THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, TUESDAY, JULY 28. 1891 JUST EASY ENOUGH Unr Sluggers Down the People From the Ham Territory in a One sided Contest, BALDWIN WAS IX SPLENDID FORM. Khines Was a Comfortable JIark for the Dome Jlen and They Banged Out the Leather. J. PALMER 0'EIL'S STATEMENT. Eesnlts of the Leading Ennninp Kaces General fcporting Xewfi of the Day. Testerdaj-'s League Games. Pittsburgh 10 Cincinnati 1 Chicago 14 Cleveland .. 8 Boston 8 New York 3 Philadelphia 10 Brooklyn 3 Yesterday's Association Games. Washington 3 Athletic 0 Baltimore.......... 5 Boston 3 St, Louis ,9 Columbus 8 Cincinnati 8 Louisville 2 Whenever our sluggers win tho patrons who -witness the contest wonder how in the world they ever lost a game at all. Yester day's game at Exposi tion Park was one more proof of the above statement. The local team again tackled the aggrega tion from Cincinnati including tho peren nial attraction Arlie Latham. But the nine from the city where hams are plentiful, or at least ought to be, were beaten by the modest score of 10 to 1 And it was that kind of a defeat that caused the 1,187 people who saw the contest to onder how In the name of everything human the Beds could ever get a game at all from the sluggers who hail from Tittsburg. Of course in yester day's argument the fellowi from down the Ohio were not in it by any means from start to finish. TIIE WOXDEE EXPLAINED. But the wonder already referred to is easily explained. As a rule when the home talent win a game they put up a fine article of ball playing, and naturally people who see thom win see them perform in a way that would down almost anvbody. But the trouble is that this form is not sustained. For instance, the team played as fine a came as anv nine could play. Baldwin pitched, and to say he was a "corker" is a very mild way of qualifying Mark. His associates did the trick in every instance but one, and that was when Slack tried unsuccessfully three times to pick up a bunted ball from Latham's bat. As a result Latham got to first, but the error did not figure at all as far as run getting was concerned. Well, playing such as yesterday's on the part of the home plavers if kept up day alter day w ould have victorious results, irrespective of what is called "baa lucK" appearing now and again. "Bad luck" will no more down a good team than "good luck" will cause a blind man to hit a target every day because bv accident he hit it on one occasion. In short, when our sluggers win they invaria bly play up to form, and when they lose, even with the best of teams, they are Inva riably far away from tneir own standard of ability. """Manager nanlon was in charge yesterday, ahd :tis likelv that he will remain in charge until he has shown conclusively that he Is not the man for the place. That would be the fairest way out of the difficulty. Yester day he remained on the bench because he has "been far from well during the last few dars. Moreover, ho wanted to gt-e Newell a trial at third, and also toglve Beilly another try In the outfield. The batting order was also materially changed, and the change also worked well. Certainlv little Shugart, who led off, did his part -n eli; as he had three lilts and two runs. THE FINISH WAS ALL EIGHT. IlBut all is well that ends w ell, and it may not be amiss if the same arrangement is con tinued until it is found out whether or not Newell Is a third baseman for the local team. He wasn't tested yesterday by any means. Khlnes evidently is losing his power, be cause the time was, and not very long ago, when no team had license to trim him up in such a way as he was trimmed up yester dav. In two innings eight hits were made off'his delivery, that is lour in each inning, and nine runs were made in the two in nings. If lthines was the Khines that he used to be this ould not have been the case But he may be out of form only temporarily as he, during the last five Innings, pitched in admirable form. The contest was really over in the first inning, The home players made four big runs, and they stood like a huge mountain in front of the visitors. Shugart led off with a. kind ol scratch hit to the infield, and he got safelj to first. Reilly sacrificed him to second, and then Beckley knocked out a fly to Halligan. The latter not only muffed the fly but he made a bad throw to third, -which aflowed Shugart to score, and then Latham made a w ila throw to Harrington, which allowed Beckley to get home. Mack next came to the bat with a two bagger to right field and got to third on a passed ball. 510KE RUNS VTEKE 5IADE. Carroll was easily put out at first by Long John Reilly, and Miller made a safe infield hit scorinc Mack. Miller stole second ou a muffed throw by McPhee and went to third ontheerior. He scoied on the single of Blerhauer to right. In the fourth inning Bierbauer led off with a good single and got to second on a safe bunt bv Nonell. Baldwin made a ground hit to Khines and the latter threw the ball to Latham to head off Bierbauer, but Latham muffed the throw and Bieihauer was safe, bhugait's simile then scored Bierbauer and New ell and Kelllv's sacrifice scored Bald- Win. Becklcy's sacrifice and Mack's second two-Dagger scored .aimer and iiccKley. an tho nintu inning Beckley made a single and reached second on a fumble byCuitis. A sacrifice each by Mack and Carroll scored the run. The visitors made their only run In the seventh Inning. Smith led off and made the first hit in the game. Harrington's sacrifice sent him to second and another sacrifice by Uhines sent him to third. He scored on a single over second base by McPhee. Mc Quald umpired a good game. The score: riTTSBUKG.

