Baltimore I.aiii.ille 11 Columbus Whcne! er 1 here is a ery close argument, particularly in a baseball game, and a ltttlo mistake or two ams-os the defeat of one's "favorite-, tin remit is imicli more irritating than if the defeat had been a crushing one. There was a loature of this kind in yesterday-dfent of our sluggers by the League leaders from Chicago. Generally speaking, the content was one of the prettiest that anjbody would like to see. but a little mis take or so turned ietory into defeat. Cer tainly in nick and neck struggles it only needs a "slight mistake on one side to turn the wales in a or of the other side, and the sddc that keeps clear of the-e mistakes is tho one which Is., as a rule, the winner. But it has, as a rule, been the lot of our sluggers Jo lose almost every brilliant and clojepame by committing blunders, and yesterday was no exception. Thero w as a chance to knock the Chicago off their perch, but the chance oi chance- were not accepted. KIVO DID EXTREMELY WELL. Whatet er shortcomings fcilvcr King may lin't e had ormay not liavo had is in the past; lie pitched a remarkable game yesterday. In fact, he pitched a winning g.ime, and It is only fair to give hiru that credit, although the credit will not show on the record. Cer tainly it was no fault of hi- that the home pln era added one more defeat to their al leailj too great a number. The tnoruns secured bj the isitor.- were almost en tirely the result of mi-takes of Bicrbauer and Hanlon. They were excusable mis takes no doubt, but they po on record as er-roi-iii!.t the same. At least if they do not the ought to bj all means.. Probably there never was a team of ball plajcis so anxious to win a game as the local Muggers. There was a good Mon ti i attendance con-iuering the man) de leats of the team, 1,430 being present, if the siectators didn't see. a local ictorv thev mo-t a-surcdlj -aw a very interesting bail game and oue worth the money. There was earne-tne-s pictured in even nl.iver"s, face. and at the end of the sixth inning, when the .-core w a- 1 to 0 m lavor of the home team, Anton's movements and anxious look were astudj. He was strucgling for first plute, and King wa- pitching liuuvaj tlmtguxe little hope indeed of run getting. But the tital mi-takes came just when almost every body tnought the Chicago lvople were going to be whitewashed and bclore the cranks knew where they were the battle was lost and won. The visitors played a great gnme and moed about as it the arc here to do bu-i-iiess, and that means' that they arc deter mined todo-ome ball placing during their la-t visit to Pittsburg tlnsVcar. Hutchison was in good form and was extreme! v well suppoited. Had he not been the- result v ould ha e been otherw i-e. MIME HRILLIANT FIELDING. Cliff Carroll and Tommj Burns each turned a long safe hit Into an oufby making a brilliant catch. In short all the visitors tlid well, but they could do little or nothing w ith King, and as a result they did not cam a run 1 here were two serious mistakes made by the home players. One prevented the local team from getting at least one more run and the other enabled the visitors to get in the v inning run. It was, indeed, verj nnfortu nate that Hanlon should have had a hand in both mistake-. In tne fli t inning the score was nothing to nothing It was In the sixth In: ng Hanlon, who had gotten to fiistou balls, was on third, having reached that point on -huirart's single add Bocklev sacri fice hit. .-hugart, of course, wa- on second. Miller was at bat and he rapped out a splen did single to center, but Hanlon waited so long at third before starting for home that f-hiLjart wak nabbed at the plate. Had Han lon started at once shugart would ea-ily have scored and thcic would only ha e been one man out wiiu jmier on second. But nanlon no doubt was doing EVERYTHING FOR THE REST and probably thought the hit was a fly. Everybody wa- extremely anxious, very likclj too anxious. In the -econd instance of the error mak ing Anson knocked out a single to left field alter Dahlen had struck out. Hanlon was Iilajing well toward center and ran for the mil which was rolling bri-kly along the jrround. edgottoit well enough but as ill luck would iuno it he allowed the ball to pu-s him and An-on cot second. Cliff Cai roll then knocked a hot bouncer to Shugart which the latter lery pardonablv fumbled and the jig was up as Anson scored. The visitors' fir-t run wa- scored on a fumble by Bierb.iuer. a single by Pfellerand a long fi by Hutchinson. Lynch umpired a i cry good game. The score: riTTSlltllU. II Jl P A I CHICAGO.

