t Syracuse Stars Give Tliem Their First Defeat. THE STRUGGLING PEDS. Howartb. Moore, Herly and Kolan Cause Great Excitement. THE SPORTING KEWS OF THE DAT The Colts, of the local National League club, suffered their first defeat. The Syra cuse stars beat them. The local pedestrian contest created greatexcitement. The racing was very fast. Corbett will bet Sulliran $5,000 that he can stand four rounds before him, Sullivan. Sir Guy Hecker's colts, of the National League, suffered defeat yesterday at the hands of the aggregation of ball players known as the Syracuse St rs. These lu minaries have just become members of the American Association, and doubtless their ambition was high ycsteiday to lay the youngsters of the old League low. Victory perched on the banner of the visitors, and they simply got what they deserved. They won the game on its merits, and that does not even say much for the quality of the game. Xeither club played its best, that 1?. neither played in its best form. At some stages the playing was very seedy indeed, and the only redeeming features were some occasional good fielding and a natting streak by the Stars. AN ENTHUSIASTIC CEOWD. The weather was extremely fine and about 500 people were present. The crowd, not a bad one for an exhibition game on Monday, was Tery enthusiastic. The contest, generally speaking, was not of a high class order, but It was tor a long time close enough to be exciting. Its early stages were marked by some bad play ing ty the two shortstops, and Battin, old Joe, contributed to the column of errors. Hemp and Sunday, too, were a U'tle oil and made two mistakes that ordinarily will not happen. The weakest point of the home players, however, was their battery. They could do nothing with the stick, excepting, of course, little DuckeyHemp. He scored his three raps and they were good ones. Sowders pitched the entire game for the Colts, although it was intended to relieve him bv Gray. The argument was too close, how ever, and Sowders was in good form until the fatal eighth inning. Up to that point the Stars could do little with him, but there they nailed him for four good hard thumps. Lyons pitched the first five innings for the Stars and did fairly welL He promises to be a good pitcher, but at present seems to be a little unsteady; He gave three bases on balls and hit one man with the ball. Briggs caught him very well. Dan Casey; of course all Pittsburg cranks known Dan. He umpired a game here one day that will not readdv be forgotten. He was under the care of old Harry Wright then. Well, Dan pitched the last four innings, and he was a puzzler. Only to hits were made off his delivery, and that was in the eichth inning. He pitched in something like his old-time form, when be used to be a tough enigma to the big hitters of the old team. WHEN THEY SCOKED. The home players were first to score, and-anly the very wretched fielding of the Stars per mitted this. In the second inning, after Miller had reached first on balls. La Roque reached first on a muffed fly by McLaughlin. The mis take was a glaring one, but amends were made bypnttmg Miller out at second. Boutcliife was then hit by a pitched ball. La Roque then stole his way to third, and RoutcliSe got to second. Youngman sent both men home by a lively single to right field. In the second inning Sunday obtained his base on balls, and reached third on a single by Hemp. A sacrifice hit by Hincs sent Sunday home. In the fifth inning, after Sunday was out. Hemp banged the ball over Wngbt's head for two bases. Hines got his base on balls. Hemp tried to pilfer third and Briggs threw the ball to Battin who muffed the throw and Hemp got home. The visitors were presented with three runs in the third inning. The youngsters made some what of a poor show in this inning. After Brings had been retired Lvons reached first on a muffed fly by Hemp. Ljons reached second on a sacrifice by Wright. Dorgan knocked a grounder to La Roque who fumbled is. Ely sent another grounder to La Roque, who picked the ball up splendidly but threw it to the fence of the bleachers. Casey and Dorgan scored. McQnery knocked a fly to Sunday, who muffed it, and then McLaughlin thumped out a twu-bagger. All this sent in three runs. In the eighth the people from Syracuse jumped on to Mr. Sowders. McQuery com menced with a double to left and McLaughlin sacrificed him to third. Morrison made a single to right, McQuery scoring. Battin's sacrifice sent Morrison to second, and Briggs sent in the winning run by a two-bagger to center field. Casey made a scratch single and Wright knocked a grounder to Roat. who threw the ball over Paul Hmes' head, allowing both Casey and Briggs to score. Zacharias did very well as umpire.

The great six-day pedestrian contest, in the Central Rink, continued to be an exciting affair yesterday. During the day more than 2.000 paid for admission, many ladies being among the crowd. The enthusiasm was kept up among the spectators, and particularly in the evening when almost all the members of the Players' League Ball Club appeared and cheered lustily for Guerrero. He responded to their cheers by showing bis great speed. He happened an aocident in tho morning, however, which somewhat injured him. When running he slipped and fell peeling the skin from bis arm and left leg. He also hurt his leg. The race during the greater part of the day was between Howarth. Moore. Hegelman. Nolan and Herty. Howarth kept two miles in front of Moore who was a mile and a half in front of Nolan and the latter was a mile or so ahead of Hegelman and HertyJ Ho warth was the first to pass the "century" mark and he did so amid rinsing cheers. He is a splendid runner. Moore, Nolan and Heeel man passed the mark named shortly after Howarth. The latter persisted in making the race desperate and he did not leave the track until about 9 o'clock. Then Moore took first place and closely followed by the Lawrenceville champion, Nolan. The latter really surprised everybody by showing such good form. He has not had the best of attention but from to-day on he will be looked after. So far he has made a great race. Moore undoubtedlv is in first class condition. and so is Herty. When Howarth left the track Herty and'Noremao showed some great running. Herty is a very dangerous man, and Moore is evidently aware or that fact because he Keeps a close eye on Herty. Sam Day also surprised his friends by his steady going. Pete Golden shortly after 9 o'clock scored his 100 miles, and he was presented with a bouquet by the First Ward Dernacrats. The historic ward looks after Pete, and when his "century" was reached the band struck up "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning. It is, indeed, impossible to form anything like a correct idea as to who will be the first three at this early stage. The race is one of the most desperate ever seen. So far the pace has been remarkable and it would sjem impos sible for the cait to be kept up. No less than 16 of the 23 starters covered 100 miles within 21 hours, and each secured the J10 offered for accomplishing that feat. Day and others in addition each got a silk hat. Cartwright has retired for good and Hart is in bad shape. Nor emac, however, is going better than he gener ally does at the first stage of a race. And "Old" John Hughes is in the race, and he will let snmebodv know that before the week is out. Following are those who covered 100 miles In time to secure S10 each: Guerrero, Noremac, Moore, Golden, Connors, Howarth, Hegelman, Day. Burns. Nolan. Crozier. Glick. Fox. Ho- ran, Hughes. At 2 o'cicck this morning the race was still very close, though some of the men were feel ing their sores. Golden and Noremac both had very sore feet. Howarth, Moore and Herty were going very well.

