ENGINEER FINDS CRIME.
Discovers n Mini Ilnnging in Travel
ing Way of n Mine.
Mt. Carmel, May 3. William Klsen
bnch, night engineer at the Belmore
colliery, while climbing from the In
side workings of tho mine to tho sur
face this morning, found his way
blocked by a man standing upright.
Addressing tho person and receiving
no response he discovered the man's
neck was in a noose, fastened to the
timber of the traveling way.
He cut the lifeless body down nnd
summoned a physician, who expressed
the opinion that the man's death had
been caused by other means than hang
ing. Coroner Laughlin, of Columbia coun
ty, believes that Frank Balauofskl,
whoso body was found hanging in a
traveling way of Bellmore mine, yes
terday, must has been poisoned nnd
then hung there by his murderers to
avert suspicion as it Is evident that
Ills death was not caused by strangu
lation or hanging. Tho coroner's jury
adjourned until Friday evening and
Chief of Police King Is still working up
the case.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.
Senntors Were Too Slow About It to
Sntlsfy Umpire Lynch.
Washington, May 3. It was a sore
band of rooters who left the grounds
after today's game. There were but
two hundred of them. Tho field was
very wet and tho cold weather threat
ened rain, which finally came but not
before Umpire Lynch had rightfully
forfeited tho game to New York.
IMercer, who Is considered weak In
the wet, was pounded for seven runs
In the second Inning. When It become
aparent that the Giants had a good
lead, the Senators endeavored to pro
long the game so that the rain would
become so heavy that five Inlngs could
not be finished. This was done In such
a clumsy manner that Umpire Lynch
forfeited the game. The game was
terminated with only two men out In
the last inning. The score:

PITCHER WHITE IN TROUBLE.

Lancaster, Pa., May 3. George F.
White, formerly of tho Philadelphia
and Athletic clubs, who, after agree
ing to pitch for the Lancaster team
signed a contract with the St, Louis
team of the National league, acepted
advance money from Von der Ahe, and
tho dispute of whose case was decided
by the national arbitration board In
favor of Lancaster, has written to
tho local club otllclals declining to
play here. President Hensel has writ
ten to President Young asking him to
enforco the rules In the case ot White
who will thus be debarred from play
ing with any club under tho protec
tion of the National agreement.

Walters' injured knee is more serious
than was at first supposed. He cannot
leave his bed on nccount of It and It will
at leabt be several weeks before he Is able
to play.
"Thero nro so many broken wings In
the New York apgregatlon that It reminds
you of a live bird shoot when the pigeons
fall beyond bounds," remarked Earl
Wugner.
The batsman who has such a drend of
the ball ns to shrink from the plate will
never develop Into a reliablo hitter,
though It Is hard to convlco him ot this
palpable fact.
Clarko Qrltnth, tho natty little twirling
Colt, Is named as tho Herr Most In the
alleged revolt over which a St. Louis
newspaper has made so much ado. Grif
fith has not yet Blgned with tho Colts.
Andrew Prcedman bos as high a regard
for a dollar a an average pitcher has for
his wing. It was Andy who Inspired tho
expression. "Money to burn." He nr
seasod Phil Wagner 50 cents tn enter the
Polo grounds, though Phil was employed
to keep tab on ono of tho gates.
Last winter the Giants could have se
cured Dick Cooley, but Scrappy was near
sighted to tho deal, as Dick was in any
thing but good form last season, Thus
far, however, Cooley bus played fast ball
fdr the Phillies, and his release could not
be purchased at any prlco within reason,
Dick Blown, of Scranton, has been re
leased to Toronto. Ho is a valuable man.
What Scranton wanted to loae him for Is
not clear. Syraciwo Standard, Scranton
wns willing to lose him becnuso his head
will always ratio hob with him, no matter
If his arm Is tho best In tho business. Sir
Illchard has tacks.
President Young Interprets the earned
run rulo about like this; "Score cutnc-1
runs ns you always have. The rules
don't count. Of course, you have to
obey tho rules, but then I Interpret theni
for you, and when the rules are non
sense the only way out Is to Interpret
sense Into them." AH of which Is qutto
true. Ex.
Tho cause of the trouble that kept Ruslo
out of the game for 18 month was two
fines of $100 each, Imposed on tho player
during tho season of ISM. The. first lino
was Inflicted on a charge ot dissipation
nt Baltimore wi llo tho New York team
was playing In that city, and tho second
lino was ln-posed for alleged Indlfterenco
on tho p&rt of tho player during a gamo
at the Polo grounds. Ho refused to Hand
for them, and as he Is financially well
fixed It was not a matter of bread and
butter with him whether he played ball
or not.
Today, tomorrow and Wednesday Roch
ester will play Scranton, which promises
to bo one of tho most formidable trams In
tho circuit this seascn. Syracuse dropped
three stralsht to this aggregation, but It
will bo strange If Rochester does not do
at least as well as In Wllkes-Barre. Tho
best of tho Scranton talent this season
Is drawn from Rochester teams of former
years. Olllo Beard, Jim Daly, Ficnk
Boyd, Jack O'Brien, George Harper nnd
Tommy Glllon are some of them, and
"Sandy" Grlflln, tho manager. Is an old
Rochester player. Rochester Herald.
That previous Spider with tho Billings
gate parts of speech, Jesse Burkctt, was
ordered to exit from tho field by Umpire
Sandy McDermott In one of tho Louis
ville games. Burkctt probably thought ho
wns up ngalnst another dough-cruwed
quitter, such ns poo'r Little Wcldman.
But Sandy, who has a strain of scrappy
Kerry blood, will take no slack conversa
tion from any of the blue-tongued ex
horters Tcbeau, Joyce, O'Connor, or tho
rest. McDermott Is one of tho pluckiest
propositions that bundles tho Indicator,
nnd ho ought to prove one of President
Young's most valuable umpires.
PICTURES ARE PERFECT.
Dan Stuart Has Sent the Klnctoscopc
Films of the Big Fight to Congress
to Dc Copyrighted.
New York, Mny 3. The sporting pub
lie will be glad to learn that the klnet
oscope pictures of the Fltzslmmons
Corbett light are nearly ready to be
put upon exhibition. Dan Stuart hm
a force of experts at work making t'.'.e
films night and day.
Each reproduction of tho battle takes
up 10,000 feet of 111m.
The plant where Stuart Is making
the ill ins Is capable of turning 'Ut
5,000 feet per day. It can thus be seen
that It takes two days to turn out on?
leproductlon of the battle. Before It
can be put on public exhibition five
copies must be made for copyright pur
poses. Two of these, or 20,000 feet
of film, have been finished nnd early
this week were sent to the library of
cor.gres to be copyrighted.
The entire force at the plant Is now
concentrating Its entire attention upon
tin ring out the other CO.000 feet, wuieh
will be sent abroad to be copyrighted.
As soon as this la finished the 10,000
feet which will bo used to reproduce
th battle at the Academy of Music In
this city will be made. Then after
months of weary waiting the thou
sands of people who were not able to
go Carson City to see tho champions
light will be able to enjoy the contest
right In the heart of the metropolis of
the country. In the meantime Stuart's
employes will continue to grind out the
film at the rate of 5,000 feet per day
and ship It to the four quarters of the
globe for exhibition purposes.
In speaking of they pictures to nn
Evening Journal representative Mr.
Stuart said: "This talk about tho pic
tures being failures Is entirely the In
vention of rival companies. Tho Bio
graph and Innumerable other 'graph'
and 'scope' companies have been after
me continually with bids to make some
of the films. As I know that tho proc
ess we have for making and develop
ing them Is far superior to any other
method, I naturally will not entertain
such propositions. This caused our
disappointed rivals to try to Injure us
as much as possible.
"The New York people will be given
the first chance to see the pictures, and
It will be but a short time now' when
they will be ready to be placed upon
exhibition."

