Cincinnati, September 1L The Pitts
burgs again met defeat at the bands of the
Beds to-day, buHn a much more interesting
came than yesterday's. Duryea and Ander
son were the prizes in the box for their
respective sides. Duryea pitched a very
strong game throughout the contest, only
four hits having been made off his delivery,
Anderson also oltched very well, but his side
could not do any batting toward scoring any
more than one run. Both teams put up a good
fielding game, and were frequently applauded.
The second came was not as exciting as the
first. The Pittsbnrgers once more showed re
markable talent for not hitting the bill. Their
fielding was tolerably fair. The scores:

rSFECIAL TELIGEM TO TBE DISPATCH.!
Butler, Pa, September 1L The third day
of the fair was a success In every particular.
The grounds were slightly muddy in the morn
ing, but later in the day they were in pretty fair
condition. Twelve thousand tickets were sold
at tbe gates, which together with tbe season
tickets previously sold, run the attendance up
to 14.000. Everybody seemed to be pleased with
the shows. The cavalcade, which took place at
5 o'clock, was especially fine. The track was
in better condition than yesterday, but was still
too heavy for good racing.
The 2-year-old half-mile trot for a purse of
$50 was won by Time, owned by Barney Walton,
of Kittanning, in 1-37.
Alamauza won the 3-year-old race, one mile

SIIXL IN DOUBT.
Captain Sam Brown May Continue aa a
Piitron of the Tnrf.
Captain 8. S. Brown left Jast evening for
Louisville. The future of the Brown stable
has not yet been definitely settled. During a
talk at the depot the Captain said that in case
Trainer Bodgers concluded to retire from the
business he would make a general sale of his
horses in training after the West Chester meet
ing, tbe sale to include 14 yearlings bred at his
farm in Tennessee. If Mr. Kodgers concludes
to remain In tbe arena tbe Captain will in all
likelihood still continue as one of the leading
owners of tbe country.
Tbe newspaper broadsides against Trainer
Rodcers have had the effect of souring tbe
gentleman to an extent, but he may change his
mind and continue on in his official capacity.
In case the sale takes place Captain Brown's
brood horses. Including Troubadour, Blue
Wing, Matinee, Mona and others, will be trans
ferred to Brownsville, as has been mentioned
in these columns.
About tbe St. Lejrer Winner.
The Duke of Portland's Memoir is a brown
filly standing about 15 hands 3 inches in hoight
She is a beautiful specimen of medium-sized
race horse of high class. Her bead is neat and
blood-like and well set on to a perfectly shaped
neck. Her shoulders are very sloping and as
well placed as the most fastidious could desire.
Her quarters are sufficiently let down, and ber
hind legs are well under ber. She has a fair
amount of bone and power; but she Is not of
what racing-men are fond of calling "the
massive type." Her owner's St Serf, who is
by the same sire, St. Simon, Is a very different
looking horse. He is probably about 16
bands high, with great length. Like Memoir
he is a dark brown, with a good head, neck and
shoulders. In the loins he is rather too slack;
but his quarters are good. His bocks are just
a little too much bent and a trifle too far be
hind bis body. He also has the fault com
monly known as "showing too much daylight"
For all that, he is a great striding horse, with
very trne action, Immense reach and indomita
ble pluck. In the spring be was a mere raw,
unfurnished baby, and we have never known a
colt make more rapid improvement.

A GOOD SHOOTING MATCH.
A. H. King Defeats H. B..MobIer In an Inter
estlng Contest.
One of the most interesting shqoting matches
tbat has taken place in Western Pennsylvania
for a long time took place yesterday at Bruuot's
Island, Tbe contestants were A. H. King and
H. B. Mobler, both well-known local shooters.
Tbe conditions were to shoot at 25 live pigeons
each at 30 yards rise and 80 fall, for $100 a side.
Jim Crow was judge for Mr. King and F. F.
Davison was jndge for Mohler. Charles A.
Richardson was referee. Messrs. Crow and E.
E. Sbaner selected the pigeons, and better birds
have not been shot at in this locality.
There was a large crowd present to witness
tbe contest and the crowd evinced considera
ble enthusiasm. Both shooters were In ex
cellent form, and there-was considerable odds
mm tbe gun despite tho quality of the bird;. Mr.
King, particularly, displayed deadly aim, kill
ing 24 of his 25 birds, and only used his second
barrel twice. Tbis good score, of course, won
tbe match. Mr. Mohler shot admirably, but
was soinewhatunf ortunate. He killed 22 of his
23 pigeons, hat three of them fell outside the
bonndary.llne, leaving him 19 to bis credit. He
bad frequently to resort to his second barrel,
and did so with very .good effect. Mr. King's
Eerformance certainly ranks him among tbe
est local shooters.
After the match several members of the
Herron Hill Guu Club had a practice shoot at
IZ.vKtnna tartrate
Postponed tbe Races.
New York, September 1L Wet weather
caused the postponement of the trotting races

