PROVIDENCE NOW FIRST A Victory Over Syracuse Lands the Grays Next to the Pennant Buffalo Won From Scranton To ronto Defeated Wilkesbarre. YRACUSE slipped down hv to second place yesterday owing to a defeat by Providence. The Grays put up a superior game and hence are again in first place.

Rochester al won in an excellent exhibi. tion of the pa-stiine, while Buffalo augmented her record of winning t.tr i ii' i- ing Scranton again. It makes the seventh straight victory the Bisons have won and if what they have been doing is their regular gait to be maintained throughout the season all clubs will have to keep a wary eye on them. Let hope it is but a meteor-like flash which will soon fade away. Toronto was victorious over Wilkesbarre, shutting them out with no Rcores.

Dineen did the trick and put up a fine game. Toronto is crowding Rochester close and the Canadians are worrying a little. Eastern League 1896 Championship. Full bleached 5-8, linen napkins, better than any $1.50 one you can usually buy, for. SI.

During the session of court most of the farmers from Cattaraugus county aud Western New York generally, who had never been privileged to see the workings of a real weather factory, ran just to see how it was done, and since departure there has seemed to be little difference in the daily number of calls. The observer says he can understand it and knowB of no particular reason for the many calls except that most of these who come in want to know when it is going to rain. The weather man appreciates the need of rain, and acknowledges that the precipitation during the past month has been unusually light; still he insists that agriculturists should not complain, as everything is and has been as favorable as possible for a dry spell. The fact that the drought has not already done more carnage than is credited to it. is accounted for by the fact that the ground was so thoroughly saturated with the water from melting snow to begin with.

It is not denied, however, that manufacturers of mow ers and reapers are meeting with poor suc cess -in this nearby section of country, in making sales of machines this year. The grass and wheat crop promise to be light. The great prophet insists on replying to all inquiries about the weather conditions and prospects that it's all right as it is, and he is not going to exert himself to put an end to one of the finest spring seasons Rochester ever had. So he spends his time making comparative statements to prove his assertion, and promises tlat when the present state of affairs climatic shall have become monotonous, he wifl stir himself and give out some more weather news, which he says is impossible at present. There are no immediate prospects of anything more than possible local rains.

TO REDUCE THE DEBT. Secretary Whitford is Planning for the Y. M. C. A.

General Secretary A. II. Whitford is busy wdth two stenographers preparing for a short, vigorous and winning campaign or lifting the debt which now encumbers the Young Men's Christian Association, lie: says the canvass will not be a long drawn out affair, but will bristle with new ideas and financial schemes. Most of the work will be done in the week beginning June 1st, and by the closing hours of June 7th it is hoped that the present debt will be wiped out. A thorough and complete canvass of the city will be made under the general supervision of the committee of fifty, who will have associated wdth themselves a numbvr of other workers, makiug each member practically the chairman of a sub-committee on soliciting.

This will mean fifty different soliciting committees. They hope to do their work dn short order. Already very substantial encouragement has been given by prominent business men, pastors and the ladies of the different churches. Some good-sized subscriptions have been made also, but no names of donors will be given out until the beginning of the week of June 1st. Then the lists will be published day by day, and every effort made to run the number of names into a large figure.

The secretary believes he has a scheme, which he will present during the debt-rais ing week, which will greatly facilitate the work of the solicitors and augment the fund, but he declines to discuss its details at present. Keeping "mum" about it is part of the plan. The committee of fifty will meet next Thursday afternoon when new plans and methods will be discussed, and the work reduced as far as possible to a frictionless system. Bids Will be Opened. At the regular meeting of the executive board to-day bids will be opened for the Mt.

Inspectors of the board of health are in vestigating a complaint' made to the department recentlj by residents of Smith aliey to the effect that Joseph Schneider and wife, who also live on Smith alley, maintained a sort of feline infirmary by housing some fifteen or twenty cats, much to the disquiet aud discomfort of the neighbors. No report has yet been made by the inspectors.

At a meet in th Rochester Trades As sembly held last evening, it was decided to revoke a contract which had been made with Eugene I 'el tier for the publication of a monthly labor directory under the auspices of the assembly, for the reason that the work has not been done for some time past.

28 Columbia avenue. Knew He Put It in the Baby Carriage and Thinks so Even Yet. Because every possible precaution is taken by the railroads to prevent the loss of projerty carelessly left in one place or another by passengers, one woman is in possession to-day of a satchel which contained several pieces of jewelry and other valuables. A man and wife reached Rochester yesterday afternoon over the Central-Hudson road from Newark. As they were about to leave the depot it was discovered that a hand bag which was a part of their baggage was missing.

