Few indeed were granted the privilege of shaking hands with Mr. Berkley. The sole tally Pittsburg possessed looked as big as a barrel of cir cus lemonade. To do or die was the net thereon. Rhines and King had both pitched grandly, with thu odds in favor of the sllver h aired bricklayer from Ton der Abe's bailiwick. Ehines was the first Bed struck out. There was a shout when Latham hit into center; it was renewed as ho took advantage of Hanlon's momentary juggle and dove safely to second. "Lath" as ven turesome and he dashed away for third, making it bv a great slide. Any 80rt of a tap mrsnt a"tieJ score, but McPliee blighted the hopes by sending up a little foul for Ber ger. Holliday put out a fly to Maul and Pittsburg had another creditable victory to cherish. It "Was Great Playing. When the first vias over the crowd ex ploded, for great playing was crowded into it. Miller was 6aved by Smith's bad throw. Beckley put ns-harp one into left, and the Gladiator Juggled it until St. Jacob reached second. Carroll's fly fell to Browning, and Pete" sent the ball tn like a streak, so fast that the Calliope -n as glad to scamper back and save nis lllo. .iicrnee ran iumj buuh right and captured Bierbauer's fly, and once more Miller was held at third. Berger got in the way of a pitched ball, and the bases w ere full when Jlanlon went to bat. The Gladiator laid for his old captain down near the foul line and ho sized him up right. By a fine run he made the catch, and he shared in the victory that followed. It was "Old Pete's" turn at the bat, and the crowd re sumed whooping when his grounder slipped between Jocko Fields' legs. The error cost nothing, for Marr in attempting one of his original bunts did the usual thing. He popped np a little fly and the Gladiator was wrecked in a double. It was old Pete who shone like a four-carat spark in the third. Miller led off with a smash to center, and he reached second, while Iteilly, by a miracu lous leap tn the air, spoiled a corker for Beckley. The Gladiator Loudly Cheered. Carroll's line fly was eaten, by the Glad iator and true as a shot he sent the ball hack to SIcPhee before Miller, who had started for third, could get back. There were more cheers for the old boy. At the bat, however, he failed and Holliday, who had reached third on his hit and a wild pitch, was left. Both Browning and Marr were squelched by Beckley. After Bierbauer and Ber ger had made bits in Pittsburgh half Hanlon advanced them, but they did not go home. More throats were scraped in the sixth. Carroll waited for a base on balls. The ball which Bierbauer hit rolled slowly to Smith. Carroll kept on (printing, but before he landed at third Rcilly sent the ball over and Latham rubbed off a "few ribs as Carroll slid to his death. Mr. Rhines was in the hole before Maul got throueh vi ith him in the seventh. There ere three balls and one strike on the um pire's indicator whcD RcJntj put up a teaser Willi WlC UlWSUfclUU Ui UObLUi UUUUJCi Bbll&O on his man. Maul laid back like a man be .fore commencing on a dish of stra wherries, lie let co. There wasa noise resembling the fall of Babylon when Holliday was chasing the ball into the -needs. Maul easily made third and observing that Harrington was fumbling the throw in he- resumed his inarch and that run won the game.

