King, the Pitts burg pitcher, was monarch of all he sur veyed to-day, and his surveying was princi pally confined to the tall, athletic men who play ball for Kew York City. As they walked one at a-time up to the plate, the n hite-haired,criaison-faced pitcher from Smoketown surveyed them with a look of disdain, and, after a lew contortions, shot the ball in a twisting wav toward the plate. Instantly the air became dark as a huge stick of cordu ood swished through the mel low svnlicht and collided with a vacuum. "Whereupon the spectators groaned and Pitcher King smiled scornfully. The Xew York cranks are forgiving and would readily have o erlooked a few innings of that sort of tblMgr, hut to keep it up lor nine long in- ninss was too much and 1'itclier King will leav 2 this vicinity in bad repute. It cannot be denied, however, that he rrrciiED a remarkable game Only one good, solid hit was made off his delivery, and that was accomplished by Janny Richardson In the seventh inning, with two men out, he hit the ball against the Tight field bleachers for two bases, and was then left en second. Tiernan got a pop single to light in tue first, and was also left on second King as chary of giving base hits, but was generous with bases on ball, undenting the New Yorks with even baes nnd hitting another. King's supporters gave five first baes on error-, and. altogether, there were plenty of chances ollered to the local players to make run- In the nrt inning Gore's stinginglmer was muffed by Shugart, and Tiernan got a pop E.ngle. Richard-on sacrificed, advancing the runners a base, and then O'Kourke and Connor struck out.

It aasap'ece of childish base running. The 2ew Yorks made their biggest bid for runs in the sixth. O'Rourke leached first on Shugart's high throw, and after Connor Iiad retired on a fly, King sent both W. Ewmg and Bassett to first on balls, thus filling the bases To Bumll and John Ewing r. a- ailotteu the task of sending in three runs n nil a triple. Burnll struck out and Eing -tnt a little fly to Bierbauer Again In the ninth the got men on bases, but theie wasnobodj in the team able to hit King Te fact must be set down that John Km; pitched an excellent game. and it was no faul c his that the Xeir Yorks lost. Buck Ewing sent Eusie to bat in the flist half of the ninth m order that the"Cj clone" raght pitch t'e last inning in case the Xew Yorks made any runs in theii half of the ninth. The big fellow was not compelled to exert hnn-ell The Pittshargs got a run in the first on Ilanlon's single and Becklej 's double, and another in the filth on singles by Maul, King and Hanlon.

Just as it apDeared the runner would get safely to first, King darted across the base and caught the tosed ball a second before Bissett's feet touched the canvas Bassett was declared safe, but lie was out In the third inning Gore hit an ugly srcr.ndc-- that Becklev got but was un able to co er the ba-e. King and Gore had n tight lace, the pitcher slightly on the lend. lule King was yet six leet from the base Becklej tos-ed the ball at the base at about the proper height, and the pitcher got It as he galloped o er the bag It w as pretty plain The attendance was l.'jos Score: 1EW 10RK.

The programme for the week was all but finished, the 2:12 class being stopped by a smart shower after three heats. Belle Hamlin has not re covered from her fast work last week, which followed a long let up, and Geers pronounced her unfit for a record breaking mile. This afternoon in the triple hitch, Mr. Hamlin told him to go as fast as he could, as many had come specially to see the novel rig. The trio kept steady to the half, but Belle jumped off her stride there, whereas Globe and Justina were so full of trot that Geers let them go with Belle gal topmg. They finished in 2 16, last quarter in 32 seconds. Honest George stood best in the summary for the 2-23 trot, which was A REMNANT FROM THURSDAY, but Nightingale ended matters by getting the fourth and fifth heats while George was unsteady. 2:23 class, trotting, purse $2,000 Nightingale 1 5 2 11 Honest George 2 113 4 Walton Boy 3 6 5 2 3 Keokec 4 2 4 4 6 Hartford 6 4 6 6 2 Paul 5 3 3 5 6 Time, 2.19X, 2.21X. 2:21Ji. 2.21, 2.20.

