rerjtCIAI. TFLEGRAM TO TUB DISFATCH.I
Sr. Augustine, Fla., April 3. 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.
To-rnorrou's game will be better than to

PLEASED "WITH THE TEAM.
President O'iveK Quite Satisfied TFIth the
First Game of His Men.
.Speaking of the local team's first defeat and
Srst game of the season onlhursday. 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."

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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."
