One inning did it.
And it wa-n big, uglyand ;ort of dull-tbud
inning at tnar.
There are many superstitions in baseball
regarding jonahs, mascots, etc., and there is
quite a tradition to the
effect that Harry Stalcy in
variably has a fatal inning.
There was no doubt about
it yesterday in the ball
game at Exposition Park
bet cen the local and Phil
adelphia teams. In many
innings the visitors banged
the ball about the lot with
considerable freedom, .hut
in the sixth thoy simply
went to v orlc and kept the
hall rolling and flying in
a way that made the field
ers run us if they -were
trying to escape from an
earthquake Indeed it was
an awful inning.
Staley was entirely helpless in front of
oven such moderate men as the Phillies in
that particular inning. As soon as ho w ould
pitch the hall, "Biff," "Bang" it would go
and in would come more runs. This went
on until six big runs were scored and five
of them were clean from the stick end.
Couldn't Wipe It Out.
If that inning could only have been
wined out we would have been all right.
3!ut it was there to stay and it turned the
lalance. Of course, every pitcher is liable
to get a thumping at any stage, even though
lie pitched e er -o well, iiut yestcruay n
seemed from the first inning that Harry
was just the kind of "pie" that the veteran
manager's aggregation w ere out looking for.
In the very opening inning they lighted on
to him as an eagle -would its prey nndit
looked as if they were going to knock him
into the shape of a three-coeked hat with
out any mercy at all. In truth, had It not
been for some very excellent fielding on the
part of the home players and for some very
st epiC base running on the part of the vis
itors, the first inning would likely enough
have been a corker as far as run-getting
was concerned.
And Harry was hit again in the second and
third innings sufficiently to give himself and
his manager, or anvbody else, to plainly
understand that the Phillies have his meas
ure with correct exactitude. At this stage
it might have been v. ell if Staley had been
retired andone of our other pitchers put in.
Had this been done it is just about certain
that the home team would have won. No
doubt evervthing was done for the best, and
probably Manager Hanlon would be reluc
tant to ruffle Staley's temper by taking him
ont of the game
Should Have Ketlred.
But when matters are so plain to be seen
as they were yesterday, a pitcher should not
for a moment hesitate to give way for
another, because a change is often vcry
effective. It is no disgrace to a pitcher to be
taken out of the box, because his style for
the time being is suitable to the opposing
hatters. Be he one of the best in the country,
there comes stages when anybody can size
him up for a while, and then is the time for
him to take a "header" and disappear.
It is in the main nonsense to keep working
pitcheis in exnet rotation; nnd to put this
man or that man in simply because it is his
turn. Oue pitcher may almost at all times
he able to baffle a certain team while another
pitcher will simply be a mark for the self
same team. And the mark may be a puzzler
for some other team while the bafflers may
be a picnic for that other team. What is re
quired is to place the pitchers where they
will be baffler- and puzzlers Irrespective of
w bother it i their turn to pitcli or not.
Had staley been taken out of the box yes
terday before the -sixth inning the homo
team w ould have w on beyond a doubt, be
cause the home player began to size Thorn
ton up and had las measure in the latter
p.irt ol the came.
There wore 2.03S people, who paid, at the
game yestcrdaj . The coated w as not of
'the exciting kiiid.becau-e for more than half
of it the home slusgers could not slug Mr.
Thornton. Until the e entli inning ho
Was Quito an Enigma
that thoy could not solve Then they found
his measuie, but it was too late in tho game
because of the six great runs that the vis
itors had made in the sixth, and because tho
game w a o near at an end. It is fair to say
that for more than half of the game Thorn
ton pitched v ery well. In the fourth inning
it looked as if he was going to collapse, as
threo men were onbaes with nobody out.
Miller had made a hit rnd Becklcy and
Browning had received their buc on'balN.
But there were no runs made. Carroll
knocked a fly to Myers, and Blcrbaucr's
f rounder allow ed a double play to bo made
hiring all thi- Thornton kept very cool, and
if ho had not tho result of tho inning might
have been very disastrous to nis side.