Butler, September 11. There .is no
falling off in the volume of new work in the
Hundred-foot district If anything the re

farm, is through the sand, and from present in?
dlcations will make from 75 to 100 barrels a day.
This well is located three-quarters of a mile
from Amberson station, toward Evans City,
and is' regarded as important. Considerable
territory is opened up by its coming in good.
Mr. Christie has located No. 3, same farm, and

Two Dry Holes.

An Independent movement.
The producers in the Butler field are very
indignant over tho Standard's last cut of i
cents on the premium, which now gives them
bnt 12 cents premium on the barrel, when
formerly it was 20 cents. A number of Pitts
burg producers to-day met with tho Butler
operators with a view of devising means to pro
tect their interest. Following is what a lead
ng producer said to The Dispatch reporter:
"We reel tbat tbe Standard have said to us,
hold up both hands; and it we don't get a move
on they will rob us of all we possess. 'The pro
ducers can stand many things, but tbey can't
stand everything. We now propose to organ
ize a pipe line and refining company, which
will be exclusively owned by producers, drill
ers, tool dressers and business men in tbe oil
conntry, with stock in small shares, and said
stock to be non-transferable. . Tbe producers
have been worked up to a fever beat, and
mean business. A large nnmber of producers
and business men in tbe Butler field are
anxious to invest in a project of
this nature. I tell you that there
is a plan already on foot to organize
an independent pipe line, and in a few days
we will be able to give you something to pub
lish that will show to the world of olldom that
we are able to protect our interests. It is
high time tbat the producers and those inter
ested m the oil business should learn the easy
methods by which the Standard Oil Company
pnll the wool over tbeir eyes in regard to tbe
reporting of production, consumption and
shipments of oil as published daily. Having
exclusively tbe handling of all oil, since Joe
Craig & Co. sold out, they are able to manipu
late these reports to suit their wants.
For instance, if tbe Standard, wishes
to depress tbe markets, and make .the
figures show up as a reason for doing so,
tbey instruct their employes to run all the oil
out of the producers' tanks and clean up tbe
fields, which swells the stock, and then they
cry 'too much oil;' whereas, on tho other hand,
when they get loaded up and ready to fleece
the lambs, tbey Inform tho producers that tbey
are short of tankage and only run enough out
of their tanks to ksep the wells from shutting
down, thus decreasing the runs by holding the
bulk of the stocks on the field. This same
method is applied In the statement of ship,
ments."

WALL STREETAT FEVER HEAT,
VIOLENT MARKET FLUCTUATIONS CAUSE
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Prices of Cereals Go Up With a Bush
,, Heavy Offers of Government Bonds for
the Prepayment of Interest Vnnderbllt
Is Not In tho List.
New Yoke, September 11. All the spec
ulative markets were excited and uneasy to
day, and fluctuations more violent than at
any time for many years. In the grain
markets the fluctuations were wild, and the
prices .went up with a rnsh, wheat ad
vancing 4J4 cents a bushel, corn 3 cents,
oats 3 cents, and other small grains about
the same ratio. "
The trading in the Produce Exchange in
the early hours was marked by great excite
ment, and in the early trading it was al
most impossible to keep track of the quota
tions. The brokers were all amazed at the
character of the Government crop report, it
being the most unfavorable, taking all the
crops together, ever 'issued, and the shorts
in the different options rushed to cover with
out regard to price.
In the Stock Exchange the holders of
stock were staggered at the estimates ot the
crops. The idea prevails that such a fall
ing off in tbe yield will have a disistrou-i
effect on tbe net earnings of the railroads,
and heavy selling of the grangers and trunk
lines characterized the early trading.
The crop report was soon lost sight of,
however, in the alarm caused by several of
the most conservative houses calling in
their loans on stock collateral. The rate
for call loans at once advanced to a premium
of per cent in addition to the legal inter
est, and on some of the fancy stocks no
loans could he obtained at any figure. This
forced renewed attempts to liquidate, and a
decline followed. Everything on the list
suffered losses ranging from 1 to 6 per
cent, and for a time the market was de
moralized. The heavy offers of Government bonds for
the prepayment of interest then gave a fresh
snpply of money, and to some extent re
stored confidence, and in the better class of
stocks most of the decline was recovered.
The i per cent bonds on which interest was
prepaid at the sub-Treasury, amounted to
,$2500,000, one block of $10,000,000, and an-
otner oi (,uuu,uuu being presented by sav
ings banks. The interest paid on this ac
count in the last two days amounts to about
$12,000,000. None of the Vanderbilt bonds,
amounting to about one-eighth of the entire
issue, have yet been presented.

ISPBCtAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCO.1
"Wheeling, September 1L In the
United States Circuit Court to-day Judge
Jackson delivered a very interesting and
important decision in the cases of Arkel vs
the Wheeling Telephone Company, growing
out of a change insisted upon by the com
pany a year ago, whereby subscribers were
compelled to ask ior numbers instead of
names, Arkel refused to call for numbers,
and brought ten suits for damages.
The Conrt held that the company had a
right to determine the manner and modes
of making the connections with the sub
scribers, and tharthere was nothing in the
contract to prevent them from changing from
time to time the manner in which their con
'nections were to be made, upon notice being
given. The interpretation of the contract
operated to nonsuit the plaintiff in these
cases, and they were dismissed, and an in
junction was made:tperpetual restraining
the plaintiff from bringing any more suits.

SPECIAL TELEOBAit TO TUX DISPATCn.1
Philadelphia, September 11. Cap
tain Wishart, of the British steamship To
ledo, arrived to-day from Girenti, with
3,300 tons of sulphur, passed an ice
berg September 4, in. latitude 86 40',
longitude 42 18', which is 480 miles
further south than ice was ever before
known to drift, and when' the captain made
this report to the Hydrophic Office, the
officers in charge doubted it very much, but
investigation found that the berg, which
was 100 feet long and 6 feet high, was
really passed in that position.
Captain Wishart said he actually doubted
tbat ice existed so lar soutn, Dut be assured
himself of its correctness by sailing within
30 feet of the formation. How it came
through the Gulf Stream against the cur
rent seems to be a mystery that cannot be
explained.
EXCITING CIGAB STRIKE.

Binghamton, September 11. Great ex

cigarmakers here this morning by a renewal
of the attempt on the part of the manufact
urers to crush the strikers by a wholesale ar
rest oi pickets. Many warrants have already
been issued. A heavy bail is demanded in

The object of the arrests is apparently an
attempt to exhaust the resources of the

tbe more prominent strikers in jail to
frighten the others into returning to the
shops.

TWO PISTOL SHOTS SETTLE IT ALL
rSrXCIAL TZLEGRAH TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, September 11. Jealousy,
murder and suicide. That is the story, in
short, of the happenings in Stanton street
to-night Three .weeks ago a German
woman, about 25 years old, hired a famished
room of Mrs. Hamburg, who lives on the
second floor of 44 Stanton street. Theyoung
woman said she was not married, bnt that
she had a sweetheart who might call to sets
her. He was a clerk, she said, in a grocery
store in Brooklyn. Her name, she said,
was Carrie Lenz.
No one called until last night. She had
just come home from her work when, at
7:30,' a boy came to her room with a mes
sage. "A man at the door wants to see you," be
said. She followed the boy to the street
door 'and met there on the sidewalk a man
dressed in a snit of tweeds.' Andrew
S. Biswanger, of No. 1314 First
avenue, saw her there and overheard
part of the conversation which .took place
between her and the man in tweeds. Be is
a friend of Oscar Hamburg, Mrs. Hamburg's
son, and he knew the woman by sight. The
man in tweeds was urging theyoung woman
to go back and live with him. It was a long
talk and the man !?ot greatly excited. 'Fi
nally the yung woman left him and went
down Stanton street to a grocery store. The
man in tweeds turned to Biswanger and con-
nded part of the story to him.
MABRIED IN PITTSBUBG.
The young woman, he said, was his wife.
He married her five years ago in Pittsburg,
and afterward moved to Brooklyn, where
he lives now. They had a child 3 or' 4
years old. A while ago, he said, they had
quarreled, and he had left her. Then he
went back and they got along pretty well'
until three weeks ago. He accused .her
then of being unfaithful to him. "While he
was talking the woman returned to tbe
doorway.
"I want yon to come back to Brooklyn
with me," the man cried, turning toward
her.
'.'If I do," she answered, "I will take an
officer with me."
"You will, will yon? "Well, I don't care
for vour officer, and I will show you that I
don't," he retorted.
"With a quick motion he drew a revolver
from his pocket and fired. The woman fell
on tbe sidewalk, shot 'through the lungs.
The man pointed the pistol at Biswanger,
but changed his mind, and, clapping it to
his 'own head, fired and ' fell beside the
woman dead. The shots brought Police
man Joseph F. Hunter. There was bloody
froth on tbe lips of the woman, and she was
still breathing. An ambulance took her
to Governenr Hospital. The policeman
bore the corpse of her assailant
to the station house. The young woman
recovered conscionsness for a time in tbe
hospital and then relapsed into a comatose
condition, which the doctors think will end
only in death. Dr. Curran said she would
probably died before morning.
HEK MIND WANDEBINO.
Her mind began to wander and when they
asked her who shot her she would not tell.
"I'm not shot," she said. "All he did was
to give me a drink." It was then that she
became unconscious again. The man ap
peared to be about 36 years old.
He was 5 -feet 7 'inches tall, fair, and
had light hair and blonde moustache. The
tips of three fingers on his left band are
missing. In his pockets the police found
two handkerchiefs, a hair brush, a bunch of
keys on a chain and $1 31 in money. There
were also four pawn tickets there. One
was for a ring pawned on August 2, an
other lor a coat, pawned on July 29, and the
third ior a coat, pawned on July 29, and tbe
fonrth for a watch pawned on August 21.
The first two were made out in the name
of Rosenblatt, and tbe last to Bosenbaum.
Tbe only person in the neighborhood remem
bering bavin? seen the man before the shoot
ing is a Mr. Bankauf, who keeps the Odd
Fellows' Assembly rooms. The man was in
thereabout 5 o'clock asking for oneSchoen
benr. who belongs to a clnb that meets in
Bankant's. He was in an excited condi
tion then. He said Schoenberg wanted" to
go into business with him.

