There was plenty of enjoyment for lawn
tennis players at Sewickley yesterday after
noon. The tournament of the Sewickley
club commenced, and if the weather had
been made to order it could not haTe been
better. There are lots of tennis enthusiasts
in Sewickley as well as at other places, and
the "lashionable game" always goes well
down at the gay little town in the Ohio
Valley. But the surroundings yesterday
were more than ordinarily attractive. Amid
the glorious weather the feminine beauty of
Sewickley was represented in great force,
and no tennis' are more enthusiastic
about the game than the beautiful belles of
Sewickley. They certainly added luster to the
opening day of the tournament.
Those who entered the club grounds to see
exciting contests were not disappointed, as
there were really some hard fought battles.
One of the great features was the appearance,
or rather reappearance, of Mr. S. B. iloorhead,
who just returned from Newport yesterday
morning, where he, to a great extent, added
fame to his nanus as a tennis player. Many
people were anxious to seo the young Pitts
burger perform a la Newport style, but as far
as matters went yesterday he was called upon
to do his best.
Tcsterdaj's play was confined to tbesineles,
and they were not completed. Play com
menced at 3 o'clock and finished about 5:30, and
the second round was only finished. Strictly
speaking the second round was not completed,
as there is an unfinished contest between
Messrs Ewlng and Vail. Of the playing gen
erally it can be stated that it was fair, though
not by any means brilliant. Mr. Christy, as
be always does, made a very interesting
display of dashing tennis. He plays
with remarkable Tim and in some respects re
minds one of the famous English amateur. Sir
Edward Grey. Mr. Christy apparently does
not believe in "toying" with an opponent.no
matter how easy a victim that opponent may
be. This was made clear in Mr. Christy's con
test with Mr. Miller. The latter was no doubt
outplayed but made a very creditable showing;
so much so that Mr. Chnsty at stages made
i ery emphatic manifestations of feeling. The
contest between the two was certainly the
most Interesting of the dav. Mr. F. X. Ban
was pitted against Mr. Moorhead in the open
ing round, and Mr. Barr really made a good
stand against the local crack. Mr. Barr was
not aware that be would-be called upon tojplay,
and was therefore not quite prepared for the
contest, which makes the performance all the
more creditable. Messrs. Miller and Callow
made a good contest, and the former only won
b) determined playing. Mr. Christy had a
"walk over" in the hrst round, as his opponent,
Mr Bayard Reed, did not appear. Messrs.
Emg and Brooks made a good fight of it, and
bv good work Mr. Ewing managea to win. Mr.
Vail bad not a hard task to defeat Mr. R. P.
Kevin. Mr. G. B. Zug had the bye but was
easily disposed of by Mr. Moorhead.
In the second round Mr. Chnsty, as noted
above, made an cxcitiug argument with Mr.
Miller, and there is certainly much credit due
to the latter for making such a cood stand. Mr.
Muorhead beat Mr. Reed. After one set had
been played the latter retired, be only playing
the one go as to have a chance for second prize.
Messrs. Ewing and vail played one set and the
balance will be played off to-morrow. To-day
tie doubles lull be played and the finals to
morrow Following are the results of yesterday's con
tests. First round:
BR- B. Miller beat A. CallowT-o. 2-6, G-0. Mr.
Christy beat Bajardlteed by default. T. E.

Dame Fortune Sllil Declines to Smile on

other Gome .Despite millers' Great
Effort.
rSPKCIAI. TXLXQBAX TO THX OrSPATCa.l
Beookxym, September Z If Same Fortune
smiles upon any club the Pittsburg National
League club are certainly not haying any of It.
The visitors lost to-day's game by a solitary
mlsplay, the Brooklyns just beating them out
by one run, making the third game of the
series they bare won by this small margin.
That the Plttsburgs tried to break tbelr long
string of defeats is beyond doubt. In the
eighth inning, when a double play with three
men on bases retired the Brooklyns, Miller
slapped his knees in great glee and shouted,
"We've got them; oh! George, we'vegot them."
Never in the history of the national game has
a man hustled more to win than the little fel
low. But he was sadly disappointed to-day.
That no game is won until tbo last man was
out was proved to-day.
Say pitched for the nsltors, and, although
not hit hard, his work was rather erratic. In
the eighth Inning, with two out. Day hit the

in play, a new. one was presented. Here was a
faint hope for the Brooklyn. The ball In use
had become soggy, and the visitors seemed to
handle It as easy as they would a rubber one.
Caruthers easily retired Bay when the latter
hit a bounderto him. Miller, on entering the
field, picked up the ball and began to roll it
around in the dirt. He was Been by the Brook
lyn players, and another brand new ball was
ordered thrown out Heckerprotested, but to
no avail, and finally said: "Well, we might as
well win a new ball as an old one." '
He neither got the new or the old ball, as his
team lost. Clark was hit by a pitched ball and
went to second when Hecker allowed Smith's
grounder to get past him. Caruthers then hit
the new ball for three bases, bnt easily made
the circuit of the bases, as Wilson did not re
turn the ball accurately; m fact, he returned
it very wildly, thus losing the game. The