THE ADVICE OP HENSEL. PROFITLESS. MERCANTILE TAX SUITS NOT TO BE BROUGHT, Reference to the Local Law Governing1 Suoh r nits in Allegheny Countj Philadelphia Is a. Rather Expensive Delinquent Crooked Appraisers Should Be Prose cuted. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Habrisburg, Aug. 7. Attorney Gener al Hensel's letter of advice to Auditor Gen eral McCamant has been made public, and is in line with the latter's communication to City Treasurer Wright, of Philadelphia, in reference to the collection of delinquent mercantile taxes. In this connection the Attorney General says : The costs in suits for nncollectiblo mer cantile taxes in the city of Philadelphia constitute about 90 per cent of the entire expenses of the Commonwealth of this char acter; whereas, the total collections fiom the city of Philadelphia bear a propoi Hon of only 30 to 40 per cen t of the entire revenue of the Commonwealth from like sources. This discrepancy can only be obtained by the existence of a system especially devised to multiply these suits and increase the costs. Of its practical portions, the letter of the Treasurer of Philadelphia gives flagrant examples. For the prevention in Allegheny county of the abuses which have so manifestly pi e vailed in Philadelphia, a local act was passed March 11, 187u, the eighth section of w hich reads as follows: "In all cases when upon Investigation, the Treasurer shall be satisfied that certain mercantile taxes cannot he collected by process of law, he shall make out a list of mercantile licenses, giving in detail names and residences, and return them to the Aud itor General under oath or affirmation, stat ing that said licenses, in his judgment, can not be collected by process ot law, and it would be a waste of the State funds to make costs thereupon. If the Auditor General is satisfied of the honesty and truth of said statement, he shall direct the Treasuier to be exonerated for said delinquent mercan tile licenses." It is true that no such provisions of the law applies to other parts of the State, but considering the reason ot the law w hich re quires these suits to be brought, and from tho very nature of things, it is wholly unrea sonable and improper to insist upon such a literal enforcement of the law and utter dis regaid of its spirit, as to annually impose upon the Commonwealth an expense of from $30,000 to $50,000 without any return whatever. I am clearly of the opinion, therefore, that in the city ot Philadelphia it is your nght and your -duty to advise and instruct the City Treasurer not to bring suits against de linquents, when be can procure and present to you satisfactory evidence that no moneys can possibly be recovered upon Judgments1 against them. The Attorney General closed by suggest ing that the methods of the mercantile ap praisers be investigated and that if any crookedness is discoversd criminal pros ecutions should follow. SOMETHING WILL DK0P IN DENVEB, Strikers Make Threats at a Meeting Held in Omaha. Omaha, Aug. 7. There is practically no change in the strike situation in any of the trades, but at a meeting of the smelter em ployes the threat was made that unless the company came to terms soon there would be trouble in the Denver branch of the in stitution. John Quinn, one of the agitators, in a speech to the workmen, said they would hear something drop in Denver in a few days. "They persisted in calling this a strike," he said, "but it is not a strike, it is a lock out They want to call it a strike, why we will just let them have one in good earnest. I am now in correspondence with some of the labor organizations in Denver, and I promise you the Omaha and Grant Smelting Company will hear something drop pretty soon if this lock-out continues in Omaha."' This statement was received with cheers. SHE WAS HYPNOTIZED. Delia Howard's Actions While Under a Peculiar Spell. THE GIRL HMAPS HER SISTER. Bold Robbers Tracked by Means of a little Piece of Cloth. ITAJTr TEACHERS WHO CAMOT SPELL f SPECIAL TELEGRAMS TO THE DISPATCH. Lima, Aug. 7. Miss Delia Howard, the pretty 15-year-old girl who recently created a sensation in this city, is in prison to-night on a curious charge. At 4 o'clock this morning, Officer Gus Miller was awakened by a loud ring at his door bell. Hastily donning his apparel 'he opened the door and discovered Miss Howard, who calmly asked the officer to conduct her to a house which has a questionable character. The astonished officer refused, when the girl burst into teais, and said her aunt bad treated her so cruelly that she had deter mined the only recourse left was to lead an independent life. The girl was locked up and her father sent for. Some ten days ago Delia hired a rig, kid naped her little sister, and drove with her into the wilds of the oil district, where, after a two days' search, she was found in an old abandoned house. The girl claimed at the time to have been under a peculiar spell, which attacked her frequently and made her utterly unconscious ot what she said or did, in fact, that she was hypno tized. The girl must be again under the spell, as her story is hardly true in regard to hav ing been badly treated, and she has a good home. She is very bright, pretty and well educated. The case is attracting widespread attention, and a consultation of physicians will be held to-morrow in order to deter mine, if possible, the reasons for her re markable actions.

BEV. MB. BATTSMAN BESIGNS. He Dissents From Many Points In the Con fession of Faith. Rochester, Aug. 7. The resignation of Rev. Joseph H. Bausmnn, pastor of the 'Presbyterian Church, of this place, is the all absorbing topic of conversation and varied are the reports in circulation. Some are condemning the sessions for taking any action In the matter until after the return of Mr. Bausman from Europe, which will be about the 25th. Mr. James H. Ewing (one of the two elders), a very warm and personal fi lend of the pastor, wa seen this morning, who emphaticnllj- denied that the session asked for Mr. Bailsman's resignation. He says they wrote him in June protesting against the doctrines he was teaching, which they claim are not in harmony with the doc trines, as set forth in the Conlession of Faith or the Presbyterian Church. In reply the reverend gentleman says in a letter received last evening, that he does most decidedly dissent from manj- points in the Confession of Faith, as he does not be lieve that they conform to the teachings of God's word, and therefore offers his resigna tion as their pastor, to take effect immedi ately. Mr. Ewing said there w ill not likely be any action taken by tho church till after the Return of Mr. Bausman. It is but just to say of the pastor and people, that the very best of feelings exists between them. The session say that they are only doing their duty as prescribed by the laws of the church, under similar circumstances. The letter received from Mr. Bausman will prob ably be r ad to the congregation next Sunday morning. CRAZED BY THE BIG FLOOD. A Young Man Becomes a Raving Maniac From Brooding Over Losses.

Finally he was cheered up somewhat, and his rela tives begged him to try and forgfet the manv friends he had lost in the flood. He seemed to recover, and went to working at the car penter trade.
