Four Gainrsi End tin' Temple Cup
Series.
Now York. Oct. 9.—The Now Yorks |
have won the Temple cup and will re- I
ceive 65 per cont. or about $22,000 after
all expenses have been paid. The
champion Haltimores were never in the
game at the Polo grounds, and wore
badly thrashed. It was the New
York's fourth consecutive victory, and
11,000 persons went wild with delight.
Mr- kin pitched a magnificent game
from the start to finish and but for |
errors by Fuller and Davis the cham
pions would have been shut out.
Uawke began pitching for Baltimore
but after four innings, in which iie was
pounded hard, he gave way to Kid
Gleason, who was very easy to find.
In all, Ward's nun rolled up twenty
safe hits, Doyle, Van Haltren, Fuller
and Farrell leading in the slaughter.
Farrell caught superbly. Fuller ulso
played good ball, barring a bad error
in the first inning. In the sixth inning
Van Haltren and Jennings collided at
rfecond base; Van's nose was budlv
bruised and Jennings was cut over the
left eye. They had to give way to Mur
phy and Bonner, respectively, while
physicians dressed their wounds. The
Baltimores scored two runs in the first j
Inning on Kelley's base on balls. Ful- j
h-r's fumble of Keeler's grounder, i
Brouthers' out and McOraw's single. |
Burke scored a run for New York on ,
his base on balls, a steal, llawke's I
error and a wild pitch. In the third
the visitors got another run on Davis*
two errors, Brodh-'s out and Reitz'B ;
single. The New Yorks also made a |
run on hits by Meekin, Tlernan and
Doyle. After the champions had been |
blanked in the fourth, Ward's men !
lolled up three runs and took the lead. !
Van Haltren, Fuller, Farrell and
Meekin made singles. Burke sent a
long fly to Brodie, and Fuller and Far
(• 11 worked in a double steal. Gleason
took llawke's place in the fifth inning;
and the New Yorks clinched the game.
Davis got a base on balls, and took i
second on a wild pitch. He scored on '
Doyle's double, but Ward forced Doyle
at third. Van Haltren got four balls
and Fuller's single scored Ward. Van
came in on Farrell's hit, while both
Fuller and Farrell counted on Meekln's
buser to centre. In the sixth Doyle
made another run on his single and
steal, an error by McGraw and Ward's
out. The home team piled up five more ;
runs in the seventh. With one out.
Farrell singled and Meekin filed to j
Brodie. Burke made a telling hit,
sending Farrell to third and stealing !
second himself. Tlernan got a base on |
balls and Davis received another, fore- j
ing in Farrell. Doyle put a single in
centre, bringing In both Burke and I
Tlernan. Ward's hit scored Davis, and j
Doyle ran In. too, on McGraw's failure >
to stop Brodie's throw to third. In the j
fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings
the visitors were helpless before Mee- |
kin, and when the New Yorks had been [
retired In their half of the eighth, the |
game was called on account of dark
ness. The score stood 16 to 3.
Van Haltren was presented with a :
silver bat as the result of a voting con- j
test in a New York paper for the most
popular player in either the New York
or Brooklyn teams.
THIRTEEN WERE DROWNED.
Terrible Disaster in a Storm Near
St. Kilts.
New York, Oct. 9. —The following
dispatch has been received from St.
Kltts, under date of Oct. 1:
A terrible disaster occurred In the
harbor of Barreterre within a stone's
throw of the shore, by which thirteen
persons were drowned in the height of
the storm of Sept. 20. One of the
traders between St. Kitts and Nevis,
in which were twenty-two passengers
and crew, foundered.
Heroic efforts to rescue the strug
gling passengers were made in spite
of the furious wind and sea, and
those rescued from the ill fated craft,
as well as from oth r boats in dis
tress, exceed largely the number
drowned.
Those drowned lived in Nevis, with
one exception.
No Meddling with Betters.
