PRICE TWO CENTS. THE JOGGINS LOG RAFT VISITED BY MANY PEOPLE AT ITS MOORING. Story, of the Voyage from Nova Scotia. The Originator of the Scheme and What It is Worth. New York, Aug.

13. Hundreds of people hao visited the big log ship, the Joggins raft, now laying safely at its destination in the Erie Basin, Brooklyn. Some trouble was experienced in getting the big mast through Hell Gate, and additional tugs were employed. In anticipation of its coming the shores on either side of tho river were crowded people, and the East Hiver bridge was one mass of surging humanity. It was taken direct to the Erie Basin, and after remaining on exhibition a day or two, it will be photographed and then broken up, and the logs composing it will be sold.

Tho scheme of towing rafts at sea in tho manner attempted for the first time last summer and attended with such disastrous results, and more recently in the now famous Jogglns-Leary raft, was originated by Hugh K. Robertson, an old-time lumberman. Mr. Robertson not only thought out the idea, but he has taken out letters patent on the raft structure, and can, in consequence, count himself to-day a comparatively wealthy man. The- plan is one conceived years ago.

Itsdevelopemont was slow, but the investing of capital in the scheme was slower. Mr. Robertson, it is said, has made overtures time and time again to some of the largest and most wealthy lumberman in the country to the end of attempting tho plan which has now been successfully carried out in the Joggins-Leary log ship, but nono of them had sufficient confidence in it or its promulgation to risk the venture. To-day they are regreting their timidity. When Robertson proposed his scheme to Mr.

James T. Leary, nearly two years Mr. Leary saw at once its possibilities and entered into a contract right away for the building of tho colossal raft which was subsequently abandoned and went to pieces at sea. The fate of the first log ship, however, did not dishearten Mr. Leary, nor break Mr.

Robertson's faith in the plan. The weak points of tha structure's design had been discovered, and Mr. Leary very willingly undertook a similar enterprise to get even, as he expressed it "for the loss iucurred by the failure of his first venture." This could only be done by increasing the size of the big ship and accordingly three hundred men were set to work under Mr. Robertson's supervision to fashion the immense cigar-shaped structure that Is now safely tied up in port an existing evidence of the practicability of the inventor's idea and Mr. Leary'a pluck and perseverance.

Tho work of building the great raft was begun in March and was completed about tho first of July. It was laid out and put together on an immense cradle of stocks, nearly a hundred feet larger than that required for the building of that immeuse steamship tho City of New Yora, by which Jarmes G. Blaine arrived from Europe. Although ready to ba launched nearly a month before it was released from the ways, their was a method in Mr. Laary's delay.

Tho voyage of tha raft was in charge of Capt. F. J. Riley, who has had a most interesting experience with his novel craft and Is as pleased with his success in bringing her safely down the coast and through Long Island Sound, as a schoolboy twirling his ilrst hoop. The start was mads from Nova Scotia In thick, foggy weather, ac-eompanled by rain, thunder and lightning, and after going about ten mites Capt.

Riley decided to wait a while. The big 440-pound raft anchor was dfopped and tne "fleet' laid to until Wednesday morning. The sea Was very rough during tha night, but the raft rode tho storn splendidly, and with tho coming of the storm the sea went down. Another start was made, but the fouling of the anchor caused a delay until night. In spite of this Thursday saw the raft about 100 miles from Joggins off Point Lcpreaux.

It moved at the rate of about four miles an hour. Mount Desert was sighted tho day following, but no land Was seen again until the raft was aft High land light. The only trouble experienced with the big ship was its occasional logging to broadside, but by putting one of the tngs behind it the raft was lined so as to keep her going right along. Several ves sels were spoken on tho way down. On Sunday last the schooner Sarah W.

Free man supplied the men on the raft with fresh mackerol. Tho day before tho ship did not get over more than a mile an hour, Ou Sunday night the weattier cleared up and the speed was increasing to four miles an hour. Rough weather was ex perienced off Cape Cod, and the "fleet" had to slow down. Similar precautions wore nocossary in Vineyard Haven because of the numerous shoals. The only damage sustained by the raft was tho washing away of the forward coverings of the for ward end, which occurred oft Cape Cad, Tho raft camo to an anchor Thursday night in Vineyard Haven, where the tugs renewed their supply of fuel and water.

