The Cincinnatis defeated the St. Louis Browns to-day in the presence of 15,200 people. The game was sharply contested and Cincinnati was given the benefit of every close decision by Um pire Sheridan, several ol whose breaks were so palpable as to arouse the condemnation of the immense gathering. Caruthers up to the eighth inning pitched a great game, but the bunching of several bad base decisions and callingof balls seemed to unnerve him. The Cincinnatis received an ovation. Comiskey coming in for a large share of it. The Browns accepted every one but one of 49 fiVlding chances, and both teams put up a generally excellent game. It was the great est game played here this year. Both teams were in exquisite form and any number of brilliant plays were consum mated. "Werden carried off the honors tor the Browns and McPhee tor the Beds. It was either side's game to the eighth, when Latham hit for a double and Halligan and H oil i day lollowed up with home run drives, clinching the contest for Cincinnati. Antonio Mullane.the Count of Cincinnati, never pitched a better game in his life. He bad the Browns at his mercy.

Beckley and His Hat. Speaking of Becklcy, Ken Mill ford, of Cin cinnati, says: His bat cut no little figure in Pittsburg wins here. Theie is so much uncertainty about baseball that it is absurd for tho cranks to prematurely lejoice at any stage of the game. The gods of the bleachers who guyed t'.io Hannibal giant for striking out w hen two men were on bases were destined. to mourn later when his terrific drive won the game. That incident was very much like a little affair ot a year ago when Tommy Burns, who had been chaffed for striking out, lesponded later on with a crack that gave Biooklvn the game." "BecWey can't sacrifice," asserted Secre tary Scandrett. -He has ths.t long swing of his drilled into him. He got the hang of it while wielding a big hammer in a boiler lactory." Big Crowds Expected. When Secretary Scandrett, of the local club, was In Cincinnati he said to a reporter: "In giving the population or the League cities, both Cincinnati and Pittsburg suffer. Here you have the three cities and many populous suburbs to draw on while at Pitts, lung we reallv have 000,000 people in our territory. When BUtimore plays us on lecoration Day I'll wager ne haveoverSO, C00 people out. That figure has been beaten there on that day when we were in the As sociation's Eastern division. It is a better necoration any than a FouithofJuly town. In one caso the trains are taxed bringing the people into the citv, and on the otner oc casion they are packed carrying them into the country."

Football, baseball and track athletics will be Included in ilie ltt of sports, and a field dav In Chi cago in June is one of the probabilities. OTESS TOO EAELY. An Objection to the Length of tho Leigue Baseball Season. An Eastern baseball writer has the follow ing to say regarding tho earfy opening of the J baeball season : "The absurdity of beginning the season so early in the North has already been forcibly illustrated. On Tuesday, In most of the citico. it was too cold for anything like com fortable work and the spectators were in misery! There can be no excuse for arrang ing names so eurlv and extending the season into the middle or October. The few warm days that srenorallv break up the winter, and are followed b3" weather too inclement for anv outdoor sport, ought not to have de ceived the magnates. In thepnstthe League has alwaxs delayed the opening games and laushed at tho Association lor rushing tho season. Once or twice the younger rival succeeded in getting a few dollars out of early opening games hnt the League lost little. This season the League men fell into the Association's way of thinkimr, and tho results may be felt all tho rest of the season. "For this mistake the Schedule Committee is not Ui blame, for it on!v followed instruc tions in preparing the 154 game schedule. In fact it prepared two schedules, the re jected one containing 182 games and the ono adopted i:4. .ueiorc tno season is over, it is likely that some of the clubs will bo pre vented fiom playing about 20 games, and the receipts w ill not warrant the elongation of tho season. Had the opening raines been de layed ten days, the chances are that the army of 36,200 spectators would have been increased, as most of the Eastern cities showed a falling off in attendance rather than an increase over former year. To have onlv 4 500 persons at the opening camo in Philadelphia shows what an influence tho weather has had on the people." GETTINB THEM BEADY. Interest In the Eastern Runners Increas ing Among the Turf Patron. New Youk, April 17. Special. Eastern patrons of the turf are atchinghe work of the horses entered in the big handicaps closer than ever. "Private trials" are now becoming numerous on various tracks. The number of horses quartered on the Graves end track is Increasing, and things are live lier here than on anv other track. The horses as a rule are as far advanced as they w ere this time last year. Masher, Mas terlode, Carroll, Now or Never, Sir John, Bolero. Eon. Long Beach, Longford and the others appear to be in good shape. Giecn Morris' string are all doing fairly well with the exception of Strathmeath.who is undoubtedly an invalid, and there is con siderable doubt about bis bcinzable to go to the post for the Brooklyn handicap. A horse that -n ill certainlv run well is Madstone. He will carry but 10S ponnds.and as he is big and strong he is apt to surprise somebody. Eon is rapidly cetting down to form, and that the big horse will be in front there is no doubt. Taken all iu all. tho work and condition ot the horses at Gravcsend is very satisfactory. No Sunday Games for Indianapolis. IxciAXAroLis, April 17. The game sched uled between Milwaukee and Indianapolis to-day was postponed. The sentiment against Sunday ball playing here is so much that the management dec.aeu, before join Ins the League, to piny no Sunday caraes on the homo grounds. This was mutually ac cepted by the other teams of the League. Manager Cushman decided yesteiday to protest the game, but changed his mind after weighing the matter carefully.

