f f rECTAl, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.''
Ni.w York, Aug. 5 The Brooklyn club
have not on :
any too many pames that tl:ey
can afford togive tlicm
away gratis. This is
just what tliey did to-
p. I It is not right to say
1 v"" t,iat all of 'he players
M aro to blame, but J.
O JJncn, Caruthers
and Foutz ought to
hac kept their eyes
open. The latter two,
especially, have been
on the ball field these
many years. It wns
callinc to the Presi-
7 a dent to see bis team
trouuen upon alter
the game was right in
their clutches. Then
again to go right in and lose the game
for the second time made the matter more
serious. In the eighth inning Mack wns
caught between second and third base.
O'Brien threw to third, but no one was there
to reccivo the halt. In the ninth Foutz hit
out a long drive, sending in two runs, but
he overran third base and was put out. As
Burns hit safely, Foutz would surely have
scored the tieing ntn. druthers pitched
effective, but the dumb playing in the
eighth inning
KNOCKED HIM CLEAN OCT.
Had be, however, covered third, which
was his play, it is doubtful whether the
Fittsburgs would have got more than one
run. As it Mas three hits were made, and,
with "Ward's wide throw, flvo runs resulted.
In the lat inning the 1,0:3 spectators becamo
excited, when it became apparent that the
Brooklyiis would pull out. butabad case of
rattles spoiled their chances.
The IVtsburgs again et the pace, sending
one run to their good iu the second inning.
Miller caught the first ball pitched at the
end of his bat, and, although W. O'Brien
made a long run to the left lield lence, it es
caped his clutches, notwithstanding larby"9
mgnjuiup. .uacKsout iroiii wiraiuers to
Foutz advanced Miller to third. Bierbauei's
high fly sizzled out of Foutz and Burns'
eager hands and Miller caiuo prancing
across the plate. After Galviu had pitched
himself out of a difficult position Keilly camo
to the rescue for the home team by making
one of those amateurish errors. Although
fchugart threw low to first base, Kinslow
would have made his base, he beating out
the ball. Caruthers again showed his ability
as a batter, he sending a line drive to left.
Ward then sacrificed, but Foutz could only
elevate a fly to Bicrbauer. Pinkneygavo
Keilly a bounder, which thelattcr picked up
in a fancy way, and, striking an attitude a la
Latham, threw to Beckley with an expres
sion, "I am nail you with my eyes closed,"
ou his lace.
KKILLY'S MONKEY PLAY.
But the ball went wild, to the delight of
Eeilly's tormentors on the bleachers, who
gaetlie Pittsburger the grand langh. On
the error Kinslow easily reached the home
plate.
A combination of errors gavo the Smoky
City team the lead in the fifth inning. Car
roll Mimed the an three times and sat down,
lteilly's bounder was traveling safely, but J.
O'Brien, altera hard run, made a remarka
ble pickup, and although lie threw some
what wild to first, Foutz ought to have re
tired the batter. He dropped the ball and
lleilly was -afe. The latter got around to
third w hen Ilanlon singled and scored ou
l'mkney's fumbling fchugart's ground Int.
It wasn't InK'd that Mi-Uunnigle should
have many happy moments, tor the Brook
lyns passed their score in the lollowmg in
ning. A single to center field brought Piiik
ncy to first base, and as Belly allowed
Burns" grounder to go through his legs,
1'inkne) got to second W. O'Brien bunted,
w Inch filled the ba-e. A terrific drive from
Giiftln'sbat hit Bicrbauer a rap on the leg,
the ball bounding out to center field. Han
lon could not recover the ball in time, con
sequently l'inkncy and Burns scored. In
the following inning another Brooklynitc
managed to make the ciicuit ot the bases.
Shuanrt mulled Ward's fly, the latter reach
ing second when Foutz hit to Beckley. A
wild pitch adanced Waid to third, and
Burns' sacrifice biought him home.
The next inning was the latal one for
BrooKiyn. Miller opened encouragingly for
Pittsburg by hitting -alely, while Mack was
presented with III st ba-e by Curuthers.
A VERY LVCKY INNING.
Bicrbauer sacrificed each a base. Carroll
hit to Pinkney and Miller ran home, l'ink
ncy threw to Ward and Mack was caught be
tween tne bases. Mack was run up close to
second w here J. O'Brien caught the ball.
