tSrr-CIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISrATCII.
Cicix:kAT!, July 3. With a great lead of
four runs against them, the Beds went to
work this atternoon and turned an almost
certain defeat into victory.
Bad -work gave Pittsburg
the lead they had, nnd had
woikgave Captain Latham
the chances needed to off
set the advantage gained
at the beginning. The
battle Mas noit by the
chatterbox and Holliday,
whilo !5rowiing had a big
linger in the pic. Latham
reached first five times,
and thrice did ho score.
Four stolen bases helped
him along on his journeys.
After the rally In the third
Cincinnati t as not headed, .
li out in ine nimn n was
Jyl srand work that kept
them from defeat. Out of
Jour hits Pittsburg got but a single run, but
that tied tue score. Ilanlon led off with a
Jilt to center and stole second. Maul Mas
thrown out hy Smith. Fields drove Ilanlon
in with a beauty. Then Baldwin beat out an
inSeld tap. and everything seemed over.
The jig looked upas Millers hit bounded out
to Holliday. The "Hug" gathered it in and
like a shot sent it to Claik, who caught
Fields two feet from the plate. The crowd
exploded. Baldwin and Miller were on third
nnd second, another hit meant victory, bat
Berkley couldn't make it and sent Hollidjy
afiy.
IIow Latham Won It.
The Keds did nothing in their half and
Pittsburg got no one to base in the tenth.
Latham then -non the game. Ho -was hit in
thebackwitha wild pitch and McPhee ad
vanced him by a sacrlllce. Once more
"Lath" dove for third. Berger threw low
and the ball got past Miller and Latham
kept on -nith the winning run. "OldHos"
had a pretty roeky first inning and be was
given pretty bad support. He gave Jlillor a
ba.e on balls and hi' Beckley. Then Clark
let n ball get through him and Miller scored.
Carroll's fly fell safe into right. It Mas
Marr'sliall,"butMcPheo M-as called and he
ini?edit. Berkley tallied, Mack got a rat
tler intolelt, Hanlbn's tap afforded a chance
jor a double, but McPhee mndca fumble and
Carroll got in. On Maul's tap two Pitts
burgers were caught. Mack's single and
llanlon's triple into left Merc rci-ponsible
for the fourth run. The crowd, M-bich had
leen glum, thawed out in the Beds' half.
After Beckley hnd taken care of ladlourne
Fields Saed Latham
by a bad throw, and after he had gone to
third on a passed ball McPhee drew a base
on balls. Both men were driven home by
Holliday, who reached third on a great
drive to center. Tho Gladiator dropped in
at that moment with a two-bagger and
"Bug"' eampered home. Marr -made his
first safe hit since he left Chicago, and tho
pcore was tied. The next two men were vic
timized. .even blanks wero drawn before
another run came out of the wheel. It was
Jatham m ho made it. Fields spared his life
by a fumble, and ho stole second and third,
to the delight of the crowd. On McPhee's
slow tan "I-ath"' went over the base like a
fljh. Mack was sick and retired in the
sixth. fcore:

W0ETH A GOOD BECEPUON.
Our Sluggers tVIU Appear on the Home
Grounds To-Day After Doing AYelL
The local team are worth a good sendoff
on their return home to-day. Cndergrcat
difficulties they have won lour games out of
the last six, and yesterday's defeat M-as only
the result of a very hot argument. The four
straight defeats at Cleveland, suffered when
tile team was in a M-retched condition, Mxro
a great handicap for the boys, but they re
turn homo gloriously under the circum
stances. It is only fair to say that King and
BaldM in deserve all possiblepruise for their
splendid work this Meek, und If words of
cheers will encourage them they should not
be forgotten. Manager Hanlon has done
nobly, and himself and tho team generally
should bo accorded a hearty reception.
They meet the Bostons; very tough people,
twice to-day, morning and" afternoon.
Itcilly returned yesterday and will play short
to-dnj-. Nichols and Galvin or King will
pitch in the morning game. Stalcy will
pitch for Boston this afternoon, and prob
ably cither King or Baldwin for tho. homo
team.
Director Kerr, ot the home team, received

