gexeeal spoetixg sews of the DAI
The local hall club had a little contest
Iwith the Homesteads, of the County League.
hThe score was 9 to 2 in favor of the home
fplayets. Manager McGunnigle, of the
Brooklyn club, says he will resign at the
.end of the championship series, aora ana
Jordan, the amateur athletes, have been
matched for the championship.
Probably the best came so far in the series
between thl Pittsburgs and the county
Jeacue teams was that of yesterday at
"Recreation Park. The Homesteads tackled
the National Learners, and really made a
icrcditable performance. Many worse games
have been played between clubs of the big
organizations than that which the Home-
! steads played. Of course their pitcher was
ib.it, and, at tines, very hard. But
ithe ball had to be knocked before scoring could
Ibe done, because the boys from the suburban
'borough fielded admirably as amateurs.
Lite all the amateur teams hereabouts the
Homesteads were sadly at sea when face to face
:with a National League pitcher. They faced
Staler, and i hen it is saifi that he struck 14 men
out it will be well understood tbat the visitors
were in very great difficulties as far as batting
was concerned, lhatwas
THEIB WEAK POINT
fani with perfect play on the part of the home
iplajcrs they should hare been sbut out. Dietz,
Ithe pitcher of the Our Boys team, was in the
Iboi for the visitors and he pitched a very good
game considering his class. He showed good
i speed and some good curves. He was out
i classed, however. The Homesteads had a few
ticularly Youngman and H. Howe. These
two men, judging from their work of yester
day, would do credit to a much more influential
dub than Homestead. They both fielded
I splendidly and Rowe hit the ball hard. He
also ran bases well. The outfield was also
good and Colgan did splendidly behind the bat.
One pleasing feature of the game was the fact
that the visitors never "get the rattles."
The weather was fine, and probably 100 people
were present. For five innings the game was
thoroughly interesting, as the score stood 2 to 1
Lup to that stage. The amateurs had done
SOME BHILLIAXT FIELDING,
Stbe work of the infield being great The vis
itors really started off as if they were going to
rmake victims of the big people, and scored one
f in the first inning to the local team's none,
i The home players could not very readily size
lup Dietz, but ultimately they got the young
mans measure ana toucnea mm up quite
lively. The home players got their runs by
sound, hard hitting, seven of the runs being
earned, me visitors got tneir two runs oy
errors, and that tells the whole story of the
game.
' However, the Homesteads can play good
ball, and the team is a credit to the industrious
i little borough to which they belong. The stand
tbat a club like the Homesteads can make
agam3 me rittsourgs speaks volumes lor tne
future of baseball. The former arc all daily
t"i!lrs in mill nr fnrtnrv and hn,p Vrtnth nn
(their side. There is snrely a bright future
ahead of some of them. Games such as tbat of
esterdav will do much to encnurace amateur
ball playing in this section. Following is the

THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
The Brooklyn and New Yorks Will Play
Eleven Games.
tSrECIAt. TZX.EC BAM TO TUB DISPATCH 1
New York, October 16. Tho world's cham
pionship series of 1SS9 has been arranred and
the first game will be played to-morrow. With
the exception of securing umpires, all the de
tails have been settled. President John B. Day
and Manager Mutrie for the New Yorks and
President Byrne and Director Able for tbe
Brooklyns met at the offico of the Sporting
Timet this afternoon and agreed upon a series
for the world's championship between their re
spective clubs. The meeting was a most
harmonious one and although it took several
hours to arrange matters satisfactorily to both
sides, tbere was not a hitch of any kind.
President Day was In favor of 7 games for the
series, while Mr. Byrne wanted 11. Mr. Day also
wanted it arranged tbat the series should come
to an end as soon as tbe deciding game had
been played. After some little talk, in which
all hands took part, it was decided that the
scries should consist of eleven games, and that
it should end as soon as one of tho clubs shall
in its sixth victory.
The number of games having been fixed, the
next question was as to dates. Mr. Dav
thought that tho sooner the games were begun
the better, and he at once suggested that the
first game b played to-morrow. This was
promptly agreed to. The following schedule
was then adopted:
Kridav, October IS Polo Grounds.
Saturday, October 19 Washington Tark.
Jlondav, October Zl Palo O rounds
Tuesday, October Washington Park.
V ednedav, October 23 Polo Grounds.
Ihursdav, October 24 Vt ashlneton Park,