Generally speaking, the fielding w as good.
Allen was a little off and Fields made two
very bad throws to second. Bicrbaucrmado
the most brilliant running catch of a flv
seen in Pittsbuig for a very long time He
was loudly cheered and really deserved it.
Altogether if tho fielding of tho home play
ers had not been up to the mark the visitors'
ecoro would likely have been 10 instead of
eight.
In tho first inning Hamilton, Clements
and Shindleeaeh made a single, and they
werecoikers. After Hamilton scorel Cle
ments was put out at the plate and stupid
bfleo-runninjr retired Myers at second, and
Thompson flow out. Quite a lucky inning
lor j'jiisuuig.
That Avrfnl Inning.
Ill the third inning Hamiltonagnin stnrtcd
oil" with a single and stole second. He scored
on bhindic's two-bagger.
Tlienevt seoiing wax done in tho sixth.
Clements led off and leached first on an ex
cusable fumble bj Miller. Sliindlc knocked
out a single, nnd so did Thompson. Then
Myers made a double nnd Drlelinnty fol
lowed with n triple. Brown came next with
n single, and Allen and Thornton each mado
a sacrifice Well, all this scored six runs.
The home plajers made their first run in
the sixth. Two errors by Allen allowed
Stulej to reach third, and he scored on
Hockley's sacrifice In the seventh Blcr
baucr's double, Hanlon's single and Fields'
double cained two runs, and in tho eighth
siniies by Beckley, Carroll and Bicrbuuer
and CSiToirt. steal of third earned two more
runs and no mure made. The score:

The County League Takes in a Clnb Instead
of the Acmes.
A racctinr of the Allegheny County Baseball
League was held last cicnlng to decide as to
whether or not the Acme club should be admitted
to the league. After a lively discussion It was
agreed that the Tarentum club be admitted instead
of the Acmes.
The latter club was fully Intended for member
ship at the formation of the league, but as the
managers failed to deposit the club's 50 forfeit In
time II was ruled out.
Last evening the stockholders of the Acme club
called at this office and left the following challenge:
"The Acme hall team will play any team in the
County League for 150 a side. An answer through
TIIE Dispatch will receive attention. First come
first served."
At last night's meeting it was also decided to ap
point new umpires. Messrs. Fry, Schaner and
Wilson were appointed and Sam Rose was ap
pointed substitute. Messrs. J. Palmer O'Ncll, T.
J. Kccnan and A. K. Scandrett were appointed a
board of arbitration to settle all disputes relating
to the league.

CnfAGO, May 19. Much business of Importance
to horse breeders all over the country was trans
acted by the Executive Committee of the American
Trotting Register Association before adjournment
otthe directors to-day. After a long and rather
warm discussion, the directors voted to Incor

cordance with the rules of tne Association of 2:23 or

Mr. Broadhcad, of Kentucky, was the strongest
advocate of fixing the standard of pacers at 25 and
he was supported; bv all the Western men. The
Easterners w ere in favor of 30, the trotting stand
ard. When the Executive Committee convened to
close up the business of the session it was unani
mously agreed that It was of vital importance that
some safeguard should be thrown about the reg
istry to a old any contingency of appeal from the
decision of the registrar. To effect Ihls a Board of
CMinrs was apiolnted. It consists or Lucas
Rrbadhead, of Kentuckv, W. P. IJams, of Terre
Haute, Ind., and C. F. Emery, of Cleveland. O.
Ail apjicals will be flnallv considered by this Board,
in fact they arc given absolute authority In mat
ters of registry.
