And certainly, when anybody finishes with 3 to 1 the best of it, there is room for a ' lausrh to come in. That is just the way the series of ball games between the home representatives and the Cleveland team ended yesterday. Out of the four games Cleveland got one, and the home leilows got three. At that rate of progres sion the local players conld surelv land pen nant-winners if they could keep it up. Bnt they won't, and what is more, they are not required to do so. But the series nearly did not result with a lauch lor local partisans. Those very troublesome fellows from Cleveland came within an ace of squaring things up with us. For ten innings tbey fought lite little demons from start to finish, and made the big fellows hu-tlc for all they were worth. Finally they were beaten on their -merits, after one of the finest games seen here for a long time. A Fine Contest. T.he content was, indeed, a fine one and if any of the 2,630 spectators were not satisfied with it they are probably beyond satisfying at alL The attendance was larger than It other Rise would have been became Silver" King was to make his appearance in a Pittsburg uni form. Tbe light-haired jouth was there and was cheereu. He pitched four innings and three hits ere made off his delivery. He was in verj good form but he retired because he did not want to exert himself too much in his first game. During the time be was in the box he pleased the talent immenseb ana when he gets thoroughly hardened he will certainly be a king lur jrlttsuurjr aiut ne not uniy jmvueu well but he batted In a run. He was followed uj.Sulcy and Harry really crowned himself witu glory. He pitched six inning" and during that time the visitors only made three hits. And Staley also batted in a run when it was needed. Indeed it was needed so much that it tied tbe score and Henry had to wipe out a three-badger to accomplish the tea Altogether it may be said that Staley and Kicc were the two great men in yesterdays game. The entire team playeu well except Miller. The "Midget" is undoubtedly out of form just now as he can neither field his posi tion uor hit tbe balL Of course he Is in a new position and has only played it on the worst grounds in the League. He mav do better on a better ground, but so far be has not even gone after a ball in a way that would indicate first-class playing. One thing is certain; there muu be better playing at short it the team is to stand well up Reilly played a good game at bat and so did Carroll, but Miller was such a failure at bat that he knocked tbe chances of run-getting on tbe head several times. Had he been in bis old time fnrm with 'he stick tbe game would have been somewhat onesided. The local hits were considerably scattered and that explains why only tour runs were made off 12 hits and three runs made by the Clevelands oil six hits. A Good Series. Tbe visitors played a good game and Yiau' tinder the circumstances, did exceedingly well. He kept tbe sluggers from bitting tbe ball when hits would have been extremely profita ble to tbe home team. The teries with Cleveland has been a good one. The team is a very active and useful one and are pluck v players. The have not cotton aulte settled duwu jet. lbev have some good players among thcui; lu fact, some of tbe best in tbe country 1 bey are a civil lot of fellows to tackle and it is always interesting to see them plaa. Their visit here has been a profitable one to 1'ittsbursr financially. Bun-gettinc in yesterday's game commenced in tbe second inning. MjuI, who was playing instead of Hanlon the latter was moving into a new bouse got bis base on balls and reached second on Mack's sacrifice hit. Maul got to tl.ird on a wild throw by Zimmer and scored on a fine single by Mr. Kellly, who was captain of the team. King struLk out after being loudly cheered. Maul also led off the fourth InniDgand sent out a fly to Johnson. Mack knocked out a good single to riirht, and .Mr. Reilly ajrain did business bj sacrificing him to second. King came next and cracked out a long single to right, sending Mack home with an earned run. In the second hair the viitors tied tbe score. McKean touched King up lor a single to loft, and reached socond on a socrifice by Davis. Cbilds srot bis base on balls and Johnson sent out a fly to liierbauer. Alvord loomed up and Sf nt a hot liner out to Carroll. Tbe ball took a had bound and nent past Carroll, allowing Mc Keau ana Childs to score aud Alvord to reach third. King struck Virtue out, retiring tbe side. Some Ilxcitlng Stages. In the sixth tbe visitors took tbe lead. Staley bit Dans with a pitched ball and a passed ball sent him Jo second. Sacrifices by Childs and Johnson scored him. Ihe home placis tied tbe score in the eighth amid great excitement. Maul led off and was retired at first. Mack rapped out a single, and Mr. Reilly again sacrificed him to second. Then came btalea, and be thumped out a corking triple past Johnson, scoring Mack. The tentb inning came, and JIaul again led off, getting Ins base on balls. Alack sacrificed bim to sec ond, and Mr. Itcilli onco more came to the front by janking out a two-bigger to left, senu ing Maul Hume with the winmnc run. Score: ,; - C. PITTSBURG.

