ARABFSJEBELS. A Belief that Gcoeral Wolscley Will Speedily Attack (lie Enemy and Overwhelifl Them. BATTLES BITS How the CIuIjs in tic Rival Associations Stand in the Championship Contests. THE PHILADELPHIA WINS AGAIN A Third Cam Snatched from the'Metropoli tan Base Bail News. The American Association championship is now virtually decided and there is scarcely a doubt hut that Cincinnati will be the first club to fly the pennant.

The poor success of the Athletic in Pittsburg last week lost about all the chances that remained for them to win first place. Cincinnati has only eighteen games to play to finish its full quota, and with its lead of six victories it is hardly possible for it to lose. The Athletic may iniprovo their position for second place during the next two weeks, but is now closely pressed by Louisville. The Athletic will finish up their series with the Allegheny this week, playing four games, and will then only have twelve games to play with Baltimore. The latter niuo has not beefi doing much playing and still proudly maintains its position at tho foot of the column.

The League clubs are now in the West, and before the Eastern clubs return homo thero may bo some changes in tho positions of tho leading contestants. Providence has a lead of three games, but Chicago is a close second and is playing good ball.

Boston is third and by no means out of tho race. Detroit and Cleveland are a tie for fourth place, with Buffalo only one game behind.

The release of Joe Straub by the Philadelphia Club at this late day of the season is much com mented upon by some of the strongest ad berents of the club.

"The plucky Dutchman," as Straub was called, becamo a great favorite this season, and his batting pulled the nine out of mauy a tight place. Ho is a good fielder and catcher, but his inability to throw was the cause of his release. Tho Philadelphia Club played eighteen games with League elubs during August, of which it won twelve. Dunlap would like to play iu this city next season, but the Clcvelaud Club intend to hold him under the five men rule if possible. The same is tho caso with a number of other promi nent League players who have otters from American Association clubs, and the League will have trouble in again enforcing this ob noxious rule.

On their last Eastern trip the Buffalo Club made $2,000. They traveled about 3,000 miles and won eight out of twelve championship games. It was on the exhibition contests, when twenty five cents admission was charged, that most of tho inouey was made. The Buftalo play the Philadelphia in this city on October A and 4.

Tho Anthracite wanted thorn to put Bohn in to pitch, who had not been playing during tho game. Tho Active refused to do this on tho ground that tho umpire had called thegaine and could notreverso his decision.

He stated that the only attorney known to him on behalf of the lottery company was Senator Sherman brother in law, Colonel Charles Moul ton, of Cincinnati. There was nothing for an attorney to attend to at present beforo the department, as there is practically no order pend ing against the company, which is ou the same looting now as it was under the last administra tion.

Burton Speaks of Their Achievements to an Audience of Seven Thousand. The concluding exereises of tho Bucks County Bi Centennial celebration were gone through yesterday at Doylestown before an audience of fully seven thousand people. The tacit understanding that the second day was to be the most successful of the three turned out to be incor rect, to the no small surprise and gratification of those who had in hand tho management of the festival. The affair has been the biggest one of the kind ever held in the county, and the pride of the inhabitants at the success of their undertaking is unlimited. Saturday was cer tainly the day of days for the farmers, and before 12 o'clock fully an acre of ground was covered by every species of vehicle.

When finally the whole thing was over expressions of regret were heard on all sides, except from the chronic boarders at tho hotels, who had, together with the strangers, put up with all sorts of inconveniences and crowding. A standing complaint that existed at one hotel was that in the hurry aud press of business watermelon had been served on hot plates. Notwithstanding this every ono seemed to survive. In the afternoon Dr. I.

S. Moyer presided, and, in a few short words, introduced J. A Burton, of Philadelphia, whose subject was Bucks County Abroad." In addition to the largo audience in the grounds thore were on the platform well known gentlemen, among whom were General W. W. H.

Davis, editor of the Doylestown Democrat; John A. Burton, Jesse a. 1 wining, tastburn Koedor, Charlos Hamil ton, Hon. Amos Briggs, A. S.

Paxson, Miss Eastburn and John N. Gilbert. Mr. Burton described Bucks county as a fruitful and generous mother, whose only care was to nourish her children. She has produced groat architects, famous engi neers and a host of celebrated military men, Raid the speaker.

Those who do not come under this last head aro engaged in the ranks of industry, in which they perform no mean part. From these havo come Oovernors of States, Judges and Justices of minor courts, who were known for their unsullied purity, The medical profession is indebted to Bucks for men who have loft their mark, both in this country and in Europe. NOT SITOESSFCL POLITICIANS. The immigrants from this countv who have chosen lands further west have developed agriculture in places unsettled and uncultivated. As a politician of the modern sort the son of Bucks county is not a success.

