Brewer was considered vell-nich invincible until he met Fulford six weeks a-;o at Marion and suffered defeat in two out of three matches, and there were men in this city and Philadelphia who up to that time would have wagered thousands of dollar that the stalwart captain could defeat any man in the world, Hurlingham rule, with such birds as were furnished for to-day's match. Kndnrancn and Skill. To-day's match was the outcome of the contests at Marion, and in order that the endurance, as well as the skill, of each man should be tested, the agreement was that 200 birds should be shot at John Kiggots,, of Long Branch, was referee, and Charles II. Townsend, ol Forest and Stream, official corcr. Brewer shot his "Princess" Greener hamnicrlcss, weighing 7 pounds 15 ounces, and Fuliord his new "Jf-ponnd Greener liammcr gun The morning was clear and crisp, and there was scarcely a suggestion or a breeze as the men appeared to toss for shots. Not more than a minute was lost Sn preliminaries before the match was under war and betting, which had lagged somewhat, became very lively, even money bcin: the ruling odds It was plain at th; outset that the birds were an unusualiy po.-d lot and when at the conclusion of the first 23 Fulford had kill 13 to Brewer's 2), tlir remark was general that no man living could make clean scores on such rapid-fly. injr, twKting birds as those sprung for this watch. Then followed A Met Kxciting Match for more than 100 birds. The men were not tcpated by more than two birds. For half an hour at a time they were tied, and when Brewer misled it was almost invariably a siznal for Fulford to dn likewise.

Fulford made the crowd shout bv hi kill of his fiftr-first bird; the second bairel doing the deed at 00 yards. "When 200 birds had been shot the teore was a tie with 1R7 kills each. Brewer's powers of endurance were expected to tell in the lrticr part of the race, but Fulford, despite the heavy load he was shooting, the recoil making him winec perceptibly kept a bird or two in the lead until the end of iof Hi-n the one hundred aud fiftieth round, wlieu the scorer announced a tie.

The v.iad had ireshciu'd considerably, and at 2 o'clock it wa blowing smartly in the backs ol the shooters. This gave the birds addi tional impetus and helped to keep the k:o down. From the 150ih to the 175th birds nobody ever saw such flyers. They went a way like catapults. Fulford managed to keep on even terms or one bird in the lead until each had shot at 17.3. Then he out lucked and outshot his opponent, and the Jesuit va- never in doubt. Brewer was much chagrined and when he missed his 19Sth bird with both barrels, he remarked ruefully: "I'm doing the meanest shooting I've done in ten vcars." EXCITING TENUIS PLAYIN3.

THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. Soino Information as to How Matters Stand With the Association Clubs The ew Castles Ilave Sot Yet Won the Pennant Several Exciting Games to Come. Although little has Deen heard regarding the ntrairs or the Western Pennsylvania Football League lately, tho organization is not entirely wrecked, as many people sup pose. There is no doubt that there has been littlo interest taken in tho competition in this city since tho Pittsburg club withdrew from the contest; wllile, to make matters worse, the Bloomfleld club seems to have died a natural death, as they have forfeited tho last three scheduled games.while nothing can lie learned as to their intentions for tho future. The four remaining clubs tho Sew Castles, Homesteads, McDonalds and Mc-Kce"-ports however, intnd to carry out the schedule, which clones on Sow Year's Day. The Sew Cnstlo club are now almost sure to win the pennant, as they have a clear lead of four points from Homestead, who aro at present in second place. They have still tw o games on tho schedule to play, hut one being witli Pittsburg, leaves them with only McKccnort to bent to be hailed lis the champions of Western Pennsylvania forths season of ISSl-'fli. Considuiing the fact that this is their first season in tho League . their record is one of which any club may well bo prond. They have played all their scheduled games to date of w hich they have won six, lost one and tied one. They have altogether scoied twenty goals and lost six, while out of tho eight "games tbev have whitewashed their opponents no fewer than five times. Their game with MeKecport will be pla ed on tho lattcis ground on Christmas Day, and in tho contest they ought to leave nothing to chance, as should they meet w ith defeat there i still a possibility of their being beaten out by McDonald. The disputed game between tho latter clnb and Tittsburg is still undecided, and should the League insist on the game being replayed, it will, of course, bo as good as making the McDonald club a piesent of it, seeing the Plttsburgs are playing no Loagua games now. This would leave the McDonald club with onlv two defeats against thorn, and as if is likely they will win their re maining scheduled games, it will then be seen that the Sew Castle club have not al ready w on the pennant, as in generally suj posed. The Homestead club who have made a plucky fight all seaon will now try to finish in second position, but will be pushed hard bv the McDonald and McKeesports. Tho Pittsbnrg club, although having retired fiom the League competition, are as full of life as ever, and at present are nrrangHg a number of first-class games with outside clubs. Arrangemcntd have been made to play Toungstown at Exposition Park on Christmas, whilo a return match will be played at Yonngstown tho following day.