AFFAIBS IN HAITI. All Factions in the Island Will Soon Unite in an Attack on Illppolyte. TSPECI U. TFLEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Aug. 17. Advices from Kingston, Jamaica, of August 8, say : The Haitian exiles from St. Thomas arrived here on June 30, and have since that time been delayed at quarantine.. They will be allowed to land on August 12. It is under stood here that Auseine Prophete has won over to his party by means of heavy bribes a large number of Haitians. He has also secured several partisans of Boisroud-Canal and LVlir.ond Paul by distributing among them, in ndvance, the Ministeries and im portant military commands. The exiles at quarantine, however, are mostly the insti gators of tlie revolt of May 28, and will undoubtedly remain faithful to the leaders for whom they then fought. The English Government realizes the violence of the feeling between the two factions, and is slightly anxious for the future. It is probable, "however, that there will not be time enough for anything to happen, for the attack on the common enemy. Hippolytc, will soon unite them. This attack mav be made at any moment. Rumor has it that the inhabitants of the island mav not even wait for the arrival of the exiles to begin the revolution. Re ports already reached here of partial up risings in the south of the island. MANY ABE BIG LOSEBS By the Collapse of the Fire Extinguisher Company of America. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

Onset without its annual row in the Spiritualistic camp would .be a novelty.' Now there is a scandal of huge proportions growing out of the expose of fraudulent methods adopted by a Eochcster, N. Y., medium named Mrs. Etta Eoherts. Mrs. JSoberts has been bounced by the Onset Bay Grove Associa tion, which wants only "straight goods" dispensed within its territory. The inci dent occurred last Thursday, when Mrs. Hoberts gave a seance in her cottage to a party of ladies and gentlemen who were not skeptical in the term which Spiritual ists apply, but, on the contrarywere firm believer- in spiritualism. The party included Mrs. Dr. Bland, of "Washington; M. B. Little, Glenn Falls, X. Y. ; Mrs. Lillian Wood and Mrs. F. B. Baker, Topeka, Kan. They were seated, as is cus tomary, in the parlor, in which was the cabinet. No interruption was made during the seance, and Mm. Roberts was allowed to continue, although her audience was sat isfied that some of her manipulations were frauds, and emphatically pionounced them as such. THE SPIRIT DISCOVERED. At the close of the seance, Mr. Little and Mrs. Baker took possession of the cabinet, and on making an examination, found a con federate of Mrs. Roberts under a bed in the room, who proved to be Miss Annie West, of Topeka, Kan. Miss West perambulated about Mrs. Roberts' room as a spirit, and made such a failure of it that the party easily perceived the deception. She At as unfamiliar with matters relating to the at tendant! at the seance, and appeared other wise generally misinformed. AVlien discovered she was in a half- clothed condition. Her excuse lor being in such a place is that she came there unknown to Mrs. Roberts, but this statement is not credited by those who attended the seance, for Mi6s West was recognized as the same person who claimed to be a spirit when the seance was going on. Mrs. Roberts is a medium of tlie wire-cage order. She enters a cage and pretends to enter and leave it at will, but now it has been proven that she has been perpetrating a cross fraud. Those who were present at the seance have signed a document to this effect. The case ol Mrs. Roberts was laid before the direc tory of the Onset Bay Grove Association, and as a result the following notice was sent to Mrs. Roberts by the directors: THE MEDIUM GETS BOUXCED. Onset, Mass., Aug. 16. To Mrs. Etta Roberts: It having come to our knowledge from re liable witnesses who were present at your seance on the afternoon of August 13 that jou were assisted by a confederate in the person of Mi-s Annie West in producing fraudulent manifestations, and, wnoreas,the Board of Dlreotars desiro to sustain by their sympathy aud support all genuine me diums for every variety of manifestations and to protect their reputation from the de moralizing pretenders, even though they may be at times genuine mediums, hereby revuest yon to leave the grounds of tire asso ciation and attempt no moie deceit in the sacred namo of spiritualism. Mrs. Roberts still remains, but Miss West has gone. Before going she