Philadelphia, July 15. The Quakers
snd the Alleghenies had another little bout
at the Philadelphia ball park this after
soon, and again Captain Clements was able
to call for the ball and pocket it when the
game ended. The game was a far better
played one than that of yesterday, and the
Pittsburgers did very well, but could not bat
quite hard enough. Added to this, the
Pittsburgers were robbed of a run, owing
to a bad decision by Umpire McDermott.
Sales was on third when Hecker went ont
on a fly to Burke. As soon as Burke caught
the ball Bales sprinted for home and cot there
easily, but McDermott said 'Out," declaring
that Sales bad seTered connection witb the
base ere Bnrke bad caught the fly. The field
ing of both teams was clever. Osborne, Sales,
Miller, LaRoque, Schriver and Boat did nicely.

Pittsburg's Players' Lena-no Team Again
Loses to the Brooklyn Men Tcner a
Failure at Third Corcoran Leads Ibo
Tenia's Work.
rFI-ECIAI. TSXKORAM tt TBI DISPATCff.t
Brooklyn. July 15. Weak batting and the
poorest of fielding accounts for the defeat the
Pittsburg (P. It.) team suffered at the bands of
Ward's wonders at Eastern Park to-day. Van
Ualtren made his appearance in the pitcher's
box after an absence of about two weeks, and
judging from the way he held down the visitois
tbe rest must have served htm. Five hits Is all
tbe Pittsburgs managed to get, and of this
number two were made In tbe last inning.
Tener tried to play third case in the absence of
Kuehne, bnt he made a sorrowful failure,
fumbling easy grounders. Carroll's work, al
though rather superabundant, was fair. Robin
son played a very loose game. Staley pitched a
fairlv zood game and if he had bad any kind
of ordinary support tbe score would bave been
closer. The Brooklyns outnlayed their op
ponents in every point. Corcoran played a
superb game for his side and showed himself
to be a wonderlnl shortstop. Attendance abont

any rate, tbe alleged talk between Messrs. Day
and Ewing, at Cincinnati, was only a "blind"
to throw the League off tbe track, and
it la now known that Ewing
was closeted with Stern while the
former was in Cincinnati. Stern has been very
sore since the Pittsburg club transferred Its
games to Brooklyn without his consent, and it
is also known that his receipts have fallen far
below what be anticipated.
There is another rumor that tho Brotherhood
intended to transfer Its Brooklyn club to Cin
cinnati and exchange Wood for Ewing.

PETE PEIDDY'S EEPLY.
Running In the Bait nnd Not Anxious to Re
tarn nt Present.
The followingwas received yesterday from
Sammy Day, who Is training Peto Priddy In bis
Eastern races. It was dated Paterson, N. J.:
"I see by a clipping from your Friday's paper
that McClelland was disappointed at not meet
ing Peter Priddy last Thursday night. Now,
he might bave saved himself the trouble, as he
knew that Peter and myself were in or around
New York running at the games, and it doesn't
look well for McClelland to make, such bluffs.
Only two weeks before we left Pittsburg
Priddy left $50 to accept McClelland's challenge,
and after being there a week It was taken up
again.
"McClelland wants to make a sweepstake of
S200, the second to take the gate. Now, such a
race with Cannon and Priddy in would draw
over $100 gate, so that the second money would
be as good as tbe winner. Now, If McClelland
wants to start a s ecpstako race let him make
It for $250 each, the winner to take all stakes
and 60 per cent nf the gate, 40 per cent of the
gate to go to second man.
"I bear that there Is such a race on between
Cannon and Grant, of Boston. Pete will also
enter. This would be a good opportunity for
McClelland. In this race the winner takes all."

WA1IFUM, July 15. Alex and John Mc
Conahy, two well-known young men of this
place, were yesterday fishing In tho Beaver
river, between here and Newport, when they
discovered something bobbing up and down in
the water. It proved to be a bottle, and with
some exertions they succeeded in getting it
ashore. It was corked tightly. There was a,
piece of paper In tbe inside of the bottle, and
after taking out the cork the boys found a
piece ot writing paper about 2 inches square.
The paper contained the following, written
with a lead pencil, and evidently in a hurried
manner;
Edenbuko, Fa., March 25.
Whoever finds this bottle will learn tbe fate of
Mr. J. Woods. Anybody finding this will please
give It to Mr. Woods, of Mies, as 1 am golug to

Franklin, July 15. A. Graham, a teamster,
was arrested in this city to-day on a warrant
from Forest county, charging him with obtain
ing money under false pretense, on oath of

county, and boarded with him. He fell in love
with Grimicke's wife and tho latter recipro
cated his passion. The husband fell ill, and
Graham persuaded him to go to a hospital.
During bis absence Graham coaxed the woman
to pack up the household goods and elope with
him. They came to this city, where they have
been living for some time.
On Graham's return from the hospital, be
took steps to have the couple arrested, and will

Tbe case is attracting great attention, as the
woman is very handsome, and says she will not
return to her husband, as she prefers one Gra
ham to a dozen Grimickes.

