tSrEOAI. TEIXGBAlt TO THE DISPATCH.!
St. Louis,
April 13.
Mark Baldwin
and his team
were complete
ly kcocked out
here by the
Browns to-cay.
It was univer
sally under
stood that Mr.
Baldwin was
going to wipe
$i9
(fy up tie earth
i " . S ..-til, fflTI
Glacock's men, but he will go away dis
appointed. His curves did not seem to have
any effect at all on the batting in this longi
tude, and the Browns hammered him un
mercifully. The poor "Pirates" were not
in it. They tore up the ground, but it was
of no avaiL The Browns commenced their
tally making in the second inniug, and kept
it up almost at pleasure. Mark got hot, bnt
that did not count. At the beginning of
the came he was quite sanguine, but when
teen at the end he was decidedly immeasur
ably "dc trop."
An Off Day Tor Onr Sluggers.
It must have been an o0 day -with him,
for he was iust knocked clean out of the
box, and the $10,000 beauty is not used to
Eiich thin"-. As conserns the Browns, they
played well at nearly eery point and put
up a game that was a'hsppy contrast to that
which thev lost to Chicago on Tuesday.
Their team" work was all that could be de
sired, and separately cacli man did his play
with much honor. G'asscock is back in his
old term again and he got in some more ot
his phenomenal work at short. Crooks was
open to everything in his territory and
never let anything slip. Werden was a
veritable basilica on first and played to
everything that came. Tinckney covered
the bag at third in most creditable style arid
his corner was always interesting. Brcit
enstein was the man that made the mildew
that dampened the ardor of the Pirates and
their gallant skipper, 3Iark.
homo I'uiz'iii; Curves.
His curves were simply unsizable, and he
bad the Pittsburg bovs guessing every wav
thev might. For Pittsburg, Bierbaner's
playing at second and Miller's work behind
the" bat were noteworthy. Mack covered
first iu the absence of Beckley, who left for
Hannibal, Mo., this morning to attend the
funeral of a relative. Mack accepted every
chance offered him in commendable style.
The victory belonged to St. Louis simply
on nccnuntfof the frequent hitting done by
them throughout the iiine innings.
The scorin; commenced in the second, when
tPinckney led off with a single and scored
on Glasscock's long safe drive to left and
Vandyke's single to center. Buckley sac
rificed, bringing in Glasscock. In the filth
Breitenstein went to first on balls, was ad
vanced to second on Crook's sacrifice and
crcss-ed the plate on Carroll's double to left
center.
Onr Three Hon.
After going to third on a wild pitch, Car
Toll scored on "VVcrden's single past second.
Pittsburg's three runs in the seventh were
scored on Shugart's double. Smith's base on
balls, Corkhill's single. Miller's double and
a couple of steals. Crooks' base on balls, a
Eteal to second and Carroll's hit to center
tor a base scored one for the Browns in the
seventh. Vandyke knocked a fly to Smith
in the ninth, which was mufieil, enabling
the runner to reach second. Alter going
to third on Buckley' sacrifice, Vandyke
scored on Breitcnssein's single to left.
Crooks singled and Ctrroll smashed one out
aiainst the right field scats lor three bases,
scoring Breitenstein and Crooks. Corkhill
threw wild in his return of the ball, ena
bling Carroli to score. The score:

BAirraoBE, April 13. The Brooklvns to
day after some delay played a gamo with
the Baltimore and came off victorious by a
scorooflOtoS. The contest was somewhat
exciting and the home team lost through er
rors of Van Haltren and Shindle. The Brook
lyn's batted hard in the first five Innings,
nnd the pitcher was taken out orthe box, sub
stituting Cobb, the new Calirornlan.who was
quite effective. The visitors hit the ball
very effectively and took advantage of all
the misptays. Tho weather was very cold.

