The Jocal men did manage to take one
from the Buffalns this series. Bat it was not
their fault. They did nothing to merit tbe
game. It was the awinl work of tbe visitors
that caused victory to rest with the Pitts
burgs. Manager Hanlon'g team can now
doff their caps to tbe Buffalos, as yesterday
tbe j played a worse cane than tbe local men
ever dreamed -of. They cave the Pittsburg men
li unearned runs.
For a boat four innings tbe came was a very
pretty one. and the scora close enough to keep
them shouting. Tlien tbe jig went np in a
hurry. In tbe fifth inning four rnns were made
on three bits, two sacrifice" and an error. Then,
In tbe sixth, six rnns were scored, and not one
was earned. Three bits, three errors and a base
on ball combined tn belp tbe score increase.
The Bisons concluded that Cnnnincbam had
done enough, though it wasn't bi fault, and
Keefe wa-. substituted. He acted Jlte a man in
a dream, and pitched 12 bills witbout getting 1
over tbe plate. One strike was put on tbe next
man, and be also got a base on balls. In this
inning three runs were tcored without an
effort. .
Robinson had quite a record in the sixth in
ning facing the pitcher twice, and each time
getting a base on balls. There was a little vim
in tbe game np to the fifth undue, bn tatter
that it became a procession, and all interest
wan lost. Aiienaaut e, x,ui arore

A DAY'S TURF NEWS.
Sunot and Belle Hamlin Failed to Lower
Tbelr Rrcord nt BifTilo Yesterday
Sammnrr of the Circuit Trots.
Buffalo, August 8. Fifteen thousand
people went on to the dr ving park to-day at
tracted by the annonncement that Snnnl and
Belle Hamlin would attempt to lower the
records of 2:10 and 2:1 made by them
respectively. Tbe weather was Intensely hot
in the early part of tbe afternoon but toward
evening a cool ureeze tempered tbe rays of tbe
sun. The track was dry and seemingly in good
condition, but it lacked elasticity. It was
dragged this afternoon just before the special
event.
It was nearly 5 o'clock when the flyers were
rung up. Both the mares received a warm re
ception from tbe tbonsands tbat filled the
grand stand and lined tbe track. After some
preliminary warming up tbe jndges announced
tbat tbe horses would go to tbe limit of their
speed but would be sent to beat 2:15. Tbis was
for tbe purpose of giving Sunol a' record as a
4- ear-old, tbe best record npto to-day being
2-J6.
Belle Hamlin was'senl first. Andrews gave
her her bead and she flew to tbe quarter in
3 and to tbe half In IAS. Tbe running mate
joincu ner on tne nexi quarierf&ua saereacueu
tbe thne-quaners in 1:10. Coming into the
stretch tbe wind blew straight In her face and
she did not make tbe finish that was exacted.
She came steady, but at the distance pole she
was perceptibly tiring. Andrews did not pun
ish her, but let tier make ber own pace, and
she parsed nnder the wire in 2:11.
The California wonder, fcSunol, was then
called up. As she passed up tbe stretch for the
start she received a salvo of applause. Turn
ing just above the distance pole she got under
headway and passed nnder the wire lj full
motion. She reached the quarter in -83,
slow time for her, bu she made up for It In tbe
di-tance tn the half, which was reached in
15, nr 31li for the quarter. To tbe three
quarters. Where the track was poorest, she lost
again, reaching tbe third pole In 15. At tbe
head of the stretch the runner was Halting for
ber, bnt before she got turned around Sunol
had passed htm and was away ahead. The run
ner did not catch her until well down the
stretch, and when she beard bim cm ber wheel
the gallant little mire flew onward and passed
nnder the wire In 2J i ist seconds slower
than ber California lecord.