A Soil to Recover nn Aliened Fraudulent Bonos Thousands Pnt Down in Dusters The Conns Must Decide V.'lilch One of Van linker's Victims Died First. The low-hung clouds that have lowered around the house of A P. Clever, of Robinson township, for several months have burst at last. J. M. Guffey, the extensive petroleum and natural gas developer, has entered suit against Clever and another man named Charles Scarborough in Common Pleas Court No. 1 for 535.00a The statement of the case is that on August 10, 1SS8. C. C. Cavener and S. S. Smith leased fifty acres of land in Robinson township, on which oil and gas were to bo soughtby the plain tiff. The question of bonus was not settled, and Mr. Guff ey agreed to pay as much as anyone else would within a stated period. In the state ment of the case it is claimed that Clever and Scarborough procured one Peter Gettman to make an offer of $20,000 bonus, a share of tho oil found, and 31,000 for each paying gas well struck. This offer, plaintiff alleges, was deceit fully and fraudulently made to defraud him, defendants knowing that Gettman could not and would not pay the amount specified, fie savs he has discovered this since he paid the $20,000, and in addition to the 520,000, ho has expended 515,000 in drilling holes in the farm, and the lesults, it seems, have been quite small. There is mncb complaint by some farmers that operators have "tied" them up to the verge of ruin, but Mr. Clever certainly wasn't in that class, as the tract leased by Mr. Guffey is assessed at not to exceed one-fourth of the bonus. MURDERER TAN BAKER'S VICTIMS. The Courts SInst Dccido Which One of the Women Was Killed First. W. G. Stewart, yesterday, applied to Register Conner for letters of administration to collect money in this county due the estate of Drucilla McWha, of Hancock county, W. Va. Mrs. McWha was one of the victims of Vaa Baker who murdered his wife and her mother, Mrs. McWha, and isnow serving a life sentence for the crime. The amount due the estate by parties in this county is about 5450. The settlement of the estate, it is stated, will likely give rise to a dispute in the West Vir ginia courts. Mrs. McWha, by her will, loft her whole estate to her daughter, the wife of Van Baker. Both women were found dead in the farm house where they were left dead by their murJerer, and the question is, who died first? If Mrs. McWha died first Mrs. Van Baker would inherit under the will and the estate would in turn go to her heirs at Jaw, in cluding Van Baker, the murderer and her hus band. If Mrs. Van Baker was the first to die the will would be void and the estate go to the heirs at law of Mrs. McWha, The murderer is the only one who can solve the question and the convicted man is an interested party, though in prison for life.

Copeland and Blair IN THE CASE QF MR, WEIRAUF. "I cannot tell yon the exact cause of my tronble, but it dates back over six years, and during that time, I have scarcely known a well day. I tried varions physicians, and countless remedies, spending a great deal of money, but could obtain no relief, until I placed myself under the care of Drs. Cope land and'Blair." The speaker was Mr. C. C. Weinkauf, the proprietor of a large provision market at 229 Frankstown avenue, a short distance from the Pennsylvania Railroad depot at East Liberty, nnd widely known throughout all the East End district. Mr. C C. Weinkauf ,2i9 Frankstown Avenue. "As I said," continued Mr. Weinkauf, "I was never well for six years. My head and nose were constantly stopped up. My eyes were weak and watery. There were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. I had a dull, heavy pain in my forehead. I could feel the mucus dropping back into my throat. My throat be came raw and inflamed. I was constantly hawking and raising. A dry, hacking cough set in. Sharp pains would shoot through my chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades. My heart would palpitate rapidly. This would be followed by a slow, irregular beating and a feeling of dizziness. My nights became rest less. My throat would nil up and my breath ing was labored and difficult. I would arise in the morning more tired than when I went to bed. I had no appetite and had a nauseating sensation in my stomach after eating. There was a heavy feeling in my chest as of a weight pressing down. I was reduced in weight, and became weaker and weaker every dav, until I was scarcely able to do my work. I was more like a dead than a living person." "How do you feel now?" "As well as I ever did in my life, and owe it all to the skillful treatment received from Dr. Copeland, under whose personal care I have been. Every symptom I mentioned has disap peared. I am gaining in weight, eat and sleep well, and can do a good day's work. It is sur prising that so many persons will waste time and money with other doctors and obtain no relief, when they can be treated and cured by this eminent specialist at a fee even lower than the prices of patent medicines. I am glad to make this statement and shall be pleased to verify it at any time." Mr. Weinkauf can be seen at the above ad dress, and this statement easily veriQed. HOME TREATMENT.