Boston, 4 Chicago, 3,
Boston. September 2. Boston and Chicago
(N. L.) were to play two games to-day, but the
first one came to an unsatisfactory conclusion
and will be carried before the Leagne directors
for settlement. At 2 o'clock neither the regular
umpire, McQuade, nor the substitute, Fessen
den, was on the grounds, and Anson, White,
Manager Selee and Captain Smith were in the
dressing room, and before the gong had rang
started the game with Boston at the bat and
his oWn catcher, Nagle, as umpire. The Bos
tons had been retired when Selee and Smith
came out, and they at once declined to go on.
Anson ordered Nagle to take the time for the
minute of delay allowed by the rule, when
Fessenden, the substitute umpire, appeared.
Anson asked for his anthority to act, and Fes
senden showed a letter from President Soden,
dated August 20. announcing the receipt of a
letter from Nick Young appointing Fessenden
substitute for Boston. Anson declined to rec
ognize him unless Youne's letter wasoroduced.
and this not being at hand, ordered Nagle to
carry out the rule. Nagle, after waiting a
minute, declared the game forfeited to Chi
cane In the meantime Fessenden called upon the
Chicagos to proceed with the game, waited five
minutes, and then declared the game forfeited
to Boston. He said later, however, that he
wonld not have acted at all had he known that
half an inning had been played. After the row
was over Young's letter was produced, dated
August 18, but Anson held that Nagle's action
was iegai,ana tnar ne was entitled to tne game.
The local scorers will count the game neither
way in the standing until it is settled by the
League.
Anson then declined to play the second game
until 330 p. M.. but finally yielded when he re
alized that the delay would disgust the crowd.
He began with Luby and Nagle as the battery,
but changed them after the first inning, and as
their only play was a base on balls given by
Luby their names do not appear in the score.
The Bostons won the game by a combination qf
hits and errors In the second and fourth inn
ings. Score:

shall have therein a vote proportionate to the
number of single tax organizations represented

Sixth, That this committee shall determine
the time and place and representation therein
of future conventions and National League and
Single Tax Clubs of the United States.
The committee had also a plan ready
which called forth a discussion. The com
mittee's plan was read first and Mr. Cars-
caden's resolutions were placed before the
meeting as an amendment. Mr. Carscaden
saidhisideawas to construct the organization
so that the power of conducting it would be
put in the hands ot the general body and
not in the power of the execntive body.
In other words to work it from the bottom up.
RESOLUTIONS.
Altera lengthy discussion, participated
in by H. Martin Williams, ot Missouri, C.
J. Buell, of Minnesota, and others, it was
finally agreed "That a committee of five be
appointed by the Chair, to whom shall be re
ferred all propositions submitted to the con
vention, which will be reported and acted
on."
The Chairman named the following:
Messrs. McDowell, of Tennessee; Bnell, of
Minnesota; Croasdale, of Hew York; Ripley,
of Illinois, and Atkinson, of Pennsylvania.
Letters of apology for non-attendance were
read from several single tax men, among
them Charles Beade, of Kansas.

be and are hereby oraganized into a National
Single Tax League. All organizations sub
scribing to the National Single Tax platform
shall be eligible for membership.
Resolved, That the General Committee of
the National Simile Tax League shall consist

cancies shall serve only until the single tax or

bership, eacn memDer 01 tnis committee snau
have one' vote. The general committee may
elect such officials and appoint such employes
and sub-committees as they may deem neces
sary. INDORSED BY ALL.
Resolved. That while the League is in organ
ization and seeks to Incorporate its economic
views in law through poUtical action, we glad
ly recognize the religions feeling that animates
the desire for justice, and recommend the co
operation of such parties in full accord with
our views as may tend to advance single tax on
ethical grounds.
The report was adopted. The five dele
gates at large who, with a delegate from
each State in the conference and one from
the District of Columbia, will constitute
the National Committee, were appointed as
follows: William x Urossdale, Louis F.

