Of course he more or less expected to secure a match -while there, but no chance of any kind presented itself to him. Peter has come home with a some what poor estimate of sports in the "old country," and he does not hesitate to say that there is little or no money there as far ns his knowledge goes. During a conversation with a friend Prid dy stated that everybody Becmed to be "broken," and that he could find nobody who had any money to speculate on foot racing. Almost every person he met, he claims, was poverty stricken. To say the least, this is iery, very strange, and it may be that Peter did not move among the right people. At the present time foot racing in England Is more popular than it has ever been and throturnout the country tolerably big handicaps are bcim; run off every woclt, to say nothing of the matclic-.

THE KINGSTON-VAN BUBEN MATCH Promises Good Sport for the 3Iany Chicago Turtles To-Day. Chicaoo, Aug. 30. To-morrow tho match between Kingston and Van Huron will bo run, and if no rain falls a good time may be expected. Van Buren's greatest races have been over a fast course, and there are many who believe thit the little son of Vanderbilt to be invinciblo with 95 pounds on his back. Klngbton has been working freely and is a much better horse than when last seen. Hamilton is nere to ride him, and be will probably go to the post at prohibitive odds. OHIO TENNI6 PLAYEE&.

It was decided that the principals should enter the rise at IS pounds. Bates now weighs 142 and asKed eight weeks to train down to the required weight. This Duan refused to concede aud the fight is off for the present. The feeling here is that ilhigan is not anxious to meet Bates in the ring, else he would have conceded him time to train down. An Amateur Regatta. !Mr. P. Denmarsh called at this office Satur lay and expressed his willingness to assist n promoting-an amateur regatta, to be held icre this fall.

To-dav the players of the local club will make Fred a handsomo presentation, probably a diamond stud. Eery, player will contribute toward the gift and it will show the good fellowship that exists between him and his late col leagues. Fred Carroll has been connected with the local team for many years and no matter what may have been the causes ot his severance therefrom many will regret his departure.

Harry Wright and His Team Arrive to Tackle Our Winning Flayers. Harrv Wright and his hustling team will bo at Exposition Park this afternoon to tackle the local sluggers. This "is tho last series this j ear for the veteran's team here and doubtless ho and his men will bo ex tremely anxious to get the better half of tho scries. It is quite true that the Phillies are after a higher position than fourth place, and Manager Wright has nlready figured it out how his team can land higher. But he may not have counted on tho great form now bolng displayed by Manager McGun niglo's team. If the latter can keep up their good form of last week it is not likely that the Phillies will this trip bo the Jonahs they have been in the past. At any rate it seems safe to sav that the contest will be a good one. On atnrdav King had a sore neek, but Manager McGunnigle oxpects that it will ho all light to-day and If it is King -will pitch and Miller will catch. Kcefe or Klingmay pitch for the Phillies.

Police raids on spcak-easies and gambling dens were not very plentiful yesterday, probably because of the wholesale onslaught of a week ago. A speak-easy kept by Pat Connors, in the rear of Ko. 22 Point alley, was raided by Captain Silvus and Lieuten ant Lewis yesterday morning. Only the proprietor was arrested. He was taken to the Central station. The raid attracted a large crowd from the tenements in the neighborhood, as tough a crowd, the police say, as tbey have seen in years. Early yesterday morning the house of John Johnson, Friendship avenue, Six teenth ward, was raided, ilr. Johnson, "Walter "Williams, Charles Boss, Alice White, Lillic Smith and JIary Richardson were arrested. At the .hearing Johnson was fined 550 and costs, the others ?5 and costs each. Last evening.the house of Mrs. Charlotte Drevore, Fifty-first and Butler streets, was raided. The proprietress and three men were arrested, all of whom were sent to the Seventeenth ward police station. At 'i o'clock yesterday Lieutenant Thorn ton and Officer Dixon raided the speak-easy kept by Charley Cooper, on Twelfth nlley, Allegheny. Cooper is a well-known charac ter and is called "Blind Charley." The others taken in the house were Constable William K. Iiobinson, of th'e Fourth ward, nnd William Crawford. When the officers completed this job they raided Frank' Stoup's place at Long alley and Chestnut street. The prpprictor with" Charlie Hart mcr, Tony Wagner and George Wrgner w ere arrested. A plentiful supply of liquor was found at both places. The Homestead police yesterday after noon raided a gambling den in full blast, and captured eight men. The place was operated by a professional gambler from Pittsburg. Several young men of promi nent families were among the captives. New lilack Jackets SIO to 830.

