DOWNED THEM AGAIN.
The Lvcal Iirrocg Get Another Game From
tlie Tronh etotno Senators.
Local cranks will be highly pleased at the
fact that the Senators have been gotten
clear of this trip
with only one vic
tory on their ban
ner. They certainly
have been a both
ersome lot of fel
lows and have con
tested every inch
of ground during
their three con
tests. They were
beaten yesterday
again, bnt only af
ter one of the
toughest kind of
struggles. Matters
were so close and
uncertain, that the
whoops of victory could not be given until
the very last of the visitors had been
downed. There were many stages where a
good hit would have done lot ot damage to
the locals, but that timely hit was absent,
although the probability of its coming kept
the 1,300 spectators moving uneasily in
their seats.
The Mnrqnls Was All Right.
Marquis Markabus Baldwin returned
from British dominions, where he had been
invoking the aid of the fates, andhesteppvd
into the box yesterday to pitch looking the
pictures of vigor and confidence. Up to
yesterday the Marquis had been the most
unlucky Ditcher in the business, and it was
hoped that his Canadian tour would have
some talismanic effect on his fortune.
Whether or not the good influences had
been courted and wop by him, he did well
yeiterday. He pitched a fine game, al
though at one stage it looked as if he was
going to be the same unlucky Baldwin. That
wcsiuthe proverbial eighth inning. The
score was 3 to 1 in favor of the home team.
With one man out, Dowd made a single
and Hoy made another. Twitchell knocked
a fly, which Donovan caught Big Milli
gan lollowed and sent a grounder to Shu
gart, who tried to throw the runner out at
second and was too late. The bases were
now full, and a good single meant tieing
the score. Everybody said: "It's just
Baldwin's luck." But everybody was dis
appointed, as Berger, who was the next
batter, only knocked the ball between the
plate and the pitcher's box, and Baldwin
threw Dowd out at the plate. The support
given Baldwin was first class all round.
Itliller Had an Injured L-g.
Miller played under difficulties on ac
count of an injured leg, and he went to
right field in the eighth inning and retired
irom the game at the end ot the inning.
Manafee played right in the ninth, and re
tired one man.
Killen pitched admirably, and, having
had his attention called to the rules, he did
not overstep the lines of his position when
delivering the ball, except on one occasion.
Somehow or other Frank is not a favorite
here, and the cranks and fans gave strong
manifestations ot that fact. But he can
pitch ball, and he did it with a vengeance
yesterday. Timely hitting only defeated
Lis team.' He was presented with a splen
did diamond when he went to bat, but he
failed to make a hit in response.
AV. C "Wilson, ex-umpire ot the Southern
League, umpired the game and really did
very well. He is"an active and decisive
young man aud a veteran in the business
could not improved very much on his work.
There were a few little kirks at decisions,
ot course, but these little kicks characterize
almost every game that is played. At any
rate the umpiring did not cause the defeat
of the Senators yesterday.
Started to Score the Bans.
The third inning was reached before a run
was made and then the visitors cot the first
tally. They were first at bat and the run
was'made on really good ball playing. Af
ter two men were out Radford got his base
on balls and stole second. Then the "Little,
Old Man" pilfered third and was cheered,
lor his pluck. Dowd made a scratch single
and Radford scored.
In the second half the home players went
the visitors one better. Alter Blerbauer
was out Connie Mack got a fair whack at
the ball and banged it down the right line
lor three bags. Baldwin struck out and
things looked very squally indeed. Miller
was next up and thinking there was an easy
mark in a left handed batter like Donovan,
Killen gave Miller his base on balls amid
the jeers and hootings of the crowd. But
Patsy Donovan fooled Mr.;Killen by knock
ing the ball into right field for a single,
Mack scoring and Miller 'going to third.
Then Berger fumbled Parrell's grounder
and Miller scored.
In the sixth inning, after Farrell had
struck out, Kelly made a good single and
got to third on Becklcv s single to right
field. Shugart made a splendid sacrifice hit
to first base and Kelly got home with the
last run in the game. The score:

the laws on this subject broken. When tblswas
done the cases against them in the United Slates
Court were dismissed )esterday. The Coal Ex

AN Important meeting or coal men has been
called for next Monday. At that time steps will be
taken toward reducing the price of mining coaL
Tbe coal men claim tbat an unjust dlscrlmlnatloa
is made against them and they propose to have it
remedied. It is understood that the demand that
coal be loaded on the boats for 3 cents a bushel will
be made. They nowpayaii cents, while coal is
loaded at the same mines for 3 cents on everything
but boats. This move will be general among tbe
rlvermen and It is likely to lead to Important re
sults. Much complaint haa been made for some
time, bnt nothing was done to remedy the evil.
With the opening or the rail and winter trade, the
coalmen think a change should be made, and are
going to see that their demands are acceded to.
A TEULTBOTALQIFI.
How Italy's Beantlfnl Qaeen Rewarded
Her Faithful Governess.
A charming story is told in the current
number of the Bevue de FamtUe of the Queen
of Italy. Her favorite governess, when
she was a child, was Mile. Bosa Aberser,
who was a -girl of 22 when the 10-year-old
Princess of Savoy became her pupil. The
two became very much attached to each
other, for the "Viennese teacher's yoke was
easy, and her instruction was pleasantly
imparted.
The Princess at that time received a
small amount of pocket-money every month.
The governess noticed at one time that her
pupil had spent nothing of it for several
months, and, when asked what she intended
doing with it, gave an evasive answer. At
the end of the fourth month, however,
Princess Margaret of Savoy presented her
governess with a ring of her own hair, orna
mented with her initials in diamonds.

