At rittsbnrtr 12 At Cleveland 4M AtChlrajto 913 At Cincinnati 1.813 Total 3,410 There was another very ragged ball game played at Exposition Park yesterday, and the home players, of course, lost it. The victors were John Ward's "Brooklyn 'Won ders," and they had a very pleasant aud easy time of it, indeed. Players League patrons to the extent of 921 persons paid to see the game and they'saw some lively hit ting by the Brooklyns and were favored with very fine weather. The home representatives were never in it from the first, and they lost not so much be cause of any brilliant work on the part of the visitors, but chiefly because of their own inability to play anytuins like respectable ball. Their work of yesterday was, indeed, below our famous losers in vcry'many respects. It is needless to say that there was no enthusi asm in the came, and tlio spectators were quite pleased wlien the alTair ended. The homo pi-ncrs may able to do better, but their wnfk was w fetched. lo tell about the game m detail would be as wanonie to listen to as it would bs to relate. U intre-t in it anishpil 1" tile second inning, when the visitors riled up five big rnns. These were made t four bitb. inclu.liui: a tlirec- tiaRger In Andrew", a shaky hnme run by Vanllaltren.tlie ball zoing between Hanionand Visner, a tumble by Corcoran and a passed ball. The balance of the visitors runs were made by single bits and errors by lleckley. Robinson aud Corcoran. Maul pitched a very poor gt:ne, indeed. Hemming was no terror. Cut the Louie players could not bit his delivery effectively. He was wild at tunes, but his sup port was tolerably good.

Ward, just as genial as ever, arrived in tbe city jesterday with his Brooklyn team. Last evening Mr. Ward sent a telegram of congratulation to Mauager Kelly, of the Boston P. L. team for winning tbe pennant. The Brooklyn manacer said: "To-day's victory gives the Bostons tbe pennant sure and they de serve It. Tbcy have worked Tor it." During a conversation on baseball affairs generally Mr. Ward said: "I cannot say what tii future will briup forth, but I can sav that The Dispatch Is arguing In tbe right direc I tion. There must be two major orgauitations. J nd these two must beat peace with each other. Two organizations will always sustain the liveliest interest in the cimo and will lie better for the public and for tbe players. Of course the Players' League cannot keep players that don't fill tbe bilL It is not an asylum for .in ferior or superannated ball players. Wo will release those who are not good enough." Regarding tbe recent rumors from Louisville and other places Mr. Ward said: 'Tlisre is no truth whatever in the Louisville story. Tbe Association has made overtures. to us which were not acceptable. The Cincinnati deal is oil because Mr. Stem wanted too much money for Ins team. He asked 49,000 for it and we don't think it worth that amount. All I can sav about tbe future istbat tbe Players' League will be in existence next year with eight clubs and wo mean to be to the front." NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES. The Pilttburca Poll Them.elvea Together nnd Win n. Flmt-Clnai Game Affalnst Boiion Blllr Gumbert Wai tbe Olaln Cnme of It Other Scores. There was a general rattling of dry bone3 to be heard at Rerreatlon Pare yesterday and tbe local players seemed to have again arisen from their graves and played ball. Only one of the players seemed yet asleep and that was Sales. Perhaps it would have been better if he had been left to sleep away the hours in sepulchral borne while Sammy LaRoque might have played both positions as well if not better. Bnt the game was won and therefore there's no room to raise a dismal howl on this score. All around the boys played better ball than was their wont. George Miller was the batting freak, gettit g four hits out of five times at bat. He also stole four bases. Tbe Bostons played a good game except that they failed to find Mr. Gumbort, the young pitcher, who though erratic would In time be come a first-class addition to any team. He shonld be with the team all the time when his worth could soon be learned. Clarkson was wild and gave Burke a base on balls at the very outset. Miller singled and drove Burke to second. Miller stole second and Burke scored on the play, LaRoque sacri ficed Miller to third and be scored on Berber's bit. Wilson opened tbe second with a two baser. ent to third on -Hecker's sacrifice and scored on Gumbert's grounder to short. The latter stole second and scored on Miller's single. In tbe third Decker and Sales got a base on balls. A passed ball gave Decker third aud be scored on Hecker's sacrifice. The local men finished their rnn getting in tbe fourth. Burke singieu. stole second ana scorea on aimers base hit. After that Clarkson settled down ana only one bit was made offliim; Boston did not score until the third. After Smith struck out Clarkson singled and Lowe did likewise. Sales juggled Tucker's grounder filling the bases. A base on ball crowded in one man and another was sacrificed in. No more hits were made off Gumbert until tbe ninth when another run was scored by tbe visitors. Ilines singled, got second on Sales' error, stole third and scored on Smith's base bit.