HaU and Fitzslmmons Adopt a New Agree ment for Their Proposed Battle. Chicago, July 2. Messrs. Frank U. Shaw and T. Z. Cowles, of St. Paul, made their ap pearance in Chicago to-day, having spent the forenoon at Bcloit, where Jim Hall is in active training for his finish light with Bob Fitzslmmons, the night of July 2.J, the open ing day of the Twin City Jockey Club. Tho purpose of Messrs. Shaw and Cowles in visiting Bcloit was to secure the signatures of Jim Hall and Parson Da vies to an entirely now draftof tho articles of agreement. The original articles stipulated that Frank Shaw should give a purse of $12,000, of which the winner should have $11,000 and the loser $1,000. Shaw to have the privilege of nam ing either St. Paul or Minneapolis as the city in which tho contest should take place, while Fitzsimmors and Hall reserved the right to choose a referee. Then came the incorporation of the Minnesota Athletic Club, with a capital of -$50,000 and having In its list of incorporators and officers some of tho leading business men of St. Paul, among them Mr. Shaw himself, who was most act ive in promoting the enterprise. It was his original intention to turn over tho Hall-Fitzsimmons contest to the now club, and this has accordingly been done. Now articles were drawn in St. Paul and signed by T. Z. Cowles as President and John F. Baker Secretary, of the Minnesota Athletic Club, and last Wednesday Fitzslm mons affixed his signature, his trainer, Jim Carroll, albo signing as witness. Hall and Davles signed it to-day, and tho now articles arc therefore complete and binding upon all parties. In addition to transferring tho contest to the jurisdiction of tho Minnesota Athletic Club, the now articles embody the very important provision that the club and not the contestants shall select the referee. In this way the club becomes wholly re sponsible for the conduct of the fight, and it is enabled absolutely to insure a battle to the bitter end and on its merits. A temporary amphitheater Is already in course of construction in a central location in St. Paul, provided with private boxes, reserved seats and first-class accommoda tions generally. It will comfortably seat 7,000 people, and from the bookings already made it is evident the capacity will be fully tested. THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. Arrangements Made for the Single Cham pionship Contest of Pennsylvania. Tho Pittsburg Tennis Club will hold its annual tournament, open to Western Penn sylvania, on July 15 and following days, at the club's grounds on Craig street, north of Center avenue, Bellefleld. The events will be gentlemen's slnglcslind doubles; arid flrstj second and consolation prizes will bo awarded in each. The winner of the singles will be entitled to play for the Grogan chal lenge cup, which must be won three times not necessarily consecutive to become the property of the winner. This enp carries with it tho single championship of the West ern Pennsylvania Association of the U. S. N. L.T.A. The cup was won in 1SS9 by Mr. Marshall Christy, of the Sewickley Club, and in 1S90 by.Mr. S. W. B. Moorhcad, of the Pittsburg Tennis CluD. Mr. Moorhead is debarred from competing lor first prize singles, but will defend his title to the cup against tho winner of the tournament. They Conldn't Agree. Ed Klnsey, of Glenshaw, and a representa tive of Thomas Nichols, of Brownsville, met at this office yesterday afternoon to try to arrange a lCO-yard'foot race between Kln sey and Nichols. It was agreed for tho pair to run on July 25, on even terms, for $200 a side, but Nichols wanted to run at Mononga hela City and Kinsey insisted on running at Recreation Park. Nothing definite was therefore done. The parties will meet again. He Will Arrive To-Day. James P. Reed, the champion checker player of America, and formerly of this city, will arrive from Chicago to-day. He will be the guest of R. W. Patterson whilo in this city. The champion will stay about a week here, and during that time will give exhibitions of his extraordinary skill as a checker, player. MeadvIIle Bicyclo Races. SPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.J Meadville, July 2. One of the greatest at tractions here is to be the bicycle race be tween the fast riders of the county. It is to be a three-mile handicap, to start at 9:30 a. m. from the corner of Water and Chestnut streets. Thenco the race is to be along a level road, with a nice skate for the hardy ones down a sharp hill. Good prizes are be ing offered, and some excellent riding will be seen. General Sporting Notes. AM Anson'syoung men are again on top. STRATTOK is playing first base for Louisville. King