There was any amount of excitement
among the 728 people who paid to see yes
terday's ball game between the home and
Brooklyn P. L. teams at Exposition Park.
The playing of course was not up to the
mark, but that shortcoming was counter
balanced by the closeness of the contest.
The score was tied twice, and the result was
in donbt until the last inning. Nowadays
the scientiSc features of ball playing are not
looked for very much, and a close argument
to the end seems to fill tbe bill as mnch as any
thing else. Tbe contest in question was one of
tbe close kind, indeed, and kept onlookers on
pins and needles until the last man was out.
The home team scored a victory, and tbey
scored it by playinc better than the visitors.
Staley bad almost everything to do with tbe
victory because he pitched in excellent form,
and "Ward's wonders" could do little with him.
Orr and McGeacby were the only two who cot a
solid crack at his delivery. Only two runs on
each side vere earned, and that means that
there was some ery rocky plajing on both
sides. In the fourth inning Carroll made a
home run into center field after Beckley bad
secured bis base on balls. Carroll's was an
earned run. The other run ot merit n as in tbe
last inninc At that stage tbe score was tied,
and Fields acd Visner had both struck ont.
Beckley made a sinirlc tn ccutvr, and Carroll
followed with a lively single to left. JleGcby
fumbled the ball, and mule a wild throw past
tbe plate, allowing the tvo men to score amid
cheers. Hanlon followed with a safe hit, which
earned Bpckley's run. Errors were responsible
for the other tallies.
For tbe visitors, in tbe fourth inning, Orr led
oft with a triple to right, and McGeacby fol
lowed with a boiner past Hanlon, earning the
two runs. Krrors by Hanlon, Fields and Rob
inson were responsible for tbe other two runs.

THEEE THAT MUST GO.
TUorrip, Kuebre nod Koblnson Sot Wanted
Hcic for Scxt Yenr.
It is now definitely understood that among
the plaj ers that are not wanted In the local
Play ers' League team for next year are Morn?,
Kueline and Robinson. Manager Hanlon has
been qucted as saying that he had given them
20 da s' notice. Ho denies this, however. He
states that they have each a contract for this
year and that he could not give them notice at
present. They are on tbe list to go, however.
As to the other players who are to be dis
pensed with. Manager Hanlon declines to say
anything definite. Carroll will remain in tbe
club, and there i a desire to retain Visner. Re
garding tbe pla ers that will be secured to fill
the vacancies Manager Hanlon said: "I have
some good men on my list, and probably some
of them are now in the Players' League. Others
are not in that league. 1 cannot say anything
definite nn tbe matter at present because none
of the men are engaged. I will get good men,
however."
About ihc Horn. Club.
The local P. L. team and Ward's wonders will
entertain the Altoona citizens to-day with a
ball game, weather permitting. The contest
will, no doubt, be an interesting one. Tener
and Hurley will be the Pittsburg battery, and
Van Haltreu and Daly will likely officiate for
Brooklyn.
The local K. L. team will have its last argu
ment with Boston at itecreation Park to-day,
ami iudging from the last two games their to
day's contest will probably be a good one. Each
club bas won a game in the series, and the
home players are in good form. The Phillies
come to Kccreatiou Park to-dorrow, and
Anderson promises to catch Hamilton napping
at first, a feat that bas only been oncp clone
this season. Burke also states he will beat
Sunday's record at bat and m the field during
the series.

PitliburffLo.es a tinmn to Boston, Proba
bly Tbroueh nn Umpire's mistake A
Closo nnd IiitereiUoe Contest at Recrea
tion Pnrk Yesterday Afternoon.
A very bad mistake by Umpire McQuade
spoiled a chance for a local If. L. team to win
the second game from tbe Bostons yesterday
afternoon. It was in the ninth, when Wilson
was on second base and two men were out.
Burke hit for a two-baser along the right foul
line and the score was tied. Tbe hit was about
two feet safe, but the umpire was in a position
to see it foul, and so it went, and the game was
lost. Several of tbe Boston men said after the
game that the bit was safe beyond i doubt, but
they did not have any reason to complain.