pleaded with some of the people not to let her mother know what she had done. The grounds are fairly swarming with mediums, represent ing every phase of the movement, front healing to materializing. The mediums of the latter sort have the hardest time, for people place little confidence in what they pretend to do. There is considerable jealousy among the mediums, and it is not an unusual thing to hear one medium call another a fraud. MAEBIED EX-CONVICTS. Two Stage Struck Girls Who Wedded Opera Singers Badly Fooled. tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. St. Louis, Aug. 17. There is much sor row and anguish to-day in the Carondolet home of Mr. and Mrs. John Jay Bailey, the result of some distressing news concern ing their sons-in-law, Thomas W. It. Will iams and Harry B. Morgan, managers of the Williams Opera Company. The ro mantic story of the marriage of the young ladies to the singers was made public Sat urday morning. The news that comes from Chester, 111., is to the effect that both men were only recently discharged from the Southern Illinois penitentiary. Williams is an Knglishman of good family and is a singer of no mean quality, having traveled several years in this coun try with some of the best operatic com panies. He worked for about two years in the Southern Kxpress Company's office at Cairo. 111. His accounts were found short 'some f600, and as a consequence the dashing young baritone lor the next two years led the prison choir. Harry B. Morgan is a piano tuner and an all-round musician of some ability. He stranded in Toledo, 111., and in August, 1890, was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to one year's im prisonment A BIG ESTATE INVOLVED In on Inquiry That Will Bo Made Into Elliott Roosevelt's Mental State. SPECIAL TKLLGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. New York, Aug. 17. A commission was appointed by Justice O'Brien, of the Supreme Court, to-day to inquire into the mental condition of Elliott Roosevelt, with a view of having a committee appointed to care for his person and estate. The applica tion for the writ was made by his brother, United States Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt.withtheapproval of Elliott Roose velt's wife.

He is about 33 years old. He is tall, mauly and of a frank and pleasant countenance. Theodore Roosevelt avers in the papers in the case that the menial faculties of his brother have been failing for two years.

Ho alleges that the property of his brother in this State consists of real estate, bouds and stocks, and is worth S170.000. CHILEANS F0BCED TO VOLTJNTEEB. How President Baluiaceda Keeps the Ranks or Ills Army Filled. San Francisco, Aug. 17 A corres pondent writing from Santiago, under date o June 21, states that Balmaceda has is sued $12,000,000 of 50 cent paper money, and that it is compulsory on all to re ceive it. The regiment so highly extolled by thp government, which retreated from Tarapaca through the Argentine Republic and thence across the Andes, arrived 200 strong at Santiago, where they received theirpay and were granted five days' leave of absence, since which they have failed to put in an appearance. Balmaceda has issued a .proclamation for an increase of the army to 60,000 men. Throughout all the departments in the hands of Balmaceda, soldiers in satiads are pickinc un volun teers. It is believed this is bad policy, for these "volunteers"do not wish to fight their ; own countrymen, ana most ot them syra- pathize with the opposition. Those ''vol unteers" oftentimes are sleeping in their beds when they arc suddenly awakened by poundings at their doors, with threats that if they do not open it they will force an en trance. A man thus forcibly seized is hur ried into his clothes in spite of his expostu lations and those of his family, and is marched off to jail. A DILIGENT BURGLAR. HE RUNS A COUNTERFEITING TLANT IN HIS PRISON CELT.. California's Penitentiary Flooded With Bogus Half Dollars by Him Officials a Long Time In Catching the Coiner Twenty Burglaries Charged Against Him. srEciAi. telegram to TnE pisFATcn. San Francisco, Aug. 17 Frank Beal, professional burglar and all-around crook, who has been out of prison only four months and is on the road back there, is so enthu siastic in his work that he usually continues it while in prison. The last time he was in San Quentiu he set up a counterfeiting plant there within the walls and Hooded the place with bogus half dollars, and it teok the officials so long to find out