Big Ed "William son von the game to-day for the Chicago! against the Pittsburgs, The game was one of the most interesting kind and it was not won -until-the last Pittsburger had been at bat Up to the ninth the game had been very hotly contested, and the Pittshnrgs never gave up till they had to. The score had been a tie up to this inning. Boyle, who was first at bat, shot a scorching grounder atileckley. It was so hot that the big Qrst baseman bad bis fingers burned. Tben came Williamson, nursing his big bat and smiling blandly at Pitcher Staler. The third time he lunged at the ball be caught It square on the nose, yielding him a long two-base hit and sendine Boyle over tbe rubber. Later he went to third on a sacrifice, and came home on another. Hanlon's team has always been a puzzler to tbe Chicagos, and recently tbey were given a shaking up that setthem to playing ball tor all they were worth. Tbe field work of both teams was of tbe sharpest order. Bastian and Rob inson made some remarkable plays in the in field. Staley and Baldwin were about evenly matched and pitched all tbey knew bow. In the fourth Boyle cot started around tbe bases and attempted to score on a two-base drive by Williamson, but was caught at the Plate. Fields started off with a single, Visner ad vanced him to second with a sacrifice and Beckley took first on a scratch hit. Tben Cor coran ran his bat hard against the ball and drove it toward tbe city, scoring Fields and Beckley and taking third himself. He was caught at the plate a moment later, and the next batter retired tbe.side. Pittsburg did not score after this, although it looked as If tbey would on more than one occasion. Attend ance. 920.

A Hard HIttlna Game In Cleveland In Which th Home Team Came Ont Second Best Baker Compelled to Retire. tSrZCTAL TELBOmAM TO TOX DISrATCB.1 Cleveland, August IS. Heavy batting was the feature of the came to-day played with the Pittsburgs. Tbere were singles, a double, three-base bits and home runs, McKean making the two latter. Baker was on the card to pitch for Pittsburg, but he was an easy mark for the locals and was replaced by Osborn. The latter was fairly murdered. Young, the cyclone pitcher, took matters easy when be saw that Cleveland had the game won, and the tail enders wound up the game with a (treat flourish of trumpets. Sales, Pittsburg's short stop, was unfortunate enough to break bis finger and was compelled to retire from the game. Plttsbnrc was first at bat and scored three rnns on a little loose pitching by Young, Ber cer's three bagger and West's error in richt field. Cleveland pot their first three runs by timely batting, aided by one error and some cood base running. Tbe next three for the local team were made by Wen's home run with two men on bases. The remainder of Pitts burg's runs were made by hard batting. Mc Kean made the longest hit ever made on the grounds. Attendance (XXX The score: FITTSBOnO. B B F A EICLEVELAND.

Celebrating the Service Theological Seminary's Centennial. SEVERAL STATES REPRESENTED Among tbe Hundreds Who Thronged the Old Log Building;. GUBIOTJS CHANGES EFFECTED 51 HUE IPSOX A STATT CORRESPOND XITT.l Ihdustby, Pa, Angnst 13 The roads leading to Service, in Raccoon township, Beaver county, were filled this evening with crowds going to the centennial anniversary of the Service Seminary. People gathered on the grounds early in the aftornoon, and toward eight hundreds had arrlred from places miles around. The south side of Beaver county wis largely represented, while visitors came from points all over the neighboring States. The exercises took place abont a mile from the site of the old seminary. As the hour for the beginning of the ser vice drew near a countless number of teams arrived on the spot, and as each one drove on the church grounds the occupants were closely scanned by anxious spectators look ing for distinguished visitors who had been invited .to the anniversary. Presi dent Harrison was expected by some but a careful scrutiny of the arrivals failed to show tbe Chief Magistrate. Shortly before 7:30 o'clock, the time ap pointed for the opening of the exercises, a little breeze of excitement was created by the arrival of an ancient-looking turnout filled with a rollicking crowd of boys and girls, who imbibed the spirit ol the occa sion. A HAPPI CEO WD. They rolled down the dusty country road in a fumbling old cart that bumped over the stones