Thence it proceeded through Long Island sound to this 'y. It has been said that Messrs. Leary and Robertson, owners of the raft, will make from 76,000 to $100,000 from the ven ture. This is not so. The total value of the raft is not more than $45,000.

There are 22,00 logs in the structure. These logs are worth about five cents a foot, or two dollars each. There actual cost was about $13,000,, and the cost of tho raft being less than $10,000 tho profit made by the plucky builders will bo something like $31,000. Just how severe a blow is dealt to the lumber coasting trade by the successful navigation of this great raft can bo seen by comparing the following figures with those I given above To freight a log to New York by schooner cost about one dollar a stick. A schooner can carry about 500 sticks.

To transport the composing tho Johgins-Leary raft would have required forty-four schooners. The freight bill would have been about $22,000. This added to the $13,000, the first cost of th9 logs would make leaving 'about $9,000 profit. The balance in favor cf the raft scheme is therefore about The raft will at once be broken up and the logs composing it sold, but besides making a profit more than as much again as they would have done by tho old mode of shipping logs, Mr. Leary has demonstrated that it is far more preferable to ship them in raft form than by vessels.

Although the Joggin's raft is tha first of jits kind to safely ride the waves and travel any distance, it will not bo the lust. Mr. iLuckenback said that tho idous and patent 'of Mr. Robertson will work such a detriment to the Canadian shipping interest measures are already on foot to secure passage of a special law prohibiting jthe future construction of like craft, except such as coma under tho laws governing the imposition of duties. Had the Jog-i gin raft been dutiabel the cost of export -would have been $2.00 per thousand foot or about $10,000 for the raft.

Even paying this duty Mr. Leary would bo two or three thousand dollars better off than If the fsafne amount of lumbar was sent by tho iusual way. MR. BLAINE'S MOVEMENTS. A.

The cold wet weather prevailing In the Northwest dur ing the past week has retarded the growth of wheat and will delay harvesting, already a fortnight late. While some wheat has beon cut in Southern Minnesota and Da kota, the general harvest along the Man! toba and Northern Pacific roads will not be under way beior the 30th or 25th, and in places a week later. In the Devil's Lake region, wheat will not bo harvested before September 1. Reports of frost in this region have been much exaggerated. and any damage yet done is trifling.

Damage by wind, rain and hail has been local and limited in area. The crop in Goodhue County, has been quite ruined by chinch bugs, and theso pests have done slight damage in a few other places. While It is yet early to estimate the crop it is thought it will at least be an average one. Hay has suffered from beating rains, but all correspondents report corn in fine con dition. A chilling ralu fell here all day yesterday, but the Signal Service reports fair and warmer weather North and West.

13. It is not improbable that the Senate for the first time in many years will Indulge in a deadlock this week. Notice has boon given that the fisheries treaty will be pushed to a final vote within throo or four days and the Democratic Senators talk of refraining from voting upon Mr. Morgan's motion to postpone further consideration until December which motion must bo voted upon before another move can bo taken and it will require a full attendance of the Republican Senators to defeat the proposition. Should the Democrats persist in demanding a quorum a final veto may be diverted until next week.

The conference report on the Naval Appropriation Bill is reported as expected to-day, and this may precipitate considerable debate. The Senate demands that the heavy-armored cruiser to cost $2,500,000, inclusive of armament, which was put in the bill by the House, shall be stricken out, and three light cruisers substituted at a cost of each, inclusive of armament. The Senate, it is reported, will stand firm in its position and demand the three light ships in place of tho one heavy gunboat, and there may ba other conferences ordered. The Senate does not expect the Deficiency Appropriation bill to come over from the House till the end of the week. There aro pending before the House three appropriation bills, only one of which has not received preliminary action.

