BEOOKLYKS ABE ON TOP. Byrne's Team Gets the American Association Pennant. PITCHER BALDWIN MAKES A KICK. Some Interesting Bacini on Latonia and Jerome Tark Tracks. GENERAL SPORTIXG SEWS OF TEE DAI The Braddock Blues, of the County league, tackled the home team and got whitewashed. The Brooklyn ball club wins the American Association pennant. Mark Baldwin leaves the box because of bad support. There was some interesting racing at Latonia and Jerome Park. The Braddock Blues, of the County league, tried their hands -with the Pitts burg ball team yesterday at Recreation Park. The Blues were beaten, of course, but taking everything into consideration they made a very respectable stand against the National League representatives. If the first inning could be excluded It could safe ly be said that worse playing has been seen at the park than was seen jesterday. But there is little or nothing to attract in a game between a team like the Fittsburjrs and a local amateur aggregation. The foregone con clusion of victory takes all interest out of the contest There is so litt'o tocompare between the two teams that comparisons would be ridic ulous. However, the fact that the Pittsburgs are going to go through the list of tho four best clubs in the County leagne it will be of In terest to see how each of the four fares with the professionals. Taking this view of the week's series there probably will be some good result from the games. MUST TBEAT THEM KINDLY. -It is always unfair, at any rate ungenerous, to criticise amateurs severely. A little advice now and then may be in place, but a player who is a player without being paid for it ought to escape much fault finding. However, it caD be conscientiously said that the work of the Blues jesterday was a great improvement on that of the East End Athletics when they faced the rmsburcs last week; indeed, judging of tho work of tho two teams as seen against the Pittsburgs, it seems strange that the Blues should have to play second fiddle to the East Enders. The Braddocks are good fielders, and in Gordon they had quite an effective pitcher yesterday. Killen, however, was not a success as a catcher, and he undoubtedly caused Gordon to make several wild pitches. With a good catcher and plenty of practice Gordon ought to make quite a use ful man in the box Shields is not a bad short stop by any means, bnt bis failing seems to be in handling grounders. Cooper is a good fielder. Bnt the weak spot of the Blues is their batting if yesterday's work means anything. They are fearfully weak at the bat, and if they were strengthened there they will be a tolerably fair team. FELT A LITTLE "WEARY. The Pittsburgs played without much exer tion. The weather was too cold and there were not more than 20 people present to shiver. Thn game was called just after the soventh inning had been started. The first inning was a settler, as four runs were made on Kuehne's triple to right, Rove's singled to left, three passed balls, two bases on balls and five wild pitches. After that Gordon settled down and struck the next two men out and the third went out on a fly to Shields. Gordon pitched well and not a run was made until the sixth, when Sunday led off with a scratch hit, stole second and scored on Dnnlap's sacrifice and Hess' singles. A wild throw bv Killen and another by W. Ben nett allowed Hess to score. The seventh in ning was started and Fields made a single to middle and stole second. He scored on White's double to left, and When Sunday was at bat Killen was hit on the shoulder by a foul tip. He complained of the blow and the game was called. The Blues could do nothing w ith Maul and they only had two men at first, one of whom reached second. Following is the score: riTTSBCRGSR B F A X IBBAD'CES. B. B. P. A.E Kueline, in. Howes....

Bad Weather Mars the Races at Je rome Park. Race Track, Jerome Pake, October 14. This was a blue Monday with a vengeance at this track. There were less than LOW persons in attendance. The feminine race-goers were huddled together in the stand and the men sought the protection of the betting paddock. The sloppy condition of the track caused wholesale withdrawals, and resulted in com paratively small fields.

