Ei'.ik, July 2C Kdwnrd Seward, tho well
known baseball pitcher, who until lately
lind been a star in the National League, is in
tills city looking for the men who pave him
tlio double cross, and as he says, swindled
him out of $l,O0J at Conncaut, Ohio, Friday,
in a 10O-yard foot race.
Seward's story is as follows: For the
greater part of lat year lie befriended a
man named Coyne, giving bini means on
which to lire. Itccently Coyno went to
Cleveland and wired Seward that he could
make some money for him on a foot race,
which he said was a sure thing. Covneisa
runner, and told Seward the man with whom
he t as to race was named Long; that he was
no match for Coyne, and that it was a fixed
thing anyway. Seward had some experi
ence with Coyne, and knew he was a verv
fat runner, and that he was in pood condi
tion, .-eward put up $400 on Coyne, then
had the race postponid in order to get more
money on him
Then the race came olf, Seward had in all
$1 000 on Covne, w Ho was matched under tho
name of Duke, and pave his backer every
assurance that ho would win or die. When
the pistol cracked at Conncaut the men pot
olT together, but Coyno at once fell behind.
When the 100 yards "were gone over neither
Covne nor his man Long stopped. Long
passed the mark first, followed by Coyne,
and both ran on to a can iage waiting for
them in charge of friendsof Long, and j ump
ing into it, started of at a furious rate and
never stopped until they passed tho Penn
sylvania Mate line.
AtGirard thev hired another buggy and
arrived here late at night. Hero all trace
was lost until Seward's arrival, who secured
a clue to the whereabouts of the pair and
started for Buffalo, intending to follow Long
and the ingrate Coyno to Canada, for which
point they are steering. .Seward is in a des
perate mood, having no law to back him,
but says he will get liis money at the point

A TERSE RECORD OF THE INTEREST
ED EVENTS OF A SATCRDAT.
A Large Number of Consumers Will Return
to Coal Tills Fall.
GRrESsnriio, July 20. The people of this
locality, in the center of tho great natural
gas belt, have about become convinced of
the failure of that fuel. A great many citi
zens will return to the use of coal by tho 1st
of October, and that being the end of tho
frnsquartcr fully three-fourths will abandon
gas. Lat fall tho Greensburg Fnel Com
pany doubled their rates, declaring that
natural pas was a luxury and should be paid
for as such. The consumers squirmed and
talked of forming another company, but
this fell throuph.
The report now is made that even the high
rates of lat year will lie doubled. The con
sumer -will be taxed $32 for a cook stove and
$1 for a urate It is probable the announce
ment will not be made until September. It
i the general belief that the gas company
ill not be able even to fill the contracts
now in force, and a cutting down must bo
mado in the list of consumers. Notwith
standing reports to the contrary, tho Grape
vine field is being rapidly exhausted; wild
catters to the north have abandoned that
field, which gave so much promise in tho
spring, and leases covering thousands of
acres are being forfeited, ratucr than to sink
a well with almost certain failure. As a re
sult of all this, coal interests in this vicinity
nro looking up, and dealers are contracting
for heavy stocks this fall.
TWENTY BOYS CUEI0USLY SICK.
A Disease Similar in Natnro to St. Titus'
Dance Attacks Them.
New Castle, July 23. A singular disease
lias attacked the boys in the Fifth ward of
this city, appearing to confine its attentions
to tho-e ranging from 12 to 15 years. The
disease appears to be similar in results to
the St. Vitus dance, the patients all betray
ing the gieatest nervousness, having no
control of their limbs, and twitching them
at unexpected times.
A young son of Joacph Hartlandi9 very
111, and it is thought he cannot recover,
while a son of Joseph Matthews and two
sons of Henry Biddlc, Noah Robinson, N.
Clark and others nro similarly alllicted with
the malady. In all 20 boys are suffering
from the strange disease, which appears to
be infectious, as the youth are all play
mates. Phvicians have another theory,
however, "fhey think one or two ot tho
boys had become stricken, and that the
otliersare now suffering from pure sym
pathy, the disease being more a creation of
their minds than any organic attack.

Near Wiping Out a Nevada Town.
Carson, Kev., July 6. A thunder
storm Friday came near wiping out the
mountain town of Genoa. About 3 P.

years ago. In a few moments a great
flood of water came down three separate
canyons, sweeping everything before it.
AVhen the first alarm was given women and
children hurried to safer quarters through
the rain, carrying their babes in their arms.
From Genoa canyon the water rushed
down in a single column 20 feet high, carry
ing the logs and boulders with. it. The
water made a clean sweep from the snow
slide canyon, leaving the rocks bare and
dashing on to the base of the mountain.

Tarmers roar That Tlicy May Tarn Their
Attention to Corn.
WAYNESBmo, July 20. Reports from sev
eral parts of Grceno county indicate that a.
great deal of damage is being dono to grains
by t.ann of grasshoppers. Oats is tho
principal object of attack,' though tho
hoppers are now turning their attention to
cutting off the blades of common grass.
Fanners are now fcaiful they roaj- turn
their attention to torn, which would result
in greater disaster as the hoppers grow
larger.
Word is received that Fayette ctlunty is
aUo buffering Jrom the depredations of
grasshoppers, though as yet they havo not
nbandoned their attacks on oats for other
cereals. One German farmer living in tho
north of Favettc county says in one day
the grasshoppers killed off 23 bushels of oats
from a vmall Held. The pcts seem to be
growing moro numerous, but late sudden
bevere rain btonnsbave rather delayed their
attacks on grain.