The President of the Local Clnb Says a Word or Two in Defense or HimseUT and Derogatory of Manager Hanlon The Official Claims He Is an Injured Man. To the Sporting Editor of the Dispatch: Dear Sir It has always been my custom to pass unnoticed reporters' unfavorable comments of my management of baseball, but so many misrepresentations and mis statements have been made, of late, some of which are from the pen of unfriendly re porters, that I have deemed it advisable with your permission to give a plain state ments of facts. It has been continuously stated that I have interfered with Manager Hanlon in his management and control of the team, and that the fines imposed upon Pitcher Baldwin were remitted by me, and for this reason Hanlon had no control of his men and loss of games was the result. r The facts are these: At no time since Man ager Hanlon took charge of the team as managerhas any fine ever been remitted by me or by any other officer of the club, and neither has any player been signed or re leased, with the one exception, Xewell, who has only played one game, been employed or released without the approval and con sent of Manager Hanlon. In no instance have I ever suggested to Mr. Hanlon, with one exception, any change in his batting list, nor have I ever known previous to purchasing tho score card. purchasing tho -n ho was to juit -nho was to be represented in the team. It has been stated" that Mr. Byrne, during his recent trip here, was com pelled to personally visit the different news paper oftlces and pay for advertisements. This has been published to show that I have not been liberal in local advertisements. In justice to everyone connected with our club I will state that the entire advertising of the club was placed in the hands of Secretary Scandrett at the beginning of tho .-eason.and while I have not approved at all times of his limited method of advertising, still I have never dictated or indicated to him as to the amount of money he should spend with the local papers In advertising. I have been ac cused by one unfriendly reporter of misrep resenting the price pa'id for Shugart's re lease. I have never said to any reporter what Shugart's release cost the club. ' I did say, however, that his services for the bal ance of the year would cost the Pittsburg club about $5,000, and I am willing to stand by that statement. As Manager Hanlon lias been made tho subject of so much comment in the papers, and as the Board of Directors have on several occasions in my nbsence In dicated their belief that Mr. Hanlon, as manacer, had been interfered with by me, I hercoy challenge Mr. Hanlon, over his own signature, to state one siucle instance where in I have remitted a flue imposed by him or released or employed a playor In opposition to his wishes. I do not wish this challenge to be answered bv heresay, but I desire that Manager Hanlon shall, over his own signature, state the occasion under which he was Interfered with nnd the de tails of the Interference. That the Presi dent has been interfered with by the Board of Directors no baseball man can den-, and I am divulging no secrets of the meetings of the board when I state that the first meet ing held by the Board of Directors after tho opening of the season, April 22. was held on May 28, at which time the club stood in sec ond place in the League race, only a few points behind first place. It was on that day. May 2Sf in the evening after I had gone home that the Board of Directors met at the Anderson Hotel and passed a resolution to the effect that President O'N'ell could not employ or release any ball players without the consent and approval of the Board of Directors. The team went East on their first trip on the morning of May 29 to play Decora tion Day In Brooklyn. They won the morning game, lost the afternoon game; lost three ont of four with Philadelphia, lost three out of four with Sew York and four straight with Boston. While these losses and appaient demoralization of the team were going on, some of the directors asked me to go East to see what was tho matter with the team. I stated that with out tb,e power to release or employ new men there was no use of my going. It' was, I think, on June 5 that the board had another meeting in my nbsence and revoked their resolution oi May ). nnu gave me mu charge of the team. I went East' and found n good aeai oi uemoruization in rue team. Tho manager was insubordinate to the Presi dent and the players were insubordinate to tho manager, and from that time to the present the Board of Directors have practi cally run the team. In regard, to Manager McGunnigle, the question of a new manager started on tho afternoon of July 4 at a meet ing of tho board held at the ball grounds. It was unanimously decided, nnd