The General Deficiency bill is almost completed, and the naval and army bills are in conference and will come up durng the week some time. If the House agrees to the Senate amendment to the army bill the Fortifications Appropriation bill which is now on the House calendar will never be taken up. Chairman Townsend of the House Commute on Military Affairs has called a meeting of the House conferees on the Army bill for to-day, and says it is probable that the conference will agree to the Senate amendments (Hawley's heavy ordnance) to the Army bill with some further amendments, and that tho House will settle the debate between the Committees on Military affairs and Appropriations as to which shall have jurisdiction over the fortifications appropriation bill. T(day is District Columbia day in the House, but as there are no measures of pressing importance for the District Committee to put upon their passage the General Deficiency bill will be taken up. There remains but little of the alloted time to debate the French spoliation claims in this measure, and the bill can be passed within a few hours unless a point Of no quorum should be raised when a vote is called for on the French spoliations.

If a point of no quorum Is raised a deadlock may ensue. Tuesday has been beon made a special order for the Senate bill restricting Chinese immigration, and there is no disposition to delay consideration of that measure, as the House seems to be almost unanimously in favor of it If tho House progressos well with its work an effort will be made to adjourn from Friday until Monday. There appears to be a disposltiou on the part of the House to take things easy and wait the Senate Tariff bill. Chairman Allison of the Sub-Committee of the Senate Committee on Finance preparing the tariff bHl says the hearings which are beinggiven to various industries have not yeto closed, and that there is no probability of the bill going to the Senate this week. It will create no surprise in tho Senate among those who are best posted on the subject if the tariff bill does not come up for debate before the first of Septembor, and most of tho old Senators are predicting that adjournment will not be had until some time in October.

WHIPPED BY MRS.DIMPFEL. A Would-be Rival of Mrs. Potter Obtains a Startling Advertisement. I Philadelphia, Ang. ia The J'rcs says that Mrs.

Wm. O'Sullivan Dimpfel, the latest aspirant for dramatic fame recruited from the ranks of society, is iu the city. She will make her dobut in this city. She aspires to scintillate in the same galaxy with Mrs. Langtry aud Mrs.

Potter, and, socially and physically, she is entitled tc that distincton. Before tackling tho melodramatic on the mimic stage, Mrs. Dimpfel had a practical rehearsal in the lino of acting before leaving ber home near Baltimore last Saturday. Mrs. Dimprell and her husband gave a charming country residence at Panola, on the Tred Avon, about sixty miles froir Baltlmyre.

Amona the most intimate friends aro Mr. and Ers. Frederick Isaigi. The wife is uu actrers and is known theatre-goers as Slay Stembler. The hus bahd is known to Baltimore club men as the "Striped Turk," given him from the fact that his father was for years the Turkish Minister to this country.

He belongs to an aristocratic Boston family. Mr. and Mrs. Isaigi were guests of Mrs. Dimpfel at their country seat.

On Saturday tho two husbands drank not wiselyj but too much, and at the breakfast tablo on the following morning Mr. Isaigi rather vulgarly attributed the falling of Sapphira to Mrs. Dimpfel. Sho resented the imputation and left the table. "I told him," said Mrs.

Dimpfel, with flashing eyes, "that he forgot ho was in my houso uridor the assumption that he was a gentleman. then went to my room, when I was soon joined by my husband. We had not been there long until Mr. Isaigi forced his way into our room. My husband did not expo him, so I took the matter into my own hands.

Later he renewed his insulting language when wo were down stairs, and I lost control of my temper. I snatched up a riding whip and laid it across his face and shoulders to the best of my strength. I had no other alternative and 1 do not regret my action." That the castigation was a souud one was testified to by lhe victim himself. He went to Baltimore immediately after leaving Mrs. Dumpfel's house and called on Mrs.

Dumpfel's mother, to whom he told a pitiful story and declared that ho hud been Vhlpped "without He then visited a couple of clubs of which heis a member, and after repeating his story, bared his back aud exhibited the scars tc the sympathetic gaze ofc his companions. Mr. Dimpfel is said to have sympathized with his thrashed friend, and as reparation offered to allow Isaigi to thrash him. The offer was declined. Mr.

