a costly smash up there.
This novel performance was taken as an omen
of good for the home team, ancWsuch it turned
ont to be.
The game was not devoid of kicking at the
umpire. The visitors had no close decisions to
which they could object, butwing and Welch
railed hard about Lyuch's decisions on balls
and strikes. On this point Buck and Lynch
had general wordy interviews. This only
tended to keep up the excitement of the game,
however. The game was full of exciting stages
from the first inning to the last; indeed, it is
difficult to say whether or not the innings or
rum made were any more exciting than
some of those that were blanks. In the start
off the Giants commenced as if they were going
to paralyze Stalev. In the very first inning
they got three men on bases after two men
were out.
THE Hir,XEYEB CAME.
O'Rourke, however, was not equal to tte
emergency, and the single that he longed for
never came. Thefieldinc on both sides was
good, with the exception of BecUey, who made
two errors. The great stumbling block of the
visitors, however, was Staley. They could do
nothing with him after the second inning. He
pitched in excellent form, and his colleagues
looked after him to the Queen's taste. Sunday
made a brilliant catch of a long fly from
E wing's bat in the sixth inning, and Fields did
just as well with a foul fly from the bat of
Gore in the fifth. Miller caught as ell as ever
he did in bis life, bnt his throwing was not very
good. Welch was to some extent a mark for
the home sluggers, and although they could
not touch Mickey up for long hits, they kept
pegging away with good singles to au extent
that must have made him wearied of his posi
tion in the came. In the sixth inning it looked
as If they were not going to leave him until not
a vcstigeof the smiling little man was left. For
once Mickey's proverbial smile banished, but
only temporarily.
The visitors were first to score, and did so
brilliantly. In the second inning Ewing led off
with a splendid single to right and Whitney
made a successful bunt. Mickey Welch then
advanced both runners a stage by a tricky
sacrifice. While Gore was at bat Whltnev was
playing considerably off second, and Miller
tried to nab him. The ball went over Dunlap's
bead, however, and Ewing scored, Whitney
reaching third. Gore was retired at first and
Tiernan went up to bat with
11LOOD IN HIS EYE.
After sizing the situation up thoroughly the
right fielder banged the ball right info the
long crass in deep outer field. Sunday ran for
it and could not find it readily, This, with the
foolish advice of the corchers, encouraged
Tiernan to try and make a home run, bnt be
was easily nabbed at the plate. His hit, how
ever. erned"the two runs. From that time on
the visitors could do nothing with Staley.
Matters now looked somen hat blue for the
home team, as Welch was pitching in great
style. The sixth inning came, however, and
with it six runs and six hits a very pleasing
combination of sixes for the home fellows.
Dunlap led off and was retired at first. Not so
with Mr. Staley, as he made a nice single to
center, and Midget Millerfollowed his example.
Kowe then appeared and knocked the ball over
Whitney's bead for another single, and the
bases were full. The yells of the cranks and
enthusiasts were now echoing over the hills.
Beckley sent everybody wild when he made
another little hit, sending In Staley, and the
scene was like pandemonium when old Deacon
kept the kettle boiling with still another little
single to left, sending Miller home.
THIS TIED THE SCORE
and there were still three men on bases and
only one man out. Jocko Fields was next at
bat, and Mickey looked at him wearily. So
much so that Jocko got his base on balls,
forcing a run in.
The crowd was now wild with delight, and
the delight was continued when Hanlon
reached first base safely. He knocked a
grounder to Richardson, who threw the Dall to
.Ewing. wlio muffed the throw and Beckley
scored. This w as awful, and President O'Day
sighed many a eary sigh as he sat chewing
,tlie end of a bovanna. Sunday, the ninth man
at bat, added his quota to the sport, by rap
ping tbo ball gently over Connor's head into
right field, and this hit sent both Wbltoand
Fields home. Duulap again went out at first,
and so did Staley, ending the lively Inning.
In the ninth it seemed too dark to play, but
Lynch persisted. After Beckley was ont
White made a single to left, and reached
second on O'Rourke's fumble of the ball.
Fields got bis base on balls and
.Hanlon knocked out a single to center, send-I
Ins White home. Fields was put out between I
second and third, and Sunday's ont to Rich
ardson retired the side. Following is the

MIKE KELLV NEARLY CRAZY.
Clarkson So Nearly Played Oat That Yes
terday's Change Strikes In.
rSPECIAI. TELIGIULM TO THE DISPATCH.'.
Cleveland, October L People who have
claimed that Mike Kelly was crazy would have
felt that their claims were verified had they
seen him when New York's defeat was known
at tbe end of to-day's game, placing Boston in
first place. General Arthur Hit Hil Dlxwell
was there and witnessed tbe Bostons climb into
the first place. The General and Mike made a
splendid team, and after the game wept tears
of joy. "We've got that money." said Kelly.