The contest was close and exciting all
through, and was never won until the last man
dropped bis bat in the ninth. Only one error
marred the local men's work, and that was
from a most unexpected source, Burke doing
the act, This had nothing to do with the re
sult, however, and it was clearly the bases on
balls sent out by Mr. Smith that caused the
disaster. In the sixth inning he sent three
men to bases on balls, but only one of them
scored. The Bostons nut up a stronger game
and batted better than on the previous day.
The game was kept close from start to finish.
J either team scored until the fifth, when each
got in a run. Boston had the first advantage,
scoring an earned run. Kichols opened with a
two-bacger and was driven borne on Lowe s
single. The local men retaliated in kind their
time at bat, also scoring an earned rnn. Smith
singled and Burke's corking two-baser sent
him over the plate.
The sixth also produced a run each. For
Boston Smith got first on balls, second on a
Eassed ball and scored on Lowe's single. Pitts
urg followed out by La Roque getting a two
bagger, stealing third, and Sales' single scoied
him.
Boston continued in tbe seventh, but the
local men shut up shop. Sullivan got a base on
balls and stole second. Brodie's single scored
him. Brodie in turn scored on Hardle's two
bagger. This ended Boston's fun and the
Pittsburgs did nothing until the ninth, when
Sales singled, got second on a wild pitch and
scored on Wilson's single. Attendance, 210.

the local P. L. Club, are willing to play a series
of games with tbe local X. L. team when the
championsblp season is done. A large number
of patrons of tbe game would like to see tbe

could be brought about doubtless it would be
a very profitable undertaking.

second day of the Stoneboro Fair. The weather
was beautiful, and the attendance was simply
immense, over 10,000 tickets having been taken
in at tbe gates before noon. The exhibits this
year are greater in number and better in qual
ity than heretofore, and tbe exhibition ot live
stock is very good. Some of the finest stock
known is here, including the very best 01 draft
and trotting horses. The entries for the races
to-morrow are large, and there is some great
sport anticipated.
The pacing race between Arctic and Craw
ford is attracting great attention, and there has
been some big money wagered on the result,
with Craw ford ruling as the favorite. In every
respect the fair is the superior of any ever held
by the society.

CLEVER LAWYER BLACKSTOCK
Catches Up a Witness Who Could
Far With Weak Ejes.
Bee
STOKIES THAT GO AGALNST BIKCHALL
"Woodstock, Ont., September 23. To
day, at the Birchall trial, when counsel for
the Crown Osier read letters purporting to
be from Birchall to Mellerish, through
whom the prisoner and Benwell were brought
together, blushes suffused the checks of
Birchall when it was shown that he had
practiced deceit on Benwell and his father.
Conductor Poole, on whose train, it is
said, Birchall and the rest went to Niagara
Falls, was examined. He had spoken of a
guncase, with a check attached, being
handed out of the train, but he stated to-day
that he had no recollection of a check. He
admitted that be had spoken in former evi
dence of an overcoat and not a waterproof,
us he had called it to-day. Mr. Blackstock
read from the evidence of Poole at the in
vestigation that thelight-complexionedmac
had a full suit of a light color. Benwell's
trousers were striped and his coat and vest
brown check.
EIGID EXAMINATIONS.
Mr. Blackstock rigidly examined witness
as to the boots, which one of these passengers
wore and ol which he spoke oi as being of
English make and Poole admitted that he
bad not said anything about boots either
time when he was previously examined.
Miss Lockhart, of "Woodstock, said she
was traveling west February 17, from Pari 8
past "Woodstock. She saw two passengers
get off at Eastwood. On seeing Birchall
afterward in jail she identified him as one
who had sat before her iu the train. The other
she recognized in the body of Benwell when
exhumed. Cross-examined by Mr. Black
stock she acknowledged that, though reading
theaccount of the finding ot the body, she
had not for some time connected the inci
dent with the tragedy. Something said in
Mr. Birchall's evidence first brought the
connection to her mind. On a previous
occasion she had stated that she had taken
notice of the passengers, but her evidence of
to-day, as Air. Blackstock showed, did not
agree with this.