haturday, October ai-Washlngton Tark.
.Monday, October 28 Polo Grounds
Tuesday. October 29 V ashlngton Park.
"Wednesday, October 30 Polo Grounds.
By the above schedule it will be seen tbat the
clubs have apportioned the games as well as
it conld be done. In cae ram should prevent
any of the games, the postponed game will be
played on tbe next day at the same grounds.
This of course will change tbe srhedule. but
not enough tn make any serious difference.
Another meeting will be held to-dav to select
umpires and agree upon a division of tbe gate
receipts.

THE CHAMPIONS MATCHED.
Jordan and Ford Agree to Throw Weight'
for the Championnhlp.
New York, October 16. Quite a party of
athletes met yesterday at 1 p. m. in the office of
W. H. Robertson, 296 Broadway, to see the final
arrangements made in regard to the weight
throwing contest between A. A. Jordan, of the
New York Athletic Club, and Malcolm W.
Ford, of the Statcn Island Athletic Club.
These two athletes took second and first re
spectively in the recent general athletic cham
pionship, and after some discussion as to their
relative merits In a single-handed contest at the
regular general athletic programme, they have
decided to settle their differences in a single
banded match at the three weight-throwing
events of that programme. Ford is considered
to have too much of an advantage over Jordan
in running and jumDlng, but in weight-throwing
they are very even. A great many think
Jordan will win the hammer and Ford the shot,
so it resolves Itself into a question of throwing
the 50-nound weight.
This is a vcrj heavy game, and nn man can
posibly hold bis own against all comers at it
unless he is very heavy and strong. The three
best men which tbh. country has ever bad at
the game are J. S. Mitchell, C. A. J. Qucck
bernerand W. L Condon: they average about
210 pounds inn eight apiece, and have records
at the game in tbe neighborhood of 9 feet.
Mitchell has tbe world's record, 30 feet 1 inch.
Jordan and Ford will averace about 158 pounds.
Jordan being two or three ponnds nnder and
Ford a corresponding number over. Twenty
feet for men ot this weight would be called an
excellent throw, for the average man cannot
send the missile over 13 or 14 feet.
Among those who were present yesterday at
tbe signing of tbe articles were W. H. Robert
son, L. Levien, Robert StolL Sam Toch, T. J.
Lee, W. H. Roberts, S. Cornell and William
JSorr.

A Bogus Advertising Asent.
J. H. Difienbacbcr, the citv directory

palpable fraud.