New York, September 24.-The following special cable dispatch from London was re ceived at the I'olice Gazette office to-day: The arrangements for the international fight betweedJoe McAuliffe and Frank P. Slavin for 1,000, the Police Gazette championship belt, and the championship of the world will take place within two weeks. Crichton Temple, who looked for police Interference did not want the men to battle for the pnrse, but Lord Erie Gordon, Lord Lons dale ana Richard K. Fox insisted that tbe purse should bo offered, and also that should the police interfere when the men are in the ring, Slavin ana McAuliffe shall each receive 350. Temple opposed this proposition and said: "It was useless to think of it. Richard K. Fox insisted that tbe amount mentioned should be paid. A long dis cussion followed, and finally Temple agreed to the Americans' proposition. It is understood that the gloves made in America will be slightly increased in size and that the pugilists will fight 15 instead of SO rounds. It is the gen eral opinion that tbe battle will not last that long and sbould it not be decided at tbe end of 15 rounds the referees, George Vize, and B. J. Angle, will probably order additional rounds. McAuliife and Madden are back at Barnes' cottage at Wells-in-tbe-Sea, while Slavin, Jack Lewis Joe Start and Billy McCarthy have re sumed training at Dover Court, Hartvick. All bets on tbe fight are declared void, as there lias been police Interference with the fight, and the conditions that governed the original match bave been cnangeo. II ijoru A,onsaaie, Richard K. Fox and Lord Eric Gordon could not have made Temple come to satisfactory terms they would have put up an amount equal to that suggested in tbe Ormonde Club, and have used their influence to bring the contest off in the Pelican Club. Slavin is now sorry he refused to fight in the Pelican Club since he discovered the cupidity and curious schem mg of Temple. Betting on the fight commenced at Tatter sail's to-day, and McAuliffe was the favorite. His fine condition and splendid physique were greatly admired at the Lambeth Police Court. At the Canterbury, Empire and Albambra Music Halls last night tbe Slavin and Mc Auliffe fight was the topic, and the Metropolis is all worked up over tho affair. Will Fight on Sr.turdnT. fBY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPACT. London, September 24.

Frightened by' fiepeated Earthquake Shocks Thousands of People DESERT THE CITY OF GRANADA. Every House in a Town of 15,000 Inhabi tants More or Less Shattered. THE 'FATE OF POMPEII NOW FEARED. rSPECIAL TELXOEAM TO TOE niEFATCH.I New roRKjSeptember 24. A correspond ent at Granada, Nicaraugua, writes as fol lows concerning tbe recent remarkable earthquakes in that locality: There have been ominous warnings of con vulsions of nature going on under the surface of a portion of this fair country during the past several days, which has dnven tbe people of Granada from their homes, this locality being tbe one in which the earthquakes, beginning their rumblings on Snnday. have since resulted in the injury of nearly every house of the city of 15,000 souls to a greater or less extent. Granada is built at the base of tho great vol din o, Mombacho which has been considered as extinct for cen turies, no eruption having taken place in it since the discovery of the country. But there is now a dally dread lest the long-closed crater should open and bury the town in lava and ashes. Tbe first evidence of the earthquake disturbance which has been going on beneath Granada was given on Sunday, when one of tbe fairest days of the year was broken in upon by a trembling of tbe earth and an ominous rumbling noise, as of distant tbunder proceed ing from the volcano. Several spells of trem bling were then felt, but not any of them suffi cient to do harm to dwellings, although it created a panic among the inhabitants. SHOCKS WIDELY FELT. A heavy shock came on Monday morning that caused great injury to nearly every house of tho city, aud was felt at Managna, Rivas, Masaya and the towns 60 and 70 miles distant from tbe volcono Mombacho. Other shocks equally as heavy followed, though no damage has been done outside of this city, where there is hardly a house with walls nncracked or with tile room uninjured and partly thrown into the streets. Arriving in the city in the midst of the panic, your correspondent found tbat everyone was making desperate efforts to leave the city those who had not been able to get away by railroad, carriage, or cart, or on foot to neigh boring towns or haciendas. A common sight is to see whole families, headed by father or brothers, carrying bundles of bedding aud tbe most necessary of household goods, every mem ber bearing a part of tho burden. Those who have been unable to get away bave passed the nights slecplessly and fearfully on cots placed at doorways, in tbe streets or public