I called tho yeas and nays on the motion, every member voting vea. that if Thomas Burns, of Chi cago, could bo secured as manager, that the President and Mr. Autcn, of Chicago, Tie ap pointed a committee to contract with him. 1 left for Chicago on Sunday evening, July 5, and on that next afternoon had an inter view with James A." Hart, President of the Chicago club, which resulted in securing the privilege from President Hart to negotiate w itli Mr. Burns, and negotiations progressed for something over two days at intervals, and finally resulti-d in Mr. Burns offering to come to Pittsburg for a salary of $3,500 peryearand I per cent of the profits. The board were not unanimous in paving this price for a mana ger at first, and when they finally agreed to accent ot Jlr. Burns' terms, ne was not will lng to come. At a subsequent meeting I was author ized by the Board of Directors to open negotiations with W. 'H. McGunnigle, of Providence, K. I. These negotiations ended by my accepting the terms of Mr. McGunnigle, and authorizing him to draw upon the club for $200 of the advance money ne was to receive. He resigned his position in the Providence club, made draft on the Pittsburg club for $200 and came to Pittsburg, arriving here a lew hours after I had left for Cleveland. Tho hoard had, a luccuug me uav loiiowing .air. mctrunni g'e'g arrival, got Into some mix up with him, and rejected or repudiated my acceptance of his terms, allow ed his draft upon the club to go to protest, and turned him out to do as best he could. This seemed to me unfair to Mr. McGunnigle, and upon Inquiry, find ing that the difference between the direc tors was a trifling matter, I completed ar rangements which corresponded with the terms authorized by the board and placed Mr. McGunnigle in charge of the club. Secre tary Scandrett on the day of the return of the club from Cleveland gave each plaver a notice to repudiate my orders and to report to Manager Hnnlon. This is suhstuutlally anu accurately the way matters stand at tho present time, and, as no legal meeting of the Board of Directors can bo called for several days, matters must stnnd this way until a board meeting can bo had. The draft made upon us by Mr. Mc Gunnigle, and (discounted by him in tho East, lies under ptotest to-dav, and Mr. Mc Gunnigle is dishonored at his "home. As has always been my custom, whether Individ ually or president in representing a corpora tion, I propose to make my signature cither individually or as President equal to what it. aumorizes, ana it tne I'ittsuurg Baseball Club.Tepresented bv a legally-called meet ing of the board, refuses to honor Mr. Mc Gunnicle's draft of $200. 1 shall rav the same, out of my personal account, and chaige to loss and caln. In roforrlng to the meeting held on May 28 by the board of directors at tho Anderson Hotel after I had gone home, in which they deprived me of powers and privileges granted me in the bylaws of tho company, I omitted to state that on the fol lowing day I prepared mv resignation as President of the club, and was only dis suaded in handing the resignation in by one or two members of tho Doard, who have since turned traitor to me and have joined hands with the element in the board of directors who have always stood ready with dagger in hand to stab me in the back. J. Palmer 0N eii VON DEE AHE IN IT. He Says That Pittsburg Will Have Some Association Stars Next Year. rSrCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus, July 27. Jack Easton, the Co lumbus pitcher, who was recently released by the Columbus management and who had accepted the terms of the Boston Associa tion club, to-day signed ro pitch for the St. Louis Browns. There was some bitch in re gard to the advance money to be paid by Boston, and Comisky prevailed upon him to join St. Louis. Jimmy Donelly, the Omaha third base man, joined Columbus to-day. He will re place Kuehnc and pla3 with the team In the series of exhibition games booked In Ohio mis weeic. ivuenne wm not oe released un til it is demonstrated that Donnelly Is the better man. President Yon der Ahe was interviewed to-day regarding the move of the American Association in securing a three-year lease on Recreation Park grounds at Pittsburg through J. Earlo Wagner. He said: "It means just w hat tho dispatches state. There will bo an Association team in Pittsburg next year and one of tho biggest stars in the National League to-day will manage it. President O'N'ell, of the Pittsburg Club, was the cause of all the trouble between the As sociation and Leuguo by stealing Bierbauer last spring and we propose to fight him In his own city. The Association will show the people of Pittsburg what a good article of ball we can put up for 25 cents as against the imitation furnished by