MISS LOCKHABT'S STORY.
The taller passenger, she says, was
dressed in a black overcoat and cap. On
the 17th of March she saw Detective Murray,
wbo heard her statements, and told her it
would be necessary for her to go the same
day to Princeton. She there saw Benwell's
body in the cemetery aud at once recog
nized it.
Mr. Blackstock cave her a copy of a
paper of February 28, which she bad said
contained evidence upon which she had
identified the young men seen by
him at Eastwood with the two she bad seen
on tbe train and whom she recognized, one
in his coffin as Benwell, and one in the jail
as Birchall. He showed that tbe evidence
mentioned was not in the paper, and had not
been published till some time later.
Elizabeth Choate, living nearlngersoll,
was traveling from Brantford home on Feb
ruary 17.
ANOTHER LADY WITNESS.
"I sat two or three seats behind two men.
One wore an Astrakhan cap. I saw his lace
oulv for a moment, as his cap fell. His face
was rather thinner than the prisoner's. The
other man I believe, as far as I noticed from
behind, wore glasses while reading a paper.
The man believed to be Birchall answered
some remark of his companion with 'Get
accustomed to.' I did not bear the rest. I
remained in Ingersoll a month."
Alfred Hayward, an old miller, living at
Eastwood, saw, February 17, two men pass
ing by his home between 11 and 12 o'clock,
as though coming from the train along the
road from south to north. Tbe prisoner was
one of them and was a little ahead of his
companion. He wore a short coat. The
man behind be thought was an Englishman
by his coat. On Hayward's previous exam
ination he would not swear to the identity oi
the prisoner as one ot these men. He
merely stated be went indoors and told his
wife two old country gentlemen were walk
ing down to Mr. Pattison's.
CORNERED BY BLACKSTOCK.
Mr. Blackstock pointed to the gallery,
and asked tbe witness if he could see a man
there amone the ladles. "Yes," witness
said. "I can't tell wbo he is."
"Yet," said Mr. Blackstock, "you pro
fess to recognize tbe prisoner as a gentle
man who passed at 120 yards distance.'
Tfte Niagara ifalls fttrand Trunk ticket
agent swore to having sold two tickets to
Eastwood on February 17 last, and none
since. John Crosby, of Princeton, iestified
he saw Birchall on Governor's road on
February 17 John Perry, a farmer, swore
he saw tracks of two men in the snow from
Governor's road across his lot, on February
17, to the swamp where Benwell was found
dead. George MacDonald stated that he was
hunting in Blenheim swamp February 17
and heard two shots of a pistol or a small
rifle. Charles Buck swore that he had met
Birchall on February 17, returning as from
the swamp of death with his pants rolled up,
and his boots very dirty.
SENSATION IN COURT.
A sensation was manifested in court when
the crier called Miss Alice Smith. This
witness bas appeared previously, both at
the investigation and of the inquest, and her
clear and positive statements, together with
her exceptionally beautiful lace, have
thrown about ber an interest second only
tn that which attaches to the prisoner anil
his wire.
It will be remembered that about two
weeks ago it was reported tbat Miss Smith,
who had been for some time at Niagara
Fallt, would not testify, as she had disap
peared from the country. This turned out
to be a pure canard. Miss Smith did not
flinch when she entered the box. She re
peated what she had said on the previous
occasion, that on February 17 she was at
the station to post a letter; that as she
entered the gate of the station enclosure tbe
prisoner came up to her and shook hands
with ber, asked about ber people and prom
ised to go and visit the "Old Governor,"
her graudfather, with whom she lived.
NEW EVIDENCE.