Mack made a dash for third. O'Brien, not
looking, threw for third base, and as jio one
wastheic Mack reached home. Keillv hit
to Ward, w ho threw w lde to Foutz, the lat
tci barely stopping the ball with one hand.
On this plaj Carroll scored. Calvin sacri
ficed lleilly to second, w hile Hanlou's single
allowed the former to tally. Miugart's hit
did the same in Hanlon's case. In the ninth
inning Caruthers hit safelj. Ward hi' to
Gulvm, but Shugart did not touch second
base, being too anxious Jor a double plav,
which mule both men safe. Foutz's Hue
drive went mwhj past the fielders. Both
men got home, and though Foutz got three
bases, he outrun third base and was touched
out. Bums then hit satelv and O'Brien was
scut to first base on called balls. This was a
trying moment, and much was expected of
Griffin, and well did he try. He first hita
line due to left field, but it went loulbva
few lect onlj.but it was not until Iteflly
caught his short fly that the game was won.

THE GRAND CIRCUIT TROTTERS.
Another Interesting Day at the- Buffalo
Meeting The Favorites Arc Knocked
Out and the Talent Drop Their Money
The Pacers Go Very Fast on a Good
Track.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.l
Bcppalo, Aug. 5. AH the miles wore rapid
this afternoon, when tho second day's pro
gramme of the Grand Circuit meeting went
on, with a large patronage, and over a faster
track thnn the steppers had yesterday. It
was a costly day for the talent, as outsiders
carried off the two races decided and Leices
ter's chances in his class are very blue after
the postponement. Four trotters and one
pacer improved their records, two ot tho
former scoring 2:20 honors for tho first time.
Sprague Golddust's milo in 2:17 was the most
notable, as the stout son of old Lucille Gold
dust has been off the turf since 18S9, and
made his first appearance in a mile track
to-day. Belle Hamlin was not able to win
tho mile dash from Nancy Hanks, the young
er mare being evidently in much betterform
than the Buffalo Queen. Both Goldsmith
andDoblcnre on the invalid corps and other
drivers had to handle their horses.
The first race seemed a pretty good thing
for N. T. II., and the money rattled in at
about 2 to 1 on him, but he was never in
front through the four heats after Playboy
got the first in 2:19.
THE TALENT GOT LEFT.
Superior reeled off three miles that landed
him winner. A. 1. 11. was very unsteady,
but Playboy had some speed left in tho
fourth heat and Superior had to go taster
than ever to beat him, but he did the mile
without a mistake in 2:18.

Charley 1 was much the fastest of the
Eacers, and would have won in straight

showed a phenomenal burst after catching,
but was too much exhausted to finish ahead.
Robin was on his bad behavior, and Treas
urer also came to grief in the third heat.
Inomie carried a lot of money, but it could

AN OLD CAMPAIGNER; REAPPEARS.
When the 2:19 class started it was $50
Leicester and $30 for the field. Sprague Gold
dust got away in the lead and Leicester was
not able to head him in the first heat, though
ho closed from the half and was only a yard
away in 2:17. Leicester took it ensy next
time, and Jack Bowcn sampled tho brown
stallion, with Jean Vnljeap, but was not
able to do more than carry him along in
2:18. When tho starter sent them off for the
third heat Leicester was four lengths back
and off his stride. Before ho got level he
w as hopolessly behind and the Hag fell be
fore he reached it. Sprague Uolddust was
making the best he could of his adversary's
mishap, but as he came home, with Diamond
on one side, and Aline was a trifle ahead of
Diamond, in 2:18. The distance Judge re
ported Leicester out, but tho other judges
paid no heed to this and placed him last a
clear violation of the rule. The race had to
be carried over for want of daylight.

VISITS FfiOM HADES.
Peter Ziinmcr Said to Think That Satan
Calls at Ills nousc.
Peter Zimmer, a rcsldont of Smallman
street, near Thirty-fourth street, has created
quite n sensation In tho neighborhood by re
porting to have seen Satan. Mr. Zimmer, it
was stated, becamo. possessed of the idea
that Satan, or one of His imps, had taken tho
notion of visiting his house. He became
alarmed, and his wife and family were also
frightened. Mrs. Zimmerand her daughters
went to her father and on last Friday night
Mr. Zlmmor obtained the services of a po
liceman to stay in the house.