Reporting the loss to the depot master, word was at once telegraphed to Newark to look out for a bag answering the description of the missing one. At 9 o'clock last night the answer came that it had been found on a seat in the waiting room of the Newark depot and would be forwarded on the next train. It came and has been delivered to the owner. The bag contained a gold watch and several other pieces of jewelry belonging to the woman and a Masonic pin of the husband's, and their recovery has resulted in no little rejoicing in the household. But the strange part of the off iir is that the man insisted at the time tbat he missed the satehel that he left it in a baby carriage which was put in iha baggage car.

He was told that he should not have been so careless, considering the value of its contents, but now when it proves that it was not put in the carriage at all it is almost impossible to convine him that he is wrong. Assistant Depot Master Hoag-land smiled as he turned the recovered property over to its owner and remarked significantly to the reporter: "That's only one instance. 'There are They all know where they leave their lost articles, which aren't often found where we are told to look for Ihem." HIS FENCE DESTROYED. A Thomas Street Property Owner Doesn't Like Juvenile Base BalL Gustavus Wasnlak was a caller at police headquarters yesterday afternoon. Mr.

Was-niak lives at No. 3S Thomas street and claims to be a sufferer by the pranks of small boys. Ho says that he does not object to ball playing. In fact, he is perfectly willing that the Kochester team should keep on playing so long as they put up the right kind of a game, but the article of ball that he has been obliged to witness has been the kind that has torn his heart with grief. Mr.

Wasnlak says that there is a vacant lot adjoining his property and the owner of this has the misfortune of being liberal minded. He allows the boys to play base ball, foot-ball or any kind of ball they want to on that spot. Neither is he particular about the hours during which the sport Is cairied on. Like many other juvenile fanatics, the lads are often wild in their throwing and batting, and the ball occasionally soars over the fence that separates the two pieces of property. Then it Is that the game is temporarily stopped and each and every one of the players takes a particular delight in jumping over the fence and chasing after the sphere.

Mr. Wasniak says that large portions of the once strong fence are lying prone upon the ground. He says that he will stand it no longer and that the police must help him. LITTLE TRICK RIDERS. Novel Entertainment Given at the Ideal Hive Lodge Room3 Last Evening.

An interesting entertainment was given last evening at the Ideal Hive Lodge rooms. It consisted by what was called "a fancy trick bicycle entertainment," and those to take part in it were Minnie, Frankie and Willie Bradley. The performance given by the three was the finest seen by juvenile riders in this city for some time, and great credit is giveu the little riders for the skill in which they handled their wheels in the single, double and triple tricks. It is interesting to know that the three little Bradleys are related to Kaufmann, the greatest trick bicycle rider of the wori and from their exhibition last evening they showed that they share their uncle's instinct in becoming masters of fancy riding. Included in the entertainment was a recitation by Miss Anna Staley, and there was also a duet by members of the lodge.

The remainder of the evening was passed in a social way. City Property Committee. The city property committee of the common council met in the office of the city clerk at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to consider the matter of altering the patrol barn so as to accommodate both wagons and the requisite number of horses. Flans were submitted by Architect C. F.

Crandall, who with Chairman Pauckner of the committee were designated to receive and tabulate bids received on the work. The expense of the addition will be something over $1,000. The police committee was scheduled to meet at the same place at 4 o'clock, but owing to a lack of numbers the meeting wa3 not held. McKinley Their Choice.

INJURED MAN NO WORSE He Has Borne Up Well Under the Shock, and the Chances are About Even for Hi Recovery Is Mulraiden Insane? TTrfwnrd Mnlrainen. who is in custody on the charge of assault in the first degree, in shooting John Lennon in tne DacK iiu a 32-calibre Smith Wesson revolver, was brought into police court yesterday morn-in- to plead to the charge.

Contrary to expectations no plea was entered and an adjournment was taken until next Thursday. The defendaut was represented by Seward French of the firm of French Coon. Since he was locked up Mulrainen has exhibited no ereafr interest in what is go ing on, and still talks in a rambling fashion o' what occurred ednesday torenoon. His answers are given in a disjointed manner and two or three questions are required before anything intelligible can be gained from him. It is probable that his attorneys will ask for a medical examination as to his sanity.

Mulrainen had a long talk with his attorneys yesterday morning and at the end of this he, seemed considerably more nervous than at any time previous. lie has no relatives in the city and nobody has called on him at the station. John Lennon, the victim of the shooting, was in great pain last night, and his condition is regarded as critical. The bullet dn entering the man's body at the back struck one of the large nerves converging in the stomach. The result is that Lennon experiences the most intense pain in that portion of his body.

The bullet has not yet been found, as the physicians have not deemed it advisable to make any further search for it. The manner in which the assault was committed, and the strange actions of Lennon's assailant before and at the time of the shooting, lend color to the theory that the man was not in his right mind. He had apparently carefully planned the attack, and when the time came was ready for hds imaginary enemy. In speaking to a Democrat and (Chronicle reporter regarding the reason for the act, Lennon said that he had no intimation that Mulrainen had a grudge against him. "He was a mean man, though, and nobody liked him," said Lennon.