the Pittsburg club for 50 cents." Jack Crooks and Charley Duffee, or the Columbus club, Uwlay signed a contract to accompany Comisky to the Pacific coast next winter. Comisky said: "Ward and Ewing want to go, but I don't want them. I am on the lookout for ball players who have something beside a past reputation." May Meet To-Day. It is likely that the directors of the local ball club will meet to-day and settle the squabble now existing. It was stated yes terday that Messrs. Kca and McCallin will be home this morning to attend the meeting. It is further understood that Mr. McGunni gle, if paid the amount of his draft, will leave the city. This will certainly bo the most satisfactory way out of the difficulty, and if Mr. McGunnigle is paid his claim and Hanlon retained, the dignity of the club will certainly be sustained all round. There is no other honorable course open. The Johnstowns Won. JonxsTOWX, July 27.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS. The Germantown Cricket Team Tackle the Local Eleven in a Two-Inning Contest The First Day's Play Greatly in Favor of the Visitors More Playing To-Day. The result of the first Innings in the gamo between the Germantown cricket eleven of Philadelphia, and the Pittsburg first eleven, played at Brnshton station yesterday after noon, was 118 to 62 in favor of the visitors. The Pittsburg eleven didn't make the per centage, and will resume play in the morn ing, this being a two inning content. The weather was perfect and the grounds were In excellent condition. The visiting eleven said that tho wicket nas the best they had played on during their present tour and that the Pittsburg crease was the truest and best they had seen. The top bat ters in yesterday's play on the Germantown side wer6 as follows: G. S. Patterson, 33: A. Van Benssalear, 21; N. Etting, 18; F. H. Bohlen, 17; T. A. Biddle, 12. Tuose for the Pittsburg eleven were, F. Schwartz, 11; J. E. Horn, 14, and A. S. Valentine, It. The play was characterized tnrougnoutby splendid fielding on both sides: in fact, the visitors said it was a better game, in this respect, than any they Jiad played On their tour. Etting 'hit remarkably hard, which characterizes his playing., Of the Plttsburgs, Schwartz, Horn and Valentine played very good cricket indeed. Bowling was the weakest spot in the local eleven. The Germantown eleven, on this trip, have gmj en iwu games witli the Toronto eleven, winning one and losing one; they won their game with the Hamilton eleven, also that with the Detroits,but lost the Chicago game, thus) to date winning three and losing two of the series, with fair prospects ofsecurinir the Pittsburg game. The local eleven greatly miss the playing of Alexander Mc pherson, who is now with the Chicagos. Only- three of the Germantown regular eleven are with them on this trip. As mat ters now stand, they hold the Eastern championship, while that of the Western championship, comprising the cities of Pitts burg, Detroit and Chicago, is very close and is soon to be decided by a game between the PitUburgs and Chicagos. The time for this game is not yet decided, owing to an im portant disagreement thereto. Tho winner of this game gets the Western champion ship and will have to play the Germantown eleven In Philadelphia, September 9 and 10, to decide the championship of the league. THEY FOUGHT AT LAST. Ted Pritchard Settles Jem Smith In Three Very Short Rounds. Losdox, July 27. The Smlth-Prltchard battle for the so-called championship of England took place this evening. Smith acted suspiciously and did not seem to want punishment. The match was postponed this morning on account of the leaking out of Information re garding tho location of tho rendezvous. A new meeting place was appointed for this evening, only 30 persons being present. In the first round Smith took a decided lead. He gave Pritchard a heavy blow on the body, drove him all'over tho ring nnd floored hlta twice before ho was called. Pritch ard then seemed dazed. In the second round, however, a surprising' change occurred. Pritchard was sprightly, while Smith appeared to be weak. Pritchard forced the fighting with such effect that Smith soon showed signs of having enough. Twice the men went down, but at tho close of the round Smith was hardly able to stand. The third round was a one-sided affair. Pritchard had quite his own way and placed his opponent prone and helpless on his back. Tho display -nas far from scientific. Both men tried to settle the affair as quickly as possible. They Sign Articles. New Yorki July 27. Jack McAullfe to-day signed the articles of agreement for a fight with Austin Gibbous. He had previously in sisted on tho contest being limited to 15 rounds, to which Gibbons objected. Jack now withdraws this point.

