There must be a fate dogging the heels of
the local ball team of the most determined
kind. "Whether or not
there be any truth in
witchery or hoodooisra,
the fact remains that our
sluggers are time and
again beaten in the most
remarkable way, and just
when their admirers have
made up their minds that
victory has come at last.
And combined with the I
hoodoo surroundings of
our team at present tbey
are contending with an
aggregation who have been
favored with the most ex
traordinary kind of good
luck that has smiled on a ball team for many
a dav. If there is such a thing as luck,
Captain Anson has a very exclusive monop
oly of it this year. Old Dame Fortune is
giving the sturdy Captain all the good
things: on him is bestowing all of her ra
diant smiles. This is not said in disparage
ment of the very good team that the
FAMOUS MAN FROM CHICAGO
has with him; but it is said to point out
if the fickle dame had been so generous with
our sluggers yesterday as she was with the
visitors the result wouldnave been different;
the home players would not again have been
beaten. Just think of it. At one stage of
the game, tbe eighth inning, with the home
players two runs ahead, two of the Chicago
plaj ers were out ana Fred Pfeffer, the third
man at bat, knocked the ball to the ground
about sis inches from the plate, not inten
tionally, and it lay there. As a result he got
safely to first base on that measly little
s-crutch hit and then a triple.two singles and
a disastrous error by Ilanlon followed, win
ning the game for the visitors.
Well, it is useless to cry over spilt milk.
Probably nobody deserved a victory more
than Anson. The contest was a very good
one and the 1,000 people thought so. True
the game contained a number of palpable
errors, but they did not figure in the run
petting except in the eighth inning, when
Ilanlon fumbled a grounder. Coikhill played
ery well in the field and Shugart did ex
tremely well both at out and at short. It
would be a blessing if tbe team contained a
a few more Miugarts. Old Sport Galvin was
m good pitching lorm and really had the

JSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.)
Springfield, Mass., Aug. 18. At last favor
ites had a field day in the Grand Circuit, as
the three races at the opening of the Hamp
den Park all w ent to the horses that carried
the bulk of money. It took 12 heats to clour
the card, and the dull sky shut out the day
light so early that it was almost too dark to
distinguish the gait of the horses when the
last heat was trotted. It was a trying day to
man and beast, the murky sky making it
very uncomfortable, and the rain which fell
earlv threatened to interfere seriously with
the progress of the sport. It held off after
me iracK was

Question. Start
ing Judge Drew got the Holds away promptly
after tlio 2:21 trotters had given him a good,
deal of tronhlo in the opening heat. X. T.H.

two heats while Dusty Miller tripped away
In the lead each timo and seemed good for
first money. Her chances were hindered by
the start iii the third heat wheie she was far
enough back to make it easy for Martha
Wilkes to get the pole and a brenk settled
the little maro for that time. X. T. II. got
his right foot foremost and beat Martha
Wilkes from tho distance. After that the
Tennessee trotter landed in front ouch timo,
though he showed a good deal of leg weari
ness in the last two miles. Martha Wilkes
was not ready for a hard race or she might
have changed matters especially in the last
one where X. T. H. went to pieces going
away and had to close a long gap.