"It's ours, it's ours." "Yes," yelled tbe cul
tured Bostonian. without retrard to grammar,
"and so 's them there rocking chairs," where
upon some one suggested that both get a chair
and rest their beads.
Boston did not feel so sure of winning, and
the mighty Clarkson was again put in the box.
The strain is telling on him, and be depended
more on beadwork than speed. He was hit
pretty freely, and was only saved from defeat
by the rest of the team making their bits when
they were most needed.
To-Dny's Home Gome.
It was expected yesterday afternoon that
there would be two games to-day, that is, that
Monday's tie game wonld be played off to-day.
Such will not be the case, however, as it is un
derstood tbe demands of tbe home team were
too exorbitant. In all fairness the New Yorks
ought to have been allowed to play two games
under the same conditions that have always
been recognized. Pittsburg was the first city
to inaugurate the donble game plan and it is
not creditable to go back on it if certain de
mands are not granted. A fair field and no
favor is what is wanted at this stage. Keefe
and Sowders will likely be the pitchers to-day.

Forty Buildins In a Michigan Town De
stroyed by the Flames An Early
Morning Blnzc That Could
Not bo Controlled.
Grand Haven, Mich., October 1. A
large part, and the best part, of the resi
dence portion of this city was wiped out by
a great fire this morning, The fire broke
out in N. V. Slayton's provision store, on
"Washington street, at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, and in a few minutes it bad communi
cated to Mull's meat market, adjoining the
Cutler House on the west. The firemen
were promptly on hand, but by tbe time
they were ready to throw water the flames
had caught the cornice of the hotel. A per
fect gale was blowing from the "West which
drove the flames info the building and in a
very short time flame and smoke were pour
ing from every window of this magnificent
structure, in which were situated the First
Nations! Bank, Ffaffs Insurance Agency,
the Signal Service, "Western Union Tele
graph offices, and N. Beaudry's drygoods
store.
Grand Rapids and Mnskegon were wired
for assistance and both responded promptly,
but before they arrived the fire bad crossed
the street, burning Mrs. Jones' millinerv
store, Messrs. Squires' residence, and with
difficulty was kept from the sanitarium.
Then crossing Third street, tbe First Re
formed Church and parsonage, and the Cut
ler livery stable and all the buildings in the
block.
Grand Bapids acted nobly and did much
to assist in controlling the fire, which, how
ever, spread through south of Washington
street, taking all the residences as far as
Fourth street, including that of Mrs. Cut
ler, and burning the Unitarian Church and
the Telephone Exchange. Crossing Colnm
hus street, between Third and Fourth, tbe
flames swept out all tbe residences upon the
north side as far as Filth street, including
the Methodist Episcopal Church, the resi
dence of A. S. Kedzie and Postmaster San
ford. The vigorous efforts of the county
officials and the isolated situation of the
jail and court house did much toward
saving those buildings from the flames. The
total number of buildings destroyed is 41,
while the loss is estimated at fully $500,000.
Nearly all of the property was more or less
insured.

TALKING FIGHT.
Jack Ashton and Godfrey Agree to Have
Another Battle.
Boston, October 1. There was a good deal
of fighting talk about town this evening, but
the only result was to postpone to later dates
the fisting events that havo been on tbe tapis.
Hank Brennan and Geortre Dixon were to fight
on October 10, but Brennan weakened to-night
and wanted tbe fight postponed. Dixon con
siders it an admission of bis superiority. The
light is oil indefinitely. Jack Ashton and
George Godfrey met at the rooms of the Par
ncll Club late this afternoon and agreed to
settle their dispnte November 7. The purse
will amount to 1,200, all of which will go to the
winner. At the Bay State Club Jack Griffin
and Hippy Homer signed articles for a 25 round
go for a purse of $100. October 10 was agreed
uDon as the date.
Ike Weir is aeain disposed to dictate terms to
the California Athletic Club. President Fulda,
of the California club, telegraphed to Captain
Cook, of the JPolice Newt, this morning that
the club wonld give a $2,000 purse, $1,750 to the
winner, for a contest between Weir and Billy
Murphy in December or January. 'When Weir
was shown the dispatch ho said he would not
go to San Francisco unless a $2,500 purse was
offered. After talking the matter over with
Captain Cook be said he would go if the club
would give a $2,250 purse, $2,000 to the winner
and both men to weigh not over 120pounds
strinped. Weir's offer was wired to President
Fulda, and there is but little doubt that the
club at its meeting will accept the offer.

THE ALLEGHENY SCHOOLS.
The Board of Control Sleets and Has a Talk
About Them.