OS SABAT0QA TBACK. Heavy Entries and Good Racing Enjoyed by a Big Crowd. Saratoga, July 27, An attractivo pro gramme of six well-filled events and glori ously fine weather brought out tho largest crowd of the season at this track to-day. It was a holiday crowd in every sense of the word. With the exception of a few white, fleecy clouds, the sky was clear. The going was good, although it must be admitted that the track was a triflo soggy underneath, and will be for several days yet, owing to tho three days of almost incessant rain. The programme, nithough destitute of stake events, was by far tho most Interest ing yet given by the association this season. The entries were heavier than usual, and tho quality of the contending horses was fully up to the average of stake days.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Butler, Pa., July 27. The special race at Homewood between J. J. Tittey's trotting stallion, Vespasian, and C. M. Boot's pacing horse, Mac, for a purse of $2,000 at the recent Homewood meeting in which Vaspasian won, did not convince Mr. Root thnt the Millerstown stallion was superior to the Butler gelding, as he has since issued the following challenge: "I hereby challenge J.-J. Tlttey to match my horse JIao against his horso Vespasian for $1,000, the race to take place at the September meeting at Pittsburg, and the money to be deposited in the Millerstown Bank within five days after this challenge is accepted.

At the village of Peters ville, eight miles southwest of this place, three races were run on a third of a mile track last Saturday. In the free-for-all Christ Stlchner's pacer, a Butler horse, with a record of 2:23, was entered, and so much of a favorite the local sports placed all their money on it. They returned in the evening orest-fallen, having been beaten at their own game by a ringer from Etna, which won the stake with apparent ease. Tho best time was 2:15, which was better than was expected owing to the condition of tho track. The other races were run by roadsters and were slow and featureless. An effort is being made to arrange a race between the x.inu ana imuur nurses, to taKe place at tho Butler race track within a few weeks. Racing at Apollo. Apollo, July 27.

MANY OFFICES TO BE ABOLISHED. The Vatican Is Compelled to Economical Measures. Adopt NO SUMMER VACATION FOR CARDINALS. BOME, July 27. It is announced that the Italian deficit for the year 1890-91 is over 78,000,000 lire, notwithstanding all the economies introduced. A council of the Ministry was held a few days ago to formu late the instructions for opening the nego tiations for the commercial alliance with Germany, Hungary and Switzerland. The negotiations at Berne will be simply pre liminary and will be limited, for the pres ent, simply to an exchange of views on the subject of the tariffs to be agreed upon. The final negotiations will take place in the autumn. To further diminish the expenses, as al ready announced, a reduction will be made in the salaries of various diplomatic and consular officers. The salaries of the Ambas sadors at Paris, London, Arienna, St. Peters burg and Berlin will be reduced 15,000 lire. The Ministers at Madrid and Bavaria will suffer a reduction of 5,000 lire. In addition there will be a reduction in the salaries of nearly all the foreign Ministers. The num ber of consuls will be reduced, and those who are retained will receive decreased sal aries. It is also announced that 13,000 men who were lor economical reasons to have re ceived at this time an unlimited furlough, will for sundry reasons not be retained in the army for the present. The recent heavy losses at the Vatican have compelled a series of economical meas ures also. A commission of Cardinals has been appointed to study economies, especi ally with reference to the Pontifical army. The Swiss guard will not be reduced, but instead the gendarmes and the Palatin guards will be reduced byeaving vacant the places of the house. The Cardinals find themselves also obliged to submit to economies. The Pope is inex orable on this subject, and says that it is necessary to make great exertions to remedy the disasters that have befallen the treasury, and especially the St. Peter's pence. The Pope adds that he remains in Rome during the heat of the summer, and thnt the Car dinals can as well endure the heat in their tnrn. Several of the Cardinals arc dissatis fied with this forged residence and labor, but they must, ol course, submit. In response to dispatches from the Italian residents of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia asking their Govern ment to take an official part in the Chicago Exposition it is announced that the Gov ernment will favor exhibitors all that it is possible, but it, as a matter of principle, can take no official part, EXPELLED FROM THE HOUSE. Sir. Atkinson Was Compelled to Dine His Friends Elsewhere. IiOifDON, July 27. During the course of the day's session in the House of Commons Mr. Henry John Atkinson, member of Par liament for Boston, was expelled from the House for a week for charging the Speaker with abuse of power in placing in the