visitors in aire aimculties until that verv
iinfortunate eighth inning came. And ft
camejustassureasif It had been made to
order.
The visitors played a good game and
fielded in flrst-clas style. Gumbert pitched
Admirably, although once or twice it looked
ms if he was going to be the recipient of a
sound trouncing. But he held well together
and everything came out all right for him.
The fouith inning was reached befoic a
run was made and thon the League leaders
made it. Bums led off with a single and a
sacrifice each bv Pfeffer and Gumbert sent
linn to thud. Then Tommy ambled home
on a single by Kittridgc.
CREATED SOME ENTHUSIASM.
In the fifth inning the home talent caused
considerable enthusiasm to display Itself by
making three runs and they looked very big
when they had been called. Corkhill led
ciifthe inning and made a s.ngle. Calvin's
giounder forced Corkhill out at second
mill then Ilanlon forced Old Sport out at the
t-ocond stage also. Shugart came with a
s.ngle and then Beckley banged out a three
bagger to right, scoring Ilanlon andShugart.
Miller knocked a hot grounder to Burns and
Tommy fumbled it, Beckley scoring and Mil
ler goiiig to first, where he was left. This
was all crv cheering to home team partisan-
and victory looked tolerably sure, bc-
rause Old Sport was in rare lorm and it was
thought that Gumbert's measure hud been
louud.
But there was an impending doom and it
looked a if something was going to drop in
the seventh inning, as Rvan led off for the
visitors with n corking three-bagger to right
center field. But by good fielding and pitch
ing Ryan was held at third until three men
weie tetiivd
The eighth inning came and the knell was
tolled. Cliff Can oil led off and flicdont to
!kbilland Tommy Burns was retired at
first. At this stage matters looked extreme
ly bright, indeed, for the home heroes. For
once a halo of victory" began to surround the
team as Pfeffer walked up to the plate.
FRED'S LUCKY niT.
Fred wanted lo knock tbe ball onioftue
3u and he struck savagely. In one of his
cllorts bis bat really felled the ball to the
ground and It lay there just a few inches in
Irontof the plate, and before either Miller
r Gal vin could get to it Pfeffer was smiling
at lli-st.
"There's luck for you," was the general
romaik.
Then came Addison Gumbert, and to make
matters worse he thumped the ball tothe
lelt field fence for three bases, scoring Pfef
Jcr. Then came Kittridge and he lined a
lior single to left garden scoring Gumbert.
Ryan cime next with a single to loft and
liimlon fumbled it long enough to allow
Kittridse to score what turned out to be the
winning run. Ryan, in trying to reach third
oh the error, was thrown out at that base.
The score:
Some Sew Players Expected to Take Fart
In To-Day's Game.
To-day's game at Exposition Park will be
the last this season In which the Chicago
team will take part here and if the weather
is fine in nil probability it will be another
hard fought one. Anson Is more confident
than ever that his team w ill win the pen
nant. The management of the local team expect
that Frank Ward and Lally will bo here in
time to play in the game. Lally is a right
fielder and comes highly recommended. If
he plays he will likely be in Carroll's place.
Ward, if he arrives in time, n ill be at third
base and Rcilly w ill probably be In tho out
field. At least that was the arrangement
decided upon yesterday. Altogether if the
new men get here there will be some inter
esting features in the game.
The local management have also been in
communication with Sick Johnson and
Arthur Whitney. They were asked to for
ward their terms and one or both of them
are expected here. It is understood that if
a suitable outfielder Is secured Carroll will
be the first to be released and It will be no
surpilse if there is an entirely new outfield
during the next few days.
A special from St, Louis says: Third Base
man Whitney is in a quandary about where
he will go. .He has offers from Xow- York.
Pittsburg and olumbus aud has sent his
terms to Pittsburg. He wants to stay in the
hiihti tlller.

Denver, Col., Aug. 13. L. C. Kranthoff,
President of the Western BasebaltiVsSocia
tion, and John W. Speas, Preside'flt of the
Kansas City club, arrived here last night.
They have been prowling around tho Yel

To reach some magnificent scenery It was
necessary to undertake a 75 mile stage coach
ride. This is what Mr. Krauthoff says about
it: "While Journeying along the stace sud
denly stopped with a Jerk that piled us in a
heap in one corner. Two seven-shooters
wore at the windows of the coach and we
were politely asked by two masked men to
hand over our valuables. We passed over
what little chance we had, amounting to
over $800 in cash, besides a watch or two and
some little trinkets After thanking us for
our kindness the men turned tbe coach
around and told us the best thing we could
do would be to turn back for the railroad
station at once. Wc started and on reach
ing a telcgranh office had to send home for
money to continue our journey.