PIST0ISAND GUNS. A Mississippi Murder Case Settled Ontsldo bf the Coart Boom Two Men Killed and an Innocent Bxstnndcr Badly Injured. Nicholson, Miss., October 14. There occurred here vo-day a fatal affray, resulting in the death of Dr. TV. Jr. Tett, of this place, and F. C. Collins, of Lacey, Miss., and the severe wounding of Quitman Perton. Dr. Tett is the same person charged with complicity in the Osyka tragedy of last year, in which druggist "Vamodo was assassinated. Dr. Tett was under bond to appear before H. W. Stock still, Justice of the Peace, to-day. Collins and J. "W. Turner were, summoned as wit nesses against Dr. Tett He (Tett) had some angry words with Collins. About 12 o'clock, shortly after the case against Tett had been called and dismissed for lack of an affidavit, loud words, proceeding from Col lins, near the Conrt House, were heard. Tett left the Court House, proceeded to his home and was presently seen advancing rapidly up the street toward the door of the Court House with a double-barreled shot gun in his hand. Collins stood near the door and Turner in the group of bystanders. Turner and another friend called to Collins to go into the house, but Collins faced Tett at the foot of the steps. Just as some one tried to drag him out of danger Tett fired a load of buckshot into Collins' face, killing him instantly. Some of the shot took effect in the back of Quitman Perton, an innocent bystander, who had not time to get out of the way. Tett emptied his second barrel in the body of Collins as he lay at the foot of the steps. Turner, seeing 'his brother-in-law, Collins, fall at the steps, ran to a window and opened fire on Tett with his pistol. A pistol duel between Turner and Tett en sued, Tett retiring as he fired. Tett re ceived one pistol ball in the breast and one in the back just below the ribs, both balls passing through him. He lived about three hours. Perton is doing well.

His presence upon the train was not discovered at the Union station, and the junior Senator escaped run ning the reportorial gantlet, peaceably continuing his journey to Washington, where he arrived yesterday morning, driv ing immediately to his new home, No. 1829 I street, whither his family had preceded him ten days previously. Senator Quay will be no more seen at Beaver during the coming winter. He will definitely remain in Washington from this time on. The boys who want to see him will have to make a more lengthy pilgrim age than from Pittsburg to Beaver. His early presence at Washington is sig. nificant in more ways than one. The Na tional Bepublican'Committee is taking a most active part in the pending fight in the Old Dominion. The battle is one of the fiercest in the checkered political history of that State, and it is known that General Mahone has sent up a Macedonian cry which could not be disregarded. In the culmina tion of the campaign it will be the mailed hand of the National Republican Chair man which will direct the onslaught upon the Democratic cohorts. . BRINGING THE BOYS BACK. Senator Quay is to throw oil upon the troubled Republican waters also, and he has it in his power to bring the recalcitrants into camp. Although in Washington, he will assume personal charge of the Virginia campaign, and all the potent arguments which wrested the crown of victory in last November from a sanguine Democratic ad ministration will be made nse of during the next three weeks to break the solid South. It is recognized by the National Committee that Mahone's victory will be the most crushing blow to Southern Democracy that could be devised. Senator Quajr remarked at the Union depot to a friend who met him by apppointment that "he thought General Mahone would be elected." This quiet confidence in the result of the Vir ginia fight speaks volumes. Through the registered bond plan devised by Senator Quay, the National .Committee is not with out the sinews of war. Senator Quay will also keep a weather eye upon the Pittsburg postoffice fight. Certain Pittsburg gentlemen have recently placed themselves on record in the archives ot the Postoffice Department as being in favor of continuing Postmaster Larkin in office ,un til the last moment of bis commis sion time. This makes the Senator very tired. HE 'WANTS IT SETTLED. He believes in settling the contest with but little further delay. The originators of a plan by which the supposed deadlock be tween candidates McHean and Ford might he picked by a key upon which the name of Frank P. Case appears as a compromise scheme, cansed the sending of several bushels of telegrams to Washington. . Several gentlemen rode from Beaver to Pittsburg with the Beaver statesman. The latter asked many minute questions in re gard to Allegheny county politics. He wanted to know whether there was any truth in the report that certain friends of Major Montooth were languishing to have him withdrawn from the Gubernatorial race in order that the Hastings boom might be decently espoused by the aforesaid friends. To this question various answers were "re turned. Several other matters were talked ot, but Senator Quay is famous for asking quantities of questions and answering very lew. But to all interrogations as to status of postoffice, Collector of the Port, U. S. Mar shal and legislative matters Senator Quay returned the invariable answer that H. K. Boyer was running lor the State Treasur ship, and that nothing else in Pennsylvania interested him particularly. Hon. Walter Lyon, U. S. District Attor