records of the House the state ment that he had frivolously challenged the accuracy of divisions. As the expul sion includes enforced absence from the precincts of Parliament, Mr. Atkinson was obliged to submit and take eijjht American gentlemen whom he had invited to dine with him at the House of Commons to the Union Club. r In the House when the prisons vote was under discussion, Mr. Parnell claimed that certain convicts under life sentences, espe pecially John Daly, should be granted amnesty or else treated as political prison ers. Mr. Parnell said that it was a grave blot on the nation to treat men like Bgan and Daly as ordinary criminals, adding that in the special case of Daly there was every reason to believe that he was not guilty of the charge of being in possession of dyna mite with intent to cause an explosion. Sir William Vernon Harcourt opposed anv relaxation of the sentence passed upon John Daly, and Mr. John Redmond urged that further inquiry into Daly's case would prove that the prisoner re ferred to was the victim of a conspiracy upon the part of Irish Eolice agents. Sir Henry Matthews, the tome Secretary, replied that the "alleged proofs of innocence" had already been ex amined and they had been found to be in ventions, and consequently the sentence must stand. TWO FBENCHMEN GUILLOTIHED. The Usual Parisian Mob Rashes in and Gloats at the Spectacle. Paris, July 27. The execution of young Berlaud and Dore, two accomplices of Mere Berland in what is known as the Courbevoie murder, took place this morning on the Place de la Roquctte. The usual crowds of people had gathered last night and very early this morning, on the famous Place de la Koquette, where all Paris executions by the guillotine take place. Berland walked calmly to the guillotine, but a desperate struggle took place on the scaffold, and the doomed man fought like a demon. Finally the executioners suc ceeded in forcing the criminal down upon the bascule, and from there slid his head under the kmte. Dore did not make any resistance. The execution of the two men occupied only eight minutes. Mere Berland nad been granted a reprieve. After the execution a mob of spectators,with a combined mighty rush, broke through the cordon of police and, rushing up to the scaffold, gloated over the blood-stained ap- Earatus, some of the most depraved taking a andi'ul of sawdust away with them as a souvenir. WESLEYANS AGAINST GAMBLING. The President of the Conference Makes a Statement on the Subject. London, July 27. The President of the Wesleyan Conference to-day made an authoritative statement of the views of the church on recent 'social scandals. He con demned the doctrine that while cheating was wrong, gambling was right. The Wes leyans, he said, held that the wrong began with the gambling, whether the games of chance were practiced in aristocratic or stock exchange or commercial circles. It was a disgrace to any class of the communi ty, leading to lamentable consequences. Churches ought to unite and obtain legisla tion to check the evil. The President also suggested that nmoncr the means to be taken to prevent gambling is that ol preventing tne newspapers Irom printing advertisements directly tending to promote gambling. In conclusion' the President said that many thousands of Christian voters deUrmine'd, at the coming general .election, to put moral questions above party considerations and would re turn men free from moral stain. CUBI0TJS TTJBKI8H DISPLAY. Another Contribution for the World's Columbian Exposition. Paris, July 27. An interesting collec tion from Asiatic-Kussian provinces is being exhibited on the Champs Elysee here, which will be taken to the World's Fair in Chicago, if facilities for its display are given. The exhibition is. in charge of General Annekoff, ion of the Princess .D'olgorouki, morganatic wife of Alexander ILL, who is the head of the great "Trans-Caucases," the railway into TurK estan and Afghanistan. The collection comprises natural products of Central Asia and arms, clothing, jewels and household articles of the various prov inces as well as a panorama of a battle in Turkestan, with scenic illustration of the snow-capped mountain. FORTY-THREE BODIES TAKEN FKOM THE WRECK OF THE FRENCH EXCURSION TRAINS. Heartrending Scenes at the Honse Where the Bodies Were Taken Thousands of People Assembled in the Vicinity The Cause of the Disaster. Paris, July 27. The Town Hall of St. Mande presents a fearful spectacle. The blackened bodies of the dead lie in rows upon the floor and upon the tables in the building. In some cases the remains are but little more than heaps of cinders, inter mixed with portions of limbs and fragments of people who were but a short time before laughing, chatting and singing in jovial contentment. One pile of charred limbs and human cinders was especially conspicu ous, as it consisted of amass oi unidentified and unconnected bodies placed in a heap. Le Paris this evening states that an in vestigation which has been made into the railroad accident has disclosed the startling fact that the disaster was intentionally caused bj some unknown miscreant