Bcsnlti on tit Sheepsaeaa Bay Tract General Sport
ing Kews oi the Day.
There is certainly a Jonah dogging the
track of the Brooklyn team. Their presence
here this reason has, almost on all occasion!
been the signal for Tery bad weather, and
yesterday was no exception. As soon as
John "Ward and his men arrived in the city
rain clouds began to gather, and before the
team reached the grounds a good sized
thunder storm was holding sway. As a rc
. suit, when the game Btarted only about 250
people were in the grounds, as it was gen
erally understood there would be no game.
The rain ceased about 4 o'clock, and with
sponges and sawdust, the grounds were got
ten into something like a recognizable con
dition. But they were wretched. The
contest stnrtcd at 4:20 and was stopped at
the end of the first half of the fourth inning,
with the score standing 0 to 4 against the
home plavers.
What the result would hare been had
nine innings been played nobodr cai say,
as both pitchers were being lift hard and
both teams were fielding badly owing to
bad grounds. Singlesiy Shugart and Beck
ley and a fumble by Ely enabled Shugart to
score. The visitors in their half made four
runs. Collins got his base on balls. Pinck
ney made a safe bunt and Foutv's sacrifice
sent the runner to second and third. They
bhth scored Oil a single bv Burns. A short
fly by Ely was caught bv Bierbauer, and
the latter threw the ball to Becklcy, but
Jake dropped it or Burns would have been
doubled out. After thatmistako Griffin made
a double and so did O'Brien, and altogether
four runs were scored, only one being
earned.
In the second Inning Rellly was hit by a
pitched ball, hut was forced out at second
by Corklilll. Baldwin struck out and rsier
bauer got to first on a fumble by O'Brien.
Shugart got his base on balls and Miller's
long fly was muffed by Cellins, Corkhill and
Bicrbnner scoring on the error and Shugart
reaching third. Beckley's single scored
Shugart, making three unearned runs.
In the third inning with Brown ont Ely
got his base on balls, second on wild pitch,
third on Grlilln's sacrifice and home on
O'Brien's single.
Tbo home team had four hits nnd three-errors
and the visitors six hits and three er
rors. The batteries ere: Baldwin and Mil
ler: Lovett and Dailcy. Baldwin had one
strike out and Lovett none.

He Is Quietly Playing the Granger
Movement for Speaker,
WHILE HOLDING TO DEMOCRACY.
Crisp and Hills May Tet Find a Formidable
Competitor in Himv
A SOUTHERN TOUR FOR ALLIANCE TOTES
trnOM A STAFF COmtESKKTDElrr.
"Washingtox, Sept 3. If anybody
counts Farmer Hatch, of Missouri, out of
the race., for the Speakership, that some
body is making a great mistake. Amid all
the talk, of the "sure thing for Crisp," and
the sleek combinations being made by Hills
with New York for the chief clerkship,
some other State for Doorkeeper, and so on
through the leading positions in the House,
Farmer Hatch proceeds to play a card that
may prove to be stronger than all.
while not uniting with the Alliance, and
still entertaining good Democratic prin
ciples, Mr. Hatch is playing the farmer
movement for all it is worth, and there are
good prospects -that he will be able to'hold'
the balance of power and finally compel his
own election.- He is popular with every
person who has been in Congress with him,
regardless of party, and many a Democrat
'would rather vpte for him 'on personal
grounds than for any of -the other candi-
dates. He will have the vote of Missouri,
part of Kansas, and scattering votes from
sound Democrats everywhere.
He will have all o"f the Alliance mem
bers, unless it is concluded best to bring out
a genuine Alliance candidate, which is not
probable, .In such a case he will alsohnvk
all tho .Democratic members elected by com
bination with the Alliance, and all amen
able to its influence, nnd that is not a few.
Mr. Hatch has Just passed through this
city on his way to. speak to the farmers of
West Virginia in several places, and after
that will go through other Southern States,
captnrlng the "Allianoe fellers" wherever
he goes. Without doubt Mr. Hateh would
make tbo best all-round Speaker to be found
among tho Democratic timber. He is as
calm and judicial as Crisp, and is a much
bettor parliamentarian than any of the
other candidates. Both Speaker Carlisle
and Speaker Kecd called him to the chair
frequently, qnd dnrinn; the most refractory
and rebellious moods of the House, his calm
and dignified demeanor and unfailing fair
ness always begot him the respect of mem
bers, while Mills, McMillan and Springer
were invariably gu ved.
Moreover, Mr. Hatch Is a real farmer,
though he practices law, and his intercourse
with his acquaintances has the air of a com
fortable, educated farmer, confident of him
self, and placing sense and knowledge above
fine clothe and society -etiquette, though
always thoroughly at ease in any circle.