ENITBELY EXPELLED.
President Kramer Ousts Catcher O'Connor
From the Association.
tSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCHO
Columbus, July 3. Jack O'Connor, tho
star baseball player, was expelled from tho
American Association this morning. He re
ceived a telegram from President Kramer
notifying him of his expulsion nnd giving
the reason for the sensational action. The
decreo of the President debars O'Connor
from playing with any Association club in
the country, and ho must look to some
other baseball associaton for employment or
else quit the business.
The grounds on which tho expulsion was
made aro mot serious in character.
"Habitual drunkenness, disorderly conduct
and actions unbecoming a ball player and a
gentleman" aro the reasons given by Presi
dent Kramer for his decision. The telegram
received by O'Connor this morning came
like a thunder-clap. He had been tem
porarily suspended by the Columbus club
and was therefore in bad odor with tho
management, but he had not the faintest
suspicion of receiving such a blow. Ho was
fora time unable to understand the mean
ing of the telegram and doubted its genuine
ness. He soon satisfied himself that the
President of the Association was far from
joking.
O'Connor claims that he is entirely
guiltless of the charges upon which
his suspension is based. In regard
to tho charge of drunkenness, ho
says that he has never been intoxicated
with the exception of one occasion since ho
has played bail here. On one occasion he
admits he did get slightly under tho influ
ence of liquor. It was because ho had had
trouble with Manager Schmeltz, he says,
that he began drinking that day. Schmcltz
had Instructed him to bunt in playing that
atternoon's game, nnd O'Connor had ob
jected to doing so. In regard to disorderly
conduct, O'Connor says he had never been
guilyof any such charge. He came to be
known as something of a rowdy, ho says, be
cause of his intense zeal to win for Colum
bus, which mnde him enthusiastic and de
termined on the field. Whenever he had
trouble with other players ho says It was
because he was standing up for the rights of
the Columbus club. He claims to have con
ducted himself well in every respect during
the season so far as his private character
and bearing is concerned.

many valuablo stove patterns and a number
of stoves. Tho works M-ere In operation

TO MAKE COFFEE ICE CREAM.
A Delicious Luxury That Doesn't Cost
Much but the Trouble.
New York Tribune.
One of the most delicious creams 'we have
is a coffee ice cream. To make this cream
take two cups of sugar, the yelks of four
eggs and beat them thoroughly together.
Ponr over tho mixture a pint of boiling
milk and btir the whole for two or three
minutes. Put the basin containing this
custard on a hot part of the stove and con
tinue stirring, but do not let it boil. Take
the mixture off the fire, add to it a pint of
V sweet cream, stir again and throw in two
large tablespoons ot lresh-ground Jlocha
coffee. Heat up the mixture thoroughly
over the fire for about three minutes, then
covar the cream closely so that the coffee
can infuse through it for about half an hour.
At the end of this time, should it be thor
oughly cold, strain it through a napkin into
the ice cream freezer and freeze it.
How to Toughen Glass.
A simple method of toughening any glass
ware is to immerse it in a gallon pot of cold
water in which a half cup of salt has been
dissolved. Let the water boil thoroughly,
then lift the kettle off the fire and allow it
to become perfectly cold before you remove
the glass. When the water is perfectly cold
take out the glassware, wash it and wipe it
dry. Glass treated in this way is protected
against changes of temperature.

DEATH MASKS AT WEST POINT.
Authenticated Casts of Napoleon
and
Frederick the Great.
New York Herald.
In a glass faced, black box hung in the
officers' mess at West Point are two death
masks whose duplicates are not known to
exist in this country. One is of Napoleon
and the other of Frederick the Great. Com
mander Chad wick of the navy secured them
in London some years ago and presented
them to the mass. There- is ample proof of
their authenticity, so their startling lack of
resemblance to the popular portraits of the
dead leadersns all the more interesting.
Napoleon's cast is by far the better; the
features are natural and seem to be in a
calm repose, while the face is thin almost to
emaciation. It's a fine face, but not the face
of the Napoleon we have been taught to
know. Old Indian fighters say it is the ex
act counterpart of the face of Black Hawk.
Frederick's face is weazen and drawn and
fearfully gut of shape. It looks like the
face of a mummy.

