Everybody likes to see "Old At.se" play
ball, and 1,193 people were at Recreation
Park yesterday to greet this man, who is
supposed to be an honest, conscientious ball
player." Bnt before the game was over the
1,193 people in the park and several hun
dred more' on sheds overlooking the fence
had yelled themselves hoarse over the work
of the old man's umpire. And Anson
didn't say a word, as he was evidently well
satisfied to have it go his way. McQoade
was unable to officiate, and Anson put Stein
in to do the work.
The game was a very pretty one for four
innings, the game at the opening of the fifth
being tied. In the last half of the fi'th five
hits were made off G umber t and three runs
were earned. Then Nagle and Anson were
caught off tbe bases and should bave been
out, but a wild throw by Miller scored both
men and really. lost the game.
After this inning Gumbert settled down
again and allowed but one hit. Pittsburg
took two rnns in the sixth inning on
Hecker's donble, Osborne's triple and
La Boone's sacrifice. In tbe last inning
Berger waa hit by a pitched ball, and, alter
La Boqce flew out, scored on Sales' three
baser. Here the crowd began kicking on
the rank decisions of Stein, and even Billy
-Sunday lent voice in the objections. The
worst confusion prevailed for 15 minutes,
when the game proceeded. Gumbert was
called out on strikes and Wilson flew out.

Clevelawd, August 9. It was not
Pittsburg's day to win, that is certain,
al though Bakely was not using much steam.
The crowd from Gas Town could not
hit the ball safely. None of them struck
out, bnt they popped fly after fly into
tbe air that the Cleveland fielders
gobbled up. Cleveland took Staley's meas
ure early in the contest and in the first
Inning, by good hard hitting, knocked out two
earned rnns. Corcoran played like a man Just
out of a ginger factory. Some of his stops
were marvelous and he threw the ball beauti
fully. McAleer gave an exhibition of fielding
that was of the highest order.
Cleveland"began the scoring In the first.
Strieker went out, but Delehanty hit for a
base and Brown followed it with a double.
Carney's sacrifice scored Delehanty and Brown
ing came home home on Tebean's hit. In the
third Pittsburg got a Tun on Visner's single,
Bectley's single, and McAleer's fumble.
A base on balls and a wild throw by Staley
put ilcAleer and Radford on the bases in the
fourth, and Sutcliffe's-sacriflce and Bakely's
sincle sent them home. Browning bit for a
base in the fifth and went to third on a passed
ball. Staley and Quinn left the borne plate nn
covered and he stole home. Carney hit safely,
went to second on Tebean's sacrifice, to third
on a passed ball and scored on Radford's long
fly to left field. Attendance, 974 -Score:

Death Ends the Bonuses of Poor Tom
Colllgan'. Lire.
New York, August 9. Thomas Culligan
fell from the roof of a building on Third
avenue, and an hour after he was dead.
Culligan, although only 21 years old, knew
a great deal of the world's sorrow. He was
good and steady and a hard worker, but he
never prospered. Whatever be touched
withered before him. A terrible fate seemed
to bave marked him and to pursue him, and
on his face misfortune was indelibly
stamped. Tuesday last he began work in
Benson & Matthews' restaurant as a waiter,
after having failed iu many business enter
prises. Two months ago he purchased a
restaurant on Second avenue, then doing a
thriving business. He took possession, and
immediately custom began to fall away.
"Week after week passed, but he never could
manage to make tbe place pay expenses,
so a week ago he closed the place and left it
forever. Melan choly though he was, how
ever, be was not incapable of loving and
being loved, and for some years he bad been
Hiss Mclntee's affianced.
At length they resolved to terminate their
long engagement, and Wednesday morning
he told his employers he wanted a day's
leave ot absence to get married, as his
sweetheart was about to go to the country
and he wished to marry her before she went
so that he could "leel sure ot her lor a few
days at least." His request was granted,
and that evening Maggie and he became
man and wife. Wednesday night here
turned to the restaurant with bis newly
found happiness on his face struggling lor
the mastery with the melancholy that had
so long reigned there. Thursday his wife
went to the country, but when she kissed
him goodby she promised to return very
soon, and in the restaurant in the evening
he appeared to be perfectly happy.
After midnight he went to the roof of the
kitchen to procure bis jacket from the laun
dry room, the window of which opened, on
the roof. An how passed, but Culligan bad
not returned to tbe restaurant Then his
fellow waiters, becoming alarmed, went to
look for him. They lound his bleeding and
mangled body in the yard. He had fallen
from the roof, a distance of 20 leet, dislocat
ing his neck and fracturing his skull. An
ambulance was called, but in his dying mo
ments the old cruel fate continued to pur
sue him. For 65 minutes he lay where he
fell, with his head, from which the blood
flowed in streams, resting on the knee of a
fellow waiter, before the ambulance arrived.
There was nothing- for tbe Bellevpe surgeon
to do but to wait till poor Tom Culligan was
no more. Once only, the moment beiore he
died, did he show the slightest sign of con
sciousness. Then thuse with their heads
bent close to his heard him utter "Maggie,"
aud ho tu dead.