Lacy Horton, Who Once Tried to Shoot
Senator Morgan's Son, Insane.
WASHlitaTOir, Sept. 3 SpecfaJ. About
four years ago a great sensation was created

gan, barely missing bis head. The matter
was hushed up and no names were pub
lished. A j ury under a writ do lunatico inqnirendo
was Bworn to-dav In the Criminal Court
room by Deputy Marshal Leonard in tho
case of Miss Horton. She has exhibited some
I symptoms of Insanity.and on August 2S,at the
instance, ot iiiaomcers or tne aepartment,
she was taken into custody by Detective
Mattingly.and has since been in-charge of
one of tho police matrons. The jury found
that she was insane, and she was sent to the
asylum this evening.

partment to-day. He lias Jnst come from,
Kew Orleans, where he has completed the
work in some 25 'cases against the President
of the Louisiana ."Lottery Company. Mr.
Maynard says that the chain of evidence In
these cases is complete, and that the lottery
company will hardly dispute the facts.
Mr. Maynard considers that these cases
will have an important bearing upon the
future of the company. He thinks that the
power of the company is broken, and says
that tho business is reduced to such a point
that nltnough they advertise a capital prize
of $300,000 yet they do not now sell more
that the half of an v ticket, so that It is im-
Sossibie for the full capital prize to be

A Reported Attempt to Pinch tho Street
' Railway Companies. .
A telegram from Harrisburg yesterday
stated that discussion regarding the illegal
ity of the leasing and buying of 'street rail
ways by traction and motor companies is
being revived. Such deals aro a direct vio
lation of an old statute on the subject. Tho
telegram states that someone discovered
the existence of tho law about a year
ago, and a bill was introduced, into
the Legislature annulllnc the laws on tho
subject of street railway leasing and consol
idation nnd making valid all previous opera
tions of tho kind. The bill passed both
Houses, but was vetoed by Governor .Pattl
son. It is further stated that the annual reports
now beintr filed with tho Seoretarv of Inter
nal Aflairs sliow that this law has been con- J
stuntiy viuiaieu, huiuc i,ut? uiii leguuzing
such operations was vetoed, and that there
is a probability of litigation being opened up.
The local street railway officials do not at
tach much importance to the matter, saying
that a way had always been found and nt
ways would be whereby roads could be
Merged, leased, bought and sold, and that
no test case had ever been decided against
them.
Secretary Keeper, of the Pittsburg, Alle
gheny and Manchester Traction Company,
said yesterday he did not think the matter
would be revived, as it had already received'
a quietus at thehandsof Judge Swing when
,the minority stockholders of the Tittsburg,
'Allegheny and Manchester Passenger
Railway Company bad filed a bill in equity
to restrain the Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Manchester Traction Company from leasing
the lines of the Union Line Passenger Kail
way. Tho court dismissed the bill after
bearing the arguments.
Commodore W. J. Kountz, who for 18
years has guided the destinies of the Man
chester line, was shown tho Harrisburg tcle
f;ram last night andfsaidthat he did not be
love tho old ground would be gone over
again. He didn't think there was much in it.

