Five hun dred people saw the game of ball between Cleveland and Pittsburg to-day. Pittsburg was not in it. Their ambition was batted out in the first inning and Cleve land had a picnic. That portion of the mundane sphere in closed in the fence was wiped up with them, liigid practice of Cleveland handicapped them. From the first the heavy hatting of the Cleveland knocked the Pittsburgers out and thereafter playing was merely me chanical. They haven't gotten their eyes yet and the Clevelands had a walk over. Young did well in the box, while several in each club did fine batting, one sphere coins over the fence. Several two-base hits were made. Tbe weather is delightful and both c!uls arc in fine trim, good health and spirits; 14 to 2 was the score. The score: rtTT?. R B r A rlCLEVEt'D. R B P A E IUfc;r. ...

"Silver" King, the St. Louis pitcher, did not arrive in Pittsburg yesterday, and will not be here until Thursday or Friday. This morning he will sign an agreement to play in Pittsburg this season, providing it Is understood that the reserve rule docs not apply to him. He would have signed a contract j-esterday afternoon had there been one in St. Louis, but tho agree ment will just be as binding. Attorney Joy is representing the Pittsburg clnb in the matter and j esterday wired Presi dent O'Xeil terms as to advance money. Mr. O'Neil agreed to tbe terms and requested that King sign the acrecment referred to and leave for Pittsburg Wednesday evening. It n. there fore, likely that the matter will be definitely settled to-day. Referring to the matter yesterday President O'Neil said: "Before we aro many hours older King will sign an agreement which will bind iirn to Pittsburg. Tins is certain. Who will we release? Well, we cannot keep more than four pitcher and vie look upon King. Staley. Stratton and Baldwin as tlrst-class. That, of couise, means that Maul. Smith. Qalvm and Fields ill have to go. The last named is not a pitcher, certainlv. but we have not room for him. I can get all of them well placed. Al ready three clubs are after Smith. Maul will soon get an engagement, and I can place Gal vin in Philadelphia, Fields, too. Is In demand. Most certainly we would like to keep Galvin, but any fair-minded man will know that wo cannot keep five pitchers." Mr. O'Neil coutinued:i"Klng is practicing every day in fat. Loui, and when he comes here I will gijt him a catcher so that bo can bo practicng right up to the time of tbe return of tbe team." A Foolish Resolve. A rumor was current among local amateurs yesterday that the baseball club of the Alle gheny Athletic Association had resolved to nut be connected with the A. A U. contests. If anv such course has been resolved upon it Is verv foolish as a team representing tbe associa tion irftue A. A. U. would bringthe association before tbe amateur world. Even if the team was beaten that would be no disgrace, this beingitshrstyear. There must be abeginning and better have it now. Awaiting Ofell's Answer.

Tho Western Cyclone ays a Few Words , About Jack McAuliffo. CHICAGO, April 13. Billy Myers, who is matched to fight Andy Bowen at New Orleans May 19, came up from Streator yesterday jo purchase training supplies and returned home last night. The "Cyclone" has not yet settled down to systematic training, but as his general health was never better, and as be has very lit tle superfluous flesh to take off, he has no bard work ahead of him, and is confident that ho will dispose of Bowen in short order. Myer feels very bitter toward McAuliffe, speaking of whom he said: "Since the unsatisfactory ending or our first meeting at North ,Tudtn I have spent SI, 000 in cash, not to speak of months of valuable time, trying to get on a match with him. I have several times gone to New York and bnng my money over his own door, but every tune he has either evaded the issue or crawled. We succeeded after hard work in getting him to commit himself to a match and post a forfeit with Bud Renaud, binding him to meet me at New Orleans and it looked as thoucb ray hopes were about to be realized, but he flunked again and his backers are now crjing to get their money back. I'm disgusted with McAuliffe, and tbe next time he talks fight to me the peo ple in the immediate vicinity will see a bit of a' scrap that will cost them nothing." F1TZ3IMM0NS AND SMITH. The Denver Man's Backer Wants to Meet tho Australian To-Day. Bob Fitzsimmons, the champion middle weight pngilist, arrived in the c,uy last evening. He was not surprised that Hall's backers had declined to match tbe latter to fight him, Fitz simmons. Tbe champion is in excellent condi tion and is willing to fight any man for tbe middleweight championship providing the purse or stakes are worth fighting for. Ho does not object to meet Ed Smith, if tbe latter can secure sufficient backing to make it worth while training for a chamoionship contest. He expects to arrange a match with Ted Fritchard this year. Regarding the challenge of Ed. Smith to fight Kitzsimmons, the barker of Smith said last evening: "I want Fitzsimmons to state deilnitely whether be will'fUht Smith for 1,000 a sido in private, under London prize ring rules, or for that amount and a purse under Queensberry rules. Smith may be able to secure a stake of 32,500 a hide. At any rate, if Fitzsimmons declines to make a match with Smith tne latter will certainly claim tbe cham pionship." Smith's forfeit is still at this office, and his backer wants to meet Fitzsimmons here tbis alternoon, to see what can be done toward making a matcTi. The Tale Crew Criticised. New Havex, April 13. In criticising tho crew last night. Captain Cook said: "I cannot as yet form an opinion of the crew, for they are as you might say simply new beginners. Tlioy are a heavy lot of men empowered with great strength, and it depends whether wo shall be able to utilizo it. It is-too early yet to make any predictions. I will say, however, that they show a willingness to row that is seldom equalled cither In a new crew or even an old one; time will tell whether their willingness to row will prove beneficial. They seem to be doing well, but it will reqnire "an immense amount of practice to put them n proper con dition. As to individual work, some of them are progressing much faster than others, but the rudiments have yet to be mastered. As to to the make-up of tbe crew I cannot say, for I do not know. I shall come to New Haven again very soon. I cannot say when at the present time, for I have my business to at tend to." Dacy to McAuliffe. New York, April 13.