who was do ing the work that they were ashamed to tell the facts and the story has just leaked out. Beal's counterfeiting outfit consisted of a )lastcr-of-paris die, a crucible and an alco io! lamp, and he made the coins from scraps ofjead and tin foil that he picked up in the prison shops and yard. He made so many lead half dollars that nearly every convict in San Quentin had a supply, and for a long time the officials were unable to get the least cue to the counterfeiter. One of the convicts told the warden that Beal wns the coiner, but Beal only laughed when the warden questioned him, and denied that he had any tools or was making any fraudulent money. His cell and his place in the jute mill were searched in vain, and a man detailed to watch him couldn't catch Beal at work. Still the supply of counterfeits increased. One night a guard thought he saw a flash oi light in Heals cell, and, quickly unlock ing the door, he saw Beal on his knees under the cot in the act of clamping the parts of a die together. Beal then told how he had carried on the work. Under his cot lie had dug a hole in one of the bricks of the floor and fixed a piece of wood, painted red, as a cover to the hole. In this receptacle he concealed his tools and at night cast half dollars between the visits of the guards. He would not tell where he got his tools and he was punished by deprivation of all his credits. During his four months of freedom diligent Mr. Beal has committed 20 burglaries, CAIIFOEKIA'S NEW LAKE. It Is a Fixed Fact, and Will Work a Revo lution in Agriculture There. San Diego, Aug. 17. H. W. Tatton, who undertook the exploration to determine the source of the overflow on the desert lake at Salton, is in this city. He says he is posi tive the lake will be permanent. At present it is falling, but each slight rise in the river adds to the volume of water in the lake, and now that a well de fined channel has been washed out the water from the river will flow directly into the lake instead of spreading all over the country. Speaking of the general effects of the overflow Patton said it would be both detri mental and beneficial, adding: "At Ban ning we had in a comparatively short time four rains. Then there were rains in the mountains above Red Lands and a heavv fall atCampo.all unprecedented at this time of the year. I am satisfied they are the direct result of the Salton lake. These rains come at a time when they are not needed just at harvest time, and when the raisin crop is maturing. On the other hand, it will bring into the market and un der cultivation an immense amount of ter ritory hitherto unproductive and sterile. A MILLION IJ0LLABS SAVED. Exhibitors in tho World's Fnlr to Furnish Their Own Motive Machinery. CniCAOO, Aug. 17. The chiefs of the different departments of the World's Fair are to refrain from interfering with the work in Jackson Park; to have nothing to do with the construction of the exposition buildings or the installation of the propelling machinery, until the whole has been ac cepted by the National Commission. That is the substance of a resolution passed to day by the Board of Control. It terminates the little squabble that was brought out by the installation of engines in the grounds. Chief of Construction Bnrnham can now go ahead and place the power he arranged for, and the directors save 51,000,000 which would be required to buv the necessary propelling machinery. Mr. Burnham's plan is, instead of tying up this sum of money, to have exhibitors furnish the neces sary machinery for light, heat and power, this machinery to be part of the owner's competitive exhibit, notwithstauding its use. ELLIOTT EXPELLED. His Name So Longer Graces the Rolls of the Grand Army. TSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCT.l Columrus, Aug. 17.

El liott, recently convicted of murder in the second degree for the killing of A. C. Os born, and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. He was dishonorably discharged, on account of his criminal record and conduct unbecoming a member. The post nas unanimous in the action, the only opposition being from J. D. Har ris, who was a witness for the defense in the Elliott case, who opposed the action and in sisted that it be postponed until the case had been carried to a higher court, to see if the lower court would be upheld. Harris became boisterous and the commander called him down, and steps were being taken to fire him from the post hall when an adjournment was taken. A C0NDTJCT0B IN TB0UBLE.

