tSPECUL TELKGRAMTO THE mSrTCn.
Xew York, Aug. C The Pittsburg's
felt confident of winning providing they
could hit that man Rusie. During the
time previous to beginning the game
they held mysterious conferences. They
gathered in groups oi two
and three and gave each
other valuable hints on
the best method of mak
ing hits while Rusie was
In the box, and so cheer
ful and encouraged were
they that smiles orna
mented each face from
McGunnigle to driller.
While the Xew Yorks
were practicing McGun
niglc gathered his young
men about him, and in
formed them that there
was no use of being afraid
of swift pitching. "Stand
tip and hit at it freely and boldly," said
Jlac, whereupon he expanded his chest and
looked very, very fierce. Dx-Manager
Hanlon stood on the outskirts of the mass
meeting, with a cold, chilly smile on his
Detroit countenance. After shaking hands
all around and assuring each other that
Busie would shortly be the chiet mourner
at a surprise party, the Pitisburgs waited
for Umpire Lynch to give the word. Meau
whlle Rusie, all unconscious of the plot to
wreck his reputation as a pitcher, was smil
ing in that child-like way of his and pitching
A FEW SWIFT ONES
to Rurrill. and the latter was hopping
around like a chioken on a hot stove. When
the content got under way, the Pittsburgs
tried to apply their recipes, but somehow
thej failed to work. Beckley roared from
the coaching line at first Da-e, Jiillcr howled
from third base line and McGnnnigle '
shouted from the bench. The burden of
their vocal dvnamite was "line her out."
But the tall, strong-limbed young man trom
Indiana smiled soltly and threw the ball so
fat the human eye could not lollow it.
Therefore, it was simply a question of the
Xew Yorks hitting Baldwin sufficiently hard
to win, and they did it. Buck Ewing may
have a glass arm but ho is not troubled with
a glass c e and again was the absolute neces
sity of Ills presence in the team demon
strated. Although the crystalline condition
of his rurht arm Derniitted the visitors
to tie the score in the eighth, yet his batting
rattled the New Yorks to win in the tenth.
His two-base hit in the tenth was a shining
example of scientific hitting, and the influ
ence he exert. in steadying tbe players can
not be estimated too highly Kichardson's
w ork at short was magnificent, as w as alio
Shugart's. In that young player Pittsburg
appear, to have secured a jewel. There was
some vcrv ragged wotkand also some excen
tionally "brilliant plaj y both teams. In
the matter of run through errors, each
team wat. favored, and the game as a whole
nas one that kept the 1,013 spectators in a
wideawake condition.
MAUL MADE A MUFr.
Maul's muff of Connor's line hit, on which
the runner got to second, and Buckley's
single gave Xew York a run in the second,
which e ened up for the one Pittsburg got
on shugart and Becklej 's bae on balls, and
a bad throw to centei field by Buckley. In
the third the Pittsburgh got to the front
with two rutis, which w ere scored on a base
on balls, Sliugait'ssumh to right for three
liases and a wild pitch. O'Kourke started
the fourth inning gallantly. He drove the
ball to the left field bank,-and while Maul
was poking around in the grass after tho
sphere he made the circuit There was
nobody to follow O'Eourke's good
example. In the fifth the Pitts
bvres bunched their errors, and while
Marl: Baldwin's ruddy face lairly flamed,
the New Yorks rolled" up thiee runs and
look the lead. Miller started the fun by
fumbling Buckley's grounder and then
making a high throw to first, the runner
taking second. I.'umc sent a fly to lianloi.
At this point Baldwin became somewhat
flustered and gave Goi-e and Tiernan bases
on balls. Then Eichai-dson's n ift grounder
got past Shugart, Bucklcj and Gore scoring.
Ticrnin leached thud, Horn whence lie
cored on O'Eourke's sacrific. Connor end-
1 r'.ie innMg with an out at first The Xew
Yorks held the lead until the eighth, when
lluck's porcelain arm got him into trouble,
llectley had struck out, and Miller got a
.-orking three-baser to left. Mack hit to
En ing, w ho had an easy out at the plate, but
:i Ion throw spoiled it all, the runner
scoring.
A PRETTY DOUBLE PLAY,
rjy Eusie, Bichardson and Connor put the
.ideoiit. It was nothing by either side in
the ninth, but in the tenth the New Yorks
captured the game with a rush. Richardson
reached first on balls, and by gilt-edge base
limning got all aiound to third on O'Kourke's
out at first. Connor was also sent to first on
balls, and then Ewing came up for a try at
goal. The inficlders had come m close tor u
vlay at plate. Heachiug with his long bat,
Lw mg tapped a wide curve on the tip of its
Koraan coe and sent the ball whistling
do? n th light foul line like a flash. Before
it was fielded in Hichardson had scored,
Connor was at third and Ewing at second.
Bassctt was equal to the occasion, and with
a clean single to lett, landed Connor and
En Ing at the plate. Buckley and Rusie re
tired on flies, but the game was w on, and by
pietty an exhibition of scientific hitting
as mc could desire to &ee. The Pittsburgs
inide some trouble in the tenth. Hun. on
s.ened with a single and stole second. Shu
jr.'iit and Becklev struck out. Miller sent
Hanlon home w ith a single. Mack died ut