The wedding took place at tbe Second fresbvterlan Church, the Rev. C. R. Hemphill officiating. The bride and bridegroom have left for Europe. Baseball Notes. Mack played a great came yesterday. alvord gives promise or being a good third baseman. It was the "tall endcrs" or the team that won yesterday's game. Manager Leadley thinks that Tebeau will not be able to play for two weeks. Dunl.so the team's absence tbe grounds will be Improved, and they peed it most certainly. The bad condition of the diamond caused Bier bauer to make his error In yesterday's game. The boys go away at the .500 nark, and they will do well. if they are no lower when they re turn. Bardie Richardson' broke the small bones of his right leg In the Boston-Athletic game Yester day. , TBE League race is already quite interesting. Several teams are liable to make a big jump In a day or two. King yesterday demonstrated that be Is a great pitcher. He takes bis time in tbe box and poses conslderaolv. TheS. U. Bennetts want to play any of the local Junior clubs. Address d Sweeney, Power Hall, Diamond street. MsXAOEBLiADMtY blames yesterday's defeat of bis team on tbe bad decisions of Umpire Mc- Quale.

New York, April 3. -Sporting men about town unite in commending "Paddy" Slav In for his straightforward action In traveling to St. Louis aloue and learning from John L.' own lips the truth of the champion's retirement from the ring, it was a move that will gain McAuliffe and Smith's couquerer many lrlends In this connlrj. and then is but little doubt that Billy Madden's wise counsel actuated the journey. Sullivan was greatly impressed by the frank ness of the man. who. It Is almost conceded, will wear the crown he so long held. "I like your style and congratulate you," was John's manly outburst, and Slavlu's rcplv was no less charac teristic: '! stand on my own merits, anil am afraid of no man In the world." While thcrelsco reasonable doubt entertained by good Judges of slartn's superiority to any of the present aspiring champions, it by no means follows that the Australian has earned the cham pionship of the world, as his shonters would have us believe. The men fact of having traveled to St. Louis torccelvo corroboration of the cham pion's retirement, do-s not cntlllo any pugilist to usurp the disc irded title. A Her the stranger bad vanquished Kllraln, Corbctt, Jackson, or any other lighter who may dispute his right to pick up Sullivan's mantle It will be In tbe otdcrol things to declare hlin the world's champ'on. But until such settlement, Kllraln. i'crbett, Jackson, etal, hate as clear a title to tbe coveted honor as Siavln. The news or Kllraln and Siavln being matched cameasa pleasant surprise, een thoughlt was known that the overtures were under way. some how the sportsfelt shy of Muldoon. But It Is all settled, aud June IS, on Hobokcn's classic shores, the gladiators will meet for the Granite Athletic Club's JI0. 000 purse. Siavln will return in time for to-morrow night's reception at Madison square Garden, when New Y'o'kers can get a "line" on his style. He Is to box with Charley Mitchell and Jim Daly, of Phil adelphia. The latter Is expected to put up a good contest against the Australian. It will only be a three-round go," and It Is more than likely that uaiy win ne on nanu at me nnai can ox time. Big Joe McAuIItfe couldn't put him out In six rounds and tbe Phlladclphlan has been training specially to stay with Siavln. Among the other stars to don the mitts will be Jack McAuliffe, Johnny lieagan, Itoddy McBrlde. Charley Nor ton, cai aicuartny, raauy uorman. juiae earr, Billy Dacey and Prof. Nixon. Matsada Soraihlkl, tbe "Jap. " will wrestle Ernest Koeber a match "for keeps." The large amphitheater will prob ably be laxed to us limits If prohibitive lines do not prevail. WANTS A BIG PUESE. Siavln Says He Will fight Where There Is the Most Money. New Yore, April SO. Frank P. Slavin. the Australian pugilist, and bis wealthy friend ar rived in the city from St Louis yesterday atternooa Tbe Australian had little to say concerning his visit to the Mound City, where, he went to see John L. Sullivan regarding the probability ot arranging a match. A reporter asked him bow he aras received by Sullivan, and this is what he said: "I am pleased to say that I found Sullivan a first-rate fellow. I explained to him the nature of my visit and, of course, you know bis an swer. After this we had a drink or two to gether; and then parted tbe best of friends." While Slavin is willing