JIWE CHEAPOKIEY i"0LLY. Any Debasement' of the Currency Is "a. Most Delusive Bcniedy. COSTLY LESSOR 01? THE PAST. That $5,000,000 Bant Syndicate Not Such a Beneficial Thing. ITS OBJECT AKIN TO FBEE COINAGE fSPECIAL TELEOBAM 0 TOE DISPATCII.l New York, Aug. 80'. Matthew Marshall reviews the. financial and speculative situa tion for to-morrow's Sun as follows: How completely the btock gambling pub lic is dominated by sentiment, and how re motely its conduct is affected by the sober consideration of facts, is shown by the re cent rise in the sto?kjnarket and by the in crease 6f the volume of its transactions. Nothing has come to light which was not known a month ago, and nothing las hap pened during the interval to make any security intrinsically worth a fraction more than it was then, but the stampede has been started, and men are tumbling over one an other to buy things which, until it began, they would not look at. How long the movement "will lost and how higfi it will carry prices, I do "not pre tend to foretell. 'Probably it will continue for weeks, and perhaps for months, and buyers at present will, if thy have the nerve to let go in season, make a profit, but there is no certainty about the matter one way or the other., As. usual, too, when the 'current of speculatio j seta the way itis set ting now, it carries with it, sympathetically, any people who have no pecuniary interest in a-ding it, but who feel that theyoughtto aid it for the public good. THE yOPULAE MARKET. The vast majority of men are naturally bulls that is, their only idea of a success ful transaction is to sell a thing for more than they pay for it'. Hence a falling mar ket almost always kills business and a ris ing market stimulates it, and, as it seems to be for the common benefit that the. market should always rise, everything which tends to produce that result is popular, while all which works against it is unpopular. Even warnings ot a possible fall are received with disfavor, and those who utter them are sus pected of sinister, or, at least, interested motives. The main factor in the prevailing upward movement is, of course, our abundant crops and the assurance that we shall sell them at high prices in consequence of the failure of the crops in Europe. Added to this are minor elements, which in special cases tend to remove apprehension and to inspire con fidence in the future. The Union Pacifio Kailway Company, for example, has been saved from" the imminent danger of a receivership; ihe Sugar Trust is working harmoniously with its rivals: the Lead Trust has been successfully reorganized, and the open bankruptcy of many smaller concerns has been avoided by the generous, at the same time prudent, forbearance of their creditors. mraiAir natube's mood. Every impulse to a downward movement being thus removed'the natural desire of human nature to be active in (loin some thing finds opportunity for gratification only in the other alternative, with the result that wc see. An illustration of the way in which the minds even of superior men are affected by a popular craze is found in the proposed syndicate of National Banks to purchase S5,000,000 or more of the maturing Government i$ per cent bonds; extend them at 2 per cent and take out cir culating notes against them. The ostensible purpose of the scheme is to aid tho Government by lending it the principal of the bonds purchased, and to accommodate the public with the additional currency needed just at this moment to as sist in moving the crops to market, but I can see plainly enough that its managers arc, perhaps unconsciously, more influenced by a desire to avert a possible chill which might be thrown upon the growing enthu siasm of buyers, either by an unfavorable showing of the National Treasury or by a depletion of the bank reserve. JfO PSOPIl ET IT. As a matter of business in other respects the scheme will not be profitable to the bonks which engage in it. This is admitted on all sides. Nor will the assistance ren dered to the Government and the accommo dation furnished to the people amount to anything worth mentioning. The Secretary of the Treasury has publicly declared that he has ample means with which to pay off all the bonds that are likely to be presented for payment on September 2, and the addi tion of ?5,000,000 or thereabouts to our present stock of currency will be only a drop in the bucket compared with that al ready in existence, and with the ?54,000,000 annually which the net of July, 1890, is adding to it in monthly installments. "We have 5316,000,000 of old legal tenders; 400,000,000 of silver dollars; 60,000,000 of new bullion notes of July, 1890, which are increasing at the rate of ?4,500,000 per month; over 5170,000,000 of national bank notes, and an indefinite quantity of gold coin and gold bulliou, estimated by the Di rector of lie Mint at 700.000,000, and which cannot be less than 5300,000,000, be cause that amount is in sight in the Treas ury and in the vaults of the National and State banks. LIKE THE TRADITIONAL PLY. The banks which propose, to add 55,000, 000 to this vast mass may flatter themselves that they are going to do a great thing, but to me they seem like the fly on the cart wheel boasting oi the dust which he kicked up. It will be said, I know, that extraor dinary emergencies require" extraordinary measures, and that the addition ot 6,000,000 to the country's currency" just now, though a small amount in itself, will be of the greatest service in averting a threatened stringency of money and in facilitating' the operations of shippers of grain and cotton. In tho first place, an emergency which recurs regularly, year by year, cannot be called extraordinary, and if it is in the province of the National Banks to meet it at nil, they should do so with the ordinary resources at their disposal, and not by a new and special Issue of currency. In any event, the relief now proposed w'ill be only temporary. After the new 55,000,000 have once gone into circulation they will stay there, and next year there will be a call for another 5,000,000, or even more, to effect the same result over again. WORTHY OP PRAISE. Still, like buying stocks for a rise and for the same re.ison, every device which increases the volume of currency and thereby raises prices, or, at'least, prevents them from fall ing, is popular, while everything which has a contrary tendency is unpopular. Hence I am quite prepared. for the success of the 5,000,000 syndicate and for general praise of those who have gotten it up. They will be sustained, too, not only by those who wish to sec a continued rise in stocks, but by every one in the country who has property to sell pud debts to pay. In principle, though not in form, they will be in line with the advocates of the un limited or, as it is called, the free coinage of silver. The effect' of this measure, it is openly claimed, will be to enable debtors to get higher prices for what they own or what they produce than they get now and thug to pay debts with less real value than is now required of them. The proposed ad dition of 5,000,000 to the National Bank circulation is inspired by a similar idea, though I am far from intending to impute to its promoters a conscious dishonesty of purpose. Only, when it as once admitted that the issuing of high prices is a legiti mate object of Government action it is im possible to resist unlimited silver. . DELUSIVEiBEJIEDr. The debasement of the currency, either by diminishing the weight of coin or by di luting it with a flood of paper promises, has been repeatedly proved to be only adelusive remedy for financial stringency. It was tried in England by successive reductions of the weight of the pound sterling in the Mid dle Ages, and by .the suspension of specie payments during"" the Napoleonic wars. France went through the experience with John Law's paper money at the beginning of the lost century, and, again, with the issue, by the first Republic, of the nnsig nats, or notes secured by the pledge of Gov ernment bonds. "We had the lesson with our Continental money and with that of the State banks, soon after the close of the Revolutionary "War. In the face of all this, we issued other legal tenders to provide means for carrying on the war for the Union rather than raise money by taxation, and we saw them depreciate to 40 cents of their nomi nal value. A show of prosperity, indeed, accompanied the operations. Property rose immensely, in price, more money was paid for wages, rent and the products of the soil, and, for a while, everybody, except those who hod fixed incomes dependent upon old contracts, was happy in spite of the destruc tion caused by the war. THE REACTION COMES. Then came the crash of 1873 to prove that no augmentation of prices could, by Itself, prevent the evil consequences of im prudent investments, nor insure success to foolish schemes, and it was only with the resumption of specie payment in 1879 that business resumed a healthy course. In all these cases it was n deceptive promise of immediate relief at the risk of future ruin which carried away the com munity, and I presume it will continue to be so to the end of time. The generation which is taught by one hard experience passes away and a'new one succeeds it to be taught over again. Mark Twain relates that he did not believe that two locomo tives could not pass each other upon the same track until lie saw the experiment tried. Then he was satisfied that the thing was impossible. In this way, I suppose, this generation will have to go through with the experi ment of cheap money until, like its prede cessors, it has seen the folly of it; but I should think' that our bank presidents might dispense with this kind of instruction. CUT OUT A CODICIL. An Old Bachelor's Will Furnishing Sport for His Dear Friends. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Huntingdon, Pa., Aus. 30. Judge Eurst has just been given the papers and will soon render an opinion in an interesting will case. In February, 1883, David Stew art, a rich old bachelor, died, devising in his will all his real estate to David S. Cun ningham, who was made executor. After Stewart's death the will was founds in his private papers. On the first and second pages' was written the will, and on th'e third a later codicil. The body of the codicil, however, was found to be.neatly cut out. By the evidence of Samuel" Insett, who wrote the codicil, it was shown that by the codicil, James S. Dean, another nephew, received as a legacy a fine limestone farm worth from 8,000 to 510,000. The case was before the court on an appeal from the de cision of the Register, who refused to pro bate tho codicil at the request of James Dean.

