Cincinnati, Aup;. 21. A little man
with & face like a parboiled lobster stuck
his hands between the
lleds and victory. It
was really he who was
the most valuable aide
de camp on General
Galrin's staff, and
ouce more Cincinnati
is marched from its
clubhoue to the soup.
"When the Reds took
the field after they
had stacked up a
couple of hits and
Holliday had spoiled
thing's by contribut
ing a tap, good for a
double play, ".Teems" Kecnan walked out
to cover third. "Lath" was not in the
game. He sat up in a pavilion bos with his
knce swelled out of shape. On Thursday
he and Bierbauer collided on the lines near
second, and four or five hours afterward he
felt as if he had been run through a bowlder
crushing machine. The first chance givon
the Red was laid at Kecnan's feet, or to be
absolutely correct, between his lees, for
Bierbauer's drive went right on through to
the Gladiator.
SHfGART OX DECK AGAIN'.
"The Count" tossed up an easy one and
Shucart rapped it out past McPheo. The
Calliopes tnp to Mullano enabled "Little
l'oion" to reach hecond. With two strikes
on IScckley, "Antonio"' plugged Win with
the ball and filled the bases. Lallyhttthe
ball a tumble crack, but Smith made a fine
stop, touched second and sent the ball to
Keillv Just in time to head off the Xew Eng
land emigrant. Out of a cluster of three
hits and a momentary Juggle by Ilalliran
Pittsburg got a run in tho second. The
hitting of Ilanlnn and Corkhill nere clean
line flies to shoit center. Galvin hit into
light. He was donhlcd with Iticrbauer, and
Smith was the chief actor in the plav.
Charlev lleillj. a had killed a hit for
Smith in the ceond by a flue pick up, dupli
cated the feat at Harrington's expense in
thenevr. The Italians worked in another
run. Lally did the business by u puck to
center alter Miugnrt had earned second.
Thegift that Gitlvin gaic. Holliday in tho
fourth only servtd to let him into a' double
executor. He tried to steal Just as Keenaii
struck out and was nipped. Sandw iclicd
between the -trike outs of Reillv and Gal
vin m the lattel half, "Pop" Corkhill got a
hit and a stolen base. He tried to march
to third but was caught. Tho lleds were
given a
GLIMPSE Or SOMETHING GOOD
in the sixth, but they got nothing but white
wash. Mullane stat ted off on balls and after
Heckle had -mothered McPhee's grounder
lie threw to Sliugart to force the Count, but
"Sweetness"' made a mutt. On Halligan's
fly to center Antonio reached third.
The Gladiator gave really another chance
to make a sensational play and. ho caused
Mullane to be thrown out at home. Holli
day sent a fly to Corkhill Pittsburg was
likewise disappointed, lleckley, who had
reached second on his lilt and Smith's jug
gle, was Killed nt tbiid after Reilly's drive
to short, llaulon made a hit, hut after
Heillj- had taken his namesake's fly McPhce
Jell unon his knees andniadea liiagriiticcnt
massacre ot CarkhiU's hit. Each side
worked In a double up to the seventh, and
there were no le-s than six of tho sort in the

Looks Very Tishy.
St. Louis, Aug. 21. Thp two committees
representing tho League and Association,
which w ill have the work in hand of closing
tho yawning chasm that now separates
them, has been appointed. Tho personel of
the committee which will consist of threo
from each association is not positively
known, but this much can he stated, Chris
Von Der Abe is chairman and 3Ir. Brush, of
Indiannpolis, is a member. It wns at first
decide 1 to meet in Washington, but this has
been changed nnd the meeting will now take
place in some neutral city, owing to the fact
thnt the magnates desire to do their work
secretly. The Western Association will bo
left out of tho conference entirely. It is
stated that peace will onco more reign
wnnina wcoic
Willlng to Compromise.
Bltimoue, Aug. 21. Manager Barnio, of
the Baltimore team, in speaking of the re
port of a resolve by the Association to effect
a compromise with tho League, states that
he, as one of tho Emergency Committee of
the American Association, would not object
to a conference and have matters amicably
adjusted. It should be on tho principle,
however, of the equitable treatment of each
association. Neither association should bo
allowed privileges not accorded the other.
If tho American Association and Lenue
want to re-establish the old policies, Man
ager Barnie says he is perfectly satisfied,
but the American Association will never
play second llddic.