ney, went to Washington last evening to confer with Attorney General Miller and Secretary Windom about official matters connected with his office. He will not re main long in Washington as U. S. Court meets here shortly and there is a large ac cumulation of business awaiting attention. MUCH INDIGNATION IN ENGLAND Because of the Acquittal of n Peer Charged With a borious Offense. London, October 14. The scene in the courtroom at Dumfries to-day when the jury in the case of the Earl of Galloway, charged with misbehavior "toward girls of tender years, brought in a verdict of acquittal was one rarely witnessed in a criminal court in this country. The guilt of the accused seemed so clearly established by such evi dence as was allowed to filter through the objections of the six eminent counsel for the defense, that those present in the courtroom, many of whom were iriends and relatives of little girls whom the aged nobleman was charged with abusing, took no pains to con ceal their disgust with the verdict. The announcement of the verdict was the signal for loud expressions of disapproval from the benches where the spectators were seated, and the frowns and threats of the presiding judge were of no avail to sup press the cries of "shame" uttered by dozens of indignant persons. In London the news of the verdict was received with great indignation among the common people, and it is poiutedout that had the ac cused been anything but a great nobleman the evidence brought out would have been sufficient to convict him a dozen times over. A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD. A Combination of Snndhnscers nnd Whisky Produces Fatnl Heinlle. rSrXUIAI. TXLIOKAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! New Yoke, October 14. Edward H. Woodbridce, 38 years old, a customs in spector, was found drunk at Thirty-second street and Seventh avenue on the night of October 6. He was bleeding behind the left ear. A.few days after his friends took him to Boosevelt Hospital. Sunday night he died. His skull had been fractured. Thomas Carey was found sitting against a lamp post-at "Thirty-third street and Sev enth avenue early Wednesday morning. He was unconscious and ' has remained so ever since. At Boosevelt Hospital last night it was said he would die. Marks on his head look like wounds from a sandbag. Carey's friends are with him. He is a hotelkeeper in Portland, Conn. Sun day, when seen last, he had $1350 and a dia mond stud. They were gone when he was found. In Johnstown. Mrs. I. M. Beese, of Braddock, states in a letter that Hoi lie Hanlon, the girl who dis appeared so mysteriously last week, is now in Johnstown. Mollie stated to Mrs. Beese, with whom she stayed on Tuesday, that her mother beat her cruelly. GOOD AT COUNTING. The Montana Legislature Now Claimed by the Uepnbllcans A Precinct With a Bis Democratic Majority Thrown Oar. Helena, Mont., October 14. The news from Butte that the Silver Bow" County Canvassing Board had thrown out the Homstake Tunnel precinct, which gave a Democratic majority of 168 out of 172 votes, was received here with jubilation by the Bepublicans and dismay by the Demo crats, because if the courts sustain the de cision of the Canvassing Board, it will in sure Bepublican control of the State (Legis lature. Party feeling runs pretty high and there is much excitement over the news, bnt the general sentiment is that the matter will be left to the courts to adjudicate. An interesting complication, however, will probably ensue over this matter. With out Silver Bow county the Bepublicans wo nld control both branches of the Legis lature and should the Governor call that body together before the contest is settled a sufficient number of Democratic members to prevent a quorum would probably stay away, so that we would probably be without a Legislature until the Supreme Conrt de cides the dispute. Another interesting feature is its effect upon the Governorship, and Mr. Toole will not be inaugurated unless it is patent that he is elected without the big majority of the rejected precinct The count in Lewis and Clark counties is still in progress, bnt nothing new has de veloped. A. few irregularities were discov ered in the second precinct in Helena, which gave 30 Democratic majority, and the precinct may be thrown out. This will not affect the result on the Legislative ticket, bnt may elect two more Bepublicans on the county ticket. The canvassing board is composed of two Democrats and one Bepub lican. It is said to-night the Democrats will to-morrow file contests against several Bepublican precincts in this county. As the" returns are now declared from every county in Montana, the Legislature stands: Senate, Bepublicans 8, Democrats 8; House, Bepublicans 30, Democrats 25. Members of the Democratic State Com mittee say that they have the law of the Territory on their side, as the Supreme Court, several years ago, de cided a case of the same kind, holding that if the votes were legally cast, the fact that a less number of judges than those provided by law presided at the elec tion did not vitiate the returns. They feel confident an order will be issued by De Wolf compelling the canvassers to count the votes as the return shonld be counted, giving them ten members of the Silver Bow Legislative delegation. THEIK JOLLY GENEEAL ASSEMBLY. The Democratic Societies of the State to Wind Dp Happily. ISrECIAL TELEQBAM TO THX DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, October 14. Chauncey F.