"Washington, Aug. 18 The Eussian
Czar has officially decided on the new rifle
to be adopted by the Russian Army. The
arm will differ from the French rifle in cali
bre by .01 part of an inch. This informa
tion was received yesterday by cable by the
Government authorities in "Washington.
The fact was simultaneously cabled to Lord
Salisbury and the French Minister of "War
from Russia.
This decision of the Czar, it is declared
by Government ofhcials, is of more import
ance, politically, than any number of bom
bastic speeches." It means that whatever
alliance is now formed between Kussia and
France will be tempered by tho knowledge
that the Czar does not wholly trust theMat
ter country.
To clearly understand the political signifi
cance of the Czar's decision, it should be
known that no two nations iu Europe have
adopted the same caliber of small arm. The
rifles of two powers may be identical in
pattern and yet differ in caliber by .001
part of an inch. Hy thus differing in size,
infinitesimal though the difference may be,
it becomes impossible for a victorious army
to use captured ammunition on its original
users. .
THE RESULT OF EXPERI5IENTS.
The Russian Government has been ex
perimenting during the last two years with
the view of obtaining a new arm for the
troops, the present weapon, the Itussian
needle gun, being inferior to the arms now
in use by other powers. After various
tests the Russian authorities finally decided
on a central magazine sy.-teni and the bolt
principle of mechnnlsm; in other words, the
Lee gun.
The present calibre of the French rifle is
,3112. The gun, which is the Lebel, has not
proved wholly satisfactory. It will be al
tered, but for economy's sake the calibie
will remain the same. There are at present
millions upon millions of .3112 cartridges
stored in the great arsenals of France.
French officers have worked assiduous
ly to Induce Russia to adopt the same
calibre arm as their own. To do so meant
virtually an alliance. It provided the means
of supplying France with material assist
ance in time of war. France might be over
run, French arsenals destroyed, but the
cartridge supply from Russia would still en
able French rifics to continue work.
Until Inst Saturday French military men
hnvc hoped that Russia would decide on the
.3112 calibie. The cable announces that in
the final trial of the;new rifle the Czar turned
to his War Minister and quietly said; "This
gnu will be adopted. It shall be called 'the
new Russian three-line gun of '91.' It9 cali
bre shall be .3342 inch. Prosocute the manu
facture of the new weapons as rapidly n.s
possible." Later information states "that
the Czar brought the calibre down nearer to
.300 part of an inch.
TO BE MADE IN FRANCE.
The now Russian arm is to be manufact
ured in France, where extensive small
arm establishments have, it is stated, al
ready signed preliminary contracts. It is
estimated that it will take at least three
years to effect the re-armament of the Rus
sian Army unless the work is carried on at
night, when the time can be shortened by
one-half. As soon as the work is well under
way, it is calculated that at least 1,600
rifles can be turned out in one day. No gun
will be accepted until 5,000 rounds of ammu
nition are ready for it. The new Russian
arm is reallv the Mnnson rifle, a type of the
Lee arm. This Leo arm is the weapon re
cently adopted for use in the British army.
It is an American invention.
The expression "three line," used by tho
Czar in the naming of the new Russian gun.
is not understood by military men here.
Soiiieare inclined to considcrit equivalent
to the term "Mark III." Different models
of guns are designated by "marks." The
first gun of a type is known as Mark I. A
later tvpe, an improvement on the first, is
Mark II., and soon. The Leo gun now in
use in tlio Russian army is of the Mark II.
pattern. All of the recent British guns that
have tailed are of the Mark I. pattern.
It is thought possible that, in ordering sev
eral minor alterations in the Mark II.
I Bittern, tho Czar believes he is giving the
lussian army tho most superior rifle in the
world. As it is, the present British rifle is
considered ahead of anything on the Con
tinent. To improve upon it and designate
the improvement is believed to be the real
meauing of the Czar's term, "three line."
SURE TO WASTE CARTRIDGES.
Xo w ell-nostod military man hero believes
for a moment that in designing a new riflo
France will alter her .3142-caliber. To do so
means the waste of millions upon millions
of cartridges wholly unsuited for any other
calibie. French and Russian troops may yet
be lound fighting shoulder to shoulder some
common enemy, but the men of the two na
tions will have to fight with different
calibre cartridges in their respective
belts. Tho alliance, if one is 'over
formed, will always be the weaker by virtue
of this tact, and in war it may be the cause
of disaster to tho tn o powers. It is deemed
evident that the Czar's old distrust of
France is still more powerful than his belief
in this nation's trustworthiness. The Czar,
to all appearances, is determined that France
shall never have it in her power to
turn on her old enemy of the north,
and with his captured arms and ammu
nition play havoc with his troops. Dinners
may be given, fetes attended, toasts drank,
but the alteration of "1" to ' 0" in the com
bination '.3I42,"makes impotent any French
and Russian alliance.
The information just received iu this
country is an indication of the alertness of
the United States Government to affairs on
tlio Continent. The establishment of the
Xaval Intelligence Office in the Navy Depart
ment with a corps of trained and specially-fitted
officers to conduqt tho busi
ness of the oflice, makes It possible to
obtain information in all military aud naval
occurrences in an incredibly short time.
Detailed information is filed for future
refeience, while an event such as the above
is placed before the proper Government
heads for consideration. The real signi
ficance of such military' information as is
here given is at first thorougly recognized
only by the trained and experienced mili
tary man, and in consequence no officer, as a
rule, is ever sent abroad as naval attache
who is noi specially fitted for the duty.

