Th9 Former Lays the Latter Oat on the Cold Ground. The young men of the Motive Power and the Maintenance of Way departments of the Pennsylvania railroad played a game base ball at the Altoona club's grounds yesterday that would have made the league clubs turn green with envy. The attendance was decidedly encouraging, but the grand stand and players' field comfortably seated everyone, except those engaged in carrying off the injured as the game progressed.

Some regret was expressed that the game was free, since a quarter a head for all who were there would have amounted to the value of several good sized accident policies. Everybody saw at a glance, however, that the crowd was not accustomed to the use of money, so plutocracy and democracy shared alike, free gratis and for nothing." The game was appointed for 3 o'clock, but it was 3.25 btfore Umpires Lindstrom and Corson could finally separate each set of combatants and start the game. This was done by driving the Maintenance of Way men, under Captain Neilson, to their respective place in the field and planting Whelan, of the Motive Power's at bat. Lander, pitcher, made the first error by trying to throw the to Fyler, catcher, but Whelan put his bat in the way and nearly reached first base before he saw O'Donnell, first baseman, fold the ball away in his hands. One out.

Herr then knocked a kite to Wallis, left field, who took it in as if he was accustomed to chasing swallows. Fay next came to the bat, but went about it cautiously, the result being a run, which was considered by the Motive Power enough to retire on that inning. This conclusion tickled the Maintenance of Way gang greatly, and wow! wow! wafted over the field from third base like a Comanche yell on a clear, frosty morning. Neilson took the bat and scored on a two bagger by Fyler. Down the list it went, until four runs were laid away for this inning.

Nothing more exciting than frequent kicks by everybody in hearing of the umpire happened until the ending of the third inning, when Shellenberger, running from second to third, was caught by Fay holding the ball. This served as a decided check for Shellenberger' body, but his nose went on until brought up squarely on Fay's cheek. This drewfirst blood for the Motive Powers, which was allowed, Shellenberger retiring and his place on second taken by Crick, while Jordan, substitute, filled centre field. The Maintenance of Ways kept the lead until the seventh inning, when Heer, Fay, Manlove and Davis knocked the ball all over the field and ran the score up to tie 9-9. Thing's didn't look so rosy for Neilson and his colts now.

Something had to be done, and it was not long in coming. Fyler went to bat and hit to third, but could not get to first quite quick enough, so retired. Hander got his Dase on passed ball, stole second; Wallis got first on balls and Buch brought both home by a beautiful two bagger. The Maintenance of Way men, however, finally came out victorious in the eighth. The game was scored by Mr.

Warfield in good shape. Kicks and errors were plentiful enough to satisfy even the hundred or so gallery gods, who are not slow to express their approval at each one. Following are the scores by individual plays and innings: M. P. TB PO A Whelan, 5 12 1 Heer, ss, 3b 5 2 1 2 R.

Meeting of the General Eyncd of the Reformed Church.

The general synod of the Reformed church in the United States, comprising representatives of the different classes of the church will convene in the First Reformed church at Lebanon, of which Rev. D. Earnest Klopp, D. is pastor, this evening, May 28, at 7.30 o'clock. The meeting this year will be of much interest to the members of the denomination, as the manuscript of a new hymn book will be presented for adoption or rejection.

At the general synod held at Tiffin, Ohio, in May, 1881, the draft of a new constitution was presented. This has been in the hands of a committee for revision, and said committee having about completed their work and the majority of the different classes voted in favor of its adoption, the synod will send it down to the churches as the law by which they will in future be governed. The synod will be opened with a sermon, to be preached by the retiring president, and immediately afterward the roll will be called and the synod organized by the election of officers. Our reporter will be present during the sessions of synod and we hope to lay before our readers an abstract of its daily proceedings. Let Them Be Arrested and Punished.

Three mail boxes in this city were broken open some time during Tuesday night and their contents abstracted. These boxes were located at Lexington avenue and Eighth street, Howard avenue and the Ninth street and Union avenue and Eighteenth street. In the latter box one letter was overlooked and left. Postmaster Patton in another column offers a rewaid of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who were guilty of the offense against the government, fceciion 3869 of the United States postal laws reads as follows: "Every person who willfully and maliciously injures, tears down, or destroys any letter box, pillar box, or any other receptacle established by the postmaster general for the safe deposit of matter for the mail or for delivery, or who willfully and maliciously assaults any letter carrier, when in uniform, while engaged on his route in the discharge of his duty as a mail carrier, and every person who' willfully aids or assists therein, shall, for every such offense, be punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars (100), and not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for not less than (1) year, or more than three (3) years." Held on Serious Charges. On Tuesday night last Officer Calderwood arrested an Italian named Jim Gobum, known as No.

20, for drunkenness and begging. Yesterday the man was rearrested by Constable Ereider, charging Mm with having attempted murder and also with larceny. He is charged with taking wearing apparel from several of his fellow boarders and also with attempting on Tuesday night to kill a boarder in the house at Ninth avenue and Seventh street by striking at him, while he was in bed, with a deadly weapon. The hearing took place last night before Alderman Rose and default of bail the accused was committed. He gave evidence in the lockup last evening of being mentally unsound.

The Carpenters' Union. The open meeting of carpenters' union No. 487, of this city, held in their hall last evening was well attended and a very lively interest was evinced in the cause the union espouses. The recording secretary, George Boate, was the speaker of the evening and he was followed by M. J.

Beezer. The applause attending the proceedings evidenced the fact that all that was said met with the approval of those attending. The growth of 487 during the past few months has been phenomenal, and, no doubt, in due time the union of this city will take its proper place among the trade unions of the day. A Brakeman Killed.
