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

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:

Collateral on Which the American
life Company Made Big Loans
UNKNOWN TO LEADING BANKERS,
The Concerns Which Secured a Large Part
of the .Nominal Assets
EEGAEDED WITH GENEEAL DISTRUST.
The Affairs ef Senator MacFarlane's Company to be
Investigated.
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.

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.

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.

NEW LEASER OF .LIFE.
Continued from first Page.
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.

Charleston, April 29. John Hankins, col
ored, yesterday morning went to the bouse ot
Emma Woodyard, a colored woman, and find
ing her in bed, told her to get np. She did as
requested and while she was dressing he pro
ceeded to drink some whisky from a bottle on
the mantlepiece, after which he told her to
come to him.
According to her story, as he approached he
threw bis arm around her neck and saying,
"Em, I love you," placed a pistol to the back of
her bead and fired, the ball ranging to tbe left
and upward, coming out aDout three inches
from where it entered. The wound is not
dangerous. Hankins was arrested and will
have a preliminary hearingas soon as his victim
is able to appear against him. He ex

starting to tbe house.

The Disagreeable Winter Gone.
Now that the cold, drizzly rains are trans
formed to delightful spring, and tbe muddy
roads to pleasant drives, it would be well to look
about and prepare for tbe lurking disease often
coming with tbe new vegetation, as to better
enable us to follow our daily avocations we
should be in good health and spirits. No wel
regulated family is without a stimulant of some
kind. Deception is probably more practiced by
unscrupulous dealers in liquors than any other
business. Max Klein, 82 Federal St., is a relia
ble party; to him we point with pleasure. No
deception, no misrepresentation, no sailing un
der false colors with him. His Silver Age Rve

Der quart only. His six-year-old Pennsylvania
Ryes at 81 each quart or six quarts for 85, aro
as represented. His wines, brandies and gins are
as good and reasonable as any in tbe country.

SPRING ADVICE.
Scientific Magazine.
Be careful of your diet Yon do not need
heavy food such a3 you require during the
winter.
Spring may bo beautiful, but it is treacher
ous. Bonotlet it deceive you into a coId.a
fever, malaria or pneumonia.
Do not throw off your winter flannels too
early. It i3 better to suffer a little inconve
nience than to take cold.
If you feel tired, feverish or overheated, do
not rush off and take "spring medicines."
Cool yourself down and in this way help your
system and purify your blood.
If you feel hot and thirsty, do not drink large
quantities of water or other "long" drinks. It
is much better to take a little pure whiskey and
water, which will quench the thirst tone the
system and fortify against disease.
Remember that only pure whiskey should
ever be taken into tbe system, and that the
leading chemists and scientists of the present
aay unite in declaring tnat uutiy's .cure Malt