Dimpfel is a large man and well known as an athlete. He is rich, and among club men is familiarly known as Pat DimpfeL He is also calltd "Fred May of Baltimore." His friend, Mr. Isaigi, is a very small mm, and for this reason the 'ormor declares that he did not resent the insults to his wife. Mrs. Dimpfel is a strikingly handsome woman of about 22.

She is a tall, graceful and willowy of form, and her face, which is full of character and animation, is surmounted with a magnificent head oi bronze-colored hair. THREE LIVES FOR ONE. Xowa Cltlzeus Pay Dearly for Assisting In Capturing a Desperado. Shenandoah, Iowa, Aug. 3.

Great excitement still prevails here over tho terrible tragedies of Saturday night. Hundreds of people came to the city yesterday from the surrounding country by special trains to visit the scene of the conflict. Continued streams of people have been passing all day to any from tho old Gallup residence to view the body of the dead urderer as it lay in the city fire engine hoxse. The lateness of the hour prevented full particulars of the murder and thg events followidg it from being sent out Saturday night. At the home of tho Gallup family, consisting of old Daniel Gullup, his wife, Frank and Charley, tholr two sons, Frank's wife and sons, small children, a family row was in progress.

Frank and Charlie were beating the old man when J. Rles a hardware merohant of this place, Wm. Reinig, a drug clerk, and Mr. Patterson, a travelling man, went to tha house to see what the trouble was and to assist in restoring peace, Frank Gallup, withont any provocation or warning advanced from the houso and drawing a revolver lired shot whloh enter Pines breast above the heart killing him almost instantly. Those with Pine at once gave the alarm and in a few minutes at least 500 angry and excited citizens were at the scene of tho murder.

Frank Gallup was known to be a very desperate man when arounsed and it was deemed best to call out the State Jmilltla. On the arrival of the militia at the scene a line was formed around the Gallup place. Old man Gallup came to the door and. assured those in front of the house that thslr son Frank was not there, but had fled and invited them to enter and satisfy themselves. Having no snsploion of treachery, several of the militia and citizens entered the house.

They had searched the cellar and were coming out of it when Frank Gallup appeared armed with two revolvers. Dave Campbell, one of the citizens who was unarmed grappled With him at the door and received a probably fatal wound in the' neck from the desperado's pistoL Standing over tha prostrate form of Campbell the desperado reloaded his revolver with cartridges handed him by one of tho women and commenced an indiscriminate fire upon those inside. He ran to the rear of the house and encountered Militiaman Bert Rica. Both fired almost at tho same instant. Rice's shot, it seems, did not take effect, but the shot from Gallup's pistol entered Rloa's breast, and he died in a few moments.

Gallup then encountered Morris Fletcher, anothee militiaman, who raised his gun. With the muzzle almoBt touching gallup's back, he fired. The ball passed clear through Gallup's body. It was not yet known that Gallup was and preparations were continued for a closer investigation and to prevent any fuather loss of life by the treachery of the other members of the family. In a short time Frank Gallup's wife appeared, and stated that her husband was dead, but fearing further treachery a rope was passed to her with instructions to put it around his neck.

She complied and in this manner the body of the desperado was hauled from where it lay at the rear of the house. Such was the fury of the mob that the corpse was dragged through the streets at the end of the rope. Old man Gallup and his wife have been arrested and sent to Clarinda to stand trial as accomplices in the night's terrible deeds. The French tabor Troubles. Paris, Aug.

The Peculiar Hestlngr-JEM-ce of the Dead of a Mexican Town. Don't you want to see something fancy in tho cemetery line?" It was Mr. Williams, the United States Consul at Guanajuata, wfcio spoke to a correspondent of the St.

Louis Qlobc-Democrat. We were standing in fremt of tho Hotel de la Union, and had been lUiscussing the Cemetery at Washington. Well, I don't care," I replied, and, suiting the action to the word, him out in the street and to the place where the burros were kept. We soon reached the cemetery, a half mile from the town. It is on the top of a hill, and only approached on one side.