P. Todd is in charge, sailed on the sloop o
wdr Pensacola from the navy yard at 530
o'clock this morning. She -will go direct
Irom here to the Cape de Verde Islands,
and there refill her bunkers with coal.
Thence she will go to Sierra Leone for.more
coal, and then stop at Fernando Po to get
coal enough to cany her to St. Paul de
Loanda, her destination. There the astron
omers will disembark and go to Maxima,
on the Quanza river, with a guard of
marines and prepare for the eclipse which
is to take place on December 22. Maxima
is about 100 miles inland. It is a Portu
guese trading station. Mrs. Todd has been
helping her husband in his preparations.
She has been working up formulas and ac
quainting him with many details of geog
raphy and climatic peculiarities on the
west coast of Alrica. She has read every
book concerning that part of Africa that
she could obtain, and has read to him se
lected passages every day.
PATH OP THE ECLIPSE.
Prof. Todd said to-day: "We have a large
equatorial, 20 cameras and otberinstruments
necessary for astronomical observations,
photographing the phases of the eclipse and
deep sea discoveries. We, unfortunately,
have not Prof. Agassiz with us, hut he says
he will try to get away in about three weeks
and meet "the ship at Cape Town, after she
has landed the others at St. Paul de Loanda.
The total eclipse will be visible in a path
about 5,001) miles long and 100 miles wide.
The path begins in the Caribbean Sea and
Skirts along the northern coast of South
America. It then stretches eastward and
southward to Africa. An expedition from
the Lick Observatory, of California, will
view the eclipse at French Guiana, in South
America."
PERSONNEL Ol" THE EIPLOBER3.
Prof. Todd gave the following facts about
his companions: Prof. H. P. Bigelow is his
chief assistant. He is professor of mathe
matics at Bacine College. He has devised ,
several of tbe instruments tbat will be used
by the astronomical observers. He was as
sistant astronomer at the National Observa
tory of the Argentine Bepublic at Cordova.
Prof. Eben J. Loomis, for 40 years in the
Nautical Almanac office in Washington, is
the naturalist. He also will assist Prof.
Bigelow. In 1879 ho discovered the leaf
like formations of the maidenhair fern,
which was pronounced by Prof. Asa Gray
one of the most wonderful of botanical
phenomena.
J. E. Carbutt is the photographer. He also
is an analytical chemist. His father made
the negatives of the eclipse of 1869 for Prof.
Henry Morton, who, in appreciation of
those services, presented him with thecamera
and enlarging lens and the electrical expos
ing apparatus which he had used, and which
will be used again at Maxima. Some of the
dry plates used will be orthochnamatic and
moderately rapid, sensitometer number 16,
and some will be eclipse orthoehramatic,
sensitometer number 27. The former will be
used lor taking tbe partial phases, and tbe
latter will be used during totality, with the
intention of obtaining a more perfect image
of the corona than has ever been obtained.
PEOF. BRASHEAR'S MIRROR.
The diameter of the sun on the photo
graphs will be four inches, a greater diame
ter than ever before taken. The grjat mirror
to be used in connection with the photog
raphy was made for Prof. Langley, of tbe
Smithsonian Institute, by Prof. J. H. Bra
shear, of Pittsburg, at a cost ot 510,000. E.
J. Wright is tbe assistant photographer.
Prof. L. N. Jacobi is assistant astronomer
and meteorologist. He will also make
investigations in natural history.
Prof. Cleveland Abbe, attached to the
army signal bureau, is the meteorologist.
E." B. Preston, of the Coast and Geodetic
Snrvey, will make magnetic observations
and gather information about gr.tvitation.
W. H. Brown, of the National Museum,
at Washington, is the osteologist and nat
uralist of the expedition. His assistant is
A. H. Brown, his brother.
H. S. Davis, of Princeton, is one of the
assistant astronomers. He will give atten
tion to the adjustment of the instruments,
at which he is' an expert.
G. E. Van Guysling will study the winds
and clouds, and on the voyage will send up
a lot of little red balloons.
C. A. Orr is the ethnologist and ornitholo
gist, Hcli Chatelaine, master of a dozen lan
guages, including Portuguese, is the inter
preter. George T. Flint is the stenographer and
typewriter.
Dr. Bartlett is the apothecary and profes
sional nurse.
On the coast the party will drink water
that has been boiled- and filtered to preserve
them from the deadly African fevers. Never
theless Prof. Todd and all the rest have
made their wills.
THE' WESTERN USI0N MDSr PAT.
Philadelphia Wins a Suit to Ilecover License
Fees for Poles and Wires.
Philadelphia, October 16. The city's
suit agaiust the Western Union Telegraph
Company to recover license fees of $1 a pole
and 52 50 on each mile of wire for the years
1885-85-87-88 ended in a verdict for the com
plainant to-day in the United States Circuit
Court for 514,438. A similar suit to recover
license fees lor the years 1883-84 came before
Judge Hare in th'e Common Pleas Court
some time ago and was decided in favor of
the city. The matter was, however, by
agreement sent to a referee, who found that
the charges required to be paid were exces
sive. Judge Hare confirmed the referee's
report That case went to the Supreme
Court, where the finding ot the Court was
sustained.
The telegraph company paid the' money
found to be due for 1883 and 1884, but when
the amount claimed for the subsequent
years was sought to be collected payment
was refused, and in that way the present
suit arose.

