PHILADELPHIA April Athletics won to-days game from the Philadelpoia team out-batting and fint-fielding them The score stood: Athletics 6 Philadelphia 4 The St Louis Repeblican of yesterday morning had the following in its Wee Ball column: The Chicago ball club arrived yesterday morning from Memphis twelve hours earlier than they were expected It is to be hoped this is the only surprise they have in store for us during the present trip They registered at the Lindell in sauntered about the rotunda during the day with an air of confidence which was fairly chilling to those who canto forward tol tender sympathy for the losses the club had sustained in the pertains of -Kelly Gore and McCormick In the afternoon they all went out to see the game between the Indianapolis and the Browns and whea they returned to the hotel the aforesaid look of confidence had assumed gigantic proportions and they tnoved about as contented as if they already had victory perched upon their bats The fact is clear that Chicago is far from abashed by the loss of the great Kelly and the famous (lore and that all the newspaper talk about their being weakened has little effect upon them On the contrary the men are in rousing spirits and if they do not play fine ball it will not be because of a lack of confidence There were just fifteen names on the Clarkson Flint Pfeifer Willianraon Burns Ryan Sullivan Sunday Hardie Flynn Daly Darling Baldwin and Pyle This is the entire team and is the club which will represent Chicago in the League the coming season "What do you think your chances are In the games with the Browns?" Capt Anson was asked "I think we will win" he said quietly "Do you consider the Browns weaker than they were last fall?" "No but I know we are now In good which was not the case last fall Then we had but one pitcher and one catcher and our third baseman bad a finger out of joint Now we have fifteen men in good training and not a man hag a sore finger" "You are well pleased with your new men?" "Yes indeed they have shown up finely We have seldom made a mistake in select lug new material" "What will be your battery to-morrow?" "I have not decided as yet Clarkson will probably pitch and either Flint or Daly will catch" "You will play Bores on third base this season?" "Yes our Infield will be the same as last year and we will have Ryan Sunday and Sullivan in the outfield" "Will kir Spalding be here?" "No he will not attend any of the games during the series I think we will go it alone Although I see one Of your local papers says a large delegalion is coming over from Chicago I believe that is a mite takel Ryan is the most enthusiastic and most parlotic member of the Chicagoans "What are you going to to with us?" he was asked last night "Well we're goite to knock yer eye out" he said almost fiercely "How often?" "Every "What six straight games?" "Well we'll take two out of three here and then get all three of the other games" Ryan had a good word to say about all the new players of the "That man Sullivan is a lailah" he said "He can go la any time and catch a pretty game and is a good pitcher and as to batting! Well just wait and see" The game of yesterday afternoon wius called at the end of the third inning the score (standing 3 to 0 in favor of the home team The (shortness of the game deprived It of any (special features Furd the unknown and untried pitcher was in the b45x for Nashville and allowedonly one hit Mannion did very well behind the bat and in the third inning distinguished himself by kuocking a long throe-bagger to center field footle The rest of the team did finely their fielding work being free from errors Larry Corcoran made his first appearance playing short He was enthusiastically welcomed by the audience There is no doubt but that Nashville has secured a great player in Corcoran He will be a great man to train the present promising team Mathias was suffering from a slight attack of rheumatism and could not play as had been announced MotTet however held down second bag in fine style Maul took his stand in right and caught a couple of flies He is a big fine looking fellow and made a decidedly favorable impression The visitors are a nice looking body of ball players anti gave decided evidence that they can interest their local opponents Webber was in the box for them anti pitched excellently Snyder behind the bat proved a first-rate catcher His throwing to second was very fine The team throw and run bases well There was general disappointment that the game was terminated by rain Rain checks were issued however and the same teanns will meet again this afternoon As will be seen below the Chicagos in a finely contested game won yesterday the first of the series for the World's championship from the St Louis Browns This victory is very significanWas it gives tp the great Chicago team decided