L.) 2 It was a fine frame between the local and Cleveland Players' League club yesterday at Exposition Park. It was fine, bnt not one of the finest, bnt it was considerably finer than the weather. Just before the time for starting the game Old Sol went be hind some huge black rain clouds and they began to empty their contents beneath. This unfortunate circumstance happened jnst when people would be making up their minds about patronizing the game, and as a result only 751 people were present on the first day of cheap ball. Undoubtedly the attendance would have been much larger had the weather been at all favorable. The rain, however, didn't cease when the game began, bnt It came down more or less during the entire game. Atone stage "time" was called, and at that time the water was falling briskly. There was a strong demand by the local team ana the spectators to have "time" called before the fifth inning was played out. The visitors were one run ahead and the umpires wouldn't stop the contest. SOME GOOD PLATIXC. Considering the rain and the soft condition of the ground, the contest was very well played. There was some brilliant fielding, and, in somo few Instances, some very poor. Radford made a splendid catch of a long fly from Fields' bat; Knehne ana Corcoran did well, but Visner bad something like an off day. He did not play well. Old Sport Galvin. however, was something of a mark for the Cleveland sluggers. His colleagues did not support him in first-class style certainty, but his pitching was just about what the visit ors wanted. It was strawberry jam for Dele banty. and that individual, without any appar ent remorse, tonched the old man up for four hits. Including two two-baggers. Jeems wasnot as gay as he usually is, and probably the moist atmosphere caused bis vigor to relax a little. Despite the big bitting of the visitors, however, the borne players made the game excitingly close, and tied the scare in the ninth inning. Air. uakelv did not escape something of a trouncinc Becklcy particularly tbumnedbim bard and knocked out two doubles and a rat tling three-bagger. The visitors, however, backed np their pitcher in great shape and hardly anything but clean hits could send in a run. Al Johnson's lot are not so bad as their work at Buffalo would lead Deople to believe they are. They can put up a very strong game, and when once they size a pitcher up, goodness help him. They have a very good outUeld and an excellent inbeld. HUBLEY DID VERY WELL. Jerry Hurley caught his first game and did well. He bad no chance to throw to second, as the grounds were very muddy and Galvin caused the runners to hug the bases very, very close. Jerry, however, did all that was asked of him, and he did it very well. Sutcliffe also caught a good game and made some excellent throws to second which killed all desire on the part of the home players to try and pur loin" bases. There was the usual kicking at the empires, but Gunning displayed one good qual ity yesterday, viz that when he made a de cision be was very emphatic in it. This ought to induce players to see the futility of kicking against a decision that cannot and won't be chanced. Kicking under the circumstances only causes an unpleasant temper among the spectators, and is often unfair to the umpire. Both clubs made their first runs in the second inning. For the home team Kuehue got bis base on balls, and in trying to steal second was easily thrown out by Sutcliffe. Corcoran struck out. and then Hurley sent out a nice single to center field. Robinson got his base on called balls, and old Galvin ent Hurlev home br a single to left. Radford muffed Hanlon's "fly. and Robinson scored, Galvin getting to second. Hanlonwasat first and tried to steal second, but Mr. Sutcliffe's throw was too good, and the manager was nabbed. BECKLEY'S TUBEE-BAGGEB. In the fifth Inning, after two men were out, Visner knocked out a single to left, and big Jake Beckley loomed up. Jake, with a tre mendous swipe, banged tho ball against the rl3ht field fence for three bases, scoring VisDer. - In the eighth inning Fields led off with a single to left, and Kuehno followed suit with another to center. Corcoran struck out, but a wild throw of Sutcliffe to second advance Fields and Kuehne a base each. Hurley sacri ficed. Fields home and Robinson's two-bagger over third base sent Knehne home. In the ninth inning, after Visner had struck out. Becklcy thumped out another double, and tied the score on a double to left by Fields. The visitors tied the score in the second in ning. Trboau made a single and got second on a wild throw by Robinson of Larkin's grounder. Radford's sacrifice advanced both men a base. Sutcliffe flow out to Corcoran, and Bakely's lone single scored the two runs. In the third Innicc I)elehaatv's two-bacger tn left and an other double in the same direction by Brown in: earned another run. A base on balls, a wild throw bv Visner and a single by Delehanty enabled Strieker to score in the third. Gal vin's fumble, Tebeau's sacriflce and Radford's slncle sentTwitchell home in the filth. A donble each by Delehanty and Browning in the sixth earned another run. In the ninth Browning got bis base on bails. A wild pitch and singles byTwitcbellandTebeau sent Browning home with the winning run, with nobody out. The score: rrrrsnCRO. R e p a e CLEVELAND. R B P A E Hanlon, m Visner. r.... Heckler. 1...