Richmond, Va., October 16. Mahone is
in a towering rage to-night, and even the
Hon. Julius Ca;sar Burrows exhibited some
temper. Tne couple undertpok to speak to
day at Hanover Court House. Mahone
said his say, but soon afcer Mr. Burrows
began a lively bear was seen to climb a
large tree nearby and turn somersaults and
otherwise disport himself.
The result was that the crowd guffijwed
and yelled at the bear. -Then the bear got
down from the tree and Mr. Burrows resumed,
whereupon the bear went aloft again, and,
as Mr. Burrows reached an eloquent climax
the animal danced a jig on the top end of
the limb, and the telling words of the orator
were lost in the yells of the crowd at the
bear, whose movements were directed by a
Turk. In a little while Burrows lost his
audience, for at each attempt at a new point
on the tariff the bear performed a new trick.
The bear director was seen in company
of Democrats before and alter the meeting,
and seemed to be enjoying the honors won
by his pet. A Democratic orator went to
the Court House and said that as a choice
between sleeping with Mahone and the
bear, he would rather sleep with the bear.
A POSSIBLE CASE,
Using Uncle Sam to Get Chenp Glove on
Hand at Sinkers' Expense.
ISrECJAL TEIEGRAH TO TBI DISFATCH.l
New Yoke, October 16. Suit has been
begun in the Supreme Court in this city by
Bruno TJhle and Alex. Von "Wagner, manu
facturers of gloves and hosiery at Chemnitz,
Saxony, against Burnham, Hanna, Munger
& Co., one of the largest drygoods houses in
the West, with stores at Kansas City and
Detroit and a branch at 34 Thomas street in
this city, for $10,000 for goods alleged to
have been purchased by the defendants and
never paid for, and for $10,000 more for
damages consequent upon the refusal of the
defendants to accept other goods manufact
ured for them.
The whole matter involves, according to
the story of Charles Putzel, who represents
the plaintiffs in the suit in this city, a con
spiracy between Burnham, Hanna, Munger
& Co. and one Jules Arbit, of Kansas City,
to obtain manufactured goods at far less
than their value in order to undersell com
petitors, the loss to fall upon the manufac
turers. Arbit appeared in Kansas City, Mr. Put
zel says, about six months ago, and set up
as a manufacturers' azent in a small office
in one of the big office buildincrs there. He
kept no stock and sold entirely by sample.
He wrote to TJhle and Von "Wagner, in Ger
many, and wanted authority to act as their
agent. He got some sort of authority, but
Mr. Putzel says that it was only to sell
goods and not to collect money. That is a
question of fact upon which the whole
case will, probably hinge. Burnham
Hanna, Munger & Co. ordered through
him $10,000 worth of TJhle & Von Wagner's
goods and the firm honored the order, con
signing the goods, it is said, to Burnham,
Hanna, Munger & Co. and not to Arbit
JLhe nrm had Arbit hx, up a preliminary in
voice, pending the arrival of the regular
consular invoice from Germany. The regu
lar invoice came duly to hand and the cus
toms authorities discovered that the pre
liminary invoice was a round 60 per cent
below the value put on the goads by the
manufacturers. Burnham, Hanna, Munger
& Co. were notified to pay a penalty of $820
for this discrepancy, and it is said did so.
The goods thus secured through Arbit for
GO per cent off, which is said to have put
them 40 per cent below tbe actual costof man
ufacture naturally went off like hot cakes,
and.all of Burnham, Hanna, Munger&Co.'s
customers ordered more right away. Order
after order was sent to Germany through
Arbit until $90,000 worth of goods, besides
the original shipment, were on their way
here or were being rushed through the fac
tories in Germany.
A MURDERER DIES.
Providence Loses Confidence In a South
Carolina Jnrj's Justice.
(SPECIAL TELZGBAM TO THE DISPATCH. J
Charleston, S. C, October 16. Death
to-day ended one of the most interesting
murder cases, outside of the McDow trial
for the murder of I". W. Dawson, that has
ever been presented to the courts in this
State. It has been said by some that Provi
dence has lost confidence in the average
South Carolina jury. John T. Lyon, of
Abbeville county, who brutally slew D. L.
Mabrey, died in jail. The court which was
to try him was in session, but his lawyers
had already obtained a continuance of the
case. Had he lived it is very probable that
he would have escaped, as most murderers
do in this State.
The crime occurred last May. The mur
derer is a native of the State and was about
62 years old. Like a good many South
Carolina murderers he is respectably con
nected. His victim was also a native Caro
linian and respectably connected. He was
only 26 years old. The murderer was the
stepfather of the wife of his victim. On the
morning of the murder Mabrey had to pass
Lyon's place of business. When nearly in
front of the town academy Lyon emerged
from the building, or arose from near it,
advanced a fewstepstowardMabrey's route,
cocked his gun, and covering Mabrey with
it.asked him if he wanted to fight. Mabrey
said nothing. Lyon drew his gun down on
him. Mabrey S3id he was a coward if he
shot. Lyon shot, Mabrey staggerea and
fell, asking Lyon not to shoot again as he
was dead. Lyon shot him again and hold
ing his- gnn down passed near the dying
man and entered a residence near by. Later
he went to the wife ot his victim to break
the news of her husband's death to her.
Both sides were represented by able coun
sel and a long legal fight was anticipated.
The interposition of Providence has proba
bly saved several thousand dollars in the
county of Abbeville.' The mystery of the
motive of the crime will probably never be
revealed.
R0IAL WEDDING FESTIYITIES.