The prisoner told her (and this is new
in Miss Smith's evidence) tbat he had been
to the Northwest on business about some
horses, whether to sell or buy horses she
could not remember. He bought a ticket
and left by an east-bound train. She stated
with tne utmost particularity the circum
stances of her visit to the station. She bad
gone there to post the letter because the
mail was closed. She was on her way to a
store with eggs, which she traded for oil and
gloves. She even' produced the book in
whieh the entry was made.
The witness stated that she knew the
prisoner because he had come with Mrs.
Somerset, as his wife was then called, and
Dudley, a friend, to her house several
times. When she saw the prisoner she
asked, "Is it Dudley?" and he laughed and
said, "Don't you knqw me?"

ISrECIAL TKLXOBAV TO TUB DISPATCH.!
EEADiNO.September 25. Michael Horst,
a rich farmer oi Gravel Hill, Lebanon
county, had a wild and exciting ride this
morning after his pretty young daughter
Lizzie, who bad secretly left the farmhouse
late last night to rnn away to Camden with
a young farmer, Adam Miller, and be mar
ried. Thelovershaditall planned. Mr.Miller
aged 26, owns an adjoining 40-acre larm and
wanted Lizzie, aged 20, black-haired and
black-eyed, to be his wife. Her rich old
father objected. Lizzie quietly went up
stairs after supper, secretly got ready, and
when the family were asleep she tip-toed
down stairs and out into the road, where her
lover was waiting with his team.
Off they drove in high glee and when
morning dawned they arrived at Lebanon,
put the team away and proceeded to the de
pot, where the lover bought tickets for two
to Philadelphia. With a smile of triumph
they walked to the train, but just as they
were about entering the car Farmer Horst,
in a big coat aud with fire in his eyes,
stood in front of them. He had discov
ered his daughter's absence from borne,
bitched up a pair of trotters, driven to
the nearest railway station, caught the train
just in time, and arrived at Lebanon just as
the eloping couple were about to leave.
Quickly the lovers turned and fled from tbe
depot platform, young Miller seeking
refuge among the freight cars, while fright
ened Lizzie hid away in one of the waiting
rooms. Farmer Horst called out loudly for
help, gesticulated wildly, offered the train
hands a liberal reward to catch them, but the
men only laughed, and refused assistance.
The train sped away, and finally Con
stable Gates came along and soon found
Lizzie and with some difficulty delivered
her over to her much excited father.
Farmer Horst then took Lizzie to tbe office
of his lawyer. General Gobin, where the
well-known Bepublican leader gave Lizzie
some good advice, and finally sbe conseuted
to return to the farmhouse with her
father and not run off again. Farmer
Horse wanted to have young Miller
arrested, but be was advised to drop the
matter, and at 10 o'clock he took Lizzie
home. The lover soon after appeared, say
ing tbat these autumn days were very
lovely, that Camden would not run away,
and tbat as he did not wish to have a per
sonal altercation with the old man he got
out of his way. Miller smiled, and inti
mated that Lizzie would yet be his, and that
before long.
A PLOT AGAINST DIAZ
CULMINATES IN AN ATTEMPT TO ASSAS
SINATE HIM.
Assailed With Brickbats and Bullets Dar
ing a Fcnst at the Palace, tho Mexican
President Has n Narrow Escape Tbe
Cause of tbe Uprising.
San Antonio, September 25. A prom
inent railway official who reached San
Antonio this morning from the City of
Mexico, and whose large interest in the
neighboring Bepublic render it wise for him
to be very guarded in what he says, relates
a startling story of an attempt on the life
of President Diaz. The story in brief is as
follows: During the national celebration
on the Uth instant, an immense
crowd of people of all classes surged around
tbe Executive Palace at night to do homage
to Diaz. During the climax oi tbe festivi
ies, while bands were playing and fireworks
were popping and sizling the loudest, the
President, accompanied by hu personal staff,
stepped out on to the front piazza in re
sponse to dealening calls, to witness the
pyrotechnic display.
