Baltimore 13 Washington Boston. .... ..... 5 Athletics ......... All the patrons of the home team who saw yesterday's game at Exposition Park w ore sullies as big as that which lights up the countenance of our mutual friend whose picture heads this column. The smiles were happy ones be cause our sluggors beat the big people from Boston in an argument that was close and exciting. To down those fel" lows from Boston is not an easy task. They are tough citi zens in a baseball game and they are hot; aye v err hot after the pennant. They came to Pittsburg this trip fully assured of three straight and, judging from yesterday's con lest, they are liable to not get a came at all. IVithout doubt the sluggers have got ten down to work nnd when they cannot sJug they ston tho other fellow s from doing so and that is Jut as Important and use luL They Both Did Well. There wore two prominent performers in yesterday's ghmo as far as the getting of victory was concerned, viz.: Keilly and 1! lid win, they plnyed their parts nobly aud to Roilly's cry tlmelv and frequent hitting as much as anything else mutbc attributed the success of the local heroes. Mr. Keilly went through the contest with flying colors., lie had three lilt and on each occasion runs were the result That is Just what is re quired in h ball came and piobably the 'vola tile thirdleniaii never hit to greater advantage than he did yesterday. And Bald in pitched just as he can inch when lie is m form The bittern from Boston could do nothing with him. He was cool and vig orous and was supported to the Queen's taste bv Miller. But tl e entire team did well, and it is only fnirtoaj that they are showing a great im provement on their past efforts. They pliyed as a team and not as individuals, which has so often been their downfall. Han lon, Corkhill, Sbugart, Beckley, in short, all of them did well, and if they can keep up their gate of vebterdny they will down more pennant aspirants than the Bostons. The litoiput up an excellent game, as they invariably do. Long, who plavedat Mmrt, was a little fault, but had his errors not been made the visitors would still have ben beaten Nichols pitched a good game, but hit w ere made tiff his rteliv erj'J ust w hero they weie needed; and, lor once, in this re spect, Dame Fortune bestowed hersmiles on the home talent. At times it looked as if Nichols was going to bo touched up merrily, bmhe always pulled himself together and made an extremely hard light of it. QUITE A GOOD ARGUMENT. The contest was an eicltmg one, even when the home plajers had thiee runs the best of it. Almost until the last man was out the 1,153 people w ho paid to witness the game were on pins and needles because everybody was expecting the Boston terrors to do something extraordinarj. But Bald win had their meanure and they were very cleverly beaten at the finish. Tiie visitors were the first to score and when the did so the majority ot spectators liegan to think that certain defeat was once more in store for our heroes. The fourth inning was reached before a tally was made. I.owe led oil foi the Bostons and made a 3iiee e'enn hit to middle Held. A sacrifice Mch bj Nash and Brodie ont Lowe to third sind Tucker loomed up w ith a two-bagger to Jelt held In the next inning the home team went the isilors one better Iteillv led off and made an exc "Bent hunt, and reached first in safety. Corkhill reached first on a fumble by Long after Keilly had stolen second. Bildnin sacrificed Corkhill to second, but Keilly dared not venture home With a man on third nnd another on second Bierbauer banged out a comfortable two-bagger to right and sent the two runs home. Long retired the side b making a beautiful catch of a linei ij Shugart, and nabbimr Bierbauer oil tecond at the same time The lsitors failed to score in their half nnd m the sixth our sluggers netted two more runs, fter Miller was out Beeklev reached first on a fumble b Long, and Lally jrot bis Dase on ball and Hanlau made a single, flllinir tho bases. KEILLY LOOMED UP. Then came Mr Keilly. Hu sized the situ ation up and thumped out a corking slnglo Just ever Long' head. In came two runs, nnd Hanlon was donned trying to make third on the hit. In the seventh inning the visitors got dan gcrouslj near to our champions. Tlio score wa 4 to 1 in favor of the home team. Tucker i-tarted off for the visitors and got his baso on balls. Kelly Knocked a grounder which Keilly picked up in great stvle. He threw the ball to second, and as Bierbauer was a little slow in getting to that bag, he muffed tht throw nnd Tucker was safe on second, lvclly all right at first Ganzell's sacrifice ui anced each man a base, and then Nichols surprised evcrjbodv by making a single over second base, sending In tvv o runs. But the isitors scored no more. In the ninth Lally led off and got his base on balls Hanlon filed out to Stove, and Rcill once more mado a splendid single to eft, sending Lally to third.

