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. The score.

A TALK WITH JOHN WARD.
The Brooklyn illnnnce- Point. Ont a Few
ei lb"e Ba.cbaH Kentme..
Manager J. M. 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."

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. Attendance, 184. Score:

Dick Turpln and Shake- Win (he Two Races
In Presence of 2,300 People.
isrxciAL ratio bam to the dispatch, i
Beaveb, September 24. Bright skies and
bracing breezes brought out a multitude of
people to the fair to-day. and this afternoon
fully 2.500 people were upon the grounds. To
morrow, whichis always regarded as the banner
day, 6,000 people are expected. A large addi
tion has been made to tbe farm produce on ex
hibition yesterday, and the display of agri
cultural implements is larger. Floral Hall is
hardly up to Its old time record.
Great interest centered in to-day's races,
which were a three-minute trot, a 2:30 pace and
a running race between man and horse. The
first was for S150, four purses (75. $30, S24 and

HATJLIITE THE FAV0BITE.
Betllne on iho Big Fight Begun Prelim
inary Arrangements Blade.
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.

FLEEING IN TERROK.
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.

IN BIRCHALL'S FAVOR.
POINTS BROUGHT OUT DURING CROSS
EXAMINATION. 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.

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.