HISTORIC PEECEDENTS FOLLOWED.
Balmaeeda Is Said to Be Haling Bis Way
Toward-San Francisco.
MIKISTEE IGAN EECE1YES .AN INSULT
"Washington; Sept. , 3. Admiral
Brown's cable dispatch, to the Navy De
partment, received this morning, announc
ing the complete success of -the Junta, was
communicated immediately to Mr. "Whar
ton, the Acting Secretary of State. "While
Admiral Brown is not a diplomatic repre
sentative of the Government, his statement
or facts is taken as an addition to the offi
cial information before the Department of
State,' to the effect that Balmaceda's Gov
ernment is a thing of the past and that a
new'regime has been established.
The requirements of diplomatic practice
have been so far met that it is probable that
the Department of State1 will now.proceed
to take official cognizance -of the state of
affairs in Chile as modified by Balmaceda's
resignation and the victory of the Congres
sional party. At the department it is said
that there had been no undue delay in ac
cording recognition when proper to bestow it.
FOLLOWING A SETTLED 'POLICY.
The settled policy of this 'Government
has been to avoid the', encouragement or
premature recognition of revolutionary
movements, particularly in the case of the
unsettled republics of the American hem
isphere; and in the exceptional coses in
Which departures have been made from that
practice the result has not always been sat
isfactory. So in the case of tbo Chilean
Congressional movement the Depart
ment of State has confined itself,
tho officials eay, to a strict observance of the
practice of this Government as fixed by
many precedents, nnd has awaited the re
ceipt of the official information necpssary to
enable It to know beyond doubt that the
Congrcssionalists have succeeded in secur
ing absolute domain over Chile. The requi
site information is now probably befoie the
department, andtbe nextstep is recognition.
Several cable dispatches baye been sent to
Minister Egan, and there is reason to be
lieve that when he is satisfied that a
Government (even thpugh it be temporary
in form) has been securely established in
Chile, lie will Immediately .open official
intercourse with that Government. This
step, It is said at the Department, Is equiva
lent to accrediting n Minister to the now
Government, and as soon as such new Gov
ernment officially notifies the Department
of State that it has authorized its special
envoys to represent it regularly In the
United States, Dr. Montt and his colleagues
will be recognized at the Department of
State.
SETTING TIP A GOVERNMENT.
The Chilean Congressional envoys in.this
city have received information which shows
that the two members of the Junta who left
Iqulqne Sunday have arrived at Valparaiso.
These two members are AValdo Silva, the
Vice President of tho Senate, and Bamon
Baros Luco,tbe Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. Scnor Montt, the .Commander
in Chief of the Xavv, the other member of
the Junta, was already at Valparaiso. These
three gentlemen will .now go to Santiago,
where they will take steps for the reorgani
zation of the Government-in accordance
with the changed condition of affairs.
Sonor Montt, tho principal Congressional
envoy here, has received a dispatch, dated
Valpariaso, September's, and signed by
Messrs. Silva and LucoIn whioh thov say
tuat General uaqueaano (to wnom presi
dent Balmaeeda surrendered -tho Govern
ment when he left Santiago) had given up
tho command. The re-establlshment of the
Constitution and the laws has been cele
brated with indescribable enthusiasm.

"President Balmaeeda is aboard the Con
doll and expects to disembark in San Fran
cisco. However, if he bo pushed by the in
surgent warship, he may land in Mexico.
If ho does, extend all possible courtesies."
A letter from an offlceron an English war
ship at Valparaiso asserts that Balmaeeda
Insulted and quarreled with the American
Minister, Patrick Egan, and the French
Minister; that .the latter xefused to .accept
an apology, but that Minister Egan renewed
his relations with the Government under
threats from Senor Godoy- that if Mr..Egau
gave Balmaeeda trouble they would1 send
him aboard an English warship.

from Valparaiso: The torpedo Almirante
Condell and the armed transport Imper-
jale, the last armed forces loyal
to the late President Balmaeeda were for
mally surrendered to the Chilean Minister
here to-day, and word was immediately sent
to the Junta de Gobierno, at Santiago,
that the two vessels were at their disposal.
The transfer was made to-day, and the min
ister cabled to tho Junta for instructions as
to what should be done with the vessels. '
A dispatch from Valparaiso says: The
report that the late President Balmaeeda
had been killed by one of the men who are
crossing 'the mountains with him ap
pears to be unfounded and no such
report has been heard here, and
nothing is known of the fugitive ex
Presiden't movements since he left Los
Andes. Tho probabilities are very strong
against the story being true, for If Balmae
eda bad been killed It is long odds that the
members of the Junta would have beard of
It. - 1

