GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI CSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO Tntc DISPATCH. 1 CKCI2T5ATI, April 13. A cinch on the last rung of the ladder was Cincinnati's lega cy, and by a bat ting rally in the last "Pittsburg gained a clear title to first place in he race. They de served the victory. The " K e d s " played nervous ball, Smith miss ing two chances to catch runners at the plate. Al though -wild, Chamberlain man aged to keep the Pittsburgs" hits down to four until the last inning, when singles by Shugart, Smith and Mack put a run over the rubber, with nobody out. Galvinsent both men forward, and Miller's crack to center tied the score. It was "die easy" lor Cincinnati in the tenth, for then Pitts burg struck the final cruel blow. Farrell took a gift and Beckley worked in another of his patent killers. It went clear to the score board in center and the game was over. Jimmy Worked Hard. Three of Pittsburgs runs were built on pitchers' errors, and though hit hard, Gal vin pitched the harder game. Chamber lain was careless on bases and threw away two chances himself, one a sure run. The defeat was unexpected and came with-crushing force when victory looked sure. There were lots of errors committed as attested by ten unearned runs. There whas a whoop of joy when McPhee cracked the ball into deep left for a couple of bags as a starter. Latham went up with his flat bat and an order in his valise to sacrifice He filled it and then Halligan all but amputated a few fingers for Papa Gal vin who vainly tried to stop a lightning line drive to center. McPhee tallied and proceedings were dclaved a bit while Papa was examined by his friends. Farrell Tied the Score. Farrell sauntered around with the tying run in the second. He earned first, went two bases on a wild pitch, and was saved at home by Smith's bad throw after he had gathered in Shugart's tap. Murphv aroused the stands by successivelv nailing both Shu gart and Smith at second. There were Jots of miscues, gifts, runs and hits in the third, and of the runs scored, Cincinnati having the odd one, not one was earned. Holliday was started offon balls, and OVNeill dropped a hit into right Comiskey put in a sacrifice. Smith hit into short center a fly that was on the borders of Bierbauer's territory, but Swartwood was called and lie made a run ning mufi ol it and the "Bug" scored. Murphy struck out Then Chamberlain rapped out a clean one and O'Xeill cot in. Miller made a great effort to reach McPhee's flv, but he did not quite reach. Smith alone scored, for Chamberlain fell in turn ing third. Bierbiuer In Lin. Latham's line fly was too torrid for Bierbauerto hold but he recovered itintime to catch "Lath" at first and two Beds were left. The first two Pittsbureers up, Swart wood and Farrell, got bases on balls; so did Smith and with the bags full, Mack hit to lialligan. The ball was returned in time to catch Farrell, but he slid into Murphy and all but knocked his old Boston pard out In Farrell's failure to hold a thrown ball, it gave Smith a chance to drive in the two runs in the fifth and Comisky drove the Bed's last tally over the rubber. Beckley's triple and Smith's failure to handle Shugart's tap gave Pittsburg their fourth run. The rest of the funeral has been described. There were some 2,517 mourners.

A. Nobthrof & Co tts Pittsburg, Pa. A-FAEURE TROUBLE Develops Into What Seems the Per secution of a Fittsbarger ON THE PART OP HIS CREDITORS. Unceremoniously Arrested Again While Awaiting a Train. NEWS! KOTES FEOH NEARBY TOWNS rsPKCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Steubenville, April 13, A case of persistent and apparently malicious perse cution developed to-day, when the Sheriff of Guernsey county with two deputies passed through this city on the Panhandle, having in charge William F. "Wagoner, of Pittsburg. His arrest was almost kidnap ing, since he was taken in charge not ten minutes before the train left the station, and he tfas not allowed even the privilege to telephone his wife nor consult his at torney, and his friends in this city were only advised of his arrest by a gentleman wh6 met Wagoner in the station at Pitts burg. The trouble dates back a year ago, when "Wagoner was in partnership . with his brother-in-law, HeHser, of Pittsburg, and operated a large saw mill in this city, be sides being extensively engaged in buying up walnut logs for export to Europe. The firm failed, and among their alleged cred itors were Pryor and Howells, of Barnes ville. The failure was a disastrous one for all the creditors, and Prvor and Howells made affidavit charging "Wagoner with em bezzlement. The hearing was a thorough one, lasting three days, and "Wagoner was not only dis-' charged but the Justice declared also that Pryor and Howells were rather indebted to Wagoner than he to them. Then Barnes- ville people made a further effort to have him indicted by the grand Jury, but the complaint was ignored. A suit was sub sequently brought against Pryor and How ells for malicious piosecution and resulted in a compromise. Then Pryor and Howells' attorney brought suit against them for his fees, and both members of the firm de clared under oath that their only object in having Wagoner arrested was to endeavor to obtain money by legal process out of him or his triends, if possible. Notwithstanding the compromise and dec laration, thev attempted to secure his in dictment in Belmont county but Jailed, and now it would seem that they have succeeded in Guernsey county. As the requisition was based upon an indictment here, where Wag oner is so n ell known and so many are con versant with tho facts, the proceedings are regarded as a hizh-handed outrage, and attorneys left to-night for Cambridge to right the alleged wrong, if possible.

Blow Up AU Towns "Within 40 lilies Shaken, as by an Earthquake Bodies Hurled 200 Feet Away. WlLKESBAERE, April 13. A frightful explosion of powder completely.demolished the mills of the Moosio Powder Company to-day. The first explosion was in the drying- mill, and a fraction of a second later the storage house blew up. The shocks were felt over a radiuVof 40 miles, and thousands of people in surrounding towns rushed out of doors, thinking an earthquake had taken place. Both shocks were distinctly heard here, 20 miles away. The mills were blown to the smallest atoms, and there were no fragments found larger that a foot long. Eight men were killed and one fatally in jured. The dead are: John Gibbons, Daniel Caret, Aaron Coolbauoh. MocekTccker, e'w'd j.vanderbero, allen smail. Cabadoo Rkese, George allis. Daniel Billings was mortally wounded. The body of John Gibbons was blown 150 feet into the air. Caradog Beese was found 60 feet from the scene. Moses' Tucker was found 150 feet awav. Other bodies were found from 150 'to 200 feet distant. The scenes of anguish duplicate those of fright ful mine accidents. The iron frame work on the Erie and "Wyoming Bailroad ued as a spark screen was torn and twisted like paper. The loss will reach $20,000. The explosion occurred in the packing room, where 800 kegs of powder were stored at the time, each weighing 25 pounds. It is believed by those left who operated the mills, that the accident was caused by fric tion from one of the rollers, but this is all that will ever be known about it. Near the entrance of the mills stood a large brick building used as a store room. This was occupied as a temporary morgue.
