Just at this stage of the year's argument there are no flies on the Pittsburg aggre gation, and not one of the 1,330 people who were at Exposition Park yesterday were more convinced of the fact than Jlessrs. Day and Mutrie. Mr. Day, who is here with his players this trip, said after the game "It's strange these Pittsburgers don't play this kind of a game against Chicago. If the Pittsburgers would only servo nil of ue alike we wouldn't grumble." J'.ut rittsburg's team have always been proverbial for knocking the penn.intnspira tion of other people into the shape of a three-cocked hat. It eeuiap if their inten tion is to keep up their record this year, be cause thy are beyond all doubt playing an extraordinary game. TtlDX'T ENTHUSE MUCH. Yestcrdjy's contest for more than half of it wns a -oinewliat tame affair. It was ap parent that the Giants wero not imparting that amount or ginger into their work that has formerly characterized them. They did not by anv meant dUpluy that buoyancy and confluence that used to bo seen in tho "great" Giant-. The truth i that yesterday they pave indications that th -y knew they were going to be defeated. The great ob stacle in their way was that silver-haired young man, King. He did the pitching for the home players and the visitors could no more find 111-" measure than 11 monkey can t-lng "Annie lioone." That was the leature that mauugcr Mutrie complained of. He said: "The boy will'linvo to do some more liittlng if c are to w in.'" I!ob llarr was in the box for the visitors, and while he did not pitch a brilliant game lie did not pitch a very bad one. Lots of hits were made off his pitching, but many of them were bunts and were intended lor sac rifice hits. Birr showed gieat nerve at stages and rmrticulai ly in the eighth Inning, when he had three men on buses almost dur ing the entire inning. Hut he pitched in a way that gave one the idea that he must not lace the I'ittburgcrs too oltcn. He wus well supported. SOME BRILLIANT 'WORK. Of the local players Lally and Miller played in first-class style. Both men niado catches of the most brilliant kind and Ward also made a very good Impression. Lally liad on his batting clothes and was cheered. Of course Kcilly wastherecipientof another procnt. and this time ho was presented with a little bat. The home team began run-getting In the first inning. Bierbauer led oil with a lively 6ingle to center held and Shugart's foul fly, which was caught by Buckle. . allowed Bier bauer to reach second. Miller followed with another fine single to center and Bierbaucr scored. ISeckley's sacrifice sent -Miller to second and Lally's single sent Miller to thiid. Ward made a single to right ind Mil ler -cored, Lally going to third. Ward made nn eflort to steal second, and while ho was doing so Lally attempted to score, but was thrown out at the plate by Richardbon. In the sixth inning, nftor Miller was out, Beckley made a single and scored on Lally's three-bagger to let field. THEY SCORED A RUN. In the second 1ij.1I Tiernan led off with a slnglo lo; nilddlo and O'Rourke followed with a liner to right. Lally tried to catch the ball, but failed and the ball bounded away. This allowed Tiernan to reach third nnd I-all made a wild thion-, which enabled Tiernan to score and O'Rourke to reach third. In the eighth inning Shinrart led off and there were nine men at bat. Shugartmade n single. Miller got his base on ba lis, Beck ley reached lirt on it bad throw by Barr, which scored Shugart. Lally was hit by a pitched ball, filling tho bases, and Ward's, little i-inglc scored Miller, lleilly struck out and Corkhill's single scored Beckley and Lally. The score: MTTSHLHG.

Campbell and Huntington out played their opponents in superior team work in the first set, placing many balls be tween their opponents. Hobarc made many long drives, which seemed to bother Camp bell and Huntington. In net play thelatter team had the advantage of Hobart and Hall, who lobbed considerably, but with little ef fect. 'Campbell and Huntington took the first set, G-3. Hobart and Hall played better in the sec ond set nfterthe score was t lagalnst them, nuntlngton plaved rather poorly for his side, and Hall did not help his partner very .much. Hobart made some beautiful drives as in the previous set, nearly an 01 wnicu Cnuipbell and Huntington fonnd difficulty In placing well, while his serving scored him several aces. Campbell and Huntington won tho set, 64. The third set was uninteresting nnd pro longed to 14 games. Campbell played well at times, making some very pretty dilvcs and places, while Huntington returned many backhand drives cross court. Hall lobbed well, but not always accurately, but Hobart seemed unable to play his Lawfords w ith much advantage. Campbell nnd Hunting ton took this set, 80, giving them the match and the cbampionsbip in doubles. Slay Be Exciting. rSPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. McKEEsronr, Aug., 27.

