The Pittsburgs played tlie Clevelands tbis after noou, and wou the honors of the game, but only by close playing. Both teams showed up in fine form, displaying nint and dash from the start to the end, fine base run ning and timely hard hitting being the rule of the game. The large audience, many being ladies, enjoyed it hugely. The Pittsburg batterv worked we'll. Galvin and Hack did tine work. Galvin pitched in the old-time fashion. Carroll's fielding, tbe timely hitting t Uecklc. the vuarp work of lUncr ana Pete Browninj's -catapults," all told. In tact throughout the game the Pitts burc; played as if they were well limbered up. The Ulevelai snowed up well with three fine sets of base runner, among them Mo Aleer, who did daring base running; McKean's prime shortstop work, and the excellent bat ting of Davis and ihe corkiug two-baggers by Johnson aim Mack, are worthy of special men tion. Miller's coaching of the Pittsburgers was quite novel. Billy Tajlor. who played with the Pltt6burgs in 1SS2 and lfcXJ, pulled hard for his old team. lVtting ran hizh up in the "colored row," 5 to 1 nn I'lttsbnrcfrom the start.

President O'Ceil said ) esterday: "The first game does not amount to much, but I think our plajers did well to be only de feated by h to C by the Cleveland players, who have been houth practicing for some time. We are in a bad fix for pitchers, as we only have htaley and Galvin with the team. I5.it Maul and fcmlih will soon lw there, and I have great faith iu Smith. Goodness knows wben Bald win will get away frombr. Louis as he Is being outrageously dealt with dow n there. Stratton is not so sick as reported. His wife telegraphs me that ho has no fever and that he will soon be all right again. If we had our pitchers iu shape we would soon be all right." LOOKS LIKE BUSIHESS.

I'.il.y Mwr' backer, wa notified jesterclav of Au-tin Gibbons' offer, and if Mjer is willing tu fight Gibbons the match will be peedil ar ranged. Ibe Crib Club, of 2roy, will probably offer a purse of 52.500 for Myer and Gibbons to fight, and tbe purse, together with tbe stakes, 5,000, would make 57,000 to the winner. TC-IGHl'3 BIG VHT. Great Local Interest In the Iteilly and Un known At restling Match. What promises to be one t the most excit ing wrestling matches that haR ever taken place in Western Pennsylvania will take place in New Turner Hall, Canal street, Allegheny, this evening. The contestants are Ed Reilly. of tbe Twelfth ward, and an unknown. They aro to wrestle under catcb-as-catch-can rules, best two in three falls, for J250 a side and the entire gate receipts. Each man is to weigh not more than 135 pounds one hour before tbe con test takes place, and tbe contestants are to be ready for tbe contest at 8 o'clock. It is needless to say that both men have un dergone a thorough preparation for the con test, and as a result each is confident of vic tory. The match is virtually for tbe light weight championship of the world, as the win ner will be matched to wrestle any man at 133 pounds for J1.000 a side. This alone makes the contest one of great importance. The betting on tbe result is quite lively, and there is considerable money for Reilly. Two of his friends called at this office jesterday in quiring where they could find anv money for the unknown. They had 5200 or (300 to bet at even money. There was one bet of $25 to S20 on Reilly booked, but the betting, with this ex ception, 'was at even money. It is not likely that any odds will be bet to-day, as the contest is apnafentlr an easy one. Reilly is a great Pittsburg favorite, and is one of the most vlg oriuislightweichtseverseen on a carpet. The unknown, according to rumors, has a great record. o that the contest may be expected to be a great one. WILL STOP EACIHG. The Gloucester Race Track Officials Come to a Decision Quito Unexpectedly. Gloucfstkr, N. J.. April .1 The officials of the toouth Jersey Jockey Club decided to-night to discontinue racing at the track here after Saturday next. Their reasons for closing the track are entirely a matter of conjecture, as nothing has been made public except the bare announcement that the track will close for an indefinite period on the day mentioned. Presi dent Thompson, who is virtually the owner of the track, made tho announcement himself. He declined to give any reason for the closing, but the general oninion is that the action was taken because of the crusade against book mtkir.g and pool selling inaugurated last week by tho ministers of This county. All tbe gambling saloons here, which closed their doors last night, remained tightly closed to-dav, .ind the present indications are that they will not open again. A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING. Maul, Laroque and Smith May Not Go to riorida at AH. A meeting of the directors of the local ball club was held at the Hotel Anderson yesterday. Tbe business transacted was only of a routine character. It was understood that the question of send ing Maul, Laroqne and Smith to join the team in Florida was discussed. As a result these nlavers were informed that they will not leave tbe citv for the South until this evening, and it may be that tbey will not go South at all. When these players arrived here Piesident O'Neil intended to send them to join the team at once, but during the last day or two there seems to be an influence at work to prevent their going away at all. The expense of the trip may have something to do with it. THE FOOTBALL CONTEST. McDonald Is a Good First for the Pennant Gamfls for To-Day. Beside the football game referred to in this paper jesterday between the Eurekas aud tbe McKeesports, there will be two others to-day. Homestead will play at Shaner, aud McDonald at Braddock.