to abide by any agree ment made by Billy Madden, his manager, there is a chance that tbe preliminary articles signed lor a match Detween himself and the winner of-tbe Jackson-Corbett contest may not bold good. Major Frank McLaughlin, one of the directors of the California Club, who drew up the articles, wired President Fulda of what bad been done. Tbe Major left for San Fran cisco yesterday, and before leaving his hotel received an answer from Mr. Fulda stating that the directors of the club would take action on the matter within a week. This leaves Slavin free to sign with another club if he cares to. A representative of tbe Granito Associa tion of New Jersey said last night that his club had decided to offer a purse of 13.000 for Slavin and the successful heavy-welgbt in next month's contest. Tbls offer was communicated to Slavin, who said he would fight befora the club ofierlug the biggest money. All the arrangements for tbe exhibition to night at Madison Square Garden have been completed. Jim Daly, the Philadelphia boxer, who is to spar tour rounds with the brawny Australian, will arrive here at noon to-day. He has been training for three weeks, and is reported to be in the pink nf condition. This bont will be the event of the evening, and Manager Madden said last night that it would begin at exactly 9 o'clock. Jack McAuliffe and Denny Uostlgan will be introduced an hour earlier.

The inquest in the case of Carrie Brown, the old woman who was murdered and mutilated in the East Psiver Hotel on Thursday night of last week, was to have begun this evening, and Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the Health Depart ment, was among the witnesses subptenaed by Coroner Scbultze. His was a new name in the case, and the reporters tackled him to find out what he knew about it Dr. Edson let out the secret that Inspector Byrnes had been hiding for nearly a week, that the evi dence at hand -pointed to the guilt of Frenchy No. 1, who has been under arrest since Friday last. This Frenchy occupied on the night ot the murder room 33 in the East Eiyer Hotel, diagonally across the ha'.l from room 31, where the murder was committed. Dr. Edson said that the police had found a trail of blood across the hall from room 31 to room 33, and tbe blood stains in room 33 on the bed and on a chair: that tbey also discovered ween brencby JSo. 1 was arrested that he wore a shirt stained with blood; that human blood bad been found under his fingernails. Edson's Eulogy of Byrnes. It was to the latter fact, the Docti id, that be was to testily. "This is tbe outline of the story," said the Doctor: "Inspector Byrnes is to my mind -the greatest detective who ever lived. He has worked unceasingly night and day on a theory since the murder was found out, and the way in which he has ferreted ic out ana roiiowea every straw is simply mar velous. Cut of the muadle of utter confusion, without a bottom of any single apparent fact to it, ho has shaped in my sight an awful arraign ment of tho murderer, which he can never escape." Tbe reporter went to Inspector Byrnes. He would neither confirm nor deny the story of Dr. Edson, but he retnrneJ tbe doctor's com pliments on his ability saying: "Dr. Edson Is a man wbo usually tells tbe truth." At tbls time it had not been decided to adjourn the in quest. There was a crowd at tbe Coroner's office at 2:30 p. SL Tbe jury was sworn. Then, on behalf ot the District Attorney.tMr. Lind say moved for an adjournment to Mav 11, and got It. So the reporters went back to Inspector Byrnes, and to them he told a dramatic story. Story of the Murder. He began with the arrest of Frank Sherlick, or Frenchy No. L Frency No. 1 was at the East River Hotel alone at 10 o'clock the night of the murder, and he was there drinking at 11 o'clock when tbe old woman Shakespeare and her companion came in and got tbeir drinks and went upstairs to room 3L "This man Frenchy was, as 1 have stated before," con tinued tbe Inspector, "a man of wicked and un natural habits. Frenchy bad such a tough reputation among women that none of them, except old bhakespeare, would bave anything to do with him. "It is against tbe rules of the hotel for a man not accompanied by a woman to go to the top floor of the hotel. Tho night of tbe murder Eddy Fitzgerald, tbe little bartender, was on duty at tbe hotel iu charge of the door. He did not know its rule. After Shakespeare and her companion of that night had gone upstairs Frenchy said to Eddy that he guessed be would go