How They Slake Life a Burden to Knral Besidents Disorderly Conduct Not an Offense Outside tho City Limits at Present. "To him who in the love of Nature holds communion with her visible forms" it seems strange that our law-givers have not thought worth while long ago to provide punish ment for disorderly conduct in the rural districts. If a man or woman, or a party of them tank up in a city or bordugh and whoop nnd halloo on any day and disturb the peace of law-abiding people therein resident punishment is provided. ' But in tho rural districts, thongh'thore are no policemen stationed to prevent dis order, people may bo annoyed to the verge of distraction and there is no remedy and the conseqiieuco is that many sylvan re treats near the city are almost uninhabited on summer Sundays by decent people. Tho last Legislature made disorderly conduct in townships puulshablo by law so far as it could do so, and people still think that such isthe case, but the Governor vetoed tho bill. A few weeks since an outlaw in Robinson township made night hideous by prancing around tho houses of two families against whom ho had a fancied (possibly a leal) grievance, nis langnage was foul, and he howled like a panther. One of tho aggrieved parties visited the of fice of an Alderman in the city and proposed that some kind of discipline be exercised on the ruffian, but the Alderman asked: "Can you conscientiously swear that you are afraid of the man? If you can you can have him arrested and put under bond or sent to jail to keep the peace." Tho complainant replied that he could not swear that he was afraid of the man. but that his conduct was a great annoyance. He was forced to go home without a remedy, and on several dc caslons since it has required the exercise of all his nhilosouhv to prevent his causing a breach of the peace, for the miscreant is at times as offensive as he was on the night in question Xo rational person will object to the over laden sons and daughters of toil, resident w ithln the city, hiring an express wagon and taking recre.itlon in the wooded resorts about the city, but when they make a part of the cargo several bottles of riflo whisky and kegs of beer and howl as they did last Sundav on the road between the Stcnbcn ville p'ike nnd Forest Grove, it "Jars like a discord on some mournful tune," not only on the ears of the strict Sabbatarians o'f that locality, but also on tho ears of tho less orthodox.but nevertheless peace-loving por tion of the community, who stand for liberty, but not for license. Though this district is eight miles from the city such outbreaks aro the rule on Sun day during tho summer season. The situa tion of rural dwellers near tho end of n rapid transit street car lino can be but faint lv imagined by the heads of households never subject to such nnnopince. As the last Legislature did not make disorderly conduct punishable in townships on ac count of a defect in the bill care should be taken to see that the next ono does. At pres ent about the only thing coming under tho head of disorderly conduct outside of cities is the disturbance of a religious meet ing and tho environment of the framors of the law must have been radically different from that of sufferers of the present day. as it would bo a spiritless religious gathering that could not make headway against a gang of toughs, but nn isolated rural dweller is pow erless to interfore.-for should he use his shotgun nnd dogs on tho miscreants he Is al most certain to get the worst of the frav. The disgust with which "Annie Rooney" was received on Sunday in the vicinity of the Kansas school liouo seems to indicate that even the ruial population regard the melody as somewhat frayed around the edges. It is said the reason assigned by the Gov ernor for his veto was that the law should have been framed for the whole State, and not for townships alone. Doubtless he was constitutionally right, but the necessity for the law is urgent, nevertheless. Some law yers say that there is a way to punish dis orderlj' people in tho absence of a special enactment, but tho magistrates do not seem to think so, or some of them at least. INDIANA GLASS MAKEES.

Dallas, the Pittsburg Pacer, Beaten on the Independence Track by Guy Wilkes. GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAT rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Hartford, Aug. 27. Ed Geers, the clever Tennessee reinsman, piloted three horses to the front at Charter Oak Park this afternoon, his greatest success being in the 510,000 stake, when he won the ninth and deciding heat with Niglitingale, a 6-ycar- old mare from Village Farm. The race was in a peculiar condition last evening after eight heats, Hiss Alice being distanced after getting the first and Abbie V ruled out on account of the dead heat between Nightingale and Little Albert. The Cali fornian pulled up lame yesterday and was done for, so that Nightingale had matters her own way. The oldest horseman, includ ing Harris Holcomb, who has been for many years on tho turf, say it was the greatest race ever trotted. Tho Buffalo mare's gameness and the skillful driving of Geers landed the big prize for the Hamlin stable, making .the second tlmo ono of Mambrino King's get has won it. The eighth heat in 2:21 is tho fastest at that stage on record. LITTLE ALBERT'S BREAKDOWN Is in both forelegs, tho suspensory liga ments giving away, so that it is doubtful if he can start again this season. SUMMARY.