THE G1TY ASSESSOfiS' LIST.
It Jllust Be Printed, Costs the City 87,000
nud Ylolds Practically Nothing Con
troller aiorrow VTanls It Cheapened or
AVIntd Oat of Kxistenco.
The Board of Assessors are making prep
arations for the printing of a descriptive
list of all the taxable real estate in the city
according to the act of 1887, under which
the board was created, although no pro
vision was made ior such a list in this
vear's appropriations. "Where the money
Is to come from no one seems to know, but
the law requires the list and it will be
printed.
There is a general sentiment among city
officials that this list is a waste of money,
and is of no benefit to anyone except to real
estate agents. The list of three years ago
cost 57,000, and although some of the print
ed copies were sold the city only received
floO Jor them, aud the bulk of the edition is
still on the City Treasurer's hands. The
price first fixed for the books was ?2 per
set, but for the past year they have been
"marked down" by a resolution of-Councils
to '25 cents a set.
The books are printed in two volumes of
several hundred large pages each, and,
owing to the rule and figure work required
in their composition, are very expensive to
prepare. Alter the last triennial assessment
the courts decided unconstitutional a section
of the law requiring taxable property to be
issessed at the price of the "last recorded
sale," iu the absence of other information
as to value. The charter ordinance pro
vided that the printed list should contain a
concise description of each piece ot real
estate as well as the price paid nnd the date
of the last recorded sale
Controller Jlorrow says now that the
last recorded sale is not required in the list
it should not be inserted, and he proposes
to offer an amendment simplifying the list,
excluding that feature entirely and cheap
ening the cost of the books considerably.
He will also ask that the books' be either
given away or sold at a trifling figure. He
will ask the next Legislature to repeal the
clause of the act requiring the list.

FIXING FOR SPORT.
Tho Three A'a Blossoming Out in
Their New Athletic Grounds.
BOB EEKSE ENGAGED AS TEAINEB
Eecreation Turk to Have Many llnch
JCeeded Improvements.
A SPECIAL PARK FOR LAWN TENNIS
The Allegheny Athletic Association has
secured a trainer and its members will be at
work in a short time preparing for the sum
mer field meetings. The new trainer is
Bob Keese, an old English sprinter, who
has been a trainer for athletes for years.
He will have full charge of the new park, as
well as the athletic work of the young men.
The association is very proud of its new
park, and will spend considerable money in
putting it in first-class shape. Recreation
Park always did make a pretty picture
from the stand and the Three A's are going
to have it in as good condition as ever. The
diamond will be rolled down solid and the
outfield will be kept in short lawn grass.
The running track will be put in good order.
It is now about half cinders nHd the other
half is clay. It may all be made cinder
later, but not at present.
A Special Park for Tennis.
The club also leased the old Y. M. C A.
Park just across the street irom Recreation
Park, and it will be used almost exclusively
for lawn tennis. At present six courts will
be laid out, but more will be added as fast
as needed, if it requires a dozen to keep the
members going. By having the tennis in
this park, baseball or other sports will not
interlcre with the games.
The grandstand and clnbhonse will be
fixed up. Lockers will be put in ior the use
of the members. There is now a good bath
room under the grandstand. If the weather
will permit, the work ot making the changes
will begin Monday morning. The diamond
in Becreation Park and the tennis ground
will be plowed up and rolled. As soon as
it settles it will be in excellent shape ior
playing.
Since the first of the year 150 new names
have been added to the membership list of
the club, malting iu all about 400. It is ex
pected that the track will byng in a large
number of bicycle riders. The tennis courts
will increase the membership among the
ladies.
The Season's Schedule of Tourneys.
There are already announced two open
athletic tournaments, one on July 4 and the
other on September 24. There will also be
a club field day some time during the season.
In the tennis 'department there will in all
probability be one open and oue club
tournament
There are quite a number of baseball
games scheduled with good amateur teams
East and West. The association will have
a first-class ball team. It will be made up
of the best men in the Three A's, and there
is somegood material to choose from.
The association is fully prepared for
cricket, but has no team. However, there
are a number ot good cricketers in the club
who will doubtless have games among them
selves. In another season a cricket team
will doubtless be added to the other ieat
ures of the association.
The club will have a first-class place
when it is finished, but it has been done
only at a great expense. Having the ar
rangements for athletic meetings and races
of all sorts, it is expected that the park will
be sub-let for field days given by associa
tions not so favored as' to own good parks.
THE LATEST BETTING.
Goodwin's A dr!c Regarding the Brooklyn
nnd Suburban Tort Handicaps.
The following is an official statement from
Goodwin Bros, to this paper last evening re
curding the latest bettinc on tbe Suburban
and Brooklyn handicaps: Quite some little
.betting has been Indulscd in since' our last
quotations, those of the long-priced division
being the ones to be nibbled at. Winning
something for comparatively nothing is
naturally the desire of all those who take
flyers at the big handicaps. The lollowinsr
avill show how the "short 'uns" have been
sought utter:
For thq Brooklyn .Tudio Morrow's pricn
has fallen from 23 to 20; Strathmeath from SO
to 25: Teirifler fiom 40 to SO: his stable com
panion, Itussel, Horn 20 to 15; Portchester
from 40 to 2.1. and tho favorite, Lonzstreet,
fiom u to the very short price of 4; some ot
tho "bookies'.' have him 3.
For the Sin burunn, Ambulance, Fatrview
nnd English Ladv have been backed down
to 40 to 1 each; Strathmeath, Bey del Key
ana San Juan to 30 each: Allan Bane and
George W. from 200 to So; May Win nnd War
path to 10 from 100; the same applies to Peter
nnd Beans: Tristan has always shown
strength from the start, and although 20 to 1
wan not very tempting, still his price has
been cut to 15.

