Bt Teterrrt' to tie) PoaT-r UNi-vrrvi. Philadelphia, July 12. The Philadelphia and Cleveland teams played a very pretty game at Forepauvh Park to-day, which was won by the former by a score of 6 to 3. The weatber was threatening, which in a measure accounted for the light attendance. Sanders and Milligan were the battery for the home team, and they worked well together, though both made wild throws, which gave the visitors their three rnns.

From a battery point of view, however, they did great work, Sanders being exceedingly effective and Mllllgan's back-stopping beinu fine. Bakely pitched his second successive game, and under the circumstances did extraordinary work. The fielding was very sharp, nearly all the errors being made ou difficult chances. The work of ood and Griffin, Pickett, Farrar, Delehanty and McAieer was of the brilliant order. 'Ihe Phillies won the game by superior butting, they earning three of tbsir six runs.

It appears from Secretary Bobacnek's statement rbattbey have another grievance against the St. Louis management and that Is probably what is at the t-tom of the troable over Cartwrlgbt. President Von der Ahe has been too quick for them and has signed several other players whom they wanted. Tbe following from the Rochester Pott-Erprts gives the Koehester aide of the Cart, wright deal, and shows clearly that tbe animus of the complaint is their anger over tba especially were sulfereri. Harding's spurt in the ten-mile championship was phenomenal and fairly took the life out of his competitors.

Last week eighteen riders applied forL. A. W. membership from Missouri. With one possible exception this Is the largest list yet published.

George Wilder Is getting; deservedly popular among tbe boys for tbe Interest taken by him in L. A. W. affairs, lit is also giving the State Racing Committee a much-needed shaking up. A proposed ordinance in regard to the riding of bicycles in Syracuse permits the wheelmen to use the sidewalk outside of certain boundaries in the center of the city.

Bad streets are the reason for tbe concession. A deal of talk baa been going tbe rounds of how a party of wheelmen enjoyed themselves at Centralia and, the story of tbe rider dressed in a Mother Hubbard has been confirmed. At one time it looked as if the 1 own Marshal would interfere with the fun, but be changed bis mind. The German rubber pavement, of which mention hat been previously made, is composed of S5 per cent of ier und stone and 15 percent of rubber mass, which, after special treatment, is mixed with the stone powder. Ihe pavement material Is entirely even and when applied to thn street upon a foundation of concrete looks much like asphalt, although not quite as smooth.

Life at the clubs Is very quiet and the approaching dog days will not liven It up to any extent. All the roads are very dusty and rutty and the general need of rain was never more apparent. As soon a the reads regain their usual good shape severwl long runs are spoken of, among which Is one to tbe Missouri River, via the Olive street road, a distance of thirty-ei-ht miles. Walter Williams of Columbia, who officiated as toast master at the banquet, did much to make it the sncces it was by his wit and humor. His remarks were all to the point, and his allusion to i he man from Moberly who took the cars at Hallsvilie because he got tired of sweating, brought down the house.

In the parade the Cycling Club loomed up conspicuously and hud bv far tho most and best uniformed number of men in line. Tbe term "silent Hteed," as applied to the average bicycler is somewhat or a misnomer, says the Wheel. Except wheels newly made, the noisy rattle and metallic clamor generally of a bicycle, when ridden along a granite block or other uneven pavemer.t, is almost as great as that issuing from a warranted "non-vibrating" sewing machine. Bells, whistles or horns are needless auxiliaries to many a wheel in use to-dav, as their approach can be detected by the ear when baif a block away. Athletic Notes.

There are swimming and foot races this afternoon at Bodeman's Grove for poid medals. Entries can be made on the grounds. John C. Mevers and A. Met addon will wrestle next Tuesday evening fit the entertainment jfivt by the Children's Aid Society at Carondelet.

A childish story of a haunted bouse drew a gathering of from 8)0 to 1,000 excited men, women and children last night and the night before to the neighborhood of Fourteenth and Chambers streets. Officers Smith, Henry Moore and Michael O'Leary of the Fourth Police District were kept busy last night and tbe night before keeping the crowd back from the house.