EFFOKTS TO TREYEST ANT OUTEAGES SPECUL TELEGRAM TO THE IJI8PATCH Caicaoo, Aug. 17. Chicago's Chinese residents until a few days ago believed that Wong Chin Foo, the New York Chinaman, had led such a good crusade against Chi cago highbinders that they were about driven out of the city. Now it is well known that 10 highbinders are here, and the latest coup that of detaining several bonafide Chinese Chicago merchants, en route here, at Niche, Winnipeg is a part of their work. The Hung Suen Tong, or the Chinese Masonic fraternity, has been active in stamping out the highbinders, and its Chicago secretory, Snm Mov, with such merchants as Hip Lung and Chow Tal, have openly declared that hem Aut is one oi tne principal high binders. Lem Aut is a converted Chinaman. He has not been, in a Chinatown store for four years. Lem assists several women in teach ing classes of Chinamen every Sunday. His friends claim he is sincere in his profession and will be very much surprised to learn thjs story of Sam Moy. "Lem Aut, once a member of the Hung Snen Tong, is now a deserter and high binder, tie is a runaway slave irom China. It was part of the highbinders' fight to down Hip Lung, Chow Tal and myself, so Lem wrote a letter to the United States officials, signing the name of William Taylor, in which he claimed that Hip " Lung anfl others were doing a wholesale business in securi ing passports for alleged Chicago Chinaman and then selling them through Canadian agents at from 5300 to ?o00 apiece. Lem then went to John F. Seanlan's office at the Special Treasury Agent's request, but Mr. Scanlan says the man he sent for was Hen Lee, a Christian, who he wished to give information concerning certian passports presented here. Hen Lee is Lem Aut. Agents of the highbinders also put the police up to raiding certain Chinese stores where, they said, gambling was in progress. All of these things shows little by little the highbinders are fixing for. a repetition of the old warfare. "This highbinder matter is entirely too serious to us Chinamen to have a sensation made of it," remarked Chow Tal. "Wong Chin Foo, of New York, has been notified, and we and the Hung Suen Tong will take such immediate action as will prevent any murders. Yes, if these fellows carrv on much, as thev have been doing, they will be likely to pick up a defenceless laundryman and murder him. Special Treasury Agent John F. Scanlan vigorously denies that Lem Aut furnished him with the information which led to the detention of the Chinamen in Winnipeg. THIBTY HAITIAN LIVES LOST.

Beantlfnl Story of an Unfinished Poem From the Pen or the Great Humorist. Bill Nye is not a humorist only. He has done literary work of a wider range. Here is something he wlote in 1870: Once, a long time ago, I began to write a poem. It was to be perfect in meter and in rhyme and so truthful in sentiment that thousands of hearts should throb and thrill to its music. I began it with high hopes and christened it with the name of a child. But the work moved slowly and the lines seemed very tame, so I returned again and again to the child model for inspiration and looked into the merry eyes for help. So it came to pass that very little of my time was devoted to the poem and a great deal was to my hero. No slave ever lived under a more unlimited monarchy than I under the reign of a pair of laughing eves, and no true loval subject ever bowed in meeker submission or blessed his sweet bondage as I did, with my neck beneath the dimpled feet of my conqueror. Thus the summer came with the twinkl ing music of the bobolink, the misty blue of June mornings and the evening concerts of the sleepy voiced crickets. The long, dreary days were short to me. for I was under a spell, and the wand of the enchan ter was a baby's tinv rattle. So I still dreamed on of the poem that should crown this summer vision with an ode to my king, the beck of whose chubby hand was my law. But the poem is only halt finished. It was broken off in the middle of a sentence. and now it is growing yellow beneath a pair of little scarlet and white stockings. Those summer days are locked in a frozen sky; the roses and the violets are covered by the drifting snow. With the death of the year came the time for the -waxen hands to be forever still those hands that hold my heartstrings in their eternal stillness; those hands that seem to touch me yet and take me back to that golden summer time when I was trying to write my poem. BTJBBING THE EYES. A Habit Thought to Be Beneflcial Wns Originated by John Qnincy Adami. St. Lonls Globe-Democrat. A great many people will remember a practice that was common about 50 yenrs ago of rubbing the eye in a peculiar way, from the outer to the inner corner, the result being, as was supposed, to strengthen the sight. The practice originated with John Quincy Adams, who had what is called "a weeping eye," disease having caused the closing of some of the dncts, so that he was forced to iipe an ay the over flowing moisture about once in every five minutes. He always wiped his eye from the outer to the inner corner, and "someone, noticing this peculiar action, and knowing also that, although he passed his 80th year, he never used spectacles, connected the'two facts and started the theory that rubbing the eye in the way indicated prevented the changes inseparable from advancing years. For a time all the old people in the country spent half their time rubbing their eyes, but the fad soon died out, and is now scarcely remembered, save by some old man who saw people practicing it when he was a boy.