The usual meeting of the Allegheny
Board of School Control was held last
night. The election of the following teach
ers was confirmed: Miss Letitia Marshal,
First ward; Miss Lizzie Fairleigh, Kobert
ina Jones, Mary Longdon, Hattie Palmer
and Annie McCune, Second ward; Miss
'Mary L.innon, Sixth "ward.
The Evening ucnoois committee reported
that they had instructed the principals to
open their night schools last Monday, and
that their salaries had been fixed at the
same figures as last year.
The High School committee reported
having selected Profs. Tingley, Miller and
Paulson to fill the new positions decided on
at the last High school.
The same committee recommended that a
male and female teacher be elected to de
liver a series ol lectures on physioldgy and
hygiene to the High school pupils at sal
aries of 5150 per year. Tbe matter was re
ferred back to the committee to investigate
as to the legality of the question.
Superintendent Morrow reported having
received a letter from the residentsof Johns
town asking aid lor their schools. As theboard
had no authority to help them by an appro
priation the matter was placed on file.
Bills to the amount of $9,000 were ap
proved, the sum including a warrant for
work done in the High School building.
Mr. Smith offered a resolution that in
future writing teachers of 20 pupils or more
should be paid $60 a month and, be not
connted in the quota of teachers of the ward
where so engaged. It was amended to in
clude all first-class schools, or where there
are 15 or more, and referred to the Commit
tee on Teachers and Salaries. The Super
intendent's report for September showed a
total of 269 teachers in the city and of 12,680
pupils, a gain in the enrollment of 166 pu
lls over September ot last year.
TESTIMONI AGAINST GIBL1S."
Ivldence That He May Have Known Some
thing About Counterfeiting.
ISFECIAI. TKLEGBAit TO TBE DISPATCH.:
New York, October 1. The most
damaging testimony yet offered against
Charles Giblin, who prays to he spared the
death penalty for murdering' Madeline
Goetz, was put in to-day betore Beferee
Downs. The evidence bore chiefly upon
the point that the mnrderer was also a coun
terfeiter, and that his errand at the Goetz
bakery vjas to pass a bad bill. Practically
all the evidence bearing on this branch of
the case was excluded by Judge Barrett, at
tbe tria , because the indictment alleged
that t ie homicide took place
while Giblin was enzaged in
attackm: Valentine Goetz, and not
while ci remitting the feldny of passing
spurions money. The counterfeiting matter
is, how rar, being fully gone into at thel
present . earing, because tbe principal basis
of Giblii 's appeal to the Government is his
claim ti previous good character, which
would i ive weight to his assertion that the
killing ras done in self-defense.
Jame: J. Scanlan, who was a secret
service operative at the time of the murder,
identified the copper plates, Confederate
nntoa anrl t!n.Hrr fnnml In filhlln'c rnnm
the day alter the murder. Other witnesses
showed that Giblin had made attempts to
get rubber stamps and wood cuts for clumsy
counterfeiting.
THE LOUISIANA BOND FEAUDS.
An Investigation Into the Matter Commenced
by the Grand Jury.
New Orleans, October 1. The grand
jury of tbe parish of Orleans met to-day at
11 o'clock in Section A, Criminal District
Court. It had been rumored that they
would investigate tbe State bond frauds,
and the court room was filled with business
men and lawyers. The session of the jury
lasted four hours, and four witnesses are
known to have been examined. Nine in
dictments were found against some person
or persons charged with fraud and embezzle
ment. No names are given, but it seems
to be well understood that ex-Treasurer E.
A. Burke is the party in each.
The grand jury will be in session next
Friday and will examine other witnesses on
the same subject. The impression seems to
prevail that some 15 indictments will be
lound against the ex-Treasurer in regard to
the Agricultural and Mechanical College
bonds, and that the other charges will be
taken up at leisure.
C0BEIGAN IS ALL BIGHT.
A Report of Dlssntlsfactlou With
His
Coarse of Action Denied.
New York, October 1. There was pub
lished to-day a dispatch from Europe stating
that the state of things in this archdiocese
was not satisfactory to the authorities at
the Vatican, and that Archbishop Corrigan
has been summoned to Home to explain
matters. Bev. Dr. Charles McDonald, the
private secretary of the Archbishop, said
to-day that there is no truth in the report,
and that the Archbishop has not received
such a summons.
Another member of the Archbishop's
household denounced the report as absurd,
andtsaid it was only one in a series of
similar false rumors that have been set
afloat during the past year or two.

PEOHIBITION &'0T THE PE0PEE THIKG.
But a Proper Excise Law Will Eecdre the Support
of the Party.