Hecker'n Colts Meet Their First Defent Avray From Ilome Daniels la Hit Hard Consblln Pitches Well Results of Other N. L. Games. SPECIAL TELEGHAU TO THE EISPATCn.l CniCAGO, April 29. The Chicago end of the National League baseball season opened this afternoon in a game between Captain Anson and his colts and the Pittsburgs. There was no attempt at any big demonstrations, the only thing that was capable of making any noise be sides the cranks on the bleachers being a rather puffy and wheezy brass band. The weather partook ot an Arctic character, and to that President Spalding attributes the fact that there were only 2,500 people present It did not seem much like a Chicago game, Anson and Burns being the only men of the local team who wore the black and gray last season. The Pittsburgs did not look natural either, and in to-day's game there were only three men of the team that cleaned the Chicagos out at the opening a year ago. The new faces in the Chicaeo nine took very well with the crowd. The two local League men wore given huge bunches of flowers and the rest all received a welcoming cheer as they came to bat Anson and Burns were v also given a hearty hand. No one in the crowd was man enough to say anything about the Brother hood. The game itself was rather out of joint It was a good amateur performance, and that is about all that can be said of it In batting the Chicagos bad all the best of it The new blood, both young and old, showed a remark able propensity for base hits. They pounded Daniels for ten hits with a total of IS and earned five of their nine runs. Young Cougb lin, Anson's California find, pitched a remark ably good game, keeping the Jonahs down to five scattering bits. After the Pittsburgs had Deen let down in the first young Cooney rapped out a three-bagger on tbe second ball that came over the plate. Then old Cliff Carroll shoe another three soaker in an opposite direction, and scored a moment later on a sacrifice. The Jonahs tied tbe soore in the second on bad errors by Wil mot and Burns, a single and a sacrifice. The Chicagos added a coupU more to their string in tbe second, both of them earned, on doubles by O'Brien and Coughllu and a single by Cooney. Hemp scored for the Pittsburgs in the third, and Miller made their last run in the eighth on a base on balls, a hit and a wild throw by O'Brien. Andrews scoreO for the Chicagos in the tnird and in tbe fourth. Kaglo and Cooney made the circuit and carried in each an unearned run. Burns scored in the i-eventb, and Nagla made the last Chicago bean in tne eighth on bis own bit, a sacrifice and a sham drive by Carroll. The score: CHICAGO. E B P A riTTSBUEC. E B P A K Coonev. s.

Bankers and business men in Philadel phia profess a total ignorance of the valne of much of the collaterals on which the American Life Insurance Company has loaned $716,000. The friends of Senator MacFarlane, the President of the company, are trying hard to help him out of his diffi culty. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH. Philadelphia, April 29. J. M. Fos ter, Insurance Commissioner of Pennsyl vania, arrived in this city to-night to look into the affairs of the American Life Insur ance Company. This afternoon a telegram from Commissioner Foster to George Thomp kins, of 1001 Chestnut street, whose business it is to make examination of Philadelphia insurance corporations, announced the necessity of making an investigation at once, and the two experts are expected to go to work to-morrow. The financial community was startled to day by the statement furnished by Com missioner Foster of the assets of the Ameri can Life, and the collateral upon which the company had loaned money to the amount of $716,767 93. Inquiry of the principal bankers of the city showed that there was a total ignorance among dealers in loans and collaterals as to the majority of the concerns that appeared in the schedule of assets, and a distrust ot the remainder. UNMARKETABLE SECURITIES. The manager of one of the leading bank ing institutions of the city, after looking over the list of collateral assets, said: "We would not loan any money on sneb se curities as appear here with the exception of the few shares of marketable stocks, be cause we know nothing of the most of them and too much ot the rest, .None of these se curities can be marketed. Almost all of them are not listed in the Stock Exchange, and it wonld be impossible to find pur chasers in case it should be found necessary to dispose of them to make good money loaned. No reputable bank or trust com pany loans monev on doubtful collateral un less in the case of some regular customer or an individual in good financial standing with whom there is little risk." Tbe President of a leading national bank dismissed the list with the remark: "We never did loan moneyon such collateral and we never will. You will hear the same from any other standard bank. For myself I know absolutely nothing about the com panies whose securities appear in this list." UNKNOWN IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES. Remarks of similar tenor were made by the officers of every bank visited. Presi dent MacFarlane, of the American Life, refused to clear the mystery surrounding the companies on the securities of which his corporation