Tho officer claims to have discovered tho
secret of the nightly isltant. In a house in
the rear, he said-, the occupant of a second
story 100m was in the habit of taking a lamp
at night and moving about the room. His
shadow was thrown into ZImmer's house
and its distorted shape caused the scare.
Nevertheless, it is stated, the family havo
not returned, and Mr. Zimmer has a watch
man to guard the house.
A TBEE LOT ON THE WHABF.
The River Men Riled Up and Are Threat
ening Injunction Proceedings.
Tho excavation for a new waiting room
and office was commenced yesterday by tho
Pittsburg and Birmingham Traction Com
pany nt tho north end of the Smitbfield
street bridge, on the Monongnhela wharf.
The fact that a two-story brick building is
being constructed on public grounds has
caused protests from adjacent property
owners and river men, and it is
probable that injunction proceedings will be
instituted. Mayor Gourloy had heard noth
ing of tho proposed building yesterday and
could not say whethorthe company had an
understanding with somo alleged authority
or not, though it was stated tho traction
peoplo claimed to have been granted per
mission to use tho ground. It is probable
that application will be to the City Council
for the desired permit, though up to dato
the matter has not been mentioned publicly
in that body. '
UNDER BAIL FOE A HEARING.
Editor Joos Said to Be After tho Scalps of
Gennan Printers.
Otto ErdlIn,who was sued by John, E.
Joos, of tho" Sonntagtbote, tor malicious libel,
was arrested yesterday and taken before
Alderman McNulty. He gavo $1,000 bail for a
hearing Saturday. Hermann Lattien, who
was charged with a similar offense, has not
yet been arrested.
The defendants, it is snid, are members of
the German Typographical Union 160. It is
claimed that 33 nimilar informations will bo
made involving other, members of tho
union. '
Left Their Finery Behind.
Two young ladies, one of whom was Miss
Bessie Yemer, of Forest Grove, had a thrill
ing experience, on Tuesday. They wero
driving and their horse took fright on tho
road not far from Grovoton. The ladies
were not much hurt, but millinery and other
female apparel and accoutcrraents were
scattered along the road for quite a distance.
SOCIALISTIC WORKMEN
Will Meet in an International Con
gress at Brussels.
ENGLISH UNIONISTS STAY OUT.
They Object to the Negotiations With the
Marxist Party.
VARIOUS SUBJECTS TO BE DISCUSSED
Brussels, Aug. B. Tho Brussels Interna
tional Labor Congress, or, as it is no w called,
the International Socialist Workmen's Con
gress, will as9emblo here on Sunday, the
16th instant. In spite of tho miserable in
trigue on the part of tho rnling spirits in the
affair the meeting will bo largely attended
and important. .Xorway, Sweden, Holland,
France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland,
Hungary, Spain and Italy send delegates,
while for the first time in tho history of
labor movements Poland will be represented
and a contingent from the United States is
likewise expectod.
The following subjects aro to be discussed
at the congress: The present condition of
laws protecting workers from tho national
and international point of view; The right
of coalition; How is it secured? The inter
national aspect of strikes, boycotting, and
the trade union movement; What is the
position and duty of tho working classes
with respect to militarism?
THE HEBREW QUESTION.
Among the subjects aro tho following: Tho
attitude which the organized workers of all
countries should nssumo with regard to the
Hebrew question; how parliamentarism,
and universal snflrage can be utilized to tho
advantage of the Socialist workers' cause;
the allianco of workmen's socialist
parties; the suppression of piece work;
tne nrst 01 May international celebration to
bo concccrated to the principal of the eight
hour working dny: adoption of a general
and uniform designation to indicate all the
labor parties in the world; serious
and practical organization; internation
al correspondence between workmen;
universal working statistics; international
understanding between workers of all
trades to be secured by the creation in each
nation of a syndlcal committee and of an
international syndicate committee; by the
regular communication oi different informa
tion and by means of an international So
cialist almanac, translated In several lan
guages and appearing annually; by Socialist
propaganda agitation in all countries; pro-
pusui 10 iiuiu uio next international con
gress in Chicago in 1893.
THE ENGLISH GRIEVANCE.