Rules were a'lso adopted directing "That the vcar
book shall contain a complete summary of all har
ness races," and "That all perfosmanccs against
time shall be at a regular meeting of asoclctv In
membership with the American Trotting Registry
amwiuuu i ur uiu ..iiuuiini AruuiiiK ureeoers
Association and conducted by the regular officials
of such society." This is considered to be of more
than common note, because hitherto there has been
?'rcat uncertainty In luanv cases about the authen
iclty of records against time on account of the lack
of regulations touching the entry of such perform
ances. Of no less Interest Is the new rule "that losing
performances against time shall neither constitute
a record nor be a bar lor purposes of registration."
With referen c to the finances of the association
Mr. Brnadhcad said: "Our capital stock Is 1S0.0CO
and all but $40,000 1 taken out."
"What about consolidation?"
"Well, the National Breeders' Association is
willing enough to Join us, but it can't legally take
action In the matter until December. At that time
the re is no doubt that amalgamation will be ej
ected. "
B0 WEN WINS AGAIN.
He Defeats Myer, of Streator, In the Twenty
Fifth Bound on a Foul.
New Orleans, May 19. The glove fight between
Andy Bowen and Billy M er took place hcrethis
evening In the presence of a large crowd. The con
testants weighed In the presence of the audience,
and there was much uneasiness felt by either man's
partisans when they were ordered to their corners
to get ready for the battle. Bowen was- seconded
by Bob Farrell and the famous Tom Kellr, while
Myer w a.- seconded bj Link Pope, Eddie Myer and
Alf Kennedy.
The contest was quite a lively one for 10 or 5
rounds, Bowen having the best of It. After the
twentieth round was touglit Myer had little or no
show to win and he tried fouling. In the twenty
fifth round he deliberately fouled Bowen, and the
fight was given In against him.

from utter defeat. Not until two weeks ago did he

he again broke down w 111 not detract an; thlngfrom
the splendid reputation that he Iuib made as a

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
A QPSTMOT COAL.
The Esmeralda May Have to Take
Some by Force to Get Away,
MEXICANS COULD NOT STOP IT.
The Guns of the Kehel Cruiser Practically
All-PoTverfuL
ANOTHER STATEMENT MADE BY TRACT
New York, May 19. A special from Aca
pulco says: It scorns now certain that the
Esmeralda must have recourse to some des
perate means to secure coal, for coal she
must have if she is to get back to Chile. It
is announced to-day that the Pacific Mall
Steamship Company has ordered its agent
here not to sell tho Esmeralda any coal
undornny circumstances. -This order was
communicated to tho commander of tho Es
meralda, and it Is now thought probable
that the Chilean will take coal by force.
This is thought the more probable as
it is now almost certainly known
that the Esmeralda's captain is
now in command of the Itata, having
boarded her when the two vessels met off
this port on Friday night. Should tho acting
captain of the Esmeralda decide to take coal
by forco there is absolutely nothing to pre
vent mm irom naming 111s vessel alongside
the conlhulk and taking what he wants, for
the forts are worthless as against modern
ordnance, nnd the Esmeralda could, if
molested, lay Acapulco in ruins in a half
hour. Tho Sioxican authorities will hardly
he likely to offer any opposition to a power
ful ship like the Esmeralda nnd thus bring
a bombardment upon the town. Neverthe
less there Is intense excitement.
Views of the Now York Officers.
There is a disinclination on the part of the
offlccra of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany to talk about the company's action
touching the sale of coal to tho Esmeralda.
Vice President Houston was not willing to
stnte specifically whether or not the com
pany's agent at Acapulco had been ordered
not to sell the Esmeralda coal. Ho said, how
ever, that the only other stations alongthat
lino where she could get coal are San Diego
and San Francisco.
Tho dismantled steamer Moses TJaylor is
the coal hulk of the Pacific Mail steamship
Company at Acapulco, nnd lies at moorings a
few hundred yards from the city water
iromana airectiy opposite tne American
Cemetery. It is an easy matter for tho
Esmeralda to go alongside, and with her
crew of350 men, take on board at tho rate of
25 or 30 tons an hour. Meanwhile tho city
would bent tho mercy of the Chilean guns.