has advanced so much money, and several of which have offices in the Fourth and Walnut streets buildings. Ho merely saw that they were all solvent and reliable concerns and not in any jeopardy that he knew of. Nobody in this city ap pears to have heard of the Macon Gas Light ana water uompany nonas, ana suburban railway stock, "Hydro Carbon Gas," "Black Warriors," "Southwestern Mining Com pany," and "American Land 'and Cattle Company" are yet to be introduced in lead ing financial circles. Of the Equity Gas Light Company, on the bonds of which' the American Life loaned $150,000, Thomas Cochran, late president of the Guarantee Trust, was until recently president. Dell Noblitt was president of the American Land and Cattle Conipauy. The publication of the last annual state ment of the American Life resulted to-day ju biurLiiug ueunue iu me price ox tne stock. Five hundred shares, which had been held as collateral, were offered at the regular auction sale of M. Thomas & Son. Two hundred shares sold for $10: 100 for 11 B0 and 200 or $13 B0. A BIO FALL IN THE STOCK. It was the stock of the American Life that President MacFarlane said he had put up as collateral for his loans. Alter the sale of the 500 shares the auctioneer an nounced that he had other lots to offer, but they were limited in price. The limit in one case was) 30 and in another par, or 50. There was no bid. It was stated that the sale of 200 shares at 10 was made by the Bankof North America, not the Bank of America. The last previ ous sale of American Life stock was at Hi and recently bids were made at 69. Senator MacFarlane, in spite of the wear and tear of ill health and business compli cations, was at his 'office in the American Life Insurance Company building at an early hour to confront and combat the peril ous condition of his credit and to assist in steering the insurance company, of which he is president, clear of any threatening complications. The Senator has a great many friends. A number of them visited his o'ffice bright and early with the intention of affording any assistance in the present emergency that might lay in their power. TBYING TO HELP HIM OUT. The most important financiers who were closeted with the embarrassed President were George F. Work, Secretary and Treas urer ot the American innnncial Associa tion, and Louis E. Pfeiffer, President of the Bank of America. For a couple of hours preceding the noon hour a close and secret consultation was held on the fourtlt floor of the building between President MacFarlane and the directors of the com pany, the most active of whom, and those who" have been taking steps in the present difficulty, are Charles G. Eobeson, Walter E. Bex and George W. Hall. Mr. MacFar land did not amend his statement made on the day before that he was unprepared to meet his obligations, but he said that friends were contributing money to help him out, and that, if his creditors wonld wait for him, his credit might yet be "placed in a condition to survive his obligations. Throughout the day he was in and out of his office, making flying trips to banks and brokers and returning to consult with his friends at the Amarican Life buildtng. He and Mr. Work made several visits to the Bank of America, which is credited with a deposit ot the greater part of.. the cash assets of the insurance company. Secretary Wilson, of the American Life, said that there was no extraordinary run on the company by depositors, and that only a few hundred dollars had been demanded of them during the day, and all checks pre sented were paid. Most of the depositors are connected with the company or the com panies which figure in its assets, and the to tal deposit account is not much over $100, 000. TAH0BS LEFT OUT. The Other Trades In Youncttown Get What They Ask. rFFECIAL TELEOBAH TO THE DISPATCH.! YoUHGSTOWir, April 29. Those In & position to know the facts assert that there will be no strike here among the carpenters on May L Recently tbe Carpenters' Union made a de mand on tbe contractors for an advance in wages to take effect May 1, and it is understood in labor circles that the contractors will accept the scale offered. Thore is a large amount of building already under contract here, and as tbe outlook indi cates a prosperous summer a strike is not looked tor. Aside from tbe tailors, the demands made by other labor organizations here have been con. ceaeo, ALLIANCE WITH ROYALTY. TWO MARRIAGES REQUIRED TO CREATE A COUNTESS. Tho Wedding of Miss Mnry Wheeler and ninxomltinn Von Pnppenbeluj, of Bavnrla. A Clrll Ceremony xestenlar and a Church Display To-Day A Very Fash ionable AffUlr. rsrjrCIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DIBPATCH.1 Philadelphia, April 29. The wedding of Miss Mary Wheeler and Count Maxa milian Yon Fappenheim, of Bavaria, which will take place in St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church to-morrow, will be one of the most brilliant held in Philadelphia in many years, and attracts widespread inter est. The attractions, wealth and family connections of the bride-elect, tbe pretty romance involved, and tbe distinguished social position held by the Count in Europe as the head of a family allied to royalty, which has occupied the same estates for a thousand years, all tend to