Kentucky Races.
LATE ADDITIONS TO THE HONOfi EOLL
rraoK a btait cobbzsfonsznt.i
Lexington, Kt., August 9. The re
cent rains have made the Lexington track
as fast as a bullet, and the horses quartered
there are going like the wind. The con
tinued warm weather has almost obliterated
the disease with which tbe horses suffered
so much last spring and in the early sum
mer. While some of the fast ones have
gone wrong, there are still enough to make
big entries for the coming meetings, even if
horses from other places do not come here.
But, with the influx of some of the best
campaigners in tbe country, the meetings
this month and in October will see some of
tbe best time ever made in races over tbe Lex
ington course. The last work reported to bave
been done by Angelina, tbe sensational Wilkes
Boy filly, is very fast She is said to have gone
a mile in 222 over the Lexington track. If
this is correct she will certainly be heard from
before the season is over.
Few men who are engaged in the horse busi
ness can view with more pleasure the triumph
of the descendants of George Wilkes' Bons
than tbe white-haired man wbo signs bis name
."Georgo Wilkes" Simmons. Years ago when
few men believed the game little son of
Rysdyk's Hambletonlan and Dolly Spanker
would make the greatest sire of the age. Mr.
Simmons showed his abiding faith in his power
to transmit his wonderfnl racing qualities by
bringing him to Kentucky. The babies born
that year are now only 17 years of age, yet what
a mighty transformation does Mr. Simmons
see. On every track In tbe land bones within
whose veins the blood of George Wilkes flows,
are adding renewed glory to the crown of the
equine king. It is useless to underrate them.
Everybody that knows anything about trotting
horses knows their namos and is familiar with
their startling performances, and it requires no
prophet to predict that before the snow flies
George Wilkes' name will be linked with more
sensational performers than ever dreamed of
before.
A horseman who happens to own one of the
world's fastest pacers, and who lives in an ad
joining State, has received the following bold
proposition:
"Mr. : Sir We have never met but
from yonr reputation I suppose you to be a gen
tleman in all that the word implies, and I would
like to meet you on these terms, viz: I wonld
like to get your horse, if he has a record suffi
cient to beat any other horse in tbe United
States. I will take him, have him insured, and
travel him all fall, and give yon half I can
make,wbichl think would bo most any amonnt
I will do my own riding, feeding and watering,
and you can send anyone you wish to cuard
you against def rand. I will make you safe,as I
don't suppose yon would like to go yourself. I
think I can carry the horse to Kentucky and
make all tbe money I want by giving him some
fictitious name and calling him a Wayne
county horse. If you consider inv proposition,
I give you reference as to character."
Jt Is scarcely necessary to say that tbe offer
was not accepted. I am at a loss to know
which to admire most the impudence of the
fellow in addressing such a letter to the gentle
man wbo received It, or bis verdancy in imag
ining that his offer would be accepted, or that
the particular horse referred to could be cam
paigned under a fictitious name without bis1
identity being discovered About the most
sensible suggestion he makes Is that the owner
of the horse should send someone along to see
that he wasn't swindled ont of his eyes, A
man starting ont with a ringer to rob the pub
lic would be capable of committing any other
kind ot "defraud" (to use his own choice
phraseology) that he had tbe Ingenuity to in