The story was started in some unaccountable manner by some boys who reported throughout tbe neighborhood that a "ebost" was in the two-story lead-colored brick ouildlng at the northeast corner Fourteenth and Chambers streets. Hundreds came as early as 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon to see the reported immaterial being which was said to float around through the building, but they all went away ithout their curiosity being satisfied. The house in question Is occupied by August Volni, a tin roofer, and his wife, who have a store on tbe first floor and occupy three rooms on the second floor for welling purposes, while two front rooms on tbe same floor are occupied oy Geo. Giger and wife. For a week or so Mrs.

Volm has been quite ill, and it was reported that she imagined in lever tnat she saw fantastic shadows. iier husband mid Mr. Giger, however, say that during her sickness tliev bave never heard her talk of any sucb "thing, nor can they offer any explanation for the silly story. Yesterday Mrs. Voim was removed to the home of her sister on Twelfth and Warren streets, where her sister could give her letter attention.

Another feature which added no little to the story of spooks, was that for a couple of days past Mr. Volm lias closed np his store. But investigation last night revealed the fact that Mr. Volm was employed placlm; some machinery In a factory at Seventh and Mullauphy streets, and having no one to care for bis business during his absence closed up until ii can finish his work at Seventh and Muilanphy streets. Of tbe crowd which gathered around tbe place List night none conid be found who had seen a "spook" or anything that looked like one.

Tbe stamps will be Issned only to ouses dealing with the trust, and any person counterfeiting them will De promptly callvd to account. Like most trusts, tho ostensible object of tbls combination is the prevention of Land.

An immense number of cigars are now sold as Havanas. the tobacco in which certainly never came lrotn Cuba, and every good brand is imitated. "Imported" cigsrs are sold at less than tbe duty would have lieen bad they been of foreign make, and fraud is common. Tbe greatest trade In genuine Imported cigars is in the two-for-a-quat'ter br.tnds, the cheapest on which tin; smoker can relv. There Is little or no sale for the twenty -cent cignr but twenty-five and li.ty-cent brands both'find patronizers.

MULDOON'SI ESTIMATE OF STJLLIVAN AS A TIGHTER. rpahlihed Steriea of the Champion and Hii Trainer A. Sharp Criticism Local Whl Matters Athletic News and Notes Happenings of Interest in the Sporting Wo rid. 'HEX William Muldoon was IfVS in 'he city last ha told several good stories or Bruiser Sullivan which I occurred Curing the i time the wrestler was training John L. for his fight with Eilrala, but i he did not desire that they should be published at that time.

Now, however, since Sullivan and himself have had an 1 open rupture, and since Muldoon has stated his side of the case for pub lication, he will not object to a supplement to his card. SUIXrVAH BEFORE THE FIGHT. "When I went to look at Sullivan before I agreed to train him," said Muldoon, 'I never aw such a wreck In my life. He was simply a bloated Imbecile. The flesh had all fallen away from his arms and legs, bis neck was scarcely big enough for a 16 1,1 collar, and the tendons all stood out limp-like.

All the development about him was a paunch, which was enormous. Be was lying; In bed, and up near the top story of a New York hotel, under the influence of liquor and about as little like a champion of the world as anything you ever saw In your life. His lower limbs were not only wasted, but they were in some sort of a. dropsical condition, so that If you pressed your finger on thern, the indention would remain for hours. He was in debt for his board, and he hadn't a decent stitch of clothes.

1 was almost hopeless myself. I told his backers I would try him, but could promise nothing. Turnlne- to Sullivan, I said. 'Yon are a pretty fellow to be matched to light any body. If there are 100 men In this hotel now, ninety-five of them can whip you.

Ton never had a bard fight Is your life. Tou know that you have simply been lucky. Now, here you are, a hospital patient blowing about what you can do. I thought It best to be very tiff with him from tbe start. He mildly objected and said I was treating him a little hard.