make it an ex traordinary occasion, in which not only the fashionable society of Philadelphia will be fully represented, but some of the most prominent people in New York and many titled and other notable personages con nected with foreign legations from Wash ington. Although they did not know it when they separated to-night, after a sociable evening in Mrs. Wheeler's house, winding up with a dance, the sweet-faced young Quaker belle and manly-looking young Prince were as legally mnch man and wife as they will be after the sacramental offices of the church this afternoon. In accordance with certain legal requirements and at the suggestion of legal representatives of the families on both sides, they went before the Mayor this afternoon and went through the prelimin ary form of a civil marriage according to foreign usages. In accordance with Bava rian law and usage it is absolutely neces sary. It was a very cut-and-dried per functory affair, and consisted of their merely reciting the formula and signing of the blanks' by themselves and witnesses. The only others present were the bride's mother, Richard C. McMurtrie, the family conuselor, and two of the Mayor's clerks. xne wedding to-morrow will be a most imposing affair. The church is being elab orately decorated. There will be 12 bride maids, including several prominent ladies from other cities. The groomsmen and ushers will include many titled person ages connected with the German, Swedish, Russian and other legations. They will wear their court uniforms. The bride will be in white satin withont any ornaments whatever. The reception that is to follow the wedding ceremony will be a very large one, and will be attended by most of the fashionable belles and matrons of Philadel phia, who have been entertained in Mrs. Wheeler's house, and among whom the bride-elect is very popular. ABTXRNIKOB0AT. The Captnin's Presence of mind and Courage Saves tbo Passengers. JACKSONVILLE, April 29. The H. B. Plant, St. John's river steamer of the Peo ple's Line of the Plant system, was de stroyed by fire early this morning in Beres ford Lake, a large sheet opening out of St. John's river, 100 miles south of this city, causing the loss of three lives one deck passenger, John Collins; one deck hand and Albert Mallory, a waiter boy, all colored. An alarm was first sounded at 4:30, when the entire forward part of the vessel blazed up. The chief cook and deckhands woke up the passengers, and all were in a horrible state of fright and alarm. Half-dressed and nude passengers jumped overboard, and in their fright began swimming away from the landing. Captain Hall, with rare presence of mind, had the lifeboat cast off, and held htr beside the burning vessel, revolver in hand. He then called fcr the women and chil dren, and put them iu first, not letting a man approach. These were landed, and then all the others were rescued, all in nearly a nude condition. The Captain's coolness saved the lives of all. A CXOUD OF WITNESSES Before the Clayton-Breckinridge Committee Regarding tho Stolen Ballot Box. Little Rock, April 29.

Dnrstin with the paper they were bringing him should have changed the nature of his thoughts. But nothing of the kind hap pened. Mr. Dnrstin made no explanations. He simply read the paper and asked Kemmler to sign it The doomed man took the paper that meant the postponement of his doom as if it were really some paper he had to sign to express bis willingness to die, or as if it were a confession of his sins. His listless manner justified the assump tion that possibly he thought this was a formality always observed before an execu tion. He seemed as if he wonld not be sur prised if, after signing it, he should be or dered to kneel for the last time and then to get up and go to tbe death chamber. Not once did he ask a question. He put his name on the document with studious pleas ure, Droud of being able to write, and then gazed in an absent way at the notary while he affixed his signature. A TALK "WITH SHERMAN. A special telegram from Syracuse, N. Y., says: Roger M. Sherman, the lawyer, whose efforts succeeded in saving Kemmler's life, for tbe present at least, left Auburn as soon as possible after he became certain that the writ of habeas corpus would Berve its in tended purpose. He came directly here and was prompllv interviewed. He declined positively to say who his employers were, but ho emphatically denied that he had been retained by Kemmler, the Westing house or any other electric lighting com pany. Mr. Sherman was asked to give The Dispatch some of the points on which he hopes to prove the unconstitu tionality of the law. He said: The Court of Appeals has passed on a ques tion which may seem at first blush, similiar to this, but it sajs in its. opinion that tho only question it decides is the constitutionality of this law under the State constitution. It holds that the question whether this law imposes a cruel and unusual punishment is a legislative and not a judicial question, and that the courts are not at liberty to pass upon the questions of fact or upon the evidence, which was taken to a voluminous extent on that subject This writ of habeas corpus is not intended to raise any question nnder the State constitution as the Federal courts have no jurisdiction