The Madstone Applied With Great Sneceis la One of the Cases. Atchison, Kait., October 4. Several cases of hydrophobia exist at Meriden, Jefferson county, the result of the attacks of a mad dog. Maud Barr, one of the victims, has been brought here to be treated with a madstone. She was suffering terrible agony from convulsions yesterday, but after the madstone had been applied she became somewhat better, and the physicians hope to save her life. Three children named Peebles were bitten by the dog, but none of them have de veloped symptoms of the dread disease. Of the ten children of a farmer named Cook, seven were bitten by the dog. One of them has developed symptoms of hydrorjhobia. The father will have no medical assistance. He says if it is the will of God that his chil dren shall die no human power can save their lives. LACKING THE BRAINS. Medical Students Steal the Sltnl! of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Concoed, MAS3.,October 14. A funeral party while attending a funeral at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery found the grave of the late Ealph Waldo Emerson torn np, and the plants with which it was decorated trampled. It was found on investigation that a party of resurrectionists had been at work and attempted to rob the grave of the honored remains. The object sought is sup posed to have been the head of the poet, and grave suspicion is being directed toward the agents ot a Boston medical college. The most strenuous efforts will be made to dis cover the desecrators of the grave of one of America's most honored poets. HIS CAREER ENDED. A Hard Case la Florida Finally Runs "Dp Against a Bullet. (SPECIAL TILEGBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.1 Jacksonville, Fia., October 14. Officials of the United States Court here re ceived a telegram from Madson (the Black belt county) this afternoon telling of the killing of the notorious John Bird last Sat urday night, at his home near town. No particulars as to who did the killing or its origin can be obtained yet. Bird has long been the cause of uneasiness, as he ire qnently indulged in drunken sprees, flourish ing pistol and shooting at the least provoca tion. He was a very obnoxious politician of the most bitter kind. DIVIDE IT BETWEEN THEM. Russia and Austria Will Not Fight If They Don't Hnve To. Beelin, October 11 Political circles here are highly satisfied with the exchange of views between Emperor William and the Czar.

Senator Manderson's Pension Not the Only Illegal Increase. OVER A SCOKE OP THE EMPLOYES In the Bureau Will be Forced to Disgorge Into the Treasury, MR. BLAISE IS FOR TARIFF REVISION. A Humber of Yery Fancy Plans for the Beorganha tion of the Army. Twenty-one employes of the Pension Bu reau have had their cases illegally rerated, and action will be taken to recover the money back into the Treasury. Senator Manderson's case will be taken as a prece dent Secretary Blaine says that the first duty of Congress will be to revise the tariff laws. Washington, October 14. It is learned that Secretary Noble's decision in the re rated pension case of Senator Mander son in which, as indicated in the Sena tor's letter to the Secretary, it is held that his re-rating is unlawful, was arrived at some weeks ago (though not made public), and then establi&ned a precedent which has since been followed by the department in a number of similar cases. Senator Mander son, however, it is said, occupied a some what different position from a majority of the pensioners re-rated by Commissioner Tanner, and particularly those who occupy official positions in the peqsion bureau. Without drawing the arrearages that the certificate showed were due him, Senator Manderson at once wrote to the Secretary of the Interior inquiring whether the increase in his case was made in accordance with law. The Secretary, in respense. forwarded to the Senator a copy of a decision which he had just made in case in which it was held, as before stated, that while the Senator was wholly blameless in the matter, the re-rating and increase were clearly in violation of law. Thereupon Senator Manderson promptly returned the certificate to the de partment that it might be cancelled. It is learned that there are 21 of the em ployes of the Pension Office whose ratings have been increased. It islaid that among the first duties the new commissioner will be called upon to perform will be the re covery of all moneys illegally paid on pen sion claims. The commissioner undoubted ly has this right, and in those cases where the money has been placed beyond the reach of the law the Government can apply all future pension payments to the liquidation of the debt. So far, however, no attempt has been made to recover any of the moneys so unlawfully paid. A number of the 21 employes of the Pension Office, whose pen sions were re-rated and increased, have left the Government service since this action was token. A large proportion- of the num ber, however, are still in office, and it, therefore, will be comparatively easy to compel a rf -payment by withholding both salary and pension until the debt is can celed. TARIFF REVISION IS FIRST. Blaine Say Congress Dlnst Look After That Before Anything Else. Washington, October 14. It is widely believed here that the President will recom mend in his message some decided modifica tions of the existing