He flnrlly agreed to quit liquor and go with me to my farm. 'Before you go, I said to him, "1 want to tell yon that your boast is that you can "do" anybody. Now, you can't and I want you to understand that right He assented to everything, but he was with me a week before 1 was certain I could do anything with him." THE BIG FIUOW DOWNID. "Was he vicioas or revengeful during training?" "Well, no, not with me. He knew I was not afraid of him.

But he got mad now and then, as I will tell you. I had been trying to impress on hiiu tbe need of wrestling. He thought it was all bosb. Kilrain was a good wrestler, I said, but be said he did not care about wrestling, he would look out for that. I resolved to get him out or that error.

One alternooa 1 took him to the padded room where we exercised and we put on the gloves. He bad not tbe slightest idea of my plan. We sparred for an opening, and I watched and waited. Suddenly he made a pass for me, I ducked unci avoided it, then caught hiiu. threw biui and fell On bim pfetty hard.

you may be sure. He groaned aud it winded bim badly. It was a severe shock. When be squared off again I could see there was blood In his eye. Ho was Kointr to bit me as hard as he could.

1 watched. Presently he feinted with one hand then made the most vicious upper cut I ever saw witli the other. He thought I rwould duck, as I bad done before, to avoid too feint lie made and that be would catch me. Hut I did not duck that time and he missed me. I closed quickly, got my arms around him, backbeeled him, and gave him such a fail he did not soon forxet.

He was furious. The fall had about knocked all the wind out of his body. When he got up he wheeled suddenly around, and he looked like a mad man. 'Come he said. 'Let us try that He seemed resolved to knock me through the Will.

Tbe two unexpected falls bad thoroughly riled him. Hut I fooled him again. I replied, 'that's fighting enough for this time. Go punch the bait. 'Ccme on, come be shouted.

'No, said 'Go ait the bag. "He looked at ma, saw I meant what I said and did it. When be cooled off a little, and I asked him If he thought better of wrestling. As smiled very nearly." IStTSIORrOFIHt FIGHT. "Was he'ever in danger of losing the fight with Kilrain?" "Vn.

nofitr. Ho wna In mifrnlfipont finnrli. loii. To see bim in the ring and as I saw him in the New York hotel were two very remarkable sights Indeed. The day and place were hotter than anything I ever experienced.

Most of us had wet towels around our heads, but tbe scorching sua did not weaken him in the least." "Uld Mitchell show much tact in handling Kilrain?" "I had Mitchell where I wanted him that day. He is very abusive and a great roaster, you know. He talks all the time. Before the fignt, I spoke to Idike Cleary, who seconded isullivan with me.tas'fnllows: IwIll attend to John and you lay for Mitchell. Do not let bim get tbe best of you bullragglng.

Give It to him as hard as you can the minute he opens his mouth and" never quit. Get him rattled and keep him that way. Those are always Mitchell's tactics and 1 thought Cleary couid beat him at the game. There is no man in the world more ready for tongue-lashing tban Mike. Weil, be sailed In.

If he -omitted to aay anything that was mean to Charley Mitchell, lean not remember It. The result was that Mltohell was so flustered he was no good. He kept on trying to follow Cleary In abuse and getting the worst of it all through. Once when he was assisting to carry Jake to his corner his head was turned to jaw Cleary and he almost slipped in kllraia's face. I tell job Mitchell was glad when that fight was over." eULLlVAN'g QUEER BASKING METHOD.

"How much did Sullivan clear out of the mill?" "He kept nothing long. After all the accounts were settled be hsd about $15,000, and he was carrying It around New Torn. I advised bim to put it in bank. He asked me to go with him. He had never deposited a cent in bis life, and he did not know how to go about It.

I went, and tbe money was put away. A couple of day afterwards I heard that he was around with a gang, and that he was displaying $1,000 bills. I wondered where be got tuein.

