The Doubles Were Closely Contested and Interesting. ' FBOGEAMME OP EVENTS FOE TO-DAT Yesterday was an exciting time at tha grounds of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, on Craig street. There were quite a number of things to cause excitement, and not tbe least among them was the small burst of rain, which greatly dampened the enthu siasm of quite a number of the devotees of tennis. At 4 o'clock dark clouds gathered and sent a copious shower over tbe little park, driving the crowd hurry scurry to tbe club house among the trees, 150 yards dis tant. Talking of sprinting, tbat race eclipses everything in the go-as-yon-please line that has been seen in this vicinity for some time. Most excellent time was made, but as everybody was in the race, there were no time keepers or referee to be found. Notwithstanding this little side show attach ment to the tournament yesterday. It proved to b even more lnterestinc than the day before. The losers are gradually thinning out so that it was a case of Greek meet Greek and the matches yesterday were hotly contested be tween the best men entered. MATCH OF THE DAY. The second round was finished by tbe play between Messrs. Reed and Fay which had been postponed overfrom Wednesday. Reed's coolness acain showed itself, and arter a nara struggle Fay was compelled to acknowledge himself beaten. The match of tbe day came in the third round. Morehead and Coster aro two equally matched men. and it was very difficult to judge between them. Morehead proved him; self tbe better general, and after some of the most magnificent tennis of the day, be came out a winner. In tbe first set he easily de feated Coster, the score being 6-0. However. Coster warmed up to the fight in the second set and tbe result was tbe hardest of the match. Morehead could not stop the hard serving and fine returns of his plucky op ponent, and tbe score came off 8-6 in favor of Coster. Morcbead's staying qualities won tbe final set 6-4, THE DOUBLES. In the doubles Messrs. Fay and Buch, of Al toona, covered themselves with glory, and won the applause of the assembly by defeating what was formerly called the best team at doubles in this part of the State. In tbe first round Cristy and Brook', of Sewlckley, de feated G. D. and O. M. Edwards without great difflculy. Crlsty's work showed him to be truly a good player, and there is no doubt but that he has greatly Improved over his lat year's form. Fay and Buch also ,def eated Miller and Osborne In tbe first round. Tbe real fight came In the second round, when Fay and Buch met Crlsty and Brooks. These men play tennis truly wonderful, and it was a long-drawn-out battle. The Altoona men won tbe first set 7-5. The seoond set went against them 8-6.

Alleged Crooked Work at tbe Washington Park Kunulnc Meeting. Chicago, Jnly 17. Much dissatisfaction has been expressed by horsemen from the South and elsewhere with the way in which things have been going at the races at Washington Park during the present meeting.

His horses bave been "running in and out" in a roost remarkable way. and the papers of the city, beginning with expressions of mild astonishment, have come to outright denuncia tion. The running of Santalene, of that stable, tbe other day when bo was beat by Atticus' came in for such severe criticism that tbe man agement have taken the matter np and are making an investigation.

KEMMLER STILL THE ETBST Who Will be Legally Killed by the Subtle Electric Current. (SPECIAL TELEOBAlt TO THI DISPATOH.1 Auburn, July 17. At this moment Kemmler, tbe slayer of Ltllie Zeiger, lies sleeping in his steel-bound cell awaiting his doom, which must be met some time the week beginning August 4. The Dispatch reporter was in tbe prison to-night and interviewed Deputy Warden Boyle, who Is in charge, War den Durston and Mrs. Durston being absent from the city. Tbe news thatCbap leau's sentence had been commuted to life im- ErUonment was a surprise to tbe prison officials ere. It was expected.that Cbapleau would be the flrst victim of tbe newlaw; thereforno prep arations bave been.made, strictly speaking, to execute the sentence against Kemmler. The A burn prison officials expected to bo aided by the experience at Dannemora, bnt it now re mains for Warden Durston to kill tbe flrst prisoner by electricity. Tha dreadful electrical machinery, including the chair, is not now in the death chamber. Deputy Warden Boyle says that ail tho ma cbiuory has been taken down and carefully packed away in boxes. This course was pur sued to evade curious visitors who were con tinually pestering tbe warden to see tbe ap paratus. Kemmler takes his bath daily in the chamber, and this is another reason why tbe niachinery was removed. When Warden Dur ston returns the final preparations will be be gun. Kemmler is in good health and spirits, and appears, as he has heretofore, unconcerned about his impending doom. . i FRANCE TO JJTTERFEBE. Tbo Chamber of Commerce Enlers a Pro lest Attains!

During the intermission between the speeches, President James Hunter read let ters of regret from some of the invited guests who couldn't or wouldn't come. It was'only tbe missing letters that excited much com ment, and some ot the semi-centennial com mittee think they have been snubbed. Among the letters received were the follow ing: "Executive Mansion, 1 "Washington, D. C. June 28, 1890. J "Mr. 8. D.