Is certainly down to his old-time form now. There Is a telegram at this office for W. S. Mink, the ball player. If Maul keeps on doing his good work no other outfielder is needed. Rain prevented the Philadelphia-New York game yesterday. IT was stated last evening that Simon has been signed by the Pittsburg ball club. Gordon, who has heen recently pitching for the Climax team, has signed with the Mansfield club: If our sluggers can keep up their present gait we will have reason to think that we have a ball team. TheW. C. Duffeysand the John Fav Stars will pla a game to-morrow on the Ridge street grounds. In a game at Exposl tion Park yesterday the Alle gheny bartenders defeated tho Plttsbnrg bartend ers by a score of 13 to 4. The Hustlers, of Lawrrncevllle, and the second nine of the E. ".. Gvmnasttc Club will play at Lib erty Park to-morrow afternoon. AN excellent programme of races has been ar ranged by the Wellsville Fair Association for to day and to-morrow. Kinsman Boy will trot against urae 10-uay. Southside. Rule 7, of the London prize ring rules, provides that a man, when in a close, can slip down from the grasp of an opponent to avoid punishment, or from obvious accident or weak ness. In other words this exception allows him to go down without a blow. WELCOME TO ALL THEY WANTEB. An Oil Man Willing to Pay. for AH His Friends Asked For. A jovial party of oil prospectors Just in from the field was gathered before a popu lar bar downtown yesterday, washing the dust out of their throats with flagons -of foaming beer. One of them, after a while, announced that beer "did not seem to touch the spot," and called for whisky. Seizing the bottle he inverted it over a large beer mug and filled it to the brim. The bald and rubicund .old chap who was paying for the drinks quietly pulled off his coat and handed It to the bartender, who, thinking that the man was getting too warm, took it and hung it up, and said nothing, but when the vest was also passed over, ho evinced some surprise. The old fentleman said, "That's all right, my boy. 'm setting 'cm np, but I haven't enough money with me to buy whisky by the barrel. My friends shall have what they ask for, though, and as much of it as they want, If I hare to put my clothes up against It." M APPEAL TO ALLAH. The Arab Kipper Takes the Stand and Grows Very' Dramatic. SOLEMNLY PROTESTS INNOCENCE. His Fate Rests Upon the Talue Given to Ex pert Testimony. THE CASE IN THE HANDS OF TnE JURY New York, July 2. With the case of tho people all in, the lawyers for Ameer JBen All began this morning the taking of testimony for the defense. Ben AH, the alleged "Ripper," himself was relied upon to off-set the stories of the miserable creature being drawn from the slums in support of the de tective theory, and eminent scientists are counted upon to meet the testimony of the prosecution experts. As a matter of fact, tho whole case really - comes to this: Will a jury convict a man of a crime involving the death penalty on a microscopical analysis of dried blood made nearly two months after the blood is alleged to havo been shed, when the expert testimony as to the revelations made by that analysis by other expert testimony tends to show that thoe alleged revelations are not 10 bo relied upon. After testimony to tho effect that Ben All had no knife when arrested and sent to jail at Newton for vagrancy, offsetting the testimony of the three jail birds who swore he had. a knife while In prison, there camo the most dramatic scene of the trial. Imagines Every Man Is Against Him. Ameer Ben AH, or "Frenchy," was called to the stand. His.taH'form arose from the little group of lawyers in which he sat, and he moved to the stand with his peculiar quick, dignified stride. The worried, anx ious look, marked by the wrinkled foreherd, was greatly intensified. He looked about the room in a piteous sort of way, and seemed not to distxsu'sn between the Jurors, the attorneys whovro trying to put him whore he would lose hlsXg, tho judge or tho spec tators. He apparentrsconBidered the whole aumence, witn tne exception 01 nis lawyer, as one comprehensive group of beings who were hunting him to his death., His examination was conducted through an interpreter, and Ben All remained toler ably calm during the preliminary part 01 his examination. At last, like a man moved half to madness, he suddenly broke out into a torrent of passionate declamation. He held his trembling hands aloft mid turned his head upward in fierce appeals to heaven. Tears rolled down his cheeks, and as he stroked his head from side to side in the madness of his appeal, the tear drips even fie w off in a sort of spray. A