Garrison, of Boston, said that 'previous to
Mr. Cleveland's free trade message,
he used to keep clippings from

They came In small and slowly.
Since the message they increased hundred
fold. To Mr. Cleveland was not due the
credit of this, but he was the o'ecasion. The
mention of Mr. Cleveland's free trade
message brought loud cheers. Continuing,
Mr. Garrison said: "Our reforms had been
marked with great wisdom. Its power has
been felt by the Democracy of the State of

Instruction! Issued to Chicago Policemen
Regarding the Strike.
Chicago, September 2. All the new
bosses are still employing non-union men,
but their employing capacity has greatly
diminished'since last spring. The old bosses

about 38 men.
Tha Chief of Police has issued the follow
ing bulletin: "A policeman must not inter
fere or meddle in civil matters except to pre
vent a disturbance or to quell one actually
begun. He must be constantly on the alert
and under no circumstances must he take
part or sides in any controversy or discussion
regarding labor troubles, strikes or snch
lite. It is the dutv of the police to faith
fully and impartially enforce the laws, to
protect property and the rights of all
citizens, and to preserve the pace. "Work
ingraen, whether union or non-union men,
must not be interfered with in tbeir work,
and crowds must not be allowed to congre

In Their Work, Saja Webb, and That Is

POWDEKLI TOLD THEM TO GO WEST
Netv York, September 2.To-day the
State Board of Arbitration began its inves
tigation here regarding the New York Cen
tral strike. Third Vice President "Webb
was called to the stand. He said that on
August 8 a large number of employes left
and their places had been filled. He, as
manager of the transportation and opera
tion departments, had discharged 78 of the
20,000 for good reasons, which he refused to
give to Mr. Holland. The reason was un
satisfactory service. He said Engineer Lee
was discharged for insolently saying that he
would tie up every wheel between here and
Buffalo if he didn't get some of the Yander
bilt money.
Continuing, Mr. "Webb said several of
the men knew the cause for which they were
discharged. Their relations with the
Knights of Labor had nothing to do with
their discharge. Mr. Lee's prominence in
the order was no reason (or his discharge.
Mr. Pryor endeavored to find out if the
Knights of Labor question had been dis
cussed by the Board of Directors, but the
board declined to admit the question.
shut off.
"That shuts us off," remarked Mr. Pryor,
turning around to the Knights of Labor
Executive Committee.
Mr. "Webb said he had arranged for the
services of Pinkerton's men some time be
fore the strike.
"When asked about the details of the ar
rangement Mr. "Webb declined to answer by
advice of counsel. Mr. "Webb did not seek
the protection of the police authorities prior
to employing Pinkerton's men. This con
cluded his testimony.
Mr. "Webb was followed by members of
tne unights of Labor 'who were disinisjed
from the New York Central employ. Their
testimony went over the ground of the al
leged and supposed cause of their dismissal
and incidents connected therewith, already
substantially covered in these dispatches.
J. J. Holland and Hon. John Devlin, of
the Executive Committee, testified as to
their efforts to bring about a settlement oi
the difficulty by arbitration."'
TOLD THEM TO GO TYEST.
F. J. Lee introduced the correspondence
which passed between himself and T. V.
Powderly. The latter advised him to move
cautiously as he waa competing with a cor
poration that controlled millions of dollars
where the labor party controlled cents.
On August 2 Mr. Powderly wrote: "I
regret to hear of the condition of affairs. If
there is to be trouble it will be wben Mr.
Depew is away. I advise you to avoid a
strike at all hazards as the order can,'t sup
port you now. Act on the follow
ing suggestion: Select from your
men such as are good and reliable
and secure places for them in the "West.
Then have them ask for shorter hours and
higher wages. This the road will not grant.
Then have them quit and take the new
places secured for them. Do this secretly
and wait until Mr. Depew returns. He is a
Presidental candidate and would not care
for a strike on his road."
General Master "Workman Powderly was
next called. He related his interview with
Mr. "Webb and brought out nothing new.
This ended the examination for the day.

A Survivor of the Little Big Horn Massacre
Alive In Indlnna.
Indianapolis, September 2. The only
known snrvlvor of the band that followed
Custer into Sitting Bull's village will
be brought from Harrison county, Ind., to
the insane asylum in this city to-day.
His name is "Wade Evans, and he Is aged
about 45 years. His relatives knew that he
was with Custer and snpposed tbat he bad
been killed, but three years later he was
bv accident found in an insane hospital at
"Washington. D. C. His reason had been Dar-
tially restored, and he related many incidents of
the great massacre, bnt could sot tell where he
had been since the fight or how he came to oe
in the asylum. He was brought to his home in
Harrison county, where be remained a short
time, when be suddenly disappeared, and
nothing was heard of him again until about a
year ago, wben he came home apparently sane
and in excellent health. He refused to say
where he had been or what he had been doing,
and the matter Is still a great mystery.
A few months ago bis reason again began to
totter and is now completely dethroned. Very
little can be learned of his history, but it is
known beyond doubt that he was with Custer,
that he made his escape, and tbat his insanity
was produced by fright in the terrible massacre.

long life and good health is that they cor

everyone else, they are more frequently
troubled with constipation than any other
physical disorder. To correct this they take
St Patrick's Pills in preference to any