Things arc looking extremely bright now for the Pittsburg ball club. Late on Fridaf evening Manager Buckenborgor sigTul Weaver, the excellent catcher and out fielder :f last year's Louisville team. Tho fact that ?"cver has signed with the local club goes to snor that ho had not signed with the LonisviHui for next year. Tho local officials aro delighted with the capture of Weaver, and Presidcn; Temple is now confident that theis will bo a good tea;i beie next year. Tho signing of Grimm and Weavu will be a saving lor tho local club, as they can both catch and play lieldinir positions in great style. This will enable the club to get along with comparatively few men. It is very likely that Coikhill" will be released in the early part of thcseaeoi. He wonldhave been released at once had he not received advance money, bnt if an other club wants him and is willing to pay tho Pittsburg club the mone3 advanced it is probable that he willbcletgo. Thethrccnewndditions,Ehret, Grimm and Weaver, aro satisfactory to all concerned, and prom'ij'5 tobo great captures. The signing of them reflects great credit on Managor Buckenbcrger. Vice Prcsideiu Kerr sla.es that Weaver has. so far, not ap plied for any advance money. MB.

TMEouted Tartj Falls L'ack and Officers Throw Up Eedouuts. EEGULAE SOLDIERS ARE UNDER ARMS Denver, Dee 12. A strike of the min ers at the mines of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company, at Crested Butte, has re sulted much more seriouslya than was at first anticipated, and there are yet indica tions of further bloodshed. About two weeks ago 500 Austrian and Italian miners employed at these works went out on a strike because of a proposed reduction of wages. Since then they have refused to allow the company to bring in new men; have stopped the pnmps and fans, at the works, allowing them to fill with gas until there is danger of the mines blowing up, and have paraded the streets heavily armed, threatening death to anyone who attempts to assist the company. Yesterday Sheriff" Shares, of Gunnison, arrived there with a posse of 75 men. No sooner had the Sheriff mid his men alighted from the train than they were attacked by about 200 Sicilians and Anstrians, armed with Winchester rifles. The officer held his men for a moment and then ordered them to return the fire, which they did with deadly effect, killing MikeCopuicine, Mike Jtinnelon, Mike Gueroio, Mike Worn and John Poche. They were all Italians. George Simonioi and Matt Grahak, Austrians, were fatally wounded. After the firing the miners retreated and the Sheriff's posse marched up the hill, took possession of the mines and threw up redoubts. The miners are swearing revenge upon every friend of the coal company, and the town of Crested Butte is threatened with destruction. Further trouble is feared to night, which, if started, will result in many deaths. The Governor has called out tho State militia and the troops are now at the armory ready to start for the scene by special train at a moment's notice. A MYSTSBI0TJ3 VITBI0L THE0WEB Disfigures for Eifo and Probably Blinds a .Camden Masseur. Philadelphia, Dec 21. ISvecial' Mrs. Carrie Hoberstroh, a middle-aged widow residing in Camden, who gives massage treatment, and also follows the profession of a chiropodist, wos to-night the victim of a vitriol thrower. There is a certain mystery surrounding the case which the police have as yet been unable to solve. They are unable to determine whether the vitriol was intended for Mrs. Hoberstroh or her pretty daughter, Miss Jennie F. Hober stroh, who is a typewriter and a trained nurse. Mrs. Hoberstroh is badly burned about the face and hands, and it is feared will lose her sight, beside being disfigured for life. Her dress was also badlv burned by the deadly liquid. The vitriol wns thrown so quicklv, and Mrs. Hoberstroh was so sud denly blinded, that she couldn't tell to-night who committed the dastardly act, or whether the person was a man or woman. The vic tim resides at a modest but comfortable home with her son Charles, an oilcloth printer, and her daughter Jessie. The lat ter says she does not know of an enemy they have in the world, and cannot suspect who committed the dastardly deed. The affair happened about 7 o'clock to-nigbt, when Mrs. Hoberstroh answered a ring at the do!-, where she was met by the un known P250i. TEXAS IY5CHBBS T0ILJi. An Eloquent Judge Deprives Them of a Couple of Victims. Corsicasa, Tex., Dec. 12. Special It is quite likely there will yet be some sensational developments in the Cohen & Co. failure at Blooming Grove. Late last night a number of excited farmers, whose cotton receipts are tied up in the firm's as sets, called on Mr. Cohen nnd his partner, Mr. Stokes, and demanded that the receipts he released. Cohen & Stokes, being un able to grant their request without violat ing the law, refused. High words followed, when some one in the crowd yelled: "Hang the rascals!" Hopes that evidently had been brought along for the purpose, with nooses on the ends, were thrown over the two men's heads and the crowd made a rush for a telegraph pole, when Judge Samuel R. Frost came on the scene, ne rushed up to the two im prisoned men, and throwing the ropes from their necks, addressed the crowd eloquently. He finally shamed them out of their pur pose and dispersed the crowd. In the morn ing a number of dissatisfied men came to this city and began threatening Mr. Cohen's father and brother, but were counseled into placing the matter in lega1 shape for prose cution and induced to go home.