Wager, who is a former resident of Chicago, weighs about 200 pounds, and has the reputation of being a first-class man. A Good Benefit. There was a good attendance at Pat Farrell's benefit at Braddock last evening. The wretling and boxing exhibitions were exceedingly in texestiug and were highly appreciated. The boxing of Ed Smith and Farrell was one of the features of the evening, and Haslam. Jesse Clarke and others wrestled some exciting bouts. The Braddock Gun Experts. The Braddock Gun Club will spend several hundred dollars this season improving their grounds. They will also add several new traps. The members are preparing to hold a big tournament as soon as the weather permits. Knell for Columbus. Lo3 AxOeles, Cal., April 3. Knell, the baseball pitcher, to-day signed with the Colum bus club.

DERISION FOR DILKE. Nanied as ParnelPs Successor at a Primrose League Meeting. THE EX-LIBEPiAL SDAttPLY RAPPED Earl Eosenorry, the Lordly Head of the House of Primrose, IS TEE HOPE OF THE LIBERAL PAETI 1BT DUKLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.l London, April 3. At the meeting of that now well-known organixition, the Primrose League, which has lor its badge the flower sacred to the memory of Lord Iieacousfield, and to make which a power in the Conservative ranks every effort has been made, James Forrest Pulton, M. P. for the Northern division ot "Westhani, inveighed against what he was pleased io call the "slander" that had been uttered, to the effect that the Conservative party was giving its support to Parnell. Ihe honorable gentleman, in his excite ment, went in for the use of strong words, and stigmatized the statement as a "calum nious falsehood," but he did not stop here, lor he went on to declare with vehemence aud lervor that, "so far as the recent events were concerned Mr. Parnell was, in his eyes aud in the eyes of the Conservative party, exactly what he had always been, viz, an unscrupulous adventurer.'" In other and far more influential quarters Parnell has been receiving a meed of attention, which, when the excitement of the moment dies away, he will, no doubt, sorely miss. A Dig at Dlllte. Addressing his constituents at Birminc ham, the lit. Hon. Heury Matthews, Q. C, urged that social matters bad undergone no real progress. In referring to Parnell an.-i Sir Charles Dilke, and the condition to which they had both been brought, Mr. Matthews said: "Having banished Mr. Parnell, who are they going to choose as their constituent ruler and who are they going to put in the place of that gentle man?" This was evidently a rhetorical question and therefore did no't call lor a reply. Bnt, to the astonishment of all, there came a voice from the far end of the hall, wjiich cried: "Sir Charles Dilke." Tbe opportu nity was too good to be lost for giving a rap to the ex-member for Chelsea, who was cer taiuly one of the most iormidable figures in tne Liberal ranks when he was in the House. "Yes," said Mr. Matthews, "He has every qualification for the place exceDt that of beiug an Irishman. In other re spects he seems to be admirablv adapted for it." The Hope of the Liberals. The head of the house of Primrose, the lordly hope of the ex-Liberal party, the Earl of Boseberry, who has been Lord Privy Seal aud Secretary of State for For eisri: Affairs under the Grand Old Man, will next session succeed to the leadership ot the party in the Upper House. The move creates no wonder, because everybody ex pected that in due course Lord Eoseberry would occupy this position, and during the life of the late Countess almost the only stlon ot the party was held at their house. The accession of ihiscomparatively youthful statesman to so important a place is confi dently relied on to attract many followers to the party and to create an interest in politics among the younger members. This is highly necessary, tor it is said that there are not enough Liberal lords now to fill the places when Mr. Gladstone comes into office; and that he will form a fourth ministry is part of the creed ol every Lib eral and Radical politician. The Badical party naturally objects to the creating of any more peers by the Liberals, because such a course would probably have the effect of prolonging the lite of that body lor a gen eration, and a title is to a Badical about as soothing an object as a red rag to a bull. KILLED HIS "WIFE. Six Little Children Left Tatherless and Motherless by the Crime. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. Birmingham, April 3 The city has been stirred by a murder, followed by the immediate confession of the criminal. At 1 o'clock this morning a policemau on his beat was accosted by a man who stated that he had stabbed his wife aud had every reason to believe she was dead. The officer thereupon took him into custody and marched him off to the station, where he gave his name as John Patchet. The police then went to his bouse in Cheapside, where they found the woman lying at the bottom of the staircase. In her arms was a baby 6 months old, who was crying. They took the child away and proceeded to raise the mother, when they found she was dead, her throat having a deep gash in it. The accused had been, uutil within the last two years, a sober, steady, hard-working fellow, but had been driven to drink by the intemperate and other objectionable habits of his wife. Six little children remain. HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. A Doomed Murderer Disappointed at Being Allowed to Live. IBT DUiLAP'S CABLE COMPAKT. Belfast, April 3. The governor of the prison here having been