In ten hours she would hnvo 300 tons on
board. She could he unmolested, so far us
Mexican naval or military powers aro con
cerned. There are never more than 500 soldiers in
the vicinity of Acapulco, and the war vessel
Democrata is not equal in power to tho
Esmeralda's steam launch. Of course, the
Mexican authorities wouldprotest, as would
tne t'acitic mail ngent, but the protest would
be of no nvail in the face of the guns of tho
Esmeralda.
Can Be Seized in Chilean Waters.
A dispatch from Washington says: Secre
tary Tracy said to-night that the com
mander of the Charleston could seize the in
surgent steamer Itata in Chilean waters, al
though ho declined to say whether or not
she would do so, in case tho Itata
is not captured until she gets into
those wnters. Tho movemonts of
the Charleston are under tho direct
command of Commodore McCann, now on
tne liaitimore at tquiquic. lie nas largo
discretionary powers legarding the future
course of the Charleston nnd on him would
J probabl7 devolve a determination ns to
wnetner or not tne itata should do seized in
her own waters. The Navy Department
does not expect any news from the Charles
ton before she reaches Panama which is
about four days from Acapulco, Mexico,
whence the vessel sailed on Monday night.
A dispatch from Acapulco says that the
Esmeralda's officers finished buying provis
ions last night, and that it is believed at
Acapulco that the Esmeralda secretly
loaded some coal, and was to rcccivo more
this morning outside tho harbor.
THE ITATA OUT OF REACH.
She Is Bellved to Have Beceived AH the
Esmeralda's Coal.
City op Mexico, May 19. Dispatches re
ceived hero from the Pacific coast seem to
indicate that the Itata is already far out of
reach of the United States warship
Charleston. From these dispatches it
also appears that the Itata passed ontsido
of Acapulco at noon Friday last, and that
tho Charleston reached the port on Satur
day. The Esmeralda is still at Acapulco
aw aitlng coal, which it is said to have been
ordered from tho United States. It is be
lieved that the Itata received all tho Esmer
alda's coal, and that during her voyage she
will receivo more, which has been sent to
her from Chile.
A BIG 816,000 MYSTERY.
Second Chapter In That Strange City De
pository Affair Agitating Philadelphia.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCII.
Philadelphia, May 19. Whether the com
plete history pf tUp two notes for $8,000 each,
which "were discounted by tho Third Na
tional Bank as a consideration for making
the hank an active depository for the
city's funds, and which were first heard of
nt the" meeting of the investigating
committee on Jlonday, will ever be known,
remains a question with those who this
afternoon heard the second chapter of tho
story of their existence. The "some ono"
who got tho money out of tho bank,
of whom President Lewis made such a
great mystery, was to-day discovered to he
George Meyers, a director of the bank. Mr.
Lewis to-dav gave tho information ns to tho
"some one's""' identity, but when again asked
about the disposition of tho $16,000, ho re
ferred his questioners to Mr. Meyers. That
gentleman positively refusod to tell what he
did with the money.
In explanation of tho influenco which ho
was said to have had with the City Treas
urer, Mr. Meyers said that he based his idea
of influencing Mr. Bardslev on the fact that
their friendship was of 30 years' standing.
Taking example from Mr. Lewis and Mr.
said ho should await the order of tho
court before answering any queries concern
ing tho State's money, of which he is tho
custodian. And this question of obtaining
the order of tho court led to a prolonged
discussion among the members of the Exam
ining Committee ns to Its advisability.
THE MUBDEB OF T0BIN.
A New Theory Advanced to Explain the
Franklin Tragedy.