A Rope and a Knife Fonnd Concealed in
His Coll An Attempt to Escape From
Prison To Be Hung Thursday.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.)
Columbus, O., Aug. 18. Ed Blair, the
Putnam county murderer, who is to be ex
ecuted at the penitentiary Thursday night,
is making every effort to take his life.
Some weeks ago he cut a hole in the stone
floor of his cell, but his work was discov
ered in time to prevent his escape. "War
den Dyer has been uneasy since and has
kept a closo watch upon the prisoner. Ho
concluded last night he would remove
Blair from the range below, where ho has
been kept with the others condemned, to
tho cell above, and sent a force with the
depntv warden to perforin this work at 5
o'clock this morning.
Blair refused to go and wanted to see the
warden. A new force was called in and the
prisoner was taken out of his cell byjforce and
transferred. Tbe principal object of the re
moval was to get a chance to inspect the cell
which he lias occupied and learn if there
was anything with which ho could commit
suicide" In the pillow was, found a rope
made from one of the sheets in hLsbedand
in the tick was a brick. Having found those
things it was decided to. inspect soino bed
ding which had been taken out of tho cell
last Friday and a large knife was found se
creted. There is no doubt that Blair intended to
take his life after he found all hope of a
reprieve to a later day was gone. His sister
Laura has been a daily visitor to his ccll.and
it is believed she has furnished-him the im
nlemcnts with which to cheat the gallows.
A double guard has been placed on duty.and
Blair will be kept in sight till ho is executed
Thursday night in tho hope of preventing
him taking the law in his own hands. Blair
was originally sent to the prison from Hills
boro, Highland county, and escaped, and it
was while a fugitive from justice that ha
committed the murder for which he is to
hang.