SURPRISE FOR THE VAUDEKBILTS.
The Pennsylvania Company Now Controls
the Union Stock lards.
ENGLIBE IKTBSTOKS ARE FROZEN ODT
rSTXCIAL TXLIOBAM TO TUB DISrATCIt.'.
Chicago, July 15. It was announced
to-day that a new corporation styled the
Chicago Junction Railway and Union Stock
yards Company, had been chartered at
Trenton, N. J., yesterday, for the purpose
of acquiring, holding, selling or otherwise
disposing of the stock of tbe Union Stock
yards and Transit Company of Chicago.
Business men wondered what it meant; for
tbe names of the first board of direct
ors comprised no known representative of
the English capitalists who have been seek
ing to obtain control of the property, and a
sensation of the biggest kind was created
when it became known that the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company1 had outwitted
both the English and the Yanderbilts and
had secured a controlling interest iu one of
the most magnificent enterprises on the con
tinent. A PrTTSBUBO MAK IN IT.
The leading figure in this masterpiece of
commercial diplomacy is J. N. McCnllongh,
of Pittsburg, First Vice President of the
Pennsylvania Company, who, backed by
"VV. J. Sewell, President Roberts, and John
Hoey, of the Adams Express Company,
and others, got control of tbe purchasing
syndicate and postponed the opening of the
stock subscriptions by telegrams last night.
The Chicago end of the great enterprise was
to have been launched today at the Stock
Exchange, but the instructions sent out by
Vice President McCullough, of the Penn
sylvania, prevented .that, and F'. H. Wing
ton, a local attorney, who has had charge of
the legal part of the negotiations, started
last night and is now in consultation with
the Pennsylvania officials.
After securing .full instructions he' will
leave to-morrow for London, England, to
complete the deal. When negotiations be
gan for the sale of the Union Stockyards an
effort was made on the part of the promoters
of the sale to protect railroad interests- To
this end the syndicate of English and
American capitalists sought to bold these in
terests intact, and it succeeded, even beyond
its intention.
STILL I2T THE SWIM.
First Vice President McCnllough, of the
Pennsylvania, has for a long time been one
of the largest holders iu the old company,
and to-day he turns out to be by all oods
the largest on behalf of himself and others,
of the new concern. From the beginning,
the idea of an English company has been a
blind. It is true that about one-third of
the stock of the new company is, or will be,
held by English capitalists, but two-thirds
of it, or even more, is and will continue to
be held by Americans, and a majority of it
by the officials of the Pennsylvania Com
pany or others holding close relations to
that concern, such as the officials of the
Adams Express Company
It is not easy to discover who is the indi
vidual promoter of the great syndicate, but
it bas now been ascertained beyond donbt
that the brains of the whole business from
the start is contained in the head of First
Vice President McCnllough, a Pittsburg
man of repnted fabulous wealth, and an as
pirant for railroad honors.
A BIVAL OP DKPEW.
He has for a long time envied Mr. Depew
iu his world-wide popularity, and has been
watching and waiting tor an opportunity to
snatch it from his grasp. At last the op
portunity came. The new stockyard syndi
cate had been formed and Mr. Depew bad
left to look after the Vanderbilt interests at
the English end of the great transaction.
Meanwhile Mr. McCullough got his forces
together, and when the articles of incorpora
tion of the new company were filed nt
Trenton, N. J., yesterday, the first, or pro
visional directors, wero found to be lor the
Pennsylvania Company or for Mr. McCul
lough. ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY.
The new company is launched with a
certified capital stock of (13,000,000, and
with authority to double its capital stock.
Tbe sum of $25,000 was certified to as paid
in on account of the capital stock, and upon
this evidence of good iaith the certificate of
tbe Secretary ol State for the state of -New
Jersey was issued, authorizing tbe company
to do all manner ot commercial business, to
acquire and hold real estate, and to acquire
and operate railways, and to do almost any
thing in which millions can be made by a
company ol millionaires.
The first President will not be Chauucey
M.' Depew, but J. N. McCullough, of Pitts
burg, aud if not iu name, certainly iu fact,
for he is the directing genius of the combin
ation. The first board of directors, as or
dered by the Vanderbilts, was to have been
Cbauncev Depew, John Quincv Adams,
Edward J. Phelps, J. W. Sewell, Freder
ick H. Arnston,'of Chicago, and the gentle
men representing the English interest. This
slate bas been overthrown aud with Mr.
McCullough at the head the directorate
will contain but two of tbe .Eastern names
at first set down. These are Sewell and
John Hoey.
Increased Its Capltnl Stock.
The Citizens' Traction Railway Company
held a meeting, last eveuinz, aud decided to
increase the capital stock of tho company Irom
$2,500,000 to J3,O.00a Mr. John G. Holmes
said the money was needed for various pur