to bed, and asked for a room on the top floor. When Frenchy was arrested and brought to the station house, he had on no undercloth ing. He wore a ooarse shirt, a pair of trousers and a pair of socks. Many Tell-Tale Blood Marks. "He was examined, and tho lower part of his shirt was found to be covered with blood in f ronr. It was just about where the blood would strike had he stood over the woman by the side of tbe bed. There was a blood mark on the back of tbe neck of tbe shirt, just such a mark as would be made by tbe woman if she had thrown ud her hand and seized bim while she was struggling in a death grasp. There aras a splash of blood on the wristband of tbe shirt, and it was plain that an attempt had been made to ward it off. There were blood stains on one of bis socks. "On tbe outside jamb of the door of room 33, tbe room that Frenchy bad been assigned to, there were blood mark that looked as though the door bad been pushed open with just tbe tips of bloody fingers. On tbe inside of the door were blood marks that looked as though tbe door had been pushed shut witb tbe inside upper half of a band of bloody fingers. There were also blood marks on tho door of room 31, where the murder was committed. What a Blanket Kevoaled. "There were spots of blood in the hall, very small and hardly discernible. There were spots of blood on the floor of room S3. There was a stain of blood on the chair in room S3, as though a murderer had sat down In It. There were clots of blood on the blanket on the bed. It was an old army blanket. The clou were of human blood. The other stains on the blanket looked as tbougb bloody bands had been wiped in it. Tberowas blood on tbe bed tick. There were no sheets on tbe bed. "Now as to tbe man who went to tbe room with Shakespeare," the Inspector continued. "We arrested Frencby No. 2,about whom there has been so much talk, Sunday morning at 5 o'clock. We found that hehau spent tbe night of the murder four and a balf miles away from the scene of tbe murder. We simply let Frencby No. 2 zo. The man who went to tbe room with Shakespeare followed the cuatcm of the other mon who take women to the hotel and went out in a short tim. Afraid to Come Forward. "If he is an honest man he will naturally not come forward and acknowledge the fact that be went to the hotel with the woman. As to tbo prisoner's stories. He has lied to us in every Instance when he has made a statement. "Now come to tbe knife with which tho mur der was committed. We cannot trace the knife lo Frenchy or any one else. It is a very common sort of knife and such as might be used in banana shops. That is why the inquest was adjourned to-day. to give us time." Frenchy, who District Attoruev Nicoll after, ward said, gave the name nf George Frank, was arraigned this afternoon before Judge Martine. Tbe hearing was postponed until tho conclusion of the Inquest. The tody of the murdered woman was claimed to-day by Miss Emma Alton, her daughter, and by her order it was sent to her home, where it will receiver decent burial.

The New York Legislative Committee Sub mits Its Beport. Albany, April 80. The Senate Committee on General Laws submitted to tbe Senate this morning a report of 5,000 words on tbe Sugar Trust Investigation. After reviewing the testi mony taken, tbe report says: "It appears un contradicted that tbe trust declared 10 per cent annual dividends at all times during its existence, not only upon tho original capital of all tho constituent corporations, amounting to less than S7.COO.000. but also upon the fabulous valuation placed uton the stock of such' con stituent corporations, amounting to about 150, 000 000." Continuing, the report says: "It was plainly one of the chief purposes of the trust to pro vide for the issue of these certificates, afford ing thereby an opportunity for great specula tion in them, obviously to tbe advantage of tbe persons managing the trnst, with whom was lodged full information of its plans, to tbe disadvantage ot tbe general public, who wero ignorant of the secrets of the trnst. its methods and plans and of the actual valne of tbe certifi cates in which they dealt. It may well be questioned whether the trust has not organized more for the purpose otenormoos speculators than for tbe advantages to be obtained bv the combination of refineries in legitimate refining of sngar. Tbe committee recommends, among other things, that trusts either bo restrained or placed under the control of a State bureau." SLEEPING NINETY H0UES.