His obstacles to eminence in that direction are certain inborn sentiments, such as "Be true to your convictions," Honesty is the best policy," which, under the present system, read "Be true to the boss," Honesty is no policy." To these ho docs not take kindly, but imagines that people should choose their own rulers. He is not impressed by the sentiment, Oiwn your mouth and shut your eyes and see what the boss will give you." This latter gives him harmony pills, which are not pleasant, so he kick. He cannot properly cipher out false voting returns to any great extent and doesn know how to set up a division, while to pocket a wnrd is out of his province. Ho cannot understand the utterly exquisite machinations of the boss system, having read that all men aro born free. He doesn catch on to the modern construction of vote ns the boss directs." The politician comes too neur the colored man's description of a certain animal: "lie possum am a mighty largo hypocrite, but a powerful big eater."

After failing in everything and not being able to make a living, some men blossom out into lirst class bosses. He is not given to speculation. He is public spirited, but not a democrat.

Holcomb, of Newtown, repre senting the Bucks County Agricultural Society, spoke of tho necessity of tho co operation of the two sexes in tho work of the homesteads, which had been fully recognized by her society, who had shown it by sending tho speaker to address tho meeting. She did not believe in women adopting aesthetic pursuits in preference to the churning of buttor and the cultivation of vegetables. Those who preferred the former she styled mere butterflies, who ilitted from flower to flower and left no truces behind them when they finally departed. The history of tho mother and wife of Penn aro summed up in tho few words that they were good people, but lived elegantly and richly. But it was the mode of life of the poorer farmers and newly arrived immigrant which was the most interesting to the present inhabitant of Bucks county, and this had not been consigned to history.

She thought that woman was not merely meant to be the slavo of man, but a modeler and purifier of his household. No progress had been made during the last two hundred years if women had not learned to bo better wives and mothers than they were at the beginning of that period. An cssav on Our Quaker Ancestry" was then read by Miss Anna Kastburn, the writer. It rehearsed tho history of the growth of the doctrine of the Friends from Penn to the present time. Miss Fanny J.

Tho matrons wero allowed to dress in colors, whilo the "aids" wero rigidly confined to white.

The struggle that has been going on for almost threo months between capital and labor, and which seems to have centered in this city, has brought into prominence the leaders on both sides of the conflict. On the manufacturers' side it is money and brains; on the Amalgamated, brains and money. The latter association is now employing its thousands of capital accumulated during the past year of activity in the iron industry. At the head of the manufacturers' combination are two men, in whom the energies of the fight on their side centres Anthony F. Keating, president, and Joseph D.

Weeks, secretary. For the Amalgamated Association John Jarrett, president, and William Martin, secretary, stand as representatives. Anthony F. Keating, president of tho Western Iron Manufacturers' Association, which consists of a representation from every mill and furnace firm west of the Alleghenies, is a native of Pittsburg and a member of the firm of Zug proprietors of tho Sablo Iron and Nail Works. Mr.

Keating comes of humblo First ward parentage, received a common school education and was launched into tho business world when yet in his teens as a low salaried clerk to old John Dunlap, the tin and sheet iron manufacturer. After some years spent here he entered the office of Zug tho firm then consisting of Christopher Zug and his son Charles, as an assistant book keeper. The crash of the fall of '73 came and with it disastor for the Zugs. "Tony" Keating, as ho is known by all, displayed such abilities as a financier and business manager in unraveling the tangled atTair3 of the stranded firm that when the concern was reorganized by infusing into the old partnership the new blood of half a dozen young iron manufacturers, A. F.

Heating's abilities were recognized and ho becamo a partner. This was years ago. The iron boom aud activity following the panic prospered his firm, and for several years past ho has been tho recognized head of tho great interests involved in the Sablo works. He is about forty years of ago, is a tariff Democrat and hus been intimately associated for some years with municipal politics. THE ASSOCIATION'S SECRETARY.

Joseph D. Weeks, tho man upon whom devolve largely tho thinking aud working of tho Iron Association as its secretary and business manager, is a Massachusetts Yaukee, born at Lowell something like forty three years ago, While preparing for college tho war broke out and bo went South as an agent for tho Christian Commission, lietu ruing at its close he entered college at Middletown, and graduated in l.iS. In 1.S73 ho came to Pittsburg and took tho editorial chair on the American Manu facturer. Shortly after he resigned to accept a like position on tho Iron Age. It was then that he was elected secretary of the Iron Association of Pittsburg.

This organization was virtually dead in its shell. 1 he member ship was weak and inactive. Mr. Weeks worked up an interest in it; watched legislation bearing on the industry closely, until tOtduy he is un doubtedly the best posted man on the tariff in the country. Lvevy tarill nieasuro of hue years has received his personal attention at Washing ton, lie is tho author of numerous pamphlets on capital and labor, and in LS7H, just alter tho great railroad riots, wont to Luropc as a com missioner from Governor JInrtranft to study the labor question on that side of the water, lie has had charge of the Census Department of Wages and Statistics.

