L. teams, al though it was not of the very highest order. The pitchers cere too 'much (or the batters, and the Cleveland weaklings, therefore, acre not the victims of a one-sided contest. The hqnje team won. of course, but they had no certainty about it until the game was abso lutely finished. Tbe v either was threatening, the grounds rery bad and only 521 persons passed through tbe turnstile, tbe smallest crowd of tbe season. lo analyze tbe team that Cleveland presented one would think that tbe home players would have pulverized them. But such was not tbe case, as tbe borne aggregation did not earn a run tbey made. Little .McGill, the left-handed pitcher, was a riddle that HaDlon's sluggers could not altogether solve. He really pitcbed an excellent game, but bis catcher was not of tbe best material. However, McGill managed to keep the score down sufficiently to make matters exciting. Radford played an admirable came at short; indeed, few men have played it better. Maul pitcbed a good game, and be was well backed up. He badn't much tronble iu hold ing the harmless sluggers from Cleveland down. There was considerable Kickintr at Umpire Holbert on the part of Captain Tebeau, and tbe latter used tbe term ".rotten" more than once to Mr. Holbert. Tbe pair bad quite an cnedifymg argument now and again. Tbe story cf tbe gamo is soon told. Tbe home players got their runs on errors chiefly, and the visitors earned their couple. In tbe sixth inning Radford led off with a double and scored on Tebeau's single. Strieker's triple to center sent Tebeau borne. This tied tbe score. Two singles, a wild throw bv Stein, a bi.se on balls, a passed Dall and a stolen base scored two in tbe eighth .for tbe home players, and that n on the game. Score: F1TTSBUBG.

Captain Anion' Hustlers Defeat tbe Pitts bnrsera and Step Up to Fourth Place Mr. Dor Makee a Yery Poor Show In the Box. I SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DIBrATCH.J Chicago, September 9. Captain Anson took a good start to-day in his little game ot 'leap frog" up tbe National League percentage col umn. He and tbe best of the team straddled over the shoulders of tbe Cincinnati! and squared themselves for a running start at the Pbiladelpbias, who are next in tbe line. Tbe big Captain's team cow occupies the fourth position in tbe race, and the Reds have been crowded back to tbe notch below. AU this shifting was brought about by the "old man's" victory over the Pittsburgs and the Cincin nati' defeat by the Clevelands. The Jonahs seem to have lost their once mysterious Influ ence over the Chicago club. Tbey took their drubbing to-day without of fering much .resistance, Tbey watched tbe game draw away from them and into tbe om man's pocket during the first three inning, and seemed unable to do anything to head it off. Mr. Day, once of the Philadelphia club, eassayed to pitch for tbe 'visitors against Hutchinson for the home team. Mr. Day be haved very badly in the box." He gave ten bases on balls to the Chicago batsmen and the same generosity allowed them ten base bits. Hutchinson spent a very quiet afternoon and finished out the cine innings without sweating bis shirt a little bit. Sales, the Pittsburg short stop, played bis position very loosely. Two runs were scored up for the Chicagos at tbe end of the second inning. Both of them were started by bases on balls. Seven more but tons were shoved up In the string when tbe third inning was over. They were made on five hits, including an introductory three-baser by Wilmot. three bases on balls and a series of er rors. Foster made the rounds in the next inn ing and Carroll and Wilmot both touched all tbe bases in the seventh. Tbe visitors were given a couple of runs in tbe fifth round, and a couple more were dropped in for them in the sixth and seventh. The score: CHICAGO. BETA ElMTTSBCRG.