No sooner had his martial form appeared
on the gallery than a volley of musketry
sounded above the din of music, fireworks
and yells, and bits of brick and timber be
gan to fly around his head. He retreated
hurriedly to his room, followed by his staff.
Three bullets whizzed dangerously near
him. Forty men are known to have been
concerned in the murderous plot, 15 of
whom are now in jail, aud the others are
fleeing precipitately from the country with
the military on their track. The news has
just appeared in the Mexico Government
offices.
The reason of the attack is assigned to a
variety of causes, the most important of
which is that tbe President is strongly sus
pected of coquetting of late with the cler
ical party, which is in direct conflict polit
ically and socially with tbe Liberals, to
whom Diaz owes his power. Mrs. Diaz is a
devout Catholic, and several days ago
entertained the Archbishop of Mexico in
the Presidental palace, which is the first
occurrence of the kind since the bloody
siege of tbe revolution that ended in victory
for the Liberal party.

House in Dispute
IS SATDEATED WITH OIL AND BDENED
Lamar, Col., September 25. Word has
been received of serious trouble between the
towns of Boston and Springfield in Baca
county. Since Baca county was made from
Las Animas county by the last General As
sembly, there bas been strife between these
two towns as to which should have the
seat. The act organizing the county
provided that Springfield should be the
county seat and at the election held last
fall it is alleged that, by the manipulation
of the ballots, it was made the permanent
county seat. The people ot the town of
Boston claim that Springfield bas not the
f 5,000 worth of county property necessary to
prevent the county seat from "being moved
by a minority vote this fall. The only
available building for a county Court House
was a hotel building in Boston. A few
weeks ago this was sold at a Sheriff's sale,
and was bought by Springfield parties.
Saturday night a party left Springfield
for Boston with machinery costing $1,000,
intending to move the building to the former
town and nse it as a court bouse, thus pre
venting tbe county seat issue beine raised
this fall by reason of prominent improve
ments being made. Boilers were put under
the building, which is the finest in the
county, aud three stories high, aud 20
teams were hitched to it. Inside the house
were stationed 12 men with "Winchester
rifles. The building was moved about five
miles toward Springfield, which is about 25
miles from Boston, when the people of the
latter place discovered the trick and imme
diately organized. All available horses
and rifles were brought into requisition and
pursuit was made.
Upon overtaking the party they com
manded a halt, which was answered by a
volley of shots from the men in the building.
The Boston crowd then fired and a fierce
battle raged, which ended in tbe Springfield
party being driven from the building. Coal
oil was then procured and the floors of the
building saturated. It was then set on fire
and entirely consumed. Great excitement
prevails, but owing to the isolation of the
towns, Springfield being over 50 miles from
Lamar, tbe nearest railroad station, news is
hard to obtain. Several parties arrived here
irom Springfield last night and departed
hurriedly after buying all the cartridges
they could find in town. It is reported that
several parties were seriously wounded and
two killed during the fight, but the news is
not authentic.
TO DOWN A COAL TBTJST.
ProceedlnEs Asnlnst a Combination of Teo
nrsneo Companies.
Nashville, September 25. Hon. John
Buhm, United States District Attorney for
Middle Tennessee, under the direction of the
Attorney General of the United States, to
day filed a petition in the Clerk's office
against the companies owning or operating
mines from which coal is shipped to Nash
ville and all tbe coal dealers selling to con
sumers, numbering three or four dozen com
panies. The petition alleges that a combination or
trust exists between the above corporations,
firms and individuals to fix the prices for
the Nashville coal market, and thus mo
nopolize and control the coal trade in Nash
ville. It alleges that prices are fixed by the
combine at which coal shall be sold in Nash
ville, and that local dealers obligate them
selves not to buy from any minine company
not a member of the exchange, wbile the
mining companies obligate themselves not
to deliver to any Nashville dealer wbo is
not a member. The petition asks for an in
junction in accordance with tbe provisions
of the anti-trust law passed by Congress
July 2, 1890, and is probably the first pro
ceeding taken under the law.