Horrible Murder in a Large Country Houso in Maryland. A WOMAN SHOT DOWN IS CEP, While f Iler Husband Is Also Mortalljr Wonnded by the Thieves. PIEBCE FIGHT' WITn 'THE BDEGUES ISrZCIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISFATCIt.l Elkton, JId., April 13. This morning abont 1 o'clock a horrible murder was com mitted at the pretty home of J. Granville .Richards, at Porter's Bridge, in this county. Tbe country around is in a feverish state of excitement ov.er the crime. The circum stances of the terrible affair, as they are learned to-day, are substantially as follows: At 1 o'clock tbis morning Mrs. Richards was awakened from a sound sleep by a noise in the direction of the bureau in her bed room. She listened and beard enough to satisfy her that something was wrong, and then, peering into the darkness, she saw the faint outlines of two men. She screamed, awaking her husband. As soon as she did this one ol the ruffians approached her bed side, and, placing a revolver close to her head, fired. The ball entered tbe brain close behind the left ear. Tbe husband by this time had raised himself to a sitting position in his bed, and .he at once became the target of the other burglar, the ball from bis revolver taking effect in Mr. Bichards' left groin. Could Have Killed One. Mr. Bichards had a revolver in his hand and fired two shots, both of which missed their mark, but he says he could have shot one of them dead, but for the supposition that the other figure might be that of his oldest son, and this kept, him from firing in that direction. Meanwhile tbe wife lay in an unconscious 3nd dyimj condition on the bed, ber lire blood pouring from the large, gaping wound, but she lingered on until about 5 o'clock this morning, when she died. Mr. Bichards, though shot in a critical manner, leaped from his bed, though fast weakening from the loss of blood, and rnshed upon his wife's murderers. At the top of the stairway leading into his room he had a hand-to-hand battle with the ruffians, (luring which one of them sent another pis tol ball into bis abdomen. The shock threw him down a flight of stairs, and he was fallen upon by the murderers and badly beaten with an iron bar. Here bis arm and wrist were broken and he was badly cut about the neck and face. His Death Almost Certain. This afternoon his condition was very critical, and there is but little hope of his recovery. The other inmates of the house were his children, all boys, the oldest being about 17 and the youngest 7 years pld. They did not hear the noise attending the murderous attack on their parents. They slept in a remote portion of the large build ing. A servant girl sleeping in a room in the back portion of the house was not aroused until the murderers were about leaving the premises, when considerable noise was made by them in their hurry to get away. Bich ards is about 33 years of age and his wife was about one year his junior. He holds a position as examiner in the Baltimore cus tom house and it has been his custom to only be at his borne on Saturday and Sunday nights. The thieves took with them money to the amount of abont $100 and two watches, one a gold one, also several Government bonds, aggregating abont $4,000. The tide of sym pathy and indignation is running verybigb,! and if tbe murderers are captured lynching will probably follow. Searching parties were organized and every effort is being made to bring the fugitives to justice. FIFTH AVENUE. IT WILL PAY YOU TO SUMMER DRESSES.

CAMPBELL & DICK a --m - N - r - r liA - Vr JZJ Vr U 89 FIFTH AVENUE, SAMUEL GOMPERS HERE', The Great Exponent of Shorter Works Days Will Speak at Lafayette Hall To-If ight Work of tho Mining Commission labor Notes. President Samuel Gompers, of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, came to the city yesterday.and will deliver one of the greatest .lectures of his life in Lafayette Hall to night on the eight-hour question. Mr. Gompers is considerably fatigued after his long journey from New York to the Pacific coast and back, but his trip has been such a succes, and the great exponent of shorter work days has- been given so many ovations, that his spirits have been kept np. Mr. Gompers is not stopping at a hotel this trip. Upon his arrival in the city yesterday, he was met by William Martin, ex Vice President of the Federation, with whom be was associated for several years, and at whose home he is now being enter tained. Mr, Gompers endeavored, to keen away from the reporters, preferring to wait and do bis talking to-night. He fell into their snares, however. Talking about tbe coming miners' fight, which is the most im portant labor topic to-day, he said: "Their strike is a certainty. I am afraid the operators will be very much surprised at our strength. If they are depending on our.inability to endure a strike to win, they will be sadly mistaken. We have good financial backing, and can get 'more if needed. I am surprised that the operators refused to entertain the very fair propo sitions made to them by the miners. They asked so little, and did not insist on any but a verbal agreement until the men could makehhe movement general. They will discover that Colonel Beud's position wonld have been the ocst for them to take before thev get through." Mr. Gompers would not express himself on the coke troubles nor on the coming car penters' strike. While in San Francisco he addressed an audience of over 10,000 peo ple. At Denver he addressed both Houses of tbe Legislature, and in nearly all of tbe cities visited the meetings were presided over by the Mayors. Mayor Gourley will not allow the record to be broken. Great preparations bave been made for tbe meet ing to-night. It will be attended by a large number of business men and manufactur ers, to whom special invitations have been sent. Mr. Gompers will go directly from here to New York, where he will arrange for an inauguration of tbe eigbt-hour movement May 1. Counterfeit Notes Are Small. St. Lonls Globe-Democrat.! All counterfeit norps are smaller than Government bills. Government plates are made a little larger than the finished notes to allow for the shrinkage of the paper. In counterfeiting money a new note is pasted ou a polished steel plate and transfer paper placed over it. The work i3 then tiaced with a fine pencil. The bills made when damped shrink, and are therefore a trifle smaller than the genuine. USE Iron City Brewing Co.'i Lager beer. 'Phone 1186. Sterling Silver.