The grievance of the English is that the
labor party or a few individuals whomanago
these affairs have taken upon themselves,
without consulting those concerned, to open
negotiations with the Marxist party, and
persuaded tho latter to send delegates to
Brussels. To obtain this result the commit
tee had to abandon the four rules they had
pledged themselves to enforce. Sow tho
Belgians appear as holding two mandates,
one from the Possibilists and an
other from the Marxists. Xumerous
protests were made, and finally the
English Trade Union Congress, representing
700 000 English trade unionists, decided to
abstain from sending delegates. Nor is it
likely that many individual Engish societies
will be represented, as a circular Issued by
the Brussels Committee appears to be
worded with tho express purpose of keeping
trade unionists away. The congress is no
longer called the International Workmen's
Congress, but the International Socialist
Workmen's Society. Tho trade unionists
who ire not Socialists may therefore feel
themselves no longer concerned.nor is there
a conciliatory sentence in the circular or an
argument for a reason given to induce trade
unionists to come.
MISTAKEN GEEMAN DIPLOMACY.
A Letter From Prince Bismarck Which
Will Excite Comment.
Paris, Aug. 5. The visit of tho French
fleet, the Cronstadt, and the enthusiastic re
ception accorded the French officers by all
classes of Russian society from tho Czar
downw ard, has, as is well known, been made
the subject of much public and private com
ment as to the actual status of the rela
tions between Russia and France and as to
the probable effect of an offensive and de
fensive alliance between the two nations.
The newspapers have published many
letters on tho subject, but a letter, which
appears to-day, if written by tho alleged
author, is likely to cause tho subject to be
discussed at still greater length.
The Figaro at this city has in its columns
to-day a letter alleged to have been wiitten
by Prince Bismarck to the Russian leader of
the German party in St. Petersburg. This
makes the German ex-Chancellor declare
that the visit of the French squadron to the
Cronstadt would not havo occurred had ho
remained in power. The visit, the letter
sas, was tho result of threo gross mis
takes of German diplomac3". The first mis
take was the visit ot tho Empress Frederick
to Pnris; the second was the renewal of the
triple alliance which was divulged with such
eagerness by Emperor William, and the
third was the Emperor's noisy visit to
London.
GEBMANT AND THE FAIB.
The Commissioners Meeting With Success
In Securing Exhibits.
Berlin, Aug. 5. Minister Phelps has been
looking over tho Royal Museums and pri
vnte art collections hore in order to find
some paintings or other articles relating to
Columbus, which might be secured as inter
esting contributions to the World's Colum
bian Fair. But except a book printed in
1550, containing a likeness of tho Columbus
medal struck in honor of Cortez's conquests,
and n few rapiers supposed to have belonged
to Pizarro's men, no relics of Columbus or
the other American discoverers have been
found.
Tho committee had another conference to
day with Hcrr Wermuth, the German Im
perial Commissioner to tho World's Fair, In
regard to tho details concerning the German
oxliibits. Tho conference lasted for 3
hours. During the course of the conference
Herr Wermuth referred to the space that
would be necessary for the use of the Ger
man exhibitors. The committeemen aro
still the recipients of much official atten
tion. This evening a dinner wns given in
their honor by Dr. Von Boetticher, Secre
tary of the Imperial Home Office. Among
the guests who were present at tho banquet
were General Von C'aprivi, Chancellor ot the
Empire; Hon. William Walter Phelps, the
United states Minister, and Chapman Cole
man, First Secretary of the American Lega
tion. HAS HEBSELF TO BLAME.
France's Obstinate Policy Throws England
Into Germany's Arms. ,
Paris, Aug. 5. M. Lockroy, in an inter
view to-day, said he had no doubt that the
handsome reception of the French fleet at
Constadt, if not tho visit itself, was due to
England's support of the Dreibund. While
Fiance was isolated, he said, there was a
strong temptation for the masterful and
capricious German Emperor to piungo Ger
many into war.
The "rapprochement" between France
and Russia removed that danger. Franco,
however, had milnly herself to blame, her
obstinacy in'her policy in the Egyptian nnd
Newfoundland questions tbrowiiigjEngland
into the arms of Germany and tho Dreibund.
After the Initial mistake she ought to have
accepted the situation in Egypt, and, in re
gard to Newfoundland, she ought to have
modified the Utrecht treaty.
THE IDEA IB GROTESQUE.
Comment of German Newspapers on the
Columbian Fair.
Berlis, Aug. 5. A paper of this city says
that Chancellor Von Caprlvi has told Mr.
Phelps, tho American Minister here, that
Emperor William will perhaps visit tho
World's Fair at Chicago. This statement,
however, lacks confirmation.