plazas, where groups of campers are huddled together away from tbe danger of falling walls. The vibra tions of tbe earthquake have been from north oast to southwest and those of the heaviest kind have numbered half a dozen, though tbe minor tremblings have been Innumerable. While tbe one-story bouses of adobe, a mud brick made with straw after the fashion of tbe ancient Egyptians, bave been cracked from ceiling to floor, it is a fact that tbe firm masonry structures bave also beon injnred. Of this latter style there are many examples in both bridges, churches and a few dwellings. The adobe brick, tbe popular building material of Central American towns, has but little adhesive power and the shakings of tbe earth quake readily causes it to crack though the walls are built thick and have a massive ap pearance. TEN THOUSAND FUGITIVES. Dp to the present time 10.000 persons have left the city by the railroad trains alone, the Government rnnnlng the trains out of town as rapidly as the facilities will permit. In addf tion to that number 2,000 bave gone by other means.seekingrefugelnneighboringhaciendas, the railroad facilities having been Insufficient for the task of effecting an exodus. The depot has been, and is even now, crowded with men, women and children, tho aged and infirm, the invalid from a bed of sickness, with bundles of bedding and most necessary clothes, urged forth by tbe wildest fears.imany anxious to get even room to bold on to the train to be taken from the place. On all bands the most pitifnl sights are seen of those whose houses bave been partly de stroyed, and as tbe quivering of the earth is again felt and that ominous, distant rumbling from the volcano is heard, tbe weak and help less cast anxious glances toward the craters crest to detect any beginning of the greater calamity tbey fear. The population of tbe citv has now been reduced, it is estimated, to 3,000 the remains of a city of 15,000 population four days:ago. Although the calamity has been great enough, and caused a great panic, there bave been no cases of falling walls nor any deaths consequent upon the earthquake shocks. Tbe Government has done all In Its power to keep order and prevent the plunder ing of the deserted bouses. Two hundred soldiers have been sent here from Manaqua, and when any one is caugnt in tno act ot steal ing justice is promptly administered in the form of a flogging, there and then. Mr. Villiam Newell, tbe newly-appointed American Consul, was bere to-day looking after the interests ot several American yonng ladies. Misses Frances A. and D. F. Caldwell, and Miss B. C. Graves, who are teachers in the college for young ladies here. There has been no se vere shock for nearly 30 honrs, and confidence is being restored to an extent sufficient to per mit the refugees to return for some of their valuables left in the hurried flight. DANGER FROM AN ERUPTION. Mombacho, tbe volcano, which Is looked upon as tbe center ot the upheaval, is about 3,000 feet high, and Granada is located at Its base, a part of tbe town being built on the lower portion of the slope and less than 15 miles from tbe crater. There are evidences of a terrible eruption in the past,wben tbe greater qnautity of tbe lava coursed down the vol cano's slope to the contcrof Lake Nicaraugua. from the shores ot which the peak rises. There are numberless little islands a short way from shore formed by the flow of lava. s Should thero be an eruption Granada would be doomed, even sbould tbe lava take a direction away from it, as tbe fall in ashes would be sufficient to make the town uninhabitable. At present there is no active volcano in Nicaraugua and but one in Central America, tbat being in Sal vador. Three years ago Ometepe, near the cen ter of Lake Nicaraugua, ended in active state, and tbe last of the eruptions of Mornotombo, on the border' of Lake Manaqua and near the capital, was seen less tban two years ago in the form of a thin column of smoke rising from Its crater. Since then tbere has beenintbis coun try no volcanic eruption and no prominent earthquake. Your cosrespondent left Granada to-day, taking tbe steamer across tbe lake and as a full view of Monotombo was had from the ship, several great landslides near, the too of the peak were noticed giving evidence of the com motion which bad taken place there. Newly opened crevices were claimed to be seen by some, but this was not established. Tbe in formation regarding the landslides which could not be seen from Granada was tele graphed to the city and will doubtless prolong the exile of the inhabitants, even should no more shocks be felt for several weoks. SEBI0TS SUNDAY (XTTTmo. Two Men Under Arrett In Allegheny for Stnbhlng Otto Illume. Last Sunday Otto Blume and his wife, who reside at 261 Saw Mill alley, together with Clara Sihert and several other neighbors, went to Hammer's Grove, on Troy Hill, for an outing.