A Condition that Injures Their Chance to Tiin the Pennant. An Iiistern authority lias the following to say relative to the Chicago team: "Tho Chicago Captain has just added a new battery to his team, and as Yickery and Miriev er were with tho Philadclphlas nnd did creditable work with that team n year ago, they cannot be classified as experi ments. Since Vickery left the League he has had good training in the Milwaukee Club of the Western Association, and he has full control of the ball. Sliricvor will be remembered for his pluck and hardhitting while a member of the Philadelphia club. These men will strengthen the Chlcagos, vv ho have gradually increased their lead agaii since they returned home. By the time thftv np-aiu enme East tliev mav hn sn lar ahead that any reverses they may meetH w ltn win oe overcome. ''This is v, hat Ansou is calculating on, as he will have onlv six games on his own grounds when he returns fiom his last Eastern trip. This may not be ot any disad vantage, considering that he has won games from Cincinnati, Clcvclandand Pittsburg with as great ease awavfrom home as ho did in Chicago. The fact that the Chlcagos bave so many g-imes to nlav awaj from home toward the close of the season, hilo the giants plav most of theirs at home, has encouraged Manager Mutrie to bet on winning tho championship." Downed the Goalds, ITrTCTAI. TFLEQRAM TO THE DISrATCII.1 Elizabeth, Aug. 24. There was another ox cltinc game of baseball here to-day betwoen the Goulds, of McKeesport, and tne J. D.

THE CHICAGO SPORT USES A KNIFE, And Inflicts a Peep Gash in the Fighter's Jvcck During a Drunken Row. THE TICTIM IN A SERIOUS CONDITION tSrECIAL TELFGRAM TO THE DIRrATCII. Mt. Clemess, Aug. 24. This morninc, between 1 and 2 o'clock, the people of Mt. Clemens were startled by the report that Parson Davies had killed Pugilist Jim Hall by stabbing him in the neck while engaged in a drunken row at the Avery House. The report that a murder had been committed spread like wildfire, and a more excited lot of guests were never seen than was at the Avery last night. Davies, in company with Hall, came to ML Clemens two weeks ago, taking rooms at the Avery House, which they have since made headquarters. They came here for the purpose of indulging in the recuperat ing qualities of the ML Clemens water and were getting along nicely until a few days ago, when dissension began w ith the in auguration of an old-time spree which may yet culminate in murder. About 12 o'clock Sunday a large party of sports paid a visit to McSweeny's clubhouse, about four miles east of town on St. Clair lake. THE WINE FLOWED FKEELT. Here champagne was the order of things, and it soon became apparent to the friends of both Divies and Hall that thoie was not tho most pacific relations existing between the noted sports, and Davies gave Hall $25, which he soon spent at the bar and then de manded $59 more, w hlch Davies refused to give him. Hall called Davies all sorts of names, which more likely would have terminated in a shooting match had not friends interfered. The matterwas hushed up for the time be ing, but was again renewed when they re turned to the Avery about 8 o'clock. Hall had been drinking pretty henaily, aud was also in a bad frame. of mind. He demandod of Davies to settle up with bun, 'and that, too, very quick. Davies left the room and went downstairs and was taking a drink with some friends when Hall entered the room. Davies asked him to Join them, but ho re fused, and again demanded that Divies set tle' up. Hot words ensued. Hall calling Davies all manner of hard names, the Parson retaliatlnc in the name, manner. The trouble was again bridged over and both men, together with two or three friends, went back up stairs to their apartments. Betw een 12 and 1 o'clock the party returned to the barroom, when Hall for the third time demanded that Davies settle. Dav ies told him that the proprietot was in bed and that it was Impossible to fix their affairs up that night and besides he was diunk and did not know what he was doing. WEAPONS BEGAN TO FLY. This enraged Hall, and snatcmng a bottlo of wine from the bar let drive at Davies, who managed to get out of the way, but a friend of Davies' standing at his side received the bottle In the stomach. Hall kept thieaten ingDa'v ies what else he would do with him, and the .Parson retaliated by saying: "If you do I will make you get down on your knees." Hall then grabbed up a heavy piece of iron used to open botes, aud was in the act of hurling it at tho Parson's head, when he, quick ns a flash, seized a lemon knife from tho countei, and, with the agility of a cat, sprang at Hall, cutting a deep gash about four inches long from below the left ear don nunder the chin Just missing the Jugular vein by a hair's breadth. Hall dropped to tne noor uieccnng nice a stuck nog, ana lor a time those present thought he would die, nnd seeing Hall's precarious condition, Davis turned to his Chicago friends and said: "What will I doT Hadn't I bettor skipT" and his friends ad ised him to face the music and await results. When Hall was raised from the floor he said to Davies: "I am to blame and you did nothing wrong in defending yourself. It was only a ques tion of which of us got it." Davies then turned to nail and offered him the knife, saying: "Now use this on me Just as I have on you." Dr. Taylor was called in and dressed Hall's wound. When he was taken to Parson's room the giettest excitement prevniled and for a time it was thought the wounded man could not live. THE SHEltrFr ON THE SCENE. Sheriff Culver was telephoned for and in company with his deputy reached the hotel about 1:30 and found Davies locked in the room with Hall and tho Sheriff demanded Davies to open the door, which he refused to do. The night cleik insisted that he break in the door w ith an nxc, but this he refused