Umpire Gaffvev docs not favor the rule whl ch provides that a pitched ball which hits a batsman on the hand or lorcarm shall be called a dead ball, while one that hits the batsman on any other part of his person or merely touches his clothing shall entitle him to his base. A blow on the hand or forearm, Gaffncy says. Is more dangerous and lia ble to disable a player than one on any other part of the person except tbe head.

J 1 A WESTERN DEEMING; Career of a Marrying Man Supposed to Be the Australian Who WENT BY THE NAME OP WILLIAMS. He Wedded a Lot Angeles Woman Deserted Her as Soon as He and GOT POSSESSION OP HER LITTLE $2,000 rSTECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Los Angeles, April 17. From facts that have come to light within a few days, there is little doubt that the wife murderer,Deem ing, of Australia, spent a portion of 1887 in Los Angeles, married a widow here, and decamped with her savings, amounting to J2.000. From 1886, when Deeming absconded from Sydney, to 1888, when he was known in South 'Africa, there is no trace of the criminal's whereabouts. A Los Augeles lawyer who saw Deem ing's picture in a newspaper recently was struck with the great resemblance of the face to that of a man who went by the name of "Williams, and flourished " in Los Angeles five years ago. He found that Charles H. "Williams first came to Los Angeles with a real estate agent named Shooter, from San Francisco. "Williams was a good talker, and during the big boom he tried to get a loan from his friend to go into business, but failed. Williams then obtained the neces sary money from Mrs. Nanny Catithsing, a teacher of Sing Sing. Williams' Caroerin Los Angeles. "Williams, in January, 1888, married Mrs. Catithsinir, despite remonstrances made to that lady by several friends who had sized up the character ot the man. Shortly after the marriage Mrs. Catithsing gave her hus band authority to draw against $i,C03 she had on deposit in bank, her savings of years. Williams drew all the moneyaud decamped. He has not been Heard of since. Williams came Irom Australia. He would frequently tell of large sums lie bad made in the mines in Australia. He professed to have been a great sportinz man. There are many small points in common between Williams and the Australian murderer. Williams had a good voice and trequently went to singing parties. He was a handy man, with a smattering of mechanics and ensineerimr. Like Deeminir. Williams was n. Fiecmason. He was also a member of tho &r. George Society, and after ho left a with drawal card, fiom the Odd Fellows was found in his effects bearing the name of Mitchell. Like Deeming, Williams refused to have his picture taken. Mrs. Catithsing has no pictures ofhlin. It is only bv accident that a picture of tne man is in existence here. The Shooter fanillv went to a photograph gallery, and Williams was oneot the party. When a pi opoal to photograph tho group was mado he could not well avoid beimr taken with the rest, and he is shown in two different views, -which Shooter has in his possession, representing tho party crouped in front of the falls. . The California Man a Desperado. AVilliams, who has a revolver strapped around his waist, looks in his outing cos tume much of a desperado. In one of the views his face bears a striking resemblance to the published picture of the Australian murderer. Williams confided to Mrs. Catithsing that he had been married in Australia aud had a child. He i eferred In a brutal manner to his previous wife, telling how he had once leftr her sticking in a swamp up to her waist at a race track in Australia, and had made faces at her, and how, after her death, he had danced lor joy on her grave. Williams was a man who had great power over women, who weie attracted toward htin without any apparent teason. He was always talking about marrying somebody witn money, ana seokiog Introductions to w omen of means. Once, when a lawyer was telling how he had convicted a man in Iowa who mado a practice of marrying women for their money, and deserting them, Wil liams became strangely excited, and from his actions the attorney -then formed tho idea that Williams was a criminal with a dark past. Several persons who knew Williams have been struck with the resemblance of Deem ing, but Mrs. Catithsing professes to see no likeness. It is thought she does not like to admit the idea that she ever lived with such a monster. A cablegram from Melbourne, Victoria, says: "The members of the Medical Boa id, the appointment of which was conceded by tho Colonial Government, at the request of the counsel ot Deeniim. for the purpose of making an inquiry into Deeming's mental condition, express tbe opinion that the pris oner is shamming insanity."