SEVERAL REFUGEES TVEKE TO EE SHOT rSPECIAL TELEGRAU TO THE DISPATC11.J SAn Francisco, Aug. 30. A good story comes up by a Panama steamer, which shows the true inwardness of the attempt by President Ezeta, of Salvador, to seize five Salvadorean refugees on the Pacifio Mail steamer City of Panama in La Union, and to confiscate the vessel when this scheme failed. . The cable has brought an outline of the story, butit gave no details of the reasons for the attempted seizure, which was a precisely similar case to the Barrundia affair, except that in this ca?e Salvador was the aggressor and tried to capture exiles, whom President Ezeta hated. The leader among the five refugees on board the City of Panama was General Letona. He, with others, bought tickets at Corinto, Nicaragua, for San Jose del Guate mala. He knew the vessel touched at Sal vadorean ports, but after the Barrundia affair he never dreamed- Ezeta would try to' imitate that atrocity. Leiona' has spent five jrears' exile in Nicaragua. Ezeta's ani mosity against him is due to the fact that when Commander-in-Chief of the Salvado rean forces Letona ordered one hundred lashes laid on the back of Ezeta, then a private in the array, because he was de tected of theft. TLAN TO KILL LETONA. Ezeia, of course, never forgave this and would have shot Letona if he ha.d any ex cuse. He knew Letona's courage, and his scheme, it has since leaked out, was to de mand his surrender, and then when he showed fight, shoot him down as Barrundia was slaughtered. Hernandez, Ayala and ltivas, the other Salvadorean refugees, have all incurred the wrath of Ezeta, Avaly being the President legally elected, whom Ezeta forced out by intrigues, aad Kivas being the nephew of the General who last year headed the unsuccessful revolt against Ezeta.