The representatives of the Democracy of
NeV York met in convention at Syracuse
yesterday. A ticket was nominated for the
approaching election, a number of the
present officers being named again. The
platform approves the administration of
Governor Hill, and speaks in the highest
terms of the course of ez-president Cleve
land. Syracuse, October 1. The Democratic
State Convention met here to-day. The
hall was crowded when, at 12:15, Edward
Murphy, Chairman of the State Committee,
called the convention to order and an
nounced the action of the State Committee
in nominating Edward A. Jones for tem
porary chairman. The committee's action
was unanimously adopted, and a committee
was appointed to escort ifr. Jones to the
chair.
Lieutenant Governor Jones, on taking
the chair, thanked the convention for the
honor and proceeded to arraign the Repub
lican administration in bitter terms. His
allusions to both ex-President Cleveland
and Governor Hill were received with the
utmost enthusiasm. A recess was then
taken.
The convention hall presented an ex
tremely animated appearance when the
body was again called to order. James "W.
Bidgeway, as Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, reported the following plat
form and moved its adoption:
THE PLATFORM PROPOSED.
The Democratic party of the State of New
York, in convention assembled, renews the
pledges of its fidelity to Democratic faith and
reaffirms tbe doctrines of the national plat
form ot 1S8S, adopted at St Louis. We have
not advocated and do not advocate free trade,
but we steadfastly advocate the principles of
tariff reform, believing that adherence to the
right alone carries in itself the certainty of
triumph. We heartily Indorse the honest and
fearless administration of the National Gov
ernment ny Grovcr Cleveland.
Second-We charge that the RemibHcan
party, at the last Federal election, obtained
power in the nation by corruption and false
pretenses, by intimidation and coercion of
voters, and by a shameless trafficking of a
Cabinet and other offices in its r?ift to tha
highest bidder; and through its candidates bv
these unscrupulous means received more than
half the votes of the electoral college, its
doctrines and principles were repudiated by a
majority of the voters of the country. We ar
raign the Chief Executive of tbe United Btates
for a disgraceful violation of tbe pledges con
tained in his letter of acceptance, to-wlt: ''In
appointments to every grade and depart
ment, fitness and not party service should
be the essential and discriminating test, and
FIDELITY AND EFFICIENCY
the only snre tenure of office," In that, not In
exceptional instances, but with sweeping band
he has removed hundreds of honest and capa
ble officers before the expiration of the terms
for which they were appointed.
Third Maintaining, as; heretofore, that im
proper combinations of capital which limit
production, fix the price of commodities re
gardless of the cost of production, reduce the
wages of labor and crush oat the smaller inde
pendent dealers, and thns strangle legitimate
competition, are conspiracies:
The Republican party in this State is
next a arraigned for having last year made
the highest tax rate since 1875, beinjr an in
crease of from $9,000,000 to $12,500,000.
Governor Hill is, on the other hand, lauded
for having saved to the people by his vetoes
about 52,000,000. The plank dealing with
the excise question is in part thus:
We do not favor the unrestricted sale of In
toxicating liquors on the one hand, nor prohi
bition on the other. We believe that tbe
liquor traffic should be restrained and regu
lated by just and equitable excise laws, rigidly
enforced, which laws, in their operation,
should be substantially uniform throughout
the State.
A QUESTION OP REVENUE.
We believe all excise revennes, whether
called license fees or taxes, should belong to
tbe local treasury of the localities under whose
authority licenses are issued, to be applied in
reducing the burden of local taxation. We op
pose the passage of the prohibition amend
ment, upon which the next Legislature is re
quired to act; and we arraign tbe Republican
party lor its dishonest treatment of the tem
perance question in this State and the States
of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Pennsyl
vania, in submitting, or proposing to submit,
prohibition amendments, only to defeat them
at the polls.
In snpport of this last arraignment the
Eepublican legislation of last winter is
analyzed, the defeat of an excise revision
bill and snpport of a higb license bill being
characterized as dishonestly inconsistent.
Electoral reform next receives renewed
pledge of snpport from the party, but not as
embodied in the Saxton bill, which was a
Eepublican party measure last winter.
A CHARGE OF TREASON.
The failure of the Eepublican Legislature
to pass enumeration or constitutional con
vention-bills is a basis of the charge in
the platform that the Eepublican party is
guilty of treason to tbe Constitution.
Home rule for cities and the administration
oi Governor Hill are endorsed.
The platform was adopted, a resolution of
sympathy with Gladstone and Parnell was
adopted, and ex-Assemblyman Prank Rice,
of Ontario county, was t.ben made nominee
for Secretary of State. Edward "Wemple,
present incumbent, was then renominated
lor Controller. Hon. Elliott Danforth was
nominated for State Treasurer. Charles 3?.
Tabor, present incumbent, was renominated
to be Attorney General. John Bogart, for
State Engineer and Surveyor, and Dennis
O'Brien, for Court of Appeals Judge, were
the other nominees. The7 convention then
adjourned.