TILE OF RELEASING THE MANAGER
rSFXClAL TXLXOBAIC TO THE DISPATCn.1
Boston, August 8. Members of the New
York Players' League Club haye no hesita
tion in saying that Buck Swing, star
catcher and captain-manager of the cham
pion ball club of the world, fs to rejoin the
National League next year. Of late Buck's
many talks with National Leagne magnates
have given rise to much talk among people on
both sides of tbe baseball fence. Matters
reached a crisis among the players on the New
York team, while they were In Chicago during
the last Western trip. In that city Uwlng was
frequently seen in company with Spalding,
Anson and Day.
Directly after these interviews. It is said, and
said upon the best of authority, that Captain
Bwlng called upon three members of bis club
and proposed what be called a compromise be
tween the two Leagues. This compromise
was nothing more nor less than a
proposition to tbe men to desert tbe
i layers' League at the end-if this season and
join the National League. These men. whose
names, by tbe way, are Conner, Richardson
and Keefe, rejected Buck's proposition, and
their reinsal was so decided that it is said the
great catcher has not dared approach another
man on tbe team.
Tbe so called "treason" of Swing was
quickly noised about among tbe men. and even
before tbe club left Chicago It was debated as
to wneiuer n would not ue uest, ait tuings con
sidered, to give Ewing bis release. If this
were done it was agreed that Buck
would not be able to "play bo h
ends against the middle," so to speak, but
others aid that Ewing was playing great ball,
was a big drawing caril. a eanabli- manatrer and
a wonderful captain and that be was a great aid
in
iuis seasons worK. wnaiever ne mignt
prove to ba for next. Tbis latter
argument carried the il ... Ewing himself will
not talk upon tbe subj ct, except in a general
and non-committal way, and neither denies nor
affirms tbe charges made by his associates.

Something About the Qnnrrel Betiveen tbe
Lnd'ea of the Aator Family,

The game of cards now being played in
the Astor family is highly amusing to the
crowd of onlookers, though it may mean
death to tbe parties most concerned. As it
stands now, Mrs. William Ator insists on
being the trump card, and engraving herself
as "Mrs. Astor," while Mr. William Wal
dorf Astor, not content with taking a trick
by virtne ol her yooth and as the queen ot
heart, also claims the trump distinction.
Il tbe rumpus between these ladies is
really serious, it behooves their lords and
masters to remember the soil on which they
were born, and the republican laws tbat pro
tect them, aud to briug the game to a speedy
clore. Primogeniture doesn't work for a

Last night William McCIoskey and
James Scanlon, a pair of broad-shouldered
Irishmen who claim Philadelphia as their
home, and Ye You, a Grant street laundry
man, were prisoners in the Central station
charged with disorderly 'conduct. Early
last evening this trio arrived at the Balti
more and Ohio depot, having disembarked
from an accommodation train. Tbe China
man, it seems, had been out the road on
business, and while making the homeward
journey got into the same car with his lel-low-prisoners.
The Irishmen, thinking to
have some fun, started to call the Gmnaman
names, and annoyed him in every way pos
sible. Ye Yon paid no attention to their remarks,
and w'hen the Baltimore and Ohio depot was
re.tched, one of the men plav nlly pulled
his pigtail. This was the final straw. The
Chinaman had in his hand a handkerchief
filled with nickles and pennies, and, using
this as a weipon of defense, he banged one
of his tormentors a blow over the head wiih
the bundle. It happened that the hand
kerchief was too frail to stand the blow and
itbarsted, the Chinaman's money roliingall
over the platform.
OfBeer Yeager happened to be in the
vicinity and placed the trio under arrest
and locked them up in the Central station.