The J'OMucAe Zeilung says: "Tho Idea of
holding a World's Fair in a country bound
by McKinley ism is grotesque. German man
uiacturers can't hope to obtain a market
there. Only Americans will profit by the
experience gained in inspecting tho ex
hibits, and they 'will probably then increase
tho duties." The Tageblatt espressos similar
views, but in a milder tone.
Must Fay for the CoaL
In the United States District Court yester
day Judge Beed issued an attachment
against the steamer Harry Brown, owned by
TV. H.Brown Sons, in tho suit Drought
against them by John Moran nnd M. Mnn
hall. The suit is for $3,603 for coal lost
caused by the defendants' steamboat collid
ing with n coal fleet ownod by tho plaintiffs.
The amount of coal lost was W,o91 bushels.

EIVEE NAVIGATION STOPPED.
Lock No. 1 Is Seriously Damaged by Two
Dredging Boats.
There was a pretty lively meeting of Coun
cil No. 7, Sovereigns of Industry, on the
Southside, last evening. This lodge had ar
ranged to hold a picnic at Kinney's Grove on
August 12. Yesterday two dredging boats
damaged lock No. 1 in some way. and navi
gation through the lock will be stopped for
several weeks. It was intended to go to the
grove on the Mayflower excursion boat, but
that idea had to bo given up, and a meeting
was held last night to see what could be
done. Some people wanted to go to the
grove on the train, and the others opposed
this because the boat had been chartered. It
was then suggested that the picnic be held
at McKce's Rocks, and after discussing tho
advantages of the two groves for over- an
hour it was decided to go to the Rocks.
BEPUDIATED THE BILLS.
Controller Morrow Says the City Is Not
Paying for Meals.
John Mullen, a restaurateur, of Oakland,
presented to Controller Morrow yesterday a
bill for two meals chnrged against two police
officers whose numbers aro 175 and 178. Con
troller Morrow refused to pay the bill, and
referred it to Captain Mercer, of the Second
police district. The latter, upon investiga
tion, found that the two officers mentioned
were new ones. They went to Mullen's res
taurant and each had a meal. They told Mr.
Mullen to turn the bill over to the city for
payment. The latter did so, but the amount
was repudiated by Controller Morrow. A
further investigation of the cise will bo
made to ascertain if the story told to Cap
tain Mercer is correct. If ho finds it is, the
proper measures will be taken.

years ago bv Judge O Connor, the father of

TWO
IBWIlsT.
Grand Combination Sale of Lots AT AUCTION in NORTH IRWIN and WEST
IRWIN on THURSDAY and FRIDAY, August 6 and 7.
E-EE
The sale will embrace all the very choice property in first hands, adjoining and on two sides
surrounding the PENNSYLVANIA PLATE GLASS WORKS. These works, next to
the largest in the world, made their first glass on July 23, and as soon as all furnaces can be
heated will be running full, employing from 600 to 800 workmen. In the same semi-circle
with these are the works of the KEYSTONE BAG CO.,the IRWIN BRICK CO., and the
location of the IRWIN WINDOW GLASS WORKS, whose erection is assured, with a
BEVELING and MIRROR WORKS and a STEEL WIRE WORKS in prospect These
industries, as now in operation, connected with the industries of Irwin proper, EMPLOY
OVER 4,000 MEN, with a payroll of more than $125,000 per month. This is, therefore,
no mere scheme on paper. It is the legitimate expansion of a vigorous and growing town,
whose energies are bursting forth into new fields of enterprise. NATURAL GAS and
MOUNTAIN WATER are already on the property. The Irwin Electric Light Plant is
building. The STREETS ARE GRADED. Thousands of feet of sidewalks are already
laid. Handsome buildings are completed and in course of erection on lots already sold,
many of which have changed hands at increased prices. Churches, Schools and social ad
vantages of every kind are within easy reach, and an Electric Railway is projected to con
nect Irwin property with Larimer, running through the main avenues of the property we
offer. There is nothing better in Western Pennsylvania.
The lots will be sold without reserve 10 per cent cash and 24 per cent per month.
You can buy one with little money, and while you are paying for it it will double in
value.
If you want a good investment if you want to grow up with a growing town if
you want a good home, where taxes are low and surroundings attractive if you want steady
work, with good pay, attend these sales and buy.
Come to us for plans of the property.
Trains will leave Union Station at 1 o'clock on AUGUST 6 and 7.