EAMSIY PITCHES A GRRAT GAME AGAINST THE SYRACUSE CLUB- The IYowns Wow Third la the Race The BTOlt lab Assigns and Goes 0t of Untitles Scores of the Minor tt Gaits Yesterday on the Ball Field. ESTEEDATTom Kamsey.the Browns' left bander, who was under suspension for misbehavior, was reinstated by the Board of Directors of tba St. Louis Browns and in tbe afternoon he occupied the box against the Syracuse team. Ramsey pitched a great game, ne broke tbestrike-ont record of tbe season, strik- out thirteen Syracuse sluggers distinguishing himself at the bat by making a single and two good and timely sacrifices.

Wells supported him behind the bit. catching a magnificent game. In fact, t'je whole St. Louis team played like the pennait winners, not an error being charged against them. Their batting was of tbe vicious kind, niue of tbe twelve runs they scored be'r-g earned.

Campau made a home run and a three-bagger and Cartwright made two three-base hits, one of which turned up at tlit bulletin board. The Browns played ball as though they had swallowed a horseradish factory. Kosemnn and Duffee changed positions, the former go ing to left and the latter to center. Tbe vis itors put up a corking good game of ball, their only error being a bad one bv Wright in right teld. Childs, the stocky little seoond baseman, not only played a good game in tbe field, tut he found the bail frequently, and stole five bases.

Such was the impression he created with the crowd that every time he came to the bat he was loudlyi cheered. The Brow ns are now In good shape to tackle the Athletics to-day. The score of the game Is as 10110 ws: ST. Loni. AH.lB.POA.I.

The price paid was $4D0. conditionally that Cartwright should not ask for a salary of over $-25 per month the remainder of the season. He accepted tne terms and desired one month's salary in advance. The Board of Director had accepted these terms and have all the details of the transaction in writing. There bas been some underhand work by Chris Von der Ahe of St.

Louis, who has not obtained any release, but merely advanced $409 to Cartwrieht at a salary of $300, tbe remainder of the season. I forwarded all tbe papers relating to the matter to President Phelps of the American Association, and he stated to me that we have a good claim on Cartwright and Instructed us to notify Von der Ahe that the Koehester Bass Hall Association holds the release of Cartwright, and his acceptance of our terms. The matter will be laid immediately before the Arbitration Committee of the association and an early decision is expected. We are anxious to cet other players, but it seems that everywhere when we negotiate with players, Von der Ahe heads ns off."

Discarding the Plow the Pick-A Rise in the Land Market. Py Telerrarih to the Poot-Dispatcit.

Cabthagb, July 12. If rain Is withheld for a few days longer, tbe dumaga to the corn crop will be Irreparable. This seems to be tbe settled belief of many whone years of experience have made them competent to judge of nearness of disaster to tbe farming country In gene-al. While many are looking distressed over the matter, vou will find hundreds and thousands who are full of cheer Decause they are not dependent upon a big corn crop to keep the wolf ot destruction from the door. These are the successful operators In the mining region, and allied to them are many of tbe farmers who have partially let go of the plow and are harvesting their newly found mineral crop, which will yield more than enough to satisfy all the mortgager which for years were a menace to them.

"Luxurious ease" is now th happy condition in which many find themselves, whereas growing corn in days gone by did not And them in more tban the bare necessaries of life. Ining, wblch used to be tbe occupation of a few here and there, Is n-w followed by thousands in Jasper County Instead of wild prairie farms and trackless timber land. One can see growing towns which are hives of industry, inrnishing proof that tbe energies of man when intelligently directed will overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties, and replace barrenness with fertility, raise monuments to man' ln-renunity, and plant settlements where men can dwell together and enrich themselves by utilizing the crude products of nature. This county will show a population of nearly 100,000 people, and the foundation of her wonderful developments of tbe past decade is the mineral deposit which Is now a necessity to the commerce of the world, and which Is not affected In quantity cither by sunshine or rain. The week just closed will be listed as one of prosperity to the miners generally and to those engaaed in speculating aud sellinic land; it will be known as one of the best in tne year st far.