From every other point you looked down sheer precipices. The cemetery proper was walled in, and in this wall, which is ten feet thick, are the vaults for the coffins. From tb.e inside it looks more like an immense dhest, with a thousand small drawers, tha any thing else. On the head of each drawer was the name of its occupant, with occt isionally the word perpituidad." That means the body is allowed to stay in that vault forever. But as it costs one hundred dollars to have that word engraved thero, it js looked upon as a needless extravagance by the average Mexican, and he rents it for five years.

After five years are up the bones are taken out and dumped in the beneath. The body is never Uuried In a coffin, as in the United States, expept among, the rich. The undertaker furn fshes tlreeoffin to carry the body to the gravt in, and it is there put into the stone box. Wrhere the family of the deceased can not affrd to hire a coffin, they are allowed to uso one of the city coffins. There are six of tliese, and they are out nearly all the time.

If the people do rpot want to pay for the use of a vault, they can bury their de'-d in (the vacant space in the center of the cemetery. The body is allowed to 6tay in t. ground for awhile and is then dug up. Underneath the cemetery is a large vault, 1,000 feet long, 14 feet high and 6 feet wide. This is the final resting place.

Here the bones are dumpejd for the last time, and although the cemetery at Guanajuata is only 23 years old, there are 23,000 cubic feet of bones there. The vault in another year will be full. There are twenty-five mummies in the vault When we got back among tho small vaults once more I noticed a cabinet photograph of a young Mexican lady who was killed in 1883 by her lover. It created a great sensation at the time, and when she was buried her parents very kindly put her picture on er head plate. As we vere returning we passed a "Panteon Municipal" funeral.

The coffin is carried by two men to the foot of the mountain and there transferred to the back of a burro. BRUNO'S INTELLIGENCE. How a Smart Dog Fooled His Mate ami Secured a Warm. Coruor. The anecdote in the New York Examiner, relating to a knowing dog who could only be unseated from a favorite chair by cries of cats," and at last turned the ruse successfully upon his mistress, reminds the writer of a true story told him, a few years ago, by a Baptist deacon in Whitesville, N.

which may amuse some of the younger readers Mr. was one of the early settlers of Allegany County, and while clearing up his land owned two large Newfoundland dogs. These were not permitted to come into the house except in the kitchen. In the chimney corner was one particular spot which in cold weather was the favorite dozing-place of the dogs. As there was only room enough for one to lie down at a time, tho place was greatly coveted by both, and when once in, nothing could induce tho favored occupant to vacate until he was disposed to do so.

On a cold day one of the dogs was asleep in this little nook, when the other came in with his master from the barn, and immediately a sharp battle began for the right of possession. iThe new-comer barked, bit and worried his 1 mate, and even tried to draw him out of his snug quarters by main force, but all to no purpose. Seeing he was not likely to succeed in that way, a new thought seemed to strike him, for he suddenly ceased his attack and darted for the door. Presently he returned with a large bono in his mouth. There was no meat on the bone.

It was weather-beaten and bleached by exposure, and as dry as a last year's stick of hickory wood but Bruno crouched down on the floor, and began gnawing it with great apparent satisfaction. This was too much for the caution of the other. His eyes saapped his tail twitched; his tongue ran around his jaws and at last, unable to contain himself any longer, he made a spring for the bone. This was just what Bruno seemed to expect and had planned for, because he instantly dropped the bone and darted for the chimney-corner. And when master Jack saw how he had been befooled and turned upon Bruno, no amount of teasing or worry could induce the latter to leave tho warm, corner, but he held the fort successfully just as long as he chose to remain there.

Rights of Passengers. A passenger boarded a train of the St. Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba Railway Company, and before he learned that he could get no seat the train was going at a high rate of speed. On his fair being demanded the plaintiff refused to pay it unless a seat was provided for hiin, offering, however, to pay if a seat was provided. The Bupreme Court of Minnesota held (Harden-burg versus the St.

Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba Railway Company) that the passenger had a right to refuse to pay the fare, and that he did not thereby become a trespasser. The Court said that a passenger has a right to a seat, and that a railroad having the right to eject from its train ono not a trespasser must do so at a regular station. A Forpetoaal Railroad Pass. A perpetual railroad pass is a pretty rare thing to have, brat a man living in Attles-borough, on tho line of the Boston Providence railroad, possesses one of these passes. In 1833, when the Boston Providence was beiug built, Mr John C.