Erie, JLay 19. The latest developments in
connection with the mysterious Tobin mur
der in Franklin, establishes the fact that tho
discovery of the whereabouts qf Frank
Videto, a silver polish peddler, who is wanted
in Erie for child abduction, is likely to solvo
the mystery of how Mary Tobin's father
camo to meet his death. Mrs. Tobin and
others havo identified a photograph of
Videto as that of the man who was seen at
Tobin's house on the day before the tragedy,
nnd learned from Mrs. Tobin that the family
wero going to be away that night. It is well
established now that Videto and a pal had
been perpetrating a series of burglaries in
Erie prior to the Tobin murder, nnd he left
Erio to nvoid arrest. The theory is that
he and his pal returned to the Tobin house
for the purpose of robbing it, expecting to
find a clear coast, and' instead found Tobin,
who lost his life in his own house. Videto
has been located near Chicago and will be
arrested to-night upon orders sent from
Franklin authorities.

' ST. PAUL'S SENSATION.
KX-SENATOR RAMSEY BLACKMAILED
TO THE TUNE OF S30.000.
A Case Rivaling That, of Wilson andMoen
They Aro Coming Easy for Ex-Coachman
Wilson Nichols Money Fald to
Him on Demand.
CSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCI1.
St. Paul, May ID. A most sensational story
is printed hero to-night. It is to the effect
that Alexander Hnmsey, Governor of Min
nesota for threo terms, from 1861 to 1868;
United States Senator for 12 years and Secre
tary of War under President Hayes, has
been blackmailed out of nearly $20,000
by his cdachman. The story is as follpws:
Two years since one Wilsoni Nichols served
in tho capacity of family coachman for ex
Governor Alexander Ramsey. One morning
nfter driving the Governor down to hlsoffice
in the Germnnia Bank, of which Ramsey was
nt that time the president, Nichols mado a
demand upon the Governor for a sum of
monev.
' Thisdcmandwaspooh-poohedbythelatter,
when Nichols proceeded to dismount from
his scat and made the declaration that he (the
Governor) knew whnt had pnsscd between
them and had better come to time, Nichols
followed tho Governor into the bank and
the latter, to avoid a scene, told him to moet
him at the ofllco that evening after business
hours. Nichols did so and found present at
thatmeeting tho Governor, two prominent
attorneys and another prominent official.
The sccno was, to quote Nichols, a stormy
one, hut flnallv ended in a sum of money,
stated to bo $10,000, being paid to Nichols as
a price of his silence, and a further price to
leave the country. At this time Nichols
wns required to sign an affidavit, tho
contents of which he claimed to bo
unknown to him, nnd also to sign n
further agreement, renouncing all claims
nnd demands upon his victim in the future.
JNicnoisaiterwara loit st. rani, nrst relat
ing all that took place as detailed above and
also showing tho money received. After An
absence of something liko one year ho re
turned, and, having spent the money re
ceived nt first, renewed his demands.
Ho lived In Idleness, yet was always plen
tifully supplied with money, and in reply to
inquiry would always say that "they came
easy for him." AH he had to do wns to call
upon tno liovernors private attorney in ine
case, and ask for what he wanted. Two
weeks ago Nichols left St. Paul after
displaying a large roll of money, which he
told camo from tho samo source as his
former rolls. In ono of his confident
ial moods he exhibited a letter of
January 16th last calling him to the
ofllco ot tho Governor'attorney and inform
ing him that "everything was all right."
To a reporter who called upon Mr. Ramsey
nt the time Nichols mado his lastblack
mniling demand he would only say that
Nichols was a scoundrel and had black
mnllcdhim. TheGovernor admitted he had
been blackmailed by Nichols, but further
than that would say nothing, referring the
reporter to his attornoy.
The case is one that rivals tho sensational
Wilson and Slocn case, where Moen was bled
for nearly half a million dollars. Nichols
makes no attempt to conceal his criminal
operations; in fact, he openly boasts of the
manner in which ho is enabled to live with
out labor or money.

The Town of Frugality in Great Dan
ger From Forest Fires.
HELP ASKED FROM OTHER PLACES.
3Iany People Are Driven Prom Their Domes
Through Fear.
GREAT TEACTS OP TIMBER DESTROYED
SPECIAL TELEORAM TO TIIE DISPATCH.