Quietly the agents of syndicates are conducting their inquiries and much territory is included in recent purchases which is to be prospected. Land is still plentiful and can be obtained at farm prices, but the Indications are that "tiff" will soon note the condition of land market as it becomes more evident every week tbst it lr almost impossible to touch a tract of land that will not prove to be valuable for mining purposes in whatever part of tbe county it ma) be located. On a visit recently a new'ly prospected region which was hitherto regarded as altogether unlikely, was found to fce very rich in mineral. At from thirty feet down to ninety they took out of tbe abaft rock wbicli wae 60 to 75 per cent zinc ore, and the parties operating are preparing to put in heavy machinery for hoisting and crushing. The owners would not take to-day lilty times tha original cost ot the land.

This is not an exceptional case, but simply confirms tue statements made in regard to tbe extent of tha mineral belt In tbls county. Tbis week's output has been larger than last week, owing to the increased force which many have employed. Large quantities of mineral are now being held for better price9 which will soon be realized, as the smelting capacity is on the Increase, as Is alpo the demand for spelter. Alba mines arc in good working order, and the returns show that tha land in that region is sure to be equal to tba most sanguine of their early operators. Oronogo alining Co, Is being conducted in a most systematic manner, and all the companies are making heavy profits, which thev apply to Improvements una prospecting ground.

Xear Smithfleld a new prospect has been started which at a depth of thirty feet gives strong indications of heavy deposit. At Carl Junction the output continues encouraging and they will soon be In a number 0110 position. At tbe LehlKh camp they are looking better than ever, and the operators are sure of making it a splendid paying camp. Belleville is as rich as ever and the Standard Co. takes out Immense quantities on its diggings.

Galena, makes a good -report and the output is heavy. They have" many Investors In their camp whose means will enable tbera to improve in the method of running the diggings- Webb camp Is one ot tbe liveliest in the county and her returns are Interesting to all the operators and the Improvements made on the city and busines property shows the character of her people. Carterviile is still a twin sister to ebb -City and keeps pace in growth. Her mines rank among the first in the county and the eoiid Imnrovemeiui made are simply the result ot wealth realized at home. Joplin, the busiest burg lu the country, is able to substantiate her claims, and the richness of bur terrUory is attested by tbe value of the mineral disposed of.

Large blocks of new capital have found their way there, and tbe stability of her mines will prove still more attractive. The magnet mines are turning out heavy mineral, and encourage tbe operators to continue developing additional area. The Globe Mining Co. on their lease adjoining the above, are taking out Inrg bodies of mineral, and as they Increase tne depth make better showing still. New II mine, on Center Creek, Is down sixty-flva feet, and for thirty feet tbey have blasted ta solid rock full of zinc ore.

There are ten lota adjoining which will be worked as soon as machinery is on the ground. The Little Jersey 111 in is rich In mineral and is a sure producer, as tbey have reached the heavy vein ot mineral for whica the Plensant Valley land became so famous. The Linzee land is proving to be rich iudned, and It only needs tbe customary mining machinery to work It to full extent to place It on the top plane as an luvestment. 'Ihe Sanderson and Bailey lease is now being worked by experienced miners, and as they get deeDer It shows a rich yield. The mines on the Lamb land are Increasing In richness, and since the pumping machinery was put in position work In three additional shafts has been resumed.

In which has been found the body ot ore which gave to tho land auoh sudden notoriety. To-day A. it. Ellison, Manazer of the Western Union TeletrapU contracted wltU Kansas City capitalists, leasine to them bis residence lot, giving; tuein ninety days' option, at Mu. lie is to retain all Improvements.

Till Is a choice location, for which be paid $600 less tban two years sgo. This whole traet of land ts proving mora attractive to wide-awake investor tban any In Jasper County, and they are willing to pay big figures to get it. Tbera are several La item Investment companies represented her who are looking for good lands to buy, and an option on 600 acres adjoining mines in tue county was secured yesterdaj which they will doubtless take. Tbe continued developments being mads has Inclined railroads to give much attention ta this locality, and the inducements thev are giving wlil lurtuer stimulate our local opera tors.