Among them were Governor Beaver, Senator Quay. Adjutant General Hastings, Hon. Thomas M. Bayne and Hon. John Dalzell. Another sore spot was tbe fact that Mayor Gourley was the only Pittsburg official present, and Controller Morrow was tbe only one who sent a letter of recret. In closine his letter. Mr. Morrow said: "Peace be within Allegheny's walls; and prosperity within her palaces." MUSIC IN THE PARKS. AN ENJOYABLE CONCERT ONE OF THE MANY FEATURES. The Excellent Bonds and a Chorus of Sov ernl Hundred Voices Thonsncds of Peo ple Heartily Appland a Prograramo of Popular Airs. Fully 15,000 people packed in tho space surrounding the music pavilion last even ing to hear the concert. The stand was brilliautly illuminated with inumerable lights, and the extension to the pavillion proper boasted about S00 lamps, Japanese lanterns also adorned the pavilion, and the posts were wrapped in wreaths of red, white and blue, giving it a very gay appearance. At 7:30 o'clock Director Weia gavo tbe signal to begin playing. An elegant programme bad been arranged, including popular airs which were received with rounds of applause, Tbe first number on the programme was a piece especially composed by Prof. Wen for tbe oc casion, "Semi-Centennial Festival March." After this came 'William Tell." which had to be reproduced before tbe people would desist from applauding. "Spring, Approach," was the next number, which came In for the ap proval of the listeners. Tbe singing societies bad by this time ar rived, and tbe band suspended long enough to permit them to sing two songs. About 600 trained voices of male singers, composed of the various German sineinc societies, com prised the chorus. Tbey were under tbe able leadership of Benjamin Kellus. of tbe Robert Blum Maennerchor. Tbe best singers from the Calcelila, Teutonia, Druiden, Troy Hill and Scbwaeblsrher Maennerchors and tbe Odd Fellows' Saengerbund and Harugari Lieder tafel sang 'The Soldier's Night Song" and "How I Loved Her."