THE CASE PENDING,
ALDERMAN WARNER TAKES TIME ON THE
WORMSER CASE.
Two Alleged Members of the Firm Declare
Tbat Tbey Have No Interest in It and
Are Tberelora Not Liable to Pennltr.
Joseph and Ephraim Wormser, against
whom, as supposed partners in the
firm of the "Wormser Company, informa
tions were made last week by Factory In
spector M. N. Baker for violations of the
factory act, had a hearing last night before
Alderman Warner. A third defendant, Isaac
Wormser, was hot present. The alderman re
served his decision in tbe case. Attor
ney A. Israel appears for the defense, and
Attorney J. F. MilliEen for the prosecution.
The piosecutor, Inspector Baker, testified
that he visited the Wormser factory on May 27.
Before leaving the factory he left copies of the
act covering tbe alleged violation, and warned
the firm to comply with the
law. He said they were violating it.
His next visit to the factory was on Septem
ber 2. He found at that time 54 persons em
ployed there. 25 of whom were children. Four
of these children stated that they were under
12 years of age, two of them being a little over
10 years each and the other two 11 years of ace.
He asked to see tho record book and list book
of the children employed, but neither were
shown him. He f onnd that IS of the children
' employed had no affidavits as to their age.
A reporter who accompanied Inspector Baker
on the latter's visit on September 2 corrobo
rated this statement. Tbis closed the case for
the prosecution.
Attorney Israel then stated that the nrosecu
tion had given no evidence as to who are or
who is the owner of the works. He then
placed Joseph and Eonraim Wormser on the
stand. They testified that they were in no
wise connected with the firm other than as em

Fair weather prevailed in Florida and the
Southwest. Elsewhere tbe weather was dis
agreeable. Light rain3 fell In the South At

Tennessee and Ohio Valleys, and heavy rains.in
tbe lower lake regions and Indiana. At Albany
in 4S hours 3.23 inches of rain fell and
4.60 at Indianapolis, and in the past 21
hours between 2 and 3 inches at all
places bordering tbe lakes, the rain being
especially heavy in tbis State. The first snow
of tbe season was falling In the northern part
of Montana, extending into tho British
possessions.
A storm of considerable energy was central
oyer the Dakotas, and moving eastward,
attended by high wind3 in all the Northwest
States. It was preceded by warmer
weather in the Missouri and Mississippi
Valleys, and followed in Montana by
temperatures below freezing. The cold
wave will follow the storm, and to-day
frost may be expected in all tbe Northwest
States, possibly reaching as f ar sonth as Kan
sas. There was a general fog with brisk to high
northwest winds along the middle Atlantic and
northeast coasts.
The temperature has fallen very decidedly in
tbe extreme Northwest, and the effects ot
the cold wave will be felt in Western Minne