A GEEEN GOODS GAME.
Swindlers Fall In an Attempt to Catch tbe
President's Son.
New Tobk, August 9. An attempt to
swindle Eussell B. Harrison, son of the
President, by means of the green goods
game, made about six weeks ago, resulted
yesterday in the arrest of three men wbo
occupied three rooms in the improved tene
ment at No. 484 Pearl street. The priso
ners described themselves as Charles Mor
ton, Joseph Barnard, known as "Hungry
Joe, No. 2;" and James J. Daly, In the
apartments where they were found there
was scattered about circulars and alleged
newspaper clippings showing that the priso
ners were well-equipped to carry out their
swindling operations.
The game being worked by the men was
first brought to the attention of the Govern
ment authorities by a letter received from
Russell B. Harrison, wbo sent to Chief
Postoffice Inspector Eathbone.of Washing
ton, a green goods circular which bad been
mailed to "B. B. Harrison, Helena, Mont"
In his letter to Chief Postoffice Inspector
Bathbone, MrrHarrison expressed the hope
that the matter would be looked into at
once and added a remark to the effect that
his reputation had apparently not yet been
sufficiently well established to relieve him
from the annoyance of receiving such mail
nlatte''- . . . . v ,
Chief Eathbone sent his assistant, Mr. Ja
cobs, from Washington to this city, and the
latter gentleman worked in conjunction
with Postoffice Inspectors Hartshorn and
Morris, to bring the attempted swindlers of
the President's son to justice, with the re
sult noted. ...
The stuff found in the green goods men's
apartments included many addressed en
velopes ready for mailing, but lacking the
circulars offering the great Inducements to
invest in counterfeit money. One of the
circulars found in the place set forth that
the money offered was made from plates
formerly in use for making genuine money,
and were what purported to be a newspaper
clipping, told ot the arrest of a man for
counterieiting who was subsequently dis
charged on its being shown that tbe bills he
offered -were genuine.
CHARGE ON THfi C0TJHT7.
Children of a Wealthy Citizen Inmates of a
Poorhmse.
Canton, O., August 9. A sensation was
caused here by the discovery that a son and
daughter of Henry Eohrer, a wealthy citi
zen, had been sent to the County Infirmary.
Eohrer is a retired farmer, who came to
Canton last April and has been living on
North Market street The children are not
bright, and are afflicted with a terrible dis
ease. David is 21 years of age, and com
plains bitterly of being kept by the county
when his father is able to supply all his
wants. Prances, the daughter, is 23 years
old, and does not take her confinement so
hard.
The mother of the children died several
years ago, and later the father married a
Mrs. Jones. The step-mother, when inter
viewed, said David was a mischievous boy
and stole everything he could lay his hands
on. 'The girl, she says, desired to be sent
away, as she did not want to live in the
city on account of the disease with which
she is afflicted. Th&boy has been at the In
firmary for ten weeks and the girl a few
weeks longer. The "matter was not made
public until to-day. ,,

Mt. Gbetna, August 9. Eobert Cole
man, the owner of'Mt. Gretna, will have
expended at least $15,000 when all tbe work
necessary for the proper accommodation of
the Farmers' encampment shall have been
completed. About four weeks ago a large
force of men began clearing away under
brush to permit, the erection of the neces
sary platforms for the exhibition of agricul
tural machinery and to open avenues lor
the accommodation of the tens of thousands
of people wbo are expected to visit the en
campment From eight to ten acres of wood
land have been cleared of all objectionable
material, but no trees were removed unless
their sacrifice was unavoidable.
Nearly 80,000 feet of lumber has been used In
tho constrnction of the platforms, tbe floor in c
of which is plain yellow pine. There are IS
platforms on the ground measuring 32 feet in
width and 150 feet in lengtb, placed in position
at a cost of about 5,000. and these will be
hardly sufficient for the proper display of the
machinery that will beon exhibition during
the encampment. Over ISO applications for
space have been granted.bnt in many instances
exhibitors were required to take less space
thin they wanted. Some of them desired an
ta ire platform, but hadto be content with a
leu.'th of 60 feet in order that all wbo bave
made application might he accommodated.
The 16 platforms are said to have a capacity
three times greater than those at Williams'
G'ove. . "
Manufacturers of. agricultural Implements
from 20 States have secured space for the dis
play of their machinery. Among those which
will have exhibits on tbe ground are all the
New England States and all those contiguous
to Pennsylvania. The great agricultural
States of Ohio and Illinois wilLbe among those
wbo will make creditable displays, and so will
Georgia, Florida and other distant Southern
States. When the holding of the encampment
was first suggested fears were entertained of
its failure because of the supposed disinclina
tion of many manufacturers to cut loose from
Williams' Grove, but to-day iu overwhelming
success seems assured. The area cleared for
the exhibit is covered with small trees running
through openings in tbe -platforms. The foli
age is thick, and will afford ample shade to the
people wbo visit tbe encampment Tbe plat
forms are built from one to four feet from the
ground, according to the lay of the land, and
are located near springs of cool and clear
water, for which Mt Gretna is noted.
An auditorium Is in process of rapid erec
tion in the encampment ground which will
seat about 3,000. It . will be a massive struc
ture, covering an area of nearly half an acre.
Rev.T.DeWittTalmage will dedicate it on Sun
day of next week in the anticipated presence
of thousands ot people. Many families will
camp on the ground during tbe agricultural
exhibition, and hundreds of tents for their
accommodation will be supplied from the State
arsenal. The campers are expected to number
from 2,000 to 3.000.
One of tbe objections to Williams' Grove baa
been tbe presence of fakirs, wbo swindled tbe
unsuspecting agriculturists. These characters
will not be permitted to ply their vocatlonfat
Mt Gretna under any circumstances.