She Cannot Exp'atn Her Conduct.
About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
patrol wagon No. 4, of tbe Oakland district,
was called ont to Center avenue, where a
young girl was fonnd lying in the street,
and was supposed to be deadly sick. The
girl was placed in the patrol wagon and
brought to the Central station where Dr.
Mover was called. After an examination
he could find nothing wrong with ber.
Inspector McAleese had a talk with the
girl, and, while she was somewhat reluctant
to tell her story, the following facts were
gleaned from 'her: Her name is Bertba
Henbert, 21 years old, and her home is in
Outerville, Licking county, O. She Ielt
home about a week ago on acconnt
of a quarrel, and came to this
city. For the past two days she
has been lying about in the
fields and woods out in Oakland without a
bite to eat. Tbe girl, who seems to be in
telligent and is rather well diessed, was
particularly anxious that the Inspector
should not write to her parents or let them
know anything about her. She positively
denied leaving home on any other account
than a family quarrel.
Inspector 'McAleese thinks the girl is
slightlv demented and will ..communicate
with her family.
WHAT BECOMES 07 THEM,
Tbe Batch of Yonne Men "Learned In tbe
Professions Tamed Looar,
To the three profusions ot aw, physic and
divinity the city of jMew Tork contributes
not less than 1,000 neophytes annually, ac
cording to a writer in the New York Ledger.
What becomes ot a majority of the annual
batches of novices is a mystery. Like pins
nicely arranged on a creased paper, one sees
them for a moment side by side in shining'
rows, on examination day, and then two
thirds of them, pin-like, pass into impene
trable obscurity.
Many young men tbink ii a fine thing to
belong to one ot the learned professions. If
ambition and ability were habitutlly
coupled, this would be well enough; but,
unfortunately, the greatest ninnies are not
umreqnetitly cursed with the most extrava
gant aspirations. Superior minds will
make their way in any walk of life, no
matter how crowded it may be, but society,
having a plethora of the "learned profes
sions" to choose from, naturally gives the
preference to skill nnd eloquence, leaving
stolidity aud commonplace to bungle
through life ou a banyan diet and in thread
bare clothes.
Meanwhile, skilled labor in agriculture,
mechanics, manufacturers and commerce is
in constant demand at remunerative wages;
and the (act that many of the young men
who are annually turned loose upon society
in this country, armed with diplomas, do not
hesitate to grapple with some brauch of the
real, downright work whereby this continent
it being developed and nations made rich, is
most fortunate for them, their families and
the commnnities in which tbey ate either to
succeed or fail.
DEATH OF A HEEMIT.
Forsaking; Bis Falbrr'a Homo He Lives
Alone In the Woods
From the Lewlston. Be., Journal.
It was a queer li e which ended last week
at South Addison that of Walter L. Tab
but, the hermit who was found dead in bis
hut. Not having been seen for several
days, bis father went in search of bim and
found him dead, lying in the rude box that
had sewed him for a bed for five years, hav
ing been dead several days. When a boy,
the Machitts Republican says, Walter joined
the Adventists and gave himself up to Bible
reading and prayer so zealously that he did
not hebitate to pray at uil times and on all
occasions, and during school hours he would
break out in boisterous prayer. A lew
years later he took to reading the Koran,
and when a little more than 20 years old,
came nut a full-fledged Mohammedan.
Forsaking his lather's house he repaired
to a neighboring wood, where be built a
small stone house that for five years served
as his dwelling. In the center of his abode,
resting upon lour st.ikes, is the wooden box
in which he has sltpt. This, together with
an open fire and a few cooking uteusil,made
up his household effects. He was exact in
the performance of his religious rites, and
had certain rules which no caller was al
lowed to violate. No person who would
admit that he had been handling the flesh
of swine could enter his habitation utjtil he
had first washed bis hands. He generally
ate but two meals a day, and they usually
consisted of buttermilk and unleavened
bread. His Sabbath day began at sundown
Friday anil sundown Saturday marked its
closing, and during the time he fasted.

Wheeling, August 8. Another rail
road project is in progress here, but its ex
act nature cannot be told, as no disclosures
will be made by interested parties, but some
facts denote the magnitude of the scheme.
Bight of way through a small portion of the
city has been contracted for and substantial
payment made. The entire right of way
will cost about $300,000. A strip of property
across Wheeling Island has been bought, a
bridge projected across the west arm of the
river, and on tbe east side a bridge intended
for a thoroughfare bridge is laeing strength
ened for railroad trains.
Tbe line of survey cuts thtougnthe city to
tbe bill, where a 1,200-foot tunnel bas been sur

surveys have been mails for a distance of five
utile, and tbe engineers are evidently making

it left Erie every sleeper was filled to Its
capacity, and bnt for tbe bravery and humanity
of two tramps, all would have been burled to
death, down a steep declivity into Walnut

The two nomads referred to, while talking
west on tbe lookout for a freight, saw two
well-dressed men ahead acting suspiciously.
Keeping in tbe dark they raw the men take
a package from tbe wrapper, and with
tbe assistance of a dark lantern place it
under tbe rail. Realizing tbat some devilish

their pockets into tbe bands of the trampi and