Camping Under Difficulties.
CAMP M050U0AHEDA,'GTPSET Grove, Hab
nrsox C0C3TY, W. Va Sept. 3. SpectaL
Tho entiro National Guard of this State,
comprising .15 companies, are now present
for duty at their annual encampment here.
As a result of the lax discipline last night
there 'was a great deal of merrymaking
among the men, which reached such pro
portions 'that an armed guard was sent
among them, enforcing some kind of order.
This morning, however, the screws were
put on with the firing of the 5 o'clockgun
and revllle call. This being tho first regular
complete camp of the entire Guard of tho
State, and officers and men being alike in
experienced in camping rules, there has
been a great deal of blundering. There was
a woeful lack of provisions. Two companies
last night raised a doleful howl, as they got
no supper'at all, and their breakfast to-day
was delayed until 10 o'clock this morning.
These matters are being regulated now,
however. Tho line of guard mount was
rather rocky, but, as most of the men had
not slept for 4S.honrs, nor eaten for 24, It' was
considered a very ci editable showing. Dur
ing the rest of the day several cavalryand
battalion drills were gone through.
AFFECTED BY THE BAIN.
Falling Off In Attendance at the Exposition,
Bue to the Weather Some Exhibits Be
ing Arranged The General Attendance
Very Good.
The second day of the Exposition was not
as. well attended as might have been ex
pected had the weather been satisfactory.
The showers that descended in thellfternoon
and kept up with but few intermissions all
day and evening were not conducive to a
good attendance, and the people did not
care to go when they knew they had 38 days
more before them. Still, there were a good
many there, especially in the evening, when
Cappa's band discoursed sweet music and
tbo brilliant electric lights made everything
glitter and show up in its best colors. It is
a largo building, however, and it is neces
sary to have a very large crowd to make it
look full or anything like it.
All the exhibits are not quite ready yet.
They look well, but there is plenty of fixing
to be done before they will be exactly as
their owners intend them to be. Still, it is
Interesting to watch the delt fingers of the
attendants as they trim and touch up their
exhibits and bring order out of what to the
untaught eye seems to be the veriest chaos,
Especially Is this trucor the stands devoted
to jewelry; glassware nnd works of art. The
movement of a statuette, the placing of a
picture at a different angle, the arranging of
some lovely goblet, pitcher or bottle orient
glass so that it will catch the rays of the
electric light, makes a great difference in
the general appearance of a display and it
requires an expert to do it effectively. The
furniture exhibits are complete and form an
interesting feature.
The general appearance of the hall as one
enters from the main entrance is very bril
liant. Each firm .has apparently done its
best to outdo Its neighbor nnd the result is a
display of which Pittsburg must necessarily
be proud. -
Since the hour of onenlnir will bn9 o'clock
throughout the continuance of the Exposi
tion, the management has issued-n strict
order that all dnstlng and sweeping must be
over before that hour, and that all coverings
of exhibits must be removed befoie the
doors are thrown open to the public. The
system that always prevails at the Exposi
tion will bo maintained this year. The de
termination is that tho comfort of the pub'
no suau no paramount, ana mere win ue no
neglect of rule that will conduce to that
end.
Mechanical Hall was a striking sight last
night with the many wheels and pulleys,
connected by mighty belts, in full operation.
All tho trades are being pushed along with
a will, not the leastlnterestlngexhlbit being
a cigar factory, with a number of girls and
men working nway with nimble fingers, and
turning out a large quantity of cigars every
hour.
The sidewalk is being made smooth and
eaiy outside the entrance, and everything is
being done to make the Exposition a pleas
ant place to visit. '

in boots, with travel-stained .dress and face,
and wearing a broad-brimmed straw hat. A

story was anort, aimpie anu sau.
"I am a native of the State," said Thomas
McEldowney, tbo name he gave, "nnd seven
years ago went out to farm in Kansas. I
tried several locations, and at length settled
at Fottawattomie county, where I leased 350
acres of land and a herd of cattle on shares.
Well, It didu'tpay. Farming In Kansas was
never worse than 'during the last three or
four years. It is all right now; this season
is good, but the good time came
too late for me. I hired out as
long as.1 could, but when my poor wife died
about four -weeks ago I gave up the farm
and decided to come East. My brother-in

ing, near urownsvine. uis name isa.pi.
Heath, and I am going to live with him. He
doesn't know l am coming, but I have some
money, and mean to start again."
All McEldowney had with him was a small
bundle of goodness knowswhat. He wore no
coat, butjie wrapped the little one closer to
his breast as he started out with Special