Washington, Oct. 9. -The statement
that the letters of officials of the United
States cruiser Charleston had been
opened by the Japanese officials and
that all communications passing
through the malls are carefully scru
tinized, is denied at the legation. A
similar story was in circulation In Ran
Francisco six weeks ago when the
present minister passed through that
city, and was then authoritatively de
nied by him. There is a provision in
the new constitution of Japan which
expressly prevents any interference
with private letters. • x<ept in the most
extreme cases.

JOY AT NEW BEDFORD.
Spinners and >1 ill Owners Reach
an Agreement.
New Bedford, Mass., Oct. 9.—The
biggest strike that New Bedford ever
had Is practically ended. The strik<-
has lasted eight weeks, and during
that time much more suffering has
been endured by the idle operatives
than will be ever known. The mills
will start their machinery on Thurs
day morning and tlie operatives will
flock into the gates in n happy frame
of mind. During the past week they
have suffered from lack of food and
I warmth. The committee appointed by
tin- spinners on Friday last, consisting
' of Messrs. Ross, Rowan, Smith, Rob
| inson, Hancock, Perrin and Barnes,
met the mill treasurers at A. U.
! Pierce's oiiice on North Water street.
! The conference began at 3 o'clock ami
! lasted until 5:30. When the spinners'
; representatives came from the meet
ing the following was handed tlie re
porter for tlie United Press by Pres
ident Rowan, of the spinners' union:
! "The spinners, in conference with the
mill treasurers, mutually agreed that
the spinners of this city go back to
work on a reduction of 5 per cent, in
j wnges, with the understanding that j
i whatever final settlement is made at
Fall Itiver shall also apply here."
Immediately after the meeting of !
t lie two bodies the spinners proceeded
! to Spiners hall, where the conference 1
1 committee of the various labor organ
izations were in waiting to hear the !
result of the conference. The meeting
was immediately called to order by 1
Chairman Connolly. The proceedings
of the conference with the manufact
urers was gone over and after quite a
discussion the representatives of the !
various unions retired and discussed
the advisability of accepting the agree
ment. In a few moments the repre- j
sentatives reconvened and practical
ly agreed to go to work. The
spinners' committee agreed that if
tlie mill treasurers would net agree to
! take all the operatives back under the
agreement that they would not go in
themselves, but it is said there will be
no trouble on that score as this was
the understanding at the conference
. with the manufacturers,
j The operatives about town are feeling |
i very jubilant. It is learned that the
places of the operatives who have left
the city on account of strike w ill be j
kept for one week after the mills re-
sume operations. This was a condition
imposed on tlie mill treasurers by the ;
spinners' committee. Many operatives
; who have left the city will no doubt
take the opportunity to return. One of
the manufacturers was seen after the
! meeting and said that the agreement
j contained all the particulars of the con- ;
forence. He said the meeting was very i
harmonious und he spoke of the repre- i
sentatives of the spinners as smart
men. For his part, he said, he was
glad the matter was settled. He was
asked if the weavers were going to
work with the rest of the unions and
j he replied: "The weavers should have j
' less fault to find than any of the other j
j unions for they have been cut the least. 1
Their cut will amount to only about 1
I per cent, on an average."
"Will they he furnished with particu- j
lars. if they ask for them?" was asked.
"Why they have about all they want 1
i now," was the answer, and the mill
1 manager would say no more.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
I ON the wost coast of North 'America

in winter; in the interior of tho United
States and Europe, in summer.
THE winter of 1812 and 1813 was one
of the most severe ever known in- Rus
sia. a fact which partially explains the
terrors of the retreat from Moscow.
IN northern Europe Nordenskiuld
found fresh fallen snow impregnated
with a dust of carbon and iron, such as
could only have como from meteors.
IN 1771 an unprecedented drouth pre
vailed throughout India. Scarcely any
rain fell for a year, and hundreds of
thousands died of famine, whole dis
, tricts being depopulated.
? IN 1058 the winter in North Europe
was so cold that Charles X. of Sweden
crossed the Little Belt from Holstein
1 to Denmark with his whole army, in
cluding cavalry, artillery and baggage
train.
; IN 1887 and the following year a se
■ vcre drouth spread over North China.
The loss of life was appalling, it being