who de liberately altered the signals, so as to bring the two trains into collision. This an nouncement has caused the most intense in dignation among the relatives and friends of the victims, and has aroused popular feeling generally to a state of great excite ment. There seems to be little doubt as to the fate that awaits the cowardly wretch who caused the loss of life should he fall into the hands of themourners now gathered at St. Mande. The majority of the victims were women and children. The wrecked carriages con sisted of one first-class, two second-class and a guard's van. The first was completely shattered. The work of rescue proceeded slowly during the night until dawn. People then began to flock to the scene by thousands, many seeking friends who had not returned from the fete by daybreak. There were 20, 000 persons around the station, and the schoolroom and town hall, where the bodies of the dead were lying, were besieged by distracted people. A man searching for missing relatives suddenly came upon the bodies of his wife and daughter. His cries attracted his brother-in-law, who in turn recognized a grandchild lying dead, and learned that his wife and his mother were in a hospital dy ing. A man who for a long time had been rushing about half-demented seeking his family stopped a litter entering the school room and found that it bore the charred bodies of his wife and baby? the latter being only a few months old. Five of this man's children were on the train,and only one was rescued alive. The bodies of the others were picked from the debris, An inquiry into the causes of the acci dent shows that the second train left Vin cennes at the regulation interval of five minutes after the first train. The latter train was delayed at St. Mande, owing to an enormous crowd of excursionists. The sta tion master at Vincennes blames the driver of the second train for the accident. When this train was starting the station master advised the driver to go slowly as there was a train in front of him, but the man paid no heed to the advice and went ahead at full speed. The driver now asserts that he has been the victim of an act of revenge on the part of some one who severed communica tion with the Westinghouse airbrake, thus preventing him from bringing the train to a standstill. A leading official of the railway blames the public for crowding into the rear van, which, he says, was intended to remain empty. The greatest number of dead were found beneath the ruins of this van. From this source of the collision the engine mounted to the top of the rear van, crushing it to fragments. An official statement makes the number .of dead 43 and the number of injured 104. EEA5CE ART) AMERICAN F0SX The Senate Will Pass the Rescinding BUI When It Resumes Work. Paris, July 27. Deputies interested in the withdrawal of the law against the im portation of American pork, concur in the opinion that the Senate will pass the re scinding bill adopted by the Chamber of Deputies as soon as Parliament resumes work. The Senate committee's decision against reporting the bill at once is not connected with any opposition to rescinding the law. The sole question is whether it is prudent to put that part of the tariff relating to pork in force before the whole tariff is re ported. COULD INCREASE SOVEREIGNS. An American Alchemist Fails to Victimize a London Jeweler. London, July 27. At the Old Bailey to day Edward Pinter, alias "Sheeney Al," the American "alchemist, pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to obtain ?40',000 from Edwin Streeter, a jeweler of Bond street, by false pretenses. He claimed that he could convert a sov ereign, or any number of sovereigns, into a piecs of gold three times its weight. He was sentenced; to three months' imprison ment. Koch Going Into Bacteriology. Berlin, July 27. Prof. Koch has left to Drs. Bottkin, Pfuhl and Kilasato all further research into the cure of tuberculosis, and will devote his whole time to the super vision of the Bacteriological Institute. CHINESE DEPREDATIONS. I They Eoot tho Missions at Several Places in San Francisco, July 27. Advices just received from China give particulars of fresh depredations by the Chinese against the missionaries. The latest attack was made at Yankao on -June 29, when the Cath olic mission was methodically looted, the crowd passing things from hand to hand in a chain. The buildings were afterward set on fire. A few days previous four chapels were destroyed in Kiangsi, near the city of Fuchow. The cnapei, school and residence of the priest were looted and burned on June 26. On the same day some predatory bands completely destroyed a French or phanage at Haimen. There is a rumor in Canton that a disturb ance has taken place in Fukien Province. It is stated that the rebels are several thou sand strong and have captured a city. The intelligent Chinese, he adds, think it will be difficult for foreigners in Canton to escape. A junk containing ' three merchants, a crew of seven, and nine passen gers was attacked shortly after dusk by five junks containing armed men, on June 15, off the port of Kingho. Two