RIVER MEN'S DISTRESS. NAVIGATION STOPPED IS THE OHIO BELOW CEN'CljrSATI. A Bar Formed Across tho River at Casey ville Steamboats Tied Up In Conse quence Colonel Merrill's Tlews On the Situation No Relief in Sight. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn Cincinnati, Aug. 17. Steamboatmen are in a fever of distress over the situation between here and Cairo. For weeks large boats have reached Cairo only after long and costly delays, reloading and the use of tugs. Now navigation, so far as the large boats are con cerned, is practically at an end and no relief is in sight. The Cincinnati and Memphis packet line gives notice that it will send out no more boats. They claim a loss of 10,000 to 515,000 already and the lay up will lose them the handling of $50, 000 more. Other lines are heavy losers also. Shippers will suffer great incon venience and a large traveling public be disturbed. The cause of the trouble is the formation of a bar at Caseyville, 111., entirely across the river, leaving only 2 feet of water in the channel, apd that is constantly growing less. Colonel Merrill, United States En gineer in charge of Ohio river improve ments, said: "No money for the necessary work can be obtained before next summer. Before that we must make a new survey, for the conditions have become changed since our last examination of the locality. To dredge the bar wonld be useless, I think, as all the excavations would he filled up again speedily. The river is 3,500 feet wide at this point. "To permanently remedy the trouble, the present dyke must be completed and an other one built out from the opposite Ken tucky side. This will bring the water into a narrower channel and confine it there. A rise in the stage of water in the river is the only source of immediate relief ttat is an- t parent unless tne Doatmen manage to maicc -.,.,.. . i an opening with the instruments at their command. "What adds to the difficnltv of the prob lem, from the Government standpoint, is that the Tread water river flows Into the Ohio at this point. Another dyke built as proposed might have the effect of impeding navigation on this river, which is of some importance on account of the mines along its banks. Of course the engineer would not hesitate a moment if it were a question of saving the Ohio commerce at the ex pense of the Treadwatcr. But he hopes to save both and must have time to consider plans therefor." TWO BOLD BANDITS CAPTUBED. They Terrorized West Virginia Farmers and Robbed Trains nf Will.

Tho Jndges Too Lenient on an Officer Con victed of Misapproprlatlnp; Funds. San Antonio, Aug. 15. Brigadier Gen eral Stanley to-day censured the court which tried First Lieutenant Walter H. Chatfield, Fifth Infantry, on account of the merciful sentence imposed. Colonel John J. Coppinger, Twenty-third Infantry, was President of the court martial. Lieutenant Chatfield was tried here last week on two charges conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and conduct to the prejudice oi good order and military discipline. While acting as Assistant Quartermaster of Fort Brown, Tex., he made wrong re ports of money expended to the Quarter master General and used money charged to laborers as a slush fund at the post. The court found him guilty and sentenced Him to be reprimanded by the proper authority. In reviewing the case, Brigadier General Stanley takes the court to task for admit ting irrelevant matter as evidence, and adds in regard to the sentence: In this case the accused officer has en tirely disregarded both articles or -war and regulations and sot up his own rule of ac tion.