A Plain Statement.
rsrrciAt. telegram to the dispatch.
Usioxtowjt, Aug 21. Tho papers of this
morning contain a defl from the East End
Gyms, which states that Kennedy's colts are
afraid to meet them, but persist in claiming
the championship of Western Pennsylvania.
In relation to this. Manager W. C. McCor
mick writes the. following: "In the first
place there is no such team as 'Kennedy's
colts." Early in the season there was an or
ganization of that kind, but the only club
hero now, is the Cniontown Baseball Club,
managed by the subscriber. This clnb has
ever claimed to bo the champions, but it
has beaten the Jeonnettesand tho Our Boys,
w ho aspire to thnt honor. My club Is ex
clusively a home team, composed of school
boys, none of w bom are professionals. Four
of the plnyers aro under 18, and two are un
der 17 vears of age, while them is but one
voter in the club. The Uniontown club lias
never received a challenge from any of the
County League clubs. Wc are now playing
return games and will be open for dates at
home after the 23th of this month, and will
be pleased to pi ay any of the professionals,
or wonld.be' champions. Wo gnarantee ex
penses, with privilege of halt the gate re
ceipts, on enclosed grounds. Yours,
W. C. AIcCormick, Manager."
Intend to Hustle.
The Climax Baseball Clnb are having some
hard nuts to crack nt tho end of the County
League season and thoy are bewailing their
fate that they did not have their present
strong team at the first of tho season, when
they were scheduled w ith the weaker clubs
in the League. This afternoon they meet
the Bridgcvilles next Saturday the East
End Gyms and the following Saturday
Bridgevilles again. The club has been the
last in tho race all season and Mat Thomp
son is going to make a big effort to land his
team higher than tills leather medal posi
tion. They have been playing good ball
right along nnd have lost a number ot close
games, but they don't seem to get there and
it can't all be attributed to hard luck. X'ext
to their home team tho Climax is a great
f.i orite in the East End and have many ad
mirers in that section of the town, as they
have a couple of East End boys on their
team and sports admire the plucky uphill
game the Climax team have, been playing.
(uite a large crowd will undoubtedly attend
the game, as the League team is out of tho
city and the hist time these two teams came
together in the E.tst End an exciting ton in
ning gjme was the result, ending with tho
score of 4 to 3 in favor of Bridgcville.

Sprikgheld, Aug. 21. There was an end of
the Hampden Park meeting to-day. Only
onoraco unfinished after a very successful

but the rain held off and the horses were
called early. The patronage wns not as
large as on the two preceding days, but the
weather was to blame. The 2:17 class, which
was a remnant from Thursday, camo first,

Tho onlv question regarding the free-for-all
pace was how last Yolo Maid could make
Hal Pointer go and this was decided, for as
in their previous encounters, the Maid led
till Goers got ready to drive and she w ent to
the half in 1.05$, kept tho clip up to the
quarter but could not stand the gelding's
challenge and he beat her by a length in
2:10. McDowell took tho mare back in the
second heat and Johnston tried his hand but
he wns nr. easy victim, a milo in 2:14 leav
ing him far behind Hal Pointer. When Yolo
Maid cut loose again tho pace wasfastoras
she went to the quarter in 62 seconds,
reached tho half in 1:05 and then gave Hup,
coming home while the invincible Tennos