in a reckless fashion behind a yoke of fly-up-the-creek oxen who, as James "W. Campbell remarked, were in a hurry to get there in time. The interior of the Service Church, where the celebration was held, was pro fusely decorated with handsome flowers tastefully arranged. Beauti ful roses formed pretU decorations on the rostrum. Among those present were Rev. Alexander Young, D. D., of Alle gheny; Rev. J. Ji. Irons, of Muskingum College, and Rev. John McNaughter. Rev. Samuel Collins is expected to-morrow. Rev. "W. J. Golden, the present pastor of the Service Church and who was instru mental in arranging the centennial, was then elected Chairman of the meeting by the large congregation present. .Rev. "W". D. Lvons was elected to act as Secretary. Rev. D. a Littell, D. D., of Pittsburg, was introduced. He entertained the audi ence with an interesting history of the con gregation from its organization to 1852. Among other things he mentioned the great progress made by the church and referred to the carious old-fashioned furniture which has undergone vast changes with the march of time. Key, Mr. Littell is a descendant of one of the oldest families that number themselves among the members of the church. old-time stobies. Following this it was intended to have 'five-minute speeches from different members E resent, but owing to tne lateness of tne our it was decided to postpone the speak ing until to-day. when some interesting reminiscences of the old theological semi nary will be told. Among the oldest members of the church now living who can tell some strange stories are Samuel Nelson, Margaret Craig, John C. Betsey Smith. They were baptized by Rev. D. Anderson, who taught in the first theological seminary on the 'Western Continent, located in Raccoon town ship. Other older members are Ross Taggart and wire, Joseph Campbell and wife, John McClester and wife and the Ewings and Smiths, also the descendants of older Shillitoes and Littells and Robertsons who came through the pastorate of Rev. Sr. McAlwell and Rev. Sr. Carson, of long ago. They all still worship in the same con gregation under the pastorate of Rev. Sr. Golden. The meeting adjourned without any further business to meet this morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. S. Y. Carson will give the historv of the congregation of Service from 1852 to August 10, 1890, followed by five minute speeches from some of the oldest members.

Pioneer of Pittsburg' Indus tries Builder of tbe Only Iron Boat Floated oa the Western Rivers A Brief Sketch of HI Long and TJiefal Llle. Reuben Miller, Jr., one of Allegheny county's oldest, best known and most prom inent citizens, passed away yesterday a few minutes before the hour of midnight at his residence, No. 211 Ridge avenue, Alle gheny. Owing to Mr. Miller's advanced age, his death was not unexpected. The fnneral arrangements have not yet been made. Mr. Miller was born near Frankford, Pa., on June 24, 1805, and was therefore in his 86th year. In the fall of the same year he removed, with his family, to this city, where he received his education and where, at the age of 13, he entered the iron busi ness operated by his father, Reuben Miller, Sr. In 1821 he made a trading trip to Louisville, returning to re-enter his father's employ. In 1821 he opened a gen eral provision store in Pittburg, and soon extended his business into the adjacent counties. The next year he obtained an in terest in a tobacco factory, and in 1836 he bonght out his partners and continued the business alone. In the same year he and others commenced and successfully carried on a foundry on the Sonthside. In 1839 this firm built the Valley Forge, the first and only iron boat that ever navigated the "Western rivers. From 1840 to 1854 Mr. Miller confined himself entirely to his steam boat, but in the latter retired from the business transferring his interests to his sons, who are prominent in business circles. Mr. Miller has been connected in an official capacity with many pnblic institutions, and was always Interested in matters relating to the welfare of the community. In 1825 Mr. Miller married Miss Ann L., yonngest daughter of Peter Harvey. Five sons and two daughters resulted from this union. Both daughters died in infancy, one son was drowned in 1860 at the age of 15, and another yielded up his life for his country on the field of Gettysburg. The Chickasaw Election. Abdmobe, I.