Dodge conveyed to it. a portion of his land in consideration tbjat he and his family should ride free over the railroad as long as the land was ujed for railroad purposes. A grandson of Mr. Dodge lately claimed that he was entitled to the privileges named under the dieed, and that the word family meant descendants" of the grantor. The railroad cormpany opposed tho demand, but the Supreme Court of Massachusetts decided that the railroad must carry free tha descendants of Mr.

Dodge for all time. Xooking After His Fences. Senator Sherman thinks he is the author of the phrase "going home to look after his fences." Onoe upon a time, the eve of an exciting election, he -went to Ohio, and while there, thinking htis homo at Mansfield might need some repairs, he ivent there. A newspaper man caught him and desired, after the ingenious manner of his craft, to know what the Senator had come to Mansfield for. Senator Sherman replied that he had come to look after his fences.

Indianapolis and Pittsburg have given them all they could do to win any of the contests and a few of these were raked out of tho fire in the last inning; Tho games put up by tho Hoosiers and tho Pittsburgs showa wonderful improvement in many respects to those played here in the opening series. Both teams have been materially strengthened and show tho influence of the new blood which has been infused.

The scores in all these contests were close and the battles fought to a finish. The struggia now lacks tho excitement but not the interest which was so marked a week ago when the teams were bunched together. -Then tho fight for first place was the prettiest ever witnessed in the history of baseball. Nevertheless the winning of so many games by the "Giants" is what Gothamites aro anxious for, as they realize that the bigger the lead the better their chances are of overcoming the eviis of the unforseen acci dents which may overtaJce them. Between this and the close of tho season there is a long road, over which there may be many pitfalls set for Mutrie's men.

This the men know from bitter experience in the past five years, during they have tried thoir best to land the coveted emblem on tha Polo Ground and bailed. Three years ago ney a grand fight, folding first place from the beginning of tte Beason until the middle of June. Then Ch icago forged ahead and tho Giants took secid place, where they ooncluded the season- They were also tied for first place in Ma 1SS6, but after thar they never rose high until the 31st of. July. For almost wo weeks they have been in tae lead witLi gradual Improvemen of their chances it to the Their record sini'ie June 20 has been as good as that of with tho probably exception of the kCiut-'innatis, who played' the en tire season of 18()'3 without a defeat.

On tho date' given above tho Giants lost their series ovf gam es played up to dA to. They subsequently toolc threo straiVt from the ashingtoiis, and in the WeW won two of the three- played fti Detroit, laJianapolis atul Chicago, and the only two playod in Pittsburg. On their return to the East they lost 0110 of Jhip three games played with tho in the Quaker City and one to the Wushiugtons here. They also captured the entire series of three with tho fSnstons and Quaker City lands on the Polo grounds before the three straight at the "Hub." They have since the Western teams came East taken tha series from Intkanapolis and two thus far played with the Pitusburgs. This maues a total of twonty-nine victories and live defeats in the last thirty-four games played.

This play is superior io any team 111 tho profession. New York lovors of tho national game, While appreciating tho fino work of their pets, must not forget that they are greatly indebted to the Hoosiers and Gas City teams for their present position. Not that tuese two western teams have piayed in the interest of the Giants any more than they would for any other to. uu, but through their victory over the D-jtroits und Chi- i cagos tho New York efforts have beon crowned with succors. Bo, of these I teams wore hopeful of helping Anson's men and the Wolverines up the ladder again when they entered tho gales 0 Alan- hattan Island.

Their hopes liavo been blasted. 1 The Chicagos will bo hero Tuesday and Wednesday, and will be fol- lowed by the Detroits on the closing days of the week. Tho Chicagos have several new players 011 this trip who are just as I great an attraction as those they had with them tLae last time, arrayed in swallow tails. They nre Duffy and Mams. Tho i people are probably as anxious to see tho tall player of Maine as tho aro to sea James G.