Justice Field's Opportunity.
When I first came to San Francisco forty

Field to a San Francisco correspondent, I
was offered that triangular block right across
from the Palace Hotel for 51,500. I did not
care to own a sand hill at the price named,
and simply laughed at the proposition. Not
long after somebody wanted sand to fill in
on tho water front, and he leveled that
block without cost to the owner. Now, I
am told the point of the triangle sold last
time for ?600,000, and that a little piece on
the other corner cost its present owner
5400,000.'
Files in the "Winter.
Where do flies winter? Builders say that
in the Spaces aronnd oW chimneys great
quantities of half-dead and dead flies are
often found. They live in places of even
temperature in a semi-torpid condition, re
viving in the spring. A very few will keep
the race going, since a fly becomes a great
grandfather in a week. The fly is as Targe
when he is born as he ever will "be, and in a
few hours begins depredations.
THE ATB FILLED WITH LOGS.
A Wild Western "Way or HandUng Cord
wood That Alarms the Tenderfoot,
During a visit to-the- famous Horaestake
Mine, pays Eobcrt Grier in the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, I saw wood -piled in a very
peculiar manner; and one that was calcu
lated to produce no small amount of nerv
ousness in a spectator, at least I should
think so, judging from my own feelings. I
was in one of the buildings when I suddenly
heard a tremendous crashing outside. I
went to the door and started back on seeing
the air about 20 feet directly over my head
fairly filled with flying sticks of cordwood.
I thought some accident had happened, and
dodged back instantly.
I then learned that this was the ordinary
way of delivering wood. The timber is cut
in the mountains and hauled to a place
where there is a steep declivity terminating
in a high bluff just over the mine buildings.
The logs are then put into a chute which
they descend with great rapidity, shoot ont
over the tops of the buildings, and are piled
beyond. When one part of the pile is too
high, by a simple arrangement of levers the
end of the chute is moved to the right or
theleft, and the sticks are deflected. An
accident has never occurred, but it is cer
tainly curions to see hundreds of men walk
ing nonchantly to and fro directly beneath
a perfect avalanche of flying logs.
AN UNDERGROUND LAKE.
The Crust Over It Is So Thin Tliat Half a
Dozen Men Can Make It Quake.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
In Bibb county, not many miles from a
town called Six Miles, at a barn on the Six
Mile creek, there is a field of two or three,
acres which is over a subterranean lake.
The soil is only three or four feet thick, and
you can take a sharp pole and drive it
through to the water beneath. Half a dozen
men, jumping up and down at once in any
particular spot, will make the corn stalks
tremble for 10 or 12 feet around.
In the dryest seasons that patch of ground
is always damp, not to say wet, and it can
be distinguished from the rest of the field
by the luxuriant dark green of the com
planted on it. In one place a well has been
dug tothe water, and they say a 100-foot
line failed to' reach the bottom. The water
is quite clear and as cold as that of an ordi
nary spring, but there seems to be no cur
rent, and the local wonder is how the crust
of earth got on ton of the lake and how it
manages to stay there.

A PRIMITIVE FLY-TBAP.
Two Boards Swung Near Each Other and
Sweetened Do the Work,
St. Louis Republic
The most striking trap I ever saw was up
in the Alleghanies. On stopping at a house
I noticed two square boards, like milkpan
covers, suspended near each other from the
rafters by strings. It was found to be a fly-'
trap and the sides of the boards facing were
smeared with molasses. Wben the "long
sweetening" had lured the flies, some mem
ber of the family would sneak up to the
trap and clap the boards together and then
allow the flattened remains to fall into a
basket or tub. The latter feature, however,
was only found among the first families;
others less elegant allowed the sticky vic
tims to fall upon the floor.
I told the lank, smoke-dried specimen of
a man that I had never seen such a fly-trap,
and he replied: "The folks on this mount
ing are powerful cute on traps."
Why Swiss "Watches Are Cheap.
One reason why Swiss watches are so