THE NEW Y0BK STRIKE. Continued from First Page. General Superintendent Voorhees for in strnctions. The reply was to take back six passenger train crews, including the oldest men, and to instruct the others to report at the General Superintendent's office this morning, where their applications will be passed upon individually. The report that the Brotherhood firemen on the whole road had been ordered out originated at Albany, and a press bulletin to that effect was sent broadcast. Mr. Lynch, of the Executive Board of the Local Brotherhood Assembly, who came down from Albany this evening, said, that not only was the renort nntrne. but the Broth- l erhoodwonld on no account take any action. POWDERLY HOPEFUL THAT THE CENTRAL STRIKE WILL YET PROVE A SUCCESS. Ho Think the Firemen and Engineer Will Ultimately Join In the Movement The Responsibility for the Trouble Lay Entirely With the Railroad. Detroit, August 13. The Executive Board Knights of Labor assembled here in secret session at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and at this hour (11 P. M.) are still in con ference. General Master Workman Pow derly was seen this evening, and was very chary and guarded about talking on the labor difficulties. -In response to the question: "Does the going out on strike of the Brotherhood of .Locomotive Firemen as announced in to-day's telegraphic advices come upon you as a surprise?" "Scarcely as a surprise," he replied. "I had every reason to believe that such would be the result before leaving the East. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will unquestionably follow the firemen out on strike. There "is nothing else for them to do. Their interests are identical. The action of the firemen was purely voluntary and with out outside influences. It is just as much their fight aa it is that of the Knights of Labor " SOMETHING RADICALLY 'WRONG. "Will you say something regarding the responsibility for this extensive railway strike and the consequent inconvenience to the general public?" "When men are dismissed and thrown out of employment in lumps which aggre gate from 50 to 60, as was the case with tne New York Central and West Shore lines as long ago as last April, it is pretty con clusive evidence that there must be some thing very wrong with the management The Knights of Labor who were employed on these lines had, at that time, no intention of striking. They bore this very nnjnst and undesirable condition of affairs until it became evident that it wonld be better to be .knocked down altogether than tobedropped in detail. The railroad people brought on tbe tronble. The men did not care to strike, but it was plainly the fixed inten tion of Mr. H. Walter Webb to force them to do so. He discharged men right and left indiscriminately. No man who had the in terest of the community at heart would have done anything so well calculated to harass and disturb the public. He would not have lowered his dignity in the slightest degree had he met and talked with the men on the subject of the existing troubles. By this course tbe impending conflict might have been readilv avoided." Mr. Powderly said Mr. Webb was asked to investigate the alleged mistakes which caused their discharge by the men and by Mr. Holland. The latter tendered his serv ices as peacemaker and mediator. He de nied that Mr. Holland was instrumental in bringing about the strike, he having had nothing to do with it. Asked as to whether Mr. Depew went to Europe to avoid participation in tbe im pending difficulties Mr. Powderly said that Mr. Depew was very diplomatio; that the wholesale discharges were made 'in April, and that Mr. Depew may have left the coun try to avoid going on record in connection with tha trouble." .. 1 "The meeting of the. Executive Commit tee," he said, "was arranged at onr last meeting in June, and was not called on ac count of the strike. I would add that it is not the intention of the strikers to interfere with passenger trains. Their efforts will be confined wholly to freights. We, of course, expect the strike to prove successful." 1.0 ORDER YET ISSUED. A Talk With Grand Master Sargent of i tbe Firemen' Brotherhood. TebbeHatjte, Ind., August 13. Grand Master Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, leit at noon for Cleveland to meet with a Grievance Committee, but whether or not in connection with the Central strike is not known. At the tnational headquarters here, positive state ment was made that he had not ordered the firemen to strike. When seen by a reporter yesterday Mr. Sargent said it was out of the question for tbe Brotherhood to engage in a strike as the case stood. He said that under the laws of the Brotherhood and Federation of Railway Employes that a local Grievance Committee of employes mnst first try to settle the dis pute with the employers. Failing to do so, then he wonld be called npon to join the committee in the effort. If no settlement was effected then be might decide in lavorof a strike, and his decision wonld be submit ted to a vote of all the members of the Brotherhood on the system of railways where the grievance existed. COLLECTINGA