tFPECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
2Cew Yop.K, Aug. 7. 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. In tbeseco.idBisett

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

runs n nil a triple. Burnll struck out and

In the ninth the got men on bases, but

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. Gore made two sensational
catche- in center, Bassett made a fine cap
tuie ota low line hit, and one of the pretti
est p'tijs of the game was made in the

would have beaten him. 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

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

A rumor is current to the effect that the

sufficient money to pay expenses will not be
taken in. There is also a little leelnig be
tween Manager Slayer and the East End
Gjms relative to a postponed ginie, which
ought to be played at Bridgevule between
the teams. If the Brideeville team drops
out the County League w ill likely collapse.

Buffalo, Ang. 7. Rosalind Wilkes
turned the tables on her fast rival, Alvin,
to-day, and the Ifew York mare won an
other great victory in the free for alL She
6old cheap in the pools till she got the third
heat in 2:15, and her friends had the money
nil on before then. 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.

It was $100 for the field and $50 for Alvin in
the opening pools on the free for all, and
even money just before the first heat. The
chestnut stallion got terribly tangled going
awaj', and as the others were not in a hurry,
except McDoel Mambnno Maid was not
headed, the gelding making a break as he
closed from the head of the sti etch After
the Maid got the next heat in 2 17 with
Alvin unable to head her, the race looked
peculiar. Turner had been waiting, and
when he sent Rosalind Wilkes along in the
third heat he trailed Alvin to the last
quarter and then beat him home in 2 15.

Goldsmith was unable to drive her to day
she sold over a stiong field. She didn't
make any showing till the third heat, and
even tnen was too far behind to head J. B.
Richardson. The stallion Junemont had
the pole and led for two heats, trotting the
second m 2 18, nearly 1 second's improve
ment over his old mark. A Break lost him
the lead in the third heat, and Richardson
finished a half a length ahead of Miss Alice
in 2 18. Before the next hoat the ram came
and made the footing so slippery that the

. 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.

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.

of music. The return march was then taken
up to the great auditonum, which presented
an unusual and pretty sight, being filled
with delighted children, all dressed in
white, and accompanied by their more
soberly dressed mothers or sisters. At 2
o'clock this afternoon the exercises In the
auditorium began with a grand chorus by
the children.
Every number on the programme was
rendered by children. The first several
numbers consisted of music and Bible reci
tations, after which came songs and recita
tions by the following little performers,
many of the renditions being of more than
usual merit: Winona Nicely, Emma Cart
wright, Beulah Gardner, Mana Smiley;
James Evans, Kate Smiley, Melzie Proudflt,
Bertie Tomb, Lizzie Stoner, Eugene Cart

but frequently misspelled, only seven of the
teachers spelled the entire list correctly.

Been Operating Largely.
McKeesport, Aug. 7. After several days
and nights of difficult work, an important
anest was made here to-day, which is
thought will lead to the detection of a bold
gang of robbers and thieves that have been

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.
Johjtstown, Aug. 7, Lee Rankin is a rav
ing maniac to-day as the result of continued
brooding over the great floo J. He is a young
man, and at the time of the flood lived at
No. 12 Market street, where he was actively
engaged in business, and was considered a
bright-minded young man. He was caught
in the rush of waters, and after a fearful ex
perience, rescued.
The day after the flood herefused to speak
for hours, and sat as one benumbed. 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. All these months, however,
lie evidently had but one thing on his mind,
and used to sit silent and apart. To-day he
suddenly became raving insane, and does
nothing but talk incohei entlj' of the flood.
His mind is hopelessly gone, and ha will be
taken to the asylum.

3 o'clock John Lambright, of this place, fllea
papers in a suit against Dr. T. G. McPherson,