Tho Defense of the Seized Ethel's Captain
X'ot Borne Ont by the Facts.
Washington, Aug. 18. Captain Hooper,
commanding the revenue steamer Corwin,
reports to tho treasury department, under
date of Onnalaska July 31, that whllo cruis
ing in the vicinity of the Pribyloff Islands.
July 28, he seized tho schooner Ethel, hail
ing from San Diego, Cab, for violation of the
President's proclamation. The Ethel he says
sailed from San Franoisco, May 2, on a hunt
ing and fishing voyage and entered Bering
Sea July 3, and appears to have remained
near the Seal Islands until seized. Contin
ous thick fogs prevented her being seen
before.
The master admitted the filing of guns
from bU vessel, but said that some of the
crew had merely fired at a tin can for amuse
ment. Ho expressed surprise when told of
his close proximity to the seal islands, and
said ho thought he was SO cr 40 miles from
them. AVhen seized, there were found on
the Ethel 181 salted fur sealskins; 29 fresh fur
skius; 11 unborn pup sealskins; two
other skins, one year sealskin and 200
pounds of whalebone. Tho vessel had a
a complete scaling outfit witli boats, guns,
ammunition, salt, etc. She was surrounded
by seals at the time. So plentiful and fear
less wore they, said Captain Hooper, that
several might have been killed from the
Corwin's deck while lying near the Ethel.
If Blaine Is Indorsed In the Pennsylvania
State Convention AH Eyes Now Turned
on the Keystone State Mugwumps Get
ting In Line.
(FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.)
"Washington, Aug. 18. All eyes are
turned from "Washington to Harrisburg
with curiosity to know what action will be
taken in regard to Blaine. It is generally
admitted that if the convention formally in
dorses Blaine lor the Presidental nomina
tion next year it will bnt clinch the now
almost universal opinion that a fight is to
bo made against Harrison all along tho line,
and if this bo the case it Is also the almost
universal opinion that Harrison will an
nounce that he Is not a candidate for re-nomination.
The popularity of Blaine is surprising even
to his friends. All of the old timo bitter fac
tional enmity seems to have passed away. A
gentleman who wn9 among the most earnest
and conscientious opponents or Blaine in
1884, who .scratched his name from the ticket
at that time and has been normlnrlv consid
ered a mugn ump of the bluest kind, said to-
..., ,...v ub nuutu lutuiui JJlflUie 11 J1UU11-
nated; that ho had shown himself to be a
very much safer and abler man than his
former opponents had thought; that he was
now the greatest leader in tho Republican
party, and the only one whocouldbe elected.
Ho said that he didn't alone hold this opin
ion, but that it was held by many who had
formerly opposed Blaine.
They believed that they were right In
their opposition in the past, but that what
ever faults Blaine had he w ould now stand a
better chance of election and could be de
pended upon to give his party a safe, strong
and respectable administration. He de
clared that it was because of this feeling,
and not on account of a spirit of discord,
that men formerly opposed to Blaine now
looked favorably upon him as a candidate.
A number of Pennsylvanlans in office here
went to Harrisburg to-dav, among them
Hon. S. V, Holliday, Commissioner of Cus
toms; Comptroller Gilkeson, J. I. Rankin,
Deputy Sixth Auditor, and W. M. Henry,
Chief of the Division of Indian Accounts.

them seemed to understand my case, how
ever, and this treatment instead of curing
me seemed in reality to aggravate my case.
I almost despaired of ever being any better,
when my attention was attracted to the
Electropathic Institute of 507 Penn avenue,
Pittsburg, aud its method of treatment.
"I called on the physicians in charge and
they made an electrical diagnosis of my
case, discovered the true nature of the
disease and pronounced it curable. The re
sult has verified their verdict. I am cured.
Every one of my horrible symptoms are
gone, and I feel like a new man. My
catarrh, my deafness and the discharges
from my ears are thoroughly cured. My
general health is better than it has been for
years, and my exhausted nervous system
has been completely built up, and, in fact,
I AJI A WELL MAN
and have been able to resume my occupa
tion and suffer no inconvenience whatever
ftommv old trouble. I cannot too highly
commend the physicians of the Electro
pathic Institute for their skill and science,
their perfect and varied electric appliances
and their intelligent use of them, as shown
in mv desperate ease."
This voung man is, as has been said, very
favorably known in the village of Port
Perry, and his rapid and complete recovery
from an apparently incurable disease of
years standing has given great surprise as
well as much pleasure to his numerous
friends there.

It felt as though a band of iron was tightly

attended with almost unbearable pain.
"I had some of the best physicians in the
two cities attending me, yet they all were in