LIBRARY. PECULIAR PECULATION IN PHILADELPHIA POSTOFFICE. A Clerk Charged With fltenllng 2,000 Vol smc. Belonging to Yarloa Publisher His Arrest Create n elcnaatloa In Polit ical Circles. rSFECIAL TELEORAJC TO TUX DISPATCH.! Philadelphia, August 13. A sensa tion was caused in political circles to-day by tbe arrest of John O'Donnell, a well known leader in the Fifteenth ward, on the charge of having robbed the United States mails. O'Donnell, who lives at 1832 Wood street, has been active in tbe politics of the ward in which he resides lor tbe past 15 years. He has been President of the Ward Executive Committee and a delegate to the State Convention. In 1882 he was nomi nated by what was tben the McGrath ele ment as a candidate for the Legislature, but the ticket upon which he was named with two others was withdrawn in order that a coalition might be made with the independ ent Republicans. When William F. Harrity was appointed postmaster he selected O'Donnell as messen ger for the Executive Department On ac count of his extensive acquaintance he was placed in charge of the door leading to the Postmaster's room, andhis knowledge of the politicians enabled him to tell who ought and who ought not to be kept in waiting. His duties were not of A confidential nature, but be was considered a valuable man. On July 1, 1887, O'Donnell was appointed a clerk in the Delivery Department, where he remained undisturbed until the discovery of his peculations. Complaints from the various publishing bouses in this city have been received by Postmaster Field .lor over a year past re garding books sent either to or from their customers. Yesterday it was discovered that O'Donnell was the thief, -and to-day he was arrested and given a hearing before United States Commissioner Craig. At the hearing Henry T. Coates, of the firm of Porter & Coates, Horace F. Ridings, of the J. B. Lippincott & Co., and other publish ers and book sellers identified stolen books that bad been traced to O'Donnell.

CAUSED A SENSATION Quay's Scheme to Abandon the Force Bill and End the Session EXCITES THE EADICAL MEMBERS. A Warm Tims Expected at tbe Eepnblican Caucus To-Bight." DEBATE UPON THE TIN PLATE TAEIPP IITIOU A STATT COBBXSrOKDXKT.J "Washington, August 13. Senator Q nay called up his resolution providing for a vote August 30 on the tariff bill, and it was referred to the Committee on Rules, as well as the Edmunds and Blair resolution to limit debate. Senator Hoar's similar resolution was already tbere, and that makes' a round four, all intended to help the Re publicans out of the difficulty into which they are plunged by the antiquated rules of that antiquated body called the Senate. The resolution of Senator Quay is the only one which excited any attention, and that partly because it comes from Quay and partly because of its clear proposal to end the sessions of Congress with the disposal of the tariff bill and the appropriation bills. It was introdnced at so late an hour yester day afternoon that it became known last night to but few outside of the few who were in the Senate at the moment it was read. A NUMBER OP KICKEB3. This morning it was all the gossip and the opinions regarding it were various. Members of the House and Senate who have built mnch upon the passage of An election bill professed to be much dis pleased, but to ask anyone to talk for publi cation was to shut him up at once. Senator Quay himself will say nothing except that ne exprsssed bis views In tne resolution. While at first it seemed like an exceed ingly bold step on the part of the Napoleon of the National Committee, and many were inclined to criticise it as almost an intru sion, as it was done practically withont con sultation, tbe weight of Republican opinion now seems to be that it is the only way out of the snarl, the only way to secure any party legislation whatever, and certainly the only way by which a tariff bill can be passed at this session. Some concessions had to be made. Any attempt to limit debate to any extent that would have amounted to any good, would have been fought tooth and nail by the Democrats, and, as has been foreshadowed in these telegrams, that plan would have re sulted in the loss or both tbe tariff and elec tion bills for this session. Something had to give way or Congress must sit until next winter. PEDEBAL ELECTION BILL DOWNED. It would have been absolutely impossible at best to enact the elections bill in season for it to affect the election of the next Con gress, and the Senator, who seemed to be tbe only tactician of the body to which he be longs, determined, if possible, to set at rest as soon as possible the question in which Pennsylvania is most interested, and that is the tariff bill. He had waited weeks and weeks for the old managers of the Senate to do something which savored of good man agement, and nothing came of it but a waste of time, dawdling day after day over one or two items of tbe tariff bill, the Republican majority hopelessly helpless in the hands of the Democratic minority. Those who are not absolute cranks on the subject of an election bill, appear to be generally agreed that the