His oliice in this citv is the Mecca for iron and steel men from all parts of tho globe, and it is here the now widely known Iron Alanulacturers Association ot the West holds its sessions. Mr. Weeks was largely tho instigation of this combination of capital. Iu personal appearauco ho is of medium height, slightly inclined to corpulency and lias grav hair and chin whiskers. He talks rapidly and looks at tho visitor critically througn gold rimmed glasses meantime.

He is one of tho strongest Methodists in the State and contributes largely of hi3 wealth to its enterprises. THE LEADER OF THE IRON WORKERS.

He is by trade apuddler and stepped right ought of tho furnace glow into tho position he now occupies. At tho time of his elec tion as president of tho Amalgamated he was working night turn at tho Westorman Iron Works at Sharon.

He dresses plainly in black without any display ot jewelry, works day aud night lor six davs out of the seven, but never attends to business ou Sunday unless it cannot bo avoided. Una may be explained lrom the lact that Mr. Jarrett is and has been for a number of years a deacon in tho Congregational Church at Sharon, Ho uses neither tobacco nor liquors any shaiie. As a speaker ho is earnest and forcible and uses good language. An opponent of violent strike measures any term and au ad vocato of moral suasion ho has a wonderful in fluence on tho meu of tho Amalgamated Asso ciation.

Ho has traveled over every part of tho united States and portions ol Canada in his ollieial capacity, riding by night ami speaking and holding conferences by day. In private life ho is retiring to a surprising degreo, but his position has given inui little domestic enjoyment. His salary is not SH.OOO, as has been alleged, nor tho fourth of it by some hundreds. SECRETARY MARTIN. William Martin, Grand Secretary of tho Amal gamated Association, is a muck roller by occupation and a Scotchman by nationality, though tho mature portion of his life has been spout on this side tho Atlantic.

Tho Philadelphia nino gained their third consecutive victory, for the silver trophy, over the Metropolitan, of New York, yesterday, at Recreation Park, by a score of 4 to 1. The contest was one of brilliant fielding.

Only three errors were made, two by the homo nine and one by the visitors, but the homo nine led tho batting. Henderson occupied tho pitcher's bos for tho homo club and he was unusually effective against the visitors, Hankinson, who made a hit each time ho carao to tho bat, bong the only player who batted his delivery successfully. Lynch'pitched for the Mots" and didjhis best, but somehow the homo nine did pretty much as they pleased with his delivery, J. Manning and Lewis making two hits each and Corkhill making the best hit of the game by a long drive to right centre for three bases. Roilly, Into of Providence, made his first appearance behind tho bat on tho homo nino and did remarkably well.

Ho catches well and throws strongly and in one instance, whon ho threw Hankinson out at first, accurately. Ho made one great catch of a foul tip closo under the bat and at another time ho stopped a wild pitch and then threw the runner out on the homo plate. He niado one wild throw and had ono passed ball, which under tho circumstances were both excusable Between four and fivo thousand peoplo witnessed the game and tho greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout, TUB GAME. Captain Manning flippod the coin exactly on time, and the visitors winning tho toss sent tho home nine to tho bat. J.

Manning opened with a hot liner, which raised tho dust as it passed Hankinson. Little Latham followed with a hard ground hit, which Brady found too hot for him to hold, and Manning reached third and then scored on Lewis' fielded hit to Brady. McClellan's baso hit to centre field sent Latham in, but Moyuahan and Henderson gave easy chances, which woro accepted. Brady mailo a baso hit and Clapp reached first on T. Manning's error, but no runs wero scored in the Metropolitan's first inning.

After one was out in tho Philadelphia's third inning Latham sot the crowd cheering by hitting tho ball to the right field fence for two bases. Latham made third on Lewis' fielded hit to BraJy and scored on a passed ball. One was out in tho fifth inning when J. Manning mado a two base hit to centro field. Latham was the second out on a foul bound and then Maiming scored his second run on Lewis' safo hit past first base.

Brady made a great stop of tho hit, but it was simply impossible for him to recover in time to field tho ball to first baso. There was great excitement in tho Philadelphia's half of the sixth inning. Moyuahan, tho first at tho bat, was fielded out by Nelson. Henderson mado a baso hit. Corkhill was fielded out by Nelson, lieilly reached first baso on called balls and T.

Manning followed with a safo driver to left field, filling all the bases. J. Manning came to tho bat and hit a short fly ball to right lield, which Brady caught on tho side run, making ono of tho prettiest catches ever seen on the ground and receiving tho plaudits of tho large audience again and again. Tho "Mots" did not score until the seventh inning, when after one was out Hankinson made a safo hit, reached second on a passed ball and scored on Hansell's two baso hit to the centro field fenco, on which the latter was thrown out in attempting to make third baso. Corkhill mado a three base hit in tho eighth inning, after two men were out, but was left, while in the last two innings the visitors wore retired in the order they camo to the bat.