prestige in the championship contest of the National League They at once loom up as most formidable obstacles in the path of the De-trolls New Yorks Bostons and others who had thought that in the loss of Kelley Gore Dalrymple and probably McCormick the vIctors of many seasons had at last gone under Look out however for Anson and his babies once (Mire The team knows how to play bill for all it is worth and by doing this are often more than equals for teams which are really stronger Ramsey has come forward even under the new rules as the greatest strike-out pitcher in the country Ho won this reputation last season under the old rules and has already made a fine start under the DOW Ramsey will be known over the country as the King Pitcher before the season is nearly over Detroit and Memphis played yesterday against Detroit and came verx

finally went to Europe where Kissane visited all the leading cities ANOTHER STORY BY BOR'MN CLRYELAND April 7--Sidney Burton the Cleveland man who followed Kis sane for years and spent 59000 in the endeavor to bring him to justice kept a complete record of all his movements His life was hazarded almost momentarily and one of his most formidable foes was a woman the wife bf Capt Cummings who corn- 4 minded the Martha Washington the boat that Kluane and his fellow conspirators burned on the Missiosippt The Captain owned an intereet in the boat and the efforts of Mr Burton to prevent the payment of what he knew to be fraudulent insurance claims greatly infuriated the woman who was of the most demperate character Mr Burton in his own writing tells of his first encolinter with her in the following manner: "All other interviews having failed to win me over they (the conspirators) invited me to Cummings' room at the Walnut Street House Cincinnati probably to make me a final and more liberal proposal I went and Cummings commenced entreating me to stand by him with the assurance that everything should be right when Mrs Cummings stepped into the room Her appear- ance attracted my attention See was A DASHING WOMAN with a compact figure handsome facet lik black hair and jet eyes that flashed like coals of fire She said not a word but comes menced pacing up and down the room with a nervous step occasionally glancing at me with a strange vindictive expremion She remidded me of a tigress walking up and down in a cage I watched her cloeely what she would say or do when she remarked in a short eharp voice: 'I can hit a quarter of a dollar across this room every time A circumstance which I am about to relate induced mete believe that she might whip outs pistol and shoot me On the spot I thought in view of the case that discretion was the better part of valor and not wiehing to TOTBi8B a target for the pistol practice of aa infuriated woman I hastily excused myself on the plea of another engagement The circumstance to which I allude and from which I bad previously gained some idea of Mrs Cummings' character is as follows: She was a sister of the Chaplin residing in Cincinnati when she became acquainted with and formed an attachment for Cummings who promised to marry her This was sometime before the Mexican war Cummings bow-ever did not see fit to keep his word and during the war went to literflco with Rufus and Adam Chapin and Kimball where they kept a gambling shop on the Rio Grande They were getting along in a flourishing way when they were startled by a strange and who'll ftiNXIPBCTEDORRIVAL 4 It seems that Mrs Cummings (then Miss Chapin) feeling her dignity wounded by what she supposed to be the desertion of the Captain determined to vindicate the wrongs of her sex and compel the faithless lover to fulfill his pledge She set about doing this in a curious fashion The indignant girl dressed herself in a complete ma of pistols and aning4 sittarrmteded whiethrsealfbravthe heart on her distant journey She found her way without detectiort to the Rio GI ande and hunted up the location selected by Cummings and the company On the day of her arrival the unsuspecting Cum-wings was dealing faro in the shop when in came the affianced lady She Jerked out a pistol pointed it at Cummings' head and limoaddressed him fiery: 'Capt Cummings i you can either marry me or take this ill your heart' In the midst of the Captain's consternatiort he found breath enough to say: 'why AUK my dear is that you? Be very sensibly determined to marry her and the ceremony was performed by a priest the same day It was a knowledge of this history that induced me to take a rather hasty leave of Capt Cumming's apartments" Subsequently Mr Burton In his pnrsult of the criminals found Capt Cummings in a IL gambling den in New Orleans On this occasion Mrs Cummings who was with her husband attacked Mr Burton with a gun and a but a friend arrived at the scene in 'lid to save his life STATEMENT OF A FRIEND THAT