SUIT FOE A MILLION. That Is the Araonnt of Damages Wanted of Senator Stewart. A MINE OWNER- CHARGES FBAUD Against the Senator in a Big Mining Trans action of Tears Ago. THE FAMOUS EMMA MINE BROUGHT IN SPECIAL TELEORAM TO THE DISPATCH.l New York, Aug. 27. .Tames E. Lyon has brought an action in the Supreme Court aeainst Senator "William 31. Stewart, of Nevada, claiming 51,000,000 damages, al leged to have been sustained in the famous Emma Mine complications. He charges Senator Stewart with conspiracy, while act ing as his counsel, to defraud him of his mining rights. Among the other alleged conspirators is Trenor "W. Park, of Ver mont. The suit recalls the inquiry insti tuted by the House of Representatives in 187G to ascertain the relations of Itobert C. Schenck, Jlinister to the Court of St. James, to the Emma Silver Mining Com pany, the stock of which was unloaded chiefly in London for 50,500,000. Mr. Lyon alleges in his complaint that in 1870 he owned Ihe Monitor and St. Louis lode silver mines in Little Cottonwood Canon in Utah. Certain persons who claimed to own the Emma Mine encroached on his property and dug into his lodes. Their alleged mining rights overlapped his. The Emma Mine was then owned by the Emma Mining Company, of New York, half of the stock of which was held by Trenor V. Parker and II. Henry Baxter. THE SUIT OF 1870. Action was begun by Lyon to oust the company from this mining property and to secure damages for the ore it had taken. The action was referred to Penjamiu li; Curtis, of Boston. Stewart acted as Lyon's counsel in the suit. Overtures were made, by which it was arranged that Lyon was to dispose of his rights to the Emma Mining Company for ?o00,000. Park and Stewart had conducted the negotiations. Lyon alleges that Stewart represented that the suit would lag on for a long time, as Referee Curtis was then engaged on the Alabama claims at Geneva. Stewart ad vised Lyon to sell his property and with draw a protest he had entered when the Emma Mining Company applied for a min ing grant from the United States Govern ment. Lyon says that he subsequently as certained that Curtis was not engaged on the Alabama claims. Several efforts were made without avnil by Lyon to get the half uiunon, anil ne iicsitnteu aoont signing tno airreeinent. Lyon says that on August 18, 1871. Stewart snrned an agreement to con'ev Lyon's interests to Grunt & Co., who were to dispose of stock in n now company to be formed in London. Lyon claims that Stew art entered into this agreement for his own gain. RELYIXG OX PROMISES. On further representations of returns from the London company, Lyon declares ho agreed not to press his demand for the $"00,000 on a promise of much more after tho sale of the stock in London. He paid Stew art's expenses in London to conduct nego tiations, and on subsequently going over himself found Stewart and Park occupying adjoinine npartments in a hotel in Hanover Sqnaio, London. Lyon was informed that the Emma Silver Mining' Company had been incorporated nnd capitalized at jELOOOOOJ, to work the Emma mine and the Monitor and St. Louis lode. He claims, however, that they in formed him thnt tne expense of putting the stock on the market was so great that ho would not receive moro than $25,000 for his interests. The stock of the Xew- York Com pany was to bo bought for$l,000,000. Tho ex penses, according to their figures, were X211.3C0, of which jEIOO 0C0 wore to be paid to Grant & Co., nnd 10,000 to Prof. Benjamin Sllliman, of Ynle Colleie, for his export services. Lyon says these expenses wero over-estimated. ' SETTLED FOR 5200,000. On the strength of their representations ho ngrecd to sell his rights to Park for $200, 0CO. He received this sum and gave Stewart and Hillyor, Stewart's partner, for their services as his counsel, $50,000. Ho says that he has since learned that on tho dato of tho agreement mentioned, August 18, 1871, Stew art, although then his counsel, had entered into an agreement with Park adverse to his (Lyon's) interests. Ho says that Park and the English company made two pay ments, amounting 10 $iz.,tiuj, to .urs. Stewart. To this Mr. Stewart replies that no pay ments were made to his wile, except under his own direction and in his own account. Lyon says that Stewart realized about$2,000, 000 ouc of the transactions and that the stook of tho English company w as sold for $0300, 000. rac answer or STEWART. In his nnswer, senator Stewart says that tho claim to the mine property mado by Lyon wns looked upon in the courts ns "pure blackmail." Ho declares that after Lyon received $200,000 for his rights he used his money and influence to depress the stock of the company in the English market and that when the stock recovered and rose in valuo all tho money ,Lv on had was lpst. Lyon then came to Stewart and Park and made some of the allegations mado in the piescnt suit about a conspiracy and threat ened to bring a suit against them in tho English courts. Stewart said frankly to him: "This is nothing more than blackmail. What is vour ? rice?" He alleges that Lyon said $50,000. his was tho sum paid by Mr. Park and him self, through another person, and thereupon Lyon signed a release of all claims against them. Lyon then sailed for this country. This releaso is sot up by Stewart in bar of tho present suit. COLORED MEN RULED OUT. Pennsylvania Sons orAmericallcaten There but Elect tho I Ulcers.