Frugality, 3Iay 19. Ycsterdayovcning tho
forest fires in this vicinity camo alarmingly
near tho town, and tho flro engines from
Altoona wero sent for. A company with 40
men responded, but they could not keep the
fire down, and to-day an engino from HolH
daysburg and a largo part of tho equipment
of the Johnstown i'iro Department came.
They aro now doing good service.
This town is 18 miles from Crcsson, on tho
Coalport road, and contains 1,200 people. At
prcsont tho most intense alarm exists, and it
is feared the wholo town will bo wiped out,
as the flames are bearing down, driven by a
high wind. By much exertion tho Altoona
company last night saved-the sawmills and
lumber yard. To-day the flro shifted to tho
other sldo of the town, and tho Johnstown
company is now battling at great odds to
keep a row of 50 frame houses from burning.
The town is built right in a large pine forest,
nnd tho flames aro coming in from all sides.
Water is scarce, and tho engines cannot do
good work.
Driven From Their Homes.
Tho people have all movod out of tholr
houses. In most casesthclrhouscholdgoods
have been taken out and dumped along tho
creek or railroad, and nearly all the women
and children havo been taken to adjoining
towns, two train loads having left this even
ing. In nddition to the 80 firemen now here, the
500 miners are all at work carrying water in
buckets, dampening every inflammable snb
stance. The scenes to-night In the eastern
part of the town are terribly vivid, tho lurid
names reaching up the tall pine trees to a
height of50 feet and frequently a large tree
comes crashing down, causing the firemen to
run for their lives and then back again to
protect the burning property, the trees fre
ouentlv fnllinc rieht nmomr the houses.
The intense heat causes the rocks in tho
vicinity to burst, throwing tho red hot mis
siles high in tho air. In one house in tho
outskirts this evening a woman was nearing
her accouchement when tho flames sur
rounded the building, and for one hour they
played on the house, which was several
times on flro, the child being born while the
roof was ablaze, hut the house was saved.
Three other premature births are recorded
from excitement, two of them occurring on
the train.
Great Tracts of Timber Burned.
The loss in tho immediate vicinity is fully
$75,000. Immense tracts of fine timber have
been burned over and destroyed, as every
thing is so dry that the trees burn to tho
tops nnd the very ground is burned up. A
large saw mill and pile of lumber belonging
to Gellers & Co., two miles from here, was
to-day destroyed. A3 yet no buildings havo
been burned horo except the coal tipples of
the Cresson and Clearfield Coal and Coko
Company, which were consumed this even
ing. There will bo much suffering among
tho poor people.
At Ashville, a few miles above, there is
great danger no w, nnd the whole town has
turned out and started back fires to meet
the flames, which are sweeping toward that
place.
The whole region is lighted up, the lurid
flames leaping toward the sky, and the
dense smoke makes it almost suffocating.
AtElirenfeld and South Fork, along the
Pennsylvania Railroad, fires are reported to
be advancing on the towns.

That our own make $10 suit
can be matched anywhere
else for the money; they can't;
and we know exactly what we
are talking about when we
say it; the only way to prove
superiority is by comparison;
the more thorough you com
pare the more completely
will the superior quality of
our own make clothing be
established. You are at lib
erty to regard this assertion
as part of a contract which
we make with you on pur
chasing, and we will keep
every syllable of it to the let
ter. Can we say anything
FAIRER THAN THAT. JaclvSOnS
never go back on any an
nouncement they make in
their ads. Our Suit sale
continues a marked success.
Our own make suits at
$io, 12, $15 and $18
are sought after by thous
ands of eager buyers.
Our special guarantee to
keep such suits in repair free
of charge proves very satis
factory. We have no patent
on this, our own idea, but we
are pretty sure no house in
this city can or dare warrant
to keep the kind of clothing
they sell in repair for any
time. We do it cheerfully
whenever it is wanted, which
rarely occurs with our goods,