The Trotters- at Buffalo Make Lots of Fun
for the Spectators Spragne Golddust
Wins a Kace Out and Jerry ;I Bather
Surprises the Talent.
rSrKCIAL TELEGRAM TO TIJE DISPATCH.J
Buffalo, Aug. 6. Starting Judge Mar
tin had a trying time this afternoon with a
cranky lot.'of trotters that delayed the
starts so that the programme for the third
day was not cleared up. The 2:25 class
gave him the most trouble and wearied the
big crowd, though they took matters good
naturedly. The 2:19 class, with three heats
trotted yesterday, came up first. Leicester
was far behind the flag when Aline got to
the wire in the fhird heat last evening and
the distance judge reported him o'ut. This
was ignored, however, as the stallion carried
a lot of money, and had been scnt-nway
when he was tangled up. The two wrongs
did not even matters and M. G. Thompson,
who- owns Sprague Golddust, with Jack
Bowcn and Dell Barker, tbe drivers of Jean
Valjean and, Diamond, made a verbal protest
againstEcicestcr starting again. The Judges
did not entertain tho objection, and Leices
ter had another chance. He gavo Spraguo '
Golddust a lively chase tor seven-eighths of
the mile and then dropped back to third
place as the Utica stallion finished in 2:1
another drop in his record. This gavo Leices
ter a better place than Diamond. So the
fourth money is tied np to await decision on
the point.

Ryland I led the betting in the 2-25 class,
but got away so far behind in the first heat
after the te'dious scoring that he trotted
ov.or himself in the effort to get to the front,
and was distanced. This made, the way
clearer lor Nettie King, who had landed tho
heat in 2-20J4, a new lecordforher, but she
lost tho next by a bioak and was finally
beaten by Jerry L, a stout gray gelding from
Minnesota. Andrews was put in to drive J.
T. after the second heat, but the trotter was
evidently overrated, as he could not get a
heat.

The appearance of four fast pacers in the
free-for-all attracted unusual interest but tho
issue was never in doubt. Hal Pointer has
shown himself master of all harness raccis
at Cleveland and it was merely a question
of how fast Y'olo Maid could make him go.
The first heat in 2:10'i was the limited,
though the average time was very close to
that of last. week. The lastest quarter re
corded was the third one of the first heat in
32 seconds, though Pointer went nearly a
second quicker from there to the wire.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Harrisburg, Aug. 6. Attorney Gen
eral Hensel to-day sent a formal answer to
'Auditor General McCaniant's queries re
garding the delinquent taxpayers on the
mercantile appraiser's list'. The Auditor
General then prepared and sent to City
Treasurer "Wright, of Philadelphia, the
following communication:
Dear Sir Reforring to your favor of the
30th, desiring certain information as to the
collection of delinquent taxes for the year.
IS91, 1 write to say that the act of April 11,
1862, amending the license laws of the State,
makes it the duty of every City and County
Treasurer to sue for the recovery or all
licenses returned by the mercantile apprais
ers to the Treasurer that are not paid volun
tarily. ItaUo provides that the Treasurer
cannot bo discharged from the payment of
the licenses returned to him as aforesaid
unless suit is brought and pressed to Judg
ment and execution. The Treasurer selects
the magistrates before whom suits are insti
tuted, and they should of right make to him
their returns of collections and list of un
colloctable licenses, and with costs, in the
month of October.
.
COSTS OF THE SUITS.
In all cases where licenses are uucollecta
ble the costs of the suits are paid by the
Commonwealth, as fixed by act of March 13,
1847. So tar as I am able to ascertain the act
of April 11, G2, has been followed in every