Large Territory Leased in Hoosierdom Prom Which Pipes WILL BE LAID STEA1GHT TO THE CITT ISFXCIAt. TELEGRAM TO TOT D1SPATOH.1 Chicago, September 9. The Chicago pnblic, which has long been envious of Pitts burg, Indianapolis, Detroit and other cities which are supplied with natural gas has j ust discovered that an abundant supply is at their yery doors, and that, the only things that remains to be done before the new fuel blazes brightly at their hearths, are the ar ranging of a dicker between their City Coun cil and the Standard Oil Company and the laying ot a few miles of pipe. The field from which the gas supply is to be drawn lies in Madison. Grant, Howard and Tipton I counties, a little north of the center of Indiana and abont 130 miles distant from Chicago. There at least 75,000 acres of land have been pnt under lease within the last year mainly through the efforts of John Ziegler, a Pennsylvania German, who has long been in the employ of the Standard, and who secured lor it a large part of its gas land in the Lima field. MADE GOOD BABGAINS. Zieglermade his headquarters at Kofcomo, in Howard county, and obtained the leases in his own name, or rather in the name of Smith & Ziegler, but the Smith of the firm has never yet been made known to persons dealing with it. Being an old hand at the gas and oil business, and the Indiana farmers being inexperienced, he was able to make very good bargains, and so the Standard people, being the first on the ground, have been enabled to obtain their property at a minimum cost. The pipe line has been bnilt by the Colnmbus Construction Com pany lor quite a distance southeast from Chicago, and the work which has been done during the last few days has been to cross the Kankakee marshes while they are dry enough to admit of work being done. Pipe is also being delivered this week at the southern extremity of the line near Koko- mo, and presumably the work of construc tion will soon be under way there. The pipe line is remarkable in some re spects. It is only eight inches in diameter and uniform throughout its entire length. Besides it is made of cast iron pipe. It puzzles a great many people, even those who have had experience with natural gas, to see how, with that sort of a conductor, the gas is to be conveyed in sufficient quantities for so great a distance. If the pressure is great tbe leakage must increase and the friction also is a serious obstacle. "There would be some sense in it if they were building a 30-inch pipe," said a well known Chicago engineer. "It would carry IS times as much gas and with much less resistance to overcome." A BIG TEBBITOBY LEASED. The men who are doing the work do not talk about their plans. It is said that nu merous wells have been sunk and plugged, and the results have been so encouraging that the force of drillers has been doubled. Seven gangs of men are now at work. It is said that tbe wells average about 3,000,000 feet per day, and that the nsual pressuie is in excess of 300 pounds. If that is true tbe supply to be obtained for Chicago, from 75, 000 acres of gas territory, is a large one and sufficient not only for private consumption, but for light manufacturing purposes as well. But. welcome as the new fuel is. the fact that it comes under Standard Oil auspices makes everybody suspicious of it. Under cover of the franchises of the Hyde Park Gas Company, it seeks to lay an eight-inch pipe down the country road which has been dignified with the name Indiana Boule vard, to the Indiana State line, which, for a short distance, is Chicago's eastern boun dary. The pipe is on the gronnd, and there is great uneasiness lest the Standard people may, by a sudden stroke,, put down their pipe and fight it out with the City Coun cil afterward. " If it does not an ordinance is likely to be passed this fall granting the privilege with restrictions which shall limit the price and compel the natural gas people to supply manufacturers as well as private consumers, and at a rate which will enable them to compete on even terms with like consumers in other cities. Doubtless an at tempt will be made also to compel payment for the franchise of about 5 per cent of the gross income of the company. The opera tions of the Standard people just over the Indiana line has created a great boom for Indiana real estate. MINOii POLICE ITEMS.

CUT DOWN THE SALARY, The Allegheny City Organist's Remuneration Reduced ia Committee Popular Sub- scrlpilon to Blake It Up A Spicy Bit of Conversation Overheard. The. Finance Committee of Allegheny Councils held a regular meeting last night at which the principal business discussed was the salary of the organist of the city. Mr. Edwin L-are had read the ordinance unani mously reported to Councils from the City Property Committee, fixing the organist's salary at $1,200 per annum, and made a strong argument in favor of its terms, in stancing the great success of the free recitals and their hold on the popular mind. Mr. Coch ran wanted the ordinance indefinitely post poned. He said the recitals were "fol-de-rol," and that taxpayers would not calmly stand by and see money squandered for such amuse ments. On being questioned by members, Mr. Cochran said he was opposed to paying any salary at all for "two hours fumblinz over tbe organ," and that there was too much money being wasted to suit blm. After a tedious harangue npon the woes of taxpayers, Mr. Cochran ceased, and Arthur Kennedy made a plea for the continuaDco of me recitals ana a proper remunerauuu ui mo organist. He said that the pnblic benefit was so great that be was surprised to bear unfavor able expressions from any source, and that Mr. Carnegie's Ideas were being so clearly carried out by Mr. Wales that it would be a public loss if the recitals ceased. Mr. Kennedy pledged himself to raise 5600 per annum by popular subscription, after the committee voted Mr. Cochran down and reduced the salary to S600 per annum, saying he would give 5100 himself. After the committee adjourned, Mr. Wales stepped up to Mr. Cochran and said: "You don't seem to like music?" Mr. Cochran said he didn't. Mr. Wales then said: ''It would be a good thing for Allegheny If you would move away." An exciting colloquy then ensued, which Mr. Wales closed by saying that "all Mr. Cochran needed to be a regular 'Holman' was a chin whisker and some navy tobacco." WHOLESALE ARRESTS HADE.

The Rain Brlnir lbs River Up Well Sale of the Joseph B. Williams. The heavy rains of the previous night gave the Monongahela a perceptible boom yester day. Within 24 hours tbe river swelled up one foot, and by to-day It is thought it will be much higher. Several boats were engaged in taking coal out from tbe upper pool, and made every thing ready for a start to-day. Fourteen boats from Cincinnati and Louisville came in with empties, and will leave again if tbe water re mains high. The steamer Joseph B. Williams was sold at public auction at the foot of Ferry street in the morning to W. C. Jutte and M. MunbalL The price paid for the big steamer was far below what It was eenerally expected to bring, and the new owners have certainly a good thing. The sale was attended by agents of the lower river transportation line. but the bidding lacked spirit, and Messrs. Jutte and Munball secured tbe boat for 826.250. Tbe new owners have not decided as yet what tbey will do with tbe Williams, but she will likely be run In the New Orleans trade.