Mulrainen was at one time employed ou the sisters' farm out on the Chili road, and he knew when the malt wagon made its trips to the brewery. He was not accustomed to hang about the buildings at the Bartholomay brewery, and it now seems'that his meeting with Lennon that morning was not by chance. The gua used by Mulrainen was new and bright, f.nd had apparently been purchased only a few days before. By letters found in his possession it has been learned that the man's name is not Mulryan but Mulrainen. He had a number of them, one of which was directed to him at the York house.

He refuses to say much about himself and his attorneys have given him strict injunctions not to make nny statements to reporters. He insists, however, to everybody who speaks to him, that he canont remember anything that transpired after he and Lennon stopped at the corner of Brown and Tonawanda streets, and says he has no recollection of having shot anybody. TO HANG 15 SHOP WINDOWS. Union Barber Shops Will be Distinguished From the Non-Union. A meeting of the Journeymen Barbers Association was called for last evening, which was to have been held at the mayor's office.

Members of the association assembled at 8:30 o'clock, the hour named, but owing to a meeting of the Grand Army committee, which was held at the same place, the barbers could not hold their meeting. They waited for over an hour and then decided to postpone it until next Tuesday evening at the same hour and place. Since the last meeting of the association union cards have been secured. These will be hung over the cases of the union shops so that they may be distinguished by customers from non-union shops. The cards, in sizo about ten inches by ten inches, contain the seal of the International Journeymen Barbers' Union on them, also the seal of the local organization, while in the center is printed the eagle of the American Federation of Labor.

What more delighted the fans was that the loci! found the ball at just the proper time. Nearly every one of the players oa 60th teams seemed to be on his mettle, and th last two innings was a brilliant conclusion of an excellent exhibition of the national game. Gillon was in the box for the home teaa and received excellent support, lie nevet lost his head and his movements showed that he had a desire to assist his fellows when they were in a tight place. When th ball was hit in the inheld he was there wheft it dropped. In the last two lnnlngi he was completely invincible, and in th eighth he struck out McDonald with three balls.

Although eleven hits were made off his delivery, they were scattered, and he held his own throughout the game. ruber essayed to handle the ball for the visitors and he was hit freely. Shannon, Dooley and Bottenus having no difficulty in solving his delivery. He was very wild at times, and in the lirst half of the eighth he was replaced by Easton. The latter has wonderfully Improved since his last appearance here Sunday, May 2Gth.

He struck out two of Rochester's heaviest hitters. Shannon and Dooley, and the others went out on short infield plays. Dooley, Bottenus. Mulvey and Johnson fielded In great form. Shannon's error was a bad muff of Boyd's throw to cut oft Lynch at second in the first inning.

There were several changes in the positions of the Springtields. Shannon was pot on the bench and Gilbert went from first third. There he held his own in good shape and stopped several hard balls. Sweeney, recent acquisition and last year of Syracuse, played his first game with the ronies ia left field. Tenney was brought In from left and covered first bag in an acceptable manner.

There was considerable dissatisfaction with Umpire Kelly, whose decisions er decidedly against Springfield. Rochester drew a blank in th irs-t inning, although Bottenus and Shanac-a, the first two men up, made singles. Paly, who followed, knocked a pop-fly to ruber, who cut Shannon of at second. Beard retired the side on an easy one to Lynch. Ia their half the visitors scored one run.

Sweeney knocked a hot one between second and first, for which Shannon made a dive and made a one-handed stop of it. He threw the ball over Dooley's head, but the latter jumped la the air and caught It before Sweeney could reach the bag. Leahy rapped out a single but was caught while attempting to steal second. Lynch followed with another slnl and attempted to steal second. Boyd threw to Shannon to cut him off, but the latter made a muff of It and Lynch was safe.

Ha scored on Tenney's hit to left. The latter wa put out while attempting to steal second. Both sides drew blanks ia the second inning, but in the third the Blackbirds pounded out two earned runs. GIUou obtained flrrt on Lynch's fumble of his grounder and went to third on Bottenus's double. The latter in turn scored on Shannon's single.

Paly was equal to the occasion with a double, upon which Shannon attempted to aeore but who was thrown out at the plate. Beard was thrown out from Lynch to Tenuy. but Paly advanced to third and scored in Mul-vey's double. I oley flew out to McUouald and the run-getting was ended. The visitors scored oue run In the fourth on Gilbert's triple, who crossed the on McDonald's out.

In the fifth both aW1 Kor Rochester, after Paly wai thrown out. Beard made a single and Mol-vey drew four wide ones. Dooley then lineJ out a single upon which Beard caine home. For SpriiiKfield, Gruber made a clean aing'a to left. Sweeney flew out and Leahy and Lynch went to first on GUIou'a privilege-Tenney then lined out a single, upon which Gruber aud Leahy scored.