The Bellaire Youth Defeats Yonng Ben-
marsh in a Good Race.
One of tho most interesting scullers' races
that has taken placo in the vicinity of Pitts
burg lor many years took place last even
ing, or rather yesterday afternoon, between
Pearl Pickett, of Bellaire, and Albert Den
marsh, of McXee's Rocks. They are both
youngsters, and they rowed for a handsome
gold badge, and, of course, their guardians
bet a little on the race. One bet between
the parties was $150 each, and in the pool
box there were.probably $1,000 invested on
tho result.
The contestants rowed over the McKee's
Rocks course, a distance of IK miles and re
turn. Pickett is a young man about
fi feet in height and quite a raw
boned youth. Donmarsh is not so
tall, but he is powerfully" built.
Fred Goodwyn was referee, and he sent the
i owers on their journey to a good start. But
Denmarsh was sooner to work than Pickett,
nnd he soon had a length and a quarter the
best of the race. At this stage the bettinc
was even money, although $10 to $7 on Pick
ett had been the ruling price just before tho
start.
Pickett soon showed his superiority as a
rower, and when three-quarters or a mile
wasxowed the race was really over. Pickett
lowed a clean and, to a great extent, power
ful stroke. .Denmarsh was somewhat flur
ried, and showed lack of teaching. He rowed
a good and. plucky stern chase, and
will certainly develop into a good sculler.
Tickett is really a good man already, and
can stay. The ,winner won by about flvo
lonpths in 22:45.

A HAD BOG IN A STORE.
Locked in by Sheriffs Officers and Wants to
j Get Out,
A small dog, yelping and plunging around
frantically is a half-dismantled grocery
store in which a Sheriff's sale had been in
piogress, attracted a crowd in fiontof 901
Carson street last evening about 7 o'clock.
;Many thought the dog was mad, and no
dpubt he wa, in one sense oi the word, very
mad, indeed, for he was locked in and
wanted to get out, but as tho store was in
the hands of the" Sheriff, no one could do
anything to release the dog, which, when
last seen, was still wildly dashing about
among the tomnto cans, codfish and brooms
howling at the top of its voice, and worse
scared than if it already felt the meshes of
the dog catcher's net:
THE FIRE BEC0BD.
The Park Rink building was burned early
yesterday morning at Orange, X. J. Loss
$45,000; insurance $25,030. " "
As incipient blaze on the .roof of Ham
mond's mill, Second avenue, caused by an
overheated smoke stack, old damage last
night to the extent of $20. An alarm of fire
was sent in from station U at 11:15.
Yesterday .morning about 3 o'clock the
bam of Jacoli Cramer, i miles west of Find-
lay, was totally destroyedby flie. Loss $3,000,
with no Insurance, xne origin or the fire is
unknown, but is supposed to have been in
ceudiary, as tramps had been sleeping in the
banw
rpnds as follows:
"In all cases wheie, upon investigation,
the Treasurer shall be satisfied that certain
mercantile licenses cannot be collected by
law, he shall make out a list of such mercan
tile licenses, giving in detail names, resi
dence and amount, and return the same to
the Auditor General, under the oath of
affirmation, stating that said licenses, in his
Judgment, cannot bo collected by process of
law, and it would be a waste of State funds
to make costs thereupon. If the Auditor
General is satisfied of the honesty and
truth of said statement, he shall direct the
Treasurer to be exonerated for said delin
quent mercantile licenses."
THE ONLY CHANGES.
These two changes are tho only ones that
a search of tho pamphlet laws enable me to
find, and after the repeal in 18?8 of the act of
April 18, 1878, the act of April 11 was lestored
and again followed in Philadelphia.
In view of the representations you make,
and the better to enable me to answer tho
questions you ask, I have had a conference
with the Attorney General and sought his
advice on your flist, second and fourth in
terrogations, as they involve matters in law,
and 1 now answer you as ionows:
First, it is your duty to placo in tho hands
of magistrates for collection on August 16
all delinquent licenses where your investi
gation satisfies you the Commonwealth can
recover, or where there is a reasonable
doubt or chance for the Commonwealth to
recover, or where claims involve disputed
questions, which it is the interest of the
Commonwealth to have speedily adjudicated.
AN EXTENSION OF TIME.
Other claims you can withhold from suit
until further inquiry and investigation are
made, and for the purpose I extend the
term for instituting suit on such claims to
the 15th day of September next, with a
promise of a further extension of time of
the same if deemed necessary. Where you
are satisfied beyond a doubt that there can
be no recovery on a judgment obtained on a
claim for licenses and you can furnish me
satisfactory proof to that effect, no suit
need be instituted. Tho proof should be
your affidavit, or the affidavit of some com
petent person acting in your behalf, or in
behalf of your counsel, whom we appoint
I appoint J. Quincey Hunslcker, who acted
under my appointment as Examiner of
Savings Banks, and who acted also as agent
of the State Treasurer and myself in the ad
justment of the accounts of the late Treas
urer John Bardsley, to represent the Com
mon wealth, and to be her counsel in consid
ering everything and determining upon evi
dence secured, whether it is judicious or not
to institute suits in all cases, or determine
what suits should be instituted, and what
not. I authorize you to employ some person
satisfactory toy oui self and Mr. Hunsicker,
to act as assistant connsel, and for their ser
vices they shall be properly compensated.