FRESH BOXING GOSSIP.
Sbarkcy, the Sailor Champion, Makes a
Broad Claim-How Muldoon
Sees a Fluke.
At a recent boxing entertainment In
New York city Tom Sharkey, the sailor
champion, was Invited to enter the
ring and show himself to the specta
tors. Sharkey "obliged," and also vol
unteered a short speech as follows:
"Gentlemen, I am here to. meet Mr.
Maher, which I consider, Is the next
best man In the world."
Then Mr. Sharkey bowed and retired
with a satisfactory smile on his face.
Peter Mnher sat In a box near the
ring, and he was asked what Sharkey
meant by the "next best man In the
world."
"Oh," said Peter, "he means that I
nm the next best man to Fltzslm
mons." This was a rational explanation, but
the extremely lofty manner of tho
sailor left the matter In doubt, nnd he
was appealed to for a solution of the
problem. In reply to a direct query lie
said:
"Why, I meant that Mnher was the
next best man to bo! I'm the best man
In the world? Didn't I have a draw
with Corbctt and got tho decision over
Fltzslmmons? None of them have de
feated me."
And the "best man In the world"
looked about with an expression which
seemed to say: "Who can deny It?"
Sharkey may be nil that he claims,
but the followers of tho squared circle
events are almost unanimous In the
opinion that when the Maher-Sharkey
bout .has ended tho most thoroghly
trounced sailor In America will climb
throgh the ropes. There Is no question
that Mnher'fe hitting ability Is not ex
ceeded by that of any pugilist In Amer
lcca, and Sharkey's Impulsive tactics
will be particularly agreeable to the
Irish champion. It can be depended on
that the bout will not be allowed to
drift Into a wrestling match, and
Sharkey will not get a decision of foul
unless he Is entitled to It.
William Muldoon, referee of the
Fifth Avenue Athletic club, handles In
sincere boxers without gloves. The In
stant that, In his opinion, the con
testants are not putting forth their
Jiest efforts he stops the bout and pub
licly accuses tho men of "faking."
He branded . a recent bout between
Willie John nnd Sam Bolen as a "fake."
and on another occasion he stopped
the Dobbs-IIagerstrom bout In the
second round, declared It "no contest"
and stated that the boxers were at
tempting to fool tho public. The fake
was go well executed that the specta
tors were deceived, but Muldoon was
not. It was afterward learned that
Hngerstrom and Dobbs trained to
gether, and acted ns seconds for each
other. Some referees hesitate to stop
n bout for fear of displeasing the spec
tators, but If more of Muldoon's firm
ness was shown fakes would be fewer,
Becent deaths In the ring seem to In
dicate that club physicians are not
doing their duty. It Is not at nil un
likely that the club at Athens, Pa.,
where Vernon met his death, had no
physician, nnd this serves as further
warning ngalnst permitting any club
to hold bouts without a thorough med
ical examination of contestants.