AFTEB THE WEST EHD E0AD.
The Plttsburc; Traction Company Said to Be
Figuring on Its Purchase.
It is now rumored the Pittsburg Traction
Company will buy the West End street car
line, and a new electric road will be built,
to be known as the Pittsburg, Neville
Island and Coraopolis. From Coraopolis it
will run to McKee's Bocks, where it will
connect with the West End road.
A representative ot the Pittsburg Trac
tion Company is said to be conferring with
the stockholders of the West End road,
with a view to purchasing. A meeting of
the stockholders has been called.and a vote
will be taken on the matter.
The Neville Island road wfll run directly
through tbe island and cross a bridge at the
lower end into Coraopolis. The cars will
cross the county bridge from McKee's
Bocks, near the i)avis Island station. This
would give the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany a line 19 miles in length. The fare
would probably be 15 cents.

CSPECfAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DIRPATCIt.l
Beadpoed, April 15. H. Clay Smith,
ex-Deputy Sheriff, ex-pedagogue, forger,
pseudojpreacher nnd criminal in general, is
at fast 'behind the bars. About four months
ago the Cumberland officer?, anxious to pro
oure the reward which, it appears, had been
offered for his arrest, began to search for
him, and followed the trail through West
Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. As he
traveled he wonld impersonate a minister
and hold protracted meetings.
A few days ago Officer Keller, of Cumber
land, learned that Smith was in Ellerslie
visiting his wife. Accompanied by li. H.
Willison, he entered the house in which
Smith was staying at midnight and asked
for him. The fugitive upstairs overheard
the men and, becoming alarmed, ran to the
front window and leaped through, falling 19
feet. As soon as he landed he made off
toward the Pennsylvania line, which is only
about 200 yards away. In- order to
prevent him getting over the border,
Sir. Keller fired at the fleeing man. He dart
ed behind a building and intoan alley. After
a few moments' search Smith was discov
ered and captured. He was taken to Cum
berland, whore bo will remain until the
necessary papers to brinjr him across tbe
line aio procured from the State Depart
ment. He will be brought here for trial Mon
day, and, as there are ei-rlit indictments
acainst him for forgery, a salty sentence is
in store for him.
Smith was a candidate for Sheriff before
the last Republican Conntv Convention, and
came within a few votes of beinenominated.
Had ho not started on the downward course,
in which women and wine played a prom
inent part, he would have likely been nomi