Torrent of "Wild Arabic All this was when Mr. Friend had leaned forward toward tho rail and with great im presslveness had asked: "Did did yon kill Carrie Brownt" When the interpreter had slowly repeated this question the explosion came. It lasted for nearly a full minute before the excited man could bo suppressed. When at last the flow of melodious Arabic stopped, the tears still continued, and with his handkerchief held in a trembling hand he wiped his eyes while his breast heaved with emotion. The interpreter stated his answer to be: "Gentlemen, by the garment of Allah I am innocent. I did not kill that woman. I know nothing about how she died. I did not do it. I did not, I did not. Oh, spare my life, gentlemen, good gentlemen!" Then there was a lull in the prisoner's ex citement, only to burst forth with greater violence when the blood stained knife found near the mutilated body of "Shakespeare" was produced. He was asked if he had the knife on him when arrested at Newton. He sprang to his feet and again lifted his tremb ling hands to heaven and implored Allah to witness that he had no knile then; that no knife was taken from him then. His Emotion Breaks Out Afresh. Counsel passed the ugly looking, blood stained weapon over to him. He took it de liberately between his thumb and forefinger, and held it out at arm's length before him, slowly balancing it. Then he was asked if ho .ever owned that knife. He held it out still further from him, and shaking it swiftly "In his' httndr'saldwlth an6therJ 'outburst of passion that he had never scon it before he saw it in the court room; that it was not his; that he never owned it. Dr. Justin Herold was put on the stand. Witness stated that he was Deputy Coroner of New York City; had been connected with various hospitals, and had made upward of 2,100 autopsies. He testified that it was im possible to scientifically detormine from what part of tne human body the blood was taken. He further testified in support of the two preceding witnesses. Dr. Ileiold was followed by nenry Mott, Jr., analytical chemist of the School of Mines, Columbia College. He said that he could not swear that a clot coptalnlng tyro cln, bila-rubin and epithelial cells could be distinguished from menstrual blood. The drift ot all this testimony was to disapprove the theory of the people that the presence of the substances named, found in the blood spots examined.indicated that he must have come in contact with the contents of the small intestines. The defense rested at this stage. The case w ill go to the jury to-morrow. THINE THEY HAVE MAESH. The Fugitive Bank President Said to Be In Chicago Under Surveillance.

The train had already acquired a quick motion, and Mr. Roosevelt was thrown violently against one of the abut ments of the Iron bridge, with his right leg under the car wheels. Two cars passed over him, and when he was picked up It was found that the leg, midway between the ankle and the knee, was held together only by the skin. Blood was issuing from a scalp wound, where his head had struck the bridge, and he was also suffering from internal injuries. Dr.McBur ney, the attendant surgeon of the Roosevelt Hospital, was telegraphed for, and arrived about noon.

O.NEOF THE GREATEST TRIALS OF THE . AGE TN PROSPECT. Startling Allegations Made Against De Lesseps and His Abbettors Roundly De nounced by the Leading French Finan cial Journal. Paris, July 2. Tho inquiry into the malad ministration of the Panama Canal Company which is proceeding before M. Prinet, Coun selor a la Cour D'Appel, will probnbly be of a most protracted and comprehensive charac ter if it is really meant to make it thorough. Tho De Lesseps clique is not now themighty power It was, but it has still wide influence in high political quarters and through the press. Of course De Lesseps declares that he courts inquiry, and onlv fears that it may bo pronounced needless. He will probably get moro than he or his colleagues may desire. That part of the French public who have from the inception of the canal criticised it as a ruinous enterprise, have taken up tho causo of De Lesseps" dupes once more, and under the lead of M. Leror-Beaulieu are try ing to bring about a genuine and exhaustive investigation. The soundest and most repu table financial organ in France, the Econo miste Francaise, has denounced the Panama affair as- "the greatest financial scandal of the nineteenth century," and demands the trial of the persons responsible for the ab sorption of 1,300,000,000 francs snatched from the savings of small capitalists, many of whom have been ruined and numbers of whom are dead through despair. No inquiry, it is