How the Savages of the Andes Treat Them

,On the high slopes .of the Andes dwell
people who make a practice of chopping off
the heads of their enemies and "preserving
them for ornamental uses. The process'
employecLin the preparation of these weird
trophies is finite an art in itself, the head
being literally boned, that is' to jay, de
prived of the skull. For this purpose the
throat is slicedaround with a knife, and the
skin is drawn off over the skull, with care
to keep uninjured the mouth, nose, . and
other features.
Next, the skin being turned right side
out, it is filled with hot gravel, which
makes it shrink. Fresh heated gravel is
put in at intervals, until the head has
shrunk to quarter. the size of that of a new
born babv. It appearance thus transformed
is astonishingly grotesque, and much pleas
ure is derived from hanging it by its long
black hair'from a rafter in the house for the
family to jeer at and abuse now and then.

tin was displayed in badges, in picture
frames, in canes and in decorations on busi
ness blocks and private houses. Clubs came
in a body, while fanners came in delega
tions. The Peflerites claim this as one of the
counties in which they will make great in
roads on the Republican strength, but, un
less all signs fail, they are most wofully
mistaken. It did not look like it to-day,
when most of the members of the various
clubs were farmers, andn vast-majority of
the large crowd were agriculturists. "The
ticket nominated by the PefTerites last June
doesnot contain the names any Kepublicans,
and is composed principally "of agents for
manufactories and not farmers.
Every train dropped a great number of
people at the station to-day, while a solid
stream of vehicles poured their loads of
people into the city throughout the morn
ing hours. The Methodist Episcopal Con
ference also adlonrnod nnd heard the trreat
orator. The people of Champaign county did
Indeed turn out to do the Eepublican
standard-bearer great honor. AH were de
lighted with the manner in which -Major
McKfnley handled botn the tariff and the
silver issues. All wondered that he could
make the subject so plain.
The meeting was held on the fair ground,
the speakers' platform having been built in
front of the grand stand. The grand stand
has a seating capacity of 4,000, and it was
filled. Chairs for a hundred or more distin
guished people wero on the stage, while all
around was crowded with those standing.
When the Major appeared there was a great
stoi-m of cheera a perfect ovation.
Tho meeting has aroused tho Republicans
of Champaign county to a greater degree of
usefulness and has opened the eyes of many
Democrats to the fallacies pf their party
platform. The crowd would doubtless have
been larger had not the -Clark county fair
been in progress nnd for the fact that Major
McKinley is billed for speeches in all the
county seats or larger towns near bv.
- The other State candidates present were
General A. L. Harris, for Lieutenant Gov
ernor; Captain W. T. Cope, for Treasurer:
non. Frederick B. McJfeal, for Dairy and
Food Commissioner. Hon. D. W. Bawlings,
candidate for State Senator from this dis
trict,, was also present. -Chairman nahn ac

HEW YOBK- PSpHrBmOHISTS.
Interesting Plank in Their Platform on the
Tariff and Suffrage.
Alhaky, Sept. 3. The Prohibition Con
vention reassembled for its second day's
session -this morning. The committee on
resolutions reported a platform which was
adopted without amendment. It calls for
the submission to voters of the State of a
prohibitory amendment: favors the appoint
ment or a non-partisan tariff commission;
saya that such commission should so adjust
details of the schedule-that the sum total of.
import duties shall not exceed the revenue
requirements of the Government; that duties
levied on imported articles of manufacture
shall be no higber than' are necessary to re
store to the home manufacturer whatever
equality of conditions he-may have lost by
reason of the payment of a higher scale of
wages in their production, and favors
woman suffrage.
The Nominating Committee reported
in favor of the following State
ticket: tor Governor, J. -ft. Bruce,
a retired, farmer .of Canastota, .Madison
county: Lieutenant Governor, George W.
Halleek, a prosperous farmer of Suffolk
county; Secretary of State, William E.
Booth, of Livingstone county: State Treas
urer, Francis E. Crawford, Westchester
county; Controller, William W. Smith, of
Poughkeepste: State Engineer and Surveyor,
H. B. Forbes, Professor of the. University of
Canton, St. Lawrence county; Attorney Gen
eral, S. E. Crosser, of Buffalo. . This ticket
was unanimously chosen by the convention.

Friends of Both Certain of Their Favor-
ite's Ultimate Success.
CofuxBUS, 8ept. 3. Special Hon. W. S.
Cappeller, of Mansfield, probably one of the
most stanch supporters af 'Governor Fora
kerinthe State for the Senatorship, was in
.the city to-day In consultation with General
W. H. Enochs, the Eepublican nom'nee for
Congress In the Portsmouth district. When
two snch ' strong Foraker men as these two
get together it is cause for comment and
gossip that something is going on which
will be to the detriment of Senator Sher
man, and incidentally the Bepubllcan
ticket. Mr. Cappeller was asked; for his
views on the political situation, and summed
them up with the statement that he would
wager $100 that tho next United States Sena
tor from Ohio would be a Republican; $100
that his name would not bo Sherman, and
$100 that Major McKinley would have a-plurality
of 15.001.
Captain Jake Donaldson, tho right hand
man of Senator Sherman, ald a few minutes
later that Senator Sherman has a malority
of the Republican candidates for the Legis
lature, and that his nomination is assured.
Ho counts on the strong counties and dls
.tricts which are Republican sure, and in
.which there is no chance for Democratic
success. Captain Donaldsofl thinks Foraker
is ill-advised.
B0 SHOW FOB CAMPBELL.
That Is the Report Ohioans Bring Back
" "With Them to Washington.
Washihotos, Sept. 3. iSperfal. Ohioans
in the public service.who have Just returned
after summer vacations spent in their State,
give enthusiastic accounts of the prospects
for the election of Major McKinley. In
Southern Ohio, they assert, there will bo
savage cutting of Campbell among the Ger
mans and their sympathizers. Manv Ohio
Democrats with whom The Dispatch cor
respondent has talked admit that there is
hardly alighting chance for Campbell. The
worst feature of the situation, they say, is
that Democrats all over the State seem to bo
convinced that Campbell is beaten from the
start, andtthereforo, thousands of them who
have a grievance against the Campbell ad
ministration will either stny at home or vote
for TWeKlnlev.
So general is the report of this dissatisfac
tion, nnd it is po often frankly admitted by
Democrats that more welsrht is attached to
the reports than is nsually given to cam
paign stories from tho States.

MAKES HEB HTJSBAHD AH IDIOT.
When an Ecuador Indian Want to Marry
Again She Uses Poison.
Philadelphia Press.3
The aborigines of Ecuador use against
their enemies and in the capture of game
arrows tipped with a mysterious poison of
unknown origin, which is sure and sudden
death to man or beast. These deadly
weapons are fired from blowpipes ten feet
in length and arc effective at a distance of
.160 feet.
Among these people, if a woman is tired
of her husband, she gives him a draught of
"floripondio," distilled from a plant re
sembling the stramony, by drinking which
the Delphic priests of old sought inspira
tion for their oracular "utterances. The
beverage transforms the man into an,idiot,
and the wife marries again. Another
curious custom prevalent in the same region
obliges a man, when his wile is. confined, to
go to bed himself and receive all theatten?
tions ordinarily due to a female, in childbirth.

WHAT FOLLOWS A NIGHT 0??.
Bows of Bottles at the Soda Water Fountain
That Beduce Swelled Heads.
St. Louis Republic
To many people who are frequent cus
tomers the rows of small bottles on the sides
and top of the soda fountain are as sealed
books. But there are others who know full
well the soothing contents of these bottles.
Some drugstores have a goodly patronaga
for what is known as headache drinks.
These are sought by young men who are out
late at night taking m the town and enjoy
ing life generally. Among these drinks are
phospho-caffeine, bromo-seltzer, bromo-caf-,
feine, bromo-soda and the genuine Carlsbad
water.
Of carbonated waters Vichy is still the
most popular, and Geneva magnetic water
is taking the place which the Lebanon water
filled last year. Mixtures of Vichy and
Horsford's acid phospate and Vichy and
phospate are quite popular with certain,
people.
An Electric Fence.
The fanner has had another resource
added to the list of devices for controlling
wild or refractory stock. All he now has
to do to insure the safety of his cattle is to
connect up his wire fence to an induction
coil and a primary battery. A. vigorous
current is thus maintained, and if any of
the cattle should touch the wire with the
idea of breaking the fence or otherwise, they
will experience a new sensation, which will
induce a wholesome caution as far as future
negotiations with the wire fence is con
cerned. New Jackets Keep informed about
prevailing fashions. Visit the store often.