He Has Been Seen at Scottdale Bepeatedly
Since tbe Itecent Murder.
Scottdalts, April 15 Special. While tho
Sheriff and posse have been huntin-r Pritts,
one of the murderers of old man Uochstet
ler, that much-wanted man has been on sqv
oral shoppina excursions. Pritts lias been
spchdin-r several days with friends near Ore
Mines, a hamlet in the mountains about
seven miles from here. Tuesday last and
yesterday he was in town. Yesterday,
among several small articles pnrcljased, lie
bronjjht two boxes of 41 caliber cartridges.
The man was looked upon with suspicion
here, though it was not known until to-day
that it was tho notation Pritts.
At Scottdale Junction he was recognized
by two men who had known him years aso
in Somerset county. Their surveillance
seemed to cause Pritts considerable annoy
ance. He had bought a ticket for Mr. Pleas
ant, bnt refused to take tho train, nnd after
remarking that Miller was a root for giving
hi.nseir up when ho could have hidden for a
lifetime. Pritts started for the mountains on
foot, and there was no one in the town who
dared follow bim. While heie Pritts was
struck by the several photographs displayed
on the streets, giving scenes of the murder
and nmrdereis. Ho examined his own pho
tosraph very earelully.and then remarked to
the bystanders: "That picture of Pritts is a
piotty good one, for I used to know bim my
self." There is no doubt felt here that
Pritts Is even now in tho vicinity of Ore
Mines, and can easily be found by his
friends, but woe to the enemy who comes in
sight.

Great Keys
Such as St. Peter carried in pictures, and
the rest of us carried in discomfort, went
suddenly out of use on the introduction of
the famous " YALE " locks. Then some
happy people jumped to the conclusion
that any small key meant a "YALE"
lock. Not so. It's easy to make a worth
less lock with a little key, and it takes
less metal. Your protection lies in one
word. See that " YALE " is stamped on
every Key. If that is there, security Is
there also. Sold wherever locks sell.