declared, will bo satisfac tory unless it goes back of the first attempt at "raising capital In 1879, which, ending in failure, was followed by a second attempt In 1831, when subscriptions were got on the al legation that a contract had been made with M. Cour d'Hersuet, to dig the canal throughout under forfeit of 590,000,000 francs. This contract, it is asserted, never existed, at least as a "tralte'ferme," though on the faith of it tho subscriptions were obtained. A subsequent agreement with an Anglo Dutch syndicate, on the existence of which more capital was raised, is also alleged to have had no sufficient validity. In brief, a series of agreements on the faith of which share capital was issued, are declared to havo been fictitious; many mill ions squandered in bribing the press throughout Franco to sedaco by "fallacious statements" tho small capitalists to Invest, while .millions more were appropriated by leading members of tho Council of Adminis tration having a community ,of Interests wicn certain 01 tne enirepuneurs. xneso straightforward and specific charges may become the basis of one of the greatest trials of modern times. ONLY ONE SPACE APPLICANT. Others TVill Probably Follow in Course of Time From Frankfort. Frankfort-on-the-Main, June 2. A promi nent official of Frankfort said to-day to a press correspondent: Thero appears, as yet, to be no great interest taken here in the Chicago Exhibition. I understand that tho United States Consul General here has had only one application for space, and that came from a firm at Mannheim, which Intends to make an ex hibit of Rhine wines. But this does not Srove that there will not be numerous ex ibitors at the Chicago exposition from this part of Germany.. An impression prevails here that the ex hibition will not bo ready before 1894, and that meanwhile there will be plenty of time to get ready. It is believed that Germany will make a very creditable show at Chicago, but the exhibitors will probably be slow about it and will make their entries only at tho last moment. THE KAISEB IN AMSTERDAM. He Compliments Germans in Holland for Their Double Patriotism. Amsterdam, July 2. The Emperor to-day received the German residents of this city attbo palace, and then visited the Orphan Asylum and Town HalL After this inspec tion the Emperor and his party embarked in boats on the canal, and witnessed the agnatic fete which had been organized in his honor on the Amstcl. The Emperor, responding to an address from the Germans, said: , "I have learned with pleasure from the Queen Regent that you are faithful snbjects of the Netherlands and your presence here proves at the same time that "yon have remained good Germans." At 9 o'clock this evening from ft vessel in the river their Majesties witnessed the finest display of fireworks ever seen in Hol land. BISMAECK'S DEFIANCE. He Contradicts a Statement Made by the Government Organ. Berlin, July 2-Prince Bismarck writes to the Hamburger Kachrichien that the Eeicluan zeiger, in recently denying that the Imperial Government asked the Federal authorities to use their authority to influence the news papers against him, is evidently badly in formed of the Government correspondence with the authorities of the Federal States on the subject. The Prince is understood to refer espec ially to Bavaria. Tho letter is tantamount to a defiance of the Government. THAT GERMAN LOTTERY. It TVas Rejected by the Council, but the Emperor Overruled the Objection. Berlin, July 2. The Deutsche Wocheriblatt says that Herr Arcndt, Conservative, asserts that the Council of Ministers rejected the TVissmann Lottery project, but were over ruled by the pressure of the Emperor as President. The paper adds that It is scarcely an op portune moment to issuoa State lottery, which, moreover, is intended to bo an an nual institution when Parliament has just abolished Drivate lotteries. ITALY AND THE WORLD'S FAIR. The People Losing Their Desire to Exhibit Because of Official Apathy. Rome, July 2. Tho report that the Cham ber of Commerco of Rome had declared itself against Italy's participating in the Chicago Exhibition Is absolutely without foundation. On the contrary, thero is the be.st of feeling among those who would naturaUy care to exhibit. It is, however, true that by reason of the seemingly entire lack of Interest on the part of the exhibition authorities the people of Italy are fast losing their desire to exhibit. THE ANTI-SLAVERY ACT. The Powers Still Hope to Induce France to Sign the Treaty. Brussels July 2. The delegates of the powers signing the anti-slavery act have prolonged the time ot adhesion in -order1 to give France a chance to reconsider.