AN ATTRACTIVE SCHEME.
SELLING AUSTRIAN LOTTERY TICKETS
DISGUISED AS BONDS.
A European Government Agent Sinking
Money Out of Gullible Westerners
legality of His Methods Questioned and
His Tickets Seized HI Modus Operandi.
JgrECIAL TKLEOKAM TO TUX DISFATCIt.l
Chicago, July 15. An interesting ques
tion of international comity has been
brought to tbe front by the seizure the other
day by Inspector Stewart, of the Chicago
Postoffice, of certan Austrian Government
bonds, which a European lottery concern
has sent through the mails to
one of its patrons in Chicago. The
lottery managers in this instance seem to
be operating as representatives of the Gov
ernment of Austria." On its face their
sceme is not a lottery at all, but a simple
sale to American investors of the bonds of a
foreign power.
The Austrian Government issues a large
number of bonds, payable at tbe
end of a long period, say BO years.
It pays interest on the bonds
in the form of interest coupons, which in
reality are lottery tickets, since each one
represents an uncnown amount of money.
When the interest coupon draws a prize the
bond on which the prize is drawn is called
in, and thereafter it ceases to bear interest.
and the principal is not payable until the
expiration of the period of 50 years. The
scheme is a peculiarly attractive one
inasmuch as the purchase of a bond is
assured in advance that its par vaiue is
payable in any event, but it is so arranged
that the projectors of the -acheine are heavv
and constant winners.
In this country the Austrian Govern
ments enterprise is just getting fairly into
business. It has had an office in New York
for some time, and now branches
have been established in Chicago, San
Francisco, Mexico and at various other
points. The Chicago olhce operates over a
large extent ot territory, and is said to do a
good business in Plttsbnrg and vicinity.
When Inspector Stewart seized the bonds
in question he consulted with District At
torney Ewing, who told him that he was
rieht. and that the parties sending such
matter through the mails were plain vio
lators of the law. .Not satisfied with
this, the Inspector laid the whole
matter before the Postoffice Depart
ment at Washington, calling attention
to the fact that the backer and apparently
the projector of the scheme was the Austrian
Government, and asking for instruc
tions. The orders from that quarter wereto
go ahead, precisely as in the case of a priv
ate individual. Inspector Stewart is now
iu the East and nothing will be done until
his return to Chicago. In the meantime the
Austrian Government's representa
tive is doing a big business from
Chicago as headquarters. He is selling his
$100 bonds on the installment plan to a
class of peode who have to borrow money
to pay the first installment. He cites a case,
decided in the United States court in the
Southern district ol New York, to show that
his enterprise cannot be interfered with by
law. but the United States District Attor
ney insists that he is mistaken. The Chief
of Police says that be will take no action to
prevent the Chicago office from doing busi
ness until the United States District Attor
ney has got through with the case, though
Assistant City Attorney Cameron has ruled
that the face ot the Austrian bonds is clearly
in violation of tbe Chicago city ordinance.

His Bnsplpo nnd Monkey Taken Cars of

Sullivani Balson. an Italian street musician,
was arrested by Officer Schmitt yesterday
afternoon for violating a city ordinance.
Balson was engaged in playing a bagpipe, an
Instrument not generally performed upon by
natives of Italy. He was accompanied by a
small boy and a monkey that climbed up the
houses to receive pennies. He was playing to
a large number of little boys and girls when
Officer Schmitt happened along and gathered
the trio in.
Balson strongly resisted arrest, and it re
quired the most persuasive arguments of the
policeman before he concluded to allow him
self to be collared. He was not aware that It
was unlawful to go about enchanting peoplo
with the delightful music of the bagpipe.