Blaine of the samo Stute. That the ex-champions will play their best for victory Is positive. The Western teams have been roughly handled in the East. Even tho Bostons who a week ago were in such wretched straits, havo pulled themselves together. They have met tho Pittsburg and Indianapolis teams in four games and won three and tied one.

Two new players who were with tho club before havo been resigned. Mike Hines was one of the be3t back stops in the New England League, as well as a good batter, whilo Higgins, whom the Syracuse Stars released, has gone above the highest expectations of his most sanguine friends in the two games ho has piayed. The team is again working harmoniously together and trying to hold its present position in the race at least. Philadelphia and the Washingtons also deserve a kind word. Tho latter have been playing good ball right along ever since Ted.

Sullan resumed tho managership. They do not seem, however, to improve their in the raco for the pennant. Should their Eastern rivals continue tha present camnonade against the Western pitchers, thva 'chances aro very favorable for the Capittal City team's lofty ascent. The Quaker City boys now think it time to come up toward the top and trouble tho leaders a litUe. They havo begun with the Chicagos and Detroits, and may do similar work against the Giants before the season ends.

The standing of the League clubs aro as follows Won Lost Won Lost Detroit 47 37 4 i 41 New 57 JJ9 Pittsburg 34 43 .50 35 Indianapolis. .31 54 41 45 33 51 For the second time this season the Eastern clubs have been called upon to go st. It is not with the hope of carrying out Horace Greely's advice to grow ui with, the couatry, but to try coclu-siocs with the would-be pennant winners of that section. Tho club least in condition to do this is the Brooklyn. Their seesaw game of late has not been much of a stimulant to their supporters.

There has been a great falling off in the club's batting. They succeed in getting in hits enough, but they aro frequently not bunched together sufficiently to make them tell in bringing men home. Again, the timely single is rarely forthcoming. A number of games this season fell from the grasp of the "Grooms" because they weVe unable to get the ball safely placed when men were on bases. Their fielding is up to the highest standard.

Burdock has proven to be the missing link necessary to complete the chain around the infield, while Radford, McClellen, O'Brien and Burns (recently released by Baltimore and signed by the Brooklyns) are not lacking in their abilities to catch, stop or throw a ball or cover ground in tha outfield. The Athletics are making their presence In the fight knows. Their big batters and fielders, backed by strong batteries, are going ahead. They have won ten of tha last eleven games played. On this trip they are expectad do the best work aX all the Eastern teams.

They are fourth now, but aro very close to the Clncinnatis and may return home at the conclusion of the Western trip in second place. Manager Barnle's men, as well as tha CleVelands, have shown considerable Improvement recently. No club can boast of a victory before the game with the Cleve-lands. The men are good ball players and are managed by an enterprising, go-ahead man. Tom Loftus so far has filled the position made vacant by James Williams' resignation with great satisfaction.

The position of the Association teams is as follows Won Lost Won Lost Brooklyn 56 3a Baltimore. 38 St. Louis. 56 2S Cleveland 3 Cincinnati. 53 34 KunsasCity 8 Athletic 51 SI Louisville .33 The much-tlked-of meeting of the American Association has been held at tha Continental Hotel, and was not a bloody battlefield after all.

Presidents Von der Ahe and Byrne came together, but their little differences did not wind up in a knock out. On the contrary they reduced tho mountain to a molehill and then sat on it while sipping lemonade and smoking bad cigars. After listening to the complaints of Von der Aha against the Brooklyn mogul the Association passed a resolu tioa the sense of which had been previously embodied in the united agreement In altering the tariff amendment the ideas of Mr. Byrne are clearly outlined. He did not Intend to make his club suffer, and when the Association was compelled to reduce the admission fee to twenty-livo cents he was determined that ne ona should reap a reward at his expense.

Ha therefore proposed that if twenty-five cents was the charge for admission to tha games the visiting teams get nothing but the guarantee of flW. The adoption of this amendment has not given any mora satisfaction than if tho old rules remained. Cleveland is very much put out over tha change. It makes every club self-supporting, and it was on account of this that tha Association changed the system from a guarantee to the percentage plan at tha beginning of the season.