Qnay resolution is the first glimmer of practical common sense that bas been exhibited in the Senate in tbe way of management It is expected that the old Senators will attempt to take the wind out of the sails of tbe audacious sena torial fisherman of Pennsylvania. It wonld hardly be consistent with tbeir "dignity," to allow him to solve the problem for them with a nod. A WASH TIME PBOBABLE. Therefore it is probable, there will be some warm discussion of the various resolu tions at the caucus called for to-morrow evening. It is said that Hoar, Reed, Lodge and others, infatuated with the idea of the election bill, are straining every nerve to carry the day in favor of a prolongation of tbe session until the election bill is reached, but it so it is not apparent that they are making much headway. One of the shrewdest Senators said to The Dispatch correspondent this evening that a resolution, similar at least, to the one pre pared by Senator Qnay would be reported and adopted before tbe end of the week, and tben the end of Congress would be in sight Liqhtneb. TIN PLATE TARIFF. CARLISLE MAKES USE OF ARITHMETIC. A LITTLE Gorman Itfnkrs a Bitter Attack on That Provision of Ihn BUI Other Senator DIscass the Matter Pro Bad Con, bat No Vote I Reached. Washington, August 13. In tho Sen ate to-day Mr. Carlisle took part in the tariff discussion, and citing a statement made before the House Committee on Ways and Means by Mr. Untemyer (that the quantity of tin plate annually imported into the United States was 336,692 tons, costing 23,000,000, and that the production of that material in this country would give employment to 300,000 workmen), said that he had made a calculation of the wages which those workmen would receive under those conditions. If one-half of the $23, 000,000 was spent in wages (the other half going for material and expenses) each one of the workmen would receive the mag nificent sum of 38 33 per year, and if the whole amount was paid in wages, each one of the workmen would receive $76 66 per year. And that, he said, was the sort of statement on which this legislation was asked Mr. Gorman addressed the Senate in op position to the proposed increase of duty on tin' plates. In conclusion he said: "I know that nothing which we can say will stay the majority. You (addressing the Republican side) have entered on the passage of an act which lays, throughout its every page, additional bnrdens on the people. Now that you have this great ma jority counted and made and fashioned to order, you will pass this bill. You will im pose these heavy burdens on the agricul tural people of the country. We cannot stay yon. We cannot stop you. At all events we have done the one thing which was right and proper and necessary that is, we' have had free and open disenssion of this matter. The time has come (as I take it) when we are to vote upon it The decree has gone forth. We will rely on the Amer can people to reverse that which we believe to be a great wrong against the entire coun try. Mr. Gorman's belief that the time had come to vote on the amendment was not in accordance with the views of other Senators, for the debate continued at lengtb, being participated in by Senators Gray, Aldrich and Dawes, the latter expressing his convic tion that the American laborer would rather pay one-half a cent more for a tin can bear ing the stamp of the American eagle than one-half a cent less tor one bearing tbe stamp of the British lion, Some applause in the (galleries. Gray said that Mr. Dawes had oeen vamping up some oi ius aiuuip oratory of 1888, but that that would hardly do in the United States Senate, where questions should be discussed and determined in an intelligent manner. Mr. Hlscock expressed bis belief that there was no item in the tariff bill that more clearly illustrated the policy of the Republican party , and the principles of protection than the tin plate item. The in crease ol dutv on tbe plate had received the unanimous vote of the Republican s-epre- KEW ADVCTTlSEarEXTS. THE PEOPLE'S STORE FIFTH AVENUE, PITTSBURG.

THE BOHEMIANS OBJECT. Tbey. Do Not Wnnt Foreign Languages Taught la the Public School. Chicago, August 13. A meeting of rep resentatives of the various Bohemian gym nastic societies of Chicago was held in Bohemian Turner Hall this evening for the purpose of protesting against the teaching of any foreign language in the public schools. Mr. Adolph Kraus, ex-President of the Board of Education, said it was nn jnst to select any one foreign language to the exclusion of others to be taught In schools supported by public taxation. He particularly opposed the teaching of Ger man. A formal petition to the Board of Education was drawn up which the com mittee expects will be signed by 10,000 Bohemian taxpayers, besides thousands of Scandinavians, Italians, Poles and French. The petition holds that, if German is con tinned, the Bohemian language should be taught at least in the city districts where Bohemians are in the majority. Should the petition be ignored by the Board of Educa tion the Bohemians propose to appeal to the State Legislature. mDIAHS STILL TURBULENT.