HOW MUCH GOOD,
Not HowMuch MoneyThe Incentive
Nto Professional Work Should Be
the Pride of Achievement
Against the Mere Sub
stantial Reward.
Bovr Brnch Good Can B Bone, Not How
Much Money Can Be Made Drs. Cope
land, Bull & Byerx Tield to So Men in
Foint of Love for Their Work.
There Is a sense of satisfaction in work;
well done with which no substantial reward
that may accrue can compare.
This Is the secret of the sweetness of pro
fessional triumph, and it explains why a
lawi er will take an Important case without
a fen, why an artist paints a picture which
he knows be cannot sell, and why a physi
cian will make the most extraordinary
efforts to save a caso that i-i intrusted to his
hands by a patient who seeks his help as the
last means of fnvlng life before giving him
self up to tutor despair.
This sense of sntifaetion is the balm that
soothes all the irritation, perplexities, an
noyances and trials of profe'iional life.
In the breast of every man who loves his
profcslon and his art Or science there Is a
constantly burning flame of enthnsinsm
that fires him to the most supreme effort ns
it snstalns him in the most ardnous labor.
The thought of duty well done is really his
greatest reward, lnce all others are sec
ondary. The pride that a physician takes
la his
Professional Triumphs
Is, therefore, pardonable. Having the en
thusiasm of tho true workers in their field of
science, Drs. CoDeland, Hall and Byers point
with pride to the results" or their work.
Since their establishment in Pittsburg they
have each week presented in thee columns
the simple, candid, sincere, and. withal, en
thusiastic statements of patients who havo
been restored to health under their care.
These statements have come from men and
women well known in the community (with
names and addresses given in full, so that
those who desired to do so could verify
them) and not from unknown or obcure
sources, from people in small towns in
Maine, Florida. Minnesota or Oregon as ono
sees them in the average testimonials.
Tne statements of this week are full of in
terest to tho-e suffering with catarrh, that
terrible disease that, beginning with asiUht
cold, l-nds the victim through tortnrej
unspeakable totbat fatal malady, consump
tion. Another thing should be understood: Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Bycra yiold to no men in
Doint ot love for their work or enthusiasm
in their practice. Medical Science Is their
creed, to do good their religion. Ir un.ini
mnted by these Instincts there would be lit
tle left to stimulate them in their work. To
take upa case abandoned by other physi
cians and to accomplish in its treatment the
highest possible results is what they aim to
accomplish; and. this done, they are satis
fied with the returns made, however meager,
substantially, they may be.
A PLAIN STATEMENT,
In "Which the Truth Is Told Without Feav
or Tavor.
Treating as many patients as Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers ao, it is but nntnral
that they should be ruhjecc to some adverse
crltlclotn on the part of a few dissatisfied
ones; but investigation of such cases al
ways reveals tbe fuct that these disgruntled
ones have been careless and negligent in
the use of their medicine. In some cases
during the cold season a patient will take a
severe cold immediately after beginning
treatmentand forafew weeks feel worse
than before, and thus grow discouraged and
discontinue.
Drs. Copeland, Hall and Bvers work no
miracles and perform no sorceries. They
enre catarrh, but it is by patient, regular,
systematic nnd methodical treatment.
Thos-e who put their medicine on the man
tel piece and let it remain there day after
day without using it will undoubtedly fall
to get a cure, and this l-i the class of pa
tients who claim they have not been bene
fited. Another thing Drs. Copeland, Hall and
IS yen have to contend against is the weath
er. During the severe and frequent changes
of the weather, as the season passes from
winter into spring, the high winds which
enrrv pneumonia and other pulmonary
tronble-ilnto every family, make it almost
impo-siule to causo any headway In tho
treatmentofcatarrh.il troubles. If one can
cnlv hold his own during snch time he is do
ing" remarkably well. Given favorable
weather, the co-operation or the patient and
a reasonable period or time they can cure
any case or catarrh, no matter of bow long
standing or degree of soverlty.
A "RETIRED MERCHANT'S STATEMENT.
Head, Stomach and Liver Trouble of 14
Tears' Slandlns Cured by Drs. Cope'and
Hail nnd Byers.
Mr. J. J. O'Donnell. who resides on Kansas
street, Twenty-third ward, is a typical go
ahead business man of the present age, who,
in bis ambition to excel in the business
world, "neglects that most priceless Jewel,
health. Recently he furnished for publica
tion the following statement:
"Like many another," says Mr. O'Donnell,
"I had a wild ambition to get rich, and
worked day and night with thnt object in
view, neglecting exercise, needfnl sleep and
regularity or taking my meals. To this lat
ter I attribute the most ot my ills.
"For 14 years my stomach and liver caused
mo the greatest trouble. During a great
part of that time I was compelled to live nn
ii'iuiu jihhi (-nfciroiy,
as solids caused
great distress, nau
sea, vomiting, flatu
lence anil tho most
excruciating
cramps. Vomiting
was my only relief
from such attacks.
"In addition to my
stomach trouble I
had a bad taste In.
my month in the
mbrnlng.afonl.sllmy
'ongue undoffensiye
wNNvWtoSSkSotMIIIkSS " nlmot constant
ftAWWWWS-SNSSNJ headache and utiff-
Jfr. Wlxmnell. ncss in my neck.
"Rending of so 'nany remarkable cures by
Drs. Copeland. Hall and Ryersi I deter
mined to consult them, but witlj little hope
of benefit ns I had long since given that
up in depnlr. Their examination and
method of handling mv case was so thor
ough and professional it at once Inspired me
with confidence, and I decided to take treat
ment. "Tho results are very decided and satis
factory. All my distressing symptoms havo
been dispelled. I cait eat anything and at
any time without fear of after distress. My
headaches are gone and I feel perfectly well
in every respect, with my old-time vigor
nnd ambition reasserting Itself. I owe all
this to the careful and conscientious treat
ment received at tho hands of Drs. Cope
land, Hall and Byers, and cheerfully make
this statement iu their praise."
Treatment try Mdll.
Almost every mall brings letters asking
Drs. Copeland, Hall & Byers: "Is it neces
sary for us to live in Pittsburs In order to
take your treatment?" "Can you treat pa
tientsat their homes by mail:" and other
questions ot similar import.
Drs. Copoland, Hall Jfc Byers desire tostate,
therefore, for the benefit of those who may
be hesitating about writing to them, that
by Iheir question blanks and other syste
matic arrangements, u sufficient knowledge
of each case can be obtained to make treat
ment an easy matter. Thus patient can

burg. Medicines are sent by express, a reg
ular correspondence is required and main
tained, and the physician and patient are
thus in constant touch. Prompt replies are

fications in treatment prescribed with the
proper medicines, and in every detail each
case is worked out until a cure is effected.

ner be treated very successfully and very
carefully, Write and ask for symptom