Iriends of Miss Conzins Applaud an Attorney's Speech, and fiAISE THE WRATH OP THE COURT. They Are Ejected From the Room in an Unceremonious Fashion. THE CASE NOW UNDER ADYISEMENT Chicago, July 2. The climax in the suit of Phcjbe Couzins to retain tho Secretaryship of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Fair was reached this afternoon in Judge Blodgott's court. The case had been on hearing all day, and Colonel Robert Rae, attorney for Miss Couzins, was Just closing an eloquent appeal on behalf of his client. He pictured Miss Couzins' honorable career and the positions of distinction she had filled. He referred to her aged mother, who was present, as a woman who had riskedher life in defense of the Union during the war, and wound up by saying, in a voice pitched to tho highest key, "Lot justico be done though the heavens fall." This was too much for Miss Couzins' lady friends, u half a dozen of whom had sat spellbound by the eloquence of the counsel. In front of Colonel Rae sat Dr. Augusta Kim ball, a lady physician and a woman suf fragist of some repute, who had been taking copious notes of the proceedings. Behind the attorneys sat Miss Couzins' mother with Miss Bulllne, the"'' deposed Secretary's amanuensis; Dr. Lucy Waito, daughter of ex Judge Waite, and several other ladies. No sooner had tho speaker finished talking than nil the Indies began to appland with their hands. Tho hand-clapping made a great noise in the almost empty courtroom. It wns interrupted in an instant by Judge Blodgctt, who gtew red in the face and said sternlv: "Stop it! Stopltl" This is no town meet ing. Mr. Marshal, clear the room." Deputy Marshal George Jones hastened from his seat and advanced toward the now very quiet women. He walked boldly up to the row of ladies, and, waving his hand to ward the door of the court room, said with great force, "Get out, get out." The ladies rose, even to Miss Couzins' azed mother. Ex-Judge Waito was on his feet In an in stant. "1 our Honor," he said in pained sur prise at the Court's action, "you can see that the applause as only the impulse of a mo ment."' "It doesn't matter, Judge Waite," replied the Court, now thoroughly angered, "let those people leave the room." The "people" filed out, looking rather abashed. They were thoroughly frightened, but not so much so as to prevent a little meeting in the corridor. They claimed they were not used to couit-room etiquette. None of them returned to face Judge Blod gett, however. Previous? of this dramatic little ep'lsode the arguments were made. Edwin Walker, for the World's Fair Directory and Board of Control, argued that Miss Couzins never held an office, but was subject to the same rules that governed the other employes, such ns typewriters and stenographers. Colonel Rae and ex-Judge Waito made elo quent pleas for Miss Couzins, and some strong authorities were presented in sup port of their case, notably a decision of a Philadelphia court in a suit of similar nat ure, began during the Centennial Exposi tion, in which the court sided with the de posed official. Judge Blodgett took the caso under advisement. . HOME FOB AGED GERMANS. An Organization Effected Yesterday by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of tho German Protestant Home for the Aged met yester day and effected an organization. This new institution was brought into existence through the efforts of Rev. F. Ruoff. When Mr. Ruoff had instituted the German Protestant Orphans' Home, In West Liberty, he found that there were a number of aged people, not exactly poor, but without rela tives and in need of a home where they, could get proper attention. He went to work and In six months raised $10,000 for a home for the aged. A tract of five acres, with suitable buildings, was found at Fair Oaks, on the Ft. Wayne Railroad, and was purchased for $8,0C0. ItisDetween Sewickley nnd Economv and is. 16K miles from Pi tts- -burg. The place was taken possession or at once, arm a numoer 01 ogeu. -people are now located there. In the meantime a charter was applied for and granted. In it Fred Gwinner, Rev. Ft. Ruoff, John N. Neeb, John Dimlingand Matt Weiss nre named life directors. In addition to these the German Evangelical Protestant congre gations of the two cities elected as directors Louis Beinbauer, Mrs. John P. Ober, Mrs. nelena Hamm, Rein hard Dipper, Mrs. Emilie Spohn, C. F. Venter, Miss Margaret Straub, Antin Hoffmann.Trangott Obenauf, Ludwig Kredel, Adam Herchenroeder and William Euerhardt.