of the pas sengers were killed, two were shot and three were stabbed so seriously that they died within a few minutes. The remainder jumped overboard and after swimming some distance were rescued by a fishing boat. The pirates seized the junk and sailed away with her. FIRE RECORD. An alarm of fire was sent out yesterday from Allegheny, box 37, for a blaze on a a roof on Kcbecca street. The business part or the town of Blair, Trempeleau County, Wis., burned yesterday afternoon. Loss, $50,X to $75,000, About 10 o'clock last night an alarm was sent in from box 93, for a Are at the Eliza furnace, Frankstown. Several cars loaded with hot slag took Are and spread to a trestle nearby. A plug stream was put in to service by Watchmen Haas and Colman, and by good work they had the fire ex tinguished before the fire department ar rived. The damage done to tho cars and trestle will amount to about (500. BECOMUG DESPERATE. Hungarian Strikers at Steelton Place Ties on the Track. TEY TO STOP A TBAI2, FORCIBLY. Dissuaded From Their Purpose by English Speaking Workmen. .BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT OF WINNING. rsrzciAL telegram to the mspATcn.i ' Steelton, July 27. The labor situa tion here becomes more strained every hour and the excitement is simply intense. The borough is being flooded with Pinkerton men, and this afternoon the Councils appointed ten additional officers, while Sheriff Keller, sharing in the general alarm, has increased his force by 25 newmen. The closed season for saloons expired this morning, but .Bur gess Heagy promptly issued another proc lamation ordering them to close and to re main .closed until he gives them permission to reopen. Early this morning a band of striking Hungarians received a report that a number of their fellow countrymen from other parts of the State were to be brought into the mills on the working train in the morning. This train usually carries from 200 to 300 passengers, and the excited Hung placed a pile of railroad ties on the track and set a red light on the obstruction, threatening to kill any one who removed it. They said they wanted the train to stop long enough to compel their fellow countrymen to return, but if the trainmen failed to see the red light, and to stop the train before it was wrecked, that would not be their fault. The Huns were armed with clubs, staves and iron bars, and were in an ugly mood. STOPPED IN TIME. The English speaking workmen heard of the matter but a short time before the train was due. They at once secured an inter preter, and after a great deal of difficulty and some display of force, succeeded in re moving the obstructions just before the work train came around a sharp curve at that point. This afternoon an immense open-air meet ing was held, at which enthnsiastic but pacific speeches were made. After the meeting fully 2,000 of the strikers, pre ceded by band, paraded through the streets of the town, cheering wildly at every step. As but a small proportion of the strikers is Amalgamated men; and entitled to relief, there is already some suffering among them for the necessaries of life. Harris burg merchants are contributing liberally to their relief, and this afternoon a procession of wagons containing groceries, etc, were driven to Steelton, and the food liberally distributed to eager applicants. Even this generous supply did not last long, and many of the men were turned away empty handed. The officials of the steel company claim to have 1,400 men at work, and many applications on file. At the "open hearth" department over 1,000 men are at work, and No. 2 furnace was fired.this morning in order to heat pre- Saratory to turning on the gas, which was one at noon. SOME DEPARTMENTS WOBKING. The small gas producers were started to-day, as were also both cranes in the rear of the open hearths, while a sufficient force of men are at work loading specials. At the frog department 16 men who had applied were compelled to return to their homes, as one turn is full, but there is not sufficient force to fill a double turn. The boiler, bridge and machine and foundry de partments have increased forces at work, and the billet mill is to start to-morrow morning, as sufficient men are listed to start and run this department. A great deal of excitement was caused by the sudden eviction of the families of a nnmber of strikers from the company's houses to-day, and the constables were hooted through the streets, though no violence was offered. A number of other evictions are to follow to-morrow. Notwithstanding all these facts, the strik ers are confident and claim to be assured of final victory. This feeling goes far toward making them good-natured, but if they realize they are running a los ing fight, the wisdom of to-day's redoubling of the guards will be seen. The men have been saving nothing for a strike, and when hunger begins to pinch more keenlyas it will to-morrow, desperate rlieasures 'may be resorted to by the foreigners, who are the most deter mined and headstrong of the strikers, and will hardly even now listen to the peace ful counsels of the English-speaking work men.