Physicians Trsllfy EegnrdlnE the Condition of BenvrrlP Body When Found In tbe Swnmp--Tho Sexton Tells of an Attempt to Stenl tie Remains. Woodstock, Ont., September 24. In continuation of the Bircball trial this morn ing Dr. Taylor, the physician who was called in to see Benwell's body when it was fonnd in the swamp, was the first witness. He testified that the clothing was frozen to the gronnd. In view of tbe attempt which the defense is expected to make to prove that tbe body did not lie in the swamD during the storm of February 17, the day when Ben well was killed. Dr. Taylor was minutely examined as to tbe condition of the body. He said he believed that when fonnd it had lain less than seven days in tbe swamp possibly Jour. The testimony of Dr. Well ford as to the condition of the body when ionnd was also adduced. There were two or three important points in the cross-examination in favor of the prisoner. One was that while the rigor mortis set in a few honrs after death, being complete in abont four hours, it passed away again six or eight honrs later. An other was that the appearance of the shirt did not indicate that tbe body had been out in a rainstorm all night. Still another point was the doctor's decided opinion, formed at the time he saw the body, not that it had fallen in the position in which it was found and then frozen stiff, but that it had been thrown or placed in that position. John A. Orchard, a resident of Niagara Falls, and Henry Thompson, assessor there, at the afternoon sessiou swore they bad never known auy man named BirchallorSnmerset having property or doing farming at or about Niagara Falls. Pelley, Birchall's companion on the At lantic voyage, was recalled and prodnced his revolver, to which reference had been made at a previous part of the proceedings, and stated that it was larger tban Birchall's. He also recognized as Birchall's several letters, which were put in evidence, relat ing to the negotiations carried on by the prisoner to induce himself (Pelley)and Ben well to come to Canada. Mr. Grigg, the Princeton sexton, was called at tbe instance of the defense, and was questioned as to an incident which Grigg bad spoken to some parties about, namely, an attempt, as he suspected, to open the grave and steal Benwell's body. At 10 o'clock 'on the Wednesday night following tbe discovery of the body he heard a rig drive up and turn toward the cemetery gate and clattering over a small wooden bridge, which he himself bad built across a ditch at the side of tbe road. It was a most unusual thing for a visit to the cemetery to be made at such a time, and he raised a window blind to look out. The persons in the rig pnt whip to the horse and drove rapidly away. He was un able to identify them or to give any clew. Fred J. Pierce, a teller in the bank at Niagara Falls, N. Y., related how Birchall came into the bank on February 24. He said he was an agent of the British Govern ment for buying horses in Canada, and as he might have some business in tbe United States, he thought he might as well ha7e some money there. He deposited $152 in cluding eleven English sovereigns. This point the crown makes fit in with the state ment of Pelley that Benwell, the murdered men, bad a handful of sovereigns with him. A STRANGE STORY. AN AMERICAN CITIZEN ROBBED OF ALL AT MANILLA. He Appealed to the Spanish and American Governments Now He lias Disnp pcniccl, nnd is Believed to Hnve Been Murdered. rBFECtAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISPATCH.! NettYokk, September 24. Thomas T. Collins, an American citizen, who, if report is true, has been a prisoner in Manilla, on the Phillipine islands for 16 years, is miss ing, and his lawyer in this city believes that he has been murdered. Collins is 55 years old. He was born in New York and went to the Manilla islands in 1871. His story of bis treatment is taken from an affidavit which was forwarded to the Government authorities in 1880. He testified that in the year 1847 he started business in the port of Loog, on the island of Tablas, on a plant bought from W. Morton Clark, ot Philadelphia, consisting of 25,000 cubic feet of hard timber, cut and squared for a foreign market with all tbe appliances for removing it, consisting of buffaloes for hauling, boats, many canoes, blocks, winches, ropes and other apparatus. In October ot the same year he went to Manilla to charter a vessel for a cargo of timber for Hong Kong. On his return to Loog he found that during his absence in Manilla a part of bis timber had been taken possession of without bis consent and shipped on board the Spanish bark Teresa by Dr. Joaquin Barcelo, master of the bark, who was then on his way to Hong Kong; that his buffaloes and other belongings of the plant were in the possession of Barcelo's agents and that all the workmen iu his employ bad left him, and were work ing for Barcelo, who had apparently taken possession of the business. The result of Collins' efforts to obtain justice was that hs was refused passports, and conld not get off the island. Finally the case leaked out and Collins' friends in New York engaged Lawyer W. H. Leonard. Leonard wrote to Collins and subsequently began snit against the Span ish Government for (100,000 at tbe same time requesting the aid of the State Department at "Washington. Leon ard said since the suit had been pressed Collins had been subjected to great indignity, and that last summer he received a letter from Collins saying tbat his house had been burned, and his wife (a native) and bis children were without shelter. He sent Collins' letter to Secretary Blaine with a request that action be taken, and has not yet had a replv from "Washington. The last heard of Collins, he said was tbe letter. On Monday news was received tbat Collins bad disappeared and has probably been mur dered in order to prevent him from testify ing in bis suit. AN EMBARRASSED IRON MAN. Says He Will Mnke n SmicmertTo-morrow, Bnt Does Net Owe Much. It was reported last night tbat Mr. Charles J. Schultz, proprietor of the Iron City Bridge works at Cbartiers, was in financial straits, and that a judgment for 200,000 had been entered np against bim by Oliver Bros.