Tho question of admitting colored men wns ngain indirectly taken up under the guise of a resolution offered by the Pennsylvania dolcgates that a two-thirds voto shall be necessary to amend tho constitution. Tho Westorn delegates, who have opposed al most to a mun the admittance ot colored members into the ordor, were taken bv sur prise, but they feltlittle alarm that It would be successful.

Eastman Times-Journal. It is currently reported that of a late a white bear, without his muzzle or keeper, has been roaming at large in the woods of Laurens county in the vicinity of Arthur, and that parties who, by accidont or neglect had to travel at night, could easily trans form white stumps, limbs of fallen trees nnd sheep Into genuine grizzlies, standing bolt upright in the attitude of advancing with arms extended toward the unlucky traveler. It is said further that ono or the good citizens or that neighborhood, having a largo pet ram sheep which had become mischievous and unruly, hauled him away off in tho woods, and left him In a new range in the hope of reforming him of his naughty practice of batting everybody whom he mot, regardless of age, sex or nrcvioas condition. A prominent young man of tho settlement had been visit ing his choice among the fair sex, and had lingered there until after night, when he set out on his homeward journey. Ho had not proceeded far, when lo! he saw something white and tall lift its form up right within a few feet of him. His liatr stood on end, and ho felt very liko the nasal singing mnster did when ho encountered tho Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, near Major Andro's tree. What must be done? There was no doubt in his mind that he was in close qunrters with the much dreaded bruin; so, whipping out a pocket piece of artillory, with which he had prepared him self to meet just such an emergency, he fired with good aim at tho bulkiest part of the snowy looking figure. On tho shot be ing fired tho apparition, resuminga position on nil four, walked away, while the fusileer adopted a more hasty method of travel in a different direction. Returning next dnyto the enchanted spot in company with some companions, our hero found the dead body or his neighbor's pet ram a few paces away from theseene of the night's encounter. So the poor pet paid dearly for offering to play pranks away from home upon a stranger. WATEE I2T EMPTY B01XEBS. A Test That Supports an Old Theory as to the Cause of Explosions. New York Sun.l A short time ago a boiler was constructed in Manchester, Eng., with a view of testing the practice advised by some in case of shortness of water being discovered, of turning on the feed water a somewhat startling method of procedure according to some. In these tests the furnaces were bared of water by opening the blowoff cock and allowing the water to escape while good bright fires were burning, which could not fail to overheat the the plates. "When sufficiently heated to melt disks of lead, tin, and zinc, the feed was suddenly turned on through special pipes, which in jected the water directly on to the heated plates, but in no case, as is often assumed, was this followed by a sudden generation of steam at an excessive pressure but in one case actually a reduction of pressure took place. The one mishap which took place proved, it seems, to have been due to the feed not having been turned on soon enough. Again, the hogging up. ward of the flue tubes, which was accurately ascertained by means of rods, was in some cases found to be as much as one-half inch. The inadvisability of hurrying fires when raising steam was demonstrated as beyond question. An English Judge recently sentenced a woman to flvo minutes' Imprisonment for bigamy.