to do and sat dovv n to w ait for Da ies to como out. In a few minutes D.iv ies made his ap pearance and gave himself up. Ho said to the Sheriff that he did not want to be placed under arrest, but that he could be found in Hall's room at any time when wanted. The Sheriff concluded that as Davies acted in self-defense ho would not place him in durance vile. Hall is unquestionably in a precarions condition, although every effort is being made to oonaey a different impres sion. Davies has not been out of Hall's room during the day and refused to see even his most intimate iriends. The doctor has for bid any one Tinting Hall, and to-night it is hard to ascertain his ical condition, but as above stated it is generally thought his case is serious. The doctor says Hall will pull through if inflammation does not set in. THE FUTUEITY STAKES. A Great Field Expected to Start for the Big Event. New York, Aug. 24 From present Indica tions the Futurity of 1S31 will be a momor able contest. There -nill in nil probability be mora than 20 starters, a, great many own ers thinking thoir chances of victory second to none since His Highness must carry 130 pounds and St. Florian will be an absentee. At present Dagonet is spoken of by many shrewd horsemen as the probable winner, nnd Mr. John Hunter thinks that his colt's chunces aro rosy indeed. Ho is in a bad way about a jockey, though, and would be glad to get Hamilton. He asked Mr. Dwyer if Hamilton could take the mount more than a week ago. Mr.Dwj ersaia that the race was too lar away, and lie did not know whether he vt ould sta.i t any of his own in it or not. Huron's praises have been sung so per sistently by Western racing men that many re anxious to learn just how fast lie io. There is no easier w ay to ascertain his true btanding than by starting him in the Futur ity. The board of stewards of the Coney Island Jockey Club will this week consider the Huron case in all its phases, .ind gie their decision ns to tho colt's eligibility. General .Tneksonnnd Ed Corrian both claiin that they had nothing todo with hN declara tion from the Futiuity, and Green B. Moiris is putting the llnishuig touches on the son of Iroquois, sir Matthew, the Junior Cham pion winner; Victor, who dciented His Highness once: Itashford, a nailing good colt, and a beauty to look at, Tammany, a consistent perlomier; Xuw ton, one of the Western cracks; Lamplighter, Georgia, Ves-tibule-and others aio eligible. Victory has not done any too wellot late. The Coney Island Jockey Club officers think that the starters will come lrom the following list: Ills Highness, Merry 3Iouarcli, Vorkile Belle, Victory, sir Matthew, Tammany, Bashfonl, Gturgta, lMgouct, Bracelet, Absconder, Lamp llghltr, 1'lckpocl.ct, Arnold, Hamilton, Nettie ft.

Boggs & Buhl, GREAT VISIONS SEEN In the Trance Beligious Enthusiasts Are Thrown Into. WOBK OP FEMALE EVANGELISTS. Converts Slain hy the Power That Influ ences Their Bodies. STUDIES OF A COLLEGE PROFESSOR. -PPI-CTAI, TELFGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Indianapolis, Aug. 24. The female evangelists, led by Mrs. Laughlin,who have been conducting religious services in Mt. Kbal Church, on the southern edge of Mon roe county, beginning in January last, are' still the center of a great religious excite ment in that community, and there is no diminution of the attendance. Dur ing hot weather services have been held under a canvas. The exercises usually open with reading of the Scripture, after which one of the leaders begins sing ing a familiar air, during which time the evangelists continue shaking one hand, holding it up and pointing toward the audience. Many speedily begin the same movement soon afterward by a shakint of the head and afterward of the entire body, and this continues for a time, and then the whole body straightens outright. The head falls back and the patient lapses into a so-called trance. This condition the eangelists at tribute to "the power." During its con tinuance the pulse of the individual is usually normal nnd respiration natural. No ill effects follow, but c ery one so stucken, when restored ton normal condi tion, professes to have seen strange visions, nnd to ha e undergone remarkable exper iences. Onejoung man boasts that he has been stricken 5i timet, and a young lady to have been seized '23 times. The evangelists claim it is necessary to come under this power before conversion can be had, and it affects old and young alike. There are few scornors in that com munity, it being impressed by the evangel ists that to renounce the strange religion will bring the swift vengeance of the Al mighty. 1'rof. Bryan, of the Chair of Moral Phil osophy of the State University, who spent several days stud ing tho methods of work nnd its effect upon the physical condition, nttnb utesit to a kind of hypnotism, assisted by a religious excitement! This naturally over comes those not of a high order of intelli gence, but it is only n question of time w itft a number of younger persons who have been ' slnin by tho vow er" until they w holly or in part lose their minds. Pro!. Brviin is understood as not nuestion- ing the sincerity of persons affected by this strange religion, but as questioning the sin cerity of some of the evangelists. Throughout the months during which the CMingelibts Imo conducted meet ings in the community, they have not taken up a collection and they subsist en tirely upon voluntary contributions. On Sundays thcio is always baptizing in Salt Creek, in which every new member is im mersed. Hundreds of people for miles around attend this Sunday gathering. The evangelists claim to bo acting entirely under God's direction, and sav that the meetings will be continued at Jit. Abal so long ns Ho may direct, nnd "when He calls us elsewhere we will move nlso to whatever place may be appointed." SOME INF0BMATI0N WANTED.