WfiAKT OF BANQUETS
Tho Pan-American Delegates Have
Had Quito Enongh of Feasting.
AN EMPHATIC PROTEST ENTERED
By Jlanaer Cnrtis, Who Suggests SomB
Changes in the Programme.
THE FOREIGNERS OFF TO DETROIT
After Beinj Royally Entertained by the Citizens of
Clereland.
The Pan-American delegates have had
enough of banquets and of factories. They
are weary of sightseeing, and the programme
has been changed so as to make their tour
r more of a pleasure excursion hereafter.
Cleveland, October 16. The All
American excursionists did not arise until
late, although Cleveland was astir very
early to arrange for their entertainment
The delegates are apparently getting weary
of sightseeing and late hours, for the ma
jority of them slept until 10 o'clock to-day.
Two Southern delegates were left at Buffalo
yesterday morning. They were called at 6
o'clock and several times thereafter, but re
refused to rise until they had secured rest
The train left without them, and they re
joined the party this morning. There are some
who feel that if they sustain the wear of the
hurrying journey until Chicago is reached,
they will be obliged to halt or quit unless
the pace of the itineracy is modified. Those
who are for the first time in the North are
BEWILDEKED "WITH SIGHTSEEING.
They have not time for thorough inspec
tion of much that interests, and a sense of
being whirled about is lessening the keen
edge of observation and interest. The easy
living Southrons loyally strive, however, to
seem not lacking in interest or reciprocal
courtesy. The question is one oi physical
endurance.
After returning from the various tours
of tbe city, a hotel lunch was had at 1
o'clock this afternoon, after which a drive
was begun in the residence portion and
to the lake views. Euclid avenue was
compared by many of the foreigners with
the Cambridge drive near Boston, and
with Delaware avenue, in Buffalo,
which until their arrival here had been
the finest residence districts visited by the
tourists. During the afternoon drive the
Garfield memorial monument was visited,
as were several of the more pretentious
houses on Euclid avenue.
OPP FOE DETEOIT.
Previous to the public reception at the
hotel during the evening adeputation of
school children called and presented the
party with choice botonnieres for use upon
the occasion. At 11 o'clock the party, on
board their train, started away for Detroit
Mr. William E. Curtis, the manager of
the excursion, has telegraphed to the points
yet to be visited by the members of the In
ternational Congress, requesting the recep
tion committee to abandon that part of their
programme which provides for banquets, in
merer to the exhausted delegates. He has
also stated to the committees that they have
had a surfeit.
A YACHTING EXCURSION NEXT.
The plans for to-morrow in Detroit have
been yibanged to correspond with Mr.
Curtis' x views, and, according 'to the
present arrangement, the party will,
upon its arrival there, be taken aboard
steam yachts and given an opportunity to
view the shipping in the river. Then will
follow a luncheon at the residenceof Hon.
James McMillan, after which the party will
8u U UilUJUWll
An effort was made to-day to change the
programme ss as to take the excursionists
from Cleveland to Detroit by steamboat to
night, but it was deemed best that they
should continue their journey in the Penn
sylvania Jtailroad train which has been
found so comfortable.

named Doyle along Penn avenue. A crowd
of boys, among whom was Bums, com