to en tertain such questions. THE OBJECT OF IT. Its object Is to determlnowhethertholaw vio lates tbe eighth and fourteenth amendments of tho Federal Constitution. Tbe eighth and four teenth amendments contain the same pro visions forbidding cruel and unusual punish ments for crime as those contained in the State Constitution, and tha fourteenth amendment provides that no State shall pass or enforce any law abridcinir the nrivilezes and immuni ties of citizens of the United States, and it also firovides that no person shall be deprived of If e, liberty or property withont due process of law. The provisions of tho Federal Constitu tion and tbo acts of Congress passed to enforce them, empower tho Circuit Court of the United States to inquire whether a State law is iu violation of these privileges as an original and independent question, and the Supreme Court of the United States has in many decisions held that such questions can not be determined by an inspection of the State law, but the Federal courts must inquire whether in fact In its operation the State law had that effect so that while the Court of Ap peals holds that the law must appear on its face unconstitutional, the Federal courts hold that they are not concluded by any form or enactment, but are empowered and required to go back of the statute and determine the question independent of the Legislature for themselves. The result In this case of this difference be tween the State and Federal principle is this: Notwithstanding, the Court of Appeals has declined to pass judicially on toe question whether the evidence taken proved tnat this punishment was cruel, the Federal courts are bound to determine that Question. It has not yet been judicially decided that killing by electricity is or is not in fact cruel. The Court of Appeals says that tho Legislature has decided that question and that the courts of the State are bound by that decision. SOME MINOR POINTS. It is my expectation that the Federal courts will consider such evidence as may bo adduced on that point, and if they differ from the Legis lature and determine that it is a cruel and un usual punishment they will declare tbe law to be unconstitutional, and discbarge Kemmler under this writ There are several other ques tions of minor importance, any one of them sufficient, in my judgment to invalidate this law. For instance, that tbe newspapers shall publish no report of the killing under penal consequences, except that It took place accord ing to law. It is conceivable that the killing may take place in violation of every statutory and human law. No ono can certainly say that a truthful report of the occurrence would not make known such borrihle features as to raise a popular outcry which would result in the im mediate repeal, but if such should be the case such truthful report wonld expose the publish er and reporter to a legal prosecution. One of tbe best conceivable safeguards for the permanent infliction of cruel punishment is to shroud the execution in mystery and to send a truthful reporter of tho outrage to the peni tentiary. This law, therefore, takes away from a criminal an important safeguard against ex cessive punishment It is not only an unlawful restriction of tbe freedom of speech and of tbe press, bnt an actual encroachment on the rights of tho criminal. Of that encroachment he is entitled in this manner to complain. It may be that a law for electrical killing could be enacted consistently with the Constitution if it omitted these OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES, but as this law stand' in the existing uncertain knowledge of the effect of powerful electric currents, the least that cau be claimed is that tho people, who are the ultimate tribunal, must decide whether this moJe of electrical killing shall stand. Therefore, tbe claim that we make is that the public should be fully informed of tbe effect of such a current intentionally di rected to the killing of a human being. In the opinion ot Mr. Sherman the pris oner, Kemmler, and all the other murder ers who have been sentenced to die by the new law will have to be given their liberty in case the law is decided to be unconstitu tional. Dr. A. P. Soutbwick, who has been fighting in favor of the electric killing law for 15 years, does not agree with Mr. Sherman in this matter. He says that he has made a thorough study of this aspect of the case and he is certain that if anything prevents the operation of this new law that the old law will resume its force. A HEW SKIN GAME. Importing Opium Neatly Pncked Up In tbe SUin of Lemons. Chicago, April 29. A new opium smuggling Bcheme was brought to light in one of the city police courts this morning. When tJack Lie's opium den was raided last night, the officers found several inmates, and among the smoking paraphernalia several lemon rinds, eachtcontaining two ounces of the black narcotic paste. It is said that lsrge quantities of oplnm are being smuggled into this country in this manner. The lemons are artistically sliced near the end, the pulp and seeds are re moved, and the "hop," or opium, is neatly packed in. The cover is then sealed with some unknown cement, and the traces of the seam obliterated with a compound of the same color as the rind. A WEECKLTO BEE.