THE ACTION OF WRIGHT.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says: City
Treasurer Wright to-day received a com-
mUUJliiAViUli Mum M.v. ukuwu. wiv-
Camant, inclosing a statement from At
torney General Hensel, in which the city's
indebtedness to the State for unpaid State
tax on mercantile taxes is fixed at $J6,0G0.
Accompanying the Attorney General's state
ment was a demand that the amount named
be immediately paid to the Slate Treasurer.
The records ot the City Treasurer's office
show that John Bardsley, while City Treas
urer, received tbe money, but there is no
record showing that he paid it to the State.
There was some doubt all along as to
whether the State would take this step, it
being laid to the credit of Controller Thomp
son, by a careful review of the statutes, to
clearly show that the City Treasurer only
acts as the fiscal agent of the State, and as a
consequence the city can't be held respon
sible for any of his actions while acting in
that capacity.
City Treasurer Wright has referred the
communication of the Attorney General to
the law officer of tho city and will now
await the latter's decision in the matter.

SATURDAY, AUG. 8, 0natheplots.
Only 15 minutes' ride by Wylie Avenue Cable Road from Fifth
Avenue and Wood Street
TERMS: $10 DOWN; BALANCE, $2 PER WEEK.
DESCRIPTION:
Herron Hill Park is the highest point in Allegheny county, and the view from these lots
is truly magnificent. In one direction a full view is had of the Allegheny river sparkling in the
sunlight, and further on the hills and valleys of Reserve township. In the other direction can be
seen Lawrenceville, Ben Venue, East Liberty, while still further to the south can be seen Fifth
avenue and the beautiful verdure-covered hills of the Twenty-second and Twenty-third wards.
No malaria can rise to the height of these lots, so that purchasers can be assured of the
healthy location.
. By examining a map it will be seen that this is really the center of the city. It is sur
rounded by Lawrenceville, Bloomfield, Ben Venue and Bellefield. By the Wylie avenue cable
road it is only fifteen minutes' ride from Fifth avenue and Wood street.
The time being so short, all who desire will have ample time to go home for dinner. .
We predict values will soon rise as high as Shadyside or Roup so soon as the advantages
are known, .and the improvements on the Park by the city will still further increase the value.

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM to THE DISPATCH.
PortJervis, Aug. 6. In a collision last
night between two teams on the bridge
crossing Sawklll river, Mary Blown was
thrown over the front of one of the wagons
and became entangled in the under part of'
the vehicle. Tho horses took fright nnd ran
away. She was dragged overa rough country
road for eight and a half miles, and
was dead when found, ner age was about
17. '.The runaway team passed through
Port" Jcrvis at 10.30, and persons who
were on the street say they heard the piteous
cries of a woman, but no one could tell
whence they came. No blood stains were
found at any point south of tho Delaware
liver, but from the brow of the street hill to
the point where the body was found, a well
defined trail of blood was visible, showing
plainly where the life of the young woman
was crushed out.
When found both feet were faBt in the
axle springs, her head and body resting on
the ground. None of her limbs were broken,
but the back of her head was crushed In a
shocking manner, and the shoulders, back
and arms were horribly lacerated and torn.
Withdrew the Italians.
About 50 street pavers went out on strike
at Beaver Falls against working with Ital
ians. The Italians were withdrawn.