tariff. From remarks he has let drop to persons who have conversed with him on the subject it is inferred that he realizes the party expediency ot such a course, and two members of his "Cabinet whose counsels wonld be most likely to in fluence are of the same mind. Secretary Windom's Northwestern education fits him to favor revision, while Secretary .Blaine has, within a few days, expressed himself decidedly in hope that Congress will take up the question at once and dispose of it. The conversation was started by his friend's inquiry what he thought of Representative Lodge a scheme for a Federal election law as means of bringing out a fair vote in the Southern States. The Secretary answered that this was not the time to bring such an issue before the country. He added: What the people expect of Congress is to defer all other general legislation till the tariff question is put ont of the way. As lone as that hanss over its bead it can hope to do noth ing satisfactory in other lines. It would be the wisest stroke of policy for the Bepublicans of both Houses to unite, as soon as Congress con venes, upon a bill designed to meet the popular demand for tariff revision without disturbing the welfare of any established American industry. Other matters, however interesting and important, can afford to wait till this one is adjusted, tor, with the people once satisfied that the Bepublican party has made its prom ises on this head in good faith, they will giro it all the heartier snpport in any enterprise re undertakes afterward. PLATING WITH THE AE1II. The ExpensiTO National T07 Again the Snb. Jrct of Oratorical Recreation. rSriCIAt. TKLXPBAH TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, D. C, October 14. The reorganization of the army so long talked of and so often deferred seems as1 far off as ever from the multiplicity of bills and the diver sity of their bearing which will come before the next Congress. Among others Senator Manderson's bill provides for adding SO companies to the infantry, with a view of giving it a 12-company, three battalion or ganization, like that of the cavalry and ar tillery. Under that bill 50 captains wonld be made majors, 100 first lieutenants would become captains, ISO second lieutenants would become first lieutenants, and these promotions would involve an in crease of pay amounting to $104,120 per annum. This measure deals with the infantry alone; but another, known, as the Steele bill, while preserving the feature of 12 companies for the infantry, makes a much more radical change by pro viding that in time of peace each of the regiments of cavalry, artillery and infantry, although at all times fully officered, is to have only eight companies manned. It is probable that with all these conflict ing measures introduced into the last Con gress and previous ones, including the bills of Mr. Manderson, Mr. Croin, Mr. Harmer, Mr. Funston and Mr. Warner, an entirely new bill will be required as a compromise in order to effect a reorganization. CHICAGO MEANS BUSINESS. Headquarters for the World's Fair Cam. palen Opened at the Capital. i SPECIAL. TEI.XGBAH TO THE DISPATCH.1 Washington, October 14. Chicago has formally begun her campaign in the Fifty first Congress for the honor and glory of the World's Fair of 1892.

A BBEAK TOE LIBERTY. The Desperate Manner In Which a Prisoner Attempted to Itecnln HI Freedom The Muzzle of a fierolTer Had No Terror for Him. Hillsboeo, III., October It One of the most desperate breaks for liberty ever made by a prisoner in this county was attempted by Harry Franklin, a prisoner in jail here last night. Franklin tried to commit high way robbery on Mayor Wilton, of Litch field, recently, and escaping from a shower of bullets, fired bv a special policeman who had been warned of the attempt, was after ward arrested in East St Louis while trying to clean ont the Louisville and Nashville shops. About 6 o'clock last evening Sheriff Gris wold went Into the jail as usual and let out from the cage into the corridor three prisoners to wash, Franklin be ing one. He was no sooner ont than he made a rush at the Sheriff with a slung shot he had manufactured out of a towel stuffed with salt and broken glass. The Sheriff" defended himself by striking Franklin with an iron lock", knocking him to his knees. In the moment thus gained Griswold got out-his revolver, and when Franklin arose he was looking into the barrel. Nothing daunted, he rushed again and was again sentto his knees, this time with, the butt end of the revolver. As he aj'ain arose covered with blood and looked in'.o the revolver, he was told by the Sheriff that he would have to kill him. His only reply as he rushed forwaro was to sav, "Shoot and be ," that it was liberty orMeath with him. The Sheriff hes itated to shoot at the man, believing he could handle him without killing him. Thus the desperate struggle went on till both rolled first down one flight of stairs, then down another. By this time Franklin had fainted from- his injuries and loss of blood. The other two parties, who had undoubtedly agreed to help him, had all the time cowered in the corner trembling. On examination this morning Franklin was found to have 17 cuts clear to the skull. Sheriff Griswold'g injuries were slight. ROGERS' ROYAL NERVINE TONIG is, as its name implies, a most VALUABLE RE STORATIVE to the NEEVOU8 SYSTE1I.