GENERAL SPORTING HEYTS OP THE DAT
.SPXCTAI, TELEGRAM TO T DtSPATCH.t
Springfield, Mass., An?. 17. Six of
the thirteen heats at the grand circuit meet
ing here to-day were in 2:20 or better. Four
trotters and pacers placing their records
lower than before, they set out to battle for
the supremacy at Hampden Park,
The
only thing to mar the plot of the racing
drama was the suspicious work of S. B.
Clark, the Philadelphia trainer, with Nellie
E, in the 2:27 class. A change of drivers
tpok place in the sixth heat, George Moore,
of Troy, Pa., was the one selected and under
his guidance Nellie B ended thecontest in
two more heats.
Bella Wilkes looked pretty snre of vic
tory in the early part of the struggle, es
pecially when she landed the first heat in
2:18. A break lost tbe Brooklyn mare
the second heat. Bnt she came home
strong in tbe third after a brisk run with
Eose Pilkins and Harry McNair. By send
ing her away when she'was not squarely on
her stride, the starter helped to defeat
Bella Wilkes, us the unsuccessful effort to
overhaul Harry McNair was too mnch for
her. When Nellie B. made a break near
the wire in the fifth heat Bose Pilkins cot
home first in 2:22, but it only gave her
third money. After Moore had driven
Nellie B. out the judgee took no action
against Clark and the latter stoutly asserts
that he intended to win.
Cbronos was a favorite at long odds for
the 2:19 pace, and when he stepped off a
heat in 2:10 no one would bet against him.
In the second heat Lady Sheridan rushed
awny in the lead and Chronos made a
tangled break in the effort to get near her
on the upper turn. Lucilla also went to
pieces and the stiff-legged mare was a dozen
lengths ahead of her in 2:131. Chronos had
a close call for the third heat, and alter a
hot battle down the stretch managed to get
his nose in front of Lady Sheridan in 2:16.
Before another heat cofold be called it was
dark and the race goes over till Thursday.

Garflald Park Again.
Chicago, Aug. 17. Another phase of the
complicated litigation growing out or tho
attempt or tho city to close up the Garfield
race track was decided in the Circuit Court
by Judge McConnell this afternoon. John
Murray, a bookmaker, and E. W. Webber, a
ticket seller, were before him on writs of
habeas corpus, having been arrested at the
Garfield track. The Court released Murray,
holding that the city or dlnance under which
he was arrested was void, because of non
publication. Webber, however, was refused
a release on the ground that Garfield track
was a place or amusement, and was being
op erated contrary to the law requiring such
places to have licenses.

AVALANCHES OF SHOW.
Danger During Monntaln Climbing That
May Result Fatally.
If the traveler should be unfortunate
enough, owing to an error of judgment, to
be caught in a snow avalanche, there is lit
tle else that he can do, says Mr. Dent in
the Pall MallSitdget, beyond striving to the
utmost, as be is carried down in the midst
of the seething mass of loose snow, to keep
on his face and keep his head np the slope.
There is usually but little chance of using
the ax in any way as an anchor. It has
happened more than once that a party has
been able by running to escape out of the
line of a descending avalanche. If there is
no chance of doing this, each man should
anchor himself to the best of his
power, stretching himself to his fnll
length with head up the slope. On
fairly soft snow with ax driven well in, he
may be able to withstand a small avalanche
that has not come irom far above him. If
on ice he has next to no chance, and must
trust to being carried to a safe place. This
winter snow contains so much air that a
party, even overwhelmed by enormous
masses, are able to breathe in perfect com
fort, and can usually extricate themselves
unless carried into a crevasse.
A more formidable avalanche tbat tfie
mountaineer meets has already been men
tioned, tbat is the form of snow avalanche
which consists of a stratum of snow loosely
adherent to hard neve or clear ice inclined
at a steep angle. Here the avalanche is
started by the party themselves, aud no
weight of falling snow has to be withstood.
The precarious foothold, and the impossi
bility of anchoring, constitute the difficulty.
Little or nothing can be done' to arrest the
progress; the whole mass of snow moves
with the traveler.
WAVES WITHOUT WINDl
Volcanic Eruptions at Sea That Are Very
Mnch to Be Feared.
Pearson's Weekly.!
Occasionally there appears a great wave
sweeping across the calm surface of the
ocean in the fairest weather, and when no
wind is blowing. There are few perils of
the sea more to be dreaded than such a wave.
Fortunately, they are very rare, yet ships
sometimes encounter them. Only a short
time ago the Etruria was met with a wave
of this kind, which rolled on her like a wall,
of water, and breaking against her side
swept the deck with Irresistible force, kill
ing one sailor and seriously iujuring others.
A smaller and less staunch vessel might
have been overwhelmed and sent to the
bottom by the blow. The cause of these
singular waves is believed to be some dis
turbance of a volcanic nature at the bottom
of the sex
Volcanoes exist in the ocean as well as on
land; in fact, nearly all the volcanoes known
are on or near the sea coast. It is easy to
see that an upheaval at the sea bottom may
start a billow at the surface of the water
when we remember that huge waves have
been sent clear across the Pacific Ocean to
San Francisco by volcanic shakings of the
earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not only three
times as extensive as that which is covered
only with air, but it possesses many of the
same great natural phenomena on a scale
that is perhaps proportionately vast, but of
whose existence we are made aware only by
such indications as the volcanic ocean waves
that ships occasionally encoanter.