Referring to the Pope's re cent encyclical, the pastoral says: "Some good Catholics were shocked to find His Holiness enjoining the faithful to accopt the Republic. The attitude of the Holy See solely implied respect for and deference to the powers that be. The Pope expressely declares that respect shall be observed only as long as required by the exigencies of tho Commonwealth. The duty ot submission ceases when tho right to command it ceases. All that the PoDe reauires is that the nennln shall not become rebels and conspirators, piepaieu 10 ensrage in insurrection. "It is the duty of Catholics topeak, write and act against laws that strike at tbe be liefs and interests of the faith. They will most effectively fulfill this duty by electing men who respect religion." In regard to education, the pastoral declares that relig ion has been suppressed and that practical atheisin.has taken its place, destroying faith and molality.

Mrs. Abbott No. 1 testified acalnst him. and he wasseutenced to four years in Sinjr Sing. While he was In prison the deceived girl committed suicide by drowning. When released Abbott expressed penitence and was forziven by his wife. A year later ho met Mrs. Mary Moulton, of New York, who procured a divorce from her husband to marry Abbott. When she learned that he was a bhramist she had him arrested. Again Mrs. Abbott testified asalnst her husband, and he was convicted. This time he was sentenced to five years in Sins Sing. "Mrs. Abbott for-iave him for the second time, and took him back when he was dis charged from prison. Her son advised her against it, but she persisted. They then moved to South Norwalk, Conn., where she procured work for her husband. Abbott worked steadily for seven months, and then married Mary Ann Bailey, with whom he lived for a short time. His deserted wire returned to Brooklyn. In a lew months Abbott followed her and was again forgiven. Soon arter this Abbott' joined tho Salvation Army and met Lena Paiks. Mrs. Abbott says he married Lena and Introduced her ns his wife among the Salvationists. Her hus band began to absent himself from home two months' ago. When he returned to her a week ago, alter marrying the Newark woman, he told ber ho had been visiting friends in Brooklyn. A C0EPSE OR THE COWCAXCHEB.

Bailey Was Forced to Walk tin Floor All Night Finally a Simpls Method Re stored Her to Health The Case Reported Prof. Phelps PIscovery. No class of society and no occupation Is exempt from a great Increase of sickness In the spring mouths. And this year, as a result of the terrible eDldemle of grip, finds people specially susceptible to the changing of the seasons. The blood Is impover ished and impure, the nerves are weakened and unstrung, and all tbe physical organs seem to be .on a strike." The general cry of the doctors In March Is "purify the blood." A remarkable case !s re ported by Hr. Vanden burgh In recent Issues of the medical Journals, and a simple but the most effect ive spring medicine Is rec ommended. This pure rem edy that cures the worst form of blood diseases Is one, the physicians say, that will most quickly and effectually restore the sys Jlrs. L. H. Bailey. tem to health, give strength to the muscles, and create normal action in the physical organs. Dr. Vandenburgh's report, omitting Its techni cal medical terms. Is as follows: "Mrs. L. S. Bailey, or West Potsdam, N. T., Is a woman who for the last 20 years has been afflicted with scrofula. At first small blotches broke out on her head, and In a short time her whole body was covered. She faithfully tried the best of medical skill, consulting some ten physicians, but none of them helped her. At night her whole body itched so that she was often forced to walk the floor nearly all night. "The various patent medicines, sncli as sarsa parillas, ointments, etc., that are advertised for the cure of this disease, were tested. Still further discouragement was the only result. "Acting upon the theory that blood diseases are caused by weakness or the nervous system. I pre scribed that standard nerve and brain food, Palne's celery compound. The result was almost miraculous, for the terrible disease that had so long resisted all treatment, yielded to this com pound, and Mrs. Bailey 13 now completely cured, with the exception of one spot on her arm, and that Is fast going away." Many things have been recommended to give strong muscles, pure blood, vigorous health, and firm nerves. But it required something more scientific, more advanced, than the ordinary nerv ines, sarsaparlllas, and cheap decoctions. A discovery was demanded. And a discovery was made by the eminent Prof. Phelps, of Dart mouth. Palne's celery compound was the result, and It is to-day the best "spring medicine" in the world. Insuring health, happiness, and long life. cbrfston the new steamer the 'Sunshine-" It will replace the old Courier in the l'it ts. bur;: and I'ark ersburg trade.