"When the vessel reached La Union the commandante of the port came on board with several ofiicers, one of whom was than notorious desperado who assisted in poison ing Melendez. This man tried to pick a quarrel with young Bivas, but failed.. A NKKVV CAPTAIN. Soon after the commandante again ap peared with 13 heavily-armed soldiers in a launch. Captain "White permitted the com mandante onlv to board the vessel. Then the officer made a formal demand for the surrender of Letona. This the Captain re fused to do, although the commandante called his attention to the fact that he was ill Salvadorean waters. Then a threat was mode that the steamer would not receive clearance papers till Letona was surrendered, and Captain "White waited four hours- for papers and then left. At La Libertad the vessel was seized, on the ground that she had sailed without a proper clearance. Nothing was mentioned about the demand for refugees. ,"White cabled to the Pacific Mail Superintendent at Panama for instructions. Meanwhile the commandante came aboard and declared that he had Ezeta's order to take charge of the ship. PJIEPAEINO TO FIGHT. This aroused the Captain's anger and he ordered the commandante ashore, at the same time arming all his men and getting out his hot water hose ready to repel at tack. The cable from Panama was delayed 12 hours on shore. "When it was received, "White at once sailed. He heard Ezeta was on his way with a large body of troops to seize the steamer, so he didn't stop at Aca iutta, where a 6top is usually made, but kept five miles out. "With glasses it could be seen that a large body of men was at the wharf, and when the steamer passed by they boarded a train for the interior. They were probably Ezeta's force. Americans at San Jose de Guatemale were much pleased over Captain White's action, but the sentiment is unanimous that our Government should keep a good war vessel in these waters to guard against such outrages as this by Central American re publics. K0HBIST0WK HAS THE ITCH. The Disease Introduced in the Place by Italian Laborers. . Nobristown, Aug. 30. For a week or more past several of the physicians have had among their patients a number whose chief occupation was scratching. Some thing resembling army itch seemed to be prevalent, but since it has, assumed the form of an epidemic in some quarters it has been styled Italian itch. The disease is said to have been brought here by Italians, and along the line of the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company's Trenton branch it attacked more persons than in any other locality. Money, a frequent medium for the transmission ot disease, is blamed tor a great deal of the present condition of affairs; but whether it is entirely responsible or not for all of the scratching now indulged in is a mooted question. Dr. L. "W. Read is treating quite a number of well-known persons. He says the disease is parasitical and. that it will continue to annoy the victim nntil the para site is killed. The disease is also spoken of as "scabies," an inflamation of the skin, prrduced by the irritation of the acarns scabie and the scratching of the sufferer. Scabie is contagious, inasmuch as the para site is transmitted from one person to an other. KH0CXING OUT GAMBLING. Prominent McKeesport People Arrested by the Police and Fined Yesterday.