HER-ALDS OF UNREST.
The Alliance Statesmen From Kansas
Speak at Mt. Gretna.
.EX-LIEUTENMT GOVERNOR BLACK
Delivers an Address Introducing Peffer
and Jerry Simpson.
MINOR NEWS FROM TOE TIIREE STATES
fSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Mt. Grekta, Aug. 21. The Farmers'
Encampment closed to-day, so far as speech
making is concerned. About .5,000 people
arrived to-day. Ex-Lieutenant Governor
Black made an hour's speech, in favor of a
secret ballot and a constitutional conven
tion to ensure it. After referring to Sena
tor Peffer and Congressman Simpson, of
Kansas, as heralds of the unrest prevailing
throughout the country, and stating that
the same unrest existed in this State, he
dwelt on tho great wealth and boundless re
sources of Pennsylvania.
What Was wanted in this State was hon
est government responsible to the people
to make it the most powerful Common
wealth in the world. Such a government
was lacking, and everything was going from
bad to worse. Tho interest of no class of
citizens was fairly considered by tho Legis
lature, and the farmers suffered like tho
workingmen. Tho whole business of the
State Government was in tho grasp or a few
men. The votes of independent nnd unor
ganized citizens were overcome by tho
money or tho class who thrived on special
privileges and by tho intimidated vote of
their employes.
YOTES CONTBOLLED BY CAPITAL.
Reference was mado to the vast multitudes
of voters in the service of transportation
companies, in mines nnd factories, all of
whom were more or less Influenced nt tho
polls by their employers thousands of them
controlled absolutely. These votes killed
the honest votes of tho farmers and other In
dependent citizens. Farmers had long
battled for equal taxation, but they never
would succeed while their cause was subject
to tho decision of a Senate and House be
tween which the bosses and corporations
managed to kill every such measure.
In the Constitutional Convention every
member would have to shout on his own re
sponsibility. A provision could readily bo
inserted in tho Constitution, coirocting the
gross inequality of tnxation on personalty
and realty. He scoffed at the idea of danger
in a convention. The bosses assnrod tho
people In one breath that corporations and
cranks would control It. The convention
would submit separately any proposition
about which there was any doubt. The
Australian ballot would certainly come out
or a Constitutional Convention. Xo mem
ber of thnt body would daro Voto against it,
and nine-tenths of the voters In the State
would ratify tho action of the convention.
He said' the attitude of tho Republican
bosses, Qhay and Mazee, in uniting in prac
tically declaring against a conventlonfora
free ballot, ought to show independent citi
zens of all nartios where tho public interest
lies. Since tho bosses did not desire a free
ballot It wns very certain thnt the people
should deslte nnd provide for it.
THE KANSAS STATESMEN SrEAK.
Congressman Slmptn agreeably aston
ished his flstcnors by tho nblo manner in
which he presented his views of politics.
He defended the sub-Treasury scheme, nnd
claimed thnt the United Stntes Government
was recognizing the principle underlying it
in its business with National banks, etc. He
adversely criticised the Democrats for pass
ing a tariff bill which ptovlded hlgheraver
age duties than any previous measure on the
subject, and only a little lower than tho Mc
Kinleylaw. The Republicans were roundly
denouncod for their efforts to fool the farm
ers by imposing duties on wheat, pota
toes and eggs, while other features of
tho tariff placed thorn nt great disadvan
tage, especially those permitting agricul
tural Implements manufactured In this coun
try to bo sold cheaper in Europe than here.
Agitation in favor of tho Australian ballot
was urged as a great step toward the rectifi
cation of ofllcial abuses. He referred to the
admission of Ingalls that he was a statesman
out of n job, and said that Quay and McKln
ley would probably bo served the same way
soon.
Senator Peffer repeated tho speech he has
been delivering in different portions of the
country. W. M. Derr, of Lebanon, spoke of
the abuses in Pennsylvania politics.
HALF HUMAN, HALF COLT.
An Ohio Freak AYhlch, K It Lives, Must
Walk on All Fours.
St. Mary's, Aug. 21. A monstrosity in the
shape or anewly-born child Is attracting a
great deal or attention in tho neighborhood
of Yorkshire, a village in Dark county, 19
miles from here. Tne shoulder blades of tho
curiosity aro more than normally dovoloped.
In fact the abnormal portion begins at the
throat, increasing remarkably downward.
The chest Is somewhat rounded on the bar-rel-shapcd
order. On the little one's shoul
ders is a lump, dark colored, which is
claimed by medical men to bo the result of
"spina befldo,'" or cloven spine. This lump
hns opened, nnd physiclnns say it will soon
cause the death of the child.
The most remarkable part of the child is
the portion from the hips down, which great
ly resemb'o that portion or a colt. The legs
are set at a right angle with the body. They
have no backward, but, on the contraiy, a
perceptible rorward motion. They cannot be
straightoned out, and the child, if it lives,
will be obliged to walk on all fours. Then tho
feet are ball-shaped, one resembling that of
a young coit, wuiie tne oiner is more neany
normal.
DESPERADOES IK CHUECH.
They Open Up a Fusilade on tho Congrega

Charleston, W. Va., Aug. 21. A desperate
affray is reported from Pineville, Wyoming
connty. which resulted in the serious wound
ing of Sheriff Lambert and tho llnal capture
of two desperadoes. Famous "Grandpap"
Rules and his grandson Joe. both under the

Considerable Interest Is being taken In private
yachts at present. Almost any evening small
steamers can be seen darting about on the placid
waters of the two rivers. It Is getting to be quite
the fad to own a yacht, and it will not be long be
fore they will become as numerous as the sklfl on
the waters in this vicinity. About the only draw
back is that owners who operate their own craft
must have a license, which necessitates the study
ing or the rivers and also how to run a boal.

Conductor Keid says that he stopped the
train to let off a colored woman, and when
the train started he saw no one get on, but
the engineer says he saw three men get on
the front platform of the express car.
Express Messenger Byrne says that just
as the train left Collins, a man entered the
car with a revolver in his hand, followed
by two other men. The men were of a
medium size and wore, as masks, portions
of black hats and black aprons. The rob
bers ordered him, at the point of their
pistols, to unlock the safe, which he did.
After ransacking the safe, the men rung the
bell, and, as the train slowed tin, jumped
off nnd disappeared into the woods. Byrne
savs he does not know the amount secured
by the robbers. It is believed that the
negro woman who got off the train was an
accomplice of the robbers.