Celebrating the Secnrinj: of a Comfortably Sized Fortune WHEN THE STiTE IS" MYIDED TO-DAI ISPXCIAL TXLXCRAX TO THI DISPATCH. I Buffalo, April 30. Those who passed in or out ot the barroom at tbe Tint House this afternoon couldn't bave helped noticing a little party of four men. They would have attracted attention in any place in this city, for they were typical farmers, and of the most pronounced "Hoosier" stamp. There were four in the party, and they were all bappy drunk, yelling I and shaking dice for drinks. They were haying a big time, bnt their mission here is one calculated to make anyone jubilant. It was a sort of family reunion of the heirs of President Millard Fillmore, but this meeting means more than family reunions usually do, as it will be the means of bringing to each one of tbe heirs a nice little fortune. The Fillmore estate is worth about 8300,- 000, and it is to be divided among 11 per sons, five of whom live in Michigan, three in Indiana, two in Washington, and one in California. Those who are here are George M. Benjamin, F. Almon L. and Millard C, all nephews of the dead President Tbe other heirs, with the exception of one, are expected here before to-morrow, for at tbat time the final settlement of the estate will take place in tbe Surrogate's Court. Blowing In Their Wealth. They bad everything tbeir own way at tbe Tifft and spent lots of monev, which they have borrowed on tbe strength of their pros pective fortune, and to-night tney were in an uptown saloon shaking dice, telling stories about their great uncle and buying drinks for tho crowd. "I'll bave another cocktail; so will 1, andso'lllandso'lll," Time and again tbia order went round to night till tbo nephews were light beaded and maklnz fun for the spectators. Tbey areas perfect specimens of Hoosier farmers as could easily be produced. They all wore "blled" shirts, but no collars or cuffs. Their shirts were of tbat kind tbat have pleats and buttons up in front with a neckband wide enough to make a collar if necessary. Aimon is a smootn-laced. solid old chap, 68 years old, and Is said to resemble the President more closelv than any otber of tbe living de scendants. Millard C. is a sturdy man ot SS, and wears a gray mustache. Benjamin F. Is toe oiuesi oi tne riumore neirs. ile is bo years of age, and with bis tuft of gray chin whiskers and sharp features makes a good Uncle Sam. They arrived to-day, and Immediately pro ceeded to paint the town. Almon was the spokesman of the party, and seems to take a greater pride in the memory of his famous old uncle than any otber of tbe family. A Famous Old Watch. "This was uncle's watch," he said, as he drew from his trousers pocket an old-fashioned, open-faced gold watch. It was an English lever, and 75 years ago was probably one of the most valuable watches In America. On the back of tbe case is this inscription In "a circle: "Millard Fillmore, 1S34." "It Is a good timer yet," said the old farmer, "and many a time I bave been offered $1,000 for it." A large gold seal that also belonged to the President is attached to the fob. Being filled with wine to-niirbt. farmer like, the old boys got to bragging about their strength not exactly aoout tnetrown strength, Dut about tbe physical superiority of their boys. Almon be gan It with: "Say, I've got a boy that can turn any Fillmore on his back that's living." "I say be " can't," broke in Millard. "I'll just bet that he can." "I'll just bet you that be can't; takes a pretty soggy man to turn me on my back." But Al mon insisted that his boy was tbe strongest lu "old Ingeanny." and so they had anotber glass and let the matter drop. The estate will be settled up to-morrow, and then the heirs will go to Niagara Falls for a short time. ENJOINED THE O0VEBN0B. An Ohio Senator Who Does Not Want to Be Gerrymandered Out.