REID LETTER A large audience should see the game of this afternoon Nashville will have in her heaviest batters and there will be some fireworks let off during the contest Game called at 3 o'clock sharp WAsiirtaTroN April 7--The Cabinet niet Rt 11 o'clock to-day in accordance with the plan for the summer monthaand remained in session over three boon The meeting devoted altnoat entirely to the consideration of international questions the most important relating to the Canadian fisheries the policy of Great Britain in regard to the island of Hayti and the seal fisheries of Alaska ID regard to the fisheries question It is understood that inforniation has been received to the effect that Englauil sustains the position taken by the Canadian authorities and is no wise disposed to make the concessions requested by this Government This question was considered by the Cabinet with a view to the advisability of suitable action by the President under the provisions of the retaliatory act The alleged demand of Great Britain for the possession of the Tortugas Islands or the payment by the Haytian Government of $1000000 in settlement of old 'claims was considered at some length The United States have great interests in Hayti commercial and otherwise and are deeply concerned in its welfare and prosperity A correspondence will be opened with Great Britain on this subject The Alaska seal fisheries were discussed with a view to their better protection from foreign interference It is represented that the interests are now threatened by the wanton and wholesale altufghter of seals in the open ocean It seems that during the day the female seals leave their young on the shores of the islands in charge of the males whilt they go miles away in search of food with which they return at night Recently a practice has sprung up of catching the female seals while they are in search of food Their young perish as a matter of course and the perpetuation of the animals is endangered The difficulty of controlling this matter arises from the alleged want of jurisdiction of our Government over those watens beyond the three-mile limit The question will be again considered at a future meeting PENSION DECISION A dlerence of opinion and of practice has for some time existed between the Pension Office and the office Of the Third Auditor of the Treasnr) as to when the payment of an accrued pension actually becomes consummated The question was referred to the Second Comptroller for final decision and he has given his conclusions thereon as follows: 1 Where the pension has become due and payable in the life time of the pensioner and he has executed the usual voucher acknowledging receipt of payment and transmitted the same to the Pen-'ion Office but does before the agent has executed and mailed 'to him a check for its payment it is clear it has been in law no payment of the accrued pension but the same still remains outstanding and must be disposed of in accordance with the provision of Section 4718 a Where the voucher has been executed and delivered to the agent and the check has been transmitted to received by the pensioner in his life time payment has become complete and the subsequent death of the pensioner either before or after indorsieg the check will not defeat such payment The check has become his property in his life time and falls into and becomes a part of his eetate to be disposed of in due course of administration 8 Where the voucher has been executed by the pensioner and delivered to the agent and the check has been mailed to the pen-Monet in his life time but was not received by him I do not think that as a matter of law the act of payment has been so far consummated as to defeat the rights of the widow or minor children or claims for reimbursement under section 4718 and the check cannot in such cases be properly deemed as part of the assets of the estate of the 4SCA3SSed pensioner To make a complete Payment two things must occur the receipt of the check of the Government by the pensioner and the execution by him of an acquitance in proper form SOCIETY OF THE CUMBERLAND The Executive Committee of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland have practically completed the programme for the annual meeting of the society

circular was tartly replied to by several of the of the members in terms that gave railroad offibials to understand that the writers believed that the road was attempting to sneak behind'a provision which has no force in the premises It now looks as if railroad legislation would be as interesting as temperance law making elliekto AB BB SO PO A Sunday 4 1 8 0 0 0 0 Ryan 4 0 0 0 2 2 0 Sullivan 4 1

votes and the official returns will be needed to determine which is correct The Prohibitionists do not yet concede their defeat As beforeetated In these dispatches an important factor In the