The programme was through by 9 o'clock and the fireworks immediately started. The Grand Armv Band held forth at tbe old stand, near the Humboldt monument,and helped to enliven matters. One of the most attractive features about the night display was tbe arch of the Westingbouse Electric Light Company in the park near Ohio street. It was decorated with flags and bunt ing, bearing tho words Allegheny, 1840 18U0," tbe words and figures being formed of incan descent lamps, giving it a brilliant appearance. From tbe parks a good view of tbe fireworks put off from Monument Hill could be had, and thousands of people availed themselves of It. BEWILDERING BEAUTY. THE CITY'S" BRILLIANT ILLUMINATION IN THE EVENING. Red Fire Burned for an Hoar From tho Tops of the New Electric Light Towers Plenty of Fireworks ana Natural Gna Displays'. Such a scene of bewildering beauty as Allegheny City presented last evening has probably never before been witnessed. The entire city was bathed in a flood of ruby lieht emanating from the top of the 62 elec trical towers, each 150 feet high, which will hereafter drop their rosy tint, but still burn with sufficient brilliancy to make Allegheny one of the best lighted cities in tho Union. Tbe signal lights were supplemented with myriads of smaller lights tbat twinkled lntbeir own little spheres and assisted in the magnifi cent whole, as the stars assist the greater planets in the firmament, and brought out in untold SDlendor the decorations of tho streets tbat made them perfect panoramas of beauty to the throngs that filled them, passing and re passing under the triumphal arches, from wbich shot forth thonsands of fiery flames and any number of gay streamers and waving flags. Tbe streets apparently vied with each other 111 point of decoration, and, regardless of loca tion, arrayed themselves in raiment befitting the joyous event tho city was celebrating. Buildings of all description sent the national colors streaming iu tho breeze, and were girded, and draped, diagonally and perpendicularly, with gay buntings and flags of all sizes, while Japanese lanterns suspended from every con ceivable and Inconceivable point, spanninc streets and arching large entrances, gave tbo finishing touch to fairyland. And the crowds upon crowds that filled the parks and overflowed into tbe streets and by ways all looked like people of another world thantbls of prosaic tendencies. In iheir festive garb and general appearance of gayety. A small portion o tbe vast throng that In ordinary celebrations wonld represent the main body, after viewing the handsome arch in tho park which, with incandescent lights, informed all that Allegheny became a city in 1810 ana naa reacneu tne age of CO years, gazing with blinking eyes at . tho 8nr tiny sparklers - thatjhe family are r espectfully in-rlted to attend, 'made the speakers' stand a throne of glory, broke loose from the crowded streets and overflowing park, and were transported to Observatory Hill by tbe electric cars and various styled equiDages, where far above the vast mass of celebrators, abirdseye view of Allegheny on its 50th birth day was taken, and indelibly photographed on each mind was the enchanting vision tbat ever and anon called f ortb a lusty cheer from some loyal citizen, that was taken up and sent chas ing its own echoes at an alarming rate by any number of interested spectators. Tbe Monument Hill display of fireworks, as seen from that point, was far more enjoyable than from any other section of the city, and as tbe sky was rocketed with rockets of all kinds, and tne Roman candles went fizzing through the air. tbe enthusiasm of Observatory Hill reached a high pitch, and resulted In a succes sion of "'ohsfin all sorts of voices, all known keys, and every Imaginable inflection. And when the unexpected fireworks in tbe shape of the big planing mill fire eclipsed the lesser and more fanciful ones, a united chorus of "ohs eclipsed the former ones in like manner. 0VEBC0ME BY HEAT. CItr Hall Presented tbe Appearance of a Hospital Detective McClare'a Work. The day was intensely hot, and scores of peo ple were overcome by tbe heat. Some were taken to their homes: others to private houses, and City Hall presented the appearance of a hospital. Chief Murphy's office and the base ment of City Hall were both filled all the time with people who had fainted. City Physician Hazzard was called on fre quently, and ex-Detective McClnre worked all morning at Chief Murphy's office, endeavoring to restore people to consciousness Tbe police were among the sufferers. Officers McCurry, Milligan, Snyder, BIttner and Coch ran were all overcome and had to fall out of the parade. Among tbe others were MIs Annie Homan, of East street, who had to be taken home in a carriage, and Miss Cully, of Emerson street, East End, who was attended by Dr. Hazzard. ADAMS EXPBESS COMPANY. It Shows lis Remnrknbln Growth In tho Pnst Firiy Years. In the rich displays in the Industrial division was tbat of the Adams Kinross Company. On one float was a wheelbarrow and a boy, show ing the company's transportation facilities In 1810. Then the company had two men and ahoy. To-day they employ 8,600 men and boys. The wheelbarrow has given place to 1,986 wagons and 2,800 horses. The company operates on 21,590 miles of railroads. The Committee Congratulated'. Captain J. D. Walker felt good, last night, by reason of the many compliments he received for his efforts in making the day a notable one. Others of the committee were also congratu lated, and altogether tbe entire city of Alle gheny felt, last night, that they could lie down to pleasant dreams after all the worry and anxiety they have had for these many days. Not on tbe Programme. A display not down on the programme oc curred at the corner of Ohio and Federal streets. The dropping fire from the tower fell on tbe streamers of bunting suspended from tbe buildings down on tbe street and burned tbe decorations somewhat. It was pnt out. however, before much damage could ne done, An Old-Timo Fine That Waved. A. H. Rowand, Sr,, father of Arch H. Row ,and, the attorney, bas In his possession a flag 60 years old. It was used in a celebration when tbe city was incorporated, and Mr. Rowana used it yesterday again as part of the decora tions on his house, at 203 Robinson street. Colonel Stone'a Celebration. Colonel W. A. Stone celebrated tbe semi annual centennial, yesterday, by calling on Librarian Stevenson and declaring his Inten sion to donate 100 volumes to tbe Carnezie Library, Among them will be the official records of the rebellion. Mayor Wyman'a Little Lover. Mayor Wyman's heart was touched by a pleasant little incident. While on the ronte a little girl, hardly more than an infant, stepped up to his carriago and banded him a fragrant bouquet, saying : "This is for the handsomest man in the parade." Tho Flntform Warn Tabooed. For some reason many of tho Allegheny officials would not go on the platform at tbe mass meeting. Among them was City Treas urer David McFerron. He stood out in the boiling sun through all the speeches. PABNELIS INFLUENCE FELT. The Irish Leader Helping; the Government Ont of Difficulty. 1BT CABLE TO THIS DlBPATCn.I London. July 17. In the Carlton Clnb and in other Conservative circles the report is fully credited that tbe Government Intends to mod ify Mr. Balfour's Irish land purchase bill in accordance with Mr. Parnell's suggestions and will embody these in a new draft of the meas ure, which will be presented at tbe meeting of Parliament in November. The Ministers also intend to produce at the fall session, along with the land bill, a local government bill for lrelana, which tliey hope will meet with tbe approval of Mr. Parnell and his colleague. Mr. Parnell's action has certainly lightened matters tremendously for the Government, and Mr. Chamberlain's letter declaring tbat the Dissidents are a very happy family indeed, and in Derfect accord with the Conservatives. is another little boost to tbe almost collapsed ministry of Lord Salisbury. A DUKE'S EIGHT QUESTIONED. English Radicals Term a Prince's Appoint ment a Scandalona Job. ror cablb to the dispatch.: London. July 17. The Radicals aro going to raise a question in the House of Commons with regard to the right ot the Duke of Edin burg to enlarge tbe Admiralty house at Devon port without obtaining the prior sanction of Parliament. The occasion will be seized by them as a chance to discuss what they term the scandalous job of tbis Prince's appointment to the command of the Devonport harbor and 'dockyard, grabbing the post, as the Radicals put it, because of its emoluments, and being put In It over the heads of eight Admirals, any one of whom had a better claim than the Queen's second son to this important and de sirable appointment.