notified bv the Lord Lieutenant that the death sentence of the old man, Patrick Mooney, who was con victed at Downpatrick last month for the murder of his wife at Warren Point, County Down, had been commuted to imprison ment lor life, called ou the prisoner to in form him of the fact. On entering the cell, Mooney was found engaged in making his will, and prolessed to be greatly disappointed at the intelli gence that ho was to be allowed to live. THE OZAB'S GRATITUDE Led Him to Confer That Imperial Decora tion ou President Carnot. IBT DUKLAV'S CABLE COMFAXY.1 London, April 3. Current report has it that the reason His Imperial Majesty, the White Czar, conferred the Order of St. Andrew on Monsieur Carnot, was gratitude, produced by a lively sense of favors already received from the French Government in hastening the manu acture of the repeating rifles which had been ordered for the Rus sian army from the French factories. Tbis explanation, of course, robs the mat ter of what significance it possessed as a recognition by the Czar of the Prencn Republic BTJDINI CALLED DOWN By Emperor William for Itecent Triple Alliance Utterance. IBT DUSLAV'S CABLE COMPAKT.l Pakis, April 3. Chancellor von Ca privi, it is reported, has, by the Emperor's order, formerly complained to the Italian Government o. a recent declaration made by Premier Ruaini, to the effect that the Triple Alliauce was regarded by Italy as being only a defensive one. The Chancellor was instructed to protest that such statements were calculated to weaken the Alliance, which it was the duty of the Ministers of the three Powers to strengthen in every way possible. PLEA OP HYPNOTISM Is Becoming the Fashionable One Now in London Murder Cases. IBT DCXLAP'S CABLE COMPAJ.T.1 London. April 3. Hypnotism as a de fense in murder cases is the fashionable thing just now and is fast superseding tbe old form of proving an alibi, to say nothing of. being more difficult to disprove. It has just been made the plea in Westminster, where a man was brought np for the mur der of his wife, and he astonished the Court bv saying with every appearance of con viction that he was sure he had been mes merized and was therefore not responsible for the act, which he otherwise never would have committed. There is a strong feeling, which is grow ing, to restrict the practice of this science, both in public and private exhibitions, as in many cases the healtn of the subject ex perimented on is injured. BAIN BADLY WANTED. Pasture Lands of England Shriveling Up for Want of Water. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPA1CT.1 London, April 3. The weather is again exercising the minds of the people, and now the cry goes up for rain, which the farmers declare is every bit as much wanted as sunshine. The pasture lands in the country round about London are shriveling np for want of water and the grass is shorter than it has been for many years past, although we are already well in the first week of the month which inspired Browning's well known line, "On, to be in England now that April's there." The budding ot the trees is still delayed, and, as things look at present, we are likely to have the most backward season of the last 20 years. The consequence of this is that vegetables are not only very scarce, but correspond ingly dear, while flowers ot all sorts are few and costly. The agricultural interests all over the country are crying out that the prosperity which everybody was hoping for seems as lar off as ever. ENGLAND'S CENSTJ& It Will Be Taken All Over the Country by the Police To-Day. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPAKT.l London, April 3. The census will be taken to-morrow, and the comparatively simple forms which are required to be filled up have naturally been already left at the bouses by the police, who will call for them on Mouday. Then the work of counting will begin, and it will be a very short time, com pared with the methods adopted in "the land of the free," before the returns are pub lished. The fact? desired are age, occupa tion and birthplace of those who sleep under the roof at night, and their relation with the head of the household. In addition to this, an account of those in mates who are deaf, dumb, blind, crajy or sutferlug in any similar manner, is required. All papers are educating their readers how to help the officials in the preparation of these lorms. THBEE LIVES SAOELFIOED. Terrible Crime of an Austrian While Under an Insane Delusion. IBT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.l Vienna, April 3. A terrible tragedy oc curred at Keubau, a suburb of this city, yes terday. An upholsterer named Kleinert, although in easy circumstances, imagined, during a fit of aberration, tha". he was ruined, and to save bis wife and family from want arose in the middle of the night and proceeded to tear down tbe gas pipes iu the bedroom occupied by his wife and six chil dren in order that the escaping gas might suffocate them. The noise awakened Fran Kleinert, who on remonstrating with her husband, was shot by him. He then killed himself. The eldest sop, aged 26, was suffocated, and the other children are more or less injured. THE UNIONIST SIDE Chamberlain Says Many Gladstonians Want to Drop Home Rule. IBT DONLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.T Portsmouth, April 3. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, speaking at a Unionist meet ing last evening, said that many Gladston ians would gladly abaudon the policy of horn j rule, but had not the courage to act independently. Home rule being at present an impracticable policy, electors should consider from which party they could ob tain the best performances. Even if Gladstone were returned to power, he could do nothing in the way of promot ing social reforms, and would first endeavor to set up a rival parliament in Dublin. Unionists, however, were not so hampered, but were free to continue their reforming labors. THE STRIKE MiOBOBE. It Attacks a Number of London Cab Drivers, Who Ouit Business. IBT DUKLAP'S CABLE COMPAjrT.l London, April 3. The strike microbe, that seems at present to be in the atmos phere, hjs attacked the drivers of the cabs owned by Charles Henry John Talbot, the present youthful representative of the ancient Earldom of Shrewsbury and Talbot. The men protest that the price charged by his lordship for the hire ot his vehicles is excessive, and that they are unable to make a living. Over 100 cabs are now idle in the yards, which are picketed to prevent their being taken out by new hands. TO BESIGN THE CROWN. The King of Greece Will Lay Down the Scepter for Business. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.I London, April 3. It is s'ated here that the prospective visit of the King of Greece to London is with the object or taking up his permanent residence in this city. In this event he will abdicate in favor or the Duke of Sparta, who is nearly 23 years old. The reason for this move is said to be that the King is the bead of a very large com mercial house in this city, and has acquired an enormous fortune by fortunate stock ex change speculations.

His Captors Shoot Dim and lie Dies From the Wound Inflicted. KG CIIAKGES I'KEFBKEED AGAINST HIM New Yobk, April 3. The Demerara Argosy, received on to-day's steamer, publishes the following: "From a cor respondent, upon whose veracity we can place full reliance, we have received the following serious intelligence front the Northwest district: On the 8th of February a man named William Campbell, a British grant holder on tbe Barima, and related to a well-known and respectable Pomeroon family, went to visit an Englishman called Neames, who holds a place on the Vene zuelan side of the Amacooroo river. Shortly after Campbell's arrival at Neames' house, three Venezuelan police, armed with guns, and one said to be a sergeant, armed with a drawn sword, entered Neames' house and surrounded Campbell, informing him that they had come to arrest him, but they re fused to tell him on what charge. Camp bell offered no resistance, but merely said hp wished to go of his own accord. The Venezuelan sergeant ordered a policeman, who was standing behind Campbell, to The Englishman Fatally Shot, fire at him. The policeman did so, fearfully shattering Campbell's right hand. "The sergeant then demanded rope from Neames to tie up Campbell, but Neames re fused to give him any. The police then took Campbell away with them to the In spector, who sent him on to the Venezuelan Governor at Orinoco. "The Governor sent Campbell back to Amacooroo, where he was liberated, no charge of any kind having been made against him. Campbell returned at once to his grant at Barima, and reaohed Mora whanna Hospital on the 14th of this month, where his hand was dressed and every possi ble thing was done for him, but he died on the 16th lrom the effects of the gunshot wound. "This act of the Venezuelan police has naturally caused a very bitter feeling among the settlers, both on the English and Venez uelan side of the Amacooroo. Mr. Anson, the district magistrate, held an inquest into Campbell's death, and the jury returned a verdict of willlul murder against the police man who shot Campbell and the sergeant who ordered him to fire. "What has happened here is just what we all thought would happen sooner or later if the strained relations which exist between Great Britain and Venezuela over the boundary question, and especially the former's deliberate possession of tbe north west district, were not relieved by a busl-ness-like settlement of tbe question. Venezuela's Bloodthirsty Representatives. "The representatives ot the Government of Caracas are men with more or less x a statesmanlike philosophy, content to await the full time, although it might be very tedious, when tbe question shall be dis posed of upon its merits; but their officers in the outlying districts, men rough and ready and incapable of exercising judicial discretion, were not be expected to show the same degree of forbearance. The treatment Mr. McTurk received during his official visit to Guacipati was evidence enough on this point, and now the loul murder of a British colonist iu cold blood, without, so far as has been ascertained after an official inquiry, the least provocation, discloses in all its grossness the bloodthirsty leeliug which the average Venezuelan bears toward a citizen of Great Britain. "We have no idea what our Governor has done in this matter, but we hope that he has sent to demand the surrender for trial of the murderers, and alsolntimated to the Admiral on the station that tbe services of a gunboat may possibly be required. This is not a tune to walk softly and express friendly sen timents. A brother citizen has been mur dered simply because he belonged to our country, and if his death is not avenged it will be a lasting disgrace to our name. We are not confounding the Venezuelan Got eminent wun tbe rough men who represent it at Amacooroo, but if that government should be unwise enough to stand between the murderers and the fate they have courted, our country should not hesitate one moment in resorting to action worthy of its name."