There were three young travelers .at Staley's Hotel last evening who were very much disappointed'with Pittsburg. They were Prof. A. R. Zita, aged 19; Mllo. Camilla Zita, aged 15, and Rocker Zita, a littlo chap of 13 years, who came all the way from Albany, N. Y., to amuse Pittsburgers. Mademoiselle Zita plays the harp with much skill, and her two brothers can draw music from their violins which is good to listen to. They nre making a tour of the country and a livelihood by, playing wherever they are allowed. They thought they would bo allowed to vary the monotony of hotel life here by playing a selection or two in the lobbies, but found no Boniface who would have any of their music. Then they thought they would have an impromptu concert on tne siuewaiK on Liuerty street, but they hnd scarcely fingered their instru ments when an officer moved them on. Thev returned to their hotel nnd decldd to move out of Pittsburg. Pittsburgers prefer the toot of a whistle or smoke of a locomotive to al fresco music by such skilled musicians. TOOK HIM FOB A FOREIGNER. A Man at the Anderson TVho Got Mixed Over the Phrase, Ad Valorem. A group of drummers was discussing trade matters in the lobby of the Anderson last evening. During the talk frequent reference -nas made to the McKinley bill and its effect on prices. The various duties -were re ferred to, and the mention of "nd valorem" in this connection was frequent. Close by, an elderly man with the bloom of the country on his cheek, listened to the conversation with apparent Interest, but with a mystified air. lie glanced from one to tho other of the traveling men as the phrase "ad valorem" diopped from their lips, and seemed lost about something. At length ho touched one of them on the sleeve: " 'Scuse me, sir, but what may be addy val oronet" The drummer addressed looked at his questioner as if he felt like having fun with him, but seeing he was perfectly earnest in his request, he told him the meaning of the latin words. "Waal, I'll be darned," exclaimed the rustic, "if I didn't think he war some of them new-fangled fellers from furrln' parts that was kep' out by the McKinley bill," and then ho went out of hearing of the drum mer's audible smllings. A NEW WALKING DELEGATE. Painters Meet and Discuss Their Internal Difficulties. Abont 300 painters of 'the unions who are fighting Agent JeweU met in the University building last night. Great secrecy was maintained and the members refused to give out the proceedings. It was intimated, however, that John E.

Two lives were lost yesterday through the railroad and two men received terrible in juries, although they will not provefatal. The list of accidents follows: McGraw William McUraw, aged about 17 years, was struck by a train on the Balti more and Ohio at the Tecumsen street cross ing in Hazel wood yesterday , morning and almost instantly killed.

David Sample, of 0 Coroner McDowell's office, visited Riverside Penitentiary yester day and investigated tho death of John Bovee, who died there on Wednesday night. Boveo had been committed from Mercer county to serve 12 years; he had put in eight of that time, and would have been out shortly by reason of commutation of time. Thero were rumors that the deceased had not received proper treatment and his death was therefore the cause. The investigation showd that Bovee had been n Sufferer from Bright's disease when ho entered the institution, and when placed in the hospital he refused to take the medi cine prescribed for him. It was also de veloped that Bovee had sufferred from dropsy and heart trouble, and these aided in bringing about his death. An inquest was subsequently held, and a verdict of death from natural causes was rendered. The Jury further found that there had been ncr-Ul-treatment in the case. AFTER A FEDERAL JUDGESHIP.

The young lady was ordered to appear before Her Majesty on the following day. When ushered into the Queen's presence Her Majesty said: "I hear you can dance the reel well; dance." There was nothing left for the young lady to do but to glance and she did it so grace fully that Her Majesty's severe face almost took a pleasant expression. After the performance was over she asked the girl if tne Queen could do anything for her. The young lady first hesitated; but sud denly replied: "Indeed, Your Majesty, you can. "What is it?"

NO GOOD HARNESS IN CHILE. That Explains Why Horses and Mules Are Not Used for Draught Purposes. The reason why horses and mules are not more commonly used as draught animals in Chile is because harness, if bronght from abroad, is very expensive, and that made in Chile of tanned leather is worthless. Con sequently horses are used only for the coach and the saddle. Chileans are extremely fond of horseback riding, and a tolerable horse costs about $100. The best of mules bring only from f 10 to 515, and a donkey the worst abused creature in Chile, yet the most hard-working and faithful can be bought for about ?3 50. vTHE TVEATHEE, J X For WeiternFotmylvania, Witt Virginia and Ohio: OeneraUy Fair,Ezcept LigU Shmcers in "Watem Ohioj SligMy Warmer, EouO westerly Winds.