SLEEPING CABS AT A PBEMIUM.
A Lively FIUt Between tbe Pnllmnn and
Wagner Companies.
Chicago, August. The fight between
the Wagner and Pullman companies has
made a mess of the transportation of passen
gers eastbound from Chicago. The Vander
bilt lines, using Wagner cars, have con
tracts for a large share of the Grand Army
of the Bepnblic excursion business and the
crush has been so great as to render the
Wagner equipment of sleeping cars entirely
inadequate. Pullman would not allow a
line using Wagner cars to rnn a Pullman
sleeping car, and the consequence is that
every berth on the Vaoderbilt lines is sold a
week ahead, and, even in the common cars,
passengers tor Boston leave Chicago stand
ing in the aisles.
A trip to the various offices showed that
it was absolutely impossible to secure sleep
ing car accommodations on any east-bound
line for a week" to come. In spite of tbe
immense crowds, there is no question that
various east-bound lines have indnlged in
rate-cutting. To such an extent has this
cutting been carried that, it is estimated, 20
per cent ot the whole, business will be done
at a cut of from fl to ?3 under the half-fare
rate. Thousands of tourists and people
with homes in the East have waited till the
present time to obtain the benefit of the re
duced Grand Army rates. These tickets
are so numerous that they will flood the
market until their limit has expired.

A PBIKCE WHO BET.
Some Inside History Concerning; the Youth
of Napoleon III.
Tooth's Companion. I
Much light will be thrown upon the character-and
career of Napoleon III. by tha
memoirs, soon to appear, of Madams
Cornu, who was the foster sister, the
early playmate and the almost life
long confidante of tbe last Emperor of
the French. Certain anticipations of this
work have already appeared in Paris.
Madame Cornu, whose maiden name was
Hortense Lacroix, was tbe daughter of ona
of Queen Horteuse's ladies of honor. She
was a year youneer than Louis Napoleon;
she was educated with him at St. Loo and
Arenenberg, and was his daiiy playmate as
a child.
"He was a yery, attractive child,"
Madame Cornu has said;"gentle, intelligent,
and more like a girl than a boy. When wa
quarreled, he did not strike me be bit me.
" 'I never struck you,' he said to me af ter--ward.
" 'No,' I answered, 'you never struck me,
but how many times you've bitten me!'
"Not to strike, but to bite that was tha
whole nature of tbe man."
As he grew older, Louis Napoleon be
came a taciturn, moody, dreamy, even timid
boy, who needed to be actually shaken by
his young foster-sister Hortense now and
then to bring him to i realizing sense of tha
world about him.
He early became seized with the notion
that he was a creatnre of fate, and was be
ing impelled to great deeds by an irresisti
ble destiny. He believed that he would fill
more pages of history than bis uncle, Na
poleon I., and that these pages would actu
ally be more brilliant than those his uncle
had filled.
Wben his elder brother died, the idea
took possession of him that he must work
his way to tbe throne of J; ranee. lo this
object," says Madame Cornu, "he would
bave sacrificed Europe, France, his
best friends his very self." Sha
declares that he did not possess the
moral sense. He even cultivated his
morbid, moody manner in order to give tha
world an impression of self-contained, con
templative greatness, and trained himself to
a trick of holding his eyes half shut which
was not natural to him.
His foster sister Hortense refused to sea,
him lor 11 years after he overthrew tbe
liberties of France, so great was her de
testation of -that act' After tbe birth of
his son, tbe Prince Imperial, she renewed
her acquaintance with his family, but never
entered into political sympathy' with him.
She had always a suspicion of bis purposes
and a vivid sense of his cruelties, derived in
part, perhaps, from the bites which he in
flicted upon her in her childhood.
Arrested an an Accomplice.
Shortly after midnight Officer Peoples ar
rested Levi Kobalinski and sent him to tha
Twelfth ward police station, charging him
with being connected in the Ninth ward
poisoning case, an account of which appears
elsewhere in to-dav's Dispatch.