A romantic affair occurred in Providence on Thurs day night. Miss Annie Barrett is 'a resi dent of that town. She is a member of St. John's congregation, is pretty and had many admirers. John Cadden, a well-known young business man of the town, seemeu to have the in side track. He had a dangerous rival, how ever, in the person 'of John Leary, of Kingston. The town of Kingston is some 20 miles distant from Providence. This gave Cadden the advantage, as he con1d see Miss Barrett oftener than his rival. Leary paid two visits a week to Providence. About two weeks ago the friends of Miss Barrett received notice t that she would be married on Thursday evening at the church. Everybody understood that young Leary was to be the lucky man. Leary and his best man arrived in Provi dence on Thursday at noon. They went to the hotel and made preparations for the wedding. Many of the would-be groom's friends called and congratulated him. At 6 o'clock Leary and his best man called at Miss Barrett's home. To his sur prise and indignation he found his rival Cadden there dressed in a wedding suit and waiting for the bride, who was in another room. Leary demanded an explanation. All Miss Barrett would say was that she had de cided to marry Cadden. Leary declined to leave the house. The wedding party went out ahead of him and took carnages, when the indignation of the disappointed lover knew no bounds. He made all kinds of threats. "When the bridal couple entered the church everybody was surprised. In stead of Leary, Cadden was the groom. The affair has created a great deal of talk. Miss Barrett now sayshe never said she would marry Leary; but she might have told him as a joke to be on hand the day of the wed ding. Leary says it was no joke, that-all arrangements had been made for the mar riage, hegave the lady valuable presents, ana he himself was put to considerable ex pense in getting his wedding outfit ready. ONLY HALF MARRIED. The Treacher Suddenly Throws Up the Job and a 'Squire Finishes It. Chattanooga, Aug. 30. A certificate of marriage was returned to the Court House for the nuptials of Captain A. G. Benaud and Miss Claudia Boyles, signed by 'Squire Jesse A. Holtzclaw, so a reporter discovered this morning, and is causing a sensation. They were twice married. On Wednesday riight Bev. TJ. J. "Willingham performed the ceremony, pronouncing them man and wife in the presence of assembled witnesses. But the preacher refused to sign the marriage certificate. This left the couple in a pretty plight. So yesterday morning 'Squire Holtzclaw was sent for, and married them the second time and signed the certifi cate. It is understood that Key. Mr. "Will ingham learned "Wednesday night, after he had performed the ceremony, that Captain Benaud had been divorced from his first wife for causes other than the only one permitted under the scriptural injunc tion. Like many other ministers of the fospel, Eey. M. "Willingham does not be ieve that divorced people can rightfully remarry until the divorce was granted, for the reason assigned in the Bible. "When he learned the existing state of affairs he felt that it would not be proper.for him to sign the certificate. So he refused to do it. THE BAILBOAD GIVES IN. The Lake Erie and Western Submits a Schedule Advancing Wages. iNDiANAroLls, Aug. 30. The Lake Erie nnd "Western management promulgated its new wage schedule this afternoon. It gives the local freight conductors 40 cents additional per trip in districts of three crews, and where two crews run in a dis trict the conductors are to receive an ad vance of 23 cents over the old schedule. The brakemen in those classes receive 15 nnd 10 cents advance. On work or wreck trains the conductors and brakemen are granted an advance of 10 cents a trip. No advances are made to through freight men. Overtime beyond 12 hours and 16 hours in the two classes is paid to conductors at the rate of 30 cents per hour and brakemen 20 cents. The same overtime is allowed to trainmen on through freights where there is an excess of time necessary to complete the run at 10 miles an hour. At the same rate on work or wreck trains, overtime above 12 hours will be allowed.. It is expected that this schedule will be satisfactory, as the overtime allowed is based upon the schedules now in vogue on other roads, and overtime is what the strikers demanded. GIBLS IN A HOKNEIS' NEST. Their Feet and Legs Badly Stang by the Saucy Insects. Beading, Aug. 29. Five young ladies of Beading suffered a painful experience with hornets at the Sanatoga campmeeting this week and some jof them barely escaped with their lives.

A swarm of enormous insects attacked the girls and severely stung them on the feet and lower limbs. Some ot them fainted from fright and pain, and none were able to put on their shoes to walk back to camp. A searching party late in the evening found the. young women still at the brookside, disabled. NEGOTIATIONS STILL ON Between This Country and Venezuela in Reference to Reciprocity. "Washington, Aug. 30. It is stated on good authority that the reported rejection by the Government of Venezuela of the reciprocity treaty with the United States was incorrect. The treaty was not rejected, but the Government of Venezuela sent it back and asked that certain modifications be made, for the reason that the concessions contemplated would decrease, the national revenues at least 30 per cent. This is more than the Government can afford. The Venezuelan Government is willing to concede about one-half the reduc tion asked, and the